Chapter 68: Visiting

  Seeing the old village chief also coming in, Chu Jiaqiang said: "Village chief grandpa, you don't need to help, just go out and sit down."

  The old village chief waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you a few words, then I'll leave."

  Chu Jia nodded slightly and stopped to listen to the old village chief's words.

  "Judging from their behavior, these people are not ordinary individuals. It's a blessing for our Chu Family Village to have met them, and who knows, they might even contribute to the future development of our village. So, you must take good care of them. If there's any difficulty, report it to me immediately." The old village chief said seriously.

  "I know this." Chu Jiaqiang hastily nodded, he could understand the village chief's mood.

  "That's it!" The old village chief took a chair in one hand and walked out on his own.

  Going out again, the old village chief was chatting with Wan Lao and others, while Wan Xiaoyu, that little loli, was getting along with those village children.

  At this time, Old Man Li suddenly shouted loudly: "General! Haha! This time I finally got you, there's no way out for you now!" Old Man Li looked extremely happy. He and Yan Lao were evenly matched in their chess skills, making it very difficult to win a game, often just barely scraping by, not like this time when he won so decisively - such opportunities didn't come often.

  Yan Lao stared at the chessboard with a deadpan expression for half a beat, before suddenly clapping his hands to his chest and letting out a long sigh: "Lost Jingzhou due to carelessness!"

  Everyone looked over with great interest at the comical expressions of the two. One was triumphant, while the other hung his head in shame but still had a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat.

  Little loli Wan Xiao ran over: "Big brother! I want to see Little Jin and Big Shengui."

  Chu Jiaqiang unexpectedly glanced at her, didn't expect to get the news so quickly, it seems that those snacks played a great role, and they were bought off by those little guys so quickly.

  "Xiao Jin is inside, and Da Gui is on the other side of the reservoir." Chu Jiaqiang said, pointing to the inside of the house.

  As soon as the words fell, Xiao Loli followed a large group of children into the house to find Little Jin. Chu Jiaqiang also ignored him, and just now he saw that little thing sleeping lazily with him.

  "Kogane? Daishin Kame? What is it?" asked Ryoichi Mangoku, taken aback.

  Chu Jiaqiang hadn't even responded when the old village chief replied, "Xiao Jin is a rare golden hamster found in the bamboo mountains. This little thing is a treasure and can find treasures. Not long ago, it helped Jiaqiang find a several million-dollar Cordyceps sinensis. Da Shen Gui is a gigantic golden turtle, as big as a small millstone."

  The people of Wan's family were amazed, and it turned out to be a golden yellow bamboo rat that was one in ten thousand. It could also find treasures, wasn't the legendary treasure mouse? And there was such a big golden turtle, which was unheard of!

  "I'll go take a look too!" said Wan Guoliang, and he also walked in, with the others following closely behind, clearly all very interested.

  "I'll go in and tidy up a few rooms! Let them move in." said Xu Xiu.

  Chu's family nodded: "Good, then trouble Xu aunt."

  The old village chief did not follow, but bid farewell to everyone and left with a heavy heart. As he walked on the road, he thought that it would be better to hold a meeting and organize everyone to repair the road leading to Chu's village. Just now, Wan Guoliang mentioned that the road was difficult to walk, which drew his attention. If it were in the past, he wouldn't have been so concerned, as there were very few cars in the village.

  Little Jin was sleeping soundly in a clean corner when suddenly a large crowd gathered around. Little Jin immediately woke up. It didn't have the habit or hobby of being surrounded while sleeping, so it quickly raised one front paw and waved it. This action was like shooing people away, with a somewhat arrogant and humorous air about it.

  "Wow! What a cute little mouse." The little girl squealed and immediately fell in love with Xiao Jin.

  She was originally afraid of mice, but the bamboo mouse in front of her had nothing to do with mice at all. It didn't have the disgusting pointed head and tail of a mouse. Its body was as big as a rabbit's, golden yellow all over, fluffy, and its two large incisors made it even more adorable.

  The adults who followed behind were shocked by this scene, and the bamboo mouse became a spirit, surprisingly humanized.

  Little Loli was about to go forward and hug Little Jin, but Little Jin dodged instantly, extremely fast.

  At this time, the little kid next to him spoke up: "Except for Uncle Qiang, no one can touch Xiaojin. Unless everyone surrounds it together, that's how Jiayu sister caught it last time, but almost got bitten. Its teeth are fierce, and can even crush stones."

  Xiao Jin was originally very impatient, but when he saw Chu Jiaqiang behind him, he immediately "squeaked" and called out to Chu Jiaqiang several times.

  "Big brother! Xiao Jin doesn't want me to hug him!" Little Loli immediately tattled on Chu Jiaqiang.

  Chu Jiaqiang spread his hands: "Then there's no way, this little guy never wants others to hold him."

  "It's rare to see such a spirited bamboo rat, no wonder it can find treasure." Wan Guoliang exclaimed.

  "Meanie! Fine, if you won't let me hug you, then let's go see the giant turtle." Little Loli said angrily.

  A group of people passed through the orchard and saw two large jujube trees that were ready to be harvested. They all stopped. The little girl immediately made a fuss, asking Chu Jiaqiang for jujubes. Chu Jiaqiang asked everyone to make way, then quickly climbed up, stood on top and shook hard, and the jujubes fell down like rain.

