After He Xuebin cheated him out of all the money he earned from selling jade seeds and only left him a few pocket money, He Jingnian used his grief and anger as motivation and continued searching along the river.
He planned to find a piece of jade seed material, keep all the money from selling it for himself, and resolutely not give He Xuebin a second chance to cheat him.
Unfortunately, there are more and more people on the river now, and the people here are all experienced jade pickers. How can they be compared with He Jingnian and other young people who have just learned how to find jade seeds.
As a result, the jade seed materials, which were not very abundant to begin with, are becoming less and less available due to everyone’s sharp searches.
What He Jingnian found later were basically some white water stones. Although the color was somewhat similar to jade, the rough asbestos and granular texture were incomparable to the reddish-skinned jade seed material he found at the beginning.
Seeing this, He Jingnian was extremely disappointed.
At this time, some children saw that the water flow was slowing down and the river surface was becoming calm, so they began to stand in the river with their trouser legs rolled up and turn over the stones under the river.
There was a little boy who looked about the same age as He Jingnian. He stood in the river and rummaged around for a while before finding a piece of jade seed material that was half the size of a fist.
Look, the little boy cheered and raised the material in his hand, and shouted to his father and others who were picking up the material in front.
Although Song Tiantian and others didn't understand what he was saying, looking at his happy face and the expressions of his parents after hearing the cheers, they could guess that the little boy must have gained a lot.
The audience in the live broadcast room were even more envious.
[I'm so envious. It's so easy to make money here!]
[Such a large piece of jade seed material, and looking at their surprised expressions, it must be worth a lot, right?]
[Just by looking at the material he just held up, one can already feel its clear and delicate texture. Jade seed material like this would definitely cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.]
[What? Hundreds of thousands? I couldn't make that much in over a decade of work, and this piece of jade seed is enough for it?]
[Hiss~ Is it worth that much? No wonder his parents are so happy...]
"It's me. I'm happy too. Hundreds of thousands! How many people save their entire lives and still don't have that much?"
[No wonder people keep talking about going to Xinjiang to dig for jade seed material recently. The profit alone is worth it!]
[That's right. If you pick up a valuable piece, it's worth more than what you could earn working hard in a factory your entire life!]
[No, I'm going to Xinjiang now. Tiantian, you guys have to wait for me!]
Just when the audience was excited and really prepared to go to Xinjiang to pick up jade seeds to make a fortune, an accident occurred.
The little boy who had picked up the jade seed in the river was about to run towards his parents with a happy face when he accidentally tripped.
Although the river was not very turbulent at this moment, the water was still flowing downstream continuously. In addition, the stones in the river had long been polished by the river water and sand, and were very slippery.
In addition, the little boy was not very old, and after being tripped, he immediately panicked. The more he struggled, the more unstable his feet became.
All of a sudden, the river water swept the little boy downstream. Fortunately, Lu Chuanbei, who was not far away, saw the situation and rushed forward to grab the boy's clothes, preventing him from being swept downstream in an instant.
It is very dangerous to be washed downstream at this time, and there are many stones in the river. No one can guarantee that he will not hit the stones at the bottom of the river when being washed down by the river.
"Okay, okay, you're safe." As soon as Lu Chuanbei got ashore with the frightened little boy, his parents ran up to him and kept thanking him.
A man who looked like the boy's father took the child in his arms with red eyes and slapped him on the buttocks a few times. His anxious and frightened look showed that he was terrified.
A group of mothers of the children kept thanking Lu Chuanbei.
At this time, no one asked the child what happened to the jade seed material he had just found.
After seeing this, the audience who had originally planned to go to Xinjiang to pick up jade seeds fell silent.
[It was really dangerous... It was just that close...]
[Yeah, I just thought picking up jade seed material seemed easy, I can do it.]
[Forget it, I'd better just go back to work. I don't think I can do something like picking up jade seed material.]
[That's right. A careless person like me wouldn't even know there were jade seeds in that river, and I'd jump in. Who knows what ditch I might end up in.]
I looked up some data on jade hunting, and according to incomplete statistics, hundreds of people are swept away by rivers while hunting jade in Xinjiang each year, and tens of thousands are injured.
What the above person said is correct. In fact, the riverbeds in Hotan where you can find top-quality jade are actually becoming increasingly scarce. Most of the truly good jade has been contracted out to mining areas. So, don't be fooled by the fact that Tiantian and her friends seem to have found a lot of jade in the Mojin River right now. Actually, there's a mining area upstream of their river. The jade seeds washed down by snow and flood water have already been intercepted there, so only a small amount of jade is washed down.
