That night, except for a few children and Lu Chuanbei and others who were tired after a day of work, everyone fell asleep as soon as they went to bed.
The villagers of Linye Village hardly had a good night's sleep.
Especially after Uncle Lin returned from the villa, he gathered the villagers together, told Song Tiantian that he had found the Huanglong Jade in the pond, and asked them to look through the village's information to see if there were any similar records in the village.
With this mobilization, the "left-behind" elderly people in the village, all lit lamps and put on reading glasses, and began to look through various family genealogies and so on in the village.
Unfortunately, these materials almost only record the major events and personnel changes that occurred in the village, and do not mention anything about Huanglong Jade.
Only the family tree was on the first page, which mentioned that the ancestors saved people and repaid their gratitude by finding an island on the sea for their village to settle down, and also gave the village some feng shui to protect their descendants and bring them wealth and prosperity.
After warning future generations not to fill in the pond, there has been no other record related to this incident.
After looking through the village records several times and finding no record of the pond or Huanglong jade, Grandma Lin took off her reading glasses.
She looked at Uncle Lin, who was still sitting under the lamp, flipping through the family tree. "Old Lin, are you sure that piece of Yellow Dragon Jade was found in the pond? Did they make a mistake?"
"No, I've watched the replay, and it's true that Tiantian brought the jade back from the pond with the fish."
"It's also possible that someone accidentally fell in before." Grandma Lin still didn't believe that there was really a Huanglong jade mine buried under the pond in their village.
If such a good thing really happened, their village wouldn't have to rely on fishing to make a living.
But Uncle Lin always felt that there was something strange about the pond. Especially after being reminded by Uncle Lin Er, he realized that the pond seemed to have indeed caused a lot of disasters for their village...
The next day, before dawn, the villagers who remained in the village had gathered by the pond.
Some of them were already standing in the pond with shovels and digging.
Lu Chuanbei and others were awakened by the noisy sounds coming from the back mountain.
He Xuebin, who had been working hard all day and whose back pain couldn't be relieved even after a good night's sleep, came out of the room, hammering his sore waist, and stood outside the yard, looking towards the back mountain.
"Have you started digging so early in the morning?"
"Yeah." Xu Qi looked at the time tiredly: "We started digging at around five o'clock."
[It seems everyone is quite anxious to know if there is a jade mine beneath the pond.]
[Of course, Huanglong Jade is the hottest jade right now. If we could find it on Shanming Island, the whole village would be filthy rich!]
[Even though I know that even if there is a jade mine, it won't be mine, but for some reason, just thinking about it makes me a little excited!]
[Me too. After all, this is live mining, and the mine is so valuable. Just watching it is worth the price of admission!]
[We're just looking around. Those jade merchants must have already rushed to Hainan by now, right?]
[You might not know this, but they started flying to Hainan yesterday, and some of them are expected to arrive at Shanming Island this morning!]
"No way, are you that impatient? You're already rushing over here before you even know if there's a jade mine on Shanming Island?"
[Let's take a gamble. Huanglong Jade has become a rare resource now. If we can find it on Shanming Island, it will be a first-hand source for purchase!]
The villagers of Linye Village were so excited that Lu Chuanbei and others had no choice but to eat breakfast in a hurry and then go to the pond with tools to help.
In the villa, only Xiangfangnan, who was also woken up, was left at home waiting for Song Tiantian and the others to wake up.
Ever since the thunderstorm that day, when Tiantian was startled by the thunder and couldn't sleep well, the system would lead her to the space to study and rest as soon as she fell asleep.
Because of this, no matter how noisy it is outside, it won't wake her up.
Until Song Tiantian had a good sleep and opened her eyes contentedly: "Mmm, I slept so comfortably!"
Song Tiantian, who had rested enough, jumped off the bed full of energy.
Then she heard bursts of noisy noises outside the villa.
When Song Tiantian opened the floor-to-ceiling window, she heard a few unfamiliar faces arguing not far from the villa.
