In the northeast of China, mineral resources are extremely rich, and some areas even contain a large amount of gold resources.

Therefore, the local area has the reputation of "thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, gold borders" since ancient times.

Compared with the northeast, where a shovel of gold is seen, the minerals in the Anhui region are always jokingly called by geological prospectors as "stars everywhere, but there is no moon".

The reason is that although the soil layer can detect metals, the proportion of its gold content has no mining value at all.

However, this is only the conclusion reached by previous people.

According to the plan after the formation of the Gold Force in 1979, the area around the existing copper vein belt had to be re-explored.

Based on past experience, areas with copper deposits are twice as likely to contain gold.

Because most of the copper and gold mines are sulfide ores, the two often appear together, and An-Hui has been a major copper producer since ancient times.

Therefore, the task of the second detachment is to follow the veins of known copper mines to find gold deposits worth mining.

The warriors came halfway up the mountain and looked around.

Compared with the barren land of the Northeast mining area.

At this moment, the landform unfolding in front of Zhang Junfeng's eyes is full of wild grasses, green trees, and lush greenery.

Carrying or carrying, the team members acted in groups, carrying exploration equipment and scattered.

As time passed, Zhang Junfeng, who had been busy for most of the day and had no gain, looked up and looked farther away.

Today is different from the past, since he entered the mountain, he has been looking for the shadow of the caryophyllus.

Not to mention ten, not even one.

"It's beautiful,"

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled all over the western mountains.

Xu Xiaotian, a comrade-in-arms who partnered with Zhang Junfeng, stood on the edge of the cliff and expressed his feelings:

"Jun Feng, I will have the opportunity to go to my hometown for two days in the future."

"What, there's gold in your hometown?" Zhang Junfeng walked over with a smile.

"There is no gold," Xu Xiaotian looked at the sky: "But there is an endless prairie, when the time comes, I will teach you to ride a horse, you will definitely like that feeling." ”

"Listen to what you say," Zhang Junfeng was also looking at the sunset: "I'm already tempted, the sunset is so beautiful, like gold." ”

"Look down there," Xu Xiaotian said, pointing to the cliff, "The sunset falls on it, as if it has sprinkled a piece of gold." ”

"Heh," Zhang Junfeng laughed: "In the end, it is a comrade of the Golden Army, everything looks like a golden ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Junfeng was directly stunned.

On the side cliff at your feet, a few small flowers that are white on the outside and purple on the inside are gently swaying with the breeze.

Serrated petals, five petals open.

Leek leaf-like stems and leaves, sparsely distributed all around.

"This is ......" Zhang Junfeng stretched his neck and looked down: "This flower is so familiar!" ”

"Really?" Xu Xiaotian also took a look: "Is it familiar?" I haven't seen it anyway. ”

Looking down along the cliff, Zhang Junfeng became more and more surprised: "2, 5, 7, 10, 11......"

"What are you counting?"

“27？” Zhang Junfeng counted it roughly, and immediately became excited: "In this small place, there are actually 27 caryophyllus flowers. ”

[If you see every square meter of land in the wild, there are more than 10 caryophyllus flowers, and there is a good chance that there are gold mines hidden in the ground. 】

At this moment, the text in the newspaper repeatedly jumped in my head.

"This flower is called caryophyllus," Zhang Junfeng tried to hold back his excitement:

"It is said that if you can see more than 10 flowers in a small area, there is probably a gold mine buried underneath."

As soon as he heard this, Xu Xiaotian, who was also looking down, looked at Zhang Junfeng fiercely: "There is a gold mine under this flower?" Who do you listen to? ”

"People from my hometown."

"Yes," Xu Xiaotian hurriedly looked at the caryophyllus, and then frowned: "But, where we have detected the gold mine before, why haven't we seen such a flower?" ”

"Haven't you seen it?" Zhang Junfeng tried to recall: "Xiao Tian, think about it again, I'm sure I haven't seen this flower in the mining area before." ”

"This flower looks special, if I have seen it, I will definitely have an impression."

If it weren't for the tricky angle of the cliff, Zhang Junfeng would have been ready to excavate.

"Why don't you chisel and see?"

Before Xu Xiaotian's words fell, Zhang Junfeng was already lying on the ground.

After leaning out half of his body, he was facing the rock wall with a chisel.

Whoa......

A few rocks rolled down the cliff.

"Look at this soil layer doesn't look like it," Xu Xiaotian also lay on the rock mouth.

I picked up the tool and shoveled it, and with a clang, the tool in my hand seemed to touch a hard stubble.

Both of them lying on the rock mouth heard the sound.

coincidentally, they chiseled at the foothold just now.

At this time, the comrades-in-arms carried the guys to the assembly point one after another.

"What are you two doing there?"

In the distance, the detachment leader saw two green uniforms lying on the ground.

