My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 325 For You
"12 years? This was made by you and your father."

"Well, when the house was about to be built, he also passed away unexpectedly. I think he should have gone to see the God he had served all his life? And just like what he saw in his dream, we here There has never been a shortage of wood."

He put down the steaming cup and pointed to the house decorated with small wooden boards outside the window.

"Look at this, so much wood has not been used one-tenth of the pile of wood behind the hotel. It is all some waste from a nearby lumber camp. Many tourists used this wood to make a lot of decorations in the past. "

Han Qi didn't bother him anymore, and walked around by himself.

It's really only me.

I didn't notice this when I came last night.

After all, no matter how you say it, this place is a hotel with several floors high, and it is so distinctive.It is estimated that many people come to Iceland, knowing that there is such a tree house close to nature within a two-hour drive, they will definitely go there happily.

Although there are such tree houses in many countries, for Han Qi, it doesn't matter whether he heard it himself or saw it on the Internet.The tree house of Mr. Kevin is not as shocking as it is.

Opening the wooden door at the back of the hotel, the rotten smell of the wooden door emitted a pungent rotten smell along with the movement.

He looked at the corner of the wooden door.

On the side next to the door frame, there is already a small hole in the lower corner.And the periphery of this hole is being gradually corroded, making this area crispy, and you only need to gently press your finger on it and retreat, and you can harvest a finger print.

This is different from the previous ones. These places where tourists don't come often seem a bit dangerous.

Could it be that there is no money?

There is also this possibility. After all, the wooden house is too old, and it is very inconvenient to maintain. It will take a lot of work to make the main part in the front thick and textured, without danger. The door that is not commonly used in the back is not necessary. Always maintain.

Carefully pushing him away, Han Qi saw a garden behind.

It must have been a beautiful place decades ago.

It's just that now the garden has become a part of the forest, and the wanton-growing shrubs are surrounded by colorful flowers, completely occupying this place.

The originally unsightly shrubs are now dotted with various flowers that are almost wild, and they look good.

Han Qi vaguely saw a lot of stones in the garden among the bushes, these stones were not too big or small, just the best angle for an adult to sit down... Even the stools should be replaced by stones?
As expected of an Icelander.

Han Qi carefully stood outside the bush and looked around, and saw an interesting thing.

It's wood, it's boards, but it's actually a painting.

He looked around, broke off a branch, and brought the piece of wood back little by little.

This is a traditional woodblock print, which shows a family of three. Among them, this man has his impression of Kevin, and his temperament completely matches... This is very surprising, this is actually a capable person. A painting that expresses a personality.

The little girl holding hands between the two had a peaceful face, and she seemed to be a very quiet girl.

What a great painter.

I don't know who painted it, no matter who it is, his works can't be buried in this kind of place.

Han Qi, who was originally here for a stroll, frowned, and carefully walked around the aisle outside the garden to check if there were any other woodblock prints that were visible to the naked eye. three copies.

It's just that the clothes Han Qi is wearing, no matter how good the quality is, are windproof and rainproof.But when it is scraped by the sharp thorns like a knife, it becomes tattered.

Back in the hall, Han Qi asked, "Mr. Kevin, do you have an ax here?"

"There are always tools in the tool room. What do you want to do?"

"There are too many bushes in the back, I'm going to clean it up, I saw a lot of wood engravings scattered on the garden ground, the paintings are very good, I want to bring them all back. By the way, you know who carved them ?"

"No, just let them stay in the garden."

Kevin obviously knew about those paintings, but he didn't want to tell Han Qi, and his face became numb in an instant.

Han Qi blinked, and didn't continue to ask, but reminded: "If possible, I still suggest to put them indoors to dry, this way it can be preserved for a little longer, as it is now, maybe in a few more days The moon will be rotten."

