During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Although Old Chen didn't understand why, he knew what he should say and what he shouldn't say.
But in this situation, he really couldn't think of any other solution. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea and said, "How about we build a raft and let Ye Zhuangshi sit on it and float down the river below?"
"Will this work?" Boss Cheng was the first to ask the question.
Old Chen scratched his neck and said, "The snow is so thick and the slope is so steep. Especially since Master Ye is injured, it's difficult for us to rescue him safely.
“Although I have never walked along the river below, its lower reaches are indeed at the foot of the mountain.
"We call this place Jiapiqiao locally. There are cliffs on both sides and nothing there, so normally no one comes here.
"But if we go downstream, we should be able to reach the foot of the mountain smoothly."
Boss Cheng thought about it, and then looked at the still heavy snow, knowing that the current situation did not allow him to delay any further.
So he shouted a few words to Boss Ye at the bottom of the slope, told him Old Chen's opinion, and then asked him what he thought.
Boss Ye thought about it and felt that although this method had some risks, it was the best solution after weighing the pros and cons.
So he shouted upwards, "Okay, I get it. I trust Uncle Chen's judgment. Let's do it this way. Help me build a raft as quickly as possible and slide down the snow on the slope!"
Although Boss Ye's voice sounded loud and confident, Boss Cheng was still worried.
He first directed everyone to cut down trees on the spot, and soon they built a raft.
Then he waved to Deng Shangwei.
"Old Deng, come here.
"I'm still worried about leaving Boss Ye alone, so get a rope and let me down too.
"Then you lead the team for me, and we'll meet up at the foot of the mountain."
After hearing this, the guide Old Chen became more certain of his previous feeling that Boss Ye was indeed the backbone of this team.
Except for the guide Old Chen, everyone else knew that Boss Ye was not only related to the Qin Mansion, but now also had close ties with Prince Rui's Mansion, so no one wanted him to get into any trouble.
But Deng Shangwei still said, "Boss Cheng, I think you should continue to lead the team, and I will go down to accompany Ye Zhuangshi."
Unexpectedly, Boss Cheng, who is usually easy to talk to, was particularly insistent today for some reason, leaving no room for negotiation.
Others only know that Boss Ye is now involved with Prince Rui's Mansion.
But only Boss Cheng himself knew that the person who hired him to go outside the Great Wall to find the child was from Prince Rui's Mansion.
Now the child has been found in the Ye family, and the relationship here is not that simple.
Not to mention that before he set off, someone from Prince Rui's Mansion came and gave him some silver, asking him to take good care of Boss Ye.
Therefore, for Boss Cheng, taking good care of Boss Ye is the most important task of his trip.
Unable to persuade Boss Cheng, everyone took out a rope and tied it around his waist, preparing to let him down first and then lower the raft so that he could help.
By this time, Boss Ye had already gotten up, tied the bag on his back, and limped towards the river, wanting to see if the conditions downstream were suitable for releasing the raft and whether there would be any obstacles.
But when he walked a few steps forward and reached the river, he was suddenly dazzled by a bright light.
At first, Boss Ye thought it was the light reflected from the sunlight on the snow.
He squinted his eyes because of the dazzle, but soon realized something was wrong.
The light was not white, but golden.
He looked intently at the source of the light, and then he found that there were flashes of golden light in the shallow river water.
Boss Ye wanted to get closer to take a look, but he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the river, so he simply knelt in the snow by the river, and then got close to the water to take a closer look.
The river water here is so clear that even the sand and gravel below are clearly visible.
And among those sands and gravels, there was actually a lot of gold sand mixed in.
For a moment, Boss Ye couldn't tell whether this was golden sand or gold mixed in the sand?
He had also heard the legend of the gold diggers.
But this is the first time I've seen it in person.
The gold was mixed in the sand so brightly that it made people tremble with fear.
At this moment, Boss Ye wanted to jump down and start picking up gold!
Fortunately, reason overcame impulsive desire in the end. No matter how good or how much gold there is, it is yours only if you are still alive to take it back.
Even if it's for gold, it's not worth dying here.
But although he controlled the urge to jump into the river to fish for gold, Boss Ye still began to consider other options.
If we can make a handy tool, can we catch gold without going into the water?
Before Boss Ye could figure out what to use to make this tool, he heard Boss Cheng's voice calling from not far behind him.
"Master Ye, where are you? Your foot is injured, don't walk around!"
"Boss Cheng, why are you coming down?" Boss Ye was extremely surprised, but he didn't mean to hide anything. He shouted in his direction, "I'm over here, come here quickly!"
When Boss Cheng heard this, he thought that Boss Ye needed his help with something, so he hurried over, taking one step forward and one step back.
"What's wrong? Why are you kneeling by the river? It's so cold. Be careful not to fall in.
"Are you thirsty and want some water? I brought a water bag with me..."
