Chapter 152: Onyx Lake (Five Watches, Ask for Subscription)
The meadow in the distance is a sparkling reflective spot that doesn't look like a meadow but a giant lake
"There's a huge lake in front of us, and I think there must be people living there, and maybe we won't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight, and if we can find Mongolian friends, I'm sure they'll receive us to eat roasted whole sheep and drink mare's milk wine in the yurt." ”
Xiao Lingfeng yearns for a wonderful picture in his mind, but he hasn't found any lights or anything like that yet, maybe because the sky has not completely darkened, and when it is dark at night, a little spark will appear.
"Do we still want to continue walking towards that big lake" Duan Xuerong stroked the green silk that was messy by the wind, "The night on the grassland is already cold, the closer you get to the lake, the lower the temperature, right?"
Indeed, the temperature of the grassland at night will drop to about 2 degrees, and the closer to the lake, the more humid the lake water will be, and the cold of the grassland at night will become wet and cold
Now the location where Xiao Lingfeng and the others are standing is basically grassland, which has completely detached itself from the dense forest, that is to say, there is not a large amount of firewood here for them to burn and heat, and there is not even cow dung or anything like that around.
Sometimes, the plan determines the next situation, and if you rush forward this time, it is likely that the front will be barren, and it may take a long time to return to the woods again.
The long journey is a great pressure on the body and mentality, and if you encounter a little sudden bad weather or something, it may really make people collapse, so all plans for survival in the wilderness must be fully prepared.
"Let's keep going, I have a hunch that there must be Mongolians living there!" Xiao Lingfeng took a deep breath, "I can smell the smell of sheep dung in the wind, which means that there must be a large sheepfold ahead." ”
"In special periods, Mongolians will drive sheep into the sheepfold, let the sheep excrete in it, and when the sheep step on the excrement, people will use knives to cut the sheep dung into bricks, these sheep dung bricks are all treasures after drying, one can be built into a wall to resist the cold wind, and can be burned for warmth. ”
Duan Xuerong raised her eyebrows, "Do you make bricks out of sheep dung?"
Xiao Lingfeng shook his head helplessly, "Maybe there are many people in the live broadcast room who can't imagine the behavior of using sheep dung to make bricks, especially girls, but what I want to say is that this is the case, there is basically no big smell after sheep dung is dried, and the Mongolians who live in the grassland do not have much wood to use as firewood, so they can only use livestock dung." ”
"The Mongols claim to be a people on horseback, and they can ride horses to cut down trees in the forest, and these trees are brought back to dry as firewood, which is better than sheep dung. ”
"If the Mongolians do this, it is estimated that it will seriously damage the ecology, after all, the area of the grassland is much larger than the forest, and if the Mongolians have been using trees as firewood, I believe that it will not take a few generations to exhaust the forest resources." ”
"Actually, I think the Mongols are very great, they have been living in the steppes, most of the resources are still quite rich, they do not consume resources for the sake of profit, but consume appropriately, waiting for regeneration, this is an endless cycle. ”
"Brother Feng is so powerful, just smell the air and know what's ahead. ”
"Brother Feng's zodiac is a dog, the identification is complete!"
After walking for a long time, I came to a huge lake, there was no light here, and the smell of sheep dung was clearer, even Duan Xuerong smelled it, it seemed to be on the opposite side of the lake, but it had to go a long way to get there.
"Pick up, you see that the little stones here are so beautiful!" Ling Ling squatted down and picked up a smooth and bright stone, "It's red inside, and it feels very smooth~!"
"What is this?" Duan Xuerong took the small stone and studied it carefully, "This is an agate stone!"
"Look, there are small rocks over here, and there are a lot of them in the water!" Little Lori picked up a few agate stones from the water again.
"I'll go, don't bring this, the agate is sprinkled on the ground and no one picks it up?"
"It is said that there is a lake that is famous in Mongolia and is rich in all kinds of agate stones, and the name is forgotten. ”
"Brother Feng, pick up some more agate stones, bring them back and share them with everyone, I'll give you the money." ”
"Agate isn't really valuable"
Xiao Lingfeng said, "This may be the Mongolian Agate Lake, before the Agate Lake was discovered, when people looked down from the plane, it was actually the water shining, the smoke was surrounded by clouds, picturesque, everyone thought it was a lake, and there was agate stone here, and the name of the Agate Lake also rose." “
Agate Lake is silently hidden in the depths of the grassland of Urad Houqi in Bayannur City, rich in agate stone and Gobi stone, wind stone, jasper, petrified wood, yellow wax stone and various gem-quality mineral crystals, it is really the hometown of strange stones.
The variety of strange rocks here is due to the eruption of the volcano, as a famous scholar said: "The stars are changing, the valleys are cracked and the peaks are collapsing, and the sea is crossing, and the peaks are towering." The clouds and steam are moist, and the mountains and rivers are transformed into shapes; The one who is strange is the thing that the universe has conceived.
In fact, Agate Lake is not the kind of water-colored sky light that people imagine, a vast expanse of blue, fishing boats and sails, and a vast lake, but a volcanic crater in ancient times, and then gradually turned into a Gobi desert with a radius of 60 miles, which is what it is now.
Such a rich resource of strange stones, will inevitably be the attention of the world, especially those collectors and strange stone lovers, is haunted by dreams, will want to experience a visit, since the strange stone and then fast.
In the early eighties of the twentieth century, an old man named Zhang Jing, after a long journey of hardships and long distances, walked into the Gobi Desert in the depths of the Urad steppe, discovered the Agate Lake, and also found those colorful, different, delicate stone and unique strange stones created by nature.
Hard work pays off. Perhaps it was his feat that touched the heavens, and Agate Lake also warmly and sincerely opened its broad mind, received this persistent elder, and let him get rich rewards and gifts here: a ninety-two-gram small agate stone named "Chicken Shell", its shape, quality, and color are extremely peculiar, unparalleled in the world, and breathtaking. Later, after the appraisal of relevant experts, the sky-high price of 130 million yuan was given, which also created the highest price of Chinese stone appreciation.
Xiao Lingfeng and the others searched the river beach for less than a few minutes, and they were holding a large handful of agate stones in their hands, these small stones were not very big, the size of a fingernail, and the size was about the same as grapes.