"Report to the captain," Xu Xiaotian reported as he chiseled, "We are looking for gold mines." ”

"Looking for gold mines?" The detachment leader, who had already walked to the edge of the cliff, leaned out and looked down: "You look like you looking for gold mines?" ”

"People in Zhang Junfeng's hometown have experience, and they say that as long as they can find a large number of caryophyllus, they can find gold mines."

"Oh?" The detachment leader also lay down next to them: "And this statement? ”

At the moment when the captain just lay down, there was a sudden "boom", and a large piece of wall rock rolled down to the valley along with the clods of soil.

The birds in the valley were startled, and a large number of them flew up.

Looking at the edge of the cliff again, all the servants who had questions and answers were speechless.

As the flying dust gradually calmed down, the steep wall shrouded in the setting sun suddenly flashed with a golden light.

The three lying on the rock mouth all held their breath, staring at the place where the soil had collapsed.

"That's, gold?" Xu Xiaotian looked at the glittering rock wall in a daze.

"I see gold on the surface," the detachment leader's saliva was about to flow out: "I have only seen this kind of ore with gold content in Liaodong Gold Mine." ”

"We ...... Is this a gold mine? ”

Zhang Junfeng, who was lying on the ground, slapped the ground and shouted loudly.

As soon as he heard the movement, all the comrades-in-arms behind him gathered.

"Get the metal detector."

Zhang Junfeng shouted to the soldiers behind him.

"What kind of detector are you taking, haven't you already seen it!"

"Look down closely," Zhang Junfeng pointed to the valley and said excitedly: "There are more caryophyllus flowers below!" ”

The comrades-in-arms looked in the direction of his finger.

The further down you go, the more dense the purple-white flowers become.

From afar, the valley was full of purple and shaking.

This piece of purple and white fell in Zhang Junfeng's eyes, and it directly became a brilliant golden light.

"What's that?"

"Caryophyllus!"

"What does caryophyllum have to do with gold?"

"They are the companion flowers of gold," Zhang Junfeng said slowly, "Seeing it is equivalent to seeing a gold mine!" ”

Hearing this, the warriors on the top of the cliff looked at the gold ore under their feet, and then looked at the caryophyllum flowers in the valley.

Then there was a shout of triumph.

"All of them, full speed ahead to the bottom"

"Yes!"

On the way to the bottom!

The detachment leader asked curiously: "Zhang Junfeng, I remember that your hometown is from Pujiang, right?" Where do you have mining experience too? ”

"Report to Team Lee,"

At this moment, Zhang Junfeng can finally tell the truth in a down-to-earth manner:

"Actually, I saw the news in a newspaper in my hometown, which said that caryophyllum is actually the companion flower of the gold mine."

"What else did the newspaper say?"

When Zhang Junfeng took out a copy of "Oriental Metropolis Daily" from his bag, the detachment leader took it like a treasure......

A few days later, the Oriental Metropolis Daily, far away in Pujiang, received a letter of thanks from the Golden Army.

When Jiang Shan put it down after reading the letter, he found that all the people in the room were staring at him.

"What are you looking at," Jiang Shan smiled and said, "What's so beautiful?" ”

Cai Wensheng squinted his eyes and said, "Section Chief Jiang, you wrote those two manuscripts, right?" ”

"What a god!" Rong Bin sincerely admired: "If I were the leader of the Golden Army, I would have to incorporate you." ”

"If you want to laugh, laugh," Jiang Hai looked at the third child's appearance: "Don't suffocate." ”

"It's a coincidence," Jiang Shan smiled brightly:

"I've always been greedy for money, and I usually like to collect some tips for treasure hunting, but I didn't expect to show it to the organization."

"It's a pity," Rong Bin shook his head with a smile: "It's a pity that you didn't pick up a single piece of gold yourself." ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

After speaking, Jiang Shan picked up the letter on the table again.

On the second day, the first page of the "Oriental Metropolis Daily" clearly published a news item "A county in Anhui has discovered a huge gold mine, which can be mined for 20 years".

Yenching Ren-Min Education Publishing House, the book "How to Write Good Pen Characters" has received a notice of approval for distribution.

"Manuscript fee sent?"

After confirming the book cover, President Zhu Ling casually advised: "When the copybook is printed, don't forget to send a few copies to the author." ”

"Don't worry, President Zhu, the manuscript fee will not be delayed like the book."

"Hmm,"

President Zhu nodded, and looked at the name of the author Jiang Shan on the book cover: "By the way, I will also send a few copies to the three authors of the preface." ”

"Okay, President Zhu."

Just as Jiangshan's calligraphy was sent to the printing house, Wen Huaisha led Pang Zhonghua to Dean Jiang Feng's home.

The climate in Yanjing is too dry these days, and Dean Jiang's health is obviously not as good as before.

