After a long time, the convoy stopped in a small town, which was Changhua. ,!

"To the Grand Canyon?" At this time, An Huanqing got out of the car in a daze, curiously looked at the surrounding environment, but found that there seemed to be no special scenery here.

Wang Guan smiled: "No, we are in Changhua now." ”

"Changhua? What are we doing here? An Huanqing was a little surprised.

"Look at the gems." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Changhua Bloodstone, you should have heard of it." ”

"Bloodstone ......"

An Huanqing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "That kind of red stone? ”

"Almost, almost."

Wang Guan chuckled and said: "Changhua is one of the four traditional Chinese chapter stones, and the rare variety of bloodstone is a rare treasure. The main production areas of bloodstone in the world are only two places in Lin'an Changhua and Inner Mongolia Chifeng. And due to long-term exploitation, the stock has become extremely scarce. So let's come and see now, if you don't want to, you can continue to go to Qingliang Peak to see the scenery. ”

"Well, Xiao Wang is right." At the same time, Uncle Song walked over and said with a rough smile: "The environment of the place we are going to in a while is relatively bad, and it is all wind, sand and dust. You two delicate little girls, it's best to stay, or take a detour directly to Qingliang Peak and Taihu Lake. ”

"Xiaoqing, Mr. Song is right." At this time, An Shengxian also walked over and said with a chuckle: "It can be described as a poor mountain and bad water over there, full of devastation, you two should not follow." ”

While speaking, An Shengxian beckoned: "Xiao Yan, ask someone to send them to the Grand Canyon in western Zhejiang." ”

"Yes, boss." Yan Mo nodded, and he was going to arrange this.

"No, we're going to check it out too."

Sometimes, people will always have a rebellious mentality, and others are not allowed to do things for themselves, so they just have to try it. An Huanqing is the same now. Originally, I wasn't interested in any bloodstone, but when I heard everyone say this, I had to follow to see what was going on. Then, she naturally pulled on Baye Ye and said coquettishly: "Xiaoye, let's go and have a look." Good no good. ”

"Where are you going?"

Bayeux was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, ask clearly before making a decision.

"Chang fossil mining area."

Wang Guan explained: "It's mud and sand again, and it's stone, and the environment is definitely not good." ”

"Then we'll just wear face masks." An Huanqing smiled and said, "Go and have a look, if you can't stand it, turn back immediately." ”

"That's fine." Baye nodded lightly and smiled, "Then let's go together." ”

"Hehe, the little girl doesn't listen to the old man, don't blame the uncle for not reminding you when she suffers." Uncle Song laughed and laughed, his beard shaking. and added a bit of "ferocity" to himself.

"I'm not afraid." An Huanqing stuck out her tongue and grimaced. In fact, after discovering that Uncle Song was fierce on the surface, but very kind in his heart, he talked to him the most about An Huanqing.

After some laughter, everyone took a break. I continued to get in the car and left. After a while, the car left the town and entered the country road, and it began to feel a strong bump. Fortunately, the bumpy time was not long, and after about ten minutes, the vehicle stopped in a small mountain village.

"Wow. It's so desolate. ”

When everyone got out of the car, An Huanqing looked at it and couldn't help but marvel.

Wang Guan felt the same way, although it had been expected. But when I actually came here, I saw hundreds of ravines crisscrossing the village, and dozens of hillsides formed by the accumulation of stones and dirt on the ground. From a distance, it looks like a giant spider's web.

"Since the nineties, after the value of bloodstone has increased by a hundredfold, the number of people who go to the mine every day to dig stones has exceeded 3,000 at the most, and nearly 100 caves of all sizes have been excavated."

Uncle Song stood on a slope and said, "Each mine cave is six or seven hundred meters deep, and the shallow one is more than 100 meters. Almost all the nearby hills have been hollowed out. ”

After sighing, Uncle Song turned around and said, "Xiaoqing, have you seen it clearly, you can consider turning back now." Because for the next part of the journey, the car can't drive in, and you need to walk for about half an hour to get there. During the period, he crossed the mountains and mountains, and he was really not joking. ”

"That's right." An Shengxian nodded and said, "The road below is not easy to walk, you go back first." Otherwise, just wait in the village and don't go with you. ”

At this time, An Huanqing hesitated and whispered, "Xiaoye, what do you think?" ”

"Either you didn't come just now, and now you don't give up halfway. So let me say, then keep walking, it should make you suffer a little and have a longer memory. Baye chuckled and pinched her little face as if reproached,

"Hmph, underestimate my ......"

An Huanqing said arrogantly: "Then continue to go, see who can't stand it first." ”

Seeing that the two still wanted to follow, the others didn't persuade much. After all, it's just a matter of exploring, collecting some basic soil ingredients or something. With so many people traveling together, it is more than enough to take care of two people.

As they spoke, the group walked out of the village and headed towards the hill that had been almost bulldozed. Along the way, everyone saw the same situation, very desolate, with almost no green vegetation visible.

