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...
As he probed down row by row, Chen Feng's detector beeped. He squatted down, took out a pickaxe, and began digging into the soil with all his might.
After digging a few times, Chen Feng brought over a detector and ran it over the mound of earth.
"Ooh-woo~"
As soon as the sound rang out, Chen Feng took out a shovel, dug around in the dirt a few times, and a small gold nugget appeared in the mound.
"Wow, this place is amazing!" Chen Feng chuckled as he picked up the gold nugget and straightened up.
The small gold nugget was estimated to be worth over two thousand. Chen Feng looked around, not quite understanding why there were so many goods in this place.
He watched for a while, and seemed to have figured something out. He stepped back several dozen meters and observed the terrain again. Suddenly, he remembered something.
In his past life, he remembered that the gold content was usually higher at the sharp bends of rivers than at other places.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Feng indeed discovered that this place resembled a dried-up river, with a remarkably similar landscape.
No wonder the soil here is so fine and the content of the product is so high.
It turns out that I stumbled upon a river that used to flow there.
Then there's no need to ask what happens next; it's definitely about going upstream along the river. Chen Feng will stay here all day and won't go anywhere else.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zheng Ping leaned against a rock, sweating profusely. He had just sat down, took off his baseball cap to fan himself, and looked around from time to time.
"My God, it's so hot it's unbearable."
Zheng Ping muttered something, took out a large cup from his pocket, and gulped down half of it.
After finishing his drink and lighting a cigarette, he planned to rest for a while before continuing, as he was indeed feeling a bit too tired to work.
After finishing my cigarette, I glanced at my phone. Since I was already sitting here, I figured I might as well just eat lunch.
So he pulled out the old recipe from his pocket, still the familiar pancakes, still the familiar scallions.
With some pickled vegetables and chili sauce, Zheng Ping ate a whole sheet.
Having rested enough, Zheng Ping stood up to prepare for gold panning. But as soon as he stood up and picked up the detector, he felt dizzy and had to hold onto a rock to steady himself.
To be honest, he couldn't be sure if he was suffering from heatstroke or simply dizziness caused by standing up suddenly after sitting for a long time.
After standing with his eyes closed for more than ten seconds, Zheng Ping felt much better and opened his eyes.
Having learned from his previous mistake, Zheng Ping was determined not to take the risk again. Faced with this situation, he decided…
He pulled two vials of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water from his pocket, tilted his head back, and swallowed them all at once.
The strong taste of medicine in his mouth made him grimace. With the buff activated, he picked up the detector and regained his fighting spirit!
I have to shop until 6 PM today and earn back the money for the medicine.
Huang Fei was hiding in the shade under a bush, sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, with a cup of tea beside him, looking very relaxed and carefree.
At first glance, he didn't look like someone who had come to pan for gold; he looked more like an old man relaxing in the shade by the wall.
"Hey, I've been shopping online for three hours today and made fifty yuan. I've already exceeded my target."
"It's time for me to go back to Chen Feng's little bed and get some rest."
"It's so hot today, it would be bad if I got heatstroke. If I got heatstroke, who would go home and get the eggs for my mom?"
Huang Fei quickly convinced himself, picked up his teacup, carried the detector, and slowly walked back.
He wasn't far from the base; it only took him a dozen minutes to walk there. The first thing he did upon returning was to open the trunk of Chen Feng's car and roll down all the windows.
The car had been sitting in the sun with the doors closed for so long, it was even hotter inside than outside.
You need to let the air out first, and once all the hot air inside has escaped, it will be very comfortable to lie down.
"Oh ho~"
Huang Fei lay back on Chen Feng's small bed, lit a cigarette, and looked quite content.
It was already hot, and Huang Fei smoked another cigarette. For some reason, he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.
"I got up so early, it's time to catch up on some sleep."
Huang Fei mumbled something, lay down on Chen Feng's bed, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
Yin Xing was grimacing from the heat in one spot. He had just located a piece of cargo under the scorching sun, and it took him a long time to finally find it by squatting on the ground with a small shovel.
Full of anticipation, he looked at the broken iron nail in his hand, threw it hard on the ground, and said irritably, "Damn it!"
Chen Feng had been searching for a while until after 4 p.m., and he had almost reached the end of the river. He was even starting to lose track of whether this was still within the dry riverbed.
As the river becomes shallower, the dredged soil becomes more and more similar to what it was before.
Reaching out to pick up the silver nuggets from the shovel, Chen Feng squinted from the blazing sun.
Thirty yuan in hand.
Chen Feng took a deep breath and said.
Today his harvest has reached an astonishing 22,000, which just goes to show how amazing this river is.
Chen Feng spent the whole afternoon searching for gold. Although he didn't find any particularly large pieces, he kept catching something every now and then, which felt really great.
Chen Feng was already very satisfied to have found so many goods in the dried-up river that had already been scoured.
After checking the time, Chen Feng started walking towards the base.
We walked quite far with the river today, so we need to head back early.
Moreover, he had already had a very good day, and now all he wanted to do was go back to bed, rest for a while, and have some herbal tea.
It was almost six o'clock when Chen Feng finally walked back. When he dragged his tired body to the Wuling van...
I saw Huang Fei sitting on his small bed, legs crossed, listening to a novel, with a teacup in his hand.
A emotionless female voice came from his phone.
"Today I, Ye Aolong, have returned to avenge the massacre of my entire family ten years ago!"
"What?! You're the Dragon Son-in-Law!" Everyone present was shocked, especially Ye Aolong's mother-in-law, whose face turned pale and she almost knelt down in fright.
"She never imagined that this poor boy who served her tea and water, swept the floor and cleaned the house all day long, and whom she had always looked down upon, would actually become the most powerful son-in-law on Earth!"
"How is this possible!"
Chen Feng almost vomited while listening to Huang Fei's novel; he never expected Huang Fei to have such a taste.
Huang Fei turned around and saw Chen Feng, who was so tired he couldn't straighten up. He immediately stood up, got out of the car, and made room for Chen Feng.
"Brother Feng, please. I even warmed the bed for you. I've been warming it all afternoon!" Huang Fei said solicitously.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng, lying on the bed, said irritably, "Thank you so much for making my bed so warm."
"Come on, Feng-ge, have some tea. I saw your teacup was only half full, so I didn't pour any more and just refilled it. It's already cold now," Huang Fei said, picking up a teacup from the carriage and handing it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng opened the teacup and saw it was full of cold tea. He downed half of it in one gulp, nodded in satisfaction, took a breath, and said, "You kid, you've finally done something decent."
"Look, I'm Brother Feng's most loyal little brother, how could I not know better?" Huang Fei lit another cigarette for Chen Feng.
