I was dragged along by Wang Ping, and I staggered a bit. When we got to the cave entrance, I found that a campfire had already been lit inside.

Chen Jian followed behind me. After hearing what Wang Ping said, he seemed a little anxious, but more excited.

No one expected that we had only heard of a gold mine in this place before, but had never seen it, and now these things had appeared right in front of us. It was truly a case of searching high and low without finding it.

I followed Wang Ping into the cave and found that Bai Wei and his men were already inside. These male colleagues had a kind of perverted ecstasy on their faces. They frantically took off their clothes, pants, and wolf pelts, picked up all the gold in heaps and gathered them around them, and then let out meaningless roars and laughter.

Bai Wei was acting like a madman, while Lin Xubo had a piece of gold in his left hand and a piece of gold in his right. Not satisfied with just looking at those, they turned around and ran to the piles of gold to rummage through them.

The sounds inside the cave were deafening. Besides the maniacal laughter, I could even sense that everyone's desires were surging uncontrollably at that moment.

Wang Ping was one of the better-preserved among these people; his face was flushed with excitement, but he stood next to me the whole time, his body trembling slightly.

"Sihai, did you see that? It's all fucking gold!"

gold……

To be honest, seeing so many piles of gold here really excited me.

But after the initial excitement subsided, I immediately calmed down, because it was Xiao He and the others who led us to this mountain.

Clearly, Xiao He and his group knew this a long time ago, and it's possible that this mountain is the gold mine they've been looking for.

What I don't understand is, why did Xiao He and the others bring us here with such a large sum of money?

Chen Jian was also losing his composure at this moment. He rushed into the crowd and pushed several colleagues down. He climbed up the small mountain of gold by himself. Standing on it, he frantically picked up pieces of gold and looked at them as if he wasn't satisfied at all.

After looking at it, he put the gold in his pocket and then laughed heartily at me and Wang Ping.

Wang Ping was excited for a long time. When he saw that I didn't react, he turned to look at me, his eyes still filled with ecstasy.

"Sihai, why aren't you happy? If this gold could be transported to the city, let alone houses and cars, you could even start a company! We're practically standing on a mountain of wealth right now, how can you be so calm!"

I turned to look at Wang Ping and gestured with my lip towards Xiao He and his group standing to the side.

Wang Ping immediately understood and turned to look at Xiao He and his group, and then his expression changed.

I whispered in Wang Ping's ear, "Look, it's not just me who's not excited, they're all the same. That means they probably knew about this place a long time ago, or maybe what they came to this deserted island to look for wasn't this gold mine at all, but something even more attractive to them."

After listening to what I said, Wang Ping's face, which had been all smiles, gradually tightened.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said, "Sihai, what do you mean? I'll listen to you!"

I shook my head: "I don't know what I mean either, but this gold is really tempting. Now that we've found it, we've hit the jackpot. It's a stroke of luck. We should take what we can, since it's real gold."

Wang Ping nodded after listening, then quickly ran out and soon returned with a large wolf pelt. He piled all the gold onto the pelt until it could no longer contain it, then turned and called me over.

I followed Wang Ping and carefully carried the wolf pelt outside, placing it in the sun. The gold glittered under the sunlight.

I finally understand why TV dramas or novels sometimes describe this golden mountain as shining brightly.

Now, as I stand before this gold in person, I realize how damn beautiful the light it gleams.

After the revelry, Chen Jian and Bai Wei calmed down. After all, the gold mine was right under their campsite, and it wouldn't run away.

So even if we don't move the gold out, it will belong to us anyway, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Secondly, even if we hid all this gold and wanted to keep it for ourselves, in this strange place where there is no currency circulation, even if there is gold, it is not as practical as those iron mines.

After all, gold is extremely soft, so it's not very practical to make it into tools or basins.

After everyone calmed down, they were still holding onto their gold and grinning foolishly.

When Wang Xiaoxiao and the others learned that gold had been found here, they were all very excited.

But I kept thinking about why Xiao He and the others brought us here.

If they weren't interested in the gold, then what was it that attracted them?

My mind is full of strange and unusual ideas, and I don't have time to think about anything else right now.

We placed the gold pieces one by one at the entrance, but Bai Wei and the others felt that keeping them nearby was too conspicuous. They said they wanted to block the hole with stones because only then would they feel at ease.

I had no objection. If they wanted to do it, that was fine too. Then we went through the trouble of piling all the gold back up and each of us made our own number.

Everyone is filled with hope and desire.

This time, our efforts were in vain; we arranged for everyone to work together and completely seal off the opening.

Although the group was tired from traveling, no one was in the mood to eat anything that evening.

Xiao Qiang stewed a large pot of sea cucumber soup, but they all seemed uninterested, leaning against the campfire in the camp with strange smiles on their faces.

It's obvious that he's fantasizing about what he would do with all this money if he got off this deserted island.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiang remained calm. She sighed as she looked at the group, then pulled me to the beach and whispered, "I have a feeling that Xiao He and his group have ulterior motives. If this gold mine is so valuable, they could easily keep it for themselves. After all, they should have their own transportation. But now they're just displaying all this stuff to us like this. What are they after? I don't think they're so kind as to want to share this wealth with everyone! There must be a conspiracy here."

I nodded. Xiao Qiang understands me best, but she hasn't told me her purpose in wanting to be with them, so I can't ask her.

Then I can only speculate more in my heart, but I know that even if I don't ask Xiao He, they will definitely find an opportunity to come and tell me.

Because this gold mine is like a sweet treat; once the sweet treat is gone, it'll be time to really fight and risk our lives for them...
