Chapter 133: A Watershed
Zhao Guangming also came out, and when he saw Fan Yanghe missing a door, he was naturally happy.
In the past few days that the two have been gone, Zhao Guangming has not been idle, and around the tent, the original fixed tent was just an iron nail, which has been replaced by a wooden stake by Zhao Guangming.
He was idle, the sappers shoveled and felled, and around the tent, he laid a fence with some branches on it, and Zhao Guangming washed the clothes they had changed, and dried them outside, and on the top of the tent, he also held a lot of hay and pine needles and piled them on it.
There was also a table with stone slabs and two earthen stoves at the door.
At first glance, it feels like a home.
"Yes, man, it's doing well, my Cameron. Fan Yang asked.
"Where's it in the house, is it going well?"
Zhao Guangming saw the four sheep behind the horse, and was surprised: "I'll just say, you are thoughtful, do you, the bird has already faded out of your mouth." ”
"Quick, quick, get something to eat. ”
Lacking a treasure, he took out two aluminum pots from the horse.
Zhao Guangming hurriedly took it, and finally could stew the pot soup properly.
Then there was a lot of busyness, unloading, feeding the horses, and the new big black soon got into the groove, and the pitter followed behind the butt and took it around the territory.
It's been a long time since I've had a decent meal, rice is a luxury, and they only brought a small bag.
Zhao Guangming set up an earthen stove again, cooked a pot of rice, not far from the river ditch, led the head of the sheep to slaughter, a sheep, enough for several people to eat for a long time.
The rest can be salted and smoked with pine needles to make bacon.
Fan Yang impatiently picked up two fish and ran in to feed Cameron.
In a few days, the eagle has adapted to the light in the tent, and is not afraid to see people.
In the evening, the three of them lit a bonfire and had a full meal in the base camp of the river valley woodland.
Now there were three of them, two dogs, two guns, three horses, and three sheep.
It's a strong soldier.
There is no problem with security.
Even if the wolves come, they have the power to fight.
Immediately full of confidence.
Early the next morning, the big black guard camp was still left.
The three of them traveled lightly, wearing only jackets and safety equipment, and began to set off towards the source of the river valley.
This valley woodland is only two or three kilometers away from the foot of the mountain.
River valleys and ridgelines are a different landscape.
Due to the influence of the warm and humid air currents of the Indian Ocean, the peaks, southern slopes, and northern slopes of Tibet are very different.
On the north slope, on the winderly side, there is more snow and it is difficult to form vegetation.
On the southern slope, the cold current is first blocked by the mountains and mountains, and the sunshine is more abundant, so the Tibetan high mountains, on the south side, can form forests in the river valleys.
The river valleys on the northern slope are mostly poor mountains and bad waters.
After walking for about a kilometer, you will be out of the forest belt.
Directly in front of the eyes of several people was the majestic Zakin Mountain.
In front of you, there is a large stone beach with dense water.
It is preliminarily estimated that there are several outlets on Zakin Hill, which converge on this slate beach,
The area is huge, to put it in layman's terms, at least as wide and as long as a dozen football fields.
In the past, it was the main peak.
This piece has a good view.
There was no sand to be seen on the slate beach, and it should have been washed away by the rising water.
Zhao Guangming walked to the shore position, grabbed a handful of sand, observed it, and found that most of it was soil, shook his head, and said: "It's a pity, such a large stone beach, there is too little sand, I don't want to dig several meters deep, and then go inside." ”
When I saw such a large stone beach, I thought I had encountered a treasure.
But I didn't expect Zhao Guangming to say no, I had to go inside.
Then he asked, "Hey, Fan Yang, isn't this also a river beach?
Why do you ask Fan Yang?
In the past few days, Fan Yang's progress has been rapid.
Zhao Guangming's knowledge is indeed general, he hid it at first, and then spit it out.
Then, I couldn't say why.
His knowledge of gold panning was limited to following the river, looking for river beaches, and looking at the composition of the sand.
But more than that, it's just a sentence, where there's water, there's gold.
It's not as good as Fan Yang.
During this time, Fan Yang read books every day, grew up quickly, and went into the mountains to find caves, which was also proposed by Fan Yang first.
"What to dig here, thankless, my brother is right, geologically speaking, the source of the mountain water, the end of the river valley forest belt, there will be this kind of stone beach, which is full of sand and gravel, the annual rise, most of the sand has been washed away, to dig down, at least a few meters deep, do you have the ability? ”
But looking at the dense waterways in front of me, I don't know where to go.
This stone beach is crisscrossed by ravines, and there are more than a dozen waterways large and small.
Fan Yang roughly counted them, and there were as many as twelve.
In front of the slate beach, there are still a few bends.
He asked, "What should I do?"
Zhao Guangming said: "Let's go ahead and take a look." ”
Zhao Guangming's eyes were also a little confused.
He searched for gold along the river, and it was the first time he had encountered it to the birthplace of the water.
He was still embarrassed to show it, otherwise, it would be ugly to be laughed at by the two apprentices.
After walking through this stone beach, I turned two more bends and advanced for about a kilometer, and the twelve waterways gradually converged and became three.
"It's easy to walk here, there are only three waterways, let's make a mark here, and touch them one by one. ”
Each of the three waterways is four or five meters wide, the leftmost one is turbulent, and the two in the middle and right are obviously much more soothing.
Reduced to three, it's much easier.
The three of them were excited in their hearts.
After so much preparation, it is finally time to reach the final stage.
There are only a few hundred meters left inside, and if you touch it, you will be able to find the legendary golden vein.
I was excited.
"Which one to find first?" Zhao Guangming stopped, but asked Fan Yang.
Fan Yang thought for a while, observed the surrounding terrain, and found that the left hand side is the ridgeline, that is, the location of the Heavenly Burial Temple, the water on the left is turbulent, representing the largest amount of water, and the water flow on the left is likely to flow down from the ridgeline, that is, the extension of the mountain range.
The difficulty should be the greatest.
The middle channel is the largest, the current is not fast or slow, and it is facing the peak.
The three waterways form three V-shaped valleys, and both sides are steep cliffs, and if the water is high, you can only enter it by boat.
But fortunately, the water level is not high now, the precipitation has fallen, and there are river beaches on both sides, and you can walk into them on foot.
As expected, this should be what geography calls a watershed.
There are three rivers at the same time, so the certainty of finding the karst cave is a little greater.
"The one on the right. ”
Zhao Guangming listened, but asked, "Why don't you find the middle one first?"
"No, the water on the right is the least, it should be the easiest to walk, start with the simplest, in case it's not good, you should accumulate experience. ”
