When Lu Wan and the others came, they had already asked Duo Ya about the situation in the valley, and knew that there was a river here, and according to the experienced people in the fleet, there were probably gold grains in the sediment in the river, so Lu Wan and the others had made some simple gold panning sieves in advance, which were made of the lightest gauze, and now Feng Shijie took such a sieve and began to pan for gold in the river water.

I saw Feng Shijie put the sediment at the bottom of the river into a sieve, and then gently shook it in the flowing river water, and soon, some of the silt was washed away by the river, leaving only large pieces of gravel and other debris, and among these debris, there was a little golden light hidden in it.

"Gold, there is gold!" Feng Shijie's whole body trembled with excitement at the moment, and he raised his head and shouted at Lu Wan, "Captain, look, we are going to make a fortune this time, we can find a lot of gold grains in a sieve, this river can simply be called a golden river!" ”

When Lu Wan heard Feng Shijie's words, he also jumped into the river excitedly, and then grabbed the sieve and looked at it, and sure enough, he found that there were some small gold grains in it, and he laughed happily, he didn't want dog-headed gold like those ordinary crew members of Curly Hair, after all, as a captain, what he valued was the discovery of the entire gold mine, as long as the news of the gold mine was reported to the association, then in the end, he would definitely not be missing.

At this time, the other crew members also discovered that Feng Shijie had found gold, and they also took the sieve they brought, jumped into the river and began to pan for gold. Speaking of the bottom of this river, I don't know how many years of gold has been accumulated, as long as the average person is not too lucky, it is easy to find some small gold grains, but it is also better than nothing, and the accumulation of a small amount is a lot. You can also find a lot of gold in one day.

It's just that looking at those crazy gold panning companions, there is one person who pouts disdainfully. This person is naturally lucky enough to curly hair, only to see that he has found the dog's head gold since he found it. Although he had already said that he would sell it to the association and hand it over to Captain Lu Wan for safekeeping, but in this valley, he would have to keep it for a while, and after having this piece of dog's head gold, the broken gold dust in the river would naturally not enter his old man's eyes.

Now Curly is thinking about buying a large plantation in Taiwan or Luzon when she gets the money. Then buy a group of slaves, hire a few strong thugs as overseers, and bring the fathers, mothers, wives and children of the family to enjoy the blessings. At that time, he also resigned from the slave hunting team, after all, although this job came quickly, it was too dangerous, he was already a family and a family, and it was time for a few days to have a peaceful birthday.

The gold rush continued until the sun went down, and at Lüvan's repeated urging, the crew reluctantly left. After all, it was not safe in this valley, and just now, they had seen several wolf-like animals running around, just to see so many of them. So they didn't dare to attack, and they all slowly retreated, but if it was night. That's not easy to say.

When they saw Lu Wan and them returning with a full load, the few unlucky people who stayed behind were naturally envious, jealous and hateful. Especially seeing the usually inconspicuous curly hair come back with a piece of dog's head gold with a big human head, which made their eyes red. At the same time, I thought to myself, if I go today, maybe the person who finds the dog's head gold is me.

But no matter how jealous they are, it's useless, after all, the fleet also has its own rules, and Curly has already sold the dog's head gold to the association, and it is kept by the captain Lu Wan himself, so no matter how angry they are, there is no way. But the only thing that comforted them was that after dinner, Lu Wan announced on the spot that they would stay here for a few days, and then take turns to go to the Golden River to pan for gold, and as for the few people on duty today, they would not have to participate in the lottery tomorrow, and would go directly to the valley to participate in the gold panning.

Lu Wan and they lived here for a total of seven days, and every day they would arrange for most of the people to go to the gold panning, but they had to hand over a part of the income from the gold panning, which was agreed in advance, after all, only a part of the crew came to find the gold mine, and there was also a part of the crew to sail around the big island and survey Sunset Bay, their share was indispensable, and this was no exception to the dog's head gold found by Curly Hair.

Seven days later, Lu Wan informed the team that they were going back, after all, they had already used up a day and a half when they came, plus the time to go back, it was exactly ten days, and the fleet sent out should also return, and when they were ready to return home.

Although the crew members of the gold rush are very reluctant, they all have tasks after all, and they have been out for so long, it must be a lie to say that they don't want to go back, especially those who have families and jobs, and they are like arrows, so even if the gold panning income in the past few days is very rich, but it can't stop the crew's homesickness.

