The situation in Huangyan Town today was also strange. If it were a normal day, let alone a car passing by, even a person or a small animal would cause the dogs in every household to bark, thus attracting the attention of some people in the town, who would want to investigate what was going on. But at this time, not only were there no dogs barking, even the chickens did not crow, and the whole town was silent.
This situation continued until the east was bright and the morning glow dyed the treetops on the slope red, and then it changed:
Huangyan Town suddenly became bustling from the streets to the end of the alleys. It was a chaotic bustle. Soon, many people ran out of the town and spread out in all directions with the town as the center to search, leaving no valleys, rivers, or hills untouched.
Those people were holding long sticks and kitchen knives. A few of them looked fierce and ruthless, like the leaders. They shouted and called for killing furiously, claiming that they would find that person and cut him into pieces!
Under their coats that were blown open by the wind, the wooden trunks inserted at their waists were clearly visible!
The information that was spread out noisily was that they had lost something, and it was not just any ordinary thing, but an extremely valuable ancestral item, the value of which was inestimable! This was such a big fuss that the whole town was thrown into chaos, with an unprecedented shock. Everyone knew that they had actually lost the jade rough material that was secretly transported from the other side.
Everyone was talking about it, but when they thought about it carefully, they were all shocked and even terrified: the so-called raw stones and rough materials are all made of stone, and they are very heavy. Even when they are smuggled, they try every means to avoid government patrols, which requires the use of cars, tractors, horse teams or large groups of manpower.
This would cause quite a commotion, and the locals could see it and were aware of it, but they were intimidated by certain gangs and dared not say a word. Moreover, if people participated in the transportation privately, or helped to tip off others, they could get some benefits, so driven by the interests, they all pretended to be blind.
But how could so many heavy stones, which could only be transported by a caravan or horse, and which were locked in a high-walled courtyard with layers of guards, disappear in just one night... No, according to what the night watchmen said, when they were inexplicably knocked unconscious and woke up from their sleep, all the stones piled up like a mountain disappeared!
And it was not just one yard. Fifty percent of the residents in the town were engaged in this business. Among them, those who were large-scale and could store raw stones in large quantities all turned to Heishehui. That is, the raw stones of these people disappeared completely, not a single piece was left! Was this really done by a human? Who could have such an ability? Could it be the hand of the gods?! Suddenly, Huangyan Town was shrouded in a layer of mystery. For a long time, people were in panic. Those stubborn people who specialized in risky smuggling also temporarily restrained themselves and remained silent for a long time. This is a later story.
At this moment, on the road leading to a scenic spot, a jeep was driving fast. The young man driving the car was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He had a handsome appearance and a cool temperament, and he exuded a sharp and intimidating aura.
This man is Shen Yu.
As he drove, he used his spiritual sense to detect the surrounding environment. If he saw vehicles coming from the opposite direction or following behind, and the people in the cars looked at the jeep curiously, he would subconsciously emit his imposing aura, and ordinary people would feel uncomfortable and naturally look away and stop looking closely.
He didn't want to draw attention to himself because he had a secret to hide. He was the only one in the car now, and a pretty girl might suddenly appear at any time. Wouldn't it be terrible if someone with sharp eyes saw her clearly?
So it's better to be careful.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a noise coming from the back seat, the clinking of dishes and chopsticks, and the crisp laughter of a young girl: "Husband, do you want to eat mung bean porridge? There are sweet and non-sweet ones, as well as pancakes with shredded pork and ham..."
Shen Yu's cold face instantly thawed, as if being brushed by a spring breeze, and he smiled. He looked at his wife in the rearview mirror and said, "Why did you take so long? You went to get food again. Did you see any effect?"
"It has no effect. I am confused. After collecting thousands of tons of raw stones, Yunhai swallowed them but was indifferent. Is it fake raw stones? There is no jade in them at all?"
"As for the raw stone, it's definitely not 100% certain that it contains something. If we find a place to put the broken stones, we can know the exact amount of jade."
"That's right. Stones containing jade will break into pieces, while stones without jade will come out intact. Then find a secluded place to try it out and have breakfast at the same time."
"good."
Shen Yu said, "There are more than 1,000 tons of raw stones in the whole Huangyan Town, and we only took those from the black gangs. They are cunning and vicious, using the raw stone business as a cover to do other illicit activities, but they are very good at hiding. I have been through this area before, and I couldn't find any evidence to deal with them. It's very hateful. This time, let's just rob them and make them have nowhere to look for them."
