Chapter 39: Searching for Jade (3)
The car kept moving forward, and there were machines and people digging jade and looking for jade everywhere in the Yulong Kashgar River section on the side.
When there are many people digging jade and looking for jade, a market will naturally be formed. A few shrewd petty traders have done their business here, and the dry riverbed is like a small bazaar, selling everything from drinking water, naan, mutton, fruit, and jade buyers to wait here. Not only that, but there are many buses parked on the side, waiting for the people who are digging jade to find jade here.
On the riverbed, there are countless dimensions. Uygur men, old people, women, and even children are all digging jade with pickaxes on their shoulders and shovels in their hands.
Due to years of mining and picking, the jade on the Hotan River beach is becoming scarce day by day, and it is no longer possible to go west like King Zhou Mu's westward tour to Kunlun to "take jade three times" and "carry ten thousand jades".
A few sturdy dimensions. It takes a few days to dig a hole the size of a room in the old riverbed. Every stone in this pit has been combed by their fingers, and sometimes they may not get a good jade. But even so, they still dig every day, hoping to find what they want from the piles of rocks.
On the market, a half-foot square mutton fat jade pot is worth 2.8 million yuan, and it is still appreciating.
Driven by profits, they ignore the scorching sun above their heads, nor the dust in the sky, but only distinguish and look for Baoyu in the inexhaustible déjà vu, it can be said that these stones carry their dreams and hopes.
All miracles await in the unknown, and this is a deeply fatalistic labor.
Anyone can get nothing, and anyone can get something in return in an instant. Therefore, no one dares to slack off.
On the way to drive, Archibiger told Cai Hongming that a friend of his had invested tens of thousands of yuan to search for jade in the Yulong Kashgar River, but after 40 days, he still found nothing, and this kind of excavation requires 1,000 yuan a day. But when his friend did not hesitate to devote himself to the forty-first day, a 16-kilogram sheep fat jade appeared in front of him.
Looking for jade in Hetian, it is not only about dealing with stones, but also about fighting with one's own endurance and confidence.
The car drove on the provincial highway for an hour and a half, and finally arrived at the place where Cai Hongming was looking for jade.
They got out of the car. Drive the yak down. Tie the things he brought to the yak tightly, say goodbye to Archibig, and embark on a journey to find jade.
Although this side is dozens of kilometers away from Hotan, there are still people who come here to find jade. Cai Hongming and the others rode the yak and walked forward for a short time. I saw an old man holding a piece of jade material he had just found and smiling happily at the sun. The wrinkles on his face are enough to trap mosquitoes.
It was a piece of blue and white jade seed. The texture is delicate, black and white, and the size is large. It's worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, no wonder he's so happy.
This also strengthened the confidence of Cai Hongming and others to find jade.
After walking a little further, Cai Hongming and the others jumped off the yak and began to look for it on the bank of the river. After looking for a while, Cai Hongming suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Let's say okay!" Whoever finds the jade belongs to whom, so as not to fight unevenly when the spoils are obtained. ”
Everyone listened to his words, and they all cast contemptuous eyes, this thing is estimated to be done by him, how could a character like them do this.
Seeing that they didn't care about their words, Cai Hongming didn't bother to say anything, so he buried his head in finding the jade with Shi Wan'er.
In Hotan City, in a villa, a man in a black robe stood respectfully next to Hasa to report.
After the report, Hasa sat down in a luxurious retro recliner and said to him, "Tell them that I only need Ayiguli, and the others will deal with it as they please." ”
"Yes." After the black-robed man finished speaking, he withdrew.
Hasa squinted at the fireplace across from him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Cai Hongming and others walked forward while looking for jade, perhaps because people often came to look for jade on this riverbank, and they searched for a long time but did not find a single piece of jade. Shi Wan'er found a few pebbles in good condition, so she put them away and wanted to take them back to play with those little children. Cai Hongming didn't know what to say when he saw it, didn't he feel burdensome?
