Chapter 267: Ore Vein
readx;
The water was quickly boiling. The rich smell of meat came out www.biquge.info the pen, fun and pavilion, and after a few flatbreads, they washed them in the stream next to them, and extinguished the fire Although tall trees are rare in the Kunlun Mountains, if these bushes are burned, it will be enough to sentence everyone for a few years.
After packing up his things, Zhuang Rui took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was almost six o'clock and then looked at the signal on the mobile phone, but there was no grid, and stuffed the mobile phone back into his trouser pocket, Zhuang Rui asked: "Dazhi, where are we going this time? Why haven't we met anyone all the way?"
The people who traveled with him this time, plus the jade pickers who met at the transfer station, there were enough milk people, and after being shunted into the Kunlun mountains, it was like a stone entering the sea, and even a wave did not turn up, and several people rushed for an afternoon, but did not meet a trace.
Zhang Dazhi stuffed the cleaned steel pot into Mengzi's backpack and replied casually: "Hehe, Brother Zhuang, Kunlun Mountain is big, most people go to the Yulong Luoshi River to dig jade, but there are now using excavators to pick jade, we can't grab it if we go, it's better to go to the Bison Ditch to break through,"
"Bison ditch?"
"Yes, it is the bison ditch, where the white jade, white jade, green jade, the texture is fine, the variety is rich, the size is large, it is a good material, and Hetian jade is basically the same, there are many can even reach the standard of mutton fat white jade, especially its emerald green, soot, gray-purple varieties are extremely rare in Hetian jade
Tiezi on the side took over the conversation, and decided to go to Bison Gou this time, which was also suggested by him, but the terrain of Bison Gou is very complicated, and the sea flail is many meters, and for jade pickers, it is a place full of fatal temptations and unknown crises.
Wang Fei also said with a smile: "The year before last, there was once a Xijiang man who opened a mine in Yeniugou to mine jade, and made a fortune overnight, I am afraid that his current net worth will be hundreds of millions." ”
Wang Fei's words made Tiezi and the others have a light in their eyes, and they didn't want to encounter the ore vein. As long as you get some high-quality jade from the bison ditch, you will be satisfied, the price of the jade prince to buy jade is very fair, every year many people make hundreds of thousands of dollars after entering the mountain, and go back to the mainland to buy a house and get married with the money, which is also the wish of Zhang Dazhi and others.
"Let's go, there are still two days to go to Bison Gully, and we must go around Death Valley today"
A group of five people started on the road again, the evening of Kunlun Mountain is not hot, the slight cool breeze blows on the body is very comfortable, it is a good time to hurry, in the last trace of the sunset on the horizon will reflect the whole mountain full of red light, everyone came to a valley.
"This, this is Death Valley?"
There is no need for prompting, just what you see. Zhuang Rui also knew that it was now time for what they called Death Valley.
With the last glimmer of sunset on the horizon, Zhuang Rui could clearly see that in the valley more than ten meters away from the entrance of the valley, dense weeds were overgrown, and everywhere in the grass, it was covered with wolf fur, bear bones, hunters' steel guns and barren hills and lonely graves. A skeletonless head, with a pair of empty eye holes, as if telling his miserable experience, and the chirping of the goshawk in the sky from time to time all rendered an eerie and terrifying death atmosphere to the world.
"Yes, this place is also known as the "Gate of Hell" of Kunlun Mountain for thousands of years, and I don't know how many bones have been buried inside
Zhang Dazhi's voice was a little low, and looking at the white bones in the valley, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Zhuang, let's go, this place is full of pasture, but the shepherds living in the Kunlun Mountains would rather starve their cattle and sheep to death on the Gobi Desert because they have no fat grass to eat, rather than enter this ancient and silent deep valley,"
When Wang Fei was talking, he grabbed the hand of the gun and added a little strength, as if in this deep valley, there would be a devil who would come out to devour them, just at this time the afterglow of the sunset completely disappeared, and Wang Fei's voice echoed in the valley, empty and far-reaching, making several people feel a little creepy.
"There is no scientific expedition team to conduct scientific research here?"
Zhuang Rui glanced at the valley mouth that was like a monster's big mouth, followed Wang Fei's footsteps, and climbed up from a path next to the valley mouth.
It was already completely dark, and Tiezi, who was the most familiar with the road in the procession, walked at the front, with a miner's lamp on his head and a scimitar in his hand that looked a bit like a sickle, cutting the dead grass and low branches that stood in front of him.
"There was a scientific expedition, but I didn't fully understand why
Leaving that, the Valley of Death, Zhang Dazhi's talk came up, and told Zhuang Rui about what had happened in this valley over the years.
