Chapter 157



Lin Qi and his team really didn't find any Huanglong jade on Shanming Island. Not only that, there was no record in the village to indicate that there had ever been any trace of Huanglong jade on the island.

Because of this, after they dug the entire pond to a depth of nearly two meters and found no trace of a second piece of Huanglong jade, they began to suspect that the piece of Huanglong jade they picked up yesterday was just an accident.

But even so, things have come to this point.

Especially since there are so many jade merchants on the island waiting for the results of mining, seeing this, Uncle Lin and others can only bite the bullet and continue digging.

But the more they dug, the less energetic everyone became.

Until the end, even Director Liu began to doubt whether he was too impulsive to call Lin Qi and others to discuss the Huanglong Jade matter yesterday.

But no matter what, now that the matter has become a big deal, there must be a result, regardless of whether Huanglong Jade can be unearthed or not.

Just when everyone was under pressure and working hard to dig in the pond, Song Tiantian came running over excitedly with her small shovel.

"Dad, dad, I'm here. Did you dig it up?"

"Tiantian?" Lu Chuanbei immediately thought to himself, "Why are you here like this?" when he saw Song Tiantian.

"Let me help!" Song Tiantian held up her small shovel and shook it excitedly.

By the pond, the jade merchants who had been watching immediately started talking as soon as they saw Song Tiantian.

"Is it her?"

"Yes, it's the Huanglong jade she found while fishing in the pond yesterday."

"Alas, I came all the way from Longling just to see that..."

"Yeah, I thought this time we'd find Huanglong Jade Mine just like the black truffles we found in Beiyang Village last time. Now it seems I was overthinking it."

"Who said it wasn't? We were all careless~"

"So what should we do now? Should we wait?"

"Let's wait a little longer. We're already here, let's take a look at the situation..."

[Looking at the expressions of these jade merchants, it seems they are not very optimistic.]

"Of course I am. I thought I'd find a jade mine soon, but until now there's not even a trace of it. How can I look happy?"

[So, just take a look at trending searches and don't take them too seriously. Look, you've been fooled by them, haven't you?]

Looking at his daughter hurriedly picking up the shovel, Lu Chuanbei couldn't bear to tell her that there might not be any Huanglong jade mine in the pond.

and……

Lu Chuanbei took a look at the huge mud pit in the pond, which was so crowded that there was almost no place to step. He said to Song Tiantian in a roundabout way, "Tiantian, there are already so many people digging the pond. Wouldn't it be inconvenient if you squeezed in?"

Song Tiantian followed his gaze.

The villagers, many staff members brought by Director Liu, and some jade merchants who were eager to know whether there was any jade mine in the pond were all digging desperately with shovels.

Upon seeing this, Song Tiantian's hand holding the shovel suddenly drooped: "Why are there so many people?"

"Yeah, so Tiantian, can you just watch us dig?"

"Okay." Song Tiantian said a little dejectedly, "I wanted to help."

"You're already helping Daddy by coming here." Lu Chuanbei took off his gloves and rubbed Song Tiantian's little head. "Go play over there. When Daddy digs out the jade mine, I'll take you to the reef island to see the turtles!"

Upon hearing this, Song Tiantian immediately became excited: "Then Dad, you should dig faster so that I can go see the turtles earlier."

"Okay." Lu Chuanbei responded straightforwardly, but only he knew the pain in his heart.

After all, we have been digging for so long, and no one knows whether there will be any minerals in the ground.

If this can't be dug out...

Lu Chuanbei felt dizzy just thinking about it!

In order to change his mood, Lu Chuanbei subconsciously rubbed Song Tiantian's head a few times and asked her, "Tiantian, where do you think it's possible to dig out Huanglong Jade here?"

"Here!" Song Tiantian pointed directly at the ground where Lu Chuanbei was standing without thinking: "It's where Dad is standing!"

What he said was so certain.

Lu Chuanbei subconsciously lowered his head and looked at where his feet were.

This is a slope leading up from the pond. When we dug here, we happened to find the stumps of wood that was struck by lightning yesterday.

In order to make it easier to go up and down, they subconsciously avoided it when they dug here and started digging towards the center of the pond, leaving this piece behind.

Lu Chuanbei looked at the roots still emerging from the ground, and then looked at the holes that had been dug. The deepest hole was probably more than two meters deep.

In addition, the place he had just dug was occupied by someone else. Seeing this, Lu Chuanbei nodded directly: "Okay, I'll dig here."

"Yeah, Dad can definitely dig up Huanglong jade!" Song Tiantian said with full confidence.

Lu Chuanbei looked at the little girl's raised face. The chubby baby fat seemed to be trembling. He couldn't help but move his index finger and pinched the little flesh directly: "Thank you for your good words, but if you can really dig it up, Dad will definitely give you a reward!"