  "This date is not bad!" Wan Lao picked one up and said, wiping the date clean before eating it. He knew that many people in rural areas didn't use pesticides because many farmers were influenced by a small farmer mentality, feeling that it wasn't worth the cost, and they would rather have lower yields. After all, much of what they grew was for their own consumption.

  Wan Wei Ling and other women like it more, the jujube originally has the effect of nourishing blood and beauty, is a kind of fruit that women like very much. And Chu Jiaqiang's two jujube trees are really pleasing to the eye.

  "Huh! This small river actually has so many fish, shrimp and crabs. Ah, that's a yellow croaker, what a big one!" Wan Guoliang walked to the edge of the large ditch and saw the fish swimming happily in the water.

  Wan Wei's eyes lit up and she asked: "Is it yours?"

  "This entire area is mine, and these fish, shrimp, and crabs are no exception. They're not raised, they're all wild." Chu Jiaqiang explained.

  "Impossible! How could there be so many wild ones, and how could wild crabs grow to be that big? And they appear in groups, what a scam!" Wan Weiling said, clearly disbelieving, wrinkling her nose.

  "What's so surprising about this? Before I came back, no one had taken care of this place for over a year. With good living conditions and no human disturbance, plus the reservoir outside with abundant resources, it's not impossible that such a situation would occur. Anyway, when I came back, this is what I saw, and it's not just these birds, there are more bird species around here too, can't be because of me feeding them, right?" Chu Jiaqiang said.

  "Wild? Good stuff, really good stuff! I'll catch some to bring back later." Wang Guoliang's eyes lit up, his expression just like when his wife saw the big dates earlier, and even more so.

  "It seems that this place is indeed a blessed land! Animals have a very strong sense of intuition, and most of them choose to live in a place with good energy." Wan Lao's eyes were quite sharp, and with just one glance at the fish swimming in the water, he knew that they were not being fed. He was also amazed, as the gathering of so many wild animals indicated that this place was truly extraordinary.

  Chu Jiaqiang introduced himself along the way, his own melons, fruits and vegetables. Looking at the lush melons, this orchard complements the vast fruit forest on the opposite mountain valley, the green strawberries and the majestic yellow flowers, Wan Guoliang and others had to admit that Chu Jiaqiang indeed has his own set of skills in planting.

  "It seems you're going all out, integrating planting with ecology and tourism, the path is very well taken." Wan Guoliang praised.

  "Actually, every place is a huge treasure trove, it just depends on how you develop it." Chu Jiaqiang said.

  At this time, the suspension bridge was almost completed, and its outline had come out. The clear water reservoir looked like a green lake, with a small island in the middle, a bridge spanning across it, facing a quiet mountain valley, with a stretch of tender sandy beach below, behind which stood magnificent yellow flowers, and a refreshing river breeze blew over, making one feel very comfortable, cool to the heart, and in the distance, the big mountains transmitted crisp bird calls, everything was so harmonious and natural.

  "If a recliner were placed here, with a parasol standing beside it, how wonderful that would be!" Wan Weiling exclaimed in rapture. She was already eagerly anticipating the day when the yellow flowers behind her would bloom and the wooden bridge before her would be completed.

  "Hehe! It will be improved later, and when the time comes, a few boats can be put in the reservoir. On the small island, fishing enthusiasts can fish under the palm trees." Chu Jiaqiang had already outlined a grand blueprint in his mind.

  "It's indeed a great place!" Wan Lao also praised, just now he felt like he almost merged with this vast nature.

  "This reservoir really has a lot of good stuff, you kid have made a big profit, I won't mention this river beach, but this reservoir is absolutely a great bargain for you." Wan Guoliang saw the fish swimming in groups in the water, and it seemed that there were not a few. Just these wild fish alone could be sold outside for several times or even dozens of times the original cost.

  "The water here is so cool, I want to swim in it." Little Loli also said, regretting not bringing her beautiful life ring.

  Mrs. Wan immediately pulled her granddaughter and warned her not to come swimming here casually. The water in this reservoir is too deep, she was very worried, at least before the safety measures of the reservoir were done well, she would not let this little girl come swimming.

  Chu's family was strong and crouched by the side of the reservoir, his right hand seemingly moving in a regular motion to ripple the water surface. Before long, a giant turtle emerged from the water and crawled towards this direction.

  Qian Yan saw such a big golden turtle, Wan Guoliang and others were still shocked.

  The golden turtle was quite overbearing, angrily driving away the fish that were chasing after it. After finishing the spiritual water that Chu Jiaqiang had released, it climbed to the shore and looked up at Chu Jiaqiang with its eyes wide open. Chu Jiaqiang's mouth twitched, this guy had the thickest skin of all.

  The little loli saw the huge golden turtle, but instead of being afraid, she stretched out her small hand to touch the turtle's back, and her face turned bright red with excitement.

  "Beware of being bitten." Wan Guoliang immediately organized his daughter, for a turtle's bite was quite vicious.

  However, the Golden Turtle has lived for so long that its IQ is quite high. It understands that these people have a good relationship with Chu Jiaqiang, so it doesn't reject them either. It allows Xiaoluo to act freely in order to get more discounts from Chu Jiaqiang.

  The little loli was even more delighted and immediately urged her mother to take a photo with the giant turtle. The golden turtle also cooperated, slightly leaning its head over.

  "Cough cough! This Golden Turtle is too... incredible, right?" Wang Guoliang stared with wide eyes.
