At this moment, beside the dirt road and fields, forty to fifty villagers were lined up, all with broken legs. Some people were in such severe pain that they fainted, while others who didn't faint were lying on the ground wailing in agony.
"Now the road is clear."
Qin Yang gently clapped his hands and muttered.
After speaking, Qin Yang couldn't even be bothered to glance at those people and strode towards the bus.
"Is that all it takes?"
Jessica stood beside the car, somewhat dazed.
"Yes, otherwise, if you're blocking the road, you should have the awareness that your legs might get broken."
Qin Yang nodded, speaking with an air of inevitability.
"Yang, aren't you afraid of the police coming?"
Jessica glanced at the people wailing on the fields with a worried expression.
"Police?"
Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Haha, Jessica, these people demanding money on the road are quite experienced; they must not be new to this. Why don't we see the police intervening?"
"If the police want to come, let them come. These villagers are demanding money and even broke our car. How can we not teach them a lesson? If the police are unreasonable, I'll just break their legs too."
Qin Yang shrugged, unconcerned.
"Yang, this..."
Jessica's expression froze.
"Let's go, let's get on the bus."
Qin Yang turned Jessica around, and the two got on the bus.
By now, the students on the bus had also seen the people wailing in the fields, and there was a sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
"Brother Yang, you're so impressive."
Guo Xiaobin said with admiration. Brother Yang is so cool, even if you call the police, good dogs don't block the way, and if you do, your legs will be broken.
The bus restarted and headed towards the destination, Qingxia River Valley. More than half an hour later, the bus drove into the mountains.
Once we entered the mountains, the air turned cool. On both sides of the mountain road were lush green trees, whose dense branches cast a cool shade. The clear chirping of birds could be heard from among the branches.
The students excitedly took out their phones to take pictures.
Twenty minutes later, the bus came to a stop deep in the mountains.
"Alright, we've arrived."
The driver turned off the engine and said.
"Oh yay, we're finally here..."
"We've been sitting on the bus for over three hours..."
"..."
The students gathered their luggage excitedly and got off the bus.
In front of them was a stone path, with ancient, quaint wooden pavilions on either side. In front of the wooden pavilions, there were some vendors selling souvenirs.
Compared to other places during the May Day Golden Week, there weren't many people here, although you could still see some tourists going in and out of the pavilions.
"Brother Wang, is this the place?"
Zheng Wei looked at the pavilions and stone path in front of him and asked.
"Yes."
Wang Shuai nodded. He had been here five months ago, and back then, there weren't as many pavilions here.
"Wang Shuai, since you suggested this place, how about you organize everyone's activities?"
Jessica said.
"Sure, Jessica."
Wang Shuai responded excitedly, as organizing the activities made it easier for him to implement his plan.
Then, Wang Shuai eagerly ran to the front of the group.
"Ahem, everyone, listen to me, we are now on the outskirts of Qingxia River Valley. As long as we follow this street to the end, we'll reach the entrance of the valley."
Wang Shuai cleared his throat and said.
"You can first stroll around the shops on both sides. After that, we will have lunch, and after lunch, we'll enter the valley."
Wang Shuai said. It was already eleven o'clock, and after visiting the shops and having lunch, it would be around twelve, just perfect to enter the valley.
Everyone had no objections to this proposal, especially the girls who loved shopping.
Whether the shops in the wooden pavilions or the roadside stalls, most of the items were various strange stones, as this was deep in the mountains.
Curious stones refer to naturally shaped stones with unusual forms. Their material, shape, color, and patterns are extraordinary, satisfying people's curiosity or aesthetic preferences and are suitable for viewing, collecting, and playing with.
"This pebble is so beautiful..."
"This stone looks a bit like a tiger..."
"..."
The students wandered around the various stalls in groups of three and twos, but without straying too far from each other, appreciating the various uniquely shaped stones as they walked down the street.
Strange stones are masterpieces of nature, requiring only necessary surface cleaning without any artificial processing.
Some stones, known as nature's miracles, are worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. For example, there is one called "Huaxia Divine Eagle," which is the same size as a real eagle. Its beak, eyes, and even the sharpness of its gaze are extremely lifelike, hailed as one of the "Four Great Strange Stones of Huaxia," with a value exceeding one hundred million yuan, entirely sculpted by nature.
As they walked along, the students were all very enthusiastic. Some students from wealthy families even spent hundreds of yuan to buy small, uniquely shaped stones to play with.
"Come take a look, don't miss out. A single slice can trade for a big villa, a single slice can trade for a car..."
The shout of a middle-aged man attracted quite a bit of attention.
"A single slice can trade for a big villa?"
Sun Tiantian blinked her eyes in surprise.
"I don't know, let's go and take a look."
Su Qingqing shook her head and said.
Not only the two girls but many students had also heard the shout of the middle-aged man, and they all gathered around his stall.
However, to great disappointment, the stall did not have any particularly special stones, but rather some very ordinary stones like those commonly seen by the roadside.
"What kind of stones are these? They're not pretty at all."
"They're so basic, are these stones also for sale?"
"..."
"Brother Wang, do you think this owner has gone crazy for money, selling these kinds of stones too?"
In the crowd, Zheng Wei sneered, directing his comment to Wang Shuai.
"Who knows, there are all kinds of people nowadays."
Wang Shuai nodded, casting a disdainful glance at the middle-aged owner as well.
"Hey, you two young fellows, you don't understand, do you? This is called stone gambling, and it's different from those curious stones."
The middle-aged owner was displeased and said to the two.
"Stone gambling?"
The observing students were puzzled. Evidently, most of them had never heard this term before.
"These two words sound familiar. Jadeite seems to come from inside these stones, right?"
Sun Tiantian pondered for a moment and said.
"This pretty young lady knows a lot. When you cut open these stones, you can see the jadeite inside."
The middle-aged owner said.
Hearing this, both Zheng Wei and Wang Shuai felt a bit embarrassed.
"You say there's jadeite inside these stones? What if I buy one, and there isn't?"
Wang Shuai pointed at a stone and asked.
