Chapter 1000 Jade Mining (Medium)
……
The next day is still the earliest of Liu Dongqi, and now getting up at five o'clock every morning to practice meditation has become a deep-rooted habit of his life, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that it is instinctive, and he can't change it in this life!
After finishing the exercises, he took a Jade Toad Heart Protector Pill and fed it to Xiao Jinzi, "Go ahead, find food by yourself!"
"Chirp ......!"
Quickly pecked the pill in Liu Dong's hand, and then tilted his head and swallowed it, lowered his head and rubbed Liu Dong's cheek affectionately, accompanied by a cheerful long roar, the wingspan had reached 2 meters of small gold lightning soared into the sky, and then quickly came to the sky 100 meters above Liu Dong's head, circled around Liu Dong, and disappeared into the distance!
Seeing this, Liu Dong sighed lightly, looked at the few holes in his clothes on his right shoulder, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. In the past, Wang Qiang and Lin Ling bought him a lot of clothes, and even Liu Dong bought some himself, which were basically stored in the mustard seed space, but less than one-tenth of what he could wear on his body.
But since he raised a little gold, he has been able to change his clothes diligently!
"Poor me, I haven't bought this coat for a week!"
"Xiaodong, I heard Xiao Jinzi call just now, what's the situation?" At this time, Yang Shang had already dressed and walked out.
"Oh. It's going to find food on its own!"
After suddenly nodding. Yang Shang said again: "Then let's also prepare some breakfast." Eat early, finish early, work early!"
"Yes!"
After nodding, Liu Dong strode to the bonfire, re-lit the extinguished bonfire, and then poured half full of the water that had been called last night but was not used up!
After boiling for more than ten minutes, after the water boiled, Liu Dong put all the mutton he brought this time into the pot. I put some star anise, spices, ginger and the like, and cooked a pot of mutton soup!
Mutton is warm, although it is not very suitable for eating in the morning, but the next jade picking is definitely not an easy job, and eating more is also powerful.
By the time Yang Shang and Qiu Yuan got up and washed up, Liu Dong's mutton soup had already been cooked.
Then, a few people were not polite, two bowls of mutton soup per person, and a flatbread after eating. I began to hold the steel and iron cables that I took out of the hole yesterday and walked towards the river two hundred meters away!
Liu Dong didn't know what to do next. So I can only follow Adili's baton.
However, as soon as he walked on the river, Liu Dong found a piece of jade from the soft goose stone next to him, the jade was wrapped with a layer of stone skin, the edges and corners had been smoothed, but there were obvious directional water lines on the surface, which was obviously a typical piece of jade material with mountains and rivers.
Moreover, the jade inside is also exposed in the gap in the abdomen, which is not big, and it is estimated that it is similar to the difference between an adult fist, but the quality of the jade is not too good, and it is only the level of third-level white jade.
"Xiaodong, don't waste time on such materials, each of us is a donkey, and it's really not worth it to go back with such jade materials over the mountains and mountains!"
And Liu Dong also thinks that this sentence is indeed right, trekking through mountains and rivers, it can even be said that he risked his life to come here, if he just brought a few pieces of jade back that can only earn thousands, or even tens of thousands of profits, then why take such a big risk, just buy it directly in Hetian!
However, Liu Dong is different from Yang Shang, they don't want this kind of jade, because the amount they can bring back is limited, and they want to use the limited space to hold those jade that can make greater profits!
But Liu Dong himself has a mustard seed space, although in the tomb of King Kangju, Liu Dong spent a lot of relics to restore the antique treasures in it, so that the radius of the mustard seed space from more than 1,000 meters before, and now more than 900 meters, but even so, there is no problem with loading hundreds of tons of Hetian jade.
Therefore, Liu Dong did not let go of the jade in his hand, but lightly and covertly put it into the mustard seed space.
Yang Shang and the others didn't notice Liu Dong's movements!
Of course, this is also because Liu Dong did not take advantage of the relationship between the relics and Yuanguang to collect the surrounding jade raw materials on a large scale!
The group walked down the river for about 500 meters to the valley at the outlet of the Heihe River Basin, where the river was relatively narrow and flanked by huge boulders piled up after repeated flash floods!
"Alright, this is it!"
After Adili finished speaking, he untied the steel cable from the donkey's back.
