Chapter 456: Gold Diggers

When he left Wang Bakeng, the fat man was full of joy, he had hundreds of soft-shelled turtle eggs in his wooden box, and he also dug a large pond, and then directly moved a large pond outside into it, specifically to keep the breeding of soft-shelled turtles.

In the wooden box, the soft-shelled turtle does not need to hibernate, and the growth rate will definitely speed up a lot. Not for anything else, just for the sake of being able to eat a soft-shelled turtle from time to time in the future to satisfy your cravings, it is worth the fat man's hands.

After the cloth shirt was washed, it had been dried, and the fat man wore two large cloth shirts, humming an inexplicable minor tune all the way, and returned to the goose factory for lunch.

There are two tables for a meal, and the freshly cooked bud rice ballast, after being fished out, is thrown several times with cold water, and then the soup with water is snoring and pulled into the mouth. In the summer, eating this is the most enjoyable.

Bud rice, rice and salted duck eggs, these two are enough. However, Li Liuye still stewed two pots of beans, and sure enough, it was the same as the fat man imagined, bubbling in oil, and there were pieces of bacon in it, which was just enough to satisfy his cravings.

In this era, except in winter, it is not easy to eat pork at all, so bacon is a rare delicacy in summer.

The fat man put out a plate of beef jerky and a plate of milk tofu, and when he came back from the grassland, the fat man did not scratch these things.

A group of big men, some wearing vests, some bare-chested, pulling while eating, don't have to care about anything. The fat man finally gave everyone an evaluation: If there is a lady who presses the village, you will all catch up with the king of the mountain.

Putting down his rice bowl, the fat man said that he was going to take a bath, and then he walked out alone, along a small river, all the way to the east. The river is full of washed sand, with the occasional few large rocks, and there are many pebbles on the riverside, lying quietly on the riverbed, letting the clear water flow by.

The sand is soft when you step on it, and when you look back, there is a series of crooked footprints, and within a few tens of meters on both sides of the bank, there is this fine sand, and you think that this river has flowed for many centuries.

Some tenacious grasses are also slowly expanding their territory to this side, so you can occasionally see a new green plant on the beach, but the number is too small to become a climate.

"The evening breeze blows lightly in Penghu Bay, and the white waves chase the beach-" The fat man hummed softly in his mouth, pondering in his heart: In a few days, it is also a good choice to take the time to lead Xiaoyu and Qiqi to wander around, pick pebbles, take a bath in the water, rest and play on the beach, and relax for a day.

The riverbed twists and turns, the fat man is not in a hurry, slowly strolling, there are two otters on the bank, seeing the fat man, immediately twist the round and bulging body, clumsily burrow into the water, in the water is their world, and when they come up again, they are already in the middle of the river three or four feet away, staring at the fat man with small eyes.

The fat man grinned a few times, and did not disturb their peace, and continued to wander forward. There are also occasional soft-shelled turtles on the beach, but there are not many of them, and they burrow back into the water far away. The river here is a little fast, which is not so suitable for them.

There were also horses and snakes, burrowing in the grass and water, and there were also many waterfowl foraging by the river, and wherever the fat man spoke, he startled a shoal of gulls and herons. The whole beach is calm but full of life.

After walking five or six miles, the fat man suddenly saw two small things on the sand in front of him, and he was digging vigorously in the sand.

When I got closer, it turned out to be two thorn balls, one large and one small, and there were a few soft-shelled turtle eggs in the sand pit in front of them, as well as some broken eggshells.

"Hedgehog!" the fat man muttered, the two thorn balls in front of him were two hedgehogs, one big and one small, probably the two of them, who came to steal soft-shelled turtle eggs from this partnership.

The big one is two circles bigger than the fat man's fist, estimated to weigh two or three pounds, and the small one is as big as Qiqi's fist, and the thorns on his body are relatively short, and they don't look very hard.

Both little ones were wrapped in hard thorns, even the little tail and the long nose, but the fat man still felt two pairs of small round eyes peeking at him.

"It's all food, why are you here to steal soft-shelled turtle eggs!" The fat man decided to move the two guys to avoid destroying the soft-shelled turtle eggs, but in the face of these two thorn balls, it really felt like there was nowhere to start.

Seeing that the little hedgehog should be easier to deal with, the fat man stretched out his foot and pulled it down with the sole of his shoe to see if he could catch it. The fat man was wearing a pair of cloth shoes with plastic soles, and he didn't wear baby socks, so he was also careful.

But at this moment, the big hedgehog suddenly moved, and rushed towards the fat man's feet and neck very quickly. Fortunately, the fat man's reaction speed was fast enough, and he quickly retracted his feet, which avoided the danger of being stabbed.

"It's really a thorn!" Scratching the back of his head, a shovel appeared in the fat man's hand, shoveling both hedgehogs on it: "Hehe, look at what other tricks you have this time!"

