Chapter 422: Don't pretend, pretend to be struck by lightning
After walking along the mountain for dozens of kilometers, he came to the place that Zhu Yu had confirmed earlier.
He remembered two encounters here, but they were both resolved.
Whether it's a human or an insect, it's them who live to the end.
The car drove into an open field, a place that had not been touched by that small encounter.
"Let's camp here at night." Zhu Yu said to Xie Ermiao, "There are many shrubs in this area, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and wolves. This open area is relatively rare, and the place is more suitable. β
"Okay." It's not that Shermion hasn't camped outside, and he's as good as a stream, "It's just that the water source is not easy to find." β
"After all, we are early explorers, and we are not working here for a long time." Zhu Yu smiled, "If you need to work for a long time, there is a river more than ten kilometers away." It's really not impossible to dig a well. β
Although the surface of the sand here is relatively large, Zhu Yu has already understood that there is still groundwater, of course, you have to find a water source.
That's what professionals do.
The matter of camping was thus settled.
There were nine people on the bus, and two of them were not happy.
The two of them preferred to stay in the bus than in the sandy soil with half a foot on it.
In other words, the beautiful woman of about thirty-five years old has a very popular name, Mary.
While the others were quietly carrying their luggage, Mary said to Jennifer, another black girl:
"Don't listen to them! I've been in a similar environment in Texas, where it looks clean, but at night, all sorts of bugs will show up and get into your hair, nostrils and even your mouth, and that's ...... Oh, my God! β
Jeannifer, who had just joined the company, hesitated when Mary said this.
But then, Jennifer's immediate boss, Bucklin, shouted outside:
"Jennifer, hurry up, put these instruments away! It's getting dark, don't lose time! β
Jennifer gave Mary an apologetic look and immediately went out with the instrument.
Mary had no choice but to complain:
"Humph! I don't even have the guts to do this, I deserve to be bullied! β
She had made up her mind to live on the bus.
Although she really didn't want to make this trip, she thought about the generous payment, the numbers on her credit card, and the bills, and Mary knew that if she didn't come, she would probably have to move out of the apartment next month and change to a more modest accommodation.
Anyway, I only know how to read the paper spit out by those instruments, and I don't need to go to the mountains to dig stones, and the subsidy is so high, why don't you come?
Now that the economy is in a recession, it's good to have a job that pays well.
Zhu Yu and the others set up two small tents, and Sermiao and them also had two tents, one large and one smallβthe small tent was for two ladies, and the big tent was for men.
Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and Shermiao, as well as a technician, and came to the foot of the mountain.
"Mr. Shermion, I didn't expect your mood to be so urgent, I thought you wouldn't start working until at least tomorrow."
"Mr. Zhu, do you know? I haven't had a serious job for two years since I left my job. I can't wait to find a qualified mine and start a job! β
Shermiao's physical strength is not bad, and he said while following Zhu Yu to climb the mountain:
"So, as long as the grade of this mine you provide is not so bad, I will pass. I want to be able to get back to work as soon as possible, so that I can feel like I'm not old, I can still work, and I can enjoy a better life! β
Well, the pursuit is different.
Zhu Yu climbed with Shermion for a while, and came to the place where he had discovered the gold vein earlier.
The stone here is seriously weathered, Zhu Yu opened the eye of the sky, found a place where the mineral vein was about to expose the mountain, used the trekking pole he carried with him to pry down a stone, knocked it in again, took out a stone inside, and handed it to Shermiao:
"Look, is this stone a mine?"
There are small golden dots dotted on the stones. Shermion took a look, immediately took a small hammer from the bag he was carrying, and struck it on the stone.
Knocking open the stone, he found that the dots had seeped into less than three centimeters before they were gone.
A little disappointed, but he knew that it was just a stone pryed off the surface, and he had to look inside.
Zhu Yu pried off another piece and handed it over.
Then he walked forward, and as he went, he said:
"We came here and saw a lot of these things along the way, and we didn't pay attention to them at first. Later, I took a piece back with me, and after testing, it was said that it was a gold mine, so we provided this place. β
Zhu Yu walked more than a hundred meters, knocked down seven or eight stones in a row and handed them to Xie Ermiao.