In addition, on some hills, some miners can be seen coming and going, but only to remove the dirt.

"In recent years, after the purchase of air compressors, air drills and other mechanical equipment, efficient development has accelerated the depletion of bloodstone resources." Uncle Song sighed: "I heard an old friend who has been digging for 20 years say that in the mine that is currently being mined, there are very few stones that see blood. A little light blood, it's already a very rare treasure. ”

"Well, that's why the provincial government reopened the pit." An Shengxian smiled: "Otherwise, not only the economic recession of the provincial capital, but also the nearby villagers should be unemployed." ”

When Uncle Song heard this, he smiled contemptuously and didn't say anything. After all, An Shengxian's words also have some truth, and the stones on this mountain are already a source of income for the nearby villagers. It was with the stones that they built their home at the foot of the mountain. If all the resources are really exhausted, I am afraid that a large number of people will be unemployed.

How to settle these people is probably also a long-standing problem. Therefore, even if it is known that it is drinking to quench its thirst, the predatory exploitation of resources will continue. This is how humanity probably fell into the abyss and went to perdition.

Of course, this kind of proposition is too big, so big that everyone present will not think about it.

"Oh, I knew I wouldn't be here."

At this moment. After only walking for more than ten minutes, An Huanqing began to regret it. But now, it's too late to turn back, so I have to grit my teeth and persevere. Relatively speaking, Baye's physical strength is relatively abundant, and it is easy to climb up the hill. There is even room to pull An Huanqing.

"The consequences of not listening to good counsel." Uncle Song smiled. Empathetic: "Okay, stop and rest for a while." ”

"Great......"

When An Huanqing heard this, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he sat down directly on a big stone.

"You're not afraid of booty pants."

Baye frowned slightly, and casually pulled out a tissue and handed it to An Huanqing to wipe his sweat.

"It's already stolen, Xiao Ye, you can also sit ......" Just as An Huanqing greeted Bai Ye, the others were surprised to see Uncle Song take out a small steel shovel in his backpack and dig it lightly on the nearby rocks.

"Uncle, it doesn't seem to be to the ground yet." Wang Guan kindly reminded.

"It's too late to get there." Uncle Song said with a smile: "If you just look at the stone. It is definitely necessary to observe in the field, but to explore the veins, then it is necessary to have a complete picture. ”

An Shengxian nodded in understanding, although it is now a bidding pit, but each pit mouth includes a mountain, or several mountains. Since it has not been unblocked. It is not possible to go into the pit to study the specific situation, only through the condition of the outer layer of the surface, estimate the approximate amount of resource reserves in the pit, and then subtract the production of previous excavations......

In this way, there is an approximate data on how much stone is left at the mouth of the pit. Even the data is vague and may even be biased. But it's better than having dark eyes.

All in all, the bidding for the pit mouth is inherently gambling. The reason for such meticulous investigation and research is nothing more than to reduce the risks.

It's just that some people can afford to lose. Even if he loses ten times, as long as he can win once, he can earn it back. Of course, there are also people who win ten times in a row, and if they plant a heel, they will immediately go bankrupt, and there is no chance to turn over. An Shengxian obviously belongs to the former, so even if he cares about this matter anymore, he looks calm on the surface, and he is obviously very confident in his heart.

"Uncle, you're amazing."

At the same time, Yu Feibai admired and said with a smile: "How are you going to explore, is there any secret or anything like that, so that it is convenient to guide us?" ”

"No problem."

Uncle Song responded happily and chuckled: "But I'm afraid you won't understand, and it's up to me to keep a hand." After all, there are some doorways, you are not an expert, and you may not be able to understand them after listening to them. ”

"It's okay, anyway, we're just idle and bored, just listening to the fun." Yu Feibai said with a smile, this is true, after all, if you don't have this foundation, you can't steal it if you want to.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it......"

Next, Uncle Song talked about the mountain-shaped landform, the changes in the stream, the prominence of faults, etc., etc., anyway, everyone listened to it with relish, as for whether they understood it, then they talked about it.

"Speaking of which, it's still mothballed here. Otherwise, the entire mountain would have been dug up and filled with gravel. Uncle Song shook his head and said: "In this case, even if I have the ability, I can't see any clues." ”

Everyone thought so, and slowly went deeper, and also found that there were more lush weeds and shrubs on the surrounding hills, and occasionally they could hear the sound of birds and insects, which was also a little angry.

"Brother An!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the side of the hill. Everyone took advantage of the situation and looked over, only to see that there was also a group of people wandering on the hill over there. The appearance of those people who are fully armed is also similar to An Shengxian and others.

"It's Qiu Wenzhong." Wang Guan had sharp eyes, and after a glance, he determined the identities of those people.

"It turned out to be Brother Qiu."

When An Shengxian heard this, he immediately laughed loudly: "What a coincidence......" (to be continued)
