Chapter 580: Picking Up Money
It is a quiet bottom of the water, covered with fine white sand grains, dotted with pebbles large and small, and you can still see a strange-looking fish or two hovering on it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In this section of riverbed that Li Yi can see about 30 meters long, there are about dozens of seeds of various qualities, and in his sight, it is like a star in the dark night sky, and it is like a firefly in the wilderness at night, emitting a strong or weak shining light.
Most of these seeds are ordinary processed materials, and there are also a few pieces of high-quality grades, and the most brilliant one is a piece of top-grade mutton fat white jade material.
Although this collectible seed is only the size of a normal egg, it is impeccable in terms of color, texture, structure, water head, and oiliness. In particular, the outside of the material is also covered with a thin layer of sprinkled gold, as if it is a piece of golden jade cake that has just been fried out of the pot, which looks extremely attractive.
His gaze moved upward, and soon, Li Yi found a reference on the opposite cliff, and then he slowly got up and walked along the river, all the way downstream.
The river flows quietly, and from time to time a small wave is raised, and it quickly disappears. Near the cliff, sometimes a small whirlpool would appear, and when he looked through the water to trace the cause behind the whirlpool, he found that the whirlpool suddenly disappeared again.
The camp they chose was about 200 meters away from the cliff wall they had turned around yesterday, and Li Yi walked for almost half an hour on this road. At the same time, there were more than 300 pieces of ordinary seeds above the ordinary level that appeared in his sight, although most of them were in the deep water area near the cliff, but close to the river beach, there were almost 100 pieces on the riverbed with a water depth of less than half a meter.
However, even if the water here is shallow and clear, it is not easy to find the 100 pieces of seeds. Because most of them are buried under sand or other pebbles, unless they are able to see through like him, or as He Chong said before, they bring in a sand miner to turn the bottom of the river up completely.
Turning the cliff, the river suddenly narrowed, not far after the intersection they came down from yesterday, both sides of the river became towering cliffs, Li Yi reluctantly walked forward more than ten meters, then shook his head, regretfully retreated.
Following the path he had descended yesterday, he climbed up the hill and then walked down the river bank for about 500 meters, when a sandy beach that was not very wide came into view.
The beach is very long, almost a kilometer or two, and it gets wider and wider the further down it goes. In the distance, Li Yi saw the tents of those people who had separated yesterday, and also saw the figures of them scattered on the river beach, hooking their heads, carrying baskets on their backs, and holding a small rake everywhere looking for jade.
He searched along the shore, and soon found a place where he could go down, and when he came to the beach, he first glanced at the nearby ground, and then came to the river, and looked at the bottom of the river.
Because it has just passed between two cliffs, the river here is not very wide, only about three or four meters, and because of the rapid current, the bottom of the riverbed four or five meters deep, except for some large stones, there is basically no sand and gravel at the bottom.
His gaze slowly moved under the water, and suddenly, his eyes jumped, and a huge rock hidden deep underwater, almost covering a third of the river, appeared in his sight.
The rock is so large that it is nearly three meters high, like a wall, forcibly blocking the rushing river and forming a small backwater inlet.
At the bottom of the backwater bay, there are a few white and somewhat transparent small fish foraging around, and below the small fish, there are some pebbles stopped by this boulder, which is mixed with several pieces of seed material, one of which is the size of a baby's head, or a very good piece of high-quality processing material grade green and white jade seed material, if you can get it up, at least it can be sold for two or three million.
However, this is not the focus of Li Yi's attention, Li Yi's focus is on another piece, a piece of watermelon-sized piece of oval-shaped seed material that is blocked by a gap between the big rock and the cliff wall, and will probably weigh more than 30 kilograms.
The huge rock is actually one with the rocks at the bottom of the riverbed and the rocks on the cliff wall, but for some reason, it seems that someone has split it between it and the cliff, and a thin slit about 20 centimeters wide has appeared at the bottom of the riverbed, and the seed material the size of a watermelon is stuck at the bottom of this slit at the moment, and it is not moving at all when it is washed by the water.
This is a piece of autumn pear skin, fine and glutinous like rice flour and full of lustrous mutton fat white jade, its texture is not weaker than the egg-sized seed material that Li Yi found before, and its size is countless times that of that piece!
Looks like we're going to have to get into the water!
Li Yi looked around and found that there was no one within a distance of nearly a thousand meters, and if he went into the water, no one should be able to find out. But how to get Gu Feng, who has been by his side, away, is a headache for him.
Shaking his head, he turned around and walked slowly downstream, he wanted to see if there was any material worthy of him in the water of a few hundred meters around here, it was not easy to go down, it was best to catch it together.
The further down the river became, the wider the river became, and the water flow became slower and slower, and slowly, some sand and gravel began to appear at the bottom of the river, but after walking for almost five hundred meters, Li Yi did not see a piece of mutton fat white jade again.