Meng Tao thought of Shen Yu taking her to search for raw stones in several courtyards. It was not surprising that piles of raw stones disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was like a martial arts movie, where they felt like flying over eaves and walls together. It was really fun and exciting.
They found seven or eight boxes of things in two of the courtyards. These were harmful to people's health. Exposing them would cause bad consequences. Meng Tao wanted to take them away without Shen Yu's reminder: instead of leaving them to bad people to do evil, it would be better to hide them and find a chance to destroy them.
Placed together with the items for bidding were a large number of gold bars, jewelry and hundreds of thousands of cash. She had no time to think about it at the time, and she directly threw them into the sea of clouds along with the raw stones.
Gold bars, jewelry or cash are fine, but I am a little worried about the competing items. Meng Tao couldn't help but frowned and said:
"Shen Yu, Yun Hai wouldn't absorb that too, right? If he gets addicted, we're doomed!"
Shen Yu couldn't help laughing and comforted her: "Don't worry, my wife is such a good girl, how could she not recognize that kind of evil thing in the space she controls?"
"What about these boxes?"
"I'll deal with it when I get back. It's very simple. I'll just throw it into the blast furnace and burn it. I'll keep the gold bars, jewelry, and cash for now. They're all ill-gotten gains. When the time is right, I'll donate them to charity."
"OK."
They parked their car by the river in a canyon, and moved the food to a large rock by the water, where they sat and ate. Occasionally, a car passed by, and people just thought they were admiring the river view from a distance.
When there were no more vehicles passing by, Meng Tao released the gravel onto the rocks along the river bank. Shen Yu took a look and found that it was about the same as he estimated, with a thousand tons of raw stone containing only 50% jade, which was a high probability.
Of course, it is impossible to compare it with absorbing the ore veins in the mine tunnel. Those are all pure spiritual energy, and the ore veins are so large, plus nearly a thousand tons of raw stones picked up at the bottom of the ravine, which can shake the space and expand it by one layer.
So these thousands of tons of raw stones are really nothing to space.
Shen Yu held Meng Tao in his arms and said, "We have to go back first and come back when we have the chance. By then, I will not only be at the current stage, but I will also help you improve. We can go out of the country to look for spiritual energy sources... There are other places, as long as there is jade spiritual energy, we can go there."
"Well, I'll try to keep up with you."
Meng Tao rubbed her face against him, feeling proud and admiring. Her man was a genius in cultivation. The sudden enlightenment he had on the slope was like a complete transformation, and his abilities in all aspects improved more than tenfold.
Later, he found that his strength had increased dramatically. He could run as fast as the wind while carrying Meng Tao on his back or in his arms. He could also easily climb up a tree more than ten meters high and smash a large rock by the river with one palm...
Surprised, the two of them had nothing to worry about and went straight down the hill into the town. Shen Yu could tell at a glance which yard was doing raw stone business privately and which dark forces existed. Moreover, he could now use his spiritual sense, which saved time and effort. So he finished everything in less than an hour and retreated quickly!
Not only did we collect the raw stones, but we also confiscated a batch of contraband items. Perfect.
The two returned to the car, and Meng Tao took out a dozen wooden boxes as well as gold bars, jewelry, and cash one by one to have a look. The boxes were not damaged at all, the spoils inside were tightly sealed, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and cash were also intact. Meng Tao was relieved and put them back in.
Next, Shen Yu drove the car and took Meng Tao for a tour of two nearby scenic spots. They were finally pure tourists. They both had a lot of fun and bought a lot of local handicrafts in special shops as souvenirs of their trip.
He stayed in a guesthouse in a small county town at night and rushed back to the provincial capital the next day, where he met Shen Yu's eldest cousin, Xu Aoxue.
As the name suggests, Cousin Xu is indeed like a plum blossom in the snow, proud and cold. The key is that she is accompanied by a handsome man with red lips, white teeth and a gentle temperament. He always smiles at Cousin Xu and obeys her words, which makes Cousin Xu look even more majestic and like a queen.
Shen Yu took Meng Tao to introduce her to Xu Aoxue, who nodded to her, "Taotao, you're very good, better than I expected. You and Shen Yu are engaged, I'm sorry I couldn't go to congratulate you in person, I'll make up for it with a gift."
Meng Tao felt embarrassed, as if they had come all the way here to ask for a gift: "Cousin, you are so polite."
