Chapter 3: Treasure Hunting

The three of them stopped, Wei Xingguo and Chen Zhong faintly sandwiched Fang Mingyuan in the middle, and then turned around. The person who spoke was none other than Manager He Sanhe.

"You're also going to the county seat of Chixian, right? I think your jeep is good, leave a driver, take the four of us away, you two can take our car." He San has always said as a matter of course. His car was not well sealed, and he didn't know how much dust could come in downwind while driving, and several people were thinking about finding another car last night, originally wanting to get up in the morning and find a place to call and ask the county to send a car out to pick them up, but when he saw Fang Mingyuan's jeep, He San immediately had an idea.

Fang Mingyuan and the three of them couldn't help but be puzzled, shouldn't this lord's head be caught by something, such a ridiculous thing can also be said so confidently, everyone is not acquaintances, weishenme wants to give you a car? And they also saw He San's car, which was already a thick layer of sand, and it was no longer visible.

"I said a few of you, did you hear it!" He San said impatiently, "Don't toast and don't eat and drink, tell you, this is Chixian, it's a dragon, you have to give it to He Ye, it's a tiger, you have to give He Ye a stomach!"

"Neurotic!" Fang Mingyuan jumped into the car and muttered. It's really unpleasant to encounter this kind of thing in the morning. This He San's style originally made him look unpleasant, if he begged with kind words, then maybe he could agree, such a virtue like an uncle, naturally he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Fang Mingyuan was like this, Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo naturally didn't give him a good face, looked at him coldly, and got into the car from the left and right. In front of He San, who was stunned, he turned on the wipers, swept away the dust from the front glass window, and then drove away.

"***! dare to take Lao Tzu's words seriously!" He San didn't react until the car drove away, and the other party didn't pay attention to him at all, and couldn't help jumping at the door and scolding.

"What's wrong?" his companions rushed out.

"It's not those three bastards just now, Lao Tzu saw that their car was good, and wanted to borrow their car to go to the county, but those three people actually took my words as a deaf ear!" He San scolded angrily, "I didn't even let out a fart, just drove away!"

"Have you seen their license plates clearly? As long as it is a car from Chixian, it will be round and square at that time, and it will not be up to you to always knead and knead?"

"Nonsense! Such a big dust, if I can see the license plate, what am I still angry about here?" He San said angrily, "I remember those three people, don't let me bump into them again, they cry dad and call mom when they bump into the ground, I don't have the surname He!"

They were scolding here, and Fang Mingyuan and his party naturally didn't know. Since the field of vision was much wider than yesterday, the speed of the jeep was raised, and the dust on the body slowly blew off, revealing its original appearance.

"Xingguo, don't drive too fast, this road is full of sand, and the wheels are easy to slip!" Chen Zhong reminded. There is Fang Mingyuan in this car, and there can be no accidents.

"Know, safety first!" Wei Xingguo said excitedly, he had been aggrieved all night in the roadside shop last night, and he had nothing to do, which made his whole person feel a little rusty.

Fang Mingyuan reclined on the back seat, looking at the fields outside the car through the gray window. Everywhere you look, there is a feeling of yellow sand.

"How can there be such a big sandstorm? hehe, it's almost worth a storm in the desert. Fortunately, it's still winter, if it's spring, the crops in this field will be miserable!" Chen Zhong also noticed the scene outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, this is not far from the capital, how can there be such a big dust. Wei Xingguo also said with palpitations, "When those bastards came in yesterday, I glanced outside, and the visibility was probably only ten meters, which means that we just found a store, otherwise, I'm afraid we would just have to nest in the car and wait for the dust to pass." "Sleeping in the car all night, smelling the air with a strong earthy smell, the taste can be imagined.

"The trees have been cut down, the grass has been eaten up, the land is seriously desertified, the bare ground, and when the wind blows, it is natural that the sand and dust are flying all over the sky. Fang Mingyuan said in a deep voice. In his previous life, in the 90s of the capital, there would be several sandstorms covering the whole city every year, which made him remember it deeply, and later the country built the three-north shelterbelt, and it was not until 2,000 years later that this situation gradually eased. However, judging from the situation across the country, sandstorms are more than intense.

