"Anyway, Songxi is a good place with beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery." At this time, Luo Qiu smiled and said, "If you go, you will definitely feel that this trip is worth it."

"Master Luo said this, we may not be able to go." Bao Longtu smiled and said, "Then we will make up for it. We will go to find you tomorrow morning and go to Songxi together."

"Okay, call me then." Luo Qiu nodded, and after drinking a cup of tea, he said goodbye directly.

As soon as Luo Qiu left, Bao Longtu and Luoshui turned to the Sanyang Kaitai wood carving to watch. It was not as fascinating, but they absolutely couldn't let go of it.

After watching for a while, Bao Longtu looked up and said, "Maizi, I agreed to leave this thing in my office."

"Whatever you want." Fang Yuan shrugged, "But then again, are you really going to Songxi?"

"It's not me, but us." Bao Longtu smiled and said, "You won't go?"

"I'm going, what should the company do?" Fang Yuan frowned and said, "I must stay and take charge of the overall situation."

"Nonsense." Bao Longtu said contemptly: "What is the situation that we are in charge of the overall situation? Some time ago, we went to Suzhou for more than half a month. The company did not operate as usual. Everything was normal and nothing happened."

"Besides, you're tired all these days. Don't you feel tired? Go to Songxi, even if you relax and work and rest. Even if you are not at ease, there is still Lu Sheng. With him, there will be no problem."

While speaking, Bao Longtu inspires, "You, let's go and have a look. Forget about Jinsinan, you are not very interested, but Zhanlu sword, don't you want to see it?"

"This..." Fang Yuan hesitated, and was really moved. As a man, he must have a martial arts dream in his heart. He has a natural favor for cold weapons such as swords. He usually doesn't have the chance, but now he has a reasonable excuse, and it seems a pity not to go.

Fang Yuan thought for a while and finally nodded, "Since that's the case, let's go together."

"That's great." Bao Longtu clapped his hands and smiled: "The food, drink, and fun along the way are finally settled."

"So, you tried your best to instigate me to go, just to find a mobile wallet." Fang Yuan was speechless.

"That's it." Bao Longtu smiled and said, "Who doesn't know, you have made a fortune recently, how can you not make some blood..."

"It makes sense, it makes sense. If the rich don't treat you, it's hard tolerate it." Luo Shui nodded with a smile. The relationship was familiar, and he didn't mind making a joke.

After some chatting and laughing, the three of them went home to pack their luggage, and then arranged the things they had at hand. They went to meet Luo Qiu the next morning and headed to Songxi together.

I set off in the morning and arrived at noon. But I only arrived at the county town, while Luo Qiu’s friend’s home was in the countryside, so after passing by the county town, I still had to go through some twists and turns before I could reach my destination.

It was a village next to the town. The town was a bustling street in a herringbone shape. On both sides of the street were rows of modern shops that operate various businesses. Today, it happened to be the ruins of the town. In the small streets, people from villages from all directions gathered. Various horns, hawking, and bargaining sounds echoed in the sky of the town, very lively.

Fang Yuan drove slowly by the bustling town. Before he arrived at the nearby village, he suddenly felt quiet and showed a pastoral scenery. Before he arrived at the village, he could see paddy fields arranged in a very neat and orderly manner around the village. He walked straight through the field path, and at the foot of the rolling mountains, there was a village with an elegant environment.

Houses are distributed in a scattered manner. In front and behind each house, there are basically lush and lush trees. There are longans, mulberry elms, pipa and pomegranate. No matter what tree it is, they are very tall and stout. The crown is like an umbrella, covering the scorching sun, and then bringing a ray of breeze, making people feel cool.

If the bustling town is a hot oven, then the village in front of you is like a room equipped with natural air conditioning. After people enter, they feel as if their body and mind are healed and their spirits are refreshed.

Before getting off the bus, Fang Yuan couldn't help but praise: "It's a good place."

"Back to the mountains and water, the vegetation is lush, it must be a good place." Bao Longtu sighed: "I remember that our village was like this back then. But over the past decade, the government has developed land acquisition, constantly embezzled the village's territory, filled the ponds one by one, cut off the rivers and turned them down, pushed down the mud tiled houses, and built high-rise buildings..."

"Anyway, last year I went home for the New Year and found that the village was beyond recognition and could hardly be recognized."

Bao Longtu shook his head: "It's not that this is not good. At least we must admit that after such changes, many villagers have benefited from it and got rid of poverty. However, they have paid a lot of money. Is it worth it?"

"The person has different opinions, and the wise have their own opinions. Just like a person who drinks water, he knows the temperature and heat." Fang Yuan comforted: "It's not your turn to worry about such things."

