Chapter 44 - 044 Rumors at Midnight (Don’t Abandon Me!)
Li Xianglu secretly sized up the parcel in front, which turned out to be a new bedsheet. If her guess was right, it was specially purchased to wrap these items.
The corner of the wooden box that was revealed earlier was obviously made of red sandalwood, which is not any ordinary wood. Generally referred to as ’green dragon wood’ or ’small leaf rosewood’, it is the hardest type of wood among rosewoods, and also the most expensive and high-grade material used in rosewood furniture.
How valuable is it? Normally, it takes at least three hundred years to grow to a usable size, and it is mostly used for small items, such as red sandalwood bead strings.
A famous star from Northeast China once had a red sandalwood bead string that was said to be worth three million yuan.
This shows its preciousness, and in Qin Xi’s bundle, there is a box about the size of four or five bricks piled up; it would probably fetch tens of millions if auctioned in her previous life.
Sitting at the back, Mr. Li was already tired, dozing off incessantly on the shaky bus, and didn’t notice Li Xianglu’s gleaming eyes.
Meanwhile, Qin Xi, sitting next to the driver, always felt an itch on his neck, and scratched several times but couldn’t find any bug, not knowing that a pair of fervent eyes were tightly fixed on him from behind.
It wasn’t even six in the afternoon when the vehicle entered Li Family Village Production Team. Everyone in the commune often saw cars, but suddenly seeing a car driving into the team made everyone curious, staring at it, while many children excitedly ran after it all the way to the entrance of Li Huai Ren’s household, continuously surrounding and watching.
Among the crowd, there was a boy about the same age as Li Xianglu, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, his hair filthy, with a corner of his mouth cracked and bleeding. He looked at Li Xianglu, who was stepping down from the car, with a particularly resentful gaze.
