Chapter 1138 Blizzard
Gu Tong said cautiously: "Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, the climate in this mountain is changeable, and in this month, it will snow when it is said to snow, we can't be careless." ā
"It's superfluous to worry about this now, if we are unlucky, others will be even more unlucky, now worrying about this, it is better to find a few more pieces of jade." Wei Changqing said.
Han Peacock also laughed and said, "I'm worried that they will find so many stones, how to transport them out." ā
Looking at the many people who had already gained from entering the upper reaches of the creek, Han Peacock was a little surprised.
There are many ravines and ravines here, but the streams formed by these ravines are all very narrow, so the places where the water flows are very narrow and shallow.
Although the river channel of seven or eight hundred meters downstream was scraped by Han Peacock, he didn't have time to do it upstream, mainly because the excavator was not easy to go up, and relying on himself, he couldn't collect much, so Han Peacock simply didn't care about it.
So, now the streams in those small ravines are full of pebbles of all sizes.
It's not like it's outside, it's like the Jade River on the other side of Hotan, where there are many large excavators digging stones, and it is said that the stones here have been turned three or four times......
Even in that place, there are still many people looking for stones in the riverbed, let alone here.
Entering this newly developed place, there are pebbles everywhere, and some mountains and rivers that are not of good quality can be easily found.
However, these are small materials, because the slightly larger stones will definitely roll down the bottom of the mountain, rather than staying halfway up the hill.
The stones were very beautiful, so as soon as they walked into the riverbed, they were attracted by all kinds of stones, and after a while they picked up a bunch of them.
Then he kept throwing away the first ones and the ones he picked up later, but every stone he threw was as heartbreaking as throwing away a treasure.
In fact, many people pick up the most ordinary stones. Only those moist, semi-transparent, yellow skin, and can mark on the glass are the sub-materials, but it is definitely not easy to find a piece of mutton fat jade from these few sub-materials.
Over the next few days, there were more and more people here. And those people harvested more and more, until all kinds of pebbles were piled up everywhere outside, and by this time, their entire expedition had all gathered here.
Seven days passed, and Qian Mingyuan and Gu Tong's worries appeared, and when the scheduled time came, no one proposed to go out of the mountain.
Instead, more and more people are going deep into the mountains, and now. More than a dozen people have already climbed to higher altitudes, and they haven't returned for three days.
Although Han Peacock and the others wanted to leave at the scheduled time, they could only mention yƬ and could not leave alone.
Finally, after the tenth day, Lao Hu decided to leave, but they waited for another three days for the return of those who had gone to the top of the mountain. before deciding to go down the mountain.
All of them were carrying large bags and small bags, and the pack horses around them carried more weight than when they came. They walked down the hill with difficulty.
"They've had a good harvest." Wei Changqing leaned over Han Peacock and said.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "We are all the same. ā
Wei Changqing glanced at Gu Tongdao, who was frowning: "Old Gu, don't worry, we just came out of the mountain a week late, it's not a big deal." ā
Han Peacock also comforted: "Isn't there no change in the sky now? ā
Qian Mingyuan stopped and said, "I'm afraid it's not optimistic." ā
Gu Tong also sighed and said, "The sky will definitely change in the next few days." ā
"Most likely, Lao Hu knows the situation here best. If it weren't for the change of the sky, he wouldn't have gone out of the mountain now. "Qianming is far away.
"What?" Wei Changqing looked at Qian Mingyuan: "Qian always said that Lao Hu didn't go out of the mountain because he had gained too much, but because he knew that he was going to become a genius?" ā
Qian Mingyuan nodded and said, "No matter how much you harvest, it's a big deal to hide it and ship it out next year." If it weren't for the fact that they knew that the sky was going to change, I don't think they would have come out of the mountains. ā
"Okay, don't say more, anyway, it's already like this, let's speed up and get out of the mountain as much as possible." Gu Tongdao.
After walking for a day, everyone was also a little tired, except for Han Peacock and Huangshan occasionally talking, Qian Mingyuan and Gu Tong, who couldn't hold on, would ride on their horses to rest for a while, mainly because their pack horses were not heavy, and most of their harvest was put away by Han Peacock.
Stop and go, and after walking for three days in a row, they walked out of the mountain, but when they went down the mountain, Han Peacock and the others were dumbfounded, this was not the place where they entered the mountain at all.
Qian Mingyuan was not surprised: "This side is relatively flat, so it is easier for pack horses to come out of the mountain from this side." ā
Thinking of the Sheep Intestine Canyon, Han Peacock understood, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, if the pack horse is too heavy, there is no way to go down the mountain from that side.
"If we weren't very familiar with this road, we wouldn't have to follow the big army." Gu Tongdao.
