Chapter 831: Set off again
The distance from this section of the diamond cave to the jade vein is not very far, but the middle way is a bit troublesome, especially through the place called the Gate of Hell, which is even steeper and difficult to walk in some places, so the process is very slow.
Ah Xing and Huzi walked in the front, behind the hall, in the middle was Tang Dashao and other people, the donkey ridden by Ye Qun was held by Ah Hu with a rope, followed by a team of mules and horses, these mules and horses were burdened with supplies for the jade vein workers, most of them were some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as rice noodles and other things, of course, the fuel of the machine qĂŹ was also indispensable.
The journey took more than two hours, and the smoke in the distance was already in sight, Ye Qun excitedly pointed to the place where the smoke was coming from and said, "Little Liu, is it where is it in front?" Just where the smoke is? â
Seeing this, Tang Dashao observed it carefully and nodded: "It should be there, and the smoke should be produced by the mining machine." â
"Well, that doesn't seem very far." Ye Qun nodded.
Not very far?
Tang Dashao shook his head when he heard this: "It's not far, you'll know if you go down." â
There is an ancient saying in China, called 'looking at the mountain and running a dead horse', Ye Qun always felt that he couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, he had already seen the mountain, it shouldn't be very far, how could he still run a dead horse?
However, this personal experience finally let him know that the words left by the ancestor are still very reasonable, obviously the smoke emitted by the machine is already in sight, but it has been two hours since he walked, and the smoke still seems to be moving in front......
"Little Wu, rest for a while, drink some water, eat something, it's almost two o'clock now, and the lunch order is over." Ye Qundao.
"No, you can't rest here." Tang Dashao shook his head and refused.
You can rest an hour ago, you can rest an hour later, but you can't rest now......
"Why? You see everyone is so tired......" Ye Qun frowned.
"Qun Shao, you really can't rest here, do you feel that this mountain area on our right is a little weird?" A leopard said behind him.
"Eccentric? Is this still some forbidden place? Ye Qun asked.
Kunlun Mountain is very famous in China, there are many legends, especially related to the gods and Buddhas, the legendary Queen Mother of the West is living here in the Yaochi Wonderland of Kunlun Mountain.
Generally speaking, places with many legends will always be a little mysterious, and there will be something that even modern science cannot explain, such as the Venetian water monster, such as the Tianchi water monster, what flying saucer, aliens and so on......
"Forbidden land? It can be regarded as a mountain area on our right called the Gate of Hell, which is very evil, and some scientific researchers have entered it, but they have found nothing, and as a result, many people have died...... "Ah Hu said.
"Uh, the gates of hell? As you can tell from the name, I'm afraid it's not a kind place. Ye Qun said.
"Well, it's very evil, and there are often lightning and thunder." Tang Dashao nodded.
"Forget it, don't stay here longer, let's go." Ye Qun shrank his head when he heard this, Lei Dian would not show mercy to him because of Ye Qun's identity......
After walking for about half an hour, Ah Xing signaled that he was far away from the gate of hell, and everyone stopped to rest for a while, looking at the misty smoke in the distance, which was where the destination was!
After resting for a while, eating some dry food, and drinking some water, the group continued on their way, and finally arrived at their destination before dark.
"Ah Xing, how do I feel that we seem to have traveled farther this time, I remember that it didn't take so long last time." Looking at the chimney not far away, Tang Dashao patted the dust on his body.
"Hehe, we didn't walk the same road, the distance was actually similar, but this time we walked slower, after all, there were many mules and horses behind, and there were five of us last time, so the speed was naturally much faster than this time." Ah Xing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Tang Dashao glanced at Ye Qun beside him and nodded, indeed, with such a delayed Cunzii, it is impossible to go fast......
As soon as they walked into the range of the jade vein, the members of the five patrol teams walked over, and after seeing Ah Xing, they breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly: "Ah Xing, you came to bring us food again, this time it was a few days early." â
"Haha, Atta, it's not just me who is here this time, but also Mr. Tang, you should remember him." Ah Xing smiled and pointed at Tang Da Shaodao.
"Mr. Tang? I remember that when the dragon exited, Mr. Tang performed the stunt, I will never forget it in my life, I picked up a stone from the ditch, it was actually the best ink jade, and the female companion Mr. Tang brought last time was also very lucky, and actually picked up a piece of the best mutton fat jade. Atta laughed.
Tang Dashao smiled when he heard this, and he used the method of cutting stones to get a piece of the best ink jade, and Tang Ruyan got a piece of the best mutton fat jade, but he didn't expect that these people from the mine protection team still remembered it......
