Chapter 39 Looking for Jade (3)
The car kept driving forward, and there were machinery and people digging for jade everywhere in the Yulong Kashgar River section next to it.
When there are many people digging for jade, a market will naturally form. Some smart little businessmen do their business here. The dry riverbed is like a small market, selling drinking water, naan, mutton, and fruits, as well as jade buyers who are waiting here. Not only that, there are many buses parked next to them, waiting for people who are digging for jade to go back.
On the riverbed, the elderly, women, and even children were carrying pickaxes on their shoulders and shovels in their hands.
Due to years of mining and picking, the jade on the Hetian River Beach is becoming increasingly rare, and it is no longer possible to be like the grand occasion of King Mu of Zhou going to Kunlun to "take the three jade vehicles" and "carry tens of jades" when he went to Kunlun during his Western tour.
, after working for a few days, it took them a pit that was the size of a room on the old riverbed. After each stone in this pit was combed through their fingers, they might not get a good piece of jade. But even if they did this, they still worked hard every day, hoping to find what they wanted from the piles of stones.
In the market, a half-foot square mutton fat jade pot is worth RMB 2.8 million, and it is still appreciating.
The driving force of interests makes them ignore the scorching sun above their heads and the dust and sand in the sky. They just search for treasure jade in the endless familiarity. It can be said that these stones carry their dreams and hopes.
All miracles are waiting in the unknown, this is a deep and destiny labor.
No one can get nothing, no one can get rewards in an instant. Therefore, no one dares to neglect.
While driving, Akibig told Cai Hongming that one of his friends invested tens of thousands of yuan to find jade in the Yulong Kashgar River, but forty days passed and there was nothing. It took 1,000 yuan to dig this way. But when his friends invested on the 41st day without hesitation, a 16 kilogram of mutton fat jade appeared in front of him.
Looking for jade in Hotan is not just about dealing with stones, but also about fighting with your own endurance and confidence.
The car drove on the provincial road for an hour and a half and finally arrived at the place where Cai Hongming looked for Yu.
They got out of the car and drove the yak down. They tied the things they brought to the yak, and said goodbye to Akibig and embarked on a journey to find jade.
Although this place is dozens of kilometers away from Hotan, people still come here to find jade. Cai Hongming and others rode yaks and walked forward not long after. They saw an old man holding a piece of jade he had just found, smiling happily at the sun. The wrinkles on his face were enough to kill mosquitoes.
It was a piece of blue and white jade seed material. It was delicate in texture, distinct black and white, and large in size. It was worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, no wonder he was so happy.
This also strengthened Cai Hongming and others' confidence in finding jade.
After walking a little further, Cai Hongming and others jumped off the yak and began to search on the river bank. After searching for a while, Cai Hongming suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Let's say yes! Whoever found the jade belongs to whom, so as not to get out of balance when the spoils are divided."
After hearing his words, everyone looked at him with contempt. He probably could only do this. How could a person like them do this?
Seeing that they didn't care about their words, Cai Hongming was too lazy to say it, so he buried his head in searching for jade with Shi Wan'er.
In a villa in Hotan City, a man in a black robe stood respectfully next to Kazakhsah to report.
After the report, Hassa sat on a luxurious retro lounge chair and said to him: "Tell them that I only want Ayiguli and others will deal with it casually."
"Yes." The man in black robe said and stepped out.
Hassa narrowed his eyes and looked at the fireplace opposite, not knowing what he was thinking.
Cai Hongming and others walked forward while looking for jade. Perhaps because people often came to find jade on this section of the river bank, they searched for a long time but couldn't find a piece of jade. Shi Wan'er found a few pebbles of good quality, so she put them away with them and wanted to take them back to play with those little kids in Yaya. Cai Hongming didn't know what to say after seeing it. Don't you think it's a burden?
The Yulong Kashgar River where they are located is sandwiched between two mountains. Once noon passes, the sunlight shines will be blocked by the mountains beside them and become dark.
In order to get out of this valley where the mountains are blocked from the sunshine as soon as possible, they hurried to go after lunch.
It was the end of October, and sometimes snowflakes floated in the sky, but fortunately it was not very big, so it stopped immediately. However, the weather gradually became colder, and the temperature was about the same time. In addition, the mountains blocked the sun, making it even colder.
Walking forward is a darker road than before. After this period, the mountains gradually cannot block the sunshine in the sky and become brighter.
Yaks are very cold-resistant and load-bearing livestock. Although they bring a lot of things and Cai Hongming and others ride on it, they still walk leisurely on the dry river bank. Especially the golden-wire yaks, although they bear the weight of Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er, they don't seem to feel anything and their steps are still so calm.
Several people were riding yaks forward, and suddenly, a slight sound came from the front.
In this quiet place, even the sound of a mosquito can be clearly noticed, so the slight sound is easily heard by Cai Hongming and others. Ji Dong and others are experienced special forces soldiers, and have received various trainings. Although they have retired, the alertness is still there. When they hear the sound, they suddenly feel something is wrong. It is not any natural sound, not the sound of wind, not the sound of falling rocks, nor the sound of running water, as if it is the sound of a person stepping on a stone.
Ji Dong frowned, raised his hand, signaling that he stopped, and then asked Pan Haimin, who was walking in front, to check it out.
In this place where there is no one inhabited and no one is in the world, you must be careful when you move. Because no one cares about it, the beast nature in people's hearts will burst out infinitely, and killing and robbing is also common, so you must be careful in everything.
Pan Haimin stepped down to look forward, but after walking a few steps, he saw several people suddenly slashing out from a stone in front of him with knives.
He quickly retreated. Ji Dong and others from behind looked at it, and quickly took out their weapons with them and rushed forward. Cai Hongming, who was sitting on the back of the yak, looked at it, and a flying crane spread its wings, jumped up directly from the yak, and rushed towards the group of murderers holding long swords.
Shi Wan'er, who was sitting in front of him, almost screamed by his sudden movement, but after realizing that he shouldn't have spoken to everyone at this time, he quickly covered his mouth.
The six murderers holding long swords were obviously trained, with ruthless movements and ambitions to kill.
Unfortunately, in front of Ji Dong and other veterans who retired from the special forces and Cai Hongming, they were like slags and were easily cleaned up.
After knocking them down, Ji Dong and others took them behind the stone to ask, seeing who dared to kill themselves in the open world. Unfortunately, these people were very hard-mouthed. Whether it was the methods used by Ji Dong and others, or Cai Hongming's disorganized muscles and bones, they kept silent and endured very terrible.
It seems that these are not ordinary people, and if they were ordinary people, they would never be so tough.
Although these people didn't say a word, they found a satellite phone from them. With this phone, people can ask people to find out the source of the signal, be lucky, and even position the other party through the signal.
It would be useless to see that these people could not speak anymore. Cai Hongming made an excuse to take these murderers away from their place, and then put them into the blessed land in the jade cauldron and buried them under the tea tree as fertilizer. These people are so tough that they were dead soldiers in ancient times, and there was absolutely no reason to let them go. Moreover, Cai Hongming was not the kind of person who was killed and smiled at others. Since he was here, don’t think about going back.
All the things on these people were left behind, and in addition to a few long swords, there were also a few small swords.
The long knife is in the Arabic scimitar style and looks very sharp.
Chen Dashan, who was next to him, picked up a knife and waved it a few times. He felt good, so he tried to slash a big stone by the river, and cut off a corner of the stone.
Cai Hongming looked at it and felt that the knife was still sharp, but suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he quickly looked at the stone that had been cut by the knife. For a moment, he couldn't help but be stunned.