"I told you not to be impulsive and wait and see. Now you have come here for nothing and found nothing. It is a waste of time." A man in a black T-shirt was complaining to the man with a crew cut.
"I didn't expect this to happen." The man with a crew cut didn't expect that since Song Tiantian discovered the yellow dragon jade in the pond yesterday, the bottom of the pond has been almost dug through, but no second piece has been dug out.
"When I was watching the live broadcast yesterday, everyone said there might be a Huanglong jade mine underneath, but who knew it was just a night-blooming cereus that disappeared in a flash?" The man with the crew cut was still depressed.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not waste time here. Let's go back now. Maybe we can still make it to the second half of the Longling Auction."
"Are we going back now?" The crew-haired man was still a little unwilling: "How about we wait a little longer? Maybe we'll find something later?"
"You can wait if you want." The man in the black T-shirt glanced towards the back mountain and said, "Anyway, I don't think this place can produce Huanglong jade."
"But yesterday they..."
"Yesterday was yesterday. Besides, have you ever seen anyone find only one piece of jade when discovering a jade mine?"
"That's true, but I always feel that there's something special about this variety show with my dad. Besides, didn't you see the scene where they discovered black truffles in Beiyang Village last episode? I think we might find something this time too."
"You don't really believe what they show on variety shows, do you?" The man in the black T-shirt looked at him in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Don't you know that many shows these days are scripted? Besides, when have you ever seen a three-year-old find black truffles on his own?"
"You said that was all scripted?"
"Otherwise, you wouldn't really believe that a three-year-old child could know so much, right?"
Song Tiantian listened to the conversation between the two people outside the villa, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Script? Do we have a script for our show?"
[Pfft...these two people were talking so happily, I almost believed them.]
Tiantian was bewildered. "Does our production team have a script? When did this happen? Why don't I know about it?"
[This is hilarious. Those two people at the beginning were so confident in what they said. If I hadn't watched the live broadcast, I would have believed it.]
[That's right, with my dad, we're live streaming almost all day except for his private sleeping time. Who can write such a long script without revealing anything?]
[At least it can't and shouldn't be. Besides, if there really was a script, Niannian would have already shouted it out...]
[That's right, Nian Nian is a big leak. If he could hold it in, he wouldn't let Dabin chase him and beat him.]
[Okay, forget about listening to it, but those two are right. I guess there really aren't any Huanglong jade mines here...]
[I hate to admit it, but I've been digging since yesterday, and apart from the piece of Huanglong jade that Tiantian accidentally brought back while fishing, I haven't found a second piece yet...]
[I was so excited when I watched the live broadcast yesterday. But come to think of it, if the Huanglong jade mine was so easy to discover, Shanming Village would have become rich a long time ago.]
[But I wasn't prepared. Shanming Village is the next Beiyang Village. When black truffles were discovered in Beiyang Village, many people were in disbelief that such a precious ingredient could be found in a small northern village.]
How can they be the same? Beiyang Village at least has the conditions for growing black truffles, but isn't Huanglong Jade generally found in Yunnan? This is Hainan, and it's on an island...
Although Song Tiantian was puzzled as to why the two strangers downstairs said that, she didn't think too much about it and went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
And when she came out, the little girl tied herself into a simple ponytail. Although it was a little crooked, it still looked very cute.
Song Tiantian tilted her head in front of the mirror and walked out of the room.
Xiangfangnan heard footsteps and looked up, and saw Song Tiantian walking down from upstairs with cheerful steps.
Song Tiantian glanced downstairs and said, "Nannan, why are you the only one here? Where are my dad and the others?"
Xiangfangnan glanced at Song Tiantian's pigtails with a little disappointment before he stood up and said to her, "Uncle Lu and the others went to the pond to dig for Huanglong jade."
"Oh~" Song Tiantian nodded in understanding: "No wonder it's so noisy outside, it turns out everyone is digging a pond."
"Yes, are you hungry? I'll bring you breakfast."
"I'll help you carry it." Song Tiantian trotted over and went to the kitchen with Xiangfangnan.