In the eighties of the last century, there was a group of pasture horses because of the gluttony of the grain in the valley and strayed into the valley of death, you know, for the herdsmen, this horse is their lifeblood, a herdsman ventured into the valley to look for horses, after a few days passed, people did not appear, but the herd appeared.
Later, the herdsman's body was found on a hill, his clothes in tatters, his bare feet, his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open, and his shotgun still in his hand. Puzzledly, no injuries or signs of assault were found on his body.
Shortly after the tragedy, the geological team working nearby was also attacked by Death Valley. It was also the month of the month, and it was a scorching heat outside, but a snowstorm suddenly fell near Death Valley. A roar of thunder accompanied by a blizzard suddenly came, and the cook fainted on the spot.
Later, according to the recollection of the cook, when he heard the thunder, he immediately felt numb all over his body, his eyes turned black, and then he lost consciousness
At that time, the geological team quickly organized to investigate the valley, and found that the magnetic anomaly in the area was extremely obvious, and the distribution range was very wide, the deeper into the valley, the higher the magnetic anomaly, under the action of the electromagnetic effect, the charge in the clouds and the magnetic field of the valley led to the discharge of the electric charge, making it a minefield, and the thunder often took the running animals as the object of attack.
This speculation is the best explanation for several events that occurred in succession.
However, what is the reason for the extremely high magnetic field value here, the geological team has not reached a clear conclusion, and after these few events. The nearby herdsmen no longer dared to take a step closer to the Valley of Death, but fortunately there were no Uighurs in the team today, otherwise they would not have dared to take a detour from the edge of the Valley of Death.
After listening to Zhang Dazhi's speech, Zhuang Rui subconsciously glanced back at it, and he couldn't see his mouth anymore. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and it is estimated that it is the reason why there are few people in the crowd, and he wants to Dongjie... Gu, I'm afraid it will be as famous as those places in Bermuda.
A few people took advantage of the night, until they climbed two mountains before stopping, this is a full thirty or forty miles from the valley of death, it is also a large canyon, Tiezi is very familiar with this place, with the miner's lamp on his head, directly near the rock wall, find a very hidden cave.
"Brother Tiezi, you have such a good memory, we seem to have walked here the year before last, and you still remember. ”
Zhang Dazhi picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the cave, he was afraid that there would be some animals hiding inside, you know, in the Kunlun Mountains, wild wolves and brown bears are very common, and there will be incidents of herdsmen being attacked every year.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound in the cave, and a few people walked in, the cave was not deep, only ten meters away, covered with dust, and a few people rushed down all the way, they were already exhausted, and they didn't bother to care whether it was dirty or not, so they sat down directly in a slightly damp place. "Brother Zhuang, let's camp in the mountains, and someone will be on duty at night, so you will be the first in line, call me at o'clock, Mengzi is the third, Wang Fei is the fourth, Brother Tiezi is more hard, I won't arrange for you to be on duty today." ”
After Mengzi sat down, he opened his backpack, took out five folded sleeping bags from it, and handed them to everyone one by one, and Zhang Dazhi began to allocate everyone's night time.
arranged Zhuang Rui to be the first to "actually take care of him, and he can sleep until dawn until 2 o'clock." It's much better than getting up in the middle of the night for two or three hours and then going to sleep, and the iron is in charge of opening the way. The physical exertion is relatively large, so Zhang Dazhi did not arrange him.
Everyone had no objection to Zhang Dazhi's arrangement, Wang Fei roughly explained to Zhuang Rui how to use the shotgun in his hand, and then got into the sleeping bag. A little more time to rest, so that tomorrow can be more energetic.
Fortunately, apart from a few wolf howls in the distance, nothing happened this night, and it was passed peacefully.
The next day, the sky net is polished, everyone has begun to go on the road, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Kunlun Mountain is relatively large, the cool morning is the most comfortable, and when it is hot at noon, you can rest for a while.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the third day, "a group of five people rushed to the bison ditch, where it was already at an altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level, although everyone's face showed an excited look, but Zhang Dazhi still found a place, let everyone rest for half a day, and then go to the bottom of the ditch to find jade in the afternoon."
"Poison!"
Just as a few people sat down, there was a sudden explosion in the distance, Zhuang Rui felt that the ground under his buttocks was shaking, and he quickly stood up and looked in the direction where the explosion came.
"Brother Zhuang, don't look at it, it's a jade mine from Xijiang, and they have been mining it for more than a year. ”
Zhang Dazhi has long been accustomed to such a situation, in the Kunlun Mountains, as long as there is a jade mine, the sound of explosions can be heard almost all day long.