"Hello Ata!" Tang Dashao stretched out his right hand.
"Hello Mr. Tang, is Mr. Tang here to inspect this time? The mining of jade veins has been carried out for more than two months, and the jade material mined is generally transported down the mountain once every half a month. â
"The supply here is also once every half a month, just to send supplies over and transport the jade back." Attadao.
For Tang Dashao, in fact, many people have an impression, not only because of the magical watch when Tang Dashao came over, but also because the Jade Lord himself has said that whether it is this jade vein or diamond vein, there are half of Tang Dashao......
In this case, Tang Dashao is equivalent to the boss of these people, and now that the boss has come to inspect, Atta naturally wants to show himself well......
"Well, how many days ago was the last time you shipped back the leftovers?" Tang Dashao asked.
"Ten days ago, this time I came five days early." Attadao.
Tang Dashao nodded when he heard this, he knew that the reason why he came five days earlier this time was mainly because of himself.
"Let's go, let's go in and see, fifth brother, I'm afraid you haven't seen this jade mine yet." Tang Dashao said with a smile.
"Haha, I've never seen this before, but this time I'm going to have a long experience." Ye Qun laughed.
In fact, he came here this time, mainly for the Snow Mastiff Wolf King, as for the development of jade veins, he was not very interested, but he just wanted to follow the scenery along the way.
Entering the jade vein base and taking a casual visit, looking at the piles of jade materials on the ground, Tang Dashao showed a satisfied smile.
It was originally a deep pool created by a waterfall, and the jade veins were stored at the bottom of the zĂ i pool and on the cliff wall.
Nowadays, the Jade Lord uses violence to blast and change the flow direction of the upstream river, and there is no longer flowing water rushing down here, and the water in the deep pool has already been drained, revealing a large area of the ground.
"It's not a big place, I've been to the mines where iron ore and copper ore are mined, and it seems that the equipment and manpower here are far from them." Ye Qundao.
Tang Dashao couldn't help but be depressed when he heard this: "Copper and iron ore can be the same as jade mines, if there is such a scale of mining, this jade will become a big road goods, and it is worth a fart of money." â
"Well, that's right, how much can this jade vein produce in a year?" Ye Qun asked.
"I don't know the specifics, there are hundreds of millions, otherwise it wouldn't have cost the Jade Lord so much effort." Tang Dashao shook his head and said.
"Well, these people, this little machine, there are hundreds of millions of output value a year, which is really not less." Ye Qun nodded.
"Fifth brother, it's good for you to take a look here, I have some things, I may have to go deeper into the mountains." Tang Da Shaodao.
The best mutton fat jade is hard to find, Tang Dashao did not find the jade he liked in this jade vein, so he planned to go deeper into the mountains to take a look.
"Do you want to go deeper? Little Liu, what are you going to do? Ye Qun was surprised.
It's been nearly two days since I've walked here, and I'm heading for the depths of the mountains? Isn't it crazy?
"Well, I'm not here to play in Xinjiang this time, I have a purpose, I want to find a piece of the best mutton fat jade." Tang Da Shaodao.
"The best mutton fat jade? Although this thing is rare, there should still be it in the Jade Prince, can he let you go so deep into the mountains like this? Who knows what will happen......" Ye Qun frowned.
"Since you're here, you can't just take a look and leave, right?" Tang Dashao said with a smile.
He just wants to explore the way, he can find it, and if he can't find it, he will go to the Jade Lord to ask for a piece.
However, this piece of mutton fat jade is to be given to Yun Shangshang, and from the bottom of his heart, he still prefers to find a piece of the best mutton fat jade by himself, so that it will be more meaningful!
"Okay, I'll go ...... too," Ye Qun said.
"No, you can't go this time, just wait here, let's rest here for one night, tomorrow I will ask Ah Xing to take me to find jade, I will go out for a day, and when I come back, we will set off, return to the diamond vein, and then pick some diamonds from there as gifts, and then we can leave Xinjiang." Tang Dashao shook his head and said.
Just kidding, just his body, if he goes, it won't be a waste of time......
Hearing this, Ye Qun said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here." â
There was no water on the riverbed near the jade vein, and some houses were built out of trees, some for jade and some for people, and Tang Dashao and Ye Qun stayed in such a small cabin for one night......
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Tang Dashao took Ah Hu, Ah Leopard and Ah Xing Huzi to form a team of five people, and marched towards the mountains with some equipment.
Ye Qun had the heart to follow, but thinking about his body and the dangers he encountered when he came over, he finally shook his head......
Now is not the time to be a hero, a careless person in the mountains will harm others and himself......