But you can't always walk with a shovel, the fat man decides, or put the hedgehog in for the time being, and then release the two captives when he finds a suitable place, for example, in his own garden.

Although the hedgehog sometimes steals some fruit or something, it is mainly carnivorous food, such as some insects or something, and even rats and snakes dare not provoke them.

Playing in the clear river, the fat man saw that the pebbles inside were colorful, round and lovely, so he picked a few pieces and brought them back to play with them.

This choice is also addictive, and there are more and more good-looking, especially there are some transparent agate stones inside, the color is slightly yellow, crystal clear, and it looks very gratifying.

So the fat man's pockets gradually bulged, and a few of them were round, which could be used as glass balls.

It wasn't until the two pockets were full that the fat man straightened his waist, jumped twice, and there was a loud bang in his pocket: "This is not gold, what are you doing with so much." ”

There was another crystal bright spot under the water in front of him, and the fat man imagined a strange scene in his mind where they were competing for stones, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, but he couldn't help but take a few steps forward and bend down to pick up.

The shiny little stone was so far away that the fat man threw his shoe and went barefoot into the water. The river water actually felt a little hot for my feet, and when I soaked in the water, I couldn't help but have an urge to take a bath.

Bent down and pinched the stone, it was only the size of a melon seed, yellow and heavy, and it looked very attractive.

"What kind of stone is this, it's really heavy. The fat man weighed it with his hand a few times, and suddenly his palm shook, and the stone fell into the water again, sank into the sand, and disappeared.

"It looks like sand gold!" the fat man looked at the place where the stone fell, there was a small pit at first, and then it was quickly smoothed out by the current, and there was no trace in sight.

The fat man once heard the car boss say that before liberation, there was a special kind of person called a gold digger, who panned for gold by the river in the deep mountains and old forests. Use a gold pan to sift away the sediment little by little, and if there is gold in the sand, it will settle under the sieve.

Because the chemical properties of gold are stable, generally do not react with other substances, so it exists in the sand and gravel in a free state, under the natural weathering, the rock is broken, and finally forms sand and soil, and the granular golden sand is buried in it, under the washing and carrying of flowing water, the sediment, gold particles and water move together.

And because of the different speed and state of movement, a certain area of the riverbed can form a rich area of golden sand, which is the gold panning land that people are eager to find.

When the car boss was young, he also worked for a few days to make a living in gold panning, and after liberation, the gold panning dream came to an end. According to him, if you are lucky, you can really pick up large and small gold sand directly in the water.

There are also gold diggers on the Nanwazi side, but they don't have much gain, so it has not become a golden valley.

The fat man unfolded the search function, quickly determined the location of the stone just now, fished it out again, held it in the palm of his hand, and cleaned it with river water.

Now he was able to conclude that this was a small piece of gold, and the purity should be very high, and it was estimated that it would be no problem to make it directly into a gold ring.

After the test of the last gold bar incident, the fat man has formed enough immunity to gold, so although he is also happy, he is not ecstatic, and his mind still remains calm.

Throwing the gold in his hand up and down, the fat man found a stone on the shore, and then looked at the gold in his hand in a daze: Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The fat man has read a lot of information about this on the Internet before, after all, everyone is interested in gold, and they all have their own gold panning dreams in their hearts.

Many of them were originally picturesque places, and many of them were the most pristine environments, because of the influx of a large number of gold diggers, excavators, sand dredging boats, and the roar of machines, the ground turned upside down. When the gold diggers were gone, all that was left was devastation.

The fat man raised his eyes to look at the peaceful and harmonious scenery around him, then shook his head and muttered, "I won't tell anyone about this." ”

It's not that the fat man has a big appetite and wants to swallow it alone, in front of the yellow and clear gold, most people will be crazy about it, for example, the fat man has been "crazy" once.

If the news spreads, no matter how much or little gold is here, there will definitely be trouble. In case someone comes to pan for gold in the name of sand mining and so on, this place will be wasted.

Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on the fat man's face, and then he held up the small piece of gold in front of him: "It seems that there is still a little less to give Xiaoyu a gold ring." ”

Standing up, the fat man continued to search. Although he had decided to keep this place a secret, the fat man felt that it was still necessary to explore the gold reserves here. If it was just him who took shit luck and picked up one, it would be even better, and he would save himself from worry.

The fat man's search function is still very powerful, and if he goes deep into the sand for one meter, he can also cover a square circle, and then move forward, which is about the same speed as the fat man's normal travel.

After walking more than 100 meters, the fat man stopped again, took out a shovel and dug it on the beach, and after digging more than two feet deep, a piece of gold that was larger than the one just now was pinched by the fat man in his hand.

After filling the bunker again, the fat man reminded himself loudly: "Enough, no more digging - dead fatty, you still want to be insatiable!"

Finally, the fat man suppressed the thoughts that were about to move in his heart, and then ran wildly, running five or six miles in one breath, and then lying on the beach on all fours, his heart was completely relaxed.
