MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes-Chapter 957 Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 957 Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace

The wooden box handed down from the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty is still made of top-grade Hainan huanghuali wood. Although there are no fancy gold and silver inlay techniques, the Shoushan Fuhai is carved with the techniques that are useful in the palace. There must be some people who use it. Noble person of status, as for who it is, it is impossible to inquire.

  Li Mo had already seen the mystery of the wooden box, but he didn't reveal it on the spot. The old patriarch didn't say much from the beginning to the end, and the wooden box seemed to be reserved for him.

   "Mr. Wu, how much information did you give me before the old patriarch?"

   "I told the old patriarch all your legends after the demon capital came back last time. Mr. Li, what's the secret in this wooden box?"

   "I don't know the specifics. You have all seen it. As you said, the hidden secret may have been lost long ago. The old patriarch gave me the wooden box. I guess he has other intentions."

  Back to the gate of Wu Xiaonong's house, the wild boar king weighing nearly five hundred catties had been skinned and divided into many pieces. It must be a big meal at night, and many villagers are helping.

  Seeing Li Mo bring out the small wooden box from the old patriarch's house, several villagers who had seen it surrounded him curiously. Li Mo opened the wooden box in front of them, and there was nothing inside. After pondering for more than ten minutes, he slightly shook his head and closed the lid, looked at Wu Xiaonong who was sitting next to him and said, "The living conditions here are a bit poor, is the old patriarch willing to live in the town or county?"

"He won't leave Xiaowu Village. He said that his roots are here, and he will be buried near Xiaowu Village when he dies. His ancestors have been lying on the nearby mountains for generations. He will not leave. But don't worry, Mr. Li. We will all take good care of the old patriarch."

  Li Mo nodded slightly. He believed this, because when he entered the room just now, he saw that although the furnishings inside were old, they were tidy. The old patriarch's clothes and hair were washed clean, which shows that the people of Xiaowu Village usually take good care of the old patriarch.

   "Xiaoyan, you arrange for the person opposite to go out immediately to purchase a large amount of daily necessities and bring them in, mainly for food and drink. You can put more supplies for time."

   "Okay, is there anything else you need to arrange?"

"It's gone." Li Mo then looked at Ma Tianyu again, "Mr. Ma, I think the chairs and furniture in the old patriarch's house are almost falling apart, please sort out a new set for him, and then arrange someone to repair his house , so I will pay the expenses."

"Mr. Li, don't worry, it's simple, just leave it to me, and I'll lead the team over here tomorrow. As for the furniture, there happens to be one in the town, and it's no problem to make a new set, but the recliner may need to go to the county Purchase or re-customize one.”

   "How much do you estimate it will cost to get it all done?"

  Ma Tianyu thought for a while: "The furniture is not too expensive in our place, but if we add the repairs to the house, I guess it will be 20,000 less."

   "Xiaoyan, take 100,000 cash for Mr. Ma. Except for improving the living conditions of the old patriarch, let Mr. Ma deal with the rest of the money."

  At around four o'clock in the afternoon, five small tricycles loaded with various daily necessities arrived, and everyone in Xiaowu Village went over excitedly to help carry them. But Li Mo and the others ate the stewed braised pork first, paired with the fruit wine brewed by the Wu family, it was really delicious.

  Even Chen Xiaoyan eats it deliciously. She doesn't usually eat pork, but beef is what she eats the most.

"Mr. Li, I have already sent five large bowls of braised pork and rice to the brothers across from me." Wu Xiaonong said courteously. Li Mo's arrival has added countless auras to him. There is no doubt that he will be the next patriarch. .

   "Mr. Wu, how did you distribute the money for the transfer of antiques in Shanghai last time?"

Wu Xiaonong put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled wryly and said: "The things belong to everyone in Xiaowu Village. Even though they were sold for more than two million yuan at the time, they are distributed according to the head of the village. After calculation, each person can get more than 10,000 yuan." Originally, I wanted to rely on this money to give the whole village a whole, but everyone disagreed, and the money is in my own pocket, the most at ease."

   This is also a matter of no choice, Li Mo can see his helplessness.

"Although there are cracks in this wooden box handed down from the Ming Dynasty, it is still worth one hundred and eighty thousand. I will not give this money to the old patriarch now, nor will I give it to you, lest the money will be gone as soon as I get it. I will give you a contact person, and if the old patriarch needs any money in the future, you can just contact him directly."

   "Understood, Mr. Li's idea is good."

After eating and drinking, Li Mo took the wooden box and left Xiaowu Village. He slid across the river in chains, stood next to Chen Xiaojun, looked at the river meandering into the distance, and sighed softly: "Fifty years ahead, here Compared with the outside world, the life here is not bad, or even a little better, relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water. As the outside world develops faster and faster, it is changing with each passing day, but this place remains the same and has fallen behind seriously. "

"Little uncle, I have visited the nearby Miao villages. Everyone's life is so-so. In addition, the Miao people have their own way of life and have little communication with the outside world. It feels like a hidden village. They also I want to change my current living environment, but I don’t have the conditions for now.”

   "Do you have any ideas?"

"There are no good ideas, but I think there are still many aspects that are worth digging and developing. For example, the unique fruit wine here, the unique Miao culture here, the high-altitude chains here, etc. After the construction is completed, the high-altitude cross-river chain here may become a good tourist project, allowing some foreign tourists to experience the exciting feeling, and it may become a big hit.”

  Li Mo turned his head to look at him, then smiled and said, "I feel a little bit about what you said now, at least the level of seeing the problem has improved a lot."

  Chen Xiaojun smiled: "I have learned so little after being with you for so many years. If I want to say the real thing, I still lack a lot in my stomach."

  Chen Xiaoyan was surrounded by a group of security guards in the distance and didn't know what they were discussing.

  Li Mo gently kicked Chen Xiaojun's leg and asked in a low voice, "Your sister is so powerful, why didn't you tell me before?"

An embarrassing expression suddenly appeared on Chen Xiaojun's face. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Uncle, our Chen family village is famous for Bajiquan, but a few big men teamed up and were caught by a little girl. It is too embarrassing to tell the story, so..."

"So you all feel embarrassed to say it, right? That's not deceiving yourself. At that time, I saw her volleying a stick and killing a wild boar king alive. At that time, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. If the stick hits On us, how miserable the fate should be."

   Chen Xiaojun looked back at the security guards who were respectful and docile to Chen Xiaoyan, and sighed: "It's really a blow."

Li Mo kicked his calf again: "Look at your unpromising appearance, I haven't settled the score with you about Xiaoyan's combat power because you hid it from me, and I thought she was a tiger when I saw her rushing up on the other side. I had no choice but to lift a rock and rush up, and almost became the target of the wild boar king."

   "Little uncle, I will teach Xiaoyan a lesson when I turn around."

   Chen Xiaojun said solemnly.

   "Come on, with your fighting power, do you dare to teach her a lesson?"

  Chen Xiaojun froze all of a sudden.