[Thanks for the scientific explanation above. Now I understand why they were so surprised when they heard about the jade material worth hundreds of thousands of yuan just now...]
I've already canceled my flight to Xinjiang. The risk and the chance of finding jade aren't enough for me to take the risk.
I've been wondering why I've heard less and less about people finding jade seed material worth tens of millions these past few years. It turns out all that material has been bought up by the mining areas.
[Seeing this, I think Tiantian is even more amazing. She was able to find a jade seed worth tens of millions that was missed by others in such an environment. This kind of luck is simply amazing.]
I quietly withdrew my resignation email. I'll stick with my 996 schedule. I'll leave the jade seed material collection to Tiantian.
Lu Chuanbei handed the child over to his parents and reminded them to take the child to see the place where he fell and was scratched.
The boy's parents nodded and thanked him hurriedly, then hurried back to the shore with their child.
Seeing this, He Jingnian didn't dare to go into the river anymore: "I'd better just pick it up on the shore."
Hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but look at him: "So, you wanted to go into the river just now?"
He Jingnian touched his nose with a guilty conscience: "Well, I saw that they picked up a lot of jade seeds in the river."
"I understand." Xiangfangnan turned his head calmly.
Instead, He Jingnian looked at him with some discomfort: "Aren't you going to persuade me?"
"No need to persuade." Xiangfangnan glanced at him and said, "I guess you wouldn't dare to go down now."
He Jingnian was about to refute, but when he thought of the boy's experience just now, He Jingnian silently turned his head and changed the subject: "Well, I don't think I have seen it over there just now. I'll go over there and take a look."
Having said that, he left in a hurry.
After picking up the trash for a while, Lu Chuanbei and the others called Song Tiantian and the others who were not far away, and they went back home together.
On the way back, they sold all the jade seeds they picked up in the morning to the buyers who were collecting materials by the river.
The jade seeds collected by all the people together were sold for more than 70,000 yuan. Although it was not as much as those people in the village, they still made so much money in just one morning, which was not bad.
After returning home, Xu Qi made a simple bowl of cold noodles, which made the people who were sweating in the sun feel much better immediately.
After eating cold noodles and a few bites of chilled watermelon, they took a short rest and then prepared to drive to town to buy some furniture for their home.
A car can seat a maximum of five people, so after discussion, Fang Xiuzhu and Lu Chuanbei stayed and built a kitchen at home.
Xu Qi took He Jingnian and Xu Anjia to the town to do some shopping and brought back some vegetables.
When He Jingnian got in the car, he couldn't help but look at Song Tiantian and Xiang Nan: "Tiantian Nannan, are you really not going to town?"
"No, I want to stay at home and make medicine." Song Tiantian, who had already wasted the whole morning, was planning to use the afternoon to experiment with the knowledge she had learned in the system last night.
"I'll help Tiantian watch the fire."
Hearing this, He Jingnian hurried to the driveway: "Then I won't bother you anymore, but don't worry, I will bring you some delicious food when I come back from town."
"OK."
After He Jingnian and others left, Fang Xiuzhu and Lu Chuanbei began to measure and mark the edges of the new house, and they were busy all the time.
Song Tiantian came to the room, opened the remaining herbs and took a look, then started to pick up the medicine...
While Song Tiantian was busy preparing the new medicine, the effect of the Wuhei Pills had already spread among the study abroad circle.
The cause was that a parent of an international student, after video chatting with his child who was working abroad during the summer vacation, saw that his child's hair, which was not very thick to begin with, had receded to three or four centimeters in just a few months after going abroad. He immediately asked someone to buy three or four cans of Wuhei Pills from China and sent them out.
At first, when Liu Yang received the Wuhei Pills sent by his family, he didn't take it seriously. After all, his hair loss was hereditary, and his father and uncle both had very smart hairstyles.
He struggled for a while at first and still couldn't accept it, but when people discovered his hair loss and asked him to find a job, many people thought he had a stable character and seemed to be very qualified, so they all trusted him very much.
This allowed him to get a lot of advantages when looking for a job and working as a tutor. Because of this, Liu Yang simply put these five black pills in the bottom of the box.
But at this moment, Liu Yang received a video from home. It was his father, the headmaster, who, in his memory, had been losing his hair into a Mediterranean pattern since he was in middle school...
