Chapter 155: The Golden Pimple
There's really gold in this river?!
If I was surprised by the sea of three-colored flowers I saw earlier, the endless river of flowing gold in front of me completely stunned me!
Da Fei swallowed his saliva, stared at "Jin He" intently, pushed me tremblingly, and said softly:
"Brother, pinch me, are our buddies asleep dreaming?"
Although I saw it with my own eyes, I experienced many strange things along the way, and I was a little unsure, Da Fei said, I twisted the root of his thigh fiercely, and he howled out with a "oops" in pain.
The riverside was already crowded with villagers, who, like our group, wore masks to cover their faces and dustpanned for gold.
Da Fei's shouting was loud, and it didn't affect this group of crazy people who were panning for gold, but the man nervously came over and punched him.
"Don't talk, you'll be kicked out if you make a loud noise, hurry up and pan for gold and get to work!"
After instructing this, the man also rushed into the mighty gold panning army with a dustpan!
I had always scoffed at the idea that there was gold in the river, thinking that they were crazy for money, but now I saw that it was true!
Da Fei was greedy for money, and when he saw that there was such a big river of gold flowing, his eyes straightened, and after a while, he also ran over excitedly.
I stood alone on the gentle slope, looking at the entire riverbank densely packed with gold diggers in the fragrance of three-color flowers, stunned, although I couldn't say why, but I always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that everyone was in full swing to pan for gold, I thought for a while, and with the idea of finding out, I also squeezed to the river with a dustpan.
The fellows who came to pan for gold all wore big masks, and many of them wore hats, and only two eyes were exposed on their heads, thinking that they were afraid that they would find gold and that others would recognize them!
Although Da Fei and I are not from this village, we are all busy with our own work, and we all focus on the dustpan in our hands, and we have no time to pay attention to other things.
The strange thing is that looking at the golden flowing gold river, the sand and river water scooped up are ordinary black sand, clear and transparent river water, I learned from others, and shook the dustpan hard, there is nothing but silt in the river sand, there is no gold, I turned my head in disappointment to observe other people, as if they were all the same as me, I saw a scoop missed, and then rushed to tao!
I skimmed the sand, and then scooped it down, several times in a row, and the result was the same, looking at the golden rushing river, how could it be scooped up and become ordinary river sand that was neither golden nor yellow?
Looking at the busy crowd on the riverbank, think about it, if gold is so easy to find, not everyone is rich?
So all afternoon, we were happily scooping sand, pouring it out, and continuing to scoop it....
In the blink of an eye, the sun is setting, high-intensity work, tired I have back pain but nothing to gain, on the other hand, Da Fei, the whole person is full of energy repeating a series of actions, happy to do it!
I wiped my forehead and sweated straight up, an afternoon passed, and I saw that no matter how old these fellows were, they were as tireless as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, like rows of robots with mechanical movements, I couldn't help but sigh, it was really a death for money!!
After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and I scooped again, but found that the sand of the river had become no longer delicate, mixed with many large and small stones, and when I looked up, the river had changed from golden to muddy water!
In the midst of the shock, the villagers who had been tireless all day finally let out a sigh of disappointment, and then, everyone took off their masks and put away the dustpan, and turned around and walked back in unison!
Da Fei was sweating all over his head, still working hard to scoop sand and pick sand, I leaned over and pushed him, and said in a low voice:
"Okay, don't be stupid, everyone has withdrawn!"
Da Fei relieved himself at this time, and finally noticed the turbulent river that had long since changed color, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Huh? Why has the river changed color? ”
I was just about to speak, but the man who brought us here pretended to pass by not far away, still wearing a mask, and gave me a look at the exit, signaling us to go quickly!
I came with Da Fei to pan for gold, not to make a fortune, but seeing what happened today, I didn't care about Da Fei's series of questions, and quickly dragged him out of this flower sea area with the flow of people.
When he came out of the secret place at the entrance, the villagers also scattered home in different directions, and the man saw that no one was paying attention, so he came over, and asked in a whisper:
"Well, have you two found gold?"
I wiped my sweat and shook my head: "No, what about you?" ”
The man's eyes froze, looking unconvinced, and then he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to touch it.
I hurriedly stepped back, grabbed his wrist hard, and asked:
"Brother, where are you?"
