Montenegro, also known as Karang Guietak in ancient times, is one of the main peaks of the Kunlun Mountains, with the highest peak reaching 7,562 meters and covered with ice and snow all year round. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The jade-producing site is the Agjugai Valley under the Black Mountain, which is a glacial belt. The water of the Agjugai glacier flows into the South Khan Nilak River, which is the source of a tributary of the Yulong Kashgar River that flows into Khotan.

The altitude of the Agjugai Valley is about 5,000 meters, and the road to it is winding and rugged, and the jade pickers can only wander on the zigzag donkey road of the Kunlun Mountains, from the beginning of the mountain to the destination, they need to walk non-stop in the mountains for 10 hours!

There were a total of 48 people who were going to go into the mountain with Li Yi and them, these people, or three or four people, or a team of five or six people, on the afternoon of the third day when Li Yi came to Hotan, they hired two large trucks with canopies, set off from Hotan, and bumped all the way for several hours to the entrance of the mountain.

"It's dark early in the mountains, and if you want to get to the valley of Agjugai, you have to walk a day's road, so you have to camp here a day in advance and set off tomorrow morning."

Several people set up tents, He Meng lit the alcohol stove, and while waiting for the water to boil, he told Li Yi and them some things that needed attention.

"A few years ago, when I first discovered that jade was produced in the Agjugai Valley, many people came, and at that time, everyone would bring a donkey, because there may be more jade mined, and it can't be carried by manpower, but now it's ......."

He glanced at the tents dotted around the neighborhood and shook his head,

"At least most of the people here will get nothing."

Breaking two packets of instant noodles into boiling water, He Meng continued:

"The banks of the South Khannyrak River are fairly flat, but there are two places along the way that are more dangerous, one is called the Wolf Valley, where the slopes have collapsed and the boulders are so full that only a stretch of the road below the edge of the snow can pass, from which people and donkeys have fallen before. There is also a section of cliff about a kilometer long, and the road is less than half a meter wide, which is impassable if the wind blows. ”

"The water in the South Khannylak is very cold, and most sections of the river have clumps of ice ridges, but if you really want to make a profit, you can only find it in the shallow water by the river. Moreover, there are frequent floods in the valley, and although there are almost no in this season, they have to be guarded against. ”

"And ......"

The next day, when the first rays of clouds appeared in the distance, a group of people embarked on a journey to the valley of Agjugai.

Looking at the snow-capped mountains from afar, most people will think that they are majestic and beautiful, but it is not a pleasant thing to walk through these steep mountains. But this time they were lucky, there were no accidents along the way, and nine hours later, as soon as it was dark, a group of people arrived at the valley of Agjugai safely.

As soon as they entered the valley, several teams dispersed, He Meng took Li Yi and the other two teams to walk upstream for about three or four hundred meters, and just turned a cliff, an open river beach appeared in front of them.

The beach is large and flat, with a width of more than 150 meters and a length of more than 500 meters. The beach has a gentle slope on one side and a steep cliff on the other, and the course of the South Khannylak River is just below the cliff.

"From here, two kilometers upstream to three kilometers downstream, people have mined jade, so we set up camp here, and then it's up to everyone's luck."

The three teams walked to the bottom of the gentle slope, each chose a place, and began to set up camp.

It soon darkened, but soon, as the moon rose, the river beach lit up again, and it was possible to see not only the tents of the other teams not far away, but even the outlines of the stones on the ground nearby.

"Real jade can reflect the moonlight, so experienced people like to pick jade at night when the moonlight is relatively bright, if you are interested, you can also try it."

He Meng picked up the basket while nibbling on dry food and prepared to pick jade, and in the two camps next to him, there were already people who walked onto the river beach and officially started the jade mining journey.

"Brother Yi?"

Gu Feng glanced at Li Yi, but Li Yi shook his head and turned over the alcohol stove from his backpack.

"It's still a long time, take care of your stomach first."

"Also, those of us who don't have much experience, let's wait for dawn and look for it slowly."