For convenience in the morning, Xu Qi simply cooked some millet porridge with milk, and boiled a few eggs and sandwiches.
Although the food is simple, the taste is not bad at all.
Song Tiantian took a small spoon and drank a full bowl of millet porridge, and also ate a boiled egg and a whole small sandwich.
"Hmm, the sandwiches made by Uncle Xu are so delicious!" Song Tiantian swallowed the last bite of the sandwich with satisfaction.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Uncle Xu made a lot."
"No, no, I'm already 80% full!" Song Tiantian touched her belly and made an 80% full gesture towards Xiangnan.
"Then you sit down and rest for a while, I'll clean up the dishes." Xiangfangnan said, and took the dishes that Song Tiantian had used to eat to the dishwasher to wash them clean.
[To be honest, Nan Nan is a real warm-hearted man! ]
【Woo woo, there is such a caring little boy! 】
[I've opened Nan Nan's livestream so my son can watch it. I don't know if he understands what I mean.]
[This is a good idea, I will arrange it for my son now! ]
"Nannan, where are Niannian and the others?"
"They've already gotten up and are going to the pond."
"Then let's go to the pond to help." Song Tiantian said, and went to the tool shed to get a small shovel.
Xiangfangnan looked at her excited look and didn't have the heart to tell her that there were already too many people over there at the pond and they didn't need any help at all.
As soon as they came out of the villa, there were so many people outside that Song Tiantian couldn't help but wonder if they had come to some tourist attraction: "Nannan, why are there so many people here all of a sudden?"
"Well," Xiangfangnan said, glancing at the unfamiliar faces around him, "they're all jade merchants coming to Shanming Island to purchase Huanglong jade."
"Purchasing Huanglong jade?" Song Tiantian said hesitantly, "But I just heard someone say that Huanglong jade hasn't been dug up yet. Could it be that it has been dug up now?"
He shook his head towards the south.
The jade merchants who came to Shanming Island to purchase Huanglong Jade were almost going crazy at this moment, but even so, they could not dig out Huanglong Jade from the pond they had high hopes for.
This made the jade merchants who thought they had seen the business opportunity in advance and wanted to make a fortune regret it. They regretted that they impulsively came to Shanming Island as soon as they saw the hot search, which led to the dilemma they are facing now.
Some jade merchants who have some knowledge of jade mines, after seeing the situation near the pond, directly concluded that there could be no minerals on Shanming Island, and that the piece of Huanglong jade raw stone found in the pond yesterday was more likely just an accident.
Upon hearing this, several impulsive jade merchants changed their expressions on the spot and turned around to leave Shanming Island.
As Song Tiantian walked along, she saw several jade merchants had very complicated expressions when they saw her, but in the end, these people didn't say anything and hurriedly left.
[Tsk tsk, these people are so miserable. They rushed here so early in the morning and have been waiting since then, but haven't even seen a hair of Huanglongyu...]
What's so tragic about this? They all volunteered. No one forced them to come.
[That was yesterday's trending topic, with rumors of Huanglong jade being discovered on Shanming Island and suspected jade mines. That's why they believed it and came here.]
[Indeed, the trending search accounts for a large part of the reason. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many jade merchants rushing to Hainan. Now it seems all their efforts have been wasted.]
It’s too early to say that now…
[Yes, some people are exaggerating. Jade mining is not a quick process. Besides, from the discovery of Huanglong jade to the preparation for mining, including the time spent cleaning the pond yesterday, it only took one day. Isn't it normal that we didn't find anything?]
"Well, in some places, it takes years from exploration to mining to find the mineral. This only took one day. Is it really necessary to make a big deal out of it?"
[But didn't those jade merchants say that Huanglong jade mines are generally found in Longling, Yunnan, and the surrounding Supa River area? This place is so far from Yunnan, and it's on an island, so the probability of finding Huanglong jade is extremely low.]
[Extremely low doesn’t mean zero…]
[But if it really existed, why wouldn't it have remained undiscovered until now? ]
[That's right, Lin Qi and his ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years. They wouldn't have missed it, right?]