After walking back for a while, he looked at the time, turned his head and said to Gu Feng:
"Crazy, I'm a little hungry, you go back and cook the rice first, this time I want to drink some broth, you cook a little longer. I'll take a look around here and I'll be back later. ”
Gu Feng hesitated for a moment and nodded,
"That'...... Brother Yi, you are careful alone. ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm not a child......"
Li Yi waved his hand indifferently, and when Gu Feng's figure disappeared, he quickly ran to a big rock on the bank ramp, took off his clothes cleanly, and then rushed into the narrow river with goosebumps.
"It's cold!"
He shivered, tossed twice in the water, and after feeling that there should be no problem, a fierce man dived. In a short time, he threw both pieces of seed material out of the water and onto the shore.
An hour later, Li Yi returned to the camp with a basket on his back, and He Chong, who was turning over stones not far away, ran back excitedly when he saw him, and said in a low voice:
"I said, what are you kid running around? Do you know how many pieces we picked up this morning? Let me tell you, this is a real piece of Feng Shui......"
As he spoke, he dragged a backpack out of the tent,
"Although this one is not as good as the one my brother picked up last night, it can barely be regarded as high-quality, and it is bigger, and there are these two pieces....... my brother said, first concentrate on reading the stones on the beach of this river, and then turn down one stone by one. He also said that if he knew that he could harvest so much this time, he should have led the donkey in......"
He Chong kept talking excitedly, but he didn't notice the embarrassed look on Li Yi's face flashing. Because Li Yi didn't expect that after he turned out the seed material in this area, he would actually make He Meng mistakenly think that there would be more underground, so he would not go anywhere else, and the rest of the time would be spent digging pits, which was ...... Did it help him or hurt him?
"Although the seeds we picked up this time are not as precious as your two pieces, they are better than the quantity, and this is the first day! Haha, I think it's going to be sent this time! ”
He Chong chuckled twice,
"The other two teams basically didn't pick up any seeds, how's that? Hurry up and eat, find a place to dig a pit with me after eating! ”
After He Chong finished speaking, he pulled Li Yi's back basket with his hand, wanting to drag the back basket over to see if he had any gains. Unexpectedly, he didn't drag it all at once, and he couldn't help but change his face even if he didn't drag it again.
"You kid, this is ...... I wiped it, you actually picked up another piece of high-quality material? This...... Are you all home-raised? ”
He Chong reached out and took out the piece of green and white jade seed material the size of a baby's head from the back basket, and then, he was stunned, because he saw the autumn pear skin the size of a watermelon.
"Such a large piece of autumn pear skin, looking at the color of the skin, is at least a piece of high-quality material...... Oh my God, do you kid eat spring? Medicine? But even if it's eating spring. Medicine, shouldn't it be so fierce? ”
He Chong stroked the smooth and shiny surface of the autumn pear skin in a distracted manner, he couldn't figure it out anyway, how did Li Yi find these materials?
A newcomer who has never mined jade before, it is not without precedent that he can find a few pieces of seed material in half a day and one night, but like Li Yi, not only did he find a few pieces, but without exception, these pieces were all high-quality or above, this Nima is really too perverted.
He glanced at Li Yi speechlessly, stood up, and waved his hand behind him with interest. Forget it, don't compare with this guy, because he suddenly remembered the big seed material that sold for 128 million, that thing, but this guy kicked out of the sand casually, compared to that, what are these?
Looking at He Chong's back slowly moving away, Li Yi spread his hands helplessly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, this autumn pear skin is a piece of stone-wrapped jade, otherwise let him see that this is actually a top-grade mutton fat white jade, oh...... It's really not easy to deal with.
"Brother Yi, otherwise, if you pick up any good material in the future, don't rush back to get it back, find a place to hide it first, and then ...... in the middle of the night."
Gu Feng gave Li Yi a bowl of broth made from dried salted pork, and then softly put forward his own suggestion.
"Well, not only should the good materials be hidden, but next time you should pick up two ordinary pieces and bring them back, even if you throw them away or give them directly when you leave, it is better than the current good materials......"
Li Yi broke the roasted naan and threw it into the bowl one by one, and then made the next plan of action while drinking the broth.
"Won't they eat either?"
Gu Feng spread his hands,
"I called them just now, but He Meng said that he must hurry up and see this river beach first, otherwise he will lose money when the other teams come over. Brother Yi, you can go anywhere in the river valley, don't have any scruples. ”
Gu Feng just saw that Li Yi just walked more than 500 meters downstream and turned back, and thought that he was afraid that there were other people's areas in front of him, and after coming back, he asked He Meng specifically, only to know that there was no restriction at all, but everyone was used to looking at the area near their camp first.
"Okay, I see."
Li Yi gently patted the autumn pear peel beside him,
"I'll go upstream later, you just stay here and help me watch this guy, this piece, I estimate that it should be sold for more than 60 million!"