Shermion carefully looked at each stone, and after reading it, handed it to the technician next to him.
For this type of vein, it is impossible to completely determine it with the naked eye alone - except for Zhu Yu.
After all, in this wilderness, the investment in building a mine is definitely not a small amount.
If a huge investment is made in exchange for a small mine or a poor mine, the gains outweigh the losses, and the loss is not only for the permafrost minerals, but also for Shermyon's reputation and future.
At this time, Ran Jie came over and reminded:
"Boss, it's changed."
Zhu Yu turned his head to take a look, and sure enough, the sun had been covered with a layer of gray mist, looking at a large orange ball, faintly blowing wind and sand, it seemed that the sky had changed over there.
"Let's go back." Zhu Yu said.
Shermion knew that Zhu Yu had been here, so he believed his words very much and immediately walked back.
By the time we got back to the temporary station, there was already a light wind blowing here.
"Tell them, strengthen the tent, I'm afraid this wind and sand won't be small!" Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie:
"Also, I saw someone in the car and didn't get out of it, so I asked them if they were going to live in the car. If so, it's best to persuade people to come out, the temperature difference between day and night here is so big, it will be troublesome to freeze out at night. β
The reason why Zhu Yu thought about it so carefully was mainly because the company was now his own, and he still had to worry about it.
He didn't worry about the tent he lived in at allβwith Qin Fei and Cao Dalong to do it, it was definitely more reliable than what he did himself.
Ran Jie's words Shermiao listened to it, and immediately asked people to strengthen the tent, and he himself was also involved in it.
But Mary on the bus couldn't survive.
"It's not like I haven't experienced wind and sand! The wind and sand I saw when I was in Texas were worse than this! The tents were blown away, but the buses were fine! β
Mary originally thought that she would go to the tent if she couldn't do it, after all, there were sleeping bags, but when she heard that there was wind and sand, she immediately stopped coming down.
Several men tried to drag him down, and Mary simply locked the car door from the inside.
Although it can still be opened, Shermiao waved his hand:
"Don't persuade her, let her stay inside."
Ran Jie reported this matter to Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu looked at the yellow sand that had rolled up on the mountain, thinking about the huge wind and sand that he had heard about in the suburbs of Beijing in the early stage, so he had an attitude with Xie Ermiao:
"It's hard to persuade the ghost to find a dead ghost, don't care about him, let's hurry up and get some hot food, and then go into the tent!"
At this time, it was too late to boil water and cook rice, Zhu Yu and the others each had a self-heating rice, and on the folding table in the middle were two self-heating hot pots, beef balls and duck blood hairy tripe, and it was really good to eat with rice.
Shermyon's nose was like that of a bear, and he came over when he smelled it.
They nibled on noodles and ham, drank mineral water, and had no hot food at all.
But at this time, if you eat hot, no matter what race you are, it will feel more than ten times better!
"Come on, come on, you're welcome." Zhu Yu handed over a self-heating rice, Cao Dalong taught him the method to use, this product is not polite, and then he took a big gulp.
Thumbs up while eating!
He really doesn't pick!
Before he finished eating, the wind was strong, and it blew over wrapped in sand, and Zhu Yu immediately held the thing and said:
"Alright, let's get into the tent!"
Somewhat embarrassed, Shermion ran back to his tent.
Zhu Yu entered his tent, pulled the zipper, and the solar lantern was turned on. He turned on a large electronic screen and ate as he watched.
The cold wind whistling outside can't blow in, and although the temperature inside has dropped a little, it can still stand it.
Shermion returned to the tent, still holding a self-heating rice box in his hand, reluctant to throw it away.
"Mr. Shermion, what are you eating?"
"The magic rice of the Chinese people." Shermion said with a smile.
"Hot?"
"Yes."
It's not like they've never eaten self-heating food, but they don't have much more contact with these things.
Unlike Zhu Yu, they are used to preparing a lot, and they feel different at once.
If it's hot, you can't feel it, but right now, the wind and sand carry the cold air directly away the slightest trace of heat outside the tent, and these people only feel warmer when they stay in their sleeping bags.
