Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lu Wan and Feng Shijie followed Duo Ya at the front. Now they have climbed over the hill and arrived at the valley where gold was found. However, although they knew that there was gold here, Lu Wan's mind was not on it, but on it.  Looking around at the situation in this valley, I wondered what kind of difficulties we would encounter if we mined gold here.

    Feng Shijie held a cardboard in his hand and drew the terrain of the valley as he walked. He also marked some places that needed attention. For example, there were many footprints of wild beasts on both sides of the river bank, indicating that many wild beasts would come to drink water.  Be very careful, otherwise unnecessary casualties may occur.

    This valley can actually be regarded as a river valley. In the middle of the valley is a long and flowing river. In addition, there are traces of erosion by the river on the stone walls on both sides. It can be seen that this valley is probably the site of a major flood.  products flowing down.  The river in the middle of the valley is not too small. The river is more than three feet wide, but the water is not deep, and the water is very clear. Feng Shijie can even see the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river.  For these situations, Feng Shijie had to mark them all on the topographic map.

    As the name suggests, Curly Man is born with curly hair. At first glance, he looks like a barbarian. However, as he grows up, he has never heard from his parents that his ancestors have barbarian ancestry.  However, it is precisely because of this obvious feature that Curly's name has long been forgotten. People who know him call him Curly, and he has long accepted this title.

    Curly Hair is the most ordinary crew member in the exploration fleet. He is following the team with an excited expression on his face. He knows that there is likely to be gold in the valley under his feet.  So I observed carefully while walking, and at the same time I was secretly happy for my luck.  The materials they brought were stored in the cave.  So it had to be guarded, but everyone knew that gold might be found in the valley.  And according to the rules, whoever finds it belongs to whom, so no one wanted to stay. In the end, they had to draw lots, and Curly Hair was lucky enough to follow.

    In fact, not only Curly Hair, but also the other crew members who came were very excited. They all searched the ground with their eyes wide open, hoping to find a few nuggets of gold with the good luck of drawing lots.  It's a pity that they have walked a long way in the valley, but still haven't found anything.

    As Lu Wan and the others walked forward, Doya told them about the situation when she found the gold. In fact, it was very simple to say, because the people in the Moli Department knew that gold was produced here for a long time, but they were not familiar with the yellow gold.  The stones were not of interest, and at most they only picked up a few pieces to make ornaments. Duo Ya originally had this purpose and wandered around the valley for a few days.  Just found all the gold grains to make a bracelet.

    Hearing that Duoya had found so much gold in just a few days, the crew behind him became excited again. Their eyes no longer looked elsewhere, and they all stared at their feet.  Unfortunately, the river bank they were walking on was full of gravel and sand. Even if there were gold particles, it would be difficult to find them.

    Curly Hair walked at the back.  As he walked, he kicked the ground with his feet, hoping to kick out a nugget of gold from the sand.  But his method is obviously not very good, and it hasn't gone very far yet.  The shoes on his feet were almost broken by the road.  Looking at this pair of shoes made by his wife, there were already signs of opening in the front thread, which made him feel a little distressed. He regretted why he didn't change his shoes when he came out.

    When looking for something, this often happens, that is, when you need something urgently and search through boxes and cabinets, you can¡¯t find it.  And when you don't use this thing, this thing will appear in front of you with a dead face, and you can see it no matter where you are.  Now the crew members such as Curly Hair are also encountering the same problem. Although everyone is looking down, they still find nothing in the end.

    Curly is an easily contented person. Although he also wanted to find some gold to take back, he felt bad about the shoes, so in the end he stopped kicking them with his feet. He just walked and watched, intending to just go with the flow and find the best one.  It doesn't matter if he arrives, anyway, the personal goods he brought with him on this trip will be exchanged for a lot of valuable things, and he will resell them when he returns to the Tang Dynasty. That will be a huge income, and he will be able to buy a new house by then.  , brought all the parents, wives and children from my hometown to enjoy the blessing.  Thinking of his gentle wife and lovely children in his hometown, Curly Hair couldn't help but giggle like "hehehe".

    However, when people are distracted and thinking about things, they will ignore some things. For example, for people walking, they will not pay attention to their feet. Curly Hair is a typical example. Just when the silly smile on his face has not disappeared, he suddenly feels that his feet are weak.  , and his whole body suddenly fell to the ground. At this moment, he happened to be grinning with his mouth open. As a result, he didn't even have time to close his mouth. A pair of big fangs happened to hit a sharp stone. Although the teeth were not knocked out,  But his mouth was full of blood and his teeth were a little loose.

    ¡°When several of his companions saw Curly Hair¡¯s tragic situation, they all pointed at him and laughed, and Curly Hair also spat out blood with a ¡®bah¡¯ sound.At that moment, I secretly cried out that I was unlucky, and I wanted to stand up as soon as I put my hands on it.  But at this moment, he suddenly felt his eyes flashed by a bit of golden light. When he looked carefully, he discovered that the stone in front of him that almost knocked off his front teeth was covered by his hard front teeth.  A small piece of stone was also knocked off, and the true appearance inside was revealed. A bit of golden light was shining there, making people feel itchy in their hearts.

