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...
"It's nothing, it's no big deal. Just tell me when you want to eat it, and I'll grill it again," Chen Feng said with a nonchalant smile.
"Okay, I'll head back now. You all should get some rest too," Xia Yingying said, returning to the villa and closing the door.
"Sizzle." Lin Nian brought over some water and extinguished the embers, sending up some smoke.
If this were in the wild, he definitely wouldn't care, but this is in the yard after all, and it wouldn't be good if two pieces were blown away by the wind.
"Wash up, go to sleep." Chen Feng tossed away his cigarette butt and stretched.
After tidying up, the two lay down in the car to sleep, with Chen Feng as the bed and Lin Nian in the passenger seat.
After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, Xia Yingying sat on her big bed with the box of daifuku that Chen Feng had given her on her lap.
I picked a pink one and put it in my mouth. As soon as I bit into it, the filling flowed out, and the sweet cherry blossom flavor spread throughout my mouth.
Holding the box, Xia Yingying felt for the first time that she wasn't so lonely after all.
This feeling is wonderful.
The box of antidepressants lay quietly in the drawer, untouched since Chen Feng arrived.
The next morning, Lin Nian and Chen Feng finished washing up, ate something casually, and headed to the place they had visited the day before.
When they arrived at the location, Chen Feng first looked for a spot, while Lin Nian waited there with his tools.
Chen Feng walked forward from where he was yesterday for about six or seven minutes before finally choosing a decent spot.
Anyway, Chen Feng's standard now is that there must be no less than three pieces of gold and no less than ten pieces of goods before it's worth doing.
Otherwise, it's all a waste of time.
The first pit I found today was pretty good; there were about thirteen or fourteen pieces, three of which were gold.
After making a random mark, Chen Feng turned around and started the excavator. Lin Nian knew he had found a spot and insisted on getting on.
Otherwise, he would have to follow Chen Feng around. Of course, he mainly wanted to ride in the excavator, and it would be even better if he could drive it.
After arriving at the location with Lin Nian in his car, Chen Feng began digging a pit. The cargo was about one to two meters and seven or eight meters long, so he first dug away the soil on one side.
Then they dug out the soil from below and spread it out to the side. When they felt it was about right, Chen Feng and Lin Nian got out of the car together.
After checking and finding that there were no goods left inside, Chen Feng waved his hand, signaling Lin Nian to get to work.
Lin Nian carried the detector to the patch of soil and began probing from the top. Chen Feng moved the excavator forward a little to avoid hitting Lin Nian.
After getting off the bus and continuing his search for a spot, Chen Feng wandered around for four or five minutes before finally finding another good location.
There are about seventeen or eighteen items at this spot, five of which are gold, which is a pretty good drop rate.
However, there was a dead tree in this area, and one side of it was even split open. Chen Feng had to pry the dead tree out first.
Chen Feng turned around, got the excavator on, and drove it to the front of the dead tree.
I pushed the dead tree hard first, and the broken side of the tree wobbled, but it didn't seem to be breaking yet.
Chen Feng worked hard to dig soil around the dead tree. As each shovelful of soil was removed, the tree roots that stretched far out were revealed.
Operating the excavator back and forth, Chen Feng soon dug down the tree again when he lowered the shovel, and it fell down, lying across the ground.
Chen Feng used a shovel to pull the dead tree away, continuing to pull it far away until he was no longer in the area.
Turning back, Chen Feng continued to operate the excavator to dig. This time, Chen Feng dug deeper because the shallowest part of the pit was about 1.5 meters deep.
After digging out the soil on top, Chen Feng reached down and pulled out the goods along with the soil.
It was almost flat on the ground. Chen Feng got out of the car and looked at it again. In the end, he still missed a piece of goods, which was a piece of gold.
It was right at the corner opposite Chen Feng, but Chen Feng couldn't reach it right now. He could only circle the pit with the excavator before he could reach the edge of the goods and put the shovel down.
After quickly prying the item out, Chen Feng checked it and, finding no problems, continued driving forward to find the next location.
Lin Nian, squatting on that patch of earth, continued scavenging for goods.
"Ooh-woo~"
Hearing the sound, Lin Nian chuckled, gently shook the shovel, and continued digging at the soil.
After digging around a few times, Lin Nian continued to check the detector and found that it was still beeping, so he started searching directly in the shovel.
He quickly found a small gold bean in a pile of sand. The bean wasn't big, but Lin Nian estimated it was worth about six or seven hundred.
Lin Nian put the gold beans into the bottle, picked up the detector, and continued walking forward.
After scanning back and forth a few times, the detector beeped again. Lin Nian reached back and took out a small shovel, squatted down and started digging.
However, this first shovelful was messy and uneven, unlike the usual clean and efficient work. In fact, when Lin Nian lifted the shovel, he was pulled by it instead.
Lin Nian also noticed that underneath was a white, tattered plastic bag, which looked quite old, with large and small holes in it.
Lin Nian reached out and tried to pull the plastic bag out, but it was buried too deep. Not only did he fail to pull it out, he also broke the bag, leaving half of it buried in the soil.
Lin Nian casually shoveled the soil behind him, then started to cover the plastic bag.
With just a couple of shovelfuls, he dug the plastic bag out. There was still soil inside, so just to be on the safe side, Lin Nian put the plastic bag through a detector.
Only after the detector stopped making a sound did he throw the plastic bag behind him, clap his hands, and pick up the shovel again.
Chen Feng had already turned over the soil here, so the digs weren't very deep. Lin Nian basically just kept the detector next to him, digging a bit and then moving on, and if there was no sound, he would continue digging.
Moreover, Lin Nian's movements were incredibly fast, almost indistinguishable from a normal person digging a hole and then using a detector.
After digging about a dozen shovelfuls, the detector responded with a "whoosh~". Lin Nian was stunned for a moment and immediately threw the soil out of the shovel.
Only after he finished winnowing did he belatedly realize what had happened, and he quickly turned around to look at the pile of soil he had just wonnowed.
Looking back and forth, but not seeing any sign of the goods, Lin Nian used a shovel to scrape up the surface layer and passed it through the detector.
The detector didn't respond, so Lin Nian threw it away and continued shoveling another layer.
This time the detector reacted, and there wasn't much soil in the shovel, so Lin Nian simply used his hands to look for it. After rummaging around for a bit, Lin Nian saw a dark yellow object.
It blends in with the soil like a rock, and it's quite well disguised.
Reaching out to pick up the small gold nugget, Lin Nian smiled. This gold nugget wasn't small; Lin Nian weighed it in his hand and felt it was worth at least two or three thousand.
Great, two gold coins in a row! This place is amazing! I bet even Brother Feng didn't expect to get gold coins in a row, haha.