The tent space was limited, and he was afraid of accidents, so he didn't start a fire, so Sermiao's self-heating food became rare.
"Huaxia people are smart!" Someone said, "I'll see it tomorrow." β
"Mr. Sermion, if we go to the wild in the future, I suggest that we should have some of these foods, convenient!"
They were discussing here, and Mary in the bus over there was a little unbearable.
At first, she covered herself with a blanket, put the seat down, and slept on it.
But seeing that it was a sunny day when the sun was setting, the wind and sand came over after a while, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Then the wind and sand crackled on the car window.
The bus could close the curtains, but it couldn't block out the sound.
And this bus looks quite new, but it is actually not a new car, and there are many air leaks in the car.
The cold wind came in, and Mary couldn't stand it for a while, she took advantage of the fact that there was still a little light outside, quickly got up, found the sleeping bag issued by the company, and didn't care about getting dirty, spread it on the aisle, and immediately got in.
At first, it felt warmer, but later, the tin floor sucked up the heat from the sleeping bag, and Mary felt her body temperature drop a little, and she thought for a long time before she remembered that there was still a moisture-proof mat - how long had it been since she had spent the night in the wilderness?
Unable to care about that, she ran to put the moisture-proof mat on again, and Mary got into her sleeping bag.
By this time, Mary had already regretted it.
But at the moment, listening to the cold wind blowing outside, and the constant crackling sound, she couldn't muster the courage to get out of the car and go to the tent anyway.
What if it's blown away by the wind?
The night, for Mary, was destined to be long.
Of course, for Zhu Yu, this night was very pleasant - the sound of wind and sand did not affect his sleep at all.
I don't know when the wind and sand stopped, and when the sky dawned, Zhu Yu came out of his sleeping bag and did not immediately open the tent, but first shook the tent vigorously inside, shaking off the sand and gravel blown by the wind on the tent, and then got out.
After coming out, Zhu Yu found that there was about five centimeters of sand outside the tent.
The tents on Shermion's side had not moved, and Ran Jie had already cleared the sand on the side of the tent and began to boil water for cooking.
"Why doesn't the boss sleep a little longer?" Cao Dalong asked with a smile while stirring the porridge on the gas stove.
"I've slept well." Zhu Yu stretched, took water and a towel and scrubbed it briefly, and asked:
"What's going on in the bus?"
"We can't open the door." Qin Fei came back with two rabbits and said, "In this weather, it is estimated that I have a cold inside." β
Zhu Yu didn't care very much, the temperature hadn't reached below zero at night, so it shouldn't freeze out.
As for the cold, it's a lesson.
After the wind and sand, the air was not bad, Zhu Yu didn't expect Qin Fei's shot to be fruitful, he said with a smile:
"You're hitting this?"
"No, I'm going out for a walk, these two rabbits should also be lost in the wind and sand, lying in the rocks over there, let me see."
When Sermion and the others got up, the driver opened the door of the bus and found that Mary had a cold and a fever.
Several people carried her to the tent, where Jennifer took care of her after taking the medicine.
Jennifer was a little scared last night, and even regretted not staying in the bus with Mary.
But now, looking at Mary's flushed face and trembling body, I was glad that she was obedient enough.
After eating, Shermion announced that the rest of the staff would go up the hill and spread out, looking for veins and getting enough samples of ore.
It is important to find out not only the grade of the ore, but also the extent of the vein.
Zhu Yu and the others had actually completed their mission, but he had no intention of leaving.
He also wanted to see how far Shermion could go in the end.
Another point is that he also discovered that Shermion's experience is still insufficient, and these people do not carry any weapons and do not have the expected security forces.
If something really happens, it's still quite troublesome.
So what Zhu Yu meant was to stay, at least to protect Shermion, and leave after they finished exploring safely.
It's a matter of your own business!
At this time, Zhu Yu will not back down.
Ran Jie, of course, they won't - this time for the investment, Zhu Yu gave Ran Jie a little share.
The price was that after Robert sold the properties that Ran Jie and the others handed over, the money he got went to Zhu Yu.
It's like buying stocks.
Of course, both sides think it's a good deal.
And so it was settled.
Zhu Yu didn't expect that things would come so quickly!
