Chapter Seventy-Four: The Golden Egg
"And the nest?" then you say, let's go find the nest of the golden eagle and take out the little bird and raise it?" said the missing one.
"If you want to die, go dig out the golden eagle's lair. Zhao Guangming said.
The three of them took their hoes and shovels, followed the valley, and then came to the sandy land, and began the expansion of the pit.
After digging three meters down, the top had to be expanded, and after digging for a whole day, the depth did not change, and the width was increased to four or five meters.
After digging for three days, the pit was finally dug to about 5 meters, and after digging through two layers of soil and three layers of sand, some puddles began to seep out of the pit.
"Lao Zhao, do you think it's okay?"
The two of them were tired enough.
Zhao Guangming jumped down, touched in the puddle, shoveled a few more shovels with a shovel, and found that in the pit, it was no longer just mud and sand, there were already lumpy stones, and he was overjoyed, and his expectations were not bad: "Work harder, the sedimentation of this golden sand, generally speaking, there are several layers, this is a rich pit, there is a epidermal layer of about one meter, but that is too little, the three layers of sand are actually gold, and then dig down, almost close to the rock layer, and stop digging until there is a large slate." ”
Zhao Guangming's heart was hot, he had only guessed before, and he didn't stop even digging three layers of sand, just holding the idea of rock formations.
If you dig into a rock formation filled with sand, the concept is different.
Although it has not reached the level of rock gold mine, this sandstone layer, in the mouth of their gold diggers, is called a plate, the so-called see the plate to make a fortune, this kind of rock slab opens, and there will be dog head gold below.
"Dig, dig, continue. ”
Zhao Guangming also jumped down, and the three of them drove at full speed and dug down for nearly 1 meter.
There was a crisp sound of the bell, and Fan Yang's hoe dug into a hard object.
Zhao Guangming hurriedly pounced, shoveled left and right, and cut the sand away.
Suddenly, his legs went limp, and he threw himself down.
"Out, out, well, it's really seen, it's rich, it's rich. ”
Before, Zhao Guangming popularized the relevant concepts to the two, and at this time, when they saw that they had dug up the slate, the two of them were also indescribably excited.
Three or four days of hard work were not in vain.
The three of them followed the stone slab and cleared the sand around them, only to see that it was a large hard and damp stone, with a thickness of forty or fifty centimeters, and a width of two or three meters in length, like a stone slab pressed down.
Zhao Guangming roared excitedly: "The square board, it turned out to be a square board, this is the coffin lid, you have made a fortune, you have made a fortune, hurry up, get open quickly, go back and get a crowbar." ”
"Got rich? Is there a lot of gold down there?"
"Nonsense, coffin board, can it not be much, tell you that it is all garbage, just this board, the three of us will not go in vain this trip, quick, go back and get a crowbar." ”
The three of them came back with a crowbar, and after prying for a long time, they couldn't pry, so they simply took two hammers and chisels to break the stone slabs.
It took a lot of effort to uncover the slate.
A fine layer of yellow sand was laid underneath, and Zhao Guangming's shovel danced fast, digging downward, and the accumulation of sand layers was at least one meter deep.
"Rich, rich......"
Zhao Guangming was so excited that his feet were trembling.
Reaching out and groping everywhere in the sand, there were a lot of small stones pressed underneath, Zhao Guangming picked them up one by one and put them aside like a baby.
"Pick these up first, wash them, there must be a dog's head gold. ”
Zhao Guangming scooped out a total of twenty or thirty fist-sized stones in that sand pit, as well as two stones as big as a basketball, the surface was all black, and he hugged them first.
The three of them went down to the river, washed away the mud and sand, and found nothing unusual.
It's just that the surface is a little potholed.
The fanaticism on Zhao Guangming's face was even more obvious.
"Quick, quick, carry these golden eggs to them. ”
"Golden eggs?"
The two of them looked stunned, but then came back to their senses in ecstasy.
followed Zhao Guangming all the way, moved three or four times, and picked up none of them on the riverside.
Zhao Guangming found a stone slab and cleaned up the surroundings.
"Be careful, I'm going to open the golden egg, pay attention to the scum next to you, don't drop it at all. ”
Zhao Guangming picked up the hammer, selected a stone as big as a basketball, lifted the chisel, chose a pothole, and nailed it.
Gently tap it with a hammer and act very carefully.
The surface of the stone was full of potholes, black and swarthy, and it looked like some kind of ore with high mineral content.
There was a tinkling and a crunching sound.
The ore was cracked in half, like a walnut, or a peach to be exact, but it was just a hard peach, a stone as big as a basketball, peeling off on both sides, but in the middle it was like a peach pit, embedded in the other half of the stone, a round thing.
Zhao Guangming stretched out his hand to wipe the dirt and gently chiseled it with a chisel.
After a while, a touch of golden yellow was chiseled.
"Hahahahaha......"
"Get rich, get rich, well, Lao Tzu actually found a golden egg, wahahahahahaha......"
"Golden eggs?"
Fan Yang and the lack of an atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Zhao Guangming hugged the golden egg and rolled happily on the ground.
After being excited for a long time, I knocked off the other half of the stone shell.
The result is an oval-shaped sheet the size of half a palm.
This record is already obvious, it is the dog's head gold.
Zhao Guangming continued to open a second basketball-sized golden egg, which also had it inside, but it was only the size of a walnut.
Other eggs of various sizes, some have them, some don't, some have a few golden beans in them, and some are the size of almonds.
In total, more than a dozen small pieces and two large pieces were found.
"Don't throw away any of these slags, quickly find a bag and put it up, go back to chisel it into powder, refine it, it's all golden sand. ”
The two of them were stunned by Zhao Guangming's words, and hurriedly picked up the broken slag and gathered them into a pile.
"I'm here to watch, you go and get the bag and come over, get more, I'm afraid there are one or two tons of sand down there, all of them go back, and there is nothing left." ”
"Uh-huh. ”
The two hurriedly went back to get the bag, and neither of them expected that Zhao Guangming would be able to dig out the dog's head gold, run fast all the way, and go back to take the more than ten woven bags prepared.
Zhao Guangming was lying on the ground, cleaning up the largest piece of dog's head gold.
His movements were fast, and he was already halfway cleared out.
But it was not as big as expected, and in the end only the mango pit was left, a long, flat one, covered with fine potholes.
Fan Yang was attentive and immediately a little disappointed, because he had counted the small gold bills, a total of 16.
Back at this time, there were only 13 left.
must have been embezzled by Zhao Guangming.
But at least two big ones are still there.
didn't dare to speak out, so I had to suffer this dumb loss.
"Brother, how much does this piece have to weigh?"
"It's hard to have more than a catty, haha, it's big, just this one, it's worth at least tens of thousands. ”