Hearing Li Yi say that the autumn pear peel was worth 60 million, Gu Feng was nothing abnormal, because he had seen too much of this kind of thing, but he was a little hesitant that Li Yi would not let him follow this decision......
"Okay, how can there be so much danger...... I'll be back before dark for sure. ”
Li Yi drank the rest of the broth in one gulp, then put down the bowl and stood up, slowly walking upstream along the river beach.
Along the way, although his eyes were also wandering around, he did not open the perspective, because compared to the amount of seed material in the river, although this river beach looks very large, it is really nothing, and even if there are some excellent materials, most of them are buried in the ground, and it is too eye-catching to do it during the day.
Soon, he walked to the vicinity of the camp of another group of people, and when he saw him coming, several people who were looking for jade on the river beach stopped, and one of them quietly moved a few steps in the direction of the tent.
He smiled, walked up to a weathered man in his forties, and asked:
"How's it going, have you gained anything?"
The man shook his head vigilantly and asked:
"How's that going over there?"
"It should be about the same."
When Li Yi saw their reaction just now, he knew that he must have gained something, but since the other party was unwilling to say it, why did he bother talking to them here? Anyway, everyone is not familiar with each other.
After saying hello, Li Yi continued to walk, and after a while, his figure crossed the river beach and disappeared into the upper reaches of the river.
After walking a few steps along the hillside of the river, Li Yi began to look at the bottom of the riverbed, and although no one had ever found the seeds, it was only because there was no river beach here that they could not find it, which did not mean that there was no bottom of the river.
One, two......
Li Yi silently counted the seeds that appeared in his sight as he walked, and suddenly, his steps slammed, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
Because in front of him, a semicircular and slightly narrow small lake suddenly appeared, and at the bottom of this small lake, he just glanced at it and saw three pieces of collectible-grade mutton fat white jade seeds close together!
With a long breath, he climbed up a small slope in front of him, and after a casual look, he figured out the cause of this small lake.
To be exact, this lake should also be regarded as a part of the river, because of the slope of the mountain in his direction, for some reason, the section about 20 meters long in front of him suddenly recessed more than ten meters to his right hand, so that such a section of the river was formed, and it looked like a large lump on a slender neck......
A river like this, which looks like a backwater bay, is most prone to sedimentary sand. Therefore, Li Yi was surprised when he saw the terrain here, not to mention, he had just seen three pieces of mutton fat white jade.
Casually found a flat place to sit down, Li Yi began to search the bottom of the river little by little, and after a while, he saw a piece of tiger skin mutton fat white jade seed material the size of a goose egg, and it was on the top layer of the sand and stone, so he didn't have to dig it by hand at all!
After about an hour, he slowly withdrew his gaze, jumped up and moved, took off his clothes, and slowly walked into the water with his backpack.
Half an hour later, Li Yi, whose face was blue and his lips were purple, climbed the river bank with difficulty. However, although he suffered a lot, he couldn't help but laugh twice, because the harvest this time was too great!
This time, he harvested as many as 12 pieces of mutton fat white jade level seed material alone. Among the other 17 seeds, there are not only 7 pieces of collectible-grade green and white jade, green jade seeds, but also an extremely rare top beeswax yellow native topaz seed material weighing more than ten kilograms!
Topaz seed material is a very rare variety in Hetian jade, and the beeswax yellow with strong color is the most precious and rare one of all yellows. Therefore, the value of this topaz is even more than that of mutton fat white jade of the same quality as it!
After getting dressed and moving for more than ten minutes, Li Yi's body warmed up again, he poured out all the seeds in the basket and admired them carefully, and then slowly frowned.
With so much material, even if it avoids the sight of the two He Chong brothers, how can Gu Feng explain it?
After thinking for a while, he put all the ingredients back into the basket, then climbed up the hill for some distance and quietly walked downstream.
An hour later, Li Yi, who had hidden the material somewhere downstream, returned to the river beach with an empty basket, and in the middle of the night, he and Gu Feng sneaked out to transport the seeds back to the camp and loaded them into an empty backpack.
The next day, Li Yi continued up the river until he could no longer walk before turning back, and this time, he harvested seven pieces of mutton fat white jade, one of which was as big as a melon, which he put in his pocket and secretly brought back to the camp.
On the third day, he went down the river, spared three pieces of seed material in the two-kilometer-long stretch of the river with the river beach, and then touched five pieces of mutton fat white jade in a backwater bay three kilometers away.
On the fourth day, he walked down the river to a cliff, and then brought back a piece of collectible green jade seed material weighing 12 kilograms that had been fished up from shallow water.
On the fifth day, he tossed around on the river beach downstream for a long time, got back more than a dozen pieces of ordinary processing-grade seeds, put them in his backpack in front of the two He Meng brothers, and then handed it to Gu Feng, secretly changed the beams and pillars in the tent, and loaded all the treasures he found into it......