Hearing that Fang Mingyuan's mood was not high, Wei Xingguo and Chen Zhong secretly exchanged a look and didn't say much.

The car soon arrived at the county seat of Chixian, and Fang Mingyuan and they stopped in the county seat for a while, bought a large amount of fresh water, loaded it into the car, and continued north.

"Fang Shao, where are we going?" Wei Xingguo, who had changed drivers with Chen Zhong in the county seat, couldn't help but ask Fang Mingyuan, who was holding a map in the back seat of the car and looking at it over and over again.

"Treasure Hunting!" Fang Mingyuan said without raising his head.

"Treasure hunting?" This time, not only Wei Xingguo, but even Chen Zhong was interested. Men, which one would not be interested in treasure hunting adventures.

"Well, I saw it in a diary that I don't know where it came from, and there seems to be a gold mine here. "When he got here, Fang Mingyuan naturally didn't have to hide anything, anyway, looking for a job in the later stage would be indispensable for the two of them.

"Gold mine!" With the exclamations of Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo, the car shook on the road.

When the car returned to stability, Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo's faces both showed unbelievable expressions. Though they did not know any of Shakespeare's great works, they did not know his words: 'Gold, yellow, glowing, precious gold!' A little bit alone can turn the black into white, the ugly into beautiful, the wrong into right, the humble into precious, the old into a young man, and the coward into a warrior." quotes. But also know the place of gold in human society. However, gold mining has been accompanied by blood and violence since ancient times. There are only three of them, isn't it too dangerous to rush over so recklessly? And with Fang Mingyuan's current net worth and the speed at which he makes profits, why bother to wade into this muddy water?

Fang Mingyuan saw the concerns of the two of them, put away the map in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one should have found out there yet, let's go this time, maybe we will have to suffer some hardships on the way, but don't worry about other dangers." "He had been there, and although it was said that as early as 2003 or 4, there was news that someone had found ko's head gold, but it was not until the year of his death that the location of the gold mine was determined. It's only ninety years now, and there's no way anyone there will find out. It's just that he came more than ten years in advance, and the terrain must be very different from that time, and he is afraid that he will have to spend some effort to find a way into the mountain. I don't know if there is a road into the mountain now.

Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo put their minds at ease, both of them were born in the military, if they were just looking for mines in this mountain, they were not afraid of anything, but they were carrying a full set of wilderness survival supplies behind the car, and for the sake of safety, Chen Zhong also brought two self-made steel crossbows.

Because neither Chen Zhong nor Wei Xingguo could hold a gun, and sometimes, it was too inconvenient to have a gun on his body, so Chen Zhong secretly built two crossbows, which were usually disassembled into parts and packed in two boxes, and when needed, as long as there was a three-minute time, he could assemble them.

"If that's the case, well, let's see if we can find a place to buy a shotgun before we go into the mountain, then we can be more sure. Chen Zhong groaned for a moment. At this time, although the country has repeatedly banned guns, people like those living in this mountain range still have a lot of hunting rifles, although they are not as good as firearms in the army, but it is not a problem to shoot wild animals.

"What Brother Chen said is that if there is a shotgun, as long as you don't encounter a pack of wolves, even the tiger and leopard are coming, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Wei Xingguo slapped his hands and said. After leaving the army for all these years, he has long had itchy hands when it comes to guns.

Fang Mingyuan thought about it for a long time, when he went there in his previous life, he didn't seem to hear from the locals that there were any ferocious animals there. However, at that time, the road had already passed through the entire mountain, and even some large wild animals had already been scared away by the road construction army. Now that there are still barren mountains and mountains, it is also appropriate to be cautious. It's a pity that they are looking for gold mines, otherwise it would be more reassuring to hire a few locals as guides. "Okay, just Brother Chen, when we get to the local area, let's find the locals, or buy or borrow a few shotguns, I have also been addicted to guns. "Men, there are a few people who don't love guns.

"Great!" Wei Xingguo exclaimed excitedly.