Lu Wan and the others went back faster than when they came, because when they came, there was no road in the grass more than one person high, which required them to have someone open the road in front, and they didn't stay on the mountain for a long time, so the road they had opened before had not been flooded by the grass, which saved a lot of effort and time.

But even if it is the old way to go, but this road is also very unpeaceful, the most annoying is the crocodile hidden in the grass by the water, if you are not careful, you may be attacked by this thing, for example, one of the crew members was suddenly attacked by a huge crocodile, fortunately they in order to prevent mosquito bites, so the clothes are thicker, and the crew is also relatively fast, but the crocodile teeth tore the pants, and there are two cuts in the calf.

For this crocodile attack, Duoya is lucky, because as far as she knows, once bitten by a crocodile, the other party will keep turning over, so if the crocodile is really bitten on the calf this time, then whether the person can survive is still two words, but this leg must not be saved. And Lu Wan and the others were all frightened into a cold sweat when they heard it, and they were more careful to avoid the crocodile's attack on the road.

When Lu Wan and the others arrived at Sunset Bay, the fleet of ships left to explore the bay was already waiting for them, and this fleet of only one large ship had already figured out the topography of the bay, and even the place where the port was built was marked on the map.

The day after Lüvin joined the exploration fleet, the fleet sent out to measure the size of the island also returned, but they had sailed to the east, but now they had returned from the east, which meant that they had not completed their task of circumnavigating the island, and when Lüvin asked the head of the detachment, their suspicions were confirmed.

It turned out that after the detachment had separated from them, they had been sailing eastward, but after three days of sailing, they found that in the north of this great island there was a vast island, which, although not as large as this great island, was not much different from the Golden Continent and Borneo, and perhaps even larger than those two continents.

This was a great surprise to everyone in the fleet, but they did not stop on that island, but continued eastward, and finally reached the northeast of the large island, where they were shocked to find a vast area of coral reefs, and even some of the coral islands, and some of the larger islands were inhabited by natives. It's just a pity that the only one in the fleet who can understand the language of the natives is Liu Kata, but he has been following Lu Wan and them, so the detachment can't communicate with the natives on Coral Island, but through contact, it was found that these natives live by fishing and have a gentle temperament, and they didn't attack them.

However, when the fleet arrived at this reef, it was already the fifth day stipulated by Luvin, although the person in charge of this fleet wanted to go forward again, but he was forced by Luvan's order, and the crew did not want to waste any more time, after all, it had been five days, but it had not yet reached the east of the island, which was enough to show that the area of this island was far beyond their imagination.

However, although the crew of the fleet wanted to go back to Lovern, they finally stayed in this coral island group for an extra day for one reason, until the morning of the seventh day, when two large ships with ten small boats began to return home. It was precisely because of this extra day in the coral islands that they came back later than Lu Wan.

The captain of the detachment sent out was named Jiang Lu, one of Lu Wan's most powerful assistants, and after he reported to Lu Wan about the general experience of this voyage, he suddenly smiled and said: "Captain, although we couldn't sail around the whole island this time, we found something very interesting, and we specially brought some to the brothers, but unfortunately this thing is not easy to feed, it is okay in a short time, but it is impossible to bring it to Taiwan to give away." ”

Lu Wanyi was very interested when he heard this, and followed Jiang Lu to their boat. Originally, Lu Wan thought that Jiang Lu and the others were bringing some local knick-knacks, but he didn't expect the other party to take him to the cabin, and in the dozen or so huge buckets placed in the cabin, he finally saw the so-called 'interesting things'.

"Lobster! So big! When Lu Wan saw the things in the special huge bucket, he was startled, and at the same time couldn't help but scream, only to see that in the buckets, there were lobsters with teeth and claws, but the size of these lobsters was too big, each was three or four feet long, and it was estimated that each head had to be at least dozens or hundreds of catties. Lu Wan is a person who has been begging for a living at sea for many years, and there are not a few lobsters he has eaten, but it is the first time he has seen such a big lobster.

Seeing Lu Wan's shocked expression, Jiang Lu smiled a little proudly: "Captain, this is what we found in a coral group in the northeast of the big island, there are many natives living there, among which many natives make a living by fishing shrimp, and this kind of lobster is one of their main foods, the crew are very surprised when they see it, so I deliberately stayed there for one more day, let me catch a lot of this lobster and bring it back, but unfortunately this lobster is not easy to raise, and a lot has died on the road, and now there are only a dozen left."
