"The mine is not close to the town, you should need a guide, and you can't go to the mine empty-handed, right? The woman introduced herself.

Only then did Xiao Peng see this woman clearly, uh, the first feeling was, the figure is really good! When he came to Australia, this was the best woman he had ever seen! Her height was at least one meter eight!

BUT SHE WAS DRESSED TOO LOW, WEARING A DIRTY OVERALLS, AND HER BLONDE HAIR WAS TIED TOGETHER CASUALLY, WITH A LAYER OF DIRT ON IT, AS IF SHE HAD JUST CRAWLED OUT OF THE MOUND. As for her age, Xiao Peng is incompetent, and I really can't tell her age.

Just as Caucasians cannot distinguish the age of a white person, it is also difficult for a yellow person to distinguish the age of a white person.

Don't you see that many yellow women are in their forties and fifties and are very popular in foreign countries? Just like Chinese men who go abroad, many of them choose to return to China. After Chinese women go abroad, many choose to stay. The reason is simple, in foreign countries, women are much easier to mix than men. Because the aesthetics and age discrimination of those foreigners are very different from those of Chinese. SOME 'CALL GIRLS' HAVE BEEN IN THEIR TWENTIES UNTIL THEIR FORTIES, AND THEY ARE STILL DOING WELL。。。。。。 (I understand this word by myself)

In the same way, Chinese look at foreigners in the same way, looking extremely old, but only in their teens, looking extremely young, but already in their forties。。。。。。 So Xiao Peng couldn't tell her age at all, she looked quite young, but this gray face looked like she was not young.

Before Xiao Peng could answer her question, a Toyota pickup truck drove over, and a middle-aged strong man walked down, and at first glance he knew that it was Opal absenteeism: "Broom star! What are you going to do to insult our town?"

The woman glared at the middle-aged man: "Daniel Carroll, you perverted pig!

The middle-aged strong man didn't mind: "Don't say I didn't remind you, it's time to pay taxes soon, and you haven't paid your land tax, debt tax, and personal tax, right?" I said, "Why don't you sell it?" How about I give you the right price?"

"Mr. Carroll, remember what I said, even if I die, I will not transfer the mine to you!" the woman said angrily.

The middle-aged strong man laughed: "Then you won't stay long, God is just, and now is the punishment for you! You are the shame of our town! Hey, those two yellow people, I give you a friendly advice, never have anything to do with this woman, this is the unified view of our town, don't think I lie to you, you can go to the town bar to inquire, who still has dealings with the Carter family? This is the shame of our town." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, pointed at the woman with a sudden realization expression, and said, "You are Jessica Carter?"

Daniel Carroll listened to Xiao Peng's words and laughed: "It seems that someone has already warned you, okay, then you don't need me to warn you again." Trust me, everyone at Coober Pedy will give you the same advice!"

After hearing this, Jessica Carter pointed at Daniel Carroll: "You are ruthless!" After speaking, he got into a broken car that felt older than Xiao Peng's age, and turned to leave.

Daniel Carroll shrugged and drove away as well. Leaving Xiao Peng and the others looking at each other.

Yang Meng asked, "Brother, what did this girl do that is so angry and resentful, how do you feel that the people in this town are eager to kill her and then kill her quickly?"

Xiao Peng was speechless: "You ask me, who do I ask? How do I know what happened?"

Yang Meng thought for a while: "I think, there is a place that I can inquire about, and the place that Daniel said just now seems to be very good." ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right, the town bar! Let's go have a drink or two and see how the wine is here." ”

When the two found the bar, it was exactly noon, and this Australian bar also inherited the characteristics of their ancestors ------ the British, the kind that eats and drinks. Maybe because it's not a weekend, there are no other customers here except for the two of them, and the two of them directly solved the lunch problem here.

It is said that this Australian is also very British in eating, that is called a full of creativity, such as the dessert they eat, what is it called an apple sandwich: fried apple slices with butter and brown sugar, fried and then boiled with cider, apple cider boiled? I really don't know what this foreigner is thinking in his head. Then use two slices of cake and eat it.

Is this still a way to eat?

The main course is a quesadilla with prosciutto, but unfortunately there is too much cheese in it. If there weren't so much cheese, Xiao Peng could have commented that it was delicious, but now the taste can only be said to be just so so: who can stand it if there is half a catty of cheese in a soft cake?

After eating and drinking, Xiao Peng chatted with the boss. The boss was a local woman of about fifty years old, and from her mouth, Xiao Peng knew the story of Jessica Carter, no wonder the whole town was so hostile to her, there was a reason.

The Carter family is the first inhabitant here. Carter Sr.'s wife passed away not long after giving birth to Jessie Carter, Jessica Carter was raised by her sister, and fortunately the sisters were thirteen years apart, otherwise they might not be able to take care of her. Her sister is Andre Carter, whom Xiao Peng saw serving a prison sentence.

