Feeling bad in his heart, the smile on Lao Hu's face was gone, he walked quickly to the river, and without any preparation, he went directly into the water.

The water here is waist-deep, but the feet are very soft, which makes Lao Hu startled, and his fiery heart just now began to chill.

As soon as Lao Hu entered the water, the people who followed him rushed to the river, for fear that they would be one step slower than others.

These people have more or less experience in picking up jade, so they are very engaged in searching for each stone with a very serious hunched waist, with the spirit of preferring to pick up by mistake rather than miss it.

In their "expectant" eyes, each stone seemed to become every piece of jade.

But when they got to the river, they were a little overwhelmed.

The river is too clean, isn't it?

Isn't the Jade River all pebbles?

Even if there is not jade everywhere, there should be pebbles?

But what's going on here?

Looking at the turbid river and the riverbed with muddy and sandy accumulation, everyone was a little dumbfounded, even Wei Changqing and the others were no exception.

Yesterday it wasn't like this, it used to be full of stones, but now, all that's left is mud and sand, not even a pebble the size of a little finger.

"What's going on?" Feeling under his feet, it was soft, and it didn't look like there was a stone at all, so Lao Hu shouted out in surprise.

He couldn't help but be surprised, although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but in every stream in this mountain, there were countless pebbles, that is, among these pebbles, there were exquisite Ziyu, but what was the situation now?

Lao Hu raised his head, wanting to see what the expressions of Wei Changqing and the others were, but he was also surprised when he saw it, it seemed that they also knew that the situation here was wrong.

"Dad!" Hu Ke's cry. woke up the pensive old Hu.

Lao Hu waved his hand and said: "Go upstream, I still don't believe it, is it like this here." ”

As soon as the father and son came ashore, they saw the Han peacock coming down from upstream.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Old Hu is here too?" It seems that ginger is still old and spicy, and we just found the jade here, so you have found it too. ”

"Is there really jade here?" Hu Ke said.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "There really is." Look, I'm supposed to be white jade, right? ”

Han Peacock has an egg-sized stone in his hand, the stone is white and clear, and there is a little yellowish skin shell on the outside, if this is not white jade, then there is no white jade in this world.

Seeing the white jade in Han Peacock's palm, the Hu family's father and son, including the people they brought, were all sensational. They looked behind Han Peacock, and their eyes were all fanatical.

"Let's go and have a look." Lao Hu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed towards the direction where Han Peacock was coming.

Han Peacock looked at the people who left in a hurry and shook his head.

"Brother Han, over there," Wei Changqing said.

Han Peacock whispered: "I have scraped all this flat riverbed, and if other places produce jade." You have to climb the mountain. ”

After speaking, Han Peacock pointed to the surrounding mountains.

The terrain here is a bit special. The surrounding peaks are very high, and if you don't go up the small hill outside, you can't see the river inside, and if you don't enter the river, you won't know that this is a small canyon.

And because the canyon is so small, the surrounding peaks are very crowded. The surrounding peaks are very high, so the canyon is even narrower.

Although a canyon has been formed here, there is no too flat river here, and except for the surrounding seven or eight hundred meters, there is a river channel that has been corroded by snow water for a long time. Elsewhere, it's a ravine.

And these ravines are straight up, so if there is jade on the mountain, then you can only rush down the ravine, and these ravines are too steep to find it up the ravine.

"Let's go! Let's go too, or it would be too suspicious. Qian Mingyuan said.

The environment here, Wei Changqing and the others were naturally clear, and they were relieved to know that all the stones that had fallen from the surrounding peaks over the years had been put away by Han Peacock.

Even if there were still some jade, there would not be much else rolling down in those small ravines.

The people brought over by the Hu family's father and son are not too complicated, they should be some people who have a good relationship with him, and there are also scholars.

Since it was a long walk to get here, only boys and not a single girl came.

After the crowd dispersed, some experienced ones had already gained something.

Han Peacock and the others didn't pay too much attention to it, but they didn't gain much.

After a while, Wei Changqing and the others were all disinterested and returned to Han Peacock.

A few days ago, they chose the best among the countless rough stones, but today it is not easy to see even a stone, this contrast is too great, so they are not interested in treasure hunting.

"Those students are so cute, every time they pick up a few pieces, they come to me and ask me if it's jade, hehe! They are so cute, how can there be so much jade waiting for them to pick up. Wei Changqing sat on a rock and said with a smile.

Huang Shan also smiled and said: "There is a young man who is still a little embarrassed, he secretly gave me two small pieces of jade, and his expression is as if he has ceded a valuable gem. ”

Han Peacock said: "Looking at their appearance, it looks like they are going up the mountain!" ”

"Since there is jade here, Lao Hu and his son must take people up the mountain." Wei Changqing said with a sneer.