By the time everyone had untied the ten bundles of steel cables and placed them on the riverbank, Adili began to undress himself!
"What are you going to do Uncle Adili, are you going to swim over?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"Well, we have to tie the wire rope to the opposite rock, so there must be a person swimming to the opposite side, Adili has the best water among us, and he is a native of Khotan and is the most suitable for the climate here!
Liu Dong understands that the temperature of this river formed by the melting water of ice and snow is extremely low, and it is not the hottest noon, but morning! Generally, people who are not particularly strong are not in good health, and it is definitely not an easy task to swim across this river with a width of only 15 meters!
However, as the youngest of the eight and the person with the best physical strength, it was impossible for Liu Dong to watch the other party swim in this glacier. It's not because of how close his relationship with Adili is, but because of his responsibilities and obligations as a member of a group of eight!
No matter what you do, if you only think about making money from others and don't think about what you give, you will only make yourself have fewer and fewer friends around you.
"Uncle Adili, I'll do this down the river, I'm the youngest of all the races here!" Liu Dong strode to the front of the road.
"You?" Although there were doubts, Liu Dong clearly saw a hint of relief in the other party's eyes!
"Xiaodong, you better stay here, don't look at this river water, it's not frozen, but the temperature is close to zero, if you haven't touched it before, it's easy to freeze!" Adili advised.
"It's okay, Uncle Adili, this temperature of the river is nothing!" After speaking, Liu Dong didn't wait for Adili, and even Yang Shang next to him persuaded him again, and directly carried the wire rope on the ground to his shoulder, and then jumped into the water with a 'poof'!
"Hey, come back quickly, Xiaodong, don't you take the wire rope over ......!" Yang Shang's anxious voice did not make Liu Dong turn back, because when his words fell, Liu Dong had already reached the center of the river, and in less than half a minute, Liu Dong had already arrived on the other side of the river!
"This kid is really unambiguous......!"
"Haha, I like this kid's stubborn temper, he's a gentleman!"
In the eyes of ordinary people, Liu Dong may have been a little reckless, but judging from his own behavior, it also reflects a person's character.
Although the matter is not too big, the more inconspicuous the little things are, the more they can reflect that this person is not to be crossed!
Obviously, in the eyes of Adili, Qiu Yuan, and Lao Shi, Liu Dong, a young generation, can be trusted. If he was initially absorbed into this team because Yang Shang and Qiu Yuan strongly recommended him, then now Liu Dong has really won the trust and acceptance of Adili with his actions!
"Stinky boy, take your bag up, change your wet clothes quickly, be careful not to catch a cold!"
After laughing and scolding, Adili threw his backpack over vigorously!
This time, only he who originally planned to cross the river brought a change of clothes with him, and everyone else stayed in the camp, and Liu Dong was naturally the same.
However, Liu Dong has mustard seed space, but he can't open it in front of people. And even if he has been practicing martial arts all year round, he doesn't feel this low temperature at all, but he still has to let himself behave normally in front of people.
It's hard to make friends!
After throwing down the wire rope on his back, Liu Dong quickly picked up Adili's backpack, and then hid behind a huge stone next to him!
And Adili, these middle-aged and forty-year-old men in their thirties and forties, pointed at him without any scruples and laughed.
"This stinky boy still knows how to be shy!" Qiu Yuan.
"Young, who was not thin-skinned when they were young, do you think everyone is like you, peeping into the women's toilet when they were in middle school?"
"Don't talk about me, you're not the same, the female classmate in the class at that time was not harassed by you!"
The two are fellow villagers, and they came to Hotan from their hometown together, and they are also very familiar with each other's past, so it is really ruthless to expose their shortcomings, and of course it is harmless!
"Okay, stop arguing, Xiaodong is out!"
Adili's words fell, and at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the other side, Liu Dong, who was wearing a slightly shabby sheepskin jacket, black cotton pants on his legs, and brown cowhide boots on his feet.
Looking at the seven people on the opposite side who couldn't help laughing, Liu Dong looked at his dress and smiled a little bitterly, if he tied a rope around his waist now, except for the age gap, he would be exactly the same as the shepherd he met on the way!
But compared with the change in dress, what made Liu Dong even more bitter was that he really carried this steel cable in vain, because according to Adili's instructions, this steel cable was to be tied to both sides of the river, and now it was carried here by himself, and he had to trouble pulling it back again.