Old Carter was afraid of falling in his hands for Jesse, and he was afraid of turning into that kind of doting in his mouth, and watched Jessica grow up day by day, becoming more and more beautiful.

By the age of sixteen, Jessica Carter had become a beautiful woman, and she was not willing to waste her life in this remote mining village, and happened to see on TV that a TV show was being held: the Australian Supermodel Competition.

This TV is very influential and well-known in Australia, and Jesse was moved to participate in the competition at that time. and mailed his own photos and materials to the program team. Unexpectedly, the program team really invited Jesse to an interview to see if he could pass the preliminary round.

But the race was held in Sydney, a thousand miles away from Coober Pedy, and there was no route between the two places, so you had to drive there. Let's not talk about this long journey, let's talk about how much it costs, right?

Carter's family has a small Opal mining area, but this digging Opal is definitely a hard job, sometimes digging dozens or even hundreds of cubic meters of soil and rock, but there is no gain.

There are two main ways to dig Opal: mechanical or manual. Well, like the use of electric drills or something excavation methods, is considered manual excavation, the so-called mechanical excavation, that is the use of large construction machinery, the two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, manual mining is easier to find a more complete Opal, but the production efficiency is low, the use of mechanical excavation efficiency is greatly improved, but there is economic value of precious pieces of Opal rough is very easy to be destroyed.

Although Carter's family has a large Opal mine, they rarely use mechanical mining, and the reason is simple: poverty.

These major mining areas in Australia are far away from towns, so water and power outages are the basic conditions, large mining areas such as gold mines, iron mines, etc. will have their own large-scale generating units, waterworks, etc., and even the railways, highways and ports are self-built.

But that's not the case with the Opal mine.

Although Australia claims to be one of the world's 20 major industrial countries, the conditions in this Opal mining area are not much better than in more than 100 years, at best, there are more heavy vehicles such as excavators. There is no grid connection at all, and the main source of power for the equipment is diesel or gasoline, or converted into electricity through small generators, which consumes a staggering amount of daily and works in a harsh environment.

Carter's house is more of a temporary absenteeism who comes here to try their luck. Be a guide to the mining area that provides work for absenteeism. His family's mine is large enough, but there is only one Caldwell excavator for temporary absenteeism to dig shafts. Although the income is not high, the cost is not high, but it can also ensure that the family of three has no worries about food and clothing. But the extra money, that's really gone.

Old Carter and Andre are extremely doting on Jesse, in their eyes, Jesse's life is Jesse's mother in exchange for her life, now Jesse has a chance to get ahead, they have to find a way to support, they don't want Jesse to spend his life in this mining area, so they want to support Jesse to compete, but this requires a sum of money, after all, the high consumption in Sydney is not comparable to Couberpatty. The father and daughter broke their hearts in order to make money.

At this time, his family received a temporary absentee who came to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he was very lucky, and he actually dug up a piece of thumb-sized opal. As connoisseurs, Carter and Andre can see at a glance that this piece of Opal can be sold for more than 100,000 Australian dollars!

When the two of them saw the opal, they were moved. Especially when I saw Jesse frowning there every day. Old Carter gritted his teeth and simply worked with Andre to create a mining disaster. Kill that temporary absenteeism in the mine.

Old Carter pretended that it was all an accident, and while calling the police to recover the body, he asked Andre to sell the piece of Opal, so that she could take Jesse to Sydney to compete.

It's not uncommon to see people die in mines like this, but it's not uncommon, so people don't think it's that weird.

But as the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. When the family members who were temporarily absent from work were sorting out his belongings, they found his mobile phone, which contained a photo of Opal, but did not find this Opal in his belongings! His family felt that something was wrong and called the police directly.

The Australian police were very concerned about such a life-threatening matter, and they found that this piece of Opal appeared on the market, and the person who shot this piece of Opal was Andre Carter.

After the investigation, the two murderers, Carter Sr. and Andre Carter, were arrested, Carter Sr. had a heart attack, and Andre was imprisoned. Jesse, who was participating in a modeling contest in Sydney, was also affected and was removed from the competition list.

Jesse, who knew the truth of the matter, wanted to cry without tears, but she didn't hate her father and sister, after all, they did it for her, and because they fulfilled their wishes, the family was completely ruined.

The impact of this incident was quite large, and it had a bad impact on the entire Coober Pedy, and for a long time, it was almost impossible to see the temporary absenteeism from other places, which was considered to have completely smeared Coober Pedy and affected the income of all families. Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing your parents, and it's no wonder that people in the small town are angry when they mention Jessie Carter.

Since then, Jesse has also gone from a good model to a complete absenteeism, and she wants to keep the mining area left by her father, which is the only wealth left by his father.

However, in addition to the high risk, the efficiency of this manual mining of opal is also low. Jesse can support it for four years, which is really not easy. Looking at this posture now, it is completely unsupportable.