The section of the Jade Dragon Kashgar River where they are located is sandwiched between two mountains, and after noon, the sunlight shining through it will be blocked by the high mountains next to it, and it will become dark.
In order to get out of this valley as soon as possible, which was blocked by the mountains from the sun, they hurried to the road after eating at noon.
It was the end of October, and sometimes there were snowflakes in the sky, but fortunately it was not very big, and it stopped. However, the weather is also getting colder, and the temperature is about eight or nine degrees. In addition, this side is blocked by mountains and there is no sunlight, which makes it even more gloomy.
Going forward, it is a darker road than the one that precedes. After this period, the mountains gradually became unable to block the sunlight in the sky and became brighter.
The yak is a very hardy and load-bearing livestock, although it brought a lot of things, plus Cai Hongming and others rode on it, but still leisurely strolling on the dry riverbank. Especially the golden silk yak, although it bears the weight of Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er, it doesn't seem to feel anything, and its steps are still so calm.
Well
Several people were riding yaks forward, when suddenly, there was a slight sound in front of them.
In this quiet place, even the cry of a mosquito can be clearly perceived, so this slight sound is easily heard by Cai Hongming and others. Ji Dong and the others are experienced special forces with all kinds of training, and although they have retired, they are still vigilant. When I heard the sound, I suddenly felt wrong. It wasn't any natural sound, it wasn't the sound of the wind, it wasn't the sound of falling rocks, it wasn't the sound of running water, it was like the sound of people stepping on stones.
Ji Dong frowned, raised his hand, signaled everyone to stop, and then asked Pan Haimin, who was walking in front, to go over and check.
In this uninhabited and uninhabited place, any movement must be treated with care. Because no one cares about it here, the beast nature in people's hearts will burst out infinitely, and killing and robbing are also common things, so everything should be careful.
Pan Haimin got off the ox and looked forward, but after walking a few steps, he saw several people suddenly slashing at him with knives from a stone in front of him.
He hurriedly stepped back. Later, Ji Dong and the others saw it, and hurriedly took out the weapons they were carrying and rushed forward. Cai Hongming, who was sitting on the back of the yak, saw that a flying crane spread its wings, jumped up directly from the yak, and pounced on the group of murderers with long knives.
Shi Wan'er, who was sitting in front of him, was so frightened by his sudden movement that she almost screamed, but after realizing that she shouldn't make a noise to distract everyone at this time, she hurriedly covered her mouth.
The six assailants, armed with long knives, were apparently trained, ruthless, and determined to kill.
It's a pity that in front of Ji Dong and other veterans who retired from the special forces and Cai Hongming, they were like scum, and they were cleaned up casually.
After beating them down, Ji Dong and the others took them to the back of the stone to ask, and saw who dared to seek money and kill in broad daylight. It's a pity that these people's mouths are very hard, whether it is the methods used by Ji Dong and others, or Cai Hongming's misaligned muscles, they just don't say a word, and they endure it very terrifyingly.
It seems that these are not ordinary people, and ordinary people would never be so tough.
Although the men did not say a word, they found a satellite phone from them. With this phone call, you can ask someone to find out the source of the signal, and if you are lucky, you can even locate the other party through the signal.
It's useless to see that these people can't speak. Cai Hongming found an excuse to take these murderers away from where they were, and then put these murderers into the cave blessed land in the jade ding, and buried them under the tea trees as fertilizer. These people are so tough, they were dead soldiers in ancient times, and there is absolutely no reason to let them go. And Cai Hongming is not the kind of person who is killed and pays for smiling faces. Now that you're here, don't think about going back.
The things on these people were all left behind, and in addition to a few long knives, there were also a few small knives.
The long knife is an Arabic scimitar style and looks very sharp.
Chen Dashan, who was on the side, picked up a knife and waved it a few times, feeling good, so he tried to split it at a big stone by the river, and cut off a corner of the stone at once.
Cai Hongming looked at it and felt that the knife was still sharp, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at the stone that had been cut by the knife. For a moment, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