"I said you don't want to go out of the mountain early!" Wei Changqing suddenly realized.
"Look, Lao Hu has been prepared." Qian Mingyuan pointed to the puffs of smoke and dust not far away.
"Is that a convoy?" Han Peacock said.
It was indeed a convoy, all heavy trucks, and all of them, plus pack horses, had to be taken away at once, so the vehicles were large and the load was larger.
"Everyone hurry up, the blizzard is coming, we have to get out of the mountains before it snows, or we will be in trouble." At this time, Hu Ke's voice came.
"We're all down the mountain, will there be trouble in the event of a blizzard?" Wei Changqing followed Han Peacock into a car.
Qian Mingyuan said: "There is no village in front of here, there is no store in the back, if it is stopped here by the heavy snow, what will we eat?" ā
"Don't talk about eating, I'm freezing to death." Gu Tongdao.
Wei Changqing said with a smile: "Anyway, I've already got in the car, so it's not fast to drive out of the mountains?" Now that I can finally rest for a while, I'm going to squint. ā
Several people stopped talking, all closed their eyes and recuperated, I don't know how long it took, Han Peacock was pushed awake by Huangshan.
"Boss, we might be in trouble." Just when Han Peacock was in a daze and didn't know how long he had been asleep, Huangshan Road.
"What's wrong?" Han Peacock was afraid of waking up the other people, so he asked in a low voice.
"It didn't take long for you to fall asleep, the weather changed, and now it's snowing." Huang Shan said with a bitter face.
Lao Hu's father and son are really crow's mouths, Qian Mingyuan and Gu Tong have said so many times, but it has not snowed, and Hu Ke shouted loudly, and it really snowed.
At this time, Wei Changqing also woke up, looking at the heavy snow outside the car, his face became very ugly, just now he swore that it was okay, but he didn't expect it to be out of trouble not long after.
At this time, Han Peacock looked forward with the windshield, even if the headlights were on, the visibility was no more than 5 meters now, and the wind was still very strong, making those snowflakes rustle on the body.
Now it was one of Wei Changqing's bodyguards driving, he had been staring intently at the road in front of him, and the driver, who was supposed to be resting, didn't dare to sleep at this time, he was sitting on the side, observing the road situation for the bodyguard, and reminding him of the places to pay attention to along the road.
"Big brother driver, is there a road hotel nearby?" Wei Changqing asked.
The driver shook his head, the next road hotel will probably have to travel more than 100 kilometers, if it is usual, it will be an hour, but the weather conditions are so bad now, it is not necessarily when to arrive.
"It's okay, we'll change the car for a while, anyway, we have navigation, and we follow the big army, so we won't go the wrong way." Han Peacock smiled and comforted.
"That's good, so that the driver can also take a little rest, driving in this weather is very tiring." Qianming is far away.
Just as they were finishing, the car came to a halt.
"What's wrong?" Han Peacock asked.
"Boss, the convoy ahead has stopped." Wei Changqing's other bodyguard said.
"The boss is really sorry that we didn't collect the status of the trip." The bodyguard who was driving said apologetically.
Arranging the boss's trip, their bodyguards should have been responsible, but I didn't expect such a big mistake.
"It's okay, how can I blame you for this?" Wei Changqing waved his hand indifferently.
"You don't work in the meteorological department, so you know so well." Gu Tongdao.
Huang Shan smiled bitterly and said: "As bodyguards, we should know this." ā
"The snowstorm here came very suddenly, and it is estimated that the National Meteorological Department will not predict it so accurately, okay, don't be sorry, the convoy in front has started." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"In such bad weather, more than 100 kilometers, we will definitely not be able to walk for a while, and we must be prepared to stay in the wind and snow for a night." Gu Tongdao.
Qian Mingyuan's face became very ugly, if they couldn't find a safe camp today, they would be in big trouble, this trouble was not simply a matter of staying in the wind and snow for a night, but a question of whether they could get out of this blizzard.
In this environment, the car can't be turned off at all, otherwise, the water tank will freeze, not to mention people.
Now, regardless of people and cars, if the snow does not stop, soon the road in the mountains will not be able to walk, and when the time comes, they will have to turn off the fire, so while there is not much snow now, they can only rush as much as possible.
The speed of the car was not fast, but it was always moving forward, and when it was changed to Han Peacock driving, he knew how difficult it was to drive in this weather.
It's only 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but it's already dark outside, and all you can see is the snowflakes flying in the sky.
Not only is the visibility reduced, but the wind is also very strong, driving is not only physically active, but also very brain-draining, you have to improve your attention, you can't have a little mistake, otherwise, you will probably have to drive the car into a ditch.
The strong wind stirred the snowflakes and hit the windows as if to blow the car up, so the car was wobbly and difficult to grasp. (To be continued......)