With the sound of coughing, Pang Zhonghua finally met the long-awaited Dean Jiang of the Academy of Fine Arts.

"Hello Dean Jiang,"

After Wen Huaisha's introduction, Pang Zhonghua hurriedly greeted Jiang Feng respectfully.

"Sit down and talk," Jiang Feng nodded, and then opened the manuscript in his hand.

If you hadn't seen Jiang Shan's pen and script, Dean Jiang at this meeting would definitely catch the gay man in front of him and praise him.

It's a pity that Jiangshan knows the preconceived truth.

grabbed the first time and handed his manuscript to the eyes of the key person.

"It's well written," Dean Jiang flipped through a few pages, and then put them together: "You also want to publish a pen copybook?" ”

Pang Zhonghua didn't know why Dean Jiang added the word "also":

"I've been practicing pen handwriting for many years, and everyone compliments me on the beauty of my handwriting, so ...... I wondered if I should publish a pen copybook. ”

"Well," Dean Jiang nodded: "This idea is very good, now that the whole society is writing pen characters, it is also necessary to have a few more notebooks." ”

Wen Huaisha touched his beard, looked at Jiang Feng and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the comrades of the publishing house don't have the consciousness of you." ”

"I also know a little bit about the specific situation," Jiang Feng coughed twice, and then muttered for a while: "Yanjing's publishing house must not think about it......"

"Oh?" Wen Huaisha was stunned for a moment: "Why is this?" ”

Dean Jiang waved his hand and motioned to the other party not to ask more:

"Well, I'll call the publishing house in Tianjin in two days, and see if it can be done...... It depends on Comrade Xiao Pang's luck. ”

Some things seemed to be different from what Wen Huaisha had expected.

In his opinion, Jiang Feng should have the best relationship with Yanjing Publishing House.

Why is this going to be a matter of heaven?

I don't know what twists and turns are there.

Forget it, just like Jiang Yuan just said, everything still depends on Pang Zhonghua's own luck.

……

After leaving the airport, Yu Sigui took a deep breath of the air of the Pujiang River.

"Huh," she laughed with disgust, "Why is it all the smell of the country!" ”

As he spoke, he looked down at the two suitcases beside him.

One of them was specially prepared by Yu Sigui for Jiangshan.

"Comrade Jiangshan," she couldn't help laughing: "Comrade Yu Sigui is here!" ”

Dozens of minutes later, a small taxi slowly stopped in front of the Oriental Metropolis Daily.

Dragging two suitcases, Yu Sigui couldn't wait to run in front of the animation wall.

"Wow,"

After even a few wows, Yu Sigui suddenly felt that his eyes were not enough.

After a few careful looks, Miss Yu walked back to the advertising wall of "Happy Coke".

Pure blue sky, long white clouds.

Grass, green trees, and streams......

A group of well-known animated characters sit comfortably in the lap of nature.

A bottle of happy cola on each paw, Yu Sigui laughed unconsciously.

"This painting is so interesting," the girl muttered to herself, looking at the advertising wall:

"Even if you are in a bad mood, you will laugh when you see it."

The word healing is the definition of this advertising painting.

It's a pity that Miss Yu doesn't know that these two words can also be used in paintings.

At this moment, Jiang Shan, who was sitting in the office, was lying on the table coloring a cartoon painting.

For several months, the delivery time of the Oriental Metropolis Daily has been ranked at the bottom of the list by the post office.

As for the delivery situation in remote areas, it is even more difficult to see.

The most infuriating thing is that according to the feedback from the newspaper's reporters, the situation of other newspapers is better than that of "Oriental Metropolis Daily".

Not only can it be guaranteed to be delivered to the urban newsstand at 6 a.m., but the delivery in remote areas will not exceed two days.

It is not the same thing at all as the situation of "Oriental Metropolis Daily" for two to one week.

Although the editor-in-chief, Jiang Hai, made a special trip to communicate with the post office about this matter, the reply he received was still the same:

The delivery team at the post office is limited and can only travel according to the previous schedule.

In the face of this matter, Jiangshan has no way to deal with it.

After all, the other party is the big brother of the post who has to give three points to the Ministry of Propaganda.

can only hope for the curve to save the country and break through from a distance.

I don't know if this method will work, but he'll be very energetic in drawing anyway!

"What are you drawing?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice behind him directly stunned Jiang Shan.

After raising his head suddenly, he saw a beautiful figure in a trance: "Yu ...... Comrade Sigui? ”

"Poof," Yu Sigui laughed out loud, she had expected Jiang Shan to call herself that.

Then, he stretched out a hand and said formally: "Hello, Comrade Jiangshan." ”

Jiang Shan didn't say anything more, just looked at the person in front of him and smiled shallowly, and then: "I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?" ”

With a brush, Yu Sigui's face turned red instantly.

Fortunately, a clever mouth is still smart: "Guess! ”