"That's right..." Bao Longtu nodded, then asked with a smile: "Master Luo, where is your friend's home?"

"On the mountain, he said it was on the mountain." At this time, Luo Qiu looked around and said uncertainly: "It's the first time I'm here, I don't understand the road. Wait, I'll call first."

"No need to call." Luo Shui suddenly signaled: "Master Luo, is your friend the uncle under the tree?"

"Um?"

Everyone looked at it and saw a big tree near the entrance of the village. The tree was very tall, with its crown spreading like a greenhouse, covering a radius of twenty or thirty meters. Under the shade, someone built some cement tables and chairs for people to cool off.

At this moment, it was already noon, and smoke was rising in the village. Most of the people went home to cook or eat. However, there was still someone standing there under the shade of the tree, smoking and looking out of the village, as if waiting for someone.

As everyone looked over, the man also looked over.

For a moment, Luo Qiu immediately leaned out of the window, waved and smiled, "Fire Tree, here."

"Brother Luo." The man smiled and quickly came over.

After getting closer, Fang Yuan and others could see clearly that the man was about thirty or forty years old, with long hair, long beards, and a pair of glasses, which looked quite like an artist.

But then again, since it is Luo Qiu’s fellow traveler, there is nothing wrong with saying it is an artist.

"Fire Tree, I've been waiting for a long time." At this time, the car stopped, Luo Qiu took the opportunity to hug the man, patted each other on the shoulders, which showed that the friendship was quite good.

"It's okay, I'm just coming down."

To put it bluntly, Huo Shu does not have the surname Huo, but the surname Ximen, Ximen Huo Shu. Although the surname Ximen belongs to a small surname among the hundreds of surnames, it is also famous because of the existence of Ximen Daguanren.

It is for this reason that Ximen Huo Shu has some taboos about his surname. Generally speaking, he only says that his name is not the same, so as not to make strange looks and joke with his surname.

Regarding this, Luo Qiu had already reminded Fang Yuan and others when he came over. So when Luo Qiu introduced them, Fang Yuan and others respectfully called Master Huo Shu and did not mention Master Ximen's name.

It is estimated that Luo Qiu also said hello in advance. Seeing Fang Yuan and others coming, Ximen Huo Shu was not surprised at all. After some greetings and politeness, he immediately smiled and said, "Let's go, everyone come to my house first. If you have any questions, sit down and chat slowly..."

The others naturally had no objection, and then under the guidance of Ximen Huo Shu, everyone drove up the mountain. After walking around two or three slopes at the foot of the mountain, they could see the villa in Ximen Huo Shu.

It is really a villa in the mountains. I saw that the house of Ximen Huo Shu was built on a flat position on the hillside. There was a thick mountain backing behind, a broken wall cliff on the left, and a lush bush on the right.

These three sides are natural barriers, and the front is surrounded by a fence with vines, forming a wide yard. Then some flowers and turf are transplanted into the yard, which immediately makes the overall style of the house go up to a higher level.

"Fire Tree."

At first glance, Luo Qiu couldn't help but sigh: "I finally understand why you are not waiting for a big city, but you insist on staying here. It turns out that there is another world here."

"It's not bad." Ximen Huo Shu was a little proud: "It took me ten years to decorate this. The construction of the house was not my credit, but the grass and trees in the fence stakes were transplanted and cultivated by myself, loosening the soil and watering them every day to make them grow like this."

"Ten years of hard work have created a villa in the mountains, it's worth it!" Luo Qiu praised it, but he couldn't wait: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take us to visit."

Ximen Huo Shu smiled, pushed open the fence door, and then reached out and said, "Everyone, welcome to my tree nest!"

A tree nest is really a tree nest. But it is not a shack built on a big tree, but the name given to its villa by Ximen Fire Tree.

It should be noted that although the villa of Ximen Huo Shu is called a villa, it is not the reinforced concrete building that everyone imagines, but a retro house with brick and wood structure.

The villa is a very traditional courtyard-style construction, with bricks and stones as the foundation and walls, and intrigues on the roof, trees as beams, and a layer of black tiles are laid, just like the houses of ancient wealthy families.

Of course, there are various modern equipment in the house. There is no shortage of electric lights and tap water. Moreover, the floor of the house is covered with slightly green tiles, which are very clean and tidy and spotless.

"Actually, I used to lay wood."

At the right time, Ximen Huoshu introduced his residence, and he was also somewhat regretful: "But the mountains are relatively tide, especially in March and April, the fog in the house was very thick and very wet. The wooden board I laid rotted in less than two years. After two or three times, I was tired of it, so I simply changed it to ceramic tiles."
