Chapter 73 Digging in such a big pit! Yan Jiuru picked up...
Chapter 72: Digging in such a big pit!
Before my eyes, a magical scene happened: I saw Lin Shiyi spinning in circles in the pit. At first, it was like he was walking the Bagua steps, and then he spun faster and faster, and finally, the whole person was just a shadow like an electric drill.
Soon, the shadow burrowed into the pit, leaving behind only a hole the size of a millstone!
With this ability to rob tombs, he is simply the chosen one, right?
Yan Jiuru and Director Wu both looked at the cave entrance intently.
A few minutes later, Lin Shiyi suddenly came up again.
He spit out the dirt in his mouth, shook off the dirt on his body and head, took a deep breath, and then held out his hand and said, "Give me the pickaxe. I almost hit my head on a rock."
Yan Jiuru's lips curled up slightly as she rummaged through the equipment he brought. "Is this it?"
Lin Shiyi noticed it keenly, and he immediately begged, "Brother~ I call you brother, please keep an eye on me.
If there are any stones or something, please remind me.
Otherwise, if I crash into it at this speed, I’ll be crippled or bloodied.”
Tomb robbing is different from this.
He knew everything about the tomb, its specifications, and what was under each layer of earth.
So as not to get yourself broken and bloody.
Mining is very dangerous. There could be anything under the soil, and he values his life.
"OK!"
It's not a big deal, just consumes some spiritual energy.
In fact, he had roughly understood when he saw Lin Shiyi's shadow with his spiritual sense just now. This person should have some ability to "transform reality into illusion" and "transform illusion into reality".
Regardless of whether it was bloodline inheritance or awakened magical powers, in short, he could switch his body between reality and illusion. However, due to insufficient energy, the transformation time was not very long each time.
His shadow is a bit like a pangolin, so his ability to dig holes in the mountains may be an instinct of atavism.
This skill is both powerful and useless, because it requires frequent breathing and energy replenishment. Once these two things are grasped by others, it is easy to defeat him.
Fortunately, he still has a life-saving storage space, no matter how big or small it is, he can always use it, otherwise, hehe...
***
Lin Shiyi shuddered inexplicably and felt a chill on his back.
He quickly cheered up and dug the soil beneath his feet another ten meters.
"Brother, put some food down for me~"
I'm too hungry to work.
Yan Jiuru used a basket to lower a two-pound piece of braised beef and a pot of warm water to him.
After Lin Shiyi had eaten and drunk his fill, he quickly went back to work.
The air gets heavier as the night goes on, so it’s better to finish early and go back to bed.
After going back and forth several times, I finally dug up the mine.
This time, after he climbed up, he winked at Yan Jiuru while carrying Director Wu on his back and said, "I can't do it anymore. I need to rest for a while. So, brother, can you help me go down and expand the hole? That way we can finish it faster, right?"
"Go away, you're so lazy."
Yan Jiuru was cursing, but he was not slow in his actions.
He tied a rope around his waist, wore a mining lamp on his head, and found an imported multi-purpose military shovel from Lin Shiyi's equipment. He slowly went down into the cave.
It was more than seventy meters down.
With his feet on solid ground, Yan Jiuru looked around with the help of his headlamp: the hole was too small, it was difficult to bend over and stick out his butt, and there was not enough air, no wonder he went up to get some fresh air after staying there for a short time.
However, his spiritual sense had already seen the raw ore shining with golden light mixed in with the mixed rocks and soil!
Yan Jiuru picked up the military shovel and started digging.
After working for less than twenty minutes, he was shaking the rope and was about to go up.
Lack of oxygen!
***
"How about it?"
"How about it?"
The first person to ask the question was Director Wu, and the second person to ask the question was Lin Shiyi.
Yan Jiuru shook off the dirt on his head and body, put on his boots, and kicked Lin Shiyi: "What do you say? Get down here quickly!"
He was digging a hole below, but this guy just lay on the ground with his legs crossed after eating.
Whose job is this? Don’t you have any idea?
Lin Shiyi quickly got up, picked up his equipment and went downstairs.
Yan Jiuru then pulled out two ping-pong ball-sized gold nuggets from his pocket and gave them to Director Wu. "It's definitely a gold mine. The deposit may not be very large, but the gold content is definitely amazing."
Director Wu seemed to understand something about the gold content, but he recognized the golden nuggets.
The man opened his mouth and took a bite.
Yan Jiuru didn't even have time to stretch out his hand.
Director Wu covered his teeth and laughed foolishly.
Absolutely gold!