It's just that on the faces of several people, there are envious looks, for them, as long as they can find jade veins, even if they don't have money to mine, they can make a lot of money by selling the news.
However, this vein is usually hidden deep underground, and without the tools to detect it, it is impossible for them to find it.
The bison ditch has been deep into the Kunlun Mountains, because there are a large number of bison herds and get the name, of course, that refers to decades ago, now it is difficult to see the traces of bison, although it is called the ditch here, in fact, the depth is more than 20 kilometers, the grass is fat, very suitable for animal survival.
On both sides of the bison ditch, there are snow-capped mountains on the top of the mountain that do not melt all the year round, but every summer, after the snow melts in the middle of the mountainside, it will rush into the bison ditch with mountain rocks.
The destination of Tiezi and others is this river, because the altitude here has reached more than 4,000 meters, and it is difficult for large machinery to transport in, and it is difficult for people with poor physical fitness to mine jade here.
However, there are also many people who have been staring here, not long after Zhuang Rui and they arrived at Bison Gou, a three-person team met with them, although they didn't know each other, everyone still said hello.
Since the jade by the river is washed down from the mountain, at the entrance of the river at the foot of the mountain, there will be a little more relatively good jade, Zhuang Rui They arrived first, so those people consciously walked downstream,
When everyone was resting, Tiezi told Zhuang Rui about his skills in jade mining over the years, but Zhuang Rui found that this jade mining has similarities with gambling stones, that is, if you want to pick good jade, it is largely due to luck.
At the beginning of this year, a big boss from Wenzhou hired dozens of excavators and a large number of manpower to dig up a section of the seven or eight kilometers long river that was intercepted by the Yulong Luoshi River.
The use of modern machinery to find jade is a major development in recent years. The bulldozer pushed aside the soil and stones in the river, and the migrant workers who waited for them to rush up and rummage through the jade in the soil with iron inlays.
However, after more than a month and tens of millions of dollars, a lot of jade was mined, but they were all ordinary jade materials. Unable to offset his huge expenses, the merchant had no choice but to end the jade mining operation and end up at a loss.
It's just that the Wenzhou businessman was unwilling, and ran to the mining site after finishing the work, but saw a local Uyghur migrant worker, who stood up after smoking, kicked a stone under his feet very casually, but picked up a fist-sized jade material from the bottom, and after identification, it was a high-grade mutton fat jade, worth tens of millions, which made the Wenzhou businessman almost vomit blood and left Xinjiang overnight.
This truth is the same as spending tens of millions of dollars to gamble on a piece of shit jade, it is not enough to have money, but also to have luck, it is obvious that the luck of the Wenzhou businessman is not very good.
After resting for more than three hours, Zhuang Rui and others also began to pick jade, Mengzi took out four flat baskets folded together from the backpack, which was woven with very tough silk threads, and the folding place was made of alloy steel, and the back strap was sewn, and it could be carried on the body after unfolding, and the jade mined was thrown inside.
Several people carried such a basket and walked towards the somewhat dazzling river that was illuminated by the sun, and the faces of Zhang Yazhi and the others were all full of winged looks. A good piece of jade has the potential to change their lives.
The so-called jade mining is to find jade among the tens of millions of large and small stones on both sides of this river, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big wave to wash the sand. In ancient China, jade mining was to draw large nets on both sides of the river to sift jade from it, but sometimes at the end of the day, there was no jade material to be found.
After thousands of years of snow and water washing, the large and small stones on both sides of the river have become very smooth, everyone simply took off their shoes, and walked barefoot on the hot goose warm stone that was exposed to the sun, and the sound of gurgling water came from the ears, but it also had a charm.
It's located deep in the mountains. However, for thousands of years, there have been tens of thousands of adult jade miners who have come here, and it is not so easy to pick up jade materials from the river.
Zhuang Rui originally wanted to try to distinguish the stones by the river, but within three or five minutes, the goose warm stones densely spread all over the river made Zhuang Rui dizzy.
On the surface, it is impossible to tell what is different between these stones, whether it is the large shape or color, they are almost identical, if you do not bend down to look closely, it is difficult to identify, maybe you look at a piece of the net, turn your head and look again, you will not find the stone that the net is looking at.
Looking up at Tiezi and them, Zhuang Rui found that almost all of these people were squatting on the ground, moving forward step by step, even a tall man as Mengzi, Zhuang Rui tried to squat on the ground like them for a while, but before ten minutes, the soreness in his waist and legs made him unbearable, so he could only stand up.
