quarry?

Wu Liang was stunned.

Just now he was still thinking that if this hill was a jade mountain, its value would be immeasurable.

And because the opening hours of this place are extremely limited, if there is no quarry here, and preparations must be made in advance, otherwise the stone bricks for the construction of Tian Heng's residence will not be available at all.

As soon as he turned his face, a quarry appeared in front of him.

And the emergence of this quarry.

Especially the rows of small stone houses of similar size, it is not difficult to make the unscrupulous think that this place is definitely not only visited by Xu Fu, but also a group of dozens or even hundreds of craftsmen who have settled here.

for a longer period of time.

The only problem is.

So many craftsmen settled here and built such a quarry that has begun to take shape, it must be for the purpose of mass mining the special jade in this hill.

But as far as Wu Liang knew, similar jade had never appeared in the history of the Celestial Dynasty.

Later archaeological circles have never discovered this kind of ancient jade or ancient jade products that are always cold. So where did the jade mined here go?

Don't say it can't be shipped.

Since Tian Heng could get so many stone bricks to build a mansion on Yuzhou Mountain, it would be no problem to transport jade in bulk...

"Go down and have a look."

With such doubts, Wu Liang immediately walked towards the quarry at the foot of the mountain.

His interest in jade is actually just that. Now he basically doesn't need to bring back a large amount of materials in order to gain credit from Boss Cao. He just wants to understand the historical background of this quarry and the story behind it.

Now he has reason to doubt.

This place may not only have a close relationship with Xu Fu, but may also have a great connection with the pre-Qin Qi State. After all, many currently known details indicate that Tian Heng, who is also a noble of the Qi State, also knows about this place.

certainly.

During the process of going down the mountain, Wu Liang did not forget to take out another piece of meat to reward the old macaque king. It could indeed provide some help for this operation, and it was also smart enough, which made the domestication method effective on it immediately. Now

It's the perfect time to establish this partnership with it.

"Ah!"

The old macaque king was really not that simple. He screamed twice excitedly after getting the meaty breast, and a stiff grin with bared teeth appeared on his face as red as his buttocks. Upon closer inspection, this smile actually had a bit of shamelessness.

I seem to have seen it somewhere...

"Look, the macaque is very smart. It is imitating your previous expression!"

The witch Hu pointed at the old macaque king inappropriately and said, although it was not the indescribable excitement of seeing a new world, she was still quite pleasantly surprised.

"Why not imitate you?"

Wu Liang suddenly understood, then glanced at the witch and asked coldly.

"I don't smile like this, and there are very few people I've ever seen who smile like you..."

The witch Hu explained to Wu Liang very seriously, but halfway through her words, she suddenly realized why Wu Liang refused to admit it, and quickly closed her mouth in embarrassment.

"Walk!"

Wu Liang was too lazy to argue with her about this issue anymore. He yanked the rope angrily, causing the old macaque king to stumble and almost fall to the ground. Unable to maintain that slightly shameless smile, Wu Liang continued to ask her.

Walk down the mountain.

"..."

The witch Hu Ze followed silently, not daring to say anything more.

But I only took two steps.

"Ku!"

A strange voice came from behind. Wu Liang and the old macaque king looked back together, only to see the witch Huzheng covering her mouth and her pretty face turned red. She looked like she was holding in something extremely uncomfortable, but she could not hide the smile in her eyes.

Seeing Wu Liang looking over, the witch Hu immediately cleared her throat, put on a serious expression, and said with a smile of three hundred taels of silver: "Don't blame Wu Taishi, I accidentally choked on my spit just now."

"hehe."

Wu Liang didn't bother to expose her, he smiled, turned around and picked up the old macaque king and continued on his way.

In the end, I only took three more steps.

"Ku...Ku!"

A similar sound came from behind again.

Wu Liang turned around again, but the witch Hu had a serious face and asked in confusion: "Wu Taishi, why do you always look back at me?"

"Just laugh if you want to, don't hold it in."

Wu Liang glanced at her and said angrily.

"I didn't laugh. As a miko, I have received strict etiquette training since I was a child. No matter how funny it is, I will never laugh. I must always maintain the dignity of a miko."

The witch explained seriously.

The words just fell.

"Ku...KuKuKu!"

A similar voice came again, and this time Wu Liang could see clearly that it was indeed not the witch who was laughing.

"?!"

Wu Liang was shocked!

Damn it, what's going on? There shouldn't be anything dirty in this place, right?

However, when Wu Liang immediately followed the sound and looked.

"Kukuku!"

But he found that the old macaque king was squatting on the ground at the moment, covering his mouth with one paw, looking like he was holding back in extreme pain, and his body was twitching, and the laughter just now came from it.

It kept coming out from between the loose fingers.

"Uncle Cao Ni, get out of here, you damn monkey!"

Wu Liang suddenly felt that he had been greatly insulted. He raised his leg and kicked the old macaque king's red face, causing it to roll several times.

Don't ask him who Uncle Cao Ni is, it's not important.

"Pfft... Hahahaha, I can't help it anymore, I'm sorry Wu Taishi, I didn't mean it, hahaha!"

Miko Hu finally couldn't bear it any longer and burst out laughing wildly. She even laughed so hard that she covered her stomach and knelt on the ground, wiping her tears and slapping the ground.

…

In a world where only the old macaque king was injured, the witch Hu was not punished by the same punishment as Wu Liang.

Wu Liang chose to deal with it coldly, completely ignoring the witch Hu Hu who was lying on the ground laughing uncontrollably, and led the old macaque king all the way down the mountain.

After the witch laughed for a moment, she saw that Wu Liang and the old macaque king had walked away, so she had no choice but to wipe away her tears and trot along to follow them.

When we arrived at the entrance of the quarry.

The two men and the monkey have reunited.

The door to the quarry was open, but Wu Liang was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he took the lead and walked forward to observe the wooden door made of logs arranged and fixed.

The main thing that fixes the door is some thick hemp ropes, with a few bronze nails nailed in some places. These hemp ropes are not rotten, and the bronze nails are not completely rusty, but they just look a little old.

besides.

Wu Liang did not see any traces of slashing with knives or axes on this wooden door, which means that no battles between humans took place here, and this wooden door and this circle of fence should not be used to defend against foreign enemies.

At best, it can only be used to protect against the animals on the island.

After reviewing these details.

Wu Liang felt a little relieved and walked to the village with the witch Hu and the old macaque king.

He couldn't see very clearly on the mountain just now. Now that he entered the village, Wu Liang quickly discovered many iron forging tools next to a pile of rubble as he entered the village gate.

These iron tools also look old, and have many pits on them that have been hammered for many years.

Needless to say, it must be the traces left by the original use of these stones.

Judging from the number of these tools, there must have been more than a hundred craftsmen in the village at the time, and judging from the orderly arrangement of these tools, these craftsmen must have been quite disciplined.

But so far.

Wu Liang has not found any traces of people or human corpses here. Have all the craftsmen who came here have evacuated safely?

Think about it, the possibility of this is actually very low.

The person who could organize such a group of highly disciplined craftsmen to come here must have been a powerful person in any era. The value of such a jade mountain is difficult to estimate in any era. We must be careful to prevent anyone from revealing it...Wu Liang thinks about it, if

If it were him, he would definitely not teach the craftsmen here to evacuate. Even if one day everything on this island has to be terminated, these craftsmen must stay here forever.

And wherever there are people, there will definitely be some traces of life left behind...