The man was caught by me, frowned, and shouted:
"What the is out, let's say okay, you two help me pan for gold, I'll let you out, what's the matter, you have to regret it? Believe it or not, I'm going to find someone to arrest you again! ”
I'm not afraid of his threats, but now that they're in the cellars, I'm still counting on some news coming out of his mouth.
I let go of my hand and pushed the dustpan into his. Said:
"You know we have an agreement in advance, what are you reaching out for?"
"What? I took such a big risk to let you two out, and I took you to the River of Flowing Gold, and you said that if you didn't find gold, you didn't find it? Who knows if it's hidden? No, I'm going to have to do a search! ”
Seeing that he had to inch in, I really hated itchy, but considering the powerful relationship, I still suppressed my anger and gritted my teeth to control my emotions.
Search it, search it, it's all old men anyway, I'll give Da Fei a look, and let this rough man touch his body and his hands up and down.
Speaking of which, this kid is really excessive, this is a fucking body search, every inch of the body, all carefully rubbed over, and quickly looked like he was taken advantage of by a pervert.
When he had searched all the ways and found nothing, and he didn't show much disappointment, he glanced at us both and walked forward.
I hurriedly grabbed him and asked in a low voice:
"Hey brother, the work has been done, the search has been searched, I said before, where are the other group of our people who were locked up by you, can you tell me?"
The man flicked his sleeves and broke free from me, and said:
"One yard to one yard, I'll let you out, you help me do a day's work, this is a bit of a, ask for news?" His eyes flickered, and he continued:
"I want to ask for news, you two will help me dig for gold for another day tomorrow!"
The deal was clearly said at the mouth of the cellar, but I didn't expect this kid to change his mind temporarily, and before I could speak, Da Fei preemptively spoke:
"Okay, then we'll help you find it for another day!"
This man doesn't keep his promises, in normal times, with Dafei's personality and temper, he should be more impulsive than me, but now he doesn't care at all!
I know Da Fei, his Achilles' heel is that he is too greedy for money, today I saw this golden river, and I guess my soul is gone!!
I was about to open my mouth to refuse, but the man immediately interrupted, pointed to the east and said:
"Go east along this road, there is a broken cowshed, you two will spend the night there tonight, don't let anyone see it, I'll pick you up tomorrow!" After speaking, without waiting for me to refute the accosting, after looking around with a thief's eyebrows, he hurriedly trotted away.
Da Fei saw that I was angry, and hurriedly comforted me. The matter has become settled, and after all, the initiative is in the hands of that man, and there is no point in arguing with Da Fei, so after I scolded him a few words, I turned around and went to the cowshed to the east.
As soon as he came out of the cellar, he was dragged to pan for gold, and he was extremely sleepy, and at the end of this day, he was really hungry and stupid.
There is simply an orchard near this cowshed, and it is inconvenient for me and Da Fei to show up with special identities, so I had no choice but to take advantage of the night to go in and steal some fruit.
When we returned to the cowshed, we nestled on the haystack in the corner and nibbled on the fruit, and after a few days, we were disgraced and made like savages
I looked at the stars in the sky with my right hand, and I kept thinking about the flowing golden river I saw today, and I always felt incredible, how could there be a golden river in this barren mountain and wild village? And I paid special attention to the upper reaches of the big river, not to mention the gold mine, there is not even a dirt bag, so why is the river golden, is there really gold?
I was thinking about it, Dafei "clicked", took a bite of the fruit, looked at me meaningfully and said:
"Why, brother, don't you believe there is gold in the river?"
"There's a fart!" I replied angrily.
"After a day of digging for mud and sand, where did you get the gold!"
Da Fei turned over and said with a smile:
"There is no gold in the river, why is the river golden?"
"Who have you heard say that the waters of the rivers are golden, and that there is gold in the waters? I suspect that some precious metals pollute the river water, the villagers have no culture, so they think it is a golden river! ”
Da Fei shook his head vigorously with a smile, took another bite of the fruit, chewed and swallowed it unhurriedly, threw the core of the fruit into the distance, and said excitedly:
"Who said there was no gold in the river, but I saw with my own eyes that in the dustpan of the gold panning guy next to me, a lump of gold as big as a fingernail came out!!"