"That nest is for raising little Gou Gou!" Song Tiantian said with shining eyes.

"Okay, I'll get a puppy and let you choose one yourself when the time comes."

"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded quickly, and looked towards Lu Chuanbei expectantly: "Then Dad, hurry up and dig."

"Okay." Lu Chuanbei put on gloves, picked up the shovel leaning against the side, got down from the stems and roots covered with mud, and started shoveling.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The shovel must first cut off the stem roots before it can be shoveled up with the mud and soil.

This is also the reason why they left this piece behind. After all, digging it up is not only troublesome and laborious, but also very laborious.

Song Tiantian stood on the shore and shouted to Lu Chuanbei, "Dad, dig a little deeper."

"Okay." Lu Chuanbei picked up the shovel without saying a word and shoveled towards the place where Song Tiantian pointed.

【Xiao Lu really dotes on Tiantian~】

[Although, when it comes to serious work, isn't it a bit too frivolous? ]

[What a joke! It doesn't matter where you dig. What's wrong with digging to the side, just like Tiantian said?]

[You can't just listen to a child's blind orders.]

"What a blind command! Back in the pine forest of Beiyang Village, why didn't you tell Tiantian that she was giving them blind orders to dig for black truffles? Maybe Tiantian actually let Xiao Lu find jade again this time!"

How can the two things be the same? Besides, you don't need a good sense of smell to dig for jade; you can just dig it up with blind command.

[Well, that's hard to say. Maybe Tiantian just blindly gave Xiao Lu the order to dig her out!]

You know what, Song Tiantian is not giving orders blindly.

When Song Tiantian came into contact with the lightning-struck wood yesterday, causing fluctuations in her mental power, she vaguely sensed that something underneath was absorbing her escaping mental power.

But at that time, Song Tiantian was immersed in guiding the lightning force of the lightning-struck wood, so she didn't pay much attention.

But it’s different now.

The moment Song Tiantian picked up the Huanglong jade from the sink, she knew that the thing that absorbed her spiritual power was a jade similar to this one.

Relying on the range where the mental power dissipated and disappeared, Song Tiantian was able to immediately determine the approximate location of the Huanglong Jade Mine.

Because of this, Song Tiantian is quite confident that she can find the Huanglong jade mine.

Lu Chuanbei didn't have much confidence, but in the current situation, it didn't matter to him where he dug, because he couldn't dig anyway...

etc!

When Lu Chuanbei's shovel was digging in, it seemed to hit something. The touch was different from the tree trunk. The texture was very hard. And when he was shoveling in, he seemed to hear the sound of the touchstone.

This made Lu Chuanbei a little dazed for a moment.

"Xiao Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh." Lu Chuanbei quickly came to his senses and said, "It's okay, I just seem to have hit a rock."

"Do you need my help?" Fang Xiuzhu walked towards him with a shovel.

"Yes!" Lu Chuanbei pulled out the shovel with force: "We have to dig up this whole piece."

"OK."

In this way, Fang Xiuzhu and Lu Chuanbei began to dig the soil covered by stems and roots.

Seeing this, He Xuebin and Xu Qi also came over to help.

Then as they dug, they realized something was wrong.

He Xuebin stepped on the shovel and pushed hard, but the mud didn't move. "The rocks in here seem a bit big."

"I guess we have to clear out everything on this side before we can dig it out." Fang Xiuzhu said as he dug out and shoveled away the hard-to-clean dirt and tree roots on the side.

[It's boring... I can't bear to watch any more.]

[I came back from a meeting and they're still digging. Are they going to be mining here for the next few days?]

[It's hard to say. After all, it was the production team who first mentioned the mine. They can't just go there to play and let the villagers dig here, right?]

"That's true, but if you keep digging until you find nothing, wouldn't that be... Wait, is there something reflecting light in that pile of mud you just dug out?"

[Where is it? Why don’t I see any reflections? ]

[Could it be some broken glass from somewhere?]

[No, no, it's in that pile of mud that Lu Chuanbei and the others dug out. Look, it's still yellow!]

[Yellow? I have a terrible idea...]

They can't possibly dig up Huanglong Jade... Ouch, I saw it. And look at where Lu Chuanbei and the others are digging. That whole area is filled with oily yellow stones. Phew, that's Huanglong Jade!

[I see it, oh my god, that little piece they shoveled out is all yellow. Did they really find a mineral?]

[No way, didn't those jade merchants say that Huanglong jade couldn't be produced here?]

[Who cares what they say now? The facts are right in front of us. How can anything be impossible?]

[That's right, with such a clear color, it's definitely top-grade Huanglong jade!]
