I'm Just Panning for Gold, What Does the Gold Price Drop Have to Do with Me?

Financial crisis, big salary cuts, fresh graduates fighting fiercely for a job paying only 1,200 yuan. Fresh graduate Chen Feng couldn't stand the gap and became a loafer at home, smoking and d...

Chapter 159 This feels so good

Chen Feng pulled the stick off and threw it aside, then put the axe aside as well. He then picked up the detector and shovel and began to probe.

Chen Feng drew a circle with his eyes and then started probing from the top.

As he probed down line by line, Chen Feng would occasionally smell a foul odor whenever he reached a certain direction.

What could he do? He didn't want to either; he just couldn't hold it in any longer!

After probing a few more rows, the detector in Chen Feng's hand beeped, confirming that the goods were right below, unfortunately, right on the edge near a certain direction.

Chen Feng squatted down, scooped up a shovelful of soil, and ran it over the detector. The detector didn't beep, so he threw the soil away.

Just as he was about to dig a second shovel, the smell wafting from the side made him frown.

Chen Feng initially intended to wait a bit, dig out the goods, and then leave, but he sensed that the goods were buried quite deep and estimated that he would have to dig for a while longer.

Thinking of this, he couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up a shovel, went over, and covered his masterpiece with a thick layer of soil.

After covering Chen Feng up, he finally felt comfortable, but he felt like he was behaving like a cat.

This feeling is really weird; he never thought he would be able to empathize with a cat one day.

Carrying his shovel, Chen Feng went back and continued digging, shoveling the soil over the detector one shovelful after another.

Soon, a small mound of earth was piled up next to Chen Feng. The hills were indeed hills, burying the goods deep.

Only after digging a deep pit in front of him did Chen Feng's shovel start to make a sound. He shook it slightly and continued to pass the detector.

To be honest, Chen Feng would be content with a few hundred yuan from this windfall.

He doesn't mind spending tens of yuan; he can even find goods while going to the toilet. What's the difference between this and giving them to you for free?

Chen Feng shook the shovel a few more times, and he saw a small yellow piece emerge from the surface. When Chen Feng saw that small piece, his eyes instantly filled with disbelief.

"ah?"

He reached out and picked up the gold nugget, completely bewildered.

Did you really find a gold nugget that easily?

This gold nugget is quite large; Chen Feng estimates it must be worth at least five or six thousand.

"Holy crap... haha."

Unable to contain his joy, Chen Feng rubbed the gold nugget with his hand and looked at it over and over.

Who would have thought that he could find such a large piece of gold just by going to the toilet? It's like God is looking out for him.

"Great, one door has come out. Wait, one door isn't enough, we need so many doors now." Chen Feng couldn't stop smiling as he stuffed the gold into his pocket.

Then, as if feeling guilty, he roughly covered the hole with a shovel, as if afraid that others would see it.

After finishing everything, Chen Feng picked up his axe and began to chop down dead branches and bushes.

After chopping down a roughly bundle, Chen Feng carried the firewood and the detector back home.

When he returned, he found that the fire was already lit.

"Damn it, Fengzi, we thought you were lost. How come it took you so long to chop firewood?" Huang Fei couldn't help but say when Chen Feng returned.

"Hey, I just wandered around for a bit and explored the area." Chen Feng laboriously put the firewood and detector on the ground.

"My goodness, you even use a detector to chop firewood? Don't you find it tiring? Just watching you makes me feel tired. Did you find anything?" Huang Fei chuckled.

"I was just looking for something to eat, and there was nothing there. It's only been a short time; it would be a miracle if I found anything." Chen Feng took the detector and axe back to his car.

"I told you, you're just asking for trouble. I think you've been itching to play around for a while now." Huang Fei looked at Chen Feng with a knowing look on his face.

"Hehe." Chen Feng chuckled without explaining, taking it as tacit agreement.

"Fengzi, let's cook some vegetables, otherwise they'll wilt if left out for too long. Luckily, I'm not tired today and I'm willing to cook."

"Do you want to eat a bite? If you do, you can cook some rice in a lunchbox yourself," Zheng Ping asked Chen Feng.

"Eat, wait for me to get the lunchbox."

Chen Feng returned to his car, took out his lunchbox, and began rinsing the rice.

Stews are a rare treat; we can only eat them these days. After a few more days, we won't be able to eat them anymore.

The vegetables are all wilted, what are we going to eat?

Everyone had rice simmering in their lunchboxes, while Zheng Ping stirred the large pot. By the time the rice was cooked, the stew would probably be done too.

As the sun gradually sets, the heat quietly recedes, replaced by a slight chill.

Fortunately, the chill was dispelled as everyone sat around the fire.

When the rice is cooked and everyone is eating the hot stew together with chopsticks, the feeling of satisfaction is indescribable.

No wonder some people prefer to take advantage of a good day and go on a picnic, even if the food gets burnt, they still find it more delicious than eating at home. There are reasons for all of this.

The meal was quickly finished, and some people even brought some tea leaves from home. Everyone used their own tools to brew some tea and sat around the fire, enjoying it comfortably.

"Smoking a cigarette and sipping tea, how wonderful it would be if life could always be this leisurely," Yin Xing said with a sigh, taking a sip of tea.

"You'll be able to do this when you've paid off your debts and have a little money left," Zheng Ping said with a smile.

"Forget it, by then my son will be all grown up, and I'll have to save money for him to buy a house and get married. I think I'll only be able to relax like this when I can no longer work," Yin Xing said, shaking his head.

"A person should have dreams. What if you dig up a big piece of gold tomorrow? Then you'll have everything!" Huang Fei said, flicking his cigarette butt into the fire.

"That's true. I hope that day comes soon, so I don't miss it when I close my eyes."

After Yin Xing finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Although they were poor, everyone's eyes were filled with hope for the future, and everyone who worked hard to make a living deserved respect.

"That's all. Go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow. My big gold is waiting for me." Yin Xing finished the last sip of tea and poured the tea leaves from the cup into the fire.

Everyone did similar things. Chen Feng poured some more hot water into his cup, saving it for when he got thirsty in the middle of the night.

He climbed back into his trunk, preparing to close the trunk lid and go to sleep. The others couldn't help but feel a little envious when they saw Chen Feng's little nest.

"You're really the best, Fengzi."

"Not bad, hehe." Chen Feng said, closed the carriage cover, then took off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

The moment Chen Feng lay down on the bed, he felt incredibly relaxed. It was so damn comfortable!

Reaching out to cover himself with the blanket, the warm comfort quickly lulled Chen Feng into a dream.

On the other side, Zheng Ping and the others returned to their seats, ready to lean back and sleep.

Thanks to Chen Feng's departure, the seat next to Zheng Ping became vacant. Of course, now that everyone knows him, no one wants to sleep next to him anymore.

"Holy crap... such a huge amount of gold... how much is this worth? I'm rich..."
