Chapter 3: Painful Baby
At the bottom of the well, there is a swarthy hole next to a hill of black-brown dirt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Yu walked over familiarly, turned on the flashlight and got in.
This hole was dug by Zhou Yu in order to find out the secret here and discover the source of the fragrance. Since the discovery of this place, it has been digging for more than a year one after another. This is no small project!
The cave sloped downward, with a slope of nearly forty-five degrees, and once it came into contact with hard stones, it turned around, and now it has meandered for about seventy or eighty meters long.
The vertical distance from the bottom of the well, according to Zhou Yu's estimate, should be more than ten meters deep.
Along this hole, Zhou Yu went all the way to the bottom of the cave, where a hoe, a bamboo basket and a small iron bucket were placed.
Fix the flashlight aside, and without saying a word, pick up the hoe and dig.
As soon as the hoe went down, large chunks of soft soil were dug out, and seven or eight milky white earthworms also revealed their fat and smooth bodies. Grab these earthworms one by one and put them in a small bucket next to them. When you go back, take these earthworms and put them in the pigsty compost pile to raise, or feed them directly to the yellow eels, anyway, they are all earning.
After a dozen hoes, a large pile of dirt accumulated, so it was loaded into a bamboo basket and transported all the way out of the hole. Then come back again and keep digging.
went back and forth like this five or six times, and Zhou Yu was tired and out of breath.
After all, it is seventy or eighty meters away, and it is still uphill, and there are dozens of catties of soil in a basket. is that Zhou Yu is young and strong, and it is difficult to continue after several times.
Throwing down the bamboo basket, sitting down, gasping slightly, Zhou Yu's brows furrowed slightly: "I've dug so deep, that special fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, but..."
As for whether it is feasible to explore the real secrets of this place by digging this passage, by now, his heart is becoming more and more bottomless. Even if the fragrance is getting stronger.
Zhou Yu can't estimate the age of the formation of this patio, at least in thousands of years. And how deep the floating soil at the bottom of the cave is, this is also immeasurable. Even if you dig through the floating soil layer at the bottom of the cave and wait until you touch the rock layer, if you still don't find out the secret truth, then more than a year of hard work will basically be in vain.
"Maybe I was too young at the time, and I thought I could find out the secret..."He shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to dig and dig, it's been more than a year..."
In the future, his energy will be completely devoted to his own plan, to make his own career, and he will not have the leisure to come here to explore the secrets.
"Forget it, just today. If you don't get anything today, stop it. ”
"Although I can't find the source of the fragrance, and I can't know the secrets here, the earthworms and dirt here are all good things. Earthworms can be used for farming, while soil... I just dug up so much, find a way to transport some out first, and experiment with it..."
According to Zhou Yu's thoughts, since the soil here can grow such a special milky white earthworm, there must be something strange about it, although the root may not be in this soil, but it must also have some effect.
Ship it out and do an experiment to see if the soil has any effect on the fruits and vegetables, and then make plans.
If there is, Zhou Yu's efforts for more than a year are not completely in vain, but correspondingly, it is a big project to move the soil later, and it will be tiring to death. If not, then the dirt is to be carried away.
After resting for a while, Zhou Yu picked up the hoe and continued to dig.
Hoe after hoe, not fast or slow, to ensure that you will not be particularly tired on the premise of digging as much as possible.
After all, today is the deadline he has set for himself.
In fact, deep down, I am still very curious about the secrets here. But now he has more to think about than just his curiosity.
"Clank!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yu went down with a hoe, and he didn't know what hard object he touched, making a crisp clanging sound, and his arm was numb from the shock.
"Did you dig the stone in the cave wall again..."
He was about to turn, but in the faint light of the flashlight, he suddenly saw that the edge of the hoe was completely bent!
"Huh..."
I haven't dug the cave wall before, and although the cave wall is a stone, the layer of stone next to the floating soil is not very hard. It makes a noise, but it will never bend the blade of the hoe!
"What's that?"
Zhou Yu's thoughts turned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but perk up: "Did you dig up something special?!" ”
So he hurriedly used a hoe to remove a large piece of soil, and under the light of the flashlight, a touch of jade milky white suddenly appeared.
Hurriedly threw away the hoe, Zhou Yu used both hands, hulala shaved the brown soil around this milky white, and soon dug out a large piece of milky white!
He resisted the fierce beating of his heart, reached out and rubbed it, and found that the surface of the thing was smooth like glass, not rough at all. You know, even the hoe was bent just now, and it didn't leave a trace!
The skin touched, and there was a touch of warmth: "Is it mutton fat white jade?" Zhou Yu held his breath, but shook his head again: "No, I heard that mutton fat jade is soft, and other jade is not so tough." ”
This milky white thing did not reveal the whole picture, it should be a certain part of something, because it was only seen, and Zhou Yu couldn't figure out its original appearance at all.
I took the flashlight, stared wide-eyed, and observed carefully, and found that its appearance was no different from jade, but inside, under the illumination of the light, I could see some milky white silk threads flowing!
