Chapter 646 645. The More You Gain (45)
Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Li Du laughed and said, "How is this possible?"
"Why not? You're driving a pickup truck," someone said.
A ore picker who was about to enter the national park said: "Hey, old Charlie, don't make trouble for nothing, we know this guy won't do this, he is very righteous!"
Someone next to him said, "Yes, if it weren't for the magical boy, I don't know how much money those sons-of-a-bitch in Compitt would have cheated out of here last time!"
"Not only did he do this, the poor old Deckard and the others were paid by this guy."
Li Du nodded his thanks, thanking these unknown ore pickers for speaking up for him.
A bald black man held out his hand to him and said, "We respect you, the magical boy of Flagstaff City."
There were also some pickers who were not friendly to Li Du, and one of them sneered, "He is really righteous, he is simply the generous apostle Peter."
The apostle Peter is an important figure in the Bible and the cornerstone leader of Christianity.
The saying of picking hands is an allusion. According to the "Bible", Jesus predicted before being arrested that Peter would refuse to admit to knowing him three times in a row before the rooster crowed.
As a result, he refused to admit his relationship with Jesus three times because he was afraid when Jesus was interrogated.
For this, Peter has always regretted it. Later, when he was martyred in Rome, he asked the executioner to hang him upside down on the cross because he felt unworthy of Jesus.
And after the resurrection of Jesus, in response to his three denials, he also asked Peter three times to feed his followers and be a generous righteous man.
However, it is often slightly ironic to use the apostle Peter as a description of generosity, since his generosity was conditional and required by Jesus.
Li Du is not a Christian, nor has he studied the Bible, so he cannot hear the irony in it.
But someone could hear it, bald head picked up his hand and glared at the man, saying: "Using groundless reasons to guess a person's kindness, it's despicable, it's really despicable."
"Who are you calling despicable?" The picker couldn't hold back his face, showing anger.
The bald picker glared at him tit-for-tat and said, "What do you think? Who else can I talk about besides you? Why, want to do it?"
Li Du stopped him, and said with a smile: "Despicableness is the passport of the humble, and nobleness is the epitaph of the noble. Why should you have the same knowledge as these villains?"
Looking at him with a bald head and picking up his hands, he said, "Dude, you helped a lot of people last time. We all saw it. We are very grateful to you. I hope you don't misunderstand our group because of a few villains."
"Of course not. Ore pickers are the same as our treasure pickers. When the forest grows, there will inevitably be all kinds of birds, but overall there are still many good people." Li Du said.
Someone applauded and said: "You are full of golden sentences. Despicableness is the passport of the humble, and nobleness is the epitaph of the noble; the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Haha, these words are very interesting."
Li Du just translated some common sayings in Chinese, and he didn't dare to take everyone's admiration.
After pestering at the gate for a while, he drove into the national park.
As usual, when he entered, the security guard checked his car to prevent any contraband on it, such as small stone excavators and conveyors.
All is well, they follow the security guard to the chosen rocky beach.
After arriving, Godzilla and Brother Wolf began to use ropes to enclose the field, which is a necessary preparation before each work.
According to the rules, the ropes enclose their leased land, and they can only find gems on these lands.
In addition to enclosing the entire land, Godzilla also divided the land into pieces with ropes. This was the reference object Li Du chose, and the little flying insects searched piece by piece.
The two hectares of land were carefully selected by him, and there are more fire opals in it.
In the national park, Li Du felt like a dragon entering a gold mine. He looked around for treasures. As long as he searched carefully, he could find a piece of fire opal within a few minutes.
With this income, he has already figured it out, and he is still doing a lot of warehouse shopping, honestly looking for fire opals here, the income in a day is more than that of warehouse Taobao in a month.
He was working happily when Brother Wolf strode over and said, "Boss, there are flying machines."
Li Du looked up at the sky and saw a familiar little black figure.
This time the opponent was very cautious. The aircraft was flying very high and was constantly moving. Unless professional anti-aircraft weapons were used, it could not be shot down.
Li Du cursed and asked, "Is there any way you can do it again?"
Brother Wolf said: "Not now, give me time to make an anti-aircraft gun, then there will be no problem."
Li Du was shocked and said, "Can you make anti-aircraft guns?"
Brother Wolf thought for a while and explained: "It's not an anti-aircraft gun as you understand it. It's just an iron cylinder that uses strong pressure to shoot things in a directional way. It can only deal with these civilian aircraft."
This is also very powerful. Li Du now understands why countries are so strict about the retired special forces. They are a walking arsenal in society.
He asked Brother Wolf how long it would take to make it. Brother Wolf said that it would take at least half a month to find tools and raw materials.
It's been too long and it's useless. Li Du shook his head and rejected his proposal. In this case, he might as well use small flying insects to destroy these flying machines.
Of course, this is also the next strategy, because the opponent obviously has more than one aircraft, he can destroy it once, but not this time.
Otherwise, a normal aircraft would crash when it flew over his head, and people would suspect that there was something tricky about it anyway.
Fortunately, with the monitoring at this height, the other party couldn't see what he was doing, but could only roughly see their figures.
After all, the aircraft is equipped with an ordinary camera, not a military drone search radar.
Li Du held up the umbrella, so that even if the aircraft has radar, it is useless, unless their cameras have the ability to see through.
There was a lot of harvest in the afternoon. The little flying insect swept a hectare of land continuously, and he found hundreds of fire opals of good quality, which together are worth tens of millions.
The sun sets in the west, and the night gradually falls.
Li Du beckoned Godzilla and Brother Wolf to prepare for dinner, and Ivana was very active sitting by the bonfire set up by her father, with a meow in her left hand and crispy noodles in her right, waiting for the meal.
I went to the car to get some ingredients, and then Li Du came over and asked, "I'm going to bake something tonight, and I want to braise something. Is there a more suitable stove?"
Brother Wolf nodded and said, "Yes, the shelter from the wind and fire pond."
Li Du said, "Is it complicated to do?"
Brother Wolf said: "Leave it to me, it happens that the terrain here is suitable."
He went to the small hill next to him and dug a large square pit at the bottom of the slope on the sheltered side.
The pit was about 20 centimeters deep and more than one meter wide and long. Brother Lang quickly tied a tripod with branches, wire and tent poles.
The pot is hung on the rack, dry firewood and anthracite are placed in the pit, and a field stove is ready.