Gu Tong hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Xiao Han, can you be sure that one of these people brought the wolves last night?" ”

Han Peacock smiled and said, "A few of us have been here for a few days, but no one has gone back to inform the others that there is a harvest here, and they came over so quickly, shouldn't they be suspicious?" ”

Gu Tong sighed and said, "I tried a few words, and Lao Hu didn't deny it, but after all, I can't be sure." ”

"No matter who it is, there's always someone who wants to use the wolves against us." Han Peacock said.

Wei Changqing said: "What are you doing with this, no matter who wants to deal with us, we can't let him go." ”

Han Peacock nodded and said, "I can't do anything now, look at what their cousin is saying!" ”

Wei Changqing sneered: "Unless they can bring in large excavation machinery, otherwise, they will definitely not gain much." ”

As soon as Wei Changqing said this, several people in Huangshan laughed, Han Peacock was the excavator used last night, and if the Hu family father and son did not have an excavator to continue digging deep into the river, they would not even find a stone in the river, so there would be no gain.

However, in the deep mountains, it is not possible for ordinary people to transport excavators, because here, there is no other way than to use heavy helicopters to lift machinery.

"Do they really want to go up the mountain?" At this time, Huang Shan pointed to several humanitarians.

Gu Tong frowned and said, "Our camp is surrounded by icebergs about 6,000 meters above sea level, such a high altitude, ordinary people can't stand it." ”

Qian Mingyuan said: "If you want to explore the surrounding peaks, you can only find the birthplace of jade by establishing a base camp here, going upriver from here, and approaching the snow-capped mountains." ”

Gu Tongdao: "The mountain rocks in this area belong to the middle and late acid magnesia marble, and the jade metallogenic belt formed 250 million years ago, the altitude at that time was very low, due to the violent movement of geological structures, the jade ore belt is now tightly covered by Quaternary glaciers, even if you want to find ore points, it is not so easy." ”

Looking into the distance from here, the snow-capped peaks of the Kunlun Mountains are clearly visible.

The glacier tongue here is stunning, 6 to 8 meters thick, and these crystalline glacial deposits are ideal breeding grounds for jade.

Every summer, ice water carries a large amount of jade, spit out from the deep tongue, and continuously replenishes the surrounding rivers with jade.

Here, the ice cap of the Kunlun Mountains is close at hand, with an altitude of 5,400 meters, and the surrounding slightly higher mountains are more than 6,000 meters above sea level.

At such an altitude, the locals dare not say that they can adapt to it, let alone those experts and scholars.

"They should be well prepared." Qianming is far away.

Huang Shan said: "75L backpacks, tents, down sleeping bags, high-top shoes, low-top hiking shoes, moisture-proof mats, walking sticks, knee pads, thermos pots, jackets, thermal gloves, sunglasses, medicines, food, etc., are about 28 kilograms, and they are quite well prepared." ”

Han Peacock laughed and said, "Regardless of them, we still do whatever we need to do." ”

"Brother Han, do you think we should also go up the mountain to have a look?" There were a lot of jade stones they found, and these sub-jades must have rolled down from the mountains.

Judging from their harvest, there must be jade mines in the surrounding mountains, and now they are fine anyway, so it is better to join in the fun.

Han Peacock said: "There are too many water sources in this small river under our feet, it is really difficult to find, and the surrounding mountains are too high, not to mention that it is not easy to find a mining site, and even if we find it, the cost of jade mining is too high, so we are still ready to prepare for lunch!" ”

They haven't been idle these days, and now that they have time, they might as well rest for a while.

After waiting for a few days, regardless of whether the Hu family's father and son have gained or not, they have all changed out of the mountain.

It's been almost a week since they entered the mountain, and the time they planned was half a month, so there was still a week to go, and it would take two or three days to get out of the mountain, so they could only search in this mountain for three or four days.

Qian Mingyuan said: "I just said that we can't be too greedy, so we should rest more if we have time, otherwise we will be too tired to go down the mountain." ”

Gu Tong also spoke: "This year, because we are waiting for Lao Hu and his son, we are late in the mountain, if we don't go out of the mountain when the time comes, it is very likely to encounter rain and snow, if we really meet, then we will be unlucky." ”

Wei Changqing frowned, did Gu Tong find something?

Otherwise, how could he have mentioned the change of heaven several times?

Before Wei Changqing could ask, Han Peacock spoke: "Old Gu, are you too worried?" (To be continued......)
