Chapter 254 Childhood Enemy
Meng Xiaoben smiled naturally, had an idea, and said, "A friend of mine is a root carver, and he collects tree roots everywhere. He also asked me if there are any good tree roots in my hometown, and asked me to get two for him. Look at this tree root."

As Meng Xiaoben said, he poured clean water on the roots of the tree to wash away the soil on the surface.

When the black and hard ebony surface appeared, Meng Xiaoben's heart beat immediately: Treasure!
What a big piece of golden ebony!

Such a big piece is worth tens of millions?tens of millions?
Meng Xiaoben immediately stopped cleaning, and deliberately wiped the cleaned place with floating soil again, so that outsiders could not see the truth inside at a glance.

At this moment, the village head came back from the neighbor's house.

"Xiao Ben, why are you studying it? You also want to play with root carving?" Meng Laosan asked.

"Third Uncle, I don't know how to play this game. It's a friend of mine who asked me to help him find tree roots."

"Did you fancy this?" The village head kicked the tree root with his foot.

"This one doesn't look very good, the shape is wrong, but it's okay to take it back and give it to my friend. I'll take a photo and ask my friend if it's okay?" Meng Xiaoben said lightly.

He knows that farmers are extremely shrewd, and if you have a slight flaw, they will see the problem.

Meng Xiaoben took out his mobile phone and took two photos.

"Whose family is this? Do you want it?" Meng Xiaoben asked the village chief.

"Hahaha," the village head and his wife laughed together, took Meng Xiaoben back to the house, and sat down.

Meng Xiaoben was confused: what are the village head and his wife laughing at?
"Third uncle and third aunt, what are you laughing at?" Meng Xiaoben was dumbfounded.

The village head stopped laughing, "When this matter is mentioned, there is no one in the village who does not laugh. There is a story in it."

"Third Uncle, tell me quickly." Meng Xiaoben was terrified, wondering what happened to the root of this tree, and whether he could get it.

The third aunt brought the food, and the three of them ate while the third uncle started talking.

This big tree root was dug out by neighbor Wu Maojie three years ago when he was digging a vegetable cellar.

Wu Maojie has a strange name and a strange person.People are tall and round, very fierce.He is a well-known bastard in the village, who specializes in bullying honest people.He is very bad, if anyone's dogs or chickens run into his yard, and none of them can come out alive, he will kill them all and eat their meat.Therefore, there is no one in the village who does not hate him.

A few years ago, Wu Maojie opened a chemical fertilizer store by the road at the head of the village, and often used other agricultural materials.After earning some money, he must have given the mayor some advice, and the town sent him a surprise admission to the party. Within two months of joining the party, he was promoted to be the village party secretary.

The party members in the village were not convinced and did not want this bastard to be the party secretary, so they wrote a letter to complain.

The mayor of the town specially went to the village to hold a meeting of party members, saying that Wu Maojie is a model for getting rich. The town party committee decided to make Wu Maojie the party secretary in order to drive the whole village to become rich.

This matter was forcibly suppressed in this way, and the gangster Wu Maojie became the village party secretary.

Because he has a good relationship with the mayor, the two colluded with each other and wantonly sold out the assets in the village.First, they sold more than 20 mu of 5-year-old poplar forest by the river at a very low price. The village only got less than [-] yuan, and the rest of the money went into the pockets of Wu Maojie and the mayor.

Then, Wu Maojie colluded with the mayor and leased a piece of fertile land in the village to a brick factory. The price was lower than the annual output value of the land.

The villagers complained everywhere in anger, but it was useless. All the letters of appeal were finally transferred back to the county for processing.And the mayor and the county magistrate Wang are close buddies.

After the brick factory bought the land, it used an excavator to dig out the soil to make bricks. A good piece of land was dug into a big hole, and then the brick factory disappeared.Since then, that fertile land has become a stinking puddle.

