Chapter 69: Picking up a leak

Rumble -

The thunder rumbled, shaking the earth.

The sky was dark, it was clearly just after noon but it seemed like evening. There was faint thunder above the black clouds, but there was only thunder but no rain.

The dark clouds are overwhelming, making people feel breathless. People working in the fields have already finished their work and gone home. Even most people in the workplace have turned off their mobile phones.

Lele’s father was sitting on the side of the workshop sorting Xiangru, looking out the window from time to time, his heart was tangled up, Lele ran into the mountains again this morning, and he didn’t know where he was at this time.

His daughter brought back news of the admission letter and bonus yesterday. The father and daughter had a good night together, and early this morning, his daughter set off for the second trip to Shennong Mountain.

To be honest, Le’s father naturally didn’t want to agree, but he was a womanizer. He couldn’t stand the threat of his girl running away if she said she didn’t agree, so he sent her off as he had repeatedly warned in the morning. She sets off.

Thinking of his children running around the mountains in such a sky, Le’s father was worried to death. It’s not safe for people to be in the forest during thunderstorms.

Classmate Le, who was worried about her father, was already in a small village in the northwest corner of Shennong. This time, she took the same road she took home last time, from Jiudao to Shennong Mountain. On the Itakura Line, on the way into the deep mountains and old forests, I passed by a village that had been relocated in the mountains. I couldn't hold back my curiosity and ran to pick it up.

As soon as she arrived near the small village, dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky, and then became more and more intense. When she walked around two houses in the village, the sky turned dark and faint. There are signs of waterfalls.

The small village is a small natural village, located on a slope at the foot of the mountain. There is a terraced field on the slope, with seven or eight families living sparsely. Due to educational issues, Shennong District has We are vigorously committed to relocation work, mobilizing families in remote mountains to move to villages and towns with more concentrated human settlements. Many small villages in the mountains have been relocated one after another, and their fields have been returned to farmland and forests.

The small village was moved about a year or two ago, and the newly planted trees in the fields are still very short. Moreover, in order to cultivate the saplings in the fields, the villagers will come back occasionally. There are no wild roads and no houses. Defeated.

The reason why Le Yun came to the village was purely influenced by Li Daniu. When a village is relocated, there are usually some things that cannot be moved and left behind, and some are simply thrown away. Li Daniu collects old and second-hand goods all year round. Several times, he has been collecting old things from other people. More valuable old items were found in the ruins of the relocation.

There is no cost to pick up old things. If you find something without an owner, it is your windfall.

Subconsciously, classmate Le was also interested in scrapyards and villages. Passing by a small village, he took a detour to take a look and see if he could find anything missing.

Look up, there was a faint flash of silver in the dark clouds, Le Yun sighed, and quickly ran to the third village house. Under this situation, if it rained and she was afraid of thunder and lightning, she couldn't run in the mountains, so she might as well go around the village. It was raining non-stop, and at night she could find a house to light a fire and cook food.

The villagers only moved away the more precious household items. After all, the mountain roads were difficult to walk and moving was not easy. It was expensive to hire horses, donkeys and camels. Everything that was not used was left in the old house. Many people’s doors were also missing. The locks are only tied up with ropes, and people walking in the mountains can go in to rest or stay overnight.

Most of the small mountain villages are wooden houses. Some people still retain the old style of pig, cattle and sheep pens built with stones and soil. Almost every household has firewood.

The sky is covered with dark clouds, and an uninhabited village in the wilderness is like a scene from a ghost movie. If you were a timid person, you would probably be scared out of your wits, but Mr. Le is not afraid. , she walked at night and crawled into graves since she was very young. In her grandfather's words, she was the one who had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

Before she could reach the third house, the sky was getting darker, and dark clouds seemed to be pressing down on the roof. Le Yun was observing while running, and vaguely there were colorful lights flashing in front of her eyes. She ran under the eaves of the villagers in one breath. There was a "boom" in the sky and a heavy downpour of rain poured down in an instant.

There is a piece of ground in front of the village. The mountain stream water collected from the mountains is placed on a corner of the ground with wooden supports. The water flows out from the finger-thick water pipe and falls into the pool, and then passes through it. Drain out the water outlet.

There is grass growing all around the ground. The owner of the household probably came back recently and cleared the weeds and piled them in a pile. The surroundings of the house are quite neat, and there are several bundles of firewood stacked under the eaves.

Le Yun stood under the eaves, and the heavy raindrops hit the dirt floor, causing yellow mud to splash. Some of it splashed onto her trouser legs, which soon wetted her trousers.

She didn't care, and stared at the pool. She ran close to the wooden house and saw many colors in front of her eyes. After looking for it for a long time, she found it by the pool - a clothes-beating stick.

The clothes-beating stick was a common laundry tool used by people a long time ago. In the past, clothes were made of coarse cloth and needed to be beaten vigorously to be washed clean. In rural areas more than a hundred years ago, every household must have a clothes-beating stick. Great.

The villagers placed a clothes-beating stone next to the pool built by the villagers to facilitate laundry and storage. The clothes-beating stick rests on the base of the stone. It is about two feet long, round, probably some years old, and held in the hand. One end is ground into a thin circle, dark gray, and has no features to the naked eye.

Le Yun used X-scanning eyes to find that it was very healthy from the inside out, with no insects or corrosion, and it emitted circles of light, with a halo representing health and a circle of gentle white light. .

What does white light represent?

She couldn’t understand why, in order to test the eyesight function,Neng, I have observed many living things, including inanimate ones, such as benches, tables, porcelain, pots and pans, etc. Overall, only the medicine grinder at home emits a faint white light. Aura.

The white aura of the clothes-beating stick is very strong, very rich, and very gentle, as gentle as the moonlight.

Inexperienced, Le Yun didn’t know the meaning of white light, but that didn’t mean she would despise the clothes-beating stick. She took out her rain boots from the space and put them on, took out her umbrella and rushed into the rain, and ran to the pool to put it on. I picked up the clothes-beating stick, ran back to the eaves, found a towel to dry it with, waved it a few times in my hand, it felt good and the weight was right, I studied it over and over for a while, and then threw it back into space.

After picking up a used item, Mr. Le was in a good mood. After wandering around for a while, he found the key hidden by the owner in the window. He opened the door and entered the villager's house. The things were almost moved, and the main room was empty and bright. It's also dim, and you need to turn on the flashlight to see clearly. This situation makes it the perfect place for shooting ghost movies. It's a pity that no Bole discovered this paradise.

I didn’t find anything in the main room, so I went to the kitchen and left some pots and pans. Then I went to other rooms and searched around for a while. I didn’t find anything valuable. I locked the door for the owner. He hid the key where he was and held an umbrella to another house that was closer.

The waterfall was pouring, the sky and the earth were misty, and there was only the sound of rain in the mountains. Leyun was in the good mood of searching for treasures, running from house to house. Even if she didn't pick up anything good, it didn't hit her. Enthusiastic, he took away two small wooden barrels that used to contain rice and some small things that looked pleasing to the eye.
