The Venetian River in Los Angeles.

·······

There is a lot of garbage floating in the river, and the silt at the bottom of the river makes the river extremely black.

Dirty conditions are the last thing to attract tourists' attention, and tourism is one of the pillars of Los Angeles' industry, and the government will not let that continue.

。。。。。。

A man wrapped in clothes made of rubber all over his body, 1.85 meters tall, his strong and wriggling muscles can be seen through his clothes in every physical activity, his brows are furrowed, his eyes are shining with determination, and his exposed yellow skin shines in the sun, which can be seen that this is a strong Asian.

Standing at the bow of the boat, he is using a large spoon with a long handle to bring the silt at the bottom of the river and the garbage on the river surface to the boat one by one.

This person is Chenhai. An orphan.

When he was still in infancy, he was found at the gate of the orphanage in D City, SD Province, and the old dean saw that his eyes were dark and shiny, and from time to time a trace of light flashed, like a sea of stars, so he gave him the name of Chenhai.

Later, with the status of a particularly poor student, he completed primary and junior high school one after another, and dropped out of school without a scholarship in the first year of high school.

Then he went to the coal mine and worked as a coal miner for two years. The legendary black coal kiln is also the place with the highest mortality rate among coal miners in China, with poor equipment and black-hearted bosses, allowing workers to take pitiful wages, do double their work, and always face the danger of mining disasters, this phenomenon is very common in S Province.

Then Chen Hai joined the army again, served as a soldier for four years, and later after being discharged from the army, because he had no technology, no education, no strength, and no hope of work, he came here.

·······

Coming to Los Angeles from China across the ocean, the city with the largest number of Chinese... On the edge, becoming a glorious river dredger with a salary of $10,000 a month means that Chenhai needs to pay high-intensity physical strength and the ability to endure stenchs that ordinary people do not have.

At the moment of the scorching sun, Chen Hai needs to cover himself tightly, one is to be stunned, and the other is to prevent being bitten by the insects that inhabit this river, maybe which insect will carry a deadly toxin, Chen Hai doesn't want to die under the mouth of a small insect, and the disgusting leech, this river is their paradise, one by one incredibly fat.

It stands to reason that silt has been a very common farmhouse fertilizer in China since ancient times, and Chenhai can get rich with this thing, but the garbage discharged into this river is the garbage of some chemical plants, which also leads to the fact that these silt is completely toxic, and it is polluted to put it in the farmland, so that now the government can only hire workers to clean up the river, because people can't stand such a bad working environment, the government has to raise salaries, and now Chenhai is the lucky one with high technology.

Another spoonful of mud was scooped up, snapped, and thrown into the cabin, Chen Hai swept it in, "It's still a spoonful full, damn, no matter how thick the clothes are, they can't smell like this." "When he first started drying, Chen Hai only used a mask, and soon his stinky eyes were dizzy, and then he wore thicker clothes, and slowly found that the smell could only adapt to it, but until now Chen Hai has not adapted to it.

The last spoon, when Chen Hai raised the water, he obviously felt that the spoon was much heavier than before, Chen Hai held the big spoon and swayed around, trying to keep it close to the side of the boat.

The spoon slammed into the side of the ship, and a dark solid rolled out, apparently soaked in the mud for a long time, wrapped in thick black mud, and rolled on the ship a few times before falling into the cabin.

Tatsumi hurriedly scooped it up with his rubber-gloved hands. Fiddling with it a few times in his hand, a piece of silt was rubbed away, revealing a dazzling gold, although it was only a piece the size of a fingernail, but the shining golden light still showed its extraordinary, Chen Hai was shocked, and hurriedly held the baby with one hand, and scooped up the river water with the other hand to wash off the thick silt on it.

Gradually, the original appearance of this dark solid appeared, bursting out with dazzling golden light, Chen Hai was sure that this was a treasure, and quickly took off his clothes and wrapped it and hid it in the cabin, then turned on the engine, turned around, and sailed towards the dock in the distance.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the six o'clock time for the successor arrived, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he picked up the package and walked under the tree in the distance.

Find a place under the tree that won't be easily spotted, dig a pit and hide the package. Wait until the evening to take it out, after all, it's still daytime, if Chen Hai goes back now, people will inevitably suspect him when they see him holding a package in his arms earlier than normal, maybe someone will think that he got a treasure and have a bad heart. Avoid everything that can be avoided, which is what Chenhai wants.

After making a mark, Chen Hai returned to the side of the boat, sat on the dock, and lit a low-quality cigarette, which can be bought for two dollars in the United States, and is very popular with workers like them who work a lot, and it is a good thing to resist odor, especially in this ditch.

Thinking about it: look at the appearance of this is a Buddha statue, but you are not sure which Buddha it is, the key is that it is very likely to be a gilded Buddha statue. Chen Hai has watched a show to identify antiques before, and the gilded Buddha statues on it are basically more than one million, provided that they are genuine.

Thinking of this, Chen Hai was excited, looked at his watch, it was already six o'clock, and a figure in the distance walked slowly towards this, that was Liu Yuanzhi, who took over, more than thirty, more than ten years older than Chen Hai in his twenties, this job was introduced to Chen Hai, Liu Yuanzhi came five years earlier than Chen Hai, has rich experience, and often takes care of Chen Hai in his daily life, in Liu Yuanzhi's words: Hey, they are all villagers, let's not help more, how can we Chinese live.

So every time Chen Hai saw him, he would respectfully call him Uncle Liu.

Seeing Uncle Liu coming, Chen Hai pinched out the cigarette butt, stood up, and handed over a cigarette: "Uncle Liu, come so early!" Uncle Liu waved his hand, "It's not early, it's not early, you go back quickly, don't you have to go to work in the restaurant at night." "Okay, then I'll go, you can work more leisurely, if you really can't do it, you can rest and do it again" "Okay, okay, let's go, stinky boy!" Uncle Liu scolded with a smile. Chen Hai stopped being verbose and got up and left.

Tatsumi doesn't plan to go to the restaurant tonight, and studies the Buddha statue he just got at home. But he didn't go to get things immediately, it was still dusk and he could see the figure, he planned to come back at night when it was dark and couldn't see clearly, and continue to walk along the road where Uncle Liu came.

It gets dark very quickly, and after a while, the sun is completely gone, and in this remote place, you can really say that you don't see five fingers when it's dark. Chen Hai turned around and walked back, and not far away, he saw Uncle Liu working.

The government was in a hurry to clear the dredging, and even hired people to do it at night and offered higher wages, and Uncle Liu only came when he saw the ridiculously high salary, and he didn't care if it would be dangerous.

Tatsumi burrowed into the darkness, found the package in the place where it had been marked, and then hurried to the small house he rented. Worried along the way, although it was night, but when he walked to the block, it was still quite lively, Chen Hai found a remote path and entered the house.