Zhuang Rui is now standing on the river with the trekking poles sent by Tian Bo, which is a little abrupt.
"Dazhi, do you think the Jade Lord will lie to us? This person is standing there picking jade in a big way, can he recognize it?" Tiezi and Zhang Dazhi were talking in a low voice not far away, not that he didn't believe Tian Bo's words, but Zhuang Rui's performance was really unreliable.
"Don't talk nonsense, when has the Jade Lord seen it, Brother Zhuang is not familiar with jade mining, but he can distinguish jade, and it saves us from bringing some garbage back." ”
Dazhi took Zhuang Rui and the old man back from the airport, knowing that the Jade Lord valued them, he naturally looked down on Zhuang Rui, coupled with the Jade Prince's explanation, he took good care of Zhuang Rui along the way. Zhuang Rui was thirty or forty meters away from them, so naturally he couldn't hear the conversation of Dazhi and the others, and he was now using the aura in his eyes, like hoeing the ground with a plowshare, sifting forward little by little.
Due to the bright light during the day, and nearly half of these stones are in the water, reflecting dazzling light everywhere, Zhuang Rui also encountered problems with the first time using aura, and saw the color in the stones several times, but after grabbing them with a trekking pole, he found that it was just the reflection of the sun.
"Yes, I picked up a piece of jade, Brother Tiezi, come and help me take a look
Just when Zhuang Rui had a headache, the fierce man behind him shouted, Zhuang Rui looked back, this kid threw himself into the river, his clothes were all soaked, holding a stone in both hands, and he was climbing up the river.
June is the time when the ice on the snow-capped mountains is gradually melting, although this river channel is not very wide, but the current is particularly fast, even if the fierce son is holding a big stone, his body is still washed in the river seven or eight meters downstream, just rushed to Zhuang Rui not far away.
Zhuang Rui saw that Mengzi was still holding the stone in his arms, and he couldn't climb to the shore with his hands empty, so he hurriedly said: "Mengzi, why did you fall into the water, throw the stone away, you climb up quickly." ”
Mengzi didn't reply, it was very difficult to stand up straight in the water, and he threw the stone on the river with both hands, which happened to fall at Zhuang Rui's feet, and then he reached out and grabbed the trekking pole that Zhuang Rui stretched out and climbed to the shore.
Zhuang Rui even pulled the fierce son up, although the weather is in June, but due to the high altitude, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and at night, the temperature will drop to about ten degrees. Although Mengzi is very strong, he may not get sick.
"Mengzi, take off your clothes and put them on the ground, go and change into dry clothes."
Zhang Dazhi, Tiezi and Wang Fei also ran over when they heard the sound, and when they saw Mengzi's wet appearance, Zhang Dazhi frowned, if this big man was sick, no one would be able to carry him.
"It's okay, Brother Tiezi, hurry up and take a look, this stone is jade, right?"
The fierce man grinned, didn't take it seriously, and pulled the iron to the stone he threw at him.
"Mengzi, go change your clothes first, I'll take your time" Tiezi glared at Mengzi, he was an old jade picker, and he knew that if he was sick in the mountains, he would be very troublesome if he lacked medical treatment.
"Okay, I'll go for it. ”
The fierce man stripped off his clothes in three or two strokes, threw them on the stones by the river, and then ran to the place where he put his backpack with his bare buttocks, took out his clothes and put them on, and ran back impatiently.
This stone is flat, with a basin and a thickness of about twenty or thirty centimeters, and the whole stone is pale yellow, slightly whitish in color, and it is a piece of sugar-covered mountain water.
Tiezi tried to hold it, it is estimated that it weighs forty or fifty catties, and it is difficult for Mengzi to throw it ashore, on the side of the stone, a large piece of milky white jade flesh is exposed, it can be concluded that this is a piece of jade, and the quality is not low.
"Brother Tiezi, how is it?" The fierce son, who usually looks a little wooden, will blush with excitement.
"This piece of material, let Mr. Zhuang take a look at it first, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
When Tiezi saw this piece of jade, he had already guessed that it was not far from ten, and he was very happy in his heart, after all, this harvest was everyone's, but he also wanted to try Zhuang Rui. Is it really expected, or is it a vain name.
Zhuang Rui asked casually: "Mengzi, how did you find this piece of material?"
This piece of jade material is at Zhuang Rui's feet, he didn't push it, squatted down and looked at it, judging from the exposed jade meat, this is a piece of white jade material, and the quality is not low, just this palm-sized jade and meat can be sold for forty or fifty thousand yuan.