    Seeing this, Curly Hair no longer cared about the blood in his mouth, and quickly sat up and held the stone in his arms. He found that the stone, which was the size of a human head, was extremely heavy. With the strength of a strong man like him, it was not heavy enough.  It takes a lot of strength to hold it up.

    The unusual heaviness alone made Curly Hair realize something. He grabbed a stone next to him with a look of ecstasy, and then smashed it down hard. As a result, the outer layer of stone was smashed open, revealing  The glittering gold essence inside is just mixed with some ore impurities.

    "Dog gold nugget!" The surrounding crew members also saw the strangeness of the stone in Curly's hand, and some of them even screamed in shock. Gold nugget was very rare, not to mention that the gold nugget in Curly's hand was as big as a human head. Although  There may be some other ore impurities, but it must be dozens of kilograms anyway, right?

    "Hahahahahahaha~" Curly Hair was also shocked by the huge gold nugget in his arms. He held the gold tightly in his arms with both hands, and let out a series of weird giggles.  He looked like he was going crazy.

    Lu Wan in front heard that someone in his crew had picked up a piece of nugget gold, weighing dozens of kilograms. This made him extremely shocked. Gold is inherently very valuable, and natural nugget gold is even more rare.  The treasure you seek is far more valuable than gold of the same weight, and nugget gold often represents great luck, so it has always been regarded as a treasure among treasures. If someone finds nugget gold, they will often be rich and wealthy.  People bought it for several times the value as a treasure for their town house, hoping to use this great luck to bless the prosperity of future generations.

    Knowing this, Lu Wan also attached great importance to this and immediately ran to the back to watch. As a result, he happened to see Curly Mao holding the golden dog head the size of a human head and crying and laughing. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was the other party's favorite.  There was so much phlegm that I became obsessed with it.

    Lu Wan was well-informed. When he saw something was wrong with Curly Hair, he immediately went up and slapped the other person's face twice. As a result, he finally woke up Curly Hair. He looked at the people in front of him with his eyes wide open, and then continued  He lowered his head and looked at the dog-headed gold in his arms. He finally woke up. He jumped up with the dog-headed gold in his arms and shouted excitedly: "Haha, I found gold! I found gold"

    Although Curly Hair was roaring and yelling more crazily than before, Lu Wan and the other crew members could see that Curly Hair was sane at this time, and he was just venting his joy through roaring.  Although many people expressed disdain for Curly Mao's worthless appearance, but after thinking about it, if they had picked up such a big piece of nugget gold for nothing, it would probably be no better than Curly Mao.

    But the native girl Duoya couldn't figure it out. The boats of these outsiders had extremely beautiful cloth and ornaments as beautiful as stars. These were enough to show that the other party was richer than she imagined. But  Why are such wealthy outsiders so happy to find a yellow stone?  Although this yellow stone is a bit bigger, in the eyes of our native girl, it is not as precious as the glass bracelet on her hand.

    After a while, Curly Hair finally vented the ecstasy in his chest. In addition, he did not forget to thank the captain Lu Wan. After all, if there was no one else, he might really go crazy with joy.  At this time, other crew members also came forward to congratulate them. Although these people were jealous and hateful in their hearts, since Curly Hair was the first to discover this thing, then according to the rules, the gold nugget belongs to others, no matter how jealous they are.  Useless.

    It wasn¡¯t until all the crew congratulated Curly that Lu Wan said, ¡°Curly, what do you plan to do with this nugget of gold? Do you plan to take it back and sell it, or keep it at home for home use?¡±

    Upon hearing this, Curly Hair immediately said with a smile: "Captain, it's not like you don't know about my situation at home. Now is the time when we are short of money, so of course this gold nugget has to be sold. Besides, I can come here, and  He is in the favor of the fleet and the captain, so I am going to sell him to the association, and I will let you, the captain, keep it for me for the time being!"

    Curly Hair is a person who is easily contented, and he is not stupid. He knows what it means to be moved by money. Although the nugget gold he found belongs to him, the people in the fleet are all from the slave-catching team.  Who knows if any of the guys licking blood from the blade of a knife are blinded by money? If someone plots against them on the way back, not only will their money be gone, but their lives will also be at risk.  superior.  It is precisely because of this that he immediately said that he would sell to the association, andHe also asked Lu Wan to keep it in advance. In this way, no matter how jealous others were towards him, there was nothing they could do about it.

    Lu Wan also nodded after hearing this. The reason why he asked Curly Mao how to deal with this gold nugget just now was because he was worried that others would be disadvantageous to him because of this thing. Now that he saw Curly Mao being so clever, he nodded with relief.  The discovery of nugget gold also boosted the morale of all the crew members to search for gold, and they all ran around like headless flies. Unfortunately, not everyone has such good luck as Curly Hair, but Feng Shijie did not join the others.  Instead of trying your luck, go to the river with your bare feet and start digging out the sand in the river!
