Chapter Forty-Eight: The Hidden Gold Mine
Slowly, I walked deeper and deeper, and gradually, I saw various paths, and there were many stones scattered on the paths, all of which were small.
Cheng Zijin motioned to Ma Xiaoyang to wait, walked over, picked up a stone, waved his hand, a golden light flashed, Cheng Zijin looked happy, then closed his eyes, and the small stones on the road jumped.
Slowly, golden light that seemed to be the size of an eyelash flew from all directions, and after a while, a small piece of metal the size of a matchstick gathered in Cheng Zijin's hand.
"It seems that the road is right, this is the path of the villagers stealing ore from the mine in the mountain, the ore has gold in it, and the content is not small, follow the path, maybe, we can find the mine. Cheng Zijin said with a smile.
"What if we find the mine, we can't get in!" Ma Xiaoyang said, "If only Zhu Jiayi was here, let's make a hole directly from the ground." ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as the distance is not particularly far, I can sense it, although it is a little troublesome, but I can always get it out, this time, safety first, don't you have a purple gold ingot, what is the situation in Wudang Mountain, you tell me, we will talk while walking." Cheng Zijin was visibly relieved.
"Do you know, Qigong, it's true!" Ma Xiaoyang began to talk heartlessly about the opportunities in Wudang Mountain.
In fact, for Ma Xiaoyang, he didn't have such a special feeling about his uncle's incident, because he never thought about what would happen to him if his uncle had an accident, especially when he heard his aunt say that his uncle was fine, but it depends on how it works in the later stage, if everything goes well, it will be good to compensate, it won't be too much, it's Li Xin who is too nervous, so he is not so worried, this time he came out to find gold, just a natural idea of wanting to share the family's worries, watching Li Xin go out of the house with red eyes, Ma Xiaoyang felt distressed for no reason, and Ma Xiaoyang also knew the situation in his own family, the small money was okay, and tens of millions would not hurt his muscles and bones, It's just that this time his uncle's project, if there are too many people involved, the compensation alone will have to be millions, the number is too big, his uncle is not bad, but the eldest aunt is instigating behind day by day, learning to take advantage of others, he didn't go to much school, and he came out to make a small project to live, relying on Ma Xiaoyang's father and aunt, it can be regarded as rich, but this time, if it is serious, it can really be said to be a catastrophe for his uncle's family, so Ma Xiaoyang can also understand Li Xin's mood.
Walked on the road for more than an hour, there was no special destination, both of them just knew that this was a big mining area, but where it was, no one knew, this matter is not easy to inquire, so they can only choose a direction to go, as long as they go to the mountains, they will always find a place.
The legs and feet of the two are faster than ordinary people, walking, an hour, ordinary people have to walk for three or four hours, the path in the jungle, basically a walk, cut the plants, get out of the dirt road, there will be new plants growing in some places, and there is no sense of direction, people who are not familiar with the road walk in, it is easy to get lost, mainly because these paths are where it is easy to walk there, may be twisted and twisted in the early stage, and then lead to the destination.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and they didn't say why they were looking for gold, but Ma Xiaoyang talked in detail about his experience in Wudang Mountain, in addition to not being able to play a set of punches on the spot, he said the content of Jinggong in detail, including his own feelings, and Cheng Zijin listened very carefully.
In the mountains, it is very quiet, there are not even birds around, occasionally, far away, there are one or two owls or other animal calls, hazy, even more silent around, the night is too deep, at this moment, it seems that the entire mountain, there are only the voices of Ma Xiaoyang and Cheng Zijin.
Walking and walking, Ma Xiaoyang unconsciously caught a figure and was startled, in this deep mountain and old forest, at this point, there is a person, it is not a ghost, it is a ghost.
"Wait a minute!" Ma Xiaoyang grabbed Cheng Zijin.
As soon as the ability unfolds, sweep through.
"I'll wipe it!" Ma Xiaoyang shouted involuntarily.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a team of people over there, actually patrolling, it seems, there is still a robbery, and there is a stick on the back. ”
"How far away from us?"
"It's hard to say, it's a kilometer at the farthest, and it's 500 meters at the latest. ”
"We walked quietly, and there were patrols, which means that we are getting closer and closer to the mine. Cheng Zijin said with a smile.
"Why don't you follow them? They come out on patrol, and they have to go back. Ma Xiaoyang suggested.
"Okay, keep an eye on them, it's really not good, let's go up!" Cheng Zijin pointed to the top of his head, and Ma Xiaoyang understood what it meant.
Hanging far away, a distance of one kilometer, in fact, is very far, placed on flat ground, ordinary people may not be able to see how many people are walking, let alone still in this complex environment in the jungle at this time.
The stone slab at his feet was covered with moss, slippery, rotten and rotten, and no one cared about it, just fermenting freely in the woods, the humid air, the quiet and dark jungle.
The two didn't speak, only heard footsteps and heartbeats, Ma Xiaoyang used his best ability to hang the group of people from a distance, and after about half an hour of walking like this, a building appeared.
The two climbed the big tree, and suddenly the front of them opened up to be a valley of a small river.
The house was built on the slope of the mountain, all of which were made of colored steel tiles, and everyone was already in the mountain, but there was a special looking hill next to the building, there was not much vegetation on it, the rocks were exposed, and there was a hole in it.
In the distance, the sound of generators can be heard, and the entire complex, where it is exposed, is blackly lit, but the light in the cave can be seen, and there is a huge pile of ore next to it.
The crowd of patrolling men came out of the woods, and the two of them looked condescendingly, and there was a path where they walked, and if you looked closely, it was a circle, and they walked around this camp, a dirt road, full of potholes, and covered with all kinds of crushed ore, like a knife, cutting into this circle from the outside, and other than that, at least this place seemed to have no other road to connect with the outside world.
"Looks like he's not a regular player. Ma Xiaoyang said half-jokingly.
His aunt has done this, he has never seen a pig run, and he has never eaten pork?
"Look at that, what is it?" Cheng Zijin pointed to a huge pool.
"It should be alchemy, they can't get a smelter out of this wild way, just soak it in various chemical potions, and then I don't know how to get the gold, which has a great impact on the surrounding environment, especially the water quality, it is estimated that the fish and others in this river will die." ”
Cheng Zijin nodded, indicating that he understood.
"So what do we do?"
"I can't feel the gold yet, if I get closer, I'll get it, let's go back the way we came, in the woods, they can't catch up with us." Cheng Zijin said.
"Okay, I'll see, there's no one on the right, there are a lot of people on the left, especially the two-story building, let's touch it from the right. ”
"Do you know how far it is?"
"We should be two kilometers from the hole, about a little five or six from the houses. Where are we going? Cave or up to the top of the mountain?"
"It's close, it doesn't matter where it is, it's just within my control. ”
