Chapter Ninety-Eight: Gold Placer
Today, the sky is blue, the flowers and plants in the garden are green, and the shiny branches and leaves reflect the morning light of the sun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Good weather, good start, and so far, it's all going well, I don't know why Feng Xin sighed, until I lowered my body, and just as I was approaching the mouth of the half-moon spring, I saw the small statue standing at the bottom of the sump clearly.
The statue was tiny, about the size of a hand's hand, and looked like it had been used as a decoration for a spring plug. Feng Xin knelt on one knee and turned sideways so that we could take a closer look.
I looked down and froze for a moment. It was a carved piece of marble, carved with a bull-headed human being, armed with a long sword, and stabbed over the back of a man on the ground.
Qian Cai crouched behind me, very close, "...... Is this a declaration of sovereignty?"
"It is to show that there is a vicious bull in it, and tell us not to trespass." I say.
"Why don't you knock on his door, huh?" Ziche pointed to the flat bottom of the sink.
I gestured to please, "Why don't you knock off? When you're safe to get in, suggest he install a doorbell."
After speaking, I lowered my head and inadvertently met the eyes of the bull head, and at the same time, there was a darkness in front of me, and a considerable force quickly lifted my whole body up.
I didn't even have time to shout loudly, and the whole person hung in the air, and the sudden change frightened me to keep waving my limbs, kicking and kicking, as if a giant above was pinching my head and forcibly lifting me. I was like a worm pinched in the palm of my hand, ready to be slaughtered.
The feeling of being pinched in my head was extremely disgusting, and the muscles in my neck could not support all my weight, and my neck was almost paralyzed, and I suddenly began to have difficulty breathing. In the blink of an eye, I was thrown out again, and I screamed a few times, but I still couldn't feel the response of the others.
The fear of the unknown came to my heart, and the next second, I seemed to be thrown into a sand pit, and the soft and smooth sand surrounded and squeezed me, as if I was crushed in a quilt. There wasn't much air to breathe into my nose, and all that poured in was the fine sand, and I opened my eyes to see where I was, but my eyes couldn't open because of the sand scraping and stinging.
I couldn't see anything, my head was buzzing, and my body's thirst for oxygen prompted me to open my mouth to breathe, but instead of breathing in the air, I ate a lot of sand, and the bitter taste eroded the whole mouth, and the spicy throat was numb, and the strong bitter taste was swallowed and stimulated by the stomach to stir constantly. I could only hold my breath and wave my hands desperately, paddling hard with my feet, urging myself to rush up like swimming.
And I fell into a big hourglass, and the sand kept falling, and my body continued to sink down with the sand.
Suddenly, I felt like I was grabbing something.
I couldn't open my eyes, I didn't know what it was, but I could feel that it seemed to be swimming further up.
Whatever I caught, I clung to it and didn't waste any chance, this is the only driftwood out there.
Then, as soon as my body lightened, I was taken out by the thing and rolled solidly to the ground.
"Ugh! Don't pull me...... Oh! Don't pull me down!"
The voice of the humble food rang in my ears.
"Huh...... W-Whose ass is this? Get out of the way."
It is the sound of a sub-car.
"Chen Yunran, I told you to stop pulling."
In an instant, I was hit the forehead, and I suddenly opened my eyes, and I was in a daze.
A gust of cold wind slapped on my face, and the moment I knew that I was fine, my five senses suddenly returned, and they were all focused on my sense of taste, and I almost choked with the bitter and salty taste in my throat.
"I'm leaning on me, bah, bah." I threw my head on my stomach and cursed as I vomited, "Phew, what's this? Almost fucking choked!"
When I was tired of scolding and came back to my senses, I realized that the four of us were thrown into another space, in a white world, and it was the white ...... that we had just been thrown in Sand...... Nautical mile?
"These look like salt." Ziche licked the crystals on the corners of his mouth and said, he stood up and patted the salt sand on his body, and wisps of white crystals slipped off him like snow.
"Salt? Really? Salt?" I couldn't believe it, I licked it again, staring at the pure white that was as vast as the sea.
Feng Xin sorted out the backpack that was submerged in salt and said lightly, "Well, this piece is indeed all salt, yes."
The palate in my mouth also reminded me that the incomparably shiny crystals in front of me were really salt. I don't know if it's a psychological factor, but the smell of the air actually feels salty and spicy.
"The water has evaporated, hasn't it?" I asked, and my heart said it wasn't particularly hot here.
Feng Xin shook his head, "That's what I want to do here."
At this time, Qian Cai walked forward with the salt sand path that he was staring at, and said with the corners of his mouth pulling, "I think, to be precise, most of it is salt."
I saw her walk to the shallows and kneel on the ground, and pick up a handful of shiny white salt with her open hand. Qian Yan just gently held Ren Salt Sand and slowly flowed down between his fingers, and after observing and studying it for a while, he exclaimed as if he had seen something.
"Huh, you three, come on." She turned her head with a shiny look in her eyes, beckoned to us excitedly, and pointed to the salt in her hand and shouted, "There's a lot of gold in this salt."
"What?"
When I heard the salt sand mixed with gold, I was startled and my steps became brisk. I threw all the uncomfortable, nausea, and vomiting feelings in the back of my mind, and ran over in three steps and two steps. Seeing that we were all around, Qian Cai picked up a handful of white salt sand again, and shook his wrist slightly from side to side with considerable skill, shaking off the lighter weight of white salt, and after a few seconds, she saw only a small piece of yellow and bright gold sand left in her palm.
"Damn, gold, you said this, are you sure?" Surprised by this scene, I couldn't speak a complete sentence at all, and I was staring at the car with an unbelievable face.
Feng Xin frowned, rubbed the yellow sand in the palm of his palm with his index finger, and asked, "Is it pure?"
Qian Yan swept his palm, then pinched some and put it in his mouth, making a slight grinding sound.
Then, she nodded affirmatively.
I gasped, "Hah! I said, how can anyone in this kind of ghost place be willing to revisit the old place again and again, it turns out that it is because there is gold to dig out at once." The discovery of Qian Cai can be regarded as a solution to our doubts, no wonder those people don't even look at the relief art outside, they are not interested in it at all, and they think that they are bent on hanging the relationship between these gold sands.
While I admit that I was thrilled to know that it was gold, I was more concerned about whether I could take it with me.
Another biting cold wind blew away the joy of finding gold, and I began to look around with puzzled eyes, this strange environment where gold and salt are the sea.