"This……"

Kevin uttered a word, but quickly stopped, sipped for a while, and finally said it: "This is made by my wife. Woodblock printing is one of the few hobbies in her life. And never She thought of becoming famous through this. She..." Kevin paused, "Before she died, she asked me to put her paintings in the garden, so that all kinds of life in nature can visit."

Han Qi suddenly asked: "Spirits?"

"Yes, Elf." Kevin nodded affirmatively.

Kevin sighed, but his tone was a little relaxed: "I didn't expect to feel much happier after I told you. I put those paintings in a few years ago, and I wrapped them all in tin foil, but why? ..."

Because of the flowers, of course, and the thorns.

Plants seem inconspicuous, but if you block his way where he grows, let alone a few wooden boards, he can also push away iron boards.

"Do you remember where you buried your woodcut?"

"of course I remember."

Kevin went to his room to get a map, or the floor plan of the wooden house, including the garden behind.It turned out that the area of ​​this garden reached [-] square meters.

"It turns out that this place is so big."

"The garden is very big in the first place. It's only about 200 square meters like the house. After it's completed, what scenery will there be?" Kevin said to Han Qi, and then pointed to several locations.

A total of twelve paintings.

Han Qi saw only a few of them just now, but when he compared the images in his mind with the pictures, he found that none of them matched.

It seems that this is for reference only.

Fortunately, I only need to go around the bushes to find the paintings in it, and I don't need to clean up the whole garden, otherwise he may not be able to clean it up until Ingrid's birthday by himself.

But before going again, some preparations are needed.

He drove to a nearby town to buy a set of durable denim work clothes, which can keep you warm and won't hurt you if you get hurt.

In fact, this place is very close to that small town. It takes half an hour to drive there, and it only takes an hour to go back and forth.

Get ready, wearing a hard hat, Han Qi stands in front of the thorns.

How can I stand here.

Han Qi thought helplessly, but he really didn't want to see those fine woodblock paintings being casually discarded in this bush, and let an old man go look for them... Han Qi still can't be so black-hearted.

Forget it, don't think about it, it's all here.

Holding the hatchet bought from the town, he slashed forward with all his might.

Han Qi's physique is indeed much better than last year's. The kickboxing skill he got before has improved his physical strength a lot, which makes him look as gentle as before, but with great strength.

A few hundred square meters may seem like a large place, but it is indeed a garden that can be seen at a glance.

Whoever goes in, even if he bites the bullet and goes all the way forward, he can come in from this side and go out from the other side.But Han Qi found that he couldn't find the southeast and northwest soon, so he could only follow the path he opened to return to the place where he entered the garden.

"What's wrong?" Kevin was quite concerned.

No matter what Han Qi said, he was helping him. He was worried that Han Qi would be injured inside.

After all, this place is in the mountains and forests, and there are everything in the forests. Although it is cold now, what should I do if a snake comes out of nowhere.It's not good even if it gets scratched, it's better to have nothing to do, go in safely and come out safely.

"fine."

Of course Han Qi shook his head, and took the map to study it again.

Is it the ghost of the title?

In such a small place, I have to get lost once or twice in it?Does the positive effect have to be given to me several times?It's been a long time since he found a new scenery because of getting lost.

The absolute most beautiful recently should be the sunset by the beach a few days ago.

After clearing up his mood, Han Qi went in again.

A piece of wood was found by Han Qi.

Then Han Qi found that there were not only the woodblock prints of Kevin's wife, but also some handmade wood carvings with excellent carvings, about ten centimeters in length, which can definitely be regarded as exquisite in the eyes of normal people.

However, Han Qi has professional-level carving skills, so the few wood carvings he found can only be said to be excellent.

And after a few years here, many places are broken, and it will be very difficult to repair.

It took two hours for Han Qi to find all twelve woodblock paintings.Only three of them were still buried in the ground, and all the others were dug out, but not all were plant pots, and some were dug out by mice.

Kevin held his wife's work, silent for a long time, and finally sat down on the chair slowly.

There were no tears, but it was easy to see his loneliness and sadness.