It's like it's alive!
Zhou Yu was taken aback: "Is it a living thing?" ”
"No," he immediately denied: "If it is alive, I dig it with a hoe, and it will definitely move." ”
Lying down, he leaned his nose over and sniffed, and sure enough, the fragrance on this milky white thing was extremely strong: "It seems that the aroma in this cave is emitted by this thing!" ”
Zhou Yu was extremely excited, and picked up the hoe at the moment: "Just let me see, what has made me curious about what it is for more than a year!" ”
Zhou Yu used all his strength to dig hard, and the digging was sweating like rain.
That piece of milky white, under the rotation of Zhou Yu's hoe, exposed a larger and larger area, and its outline gradually appeared.
In the end, a square thing was dug up by Zhou Yu!
Zhou Yu threw away the hoe and circled around the dug up, rubbing it carefully while looking at it. This thing seems to be a jade seal, with a side length of about one meter, although it is larger, but it is really very regular.
Under the light of the flashlight, the entire jade seal emitted a soft light, as if it was full of fairy energy. The milky white silk threads gathered inside, like agile white snakes swimming, very beautiful.
"Is it artificially created in such a regular shape?" Zhou Yu thought about it, but after a careful observation, he found that although its appearance was regular, there was no trace of man-made, as if it was completely natural!
"What a miracle of nature..."
"It's definitely a treasure, if you move it back and sell it, I don't know how much it can be sold..."He thought secretly, his heart racing.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help swallowing and saliva: "I heard that those excellent jades, a big palm, will be sold for hundreds of thousands, millions, how can this thing be more precious than those jades, right?" And it's so big, can't it be sold for tens of millions?! ”
"Tens of millions!"
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
The hard life made Zhou Yu deeply aware that it is not easy to make money. What would it be like to get tens of millions of dollars all at once?
"I will send my grandfather to the best hospital and ask the best doctor to cure my grandfather. If the money hasn't run out, I'll tear down the old yard, build a big house, hire two nannies to take care of my grandfather, and then use the rest for farming! ”
Zhou Yu was full of longing and almost drooled.
Hurriedly bit the flashlight, scooped up his sleeves, hugged the jade seal-like thing, and suddenly exerted his strength - but his face turned red, and the jade seal on that side was unmoved!
"Come again!" Zhou Yu took a deep breath and held back his strength, but he still did not shake the jade seal.
He couldn't help gritting his teeth and pushed the jade seal again, but there was still no movement.
I picked up the hoe again, and wanted to dig down from the side of the jade seal and hollow out the bottom, but I found that there was a hard rock layer underneath, and I couldn't dig it at all!
Now, Zhou Yu is deflated!
He looked at this jade seal, like a dog biting a hedgehog, and he had no idea where to start!
What kind of pain is it that infinite wealth is in front of him, but he can't do anything about it?!
Scratching his head vigorously, he didn't care about the dirt on his hands: "What should I do, what should I do..." he thought about it irritably, but he didn't think of any way to move this jade seal out.
Although he is young, he has a lot of strength. But whether it was hugging or pushing, it couldn't shake the jade seal in the slightest. And it's the bottom of the patio, deep in the mountains, so it's hard to get out even if you can move it. Plus this thing can't be known to others.
It's unthinkable.
In his irritability, Zhou Yu couldn't help but hammer his fist on the jade seal, and only let the blood of a fist hammer flow for a long time.
"No, I'll think again."
He pondered for a long time, longing for this moment to rest and possess him. In the irritability, he climbed up to the jade seal and sat down, but he screamed out in pain!
"What?!"
This jade seal is as smooth as a mirror, how can it knock on the buttocks?
Hurriedly got up, and saw a lump of dirt under the buttocks, which turned out to be mud that had not been cleaned up. A few handfuls of mud were wiped off, and finally, the thing that knocked on the ass was revealed!
It turned out to be a fist-sized ball!
In the center of this jade seal, in a circular pit, a green ball appeared in front of me!
Zhou Yu opened his mouth wide, and he saw that the ball was actually floating!
It did not come into contact with the jade seal, but was suspended in the pit!
There seems to be a mysterious force that holds this ball up!
Zhou Yu couldn't help licking his dry lips, slowly reached out, grabbed the ball, and was about to pick it up, but found that he couldn't pick it up no matter how hard he tried! It's as if there's something down there that pulls the ball and doesn't move.
"Holy!"
He finally couldn't help but scold his mother!
The jade seal can't be moved, this is just a round ball, and you can't pick it up, wealth and treasures are in front of you, but you can only look at it, you can't move, and your heart is a pain! He could hardly resist pointing his fingers at the heavens and scolding the earth!
"I don't believe in this evil!" Jumping off the jade seal, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and picked up the hoe: "I can't take out the whole one, so I'll break it!" ”
With a bang, the hoe was thrown up by the shock, and Zhou Yu's palm was also cracked because of excessive force, blood flowed for a long time, and his arm was almost unconscious.
He sat on the ground with a slump of arms, weak.
