Chapter 118: Go to the mountains to mine gold

The weather in autumn is already a little cool, looking at all things that are about to wither and decay, Guojianglong's mood can't help but be a little melancholy.

However, the colorful fruits of labor that are about to be harvested make people feel excited and excited, and even full of longing and longing.

It was in such a complicated state of mind that Guo Jianglong hurriedly prepared for a few days, and he was ready to take his two brothers to set off to the unknown mountains to mine gold.

The big boss, the second master, the master, the wife, etc. all came to see them off, and the cottage also beat the drum of the expedition, of course, to inspire Jiang Long and others to return with a full load.

When they came to the bottom of the mountain, the two golden generals with a dozen hired laborers were already waiting at the bottom of the mountain, and the two fully loaded carriages were also ready to go.

"Next year, when you go out of the mountain, I will send my brothers to pick you up, and I wish you a full return. Now they are all on the big roller, and they will set off with you across the river, and whoever dares to fart there will be killed! ”

Wang Da and others hugged their fists and crossed the river dragon, as well as the golden leader and others said goodbye! Guo Jianglong didn't say much, waved his hand to let everyone get into the car, and headed towards the predetermined goal.

Shunshun walked on the spot for five days before he came to a place called Gushan Weizi, and Guo Jianglong ordered everyone to go into this relatively large tunzi to rest.

This is a fairly large scale near the mountain Tunzi, there is also a large car shop for pedestrians to live in and out, Guojianglong knows that it is newly opened in Dulong Mountain, and the shopkeeper is Feng Langzi.

Guo Jianglong led people to live, and Feng Langzi was busy entertaining this group of people with his buddies and wives, especially for Guo Jianglong.

"Take out whatever you have to eat, let everyone eat and drink, and get up early tomorrow morning."

We'll put the big rollers right here for you, and put everything on the horses, and the horses that can't carry them here, and I'll send someone to fetch them.

This journey has to go back and forth, these things have to be transported to the mountains, these more than 20 people, how much food do you have to eat in a year, and it will definitely not work if you bring less.

Old Feng, you have to show me a good look, and I will send someone to pick it up in two days. Also, when we go out of the mountain, you have to go and tell the big boss to send more people to pick us up.

Lao Feng, you have to guard it here, watch the stall honestly, don't be public, don't leak the wind, run away, and miss the big event of my Dulong Mountain! ”

"Please rest assured, I will stay here, wait for your letter, I will never miss the big thing of the cottage, I will take my head guarantee!

There are several roads to enter the mountain, and those who dig out gophers in this radius of hundreds of miles have to pass by here, and many big locks and officials have nests in front and back, and I am basically familiar with them.

I don't know which way you want to enter the mountain and which point you want to go to? I can also pick up the twist with you in advance and cover the grain master you go out of the mountain. ”

Feng Langzi is still so enthusiastic and talks a lot, he is now the shopkeeper of the big car shop, and his tone of speech is more confident. But Guo Jianglong quickly stopped him and asked him to go to the matter in front of him first.

"You don't have to worry about all this first, this time we have to go far away, you just wait here, if there is something I will send someone to find you, go and prepare a meal!"

I stayed very comfortably all night, and before dawn the next day, Guo Jianglong called everyone up to finish eating, and while it was still dark, he led people into the old forest.

Guo Jianglong assigned Qian Dagui to follow Jin Wuye to explore the road in front, and he and Li Er led the team with the first and first middle schools, and let the mountain monkeys follow at the end, making a secret mark of entering the mountain.

The group walked from early morning to dark, and only ate a mouthful of dry food in the middle. At first there was a small road, but then the road was gone, just a little inconspicuous road shadow.

When he saw that it was too dark and people were sleepy and lacking horses, he found an open space, asked everyone to stop and make a fire to cook, and sent people out to let the horses graze.

After eating, everyone took their luggage, lay on the ground, and went to sleep. In the second half of the night, Guo Jianglong called the mountain monkey and Li Er to the head.

Tell the two of them to take someone to ride to Feng Langzi to carry the rest of the things, and the rest of them will continue to hurry forward tomorrow morning.

The group walked back and forth for about a month, passing two abandoned gold mining sites along the way, but they did not stop.

In fact, Guo Jianglong didn't know where to go, although Jin told him the specific direction, but Guo Jianglong, who had never entered such a deep mountain, still couldn't imagine it.

Everyone followed in a daze, until they came to this place called Jinmaigou by Jin Wuye, and then stopped to prepare to set up camp.

This place was already freezing, so Jin Wuye chose a relatively flat and dry place and asked people to cut trees and build houses in the nearby forest.

After the house was built, Jin Wuye was still not in a hurry to mine gold, and he asked people to cut the horse grass and lead the horse to pack the wooden halberd, and he was busy for more than a month before stopping.

At this time, it was already freezing cold, and the heavy snow had sealed the entire mountain. Winter comes early in the mountains, and the long winter awaits them to suffer across the river.

On this day, the sun was shining, and the heavy snow on the mountains made people unable to open their eyes. Jin Wuye chose an old river channel and let people light twenty or thirty fires in one go.

As the fire burned more and more, Jin led Li Er's head to a high post to burn incense and worship. It was only at dawn that Kim had the fire removed from the burning.

Let people dig down in the burned place until the water comes out and they can't dig any further. Everyone was surprised, but they were all working hard.

The next day, Kim had the ice in the pit cut out of the pit, and then set fire to the pit, and when the bottom of the pit was burned again, he had the pit go down and continue to dig out the sand.

All the sand that has been dug out is transported to the high hill by the river, saying that there is gold here, and it is placer gold, and it will be panning for gold when the river opens next year.

"Why don't you dig it when it's not freezing, how hard it takes to freeze the ground?"

Some of the hired laborers asked puzzledly, and Li Er didn't hide his head, and explained to the employees who were working very happily.

"At that time, there was water down here, and there was no placer gold to be fished up, and all the gold was drilled into the sand."

Just keep burning, keep planing, keep changing places. Jin Wuye and Li Ertou sometimes wiped the sand and soil dug out of the pit with melted snow water and washed it in the golden dustpan to verify the amount of gold.

Almost every pit had to be tried to determine where the hired men were digging the pit and finding the direction of the golden vein. For the whole winter, the same work was repeated, but not much gold was harvested.
