Chapter 399: Muddy Sand Hides Gold
Guan Er violently covered Chu Feifei's mouth, lowered his voice and said, "If you don't want to die, don't shout!" ”
Chu Feifei glared and nodded repeatedly.
After Guan Er let go of his hand, Chu Feifei hurriedly wiped his mouth and poured mud and sand.
This Guan Er's hand is very strong, and it is a dirty mud in his hand, and he covers people's mouths regardless of the ground, Chu Feifei is defenseless and really eats a mouthful of sand.
Staring at Guan Er with disgust, Chu Feifei wiped his mouth and took a few steps back, distancing himself from him.
Guan Er was a little speechless, who was much cleaner than the other who was rolling in the mud all day long? This kid is feminine and hypocritical.
Suddenly, I remembered that after drinking a few sips of water that day, this kid revealed a thin lip with a red lip flap and extremely delicate appearance, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Chu Feifei carefully.
Seeing that although he was thin and weak, the hem of the robe exposed under the robe was hung in tatters, but it was indeed a man's robe, and his voice was rough and hoarse, and his face was covered with yellow mud, and he had not been cleaned up, if he was a woman, it was really not like it.
Thinking of this, Guan Er put the thought that flashed out just now, and said in a low voice: "Many river workers here have been digging sediment here for more than half a month, and they never know what they are digging, so it can be seen that these people are trying to hide it from us. ”
Chu Feifei felt that it was reasonable, and he approached with a smile and lowered his voice: "Second Brother Guan, you just said that there is a gold mine here?" ”
Guan Er looked at the dog-legged face in front of him and laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart. How could he have such a thought, the one in front of him is clearly just a poor scholar who is cheeky and greedy for money.
"I guessed too." Guan Er began to dig with his head down again.
Guess? How to guess? Is it okay to teach her? Chu Fei stared at Guan Er in disbelief, his eyes burning.
Guan Er felt that his face wrapped in yellow mud was about to be burned out of two holes by Chu Feifei's gaze, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, raised his head helplessly and said, "I really guessed." ”
Chu Feifei smiled: "Okay, just guess it, Second Brother Guan, the stone I dug up that day." Is there really gold in it? ”
Guan Er was speechless. Was this man listening to him? He said that he was just guessing, and this kid looked like he obviously didn't believe it.
Maybe Chu Feifei's gaze was too eager, which made Guan Er feel that if he didn't answer this question today. This kid will never let him go. Guan Er replied honestly:
"I can't say for sure. If you dig up a piece of dog's head gold, then I can see it at a glance, but the stone you dug up that day. It was still the true color of the stone, and it was covered with a lot of mud and sand, and I could only guess that it might be a stone with gold, or it might just be a stone with a little gold. So I'm really hard to say. ”
"In short, no matter how much, it must contain gold." Chu Feifei was a little excited, what kind of dog's head gold, stone wrapped in gold, she didn't understand it, in short, there were gold characters in it, in short, she dug up the gold with her own hands.
Guan Er opened his mouth and held back again, seeing that this kid was so excited, he couldn't bear to hit him.
"Second Brother Guan, why do you say that so many people have been digging for so long, and I am the only one who has dug up a stone with gold?" Chu Feifei said eagerly: "If it's a gold mine, there should be a lot of it here, right?" ”
Guan Er shook his head slightly: "This gold hunt is a profound knowledge, I only know a little bit of skin, and looking at the mountain trend here, this real place with gold should be upstream." ”
"Oh." Chu Feifei was a little disappointed: "That means that if we dig here, it is very likely that we won't be able to dig anything?" ”
"That's not necessarily, the gold in this valley is likely to be sand gold, although gold panning is time-consuming and laborious, but fortunately, the process is simple and cheap."
Chu Feifei was a little dizzy: "Sha Jin? You mean there's gold in the sand? ”
Guan Er nodded: "You see that the sediment we dug up has been transported out of the river valley, I think there should be another group of people outside the river valley who are specialized in gold panning." ”
Ha? The mud and sand they dug up for others to pick up the gold? Chu Feifei felt pain in his chest.
She bent down and grabbed a handful of mud and sand in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, except for the gravel was sand, facing the sun, there was occasionally something shining in it, but because it was too small, there was no way to separate it.
"Can you really dig for gold here?" Chu Feifei was a little skeptical.
Guan Er smiled: "In the early years, there was a legend that there was a farmer by Qishui who drove ducks to Qishui every day to graze. One day, when a guest came to the farmer's house, the farmer slaughtered a duck for the guest, but found gold grains in the duck. ”
"How can there be gold nuggets?" Chu Fei said curiously: "This duck is so lucky, no, it should be said that this farmer's luck is really good." ”
Guan Er knew when he heard that this kid thought that the duck had swallowed the gold grains directly, and he told this story in vain.
"I mean, this duck eats the mud and sand, and the mud and sand contain gold, and over the years, the gold accumulates in the duck, and after a long time, it becomes a gold nugget." Guan Er patiently explained.
Chu Feifei understood, it turned out that the so-called sand gold was actually extremely small, and ordinary methods could not be found at all, if it weren't for the special organs of the duck, maybe the gold would have rolled down with the mud and sand, and he would have missed the farmer.
"Second Brother Guan, you said that if you dig all the mud and sand in this river valley, how much gold can you recover?" Chu Feifei looked at the huge river valley with infinite fascination, as if he saw a golden mountain.
Guan Er smiled: "If the main vein is not here, it will be up to the sky if you can find a few hundred taels." ”
"So little?" Chu Feifei screamed in a low voice.
Guan Er looked at him strangely, so little? That's gold, a few hundred taels of gold can almost buy half of the county, he is still too little?
Chu Feifei woke up and coughed lowly, she is now the boss of Scarlet House, she has seen a lot of accounts, and some large businesses are settled in gold, so in Chu Feifei's eyes, a hundred taels of gold is really nothing.
"I mean, it's such a big valley that gets so little gold, so little." Chu Feifei hurriedly remedied.
Guan Er sighed: "Yes, the gold veins are extremely low, and most of them are extremely difficult to mine, but if you encounter a gold vein with excellent fineness, there are tens of thousands of taels." ”
Wow, tens of thousands of taels of gold, Chu Feifei's eyes lit up: "So, what does Second Brother Guan mean is that the upper reaches of the river valley are likely to be buried with tens of thousands of taels of gold?" ”
Guan Er couldn't wait to twist this kid's ears to him: "I said, I just guessed, I didn't see the original gold, and I didn't explore it myself, how would I know!" ”
Seeing that Chu Feifei's eyes were still shining, and he didn't seem to listen to his words at all, Guan Er gritted his teeth, grabbed Chu Feifei's collar suddenly, and carried him to his side:
"I warn you, don't take those golden veins! I don't care if you want to swallow it privately or if you want to tell the government, you can see if you have that life first!
None of those black-clothed people are strong in martial arts and extremely vicious, and besides, they have the courage to do things to collect private money, so they don't take the government seriously.
Hurry up and put away your greedy face for me, or you will die far away, and save me a lot of time! (To be continued.) )
