Chapter 43 Weird Jade
On the banks of the river, sand and stones are mixed together, and it is quite laborious to dig.
After digging about one meter deep, Cai Hongming didn't see anything below, so he couldn't help but have doubts about the little fat worm, so he took it out and put it in the pit. The little fat worm looked around and seemed to be sensing something, and began to circle around again, and then nodded wildly to the ground in the middle. It seemed that there was something really, so Cai Hongming put it away and continued to dig down.
Shi Wan'er saw it and quickly asked him to give her the little fat worm.
When the little fat cuckold saw her reaching out, he felt scared and hurriedly drilled into Cai Hongming's clothes. Cai Hongming shrugged and said he had no choice. Shi Wan'er was so angry that she pouted, as if she was a ball.
I continued to dig down and reached almost two meters deep, and finally got a harvest.
Cai Hongming saw a layer of sand on the wall of the pit, with a layer of pebbles smoothly washed by the river, and there were more or less jade hidden among the pebbles. Although it was not big, it was a lot of quantity. He was so excited that he took a shovel to dig it to the side. The pit, which was originally only more than one meter in diameter, was dug about two meters. He stopped to dig it to the side until he could not find the jade again. However, he felt that there should be jade below, so he continued to dig it down.
On Kunlun Mountain, every year when the snow water melts and spring and summer rainwater will form a mountain torrent that washes down a large amount of soil, sand and stones on the mountain, and then is entrained by the rapid surge of river water and rushes downstream.
Some were washed to the shore, and over time, they formed layers of sand, stones, and layers of soil.
Many so-called experts say that the Yulong Kashgar River was dug with holes that deteriorated the environment in Hotan, which is actually ridiculous.
This statement is not so-called.
They have never investigated it. They don’t know what the local environment is like? Regardless of whether you dig or not, the river is like that, without any vitality, and there is any damage. Moreover, the next year, the mountain torrent caused by the melting snow on Kunlun Mountain will wrap a lot of mud and sand to smooth out some of the excavated traces. In fact, it is no different from before. If the government attaches enough importance to it, maybe they can take advantage of the opportunity of being dug by jade merchants to repair part of the Yulong Kashgar River in the city. But how can ordinary people do such a thing that is not good?
After digging down, Cai Hongming harvested some mutton fat jade seeds.
Some are as small as a little finger, but because they are washed by rivers, they are buried in the soil for a long time, and they look delicate and warm, as white as grease, and are top-notch collectibles. For materials like this, the market price is at least 15,000 per gram.
At noon, Ji Dong, who came back from looking for jade, was stunned when he saw the jade he dug. There were too many jades! Although some were very small, they were large in quantity. After counting, there were more than thirty pieces. They could make a set of jewelry for Shi Wan'er. They were not stupid. They could find jade when they saw digging here. After dinner, they each marked a place and dug it hard. Not to mention that they really dug it. Although it was not big, the quality was far better than the materials they found earlier.
When Cai Hongming saw that they were digging jade by the river, he also dug it hard, as if he was afraid that they would dig away the jade in their pit.
His silly look made Shi Wan'er laugh so happy. She was not idle either. In addition to handing her husband water and towels, she also went to spy on the enemy's situation to see how Ji Dong and the others gained.
Cai Hongming buried his head and dug some seed jade. It seems that no one has dug this place, there is so much jade. It is considered that God has a good eye and made him a great market. However, at this time he had already dug eight meters deep. It was also in this season when there was no water, otherwise the groundwater would have penetrated in and continued to dig down. Suddenly, a "kneel" sound came from below, as if he had dug a big stone. I don't know if it was jade, so he quickly used his hands to carefully remove the sand and soil on it and clean the stone.
The stone is about one hug, half a meter deep, with some traces on it, which looks no different from ordinary pebbles, but it looks a little better and feels very warm.
Cai Hongming took out a strong flashlight and shone it on the stone. He suddenly realized that the layer of pebbles on the surface of the stone was very thin. It was shined in by the strong flashlight. Looking closely, you could see that there was a white piece inside, which was mutton fat and jade seed material.
Just as he was about to take back the strong light flashlight and dig out the mutton fat and jade seed material, he suddenly discovered something strange. He felt that the things inside the stone seemed to be not jade material, but water.
How could it be water?
Cai Hongming felt strange and quickly picked up the flashlight and shone it on the stone. He shook the stone with confidence to see if it was his own illusion. After he carefully observed it, he found that it really shook inside the stone, as if it was really water. How could it be water? How could it be water? It's really strange.
For a moment, Cai Hongming was confused.
Suddenly, he remembered that the little fat worm was circling around this land just now, and obviously found something good. Could it be this stone? He thought to himself that he found the little fat worm. Shi Wan'er saw that the little fat worm was getting into his clothes. In fact, he had already taken the little fat worm into the blessed land in the jade tripod while she was not paying attention.
As soon as the little fat worm was placed on the stone, he was very excited and made a childish sound of unknown what it was. He buried his head in the stone and started to chew on it, but it was obvious that it was useless.
When the matter came here, Cai Hongming already understood that this stone was what the little fat worm was looking for. Although he didn't know what it was, it must be a treasure and he had to put it away. He looked up and found that his wife was not there, so he put the stone into the blessed land in the cave in the jade tripod.
This is to avoid being fussed by everyone, especially if Akibig knew that he might be sold to him after he went back, and it might cause some trouble, so he would just put it away and take it back and study it slowly.
Perhaps because he dug too deep, he put a handful of stone into the blessed land of the cave in the jade tripod, and the groundwater suddenly penetrated from below, with a very fast speed and instantly flooded a large area.
When Cai Hongming saw that it was not good, he quickly put away the little fat worm and climbed out of the pit. After a while, the pit he dug was flooded by water. Ji Dong and the others were digging the pit for jade. Seeing that something was wrong, they quickly jumped out of the pit. Fortunately, they found that it was timely and no one was flooded, otherwise it would have been difficult in this cold day.
There have been many holes dug in this place and are no longer suitable for rest.
So, they found a place to settle on the river bank they had walked past.