"I originally wanted to accompany you until winter, and then go back to Reykjavik alone, but now that I think about it, I still can't let you go." He whispered to himself first, and then asked Han Qi to sit down too.

"Thank you, Han."

"Hey, what's the matter, just move your body a little bit, it's not considered tired."

Han Qi still had black mud on his hands, and his nose might itch when he spoke, so he subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose, leaving a black mark on his face.However, Han Qi's eyes are very sensitive, and he quickly noticed the condition on his face. There was no paper on his body, so he could only wipe it with his sleeve.

But it was even dirtier, the smell of dirt was so close to Han Qi for the first time.

Kevin smiled, feeling much better, and said sternly:

"At first, I thought it would be good to go back like this. I don't want everything. In case anyone passes by here, I can have a place to live. Anyway, there will be no new guests coming to my place."

Kevin stood up, looked at the garden that didn't look like it used to at all, shook his head and said, "I'm old, I don't have the energy, and I don't have the money to keep growing old with this house, Han, if I give him to you , can you treat him well?"

"Me?" Han Qi was dumbfounded, completely unable to figure out what kind of magical development this is.

"Well, I thought about it for a long time just now, and you brought what I miss the most here. Is this a coincidence? I think it must be God's arrangement for you to come to the White Oak Hotel at this time."

"No no no!!"

He hastily refused, shaking his head like a rattle.

How is it possible, this is a house, don’t care about the wooden house or not, the house is just a house, it’s as high as several floors, it has a hall full of art galleries and warm rooms, it has an independent garden, and it has the youth of an old man for a lifetime .

How can I want it myself.

"It's true, Han, Han, listen to me."

Kevin comforted Han Qi first, and explained:
"As you can see, friend, I have no money to continue to repair here. And you, Han Qi, I know you, the fastest rising artist in the 21st century, and my wife is a traditional Icelandic woodblock painter, this is also a kind of fate , she found you, and I also proved that she has a good vision."

It's getting dark now, please don't say such horrible things.

Han Qi touched the goosebumps on his arms through his clothes.

But, really, for free?

He didn't dare to think about such a thing, isn't this a pie in the sky?

This house is not a haunted house, it's just an old wooden house. After spending money to repair it, the tourism bureau should not continue to restrict the spread of the wooden house on the Internet. Coupled with his own reputation, it is definitely something to do.

Iceland is not a big country, why did it become a developed country?
Leaving aside other things, tourism is definitely the largest pillar industry. This place with a population of only 30 receives millions of tourists from all over the world every year, which can bring billions of dollars in revenue.

Think about it, 30 people, billions of dollars.

How can this not be rich.

Now there is such an absolute opportunity to make money in front of him.

After thinking about it for a long time, he was a little scared, but he also looked forward to it.

"Mr. Kevin, if you insist on doing this, then we can cooperate. You still own the ownership of the wooden house, and I will be responsible for spending a sum of money to repair the broken wooden boards and find someone to trim the garden."

"Seeing that you look like a man now, why are you so coy? I just told you to give it to you. I only have one daughter, and their family doesn't care about this thing. From the very beginning to the completion of the construction of this place, there is only one daughter in total. It only cost more than 1 euros, which is not as complicated as you think.

My daughter has been urging me to get out of here earlier, and they would be so happy if they found out. "

Han Qi was a little puzzled: "Since your daughter is rich, why don't they..."

"Why don't you ask them to pay for repairs? They don't think it's necessary. Lily hopes that this wooden house will become a dangerous house sooner, so that I can be liberated. She thinks this is a prison for me."

"I just want you to promise me one thing, that is, let there be endless wood here."

Han Qi didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he nodded blankly.He knew that this was an oral order from God to Kevin's father.

Kevin took off his hat,
It was a cowboy hat, gray and black.

"Leave here and see what the outside world looks like. After all, more than 40 years have passed. I know a lot of interesting places from many tourists. I want to take a look while I can still walk around."