He Chong picked up the iron bucket, ran to the river dozens of meters away to draw a bucket of river water, poured some into the iron pot, and then lay down on the inflatable cushion next to him, looked at the night sky and sighed,

"Picking jade has been a hard job since ancient times, and I don't know what you kid thinks, but you are actually interested in running to this barren mountain to play......

Li Yi smiled and put the instant noodles into the pot,

"Wouldn't it be nice to walk around while you're young? What's more, if you can find a piece of the best, wouldn't it be a haircut? ”

"Sent it? Hmph, just fool me......"

After a while, several people finished eating, He Chong picked up a bowl of hot soup and went to He Meng, while Li Yi took out a back basket and a small iron rake and walked onto the river beach.

At first, he didn't turn on the perspective, but wandered around the river beach aimlessly, and kicked the pebbles under his feet from time to time.

"Huh?"

After wandering around for a while, Li Yi turned on the perspective, and then soon saw a piece of green jade seed material the size of an egg, buried under a pile of pebbles less than half a meter in front of him.

He walked over and shaved twice with a rake, and then he dug out the seed, looked at it in his hand, and then threw it to the ground at random. This piece of material, at most, is an ordinary processing material, he is too lazy to ask for it outside the mountain, let alone carry it on his back for a day's mountain road, he is not crazy to that extent.

Slowly swaying all the way through, it didn't take long for him to find a few more pieces of seeds, but these best ones were almost the same as the one just now, and he didn't even bend down to pick them up. There is no hope.

After walking for a while, Li Yi's eyes suddenly jumped, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he finally found a piece!

This is a piece of melon-sized white jade seed material, half of which is attached to the gray-white stone skin, and half is exposed with delicate and lustrous jade material, and its jade quality has reached the standard of high-quality processing materials, such a large piece, at least worth nearly one million!

Removing the stone that was pressing on the seed, Li Yi threw the material into the back basket, then hummed a song, and then walked around.

Two hours later, Li Yi, who had traveled most of the river beach, returned to the camp, and He Chong, who was lying on the mat and chatting with Gu Feng, stood up suddenly.

"How's the harvest?"

"See for yourself!"

Throwing the back basket to the ground, Li Yi rubbed his shoulders, things are a little troublesome, just after looking at how big the place is, he found these two pieces, and he knew that he should have brought a donkey over.

"Damn, you're really fake, can you really see the glow? It can't be all stones, right? ”

He Chong first stretched out his head to take a look, and then poured the seeds out of the back basket,

"It's a high-quality piece of material...... This piece is also, oh buy ga, how did you kid do it? ”

"Just look at it casually, anyway, look at it twice......"

“……”

After a while, He Meng also returned to the camp in a hurry,

"It looks like it's going to be transferred this time, you see, what did I find?"

"Huh? Big brother also gains? ”

He Chong took the back basket from He Meng's hand, took out a piece of seed material the size of a watermelon from it, looked at it twice with a flashlight, and slapped his thigh hard.

"First-class processing material, such a big size, at least hundreds of thousands! Big brother, how did you find it? ”

"Hehe, good luck, but fortunately I didn't be lazy, such a large piece of material, just lying on the river beach, you can see its glorious light from afar, I tell you, I have to see the light too much to be taught......"

He Meng spoke excitedly, and Li Yi shook his head with a smile while listening, this piece of material was turned out from under the pebbles and deliberately thrown onto the river beach. Because after looking at the proportion of seed material here, he decided to secretly put some material in an obvious place so that other jade pickers could pick it up.

This is certainly not because of his overflowing sympathy, but because, if everyone has nothing to gain, and he is a newcomer who is making a lot of money, it is not easy to explain. However, if everyone's harvest is not bad, and he is only slightly better in jade quality, then it should not be so prominent.

So just now he turned out some shallow materials that he couldn't look at and threw them on the surface of the river beach, and this piece was the best piece of the material he turned out.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this piece was too heavy and difficult to get out, he would have picked it up by himself a long time ago.

