Chapter 16: The Shadow in the Jade Mine
After more than ten minutes, the hole had been dug to a depth of one meter and a half. I was secretly nervous. The hole just now is two meters away, and it seems that chalcedony has been dug up, and it is estimated that there will be chalcedony so deep. Just as he was thinking, Wan Bao came out of the hole and said, "In order to save trouble, the digging is too narrow." I'm tired of making holes in it, and I'm tired of my wrists."
I hurriedly pulled out a cigarette for him and helped him light the fire. Wan Bao smoked for a while and stretched out his head to look at Old Farmer Feng and them. The three boys were still standing there. Wan Bao was annoyed, so he shouted at them and asked Old Farmer Feng to bring water and drink it. I asked Feng Lao Nong to be full, so he didn't hand his water to Wanbao. I want Old Farmer Feng to hold my tank. This old boy, do you a favor and let you go over to eat meat, you are good. It's going to be an uncle over there. Tell me to wait here for Wanbao, this bastard.
When the three of them heard the shouting, they hurriedly ran over. Feng Laonong took out the kettle and shook it in front of Wan Bao, twisted his mouth, and poured it head-down. Not a drop of water could be left in it. Wan Bao's face was displeased. I was afraid that at this juncture, Wan Bao would not hurry up to dig chalcedony because he was angry, so he handed him his own. The kid was not polite, took the water and drank it with his neck tilted. When he drank it and handed it to me, I found that there was at most half a liter of water in it. My mother, you're really welcome!
Return the flashlight to Feng Laonong. Wan Bao pulled out his dog's leg and ate it again. After eating, he sat at the entrance of the cave and smoked a cigarette.
After smoking a cigarette, Wan Bao went into the cave again to dig for jade. The three of us had nothing to do, so we discussed going around and playing in another place for a while. Just as he was about to leave, Wan Bao shouted inside, "There you have it! "When we heard Wan Bao's cry, we were in high spirits. My mother, I've been in this hole for so long, and I've finally dug up the legendary chalcedony! The three of us immediately gathered around and stood at the entrance of the cave. Feng Lao Nong had already reached out and handed over the plastic pot and bamboo pole pipe. After Wan Bao turned around and took it, he picked up the chalcedony inside.
Because the entrance to the cave is very small, Wan Bao has already blocked the entrance of the cave by crowding in alone, and we can't see the situation inside, but we all stretch our heads long, trying to see what kind of chalcedony looks. But he couldn't see anything.
Wan Bao said inside, "How many of these things do you want to take?" Feng Laonong considered that the three of them were injured, and he didn't know how much it would be enough. So he told him to fill the pot. Wan Bao scolded inside: "This is squeezing oil, when will it be full." Feng Laonong comforted him and told him not to rush and take his time. But Wan Bao said that this thing was like a person spitting, drop by drop. This 10-liter pot can't be filled without a handful of hours. So he let Feng Laonong get in, help him, and he came out to rest.
At this juncture, Feng Lao Nong didn't dare to say anything. Allowing Wan Bao to crawl out of the hole, he got inside and held the pot in his hand to catch the chalcedony. As they went in and out, I saw the bamboo pole and pipe stuck in the hole. One end of the tube is slowly dripping out a clear liquid. And the plastic pot is just now able to cover the bottom of the pot. Looking at the pot, it looks like a pale green liquid. Maybe it's the flashlight reflected by the jade mine. It's really slow to drip, but it's okay. As long as there is, then don't be afraid that it is slow. It's a big deal, a few people take turns to pick up in the hole.
Feng Lao Nong cried bitterly inside, and asked Wan Bao to dig up the stone cave a little bigger, so that he could squat there to pick up the chalcedony. It's too hard to lie in a hole like this. But Wan Bao disagreed, on the grounds that he would have to be tired for a long time to dig such a big hole. The two of you pounded the paste one by one. Later, Wan Baoer was annoyed, so she smoked a cigarette and stopped paying attention to Feng Laonong. Seeing that no one answered his words, Feng Laonong closed his beak.
At this moment, Wan Bao tilted his head to look into the distance, and asked me for a flashlight. I don't know what this kid is going to do, but I don't dare to offend him. Hurry up and hand him the flashlight. He flashed his flashlight and shone it at the place where we had stolen the beef. Then he said something strange. I thought to myself, is this kid also dazzled? Could it be that you see a shadow?
Wan Bao rubbed his eyes and looked over there again. We also looked at that place and didn't find anything after looking at it for a long time. Wan Bao tied the dace shovel around his waist, turned off the flashlight and gave it back to me, then lowered his head and put a cigarette in his pocket.
I turned off the flashlight and stuffed it into my pocket, pulled out the lighter, and lit a cigarette for Marbour. At the moment when I lit a cigarette for Wan Bao, I seemed to see a black shadow on the wall in the distance. I twisted my face and looked carefully, and seven or eight black shadows were reflected in the jade mine in the distance. I hurriedly turned my face to tell Wanbao. I saw that Wan Bao had not lit the cigarette next to the lighter, and his eyes were staring straight over there.
He also saw it? I took back the lighter and looked at Yang Kexing and Wu Feifei. The two of them stared over there, too.
I saw that the black shadow seemed to move, slowly becoming clear and tall. The one closest to him was about the same height as an adult. It seems to have a flat head, and the arms and legs are clearly visible, but the facial features on the face cannot be seen clearly. I don't know if this was yesterday, but I felt a hint of danger surrounding us.
