The small mountain village in April is still cold in spring.

In the early morning, the misty valley was hazy.

In the quiet village, there is only one or two dogs barking occasionally from the farmer's house, and it is so quiet that there is hardly any noise.

In a large three-storey rural villa.

Ye Mu turned on the electric light and took out a 'metal magic box' from the drawer. It is square, black metal, which looks like it is finely cut by modern machinery, with a smooth and non-reflective surface, and there are several weird lines on one side......

This is what Ye Mu picked up last year, and he has kept it until now, and he takes it out from time to time to study it.

The origin of the metal magic box is not ordinary, nor is it found in ordinary places, it was dug up in the gold mines of the Lampath area of the Yukon River basin in Alaska, USA. Ye Mu is a gold prospector in Alaska, with several partners, who lease gold mining areas and dig gold mines. The metal box was dug out from under the permafrost, and at that time, I kept an eye on it and secretly hid it. As long as it's okay, I take it out and study it, but so far, I haven't researched anything famous.

"Do you want to drip blood to confess the Lord?" Ye Mu's mind came up with a ridiculous thought, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.

Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, it was past 8 o'clock, I turned over and got up, and put the metal box into the luggage I was about to take away, and at the same time, the sound of a car horn came from downstairs.

"Ye Mu, Zhang Kun is here. Father shouted downstairs.

In April, Alaska's snow and ice begin to melt season. Ye Mu, who is a gold digger, is also ready to go......

Ye Mu went downstairs with his luggage, and his father and mother looked at him: "Dad, Mom." How many times have I said that there is no danger in gold panning, you can rest assured, just a matter of a few months. ”

"There is no danger in what you say...... The most unsafe place in the United States is Alaska. ”

Ye Mu's mother looked like she was about to cry, Ye Mu stepped forward and hugged her mother: "Why don't you come over and have a look in the summer." It's not bad over there, it's all game. We'll call you when we're settled in this time......"

"Hmm. Mother Ye Mu hugged him hard, not wanting him to go. The mother of the child is worried, and this will not stop for thousands of miles: "You have been out for several months, go to BJ to see your sister before leaving." ”

"Okay. ”

Letting go of his mother, Ye Mu hugged his father.

I have been abroad for a long time, and I hug it at every turn.

"Dad, hurry up and get your driver's license, fly straight to Canada in the summer, and take your mother to Alaska to play. ”

"Good, good. You go over there, stay safe, watch your body. ”

"Don't worry. A few years ago, I was alone over there, but this year Zhang Kun is with me, absolutely safe. Zhang Kun is still a special soldier who has retired, and he is leveraged. ”

The dark-skinned Zhang Kun looked at Ye Mu and them, gave a military salute in a fake manner, and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will protect the safety of the wood." ”

"Dizzy, it's like going to war. That's it, let's go...... Ye Mu said goodbye to his parents, got into Zhang Kun's Changan SUV, and set off.

Zhang Kun is Ye Mu's high school classmate and comrade-in-arms.

The two went to the army without graduating from high school, and they were lucky to be assigned to a unit. The two didn't know each other well when they were in high school, and they became buddies in the army, and they have been in touch all these years and have a good relationship.

In the car, Zhang Kun handed Ye Mu a cigarette: "Listen to my uncle and aunt, is it dangerous to dig gold?"

"The year before last, one of my partners took a gold mine to the company to sell, and on the way back, someone robbed it. Ye Mu lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "People are also killed." ”

"How often does this happen?" Zhang Kun gambled his entire net worth to follow Ye Mu to make a fortune, but he didn't say anything about it.

"I encountered that once in the seven years of digging for gold. The robbers were a gang of thugs from the town, and now they're all in jail. That's a long story...... It's too late for you to quit now. ”

"Quitting now, don't you think...... You know my situation, this time I don't have the face to come back without mixing people like dogs. ”

Ye Mu chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "I told you about the general situation of gold digging." If you are lucky, a team earns tens of millions a year, and if you are unlucky, you will lose money in a month to work for others to live, and even go into debt. ”

"I see you're doing well, and I can trust you. Even if I don't get home, I will never complain, it's a big deal that you can help me find a job. Just in Alaska, fishing and crab fishing......" Zhang Kun smiled and said.

"Gold digging is the equivalent of gambling, and it's more exciting than in Las Vegas. Some people make a lot of money, and some people go bankrupt. I also have a time when I lose all my capital......" The cigarette in Ye Mu's hand burned to the butt of the cigarette, took the last puff, and threw it away: "Simply, last year's luck was good, and I made a bumper harvest." ”

Ye Mu went to the United States at the age of 19, and now he is 28 years old, and he has been digging for gold in Alaska for 7 years, so he can be regarded as falling into this pit. I didn't want to take Zhang Kun with me, but this guy was hard-hearted......

After being discharged from the army, Zhang Kun worked in a factory and had a girlfriend, I heard that he was going to get married, but his girlfriend didn't know how to hook up with a rich second generation, and was caught in bed by Zhang Kun. Very bloody plot......

Among Zhang Kun's friends, Ye Mu mixed well, bought two houses in the city, and built a big villa in his hometown. Ye Mu's gold panning in Alaska is not a secret, Zhang Kun was stimulated a lot, so he wanted to play a hand and find Ye Mu.

Because of last year's incident, several of Ye Mu's gold mining partners broke up when the snow season came last year, and they went back to their respective homes with a lot of money earned from gold mining.

Ye Mu also made money, with bank deposits of more than 100,000 yuan and 200,000 US dollars, but he enjoyed his long-term life as a gold digger. If you don't dig for gold, you don't know what to do when you return home. Going to Alaska to pan for gold again, Ye Mu is ready to go it alone and needs help.

To the outskirts of the city, Zhang Kun drove the car into a second-hand car dealership, and the Chang'an Yidong, which ran less than 30,000 kilometers, was directly sold for less than 30,000 yuan. Then the two took a taxi to the airport......

Ye Mu flew to the capital BJ, and Zhang Kun flew to Changsha.

Changsha has a direct flight to Alaska, and the day after tomorrow is a plane.

Every year when he travels to Alaska, Ye Mu is nervous, and this year is no exception. It's a gamble to go, and it's either a loss to the end, or a lot of money. This seems to be the mentality of the vast majority of gold diggers, if you only make a small amount of money, it is better not to go. This year is finally going to go it alone, if you can find a gold vein like last year, 1 ton of ore and 6 grams of gold, after doing it this year, you can retire next year.

I got off the plane and passed through the security check smoothly. The security machine, as before, did not find any metal magic boxes in the suitcase......

"Brother. Outside the passage, a slim beauty, Ye Mu's sister, Ye Xiao, ran over and hugged him, and hung on his body with his legs, like a big sloth.

"Ouch hey. Ye Mu raised his head and knocked on her head: "My old waist." ”

Ye Xiao jumped down and pursed his lips at him: "Didn't you say that you won't go abroad in the future during the Chinese New Year, and open an Internet café in your hometown." I'm ready to quit my job and come back to you. ”

"Go out for another year and come back after making a lot of money. Ye Mu habitually rubbed Ye Xiao's hair and said with a smile: "Mom asked me to come and see you." Life in BJ is okay?"

"It's a beautiful day. By the way, the stupid and cute girl I said I introduced to you during the New Year, now we share an apartment, do you want to go over and have a look. Ye Xiao grabbed Ye Mu's arm and held up his luggage with the other hand.

"I like pretty girls. The cute girl doesn't like ......," Ye Mu said seriously.

"Hey, you're energetic, aren't you, people still don't look down on you. ”