Afterwards, Xu Aoxue personally took Shen Yu and Meng Tao to a restaurant to eat local specialties. Shen Yu quietly told Meng Tao: the cousin might really like her, and even made time for her and patiently took her out to eat. He didn't have this treatment before.
The same is true for the other members of the Xu family. When they came to Province Y and wanted to see their eldest cousin, they could only invite the old grandfather and the old lady and their uncle and aunt. As for the others, forget it. Their eldest cousin would not be willing to put down her work to entertain them and have dinner with them.
Xu Aoxue casually asked about Meng Wenlan, and Shen Yu briefly told her the whole story. Xu Aoxue looked at Meng Tao with a little surprise, she didn't expect Meng Tao to have such a background, but she didn't say anything more.
Cousin Xu was very busy. She met with Shen Yu and Meng Tao and returned to the camp that night. She left a suitcase for the two of them. When they opened it, they found that it was full of top-quality jadeite from old pits. Some were as big as a head, and some were as small as a fist. Even though she had collected countless raw stones and absorbed the entire vein, she had never seen a whole piece of top-quality jadeite so directly. It was simply priceless! Meng Tao was stunned: Cousin Xu was indeed a cousin. She was extraordinary and super generous!
Put the suitcase into the space. This is not a stone, and I can’t bear to throw it into the sea of clouds, so I keep it well.
I decided to make jerky with venison, tiger meat and wild boar meat after I go back, and pack up space kimchi, pickled cucumbers, tomato chili sauce, lemon sauce and other dried vegetables and mushrooms, and send them to my eldest cousin. In the future, I will give my eldest cousin a jar of tiger bone wine, peach blossom wine, chrysanthemum wine and pear blossom wine!
There are some things in the space now, but it is not easy to take them out suddenly, so I can only send them later when I go back.
Then he asked Shen Yu: "You told me before that the four cousins were all so and so perverted. How is the eldest cousin perverted? She is such a good person!"
Shen Yu smiled: "That's because you haven't been trained by her. Don't be fooled by appearances. Do you know what her nickname is?"
"She is a female general. A general must be strong and tough. Otherwise, how can she lead the troops?"
"Yes, that's right, so you have become an admirer of my cousin?"
"Of course, how many female generals can there be throughout history? Women are just as brave as men, so impressive! I don't have the opportunity to join the army, otherwise I would..."
Shen Yu felt something was wrong when he heard this. His eldest cousin was very keen on training his younger brothers and sisters. If she found out that Taotao had such thoughts, it would be bad. It would be even harder for him to get a wife. He quickly changed the subject: "Baby, do you want to go shopping? I'll take you shopping!"
Meng Tao was immediately led astray: "Okay, okay! I was just about to say that we have plenty of open space now, so we can buy whatever we want. We can buy more local specialties, local tobacco, alcohol, tea, etc.... Uh, the store will limit purchases, and if you buy too much, you need a certificate. What should I do?"
"It's a small problem, just make a phone call."
Meng Tao and Shen Yu stayed in the provincial capital of Y Province for two days, going shopping and using their connections to get a permit to go directly to the manufacturer for wholesale. By the time they left, they had shipped three large wooden boxes containing a wide variety of local specialties, but the actual amount that could be stored in the space was more than ten times that.
The two of them flew directly to the provincial capital of Province D, waited for Shen Yu to arrange his work, and then returned to Linshui Village next week.
Jinniu was still at Zhang's house in the county town at this time. Meng Tao had just returned to her cousin Xu's house and called Zhang's mother, saying that she was with Shen Yu and asked them not to worry. Zhang's mother also asked her to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days with Jinniu and Zhang's father as her company. They grew vegetables and learned carpentry in the yard every day. It was a lot of fun, so she could rest assured!
The plane landed at the airport. Shen Yu took Meng Tao down and saw Director Shen and Meng Zhehan. He was speechless: These two people are so idle. I clearly told them not to come, but they still came.
Ding Hao was pushed to the back by them.
Meng Zhehan wanted to hug Meng Tao, but was blocked by Shen Yu. Director Shen said to Meng Tao cheerfully, "Girl, Dad has prepared a room for you. It's next to Shen Yu..."
Shen Yu interrupted him: "Dad, Taotao lives with me in the city and doesn't go to the factory."
"That's just a temporary dormitory. It doesn't have anything you need. How can it be better than living at home?"
"Why not just buy it? She lives at home and we all go to work, leaving her alone. She can go shopping in the city, and after work I can walk a few steps back to the dormitory to be with her."
Director Shen: “…”
Well, he is old and doesn’t understand the world of young people.