"I seem to have seen Xiao Li also go to jade mining just now, how is it, is there any gain? It doesn't matter if you don't, you're not ...... after all."

Carefully wrapping up the seeds and putting them away, He Meng sat down beside He Chong, and secretly rejoiced while talking.

In fact, He Chong told him that a friend wanted him to take a piece of jade into the mountains, but at first, he firmly disagreed. Because of a jade picking team like them, under normal circumstances, all the gains are to be divided equally, so everyone is reluctant to bring newcomers, let alone people like Li Yi who are here to play at a glance.

In the end, because He Chong insisted on it, and he made it clear that whoever picked it up at that time would be whoever, regardless of it, he reluctantly agreed.

But even if he reluctantly agreed, he still had a heart, that is, to take Li Yi to the Agjugai Valley to pick jade. Because it is difficult to walk here, and the road is very dangerous, if the situation is explained, Li Yi may retreat in spite of the difficulties, but he didn't expect it......

But fortunately, he insisted that whoever picked it up would have been whomever had it, otherwise he would have really lost a lot of money this time.

"It doesn't matter if you don't, you don't have a ...... after all Yes? What the? You actually picked up two? Where is it, I'll see! ”

He Meng casually comforted Li Yi while thinking about it, but he didn't expect that Li Yi actually said that he had also picked up two stones, and he couldn't help but be surprised, this guy couldn't have picked up two stones, right?

Although He Chong told him that Li Yi was a master in identifying jade, and even gambling on jade, he still felt a little unbelievable, to find out the seeds accurately among so many stones, it was not a simple matter of identifying and gambling jade, but looking at their expressions, he seemed to have really picked up the seeds......

"This ...... Are you really all picking it up? How is this possible?! ”

The next moment, He Meng was stunned, this guy not only really picked up the seeds, but also the high-quality processed materials, this Nima, who is the senior jade picker!

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, He Meng, who was stimulated, ran to the river beach to pick up jade without even eating breakfast, while Li Yi slept lazily, and after waking up, he drank a bowl of vegetable soup from the thick soup Bao Chong, and then walked slowly towards a place on the river beach.

Last night, in addition to the two pieces of seed material he picked up, he actually found a better piece of material, but that piece of material was buried a little deep, and if he wanted to dig it out in the middle of the night, there was no way to explain it, so he chose to come during the day.

Because a lot of seed material is buried in the ground, jade pickers generally pick a few pieces of land that he thinks may have material to dig deep after looking at the surface, and even some jade pickers are ready to dig deep from the beginning, and Li Yi hits this idea, digging a pit during the day, not abrupt, it is normal.

The sand on the river beach was very loose, and with Gu Feng's help, it didn't take long for Li Yi to dig out this piece of collectible-grade seed material the size of a goose egg, and after looking at it in his hand for a while, he walked to the river, and he wanted to wash his hands.

Here, because the terrain is flat, the river is relatively wide, and because it is a dry season, the water is not deep, but it is very cold, and you can occasionally see some ice cubes that have not melted inside.

The bottom of the river here is also full of pebbles, so before they came, He Meng prepared a set of watertight boots and leather pants, which was ready to pick jade in the shallow water, but now the shore has not finished reading, so he is not ready to go into the water.

Since there may be material in the water, Li Yi naturally won't let it go, so while washing his hands, he turned on the perspective, and in an instant, the situation at the bottom of the river appeared in front of him.

One, two, three......

Li Yi's brows furrowed, the river here is about ten meters wide, the water near the river beach is very shallow, but the one near the cliff is deeper. However, most of the valuable seeds he found were at the bottom of the river near the cliff, and it would be good to say that the materials were average, but what if he found the best?

He slowly scanned the bottom of the water, wondering what he would do if that really happened. Suddenly, his brow jumped fiercely, Nima, I'm really worried about anything, could it be that I really want to let him go into the water?

ps: I was going to be more 8000, but I don't want to be a result card...... Let's see if I can make it up tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
