Manor Romance

Chapter 45
After a while, the villagers brought the trolley and tools. Yunli and Lin Changqing took the tools and returned to the Buddhist temple again. The villagers still shy away from this place, and they didn't ask them to help. They all stood outside the gatehouse, waiting for the progress of the incident.

The collapsed deep pit has taken away most of the soil under the roots of the old iron tree, saving them a lot of digging effort. The only problem now is that the surrounding ground is still very unstable and there is a danger of further subsidence at any time, so Find a way to move it out safely, if it falls into the deep pit, it will be in big trouble.

Yunli thought of a way to make the rope into a looper, just like the noose used by herdsmen to tie up livestock. Standing in a safe place, he threw the rope out so that the mouth of the noose would hit the old iron tree, and the trunk would be fastened firmly.Do this three times, wrap the old iron tree with three long ropes in the shape of a "D", and fix the ends of the ropes to the surrounding tree trunks or large rocks. Fortunately, the villagers brought enough ropes, otherwise they would have This plan cannot be implemented.

The branches and leaves of the old iron tree are very developed, so it is not easy to throw the trap. Lin Changqing made a lot of attempts, and was lucky to hit it once, but he couldn't catch it after all. In the end, Yunli took the lead, and it took a few hits Putting the other two on smoothly, Lin Changqing was very surprised, and asked with a smile whether he came from the grasslands, and that's what he did since he was a child herding cattle and sheep.

This will prevent the cycads from falling into the pit. To be on the safe side, Yun Li also gave up taking the risk of digging with a shovel, and instead pulled the rope to loosen the remaining soil with the help of vibration, thereby pulling the whole old cycads out of the pit. come out.Generally speaking, the roots of this old iron tree, which has grown for an unknown number of years, are unimaginably developed and intertwined, and it is impossible to use human power to pull them out.But due to the looseness and subsidence of the ground, Yunli's whimsical method became possible.

When pulling, you can't rely on brute force alone, not only the effect is not good, but also the roots will be broken. The force must be even and frequent, scattered and rhythmic, and the roots and soil will be separated little by little. This is very similar to harvesting potatoes and turning over the soil. , is a technical job.

The looseness of the ground was worse than expected. When the two of them pulled down the old iron tree, the ground collapsed several times one after another. Fortunately, they stood far away and were not involved.After working for a while, I pulled out the old iron tree, carefully pulled it to a safe area, put it on a wheelbarrow, fixed it with a rope, and pushed it back.

The two came out again, which caused a commotion among everyone, and they all gave way to a passage for the two to pass through smoothly.Performing a full set, Lin Changqing supported the car with one hand, and held up the string of Buddhist beads with the other hand, chanting words in Mandarin, "Namo Amitabha, heaven and earth are spirited, evil spirits are scattered" and other nondescript words Yes, Yunli felt ashamed when he heard it.

The unicycle is not easy to control, and requires a high balance skill to drive it properly. There are farmers in Shanglu Village who use this kind of vehicle. Yunli has played with it out of curiosity before, so he is not unfamiliar. Even if the road is bumpy, Yun Li also pushes it well.

The two were in a hurry, causing a lot of commotion along the way. Some active children poked their heads out in front of their house to see what happened, but they were quickly dragged back into the house by the parents. The little old man and the village chief and the A group of villagers followed behind all the time, with different expressions, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

When Yunli and Lin Changqing left the village and moved the old iron tree to the open tricycle, a large number of villagers still stopped at the entrance of the village to watch, whispering something.After finishing all this, the two didn't leave just yet. Yunli paid the little old man 120 million Lao Kip in person, which was like 1000 yuan. The price was double that of ordinary ones.

In order to reassure the villagers, Lin Changqing also persuaded loudly, saying that the souls of the monks will be saved by the Buddha, and that the ruins on the mountain are in danger of collapsing at any time, so please do not approach them. When the monks re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, they will definitely protect everyone luxurious.

Everyone seemed to trust him very much and nodded in agreement. The little old man and the village head still held him and discussed buying the string of Buddhist beads. Lin Changqing hesitated for a while before taking it off and giving it to the little old man without asking him for a penny.With everyone waving and watching, the two drove away from the fruit village and wanted to return to the town before dark.

"For them, this is a good thing. At least they don't have to worry about ghosts on the mountain anymore. Although it's a lie, it's still a white lie, right?" Seeing Yunli's preoccupied look , Lin Changqing comforted him.

"That's right, it's all thanks to your ingenious calculations that it went so smoothly this time. If I was alone, I really wouldn't be able to handle it." Yun Li was indeed troubled by this. After all, he lied to them. No matter what the purpose was, he There is no justification for this dishonest act.Fortunately, the result was good. After Lin Changqing said so, he also relieved a lot.

I am not a saint, and I cannot follow the dogmas that are considered virtues in everything. This old iron tree is his ambition. If the villagers object, he will probably take other more extreme actions. No matter what, the result will not be good. better than this.

