Three years passed by, flowing through the difficult years. Long Xing's body was left with numerous scars. He also became stronger and stronger through hardships. The forest all over the mountain is where Long Xing places his trust, and the world here is his peace.
What each tree in the forest looks like, how tall and thick it is, what small animals are there, and what are the parasitic insects in the tree trunks. Long Xing looked at it with his eyes and remembered it clearly. Every place here has become Longxing's entertainment venue. The little squirrel on the tree became Long Xing's playmate, always taking Long Xing everywhere to look for pine cones.
One day, his adoptive father asked Long Xing, where did you go at night? I think you have to earn a green bag on your forehead again. Don't make me angry. If you do, you'll get a beating!
Long Xing avoided the scolding of his adoptive father and had long been accustomed to the hardships of life. The adoptive mother also lost the love she had at the beginning and became a little bit repelled by this foreign son.
In the simple room, Long Xing moved his body and wiped the scratched wounds. There were voices outside the room, not including the adoptive father's. Long Xing walked out of the room and saw three strangers sitting in the lobby, with his adoptive father smiling carefully.
Sitting at the head was a man with a broad face, sharp eyes, and a tall body. Next to him was an indifferent old man with a gray moustache, and the other was a muscular boy.
The burly man saw the young man showing his head, with a surprised and smiling face, and looked Long Xing up and down. The bright eyes stared at Long Xing's eyes, and the light flashed.
"Old Lin, is this the child you adopted? He's so old, you're so lucky." As he spoke, he asked Uncle Lin with his eyes. "Yes, yes! You made Boss Yang laugh, but you are just a little brat. I haven't come here to meet you, Uncle Yang!" Lin Bo turned to look at Long Xing and his smile changed.
Long Xing came forward quietly and greeted the guest who was called Boss Yang. "Hello, Uncle Yang!" He walked aside without saying anything. The boy next to him looked at Long Xing and greeted him warmly.
Several guests came to buy the wood in the forest. After drinking tea, they got up and went to the forest to look at the wood together. Long Xing was called to lead them all the way up the mountain.
Boss Yang is the owner of a woodware factory and deals in various types of wooden furniture. If the business is large, the best wood should be selected, such as sandalwood, camphor, oak, and fir. The favorite and most precious rosewood is difficult to collect. I often travel through various mountains and forests looking for treasures.
The old man who followed was a master who was proficient in looking at wood. He had a good way of looking at wood. With experience and knowledge, he would choose the best wood for the boss who paid him, and he would not lose the wood. He was known as the wood master and had a small reputation. This time, Boss Yang paid a large sum of money to hire him, hoping to select a batch of good wood from Lin Bo's forest.
Walking into the forest, the group of people touched and measured back and forth, and soon selected about twenty tall and strong trees. Long Xing followed and watched, observing Master Mu's method of observing wood. It's nothing more than patting the tree trunk to see the thickness and growth of the bark on the wooden surface.
In Long Xing's eyes, it was too ordinary. Half of the wood selected was wood with holes, and Long Xing was struggling in his mind whether to tell Boss Yang.
Long Xing was so familiar with this forest. He could tell which tree was good and which was useless even with his eyes closed. But if he told him, his adoptive father would kill him if he knew he couldn't sell the wood. Boss Yang is not familiar with him, so there is no need to help him, and he trusts Master Mu who brought him so much.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Master Mu coming under a particularly thick fir tree. His eyes were bright and he was looking around. He kept saying in surprise: "This tree is old, the wood is strong, the texture is fine, it is a top-notch tree, and the material rate is high. Not bad, not bad, bring this one too!"
When Long Xing saw the tree that Master Mu wanted, he suddenly became nervous. This tree was his sustenance. It was a place where his emotions were absorbed every day. It was the home of his playmate and good friend, the little squirrel. No, no, we must not sell this tree. Thinking of this, Long Xing couldn't care about anything else. He walked up to Master Mu and begged, "Master Mu, this tree can't be sold. It's not as good as you said. Really, please choose something else."
Master Mu was stunned and looked at Long Xing in front of him in confusion: "Oh, and another thing to say, wasn't this forest randomly chosen? This is what your father promised. Why is this such a good tree not so good? Okay, what about this?"
Boss Yang heard the argument between Long Xing and Master Mu and hurried over. Looking at Long Xing's anxious and pleading expression, he touched the young man's head and asked in a kind tone: "Little guy, if you can tell me the reason why you don't want to sell it, I will promise you not to buy this tree."
"Asshole, you're itchy again, aren't you? Don't delay Master Mu's business. Sell, sell them all! Take your pick." The adoptive father Lin Bo rushed over angrily, waving his arms to hit Long Xing.
Boss Yang stopped Uncle Lin: "Old Lin, don't beat the child, let him tell you the reason why he doesn't want to sell it. There are so many mountains and trees here that we can't buy them all at once." Long Xing escaped the pursuit of his adoptive father and ran to Boss Yang. , whispered, "I will only tell you one person." Then, ran away behind the tree.
Boss Yang looked at Long Xing who was hiding behind the tree, and said to Master Mu and Uncle Lin: "You guys wait here, don't follow me! I'll come as soon as I go."
He quickly walked around behind the big tree, looked at Long Xing who was hiding, lowered his head and said softly: "Say it, little guy!" Long Xing said against Boss Yang's ear: "This big tree looks like... Good material, my friend Little Squirrel's family lives inside. It's hollow, so I always suffer a loss if I buy it. It's not for my friends, I don't care if you buy it or not." Looking at Boss Yang's doubtful expression.
Long Xing hurriedly added: "I know you don't believe it. I called the little squirrel down for you to watch, but don't tell my father." After saying that, Long Xing whistled, and with a chirping sound, a furry little squirrel came down from the tree branch. Slipped down. Jumping onto Long Xing's shoulder, he happily licked Long Xing's face. Boss Yang was so surprised when he saw the little squirrel.
Completely believing Long Xing's words, he said with a cunning tone: "Okay, little guy, I don't want to buy this tree, but you have to help me choose another tree. How about you help me choose this time? ?" Looking at Boss Yang's trusting eyes, Long Xing nodded, sent the little squirrel away, and walked out with Boss Yang.
Boss Yang said in front of Master Mu and Uncle Lin: "I don't want this tree for the time being. I'll choose a new one."
Master Mu and Lin Bo looked suspiciously and didn't know why. I don’t know how the little guy can convince the boss. As agreed, Long Xing took Boss Yang to choose an inconspicuous mountain tree. Master Yinmu's theory was simply useless. Fortunately, Boss Yang believed in Long Xing's vision and specially marked this tree.
The group of people left the forest with the harvest. Next, Boss Yang would send people to cut down the selected trees. Before leaving, Boss Yang held Long Xing's hand and told him that if he needs Uncle Yang's help in the future, he should come to the wood factory to find him. .
What Boss Yang didn't know was that the wood Long Xing gave him was the best rosewood and was worth a lot of money. Long Xing saved the little squirrel's home, which was the most gratifying thing for him.