Wu Maojie worked as a party secretary for two years and became rich by reselling village assets. He built a three-story building and bought a car, becoming the richest man in the village.

Later, the mayor was transferred away, and the new mayor no longer supported Wu Maojie under the constant complaints from the villagers. Wu Maojie was defeated in the general election of the party members.

Although he is no longer the branch secretary, Wu Maojie is still so bad. Relying on his in-law relationship with the director of the town police station, he does all kinds of evil in the village, and no one dares to provoke him.Even Meng Laosan let him three points.

For this Wu Maojie, Meng Xiaoben has memories.He seemed to be a few years older than Meng Xiaoben, and he often beat people. When Meng Xiaoben was young, he was beaten many times. Every time he passed by his door, he would definitely get a beating if he blocked him.

Once, Wu Maojie beat Meng Xiaoben's nose to bleed, and his mother was so angry that she took Meng Xiaoben to Wu Maojie's house to reason with Wu Maojie's parents.

Wu Maojie's parents are well-known hob meat in the village. Not only did they not admit their mistakes, they even scolded their mother.

After all, Meng Xiaoben was able to become a master of martial arts in the end, thanks to Wu Maojie.It was from that time that Meng Xiaoben made up his mind to practice martial arts and wanted to beat Wu Maojie to death when he grew up.

Seeing that Meng Xiaoben was very determined to learn martial arts, his father sent Meng Xiaoben to the mountains to learn kung fu from his master for ten years.

Later, Meng Xiaoben entered the county high school and was busy with the college entrance examination, so he forgot about revenge.

Today, when the village chief mentioned Wu Maojie, the hatred that Meng Xiaoben had accumulated in his heart was aroused again.

The village head continued.

At that time, because the tree root was buried too deep, Wu Maojie asked two people to help him to pull it up from the ground.

Most people in the village burn coal, so the roots are useless, especially the deeply buried roots, which are not easy to ignite. Therefore, after they were brought up, they were thrown on the side of the road outside Wu Maojie's yard.No one cares about it, but there are a few cats and dogs who like it more and often stand on it to pee.

One day, a group of painters came to the village, saying that they were organized by the Provincial Artists Association and went to the countryside to create.

The painters want to experience life, so they don't live in the guest house in the town, but they have to go to Mengjia Village to eat pie.

There was a painter who lived in the village chief's house and usually did root carving. He took a fancy to this tree root at a glance.

In fact, the artist doesn't need to ask Wu Maojie, he just needs to drive the car, put it in the car and take it away. Wu Maojie may be secretly happy: Finally, he helped me clean up the garbage.

However, painters are literati, and they should be polite and civilized in their work, right?Could it be pretentious?In short, the artist did a stupid thing, knocked on the door of Wu Maojie's house, and went to Wu Maojie's house to ask if the tree root could be sold?
When Wu Maojie heard that the fool had come to the door, he was so happy that he shook his head and said two words: "Not for sale!"

The painter was very strange: "Such a tree root is still in the way by putting it on the side of the road, why not sell it?"

Wu Maojie still shook his head: "If you don't sell it, you don't sell it!"

The painter thought he was rich, so he took out 20 yuan and handed it to Wu Maojie: "I will pay 20 yuan, okay?"

Wu Maojie pushed the painter's hand away: "I won't sell it for 200 either! You go, I'm working, I don't have time to chat with you."

The painter was frustrated and went back to the village chief's house.

The village head asked him why he was angry, and the painter told the story.

The village head was happy: "You, you cultural people, just read too much, and you are blind. You shouldn't ask him, you should tell me in advance, and I will go to Wu Maojie and tell him that the village needs to clean up the streets. Wu Maojie was asked to pay two yuan, and the village was responsible for removing the tree root. But now, this method will not work, because you have already asked Wu Maojie."

The painter regretted it too late, and asked the village chief if he could buy the tree root for him.Because he likes this tree root so much, and its shape is so magnificent, it must be a good root carving when he goes back and carves it carefully.