"Fang Shao...... There is a saying...... I have to warn you. Chen Zhong said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, I understand what you mean, gold mines cannot be mined privately. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said. Chen Zhong is a loyal and meticulous person, and there is no problem in being his own person, but he takes it very seriously on the issue of right and wrong. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into the county supply and marketing cooperatives as a small leader of the team. Otherwise, with his skills, he will go to the southeast coastal area to serve as a bodyguard for those bosses, and it is not fun to fight for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

"Then ......" Chen Zhong was even more confused, since Fang Mingyuan knew that gold mines could not be mined privately, what was he doing here? Just to pick up some dog-headed gold or gold sand and go back? He wrote two more scripts at home, wouldn't he fight for more than this?

Fang Mingyuan smiled, he wants to pay tribute to this gold mine, as the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, and he contributes a gold mine to the country, although it is said that there are only tons of reserves, it is also a large amount, isn't it? What will he do next, don't these bigwigs in the capital also have to look at the face of this gold mine, and turn a blind eye to themselves? When the time comes, Su Huandong wants to protect himself, is he also famous. However, this is not suitable for him to explain to Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo.

Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo saw that he didn't seem to mean anything, so they didn't ask any more.

The car quickly left the main road under Fang Mingyuan's guidance and turned onto a dirt road leading to the mountains.

The condition of the dirt road is extremely poor, it is said to be a road, in fact, it is a non-grade road that is stepped out by people walking too much, but it is a non-grade road for two cars to walk in parallel, fortunately, when the three of them came here, Fang Mingyuan had already thought of this, so he specially asked someone to borrow a jeep, if it was a car, they could not drive two hundred meters on this road. But even so, the car still shook like a boat.

"Damn, this ...... It's also called the road!" Wei Xingguo has been following Fang Mingyuan for two years, and he has also been contaminated with a lot of Fang Mingyuan's mantras.

"Fang Shao, sit tight!" Chen Zhong said uneasily. The car is jolting up and down too much, and if you are not careful, your head may come into close contact with the roof of the car. Now Fang Mingyuan's most precious thing can be said to be this brain, if he bumps into something, the Fang family will not scold him to death. Fang Mingyuan had already changed from sitting to half-lying, supporting the chair in front of him with his hands to stabilize his body. The jeep drove slower and slower, and Zuihou had almost fallen to a speed that was not much faster than an ox cart.

"What do the officials here do to eat, and the road is not repaired this time!" Wei Xingguo cursed in a low voice. This broken road is not seen in Pingchuan County. If it weren't for the fact that the three of them didn't get motion sickness, otherwise, they would have vomited a lot. I don't know how the people who live here go to the county seat? This is actually the county seat around the capital.

"Hmph, look at Mr. He's style in the morning, your question is purely in vain. Chen Zhong said angrily. Driving on this kind of road, the driver must be highly concentrated, drive a mile, and the energy expended can be equivalent to driving thirty or forty miles on a normal road. He still had to take care of Fang Mingyuan's endurance, so naturally he had already scolded the officials here in his heart.

"Brother Chen, do you want to change?" Wei Xingguo said hesitantly. His driving jishu is also good, but it depends on who he compares to.

"Not for the time being, but look at this style, if it's like this all the way, you will definitely have to change people!" Chen Zhong shook his head and said, "Fang Shao, let's not go the wrong way, it's too sinful to run on this wrong road!"

"It's not, it is estimated that when we come out, we will have to find land in the county to rebuild this car, otherwise, we will not be able to lie down on the way back to the capital. Wei Xingguo said with a bitter face. He is a car lover, although he said that this jeep was borrowed, he still felt distressed to see such a waste.

Fang Mingyuan also had the heart to ask someone for directions, but the slanted door was that he didn't see a single passerby along the way. But it's understandable to think about it, now in the countryside, this year is not over yet, and yesterday was such a big sandstorm, and here is such a broken road situation, there is no urgency, who will choose this time, to run out.

They drove until it was close to noon, and even Chen Zhong felt that the bone frame was a little divergent, and finally a village flashed in front of them......