"The old village head is really cunning, I think he calculated that I don't want money, so he asked for the prayer beads." Seeing that his words had an effect, Yun Li's brows eased a little, and Lin Changqing said with a smile .

"That string of Buddhist beads should be quite valuable, it looks quite old." Yun Li responded.

"It's been more than ten years. When I first started working, my family went to the Buddhist temple to ask for it, and there were eminent monks to consecrate it. It's a few years old, and it's not worth a lot of money. Give it to them as a peace of mind. When I go back Just ask for one more." Lin Changqing explained.

Although he said it was worthless, Yunli could feel that he was still quite reluctant. In order to make the villagers feel at ease, he had to bear the pain to give up his love, but he was a sweetheart.

It was already late when we returned to the town, and Yunli stayed at Lin Changqing's house for a night because of Lin Changqing's sincerity.Lin Changqing lives in a residential area on the south side of Lambert Street. He usually works as a hauler in these tourist areas. He has accumulated connections and occasionally works as a guide to increase his income. He lives fairly well.

Since they are already married, there are only two of them in the family. The wife is a dignified and virtuous Laotian girl with a bulging belly and she is pregnant for several months.After his wife became pregnant, Lin Changqing seldom served as a guide for others except for his daily work. He tried to spend as much time as possible at home to take care of his wife. If it wasn't for the introduction by the long-bearded boss of Tuba, he would not have taken on Yunli's job. People are able to recognize it, it is really fate.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and Lin Changqing was afraid that Yunli would not be used to Lao food, so he specially cooked a few traditional Chinese dishes, which tasted very authentic, and with their special cooking, it had a special taste.During the dinner, Lin Changqing also solemnly thanked Yunli again, saying that if he hadn't sacrificed his life to save him in a crisis, he might not have the chance to come back to see the birth of his first child.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't let go of this matter yet, and Yun Li had nothing to do with him, so he could only repeat what he said before.That night Lin Changqing got very drunk, and even though Yun Li also drank a lot, but with the electromagnetic body protection, he didn't feel any discomfort.

Finding Tieshu went smoothly unexpectedly. Originally, he thought there would be some twists and turns, so he specially reserved two more days for his itinerary. Now that he successfully completed the task, Yunli was not in a hurry to leave. Accompanied by Lin Changqing, he went to the surrounding area After a tour, I took a look to see if there were any plants suitable for cultivation.

After two days of playing, although he didn't find anything new, he also collected some unique local flowers and plants, and planned to plant them when he returned to Xiaolu Mountain.As for the old cycad tree, Lin Changqing assured him that it would be fine to leave it to him to get it. Within a week, the old cycad tree would be safely sent back to Xiaolu Mountain.

Their families, neighbors, and even some friends from the motherland are all engaged in this logistics industry. They are very active on the border and have their own network of contacts and doorways.Lin Changqing also joked that as long as you can report an address, they can deliver it to you no matter where it is on the earth.

The iron tree has a strong vitality, so there is no need to worry about any bumps in the transportation, so Yunli is very relieved to let Lin Changqing do it. When he parted, he would have given the guide and the transportation fee together.But the couple didn't want to live or die, so Yunli had no choice but to give up and told him to write to him when the child was born so that he could prepare a gift for the child.

After leaving Laos, Yunli didn't go back to Xiaolu Mountain, but directly went back to the orphanage.

I don't know if I don't come back. Aunt Qianqian was sent to the hospital because she was unwell for a few days, but he hasn't received any news in the past few days. It seems that Aunt Fang didn't want to make himself worry, so she didn't want to be notified.Yun Li didn't care about taking a rest, so he rushed to the hospital without stopping. Seeing that Aunt Fang was fine, his tense nerves were relieved.

"You silly boy, what can Aunt Fang do? I have to go to your graduation ceremony in a few days. It will be four years in a blink of an eye. I didn't make it when I started school. I can't miss it this time." Aunt Fang leaned on the hospital bed, held Yunli's hand and said with a smile, she looked pretty good, but she was a little pale, and there seemed to be a lot more gray hair on her temples than when they met last time.

"Don't go if you feel uncomfortable. The doctor said that you haven't had enough rest. You can't go anywhere these days. Just lie down and rest obediently." Yun Li frowned, persuading him earnestly.

"The whole body is lying down, how can I not have enough rest? When Lily graduated, she also said that I was not in good health, and secretly kept the date. When I found out, it had been over for a few days. This time it is your turn to graduate, time and place I've made inquiries, and if I can't go again, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people." Aunt Fang counted her fingers and said with an aggrieved expression.

"Then you can't go. If you let Lily know that you only go to my graduation ceremony, will you still have a good face in the future?" Seeing Aunt Fang's appearance, Yunli couldn't bear to ask What is she, she had no choice but to insist on going around the corner.