Yan Jiuru watched him eagerly as he put away the two gold nuggets, and thought to himself, fortunately the ones in his cotton-padded jacket are of better quality and bigger.
***
Lin Shiyi poured the samples all over the floor.
In the setting sun, the gold ore shines with brilliant golden light.
Director Wu rubbed his hands excitedly, looked around, and rubbed the gold ore carefully. There were obvious quartzite impurities on the ore, but the golden part was larger and the color was very pure.
The samples have been taken, and how to report it to the higher-ups is no longer the business of these two little Karamis.
Yan Jiuru looked at the setting sun, which had clearly sunk down the mountain but was still clinging to the edge of the mountain, revealing half of its face. He stretched his waist and let out a long howl: "Oh roar——"
Let out a breath of foul air.
This was the first mine he found using his own abilities.
He turned and smiled at Director Wu, Lin Shiyi and the others, "We can all sleep well tonight!"
***
The helicopter flew away.
Yan Jiuru took a quick glance and then looked away.
He had no time to pay attention to anything else. The sun was about to set and he had to set up the tent quickly.
Tents were a luxury and were in very limited supply. Even if they were prospecting for gold, they could only get one tent between two people.
There were only a few tents scattered among the soldiers.
Seeing Lin Shiyi looking over there again and again, Yan Jiuru gave him a light kick and said, "Stop overthinking. Those are the medical staff and medicines."
Of course, there might be other important things, but he certainly wouldn't tell you.
"oh oh."
Life-saving doctors and medicines are always highly respected.
Respecting them means respecting life.
"Let's go. There are too many rocks here. Let's find a more down-to-earth place."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Shiyi had no idea how many gold nuggets were hidden in his storage bag, and he felt guilty when he met Yan Jiuru's gaze.
Yan Jiuru pretended not to see anything and continued doing what he was doing.
They hammered nails into the ground, tied ropes, laid out raincoats, military coats, mattresses, and sheets, then made the bed, put a thick blanket on top, and rolled up unworn clothes to use as pillows.
He has been in the army for a month and has learned a lot.
Lin Shiyi couldn't even imitate the others and was in a panic, but the kitchen staff had already called for dinner.
***
We had dinner from a big pot.
There was two kinds of rice cooked over a firewood fire, potatoes stewed with fresh Artemisia argyi sprouts and a few slices of meat, a small pheasant fried with pickles, a pot of spicy tofu mixed with pickles, and then a large bucket of rice soup.
The soldiers hunted the pheasants in the mountains and picked the wild vegetables themselves, using local ingredients. The soldiers looked so happy while eating this meal that they must have been very satisfied.
Yan Jiuru and his group were divided into two tables.
In fact, there is no table, just find a large flat stone, or clear a flat area, and everyone can squat or sit around a few pots of food and scramble to eat.
The cooking skills of the people in the kitchen are pretty good.
Yan Jiuru felt that the food tasted much better than the big pot meals he used to eat in the brigade canteen.
The two of them consumed a lot during the day, so they were not polite at dinner and ate in bowls.
***
After dinner, Commander Chen came over to inspect their tents.
He lifted the layers of bedding that Yan Jiuru had laid out and took a look. He nodded, then turned to look at Lin Shiyi's bedding, frowning and saying, "Haven't you ever learned how to camp?"
There is nothing for Lin Shiyi to learn. He is not qualified to join the team to learn.
Seeing him looking timid with his head down, Commander Chen turned to look at Yan Jiuru.
Yan Jiuru straightened up, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the commander, he has never been a soldier!"
"He's never been a soldier, but you have been, haven't you? What are the regulations for camping outdoors?!"
Yan Jiuru said without blinking: "Report to the commander, he thinks my feet are too smelly and he refuses to sleep in the same bed with me!
Besides, it’s not too cold now, and we have tents.”
Commander Chen muttered with a stern face, "Can't you just wash your feet properly?"
***
Lin Shiyi stretched his neck and peered out for a long moment. Seeing that the leader had already walked away, he gave Yan Jiuru a thumbs-up and said, "I admire you, brother! You really can lie without stuttering."
It was obvious that he disliked my smelly feet, but he turned black into white and said that I disliked him!
Yan Jiuru sneered, what do you know?
He didn't want to share a bed with a man, let alone hold his stinky feet.
However, you can't say that, otherwise you will get kicked by your leader.
If the masses dislike him, the leader can't force them, right?
***
After it was completely dark, the two of them went to the woods with flashlights to take care of their urgent needs. After returning, they quickly took off their clothes and got into bed using the flashlight.
During dinner, Yan Jiuru filled the kettle with hot water and stuffed it into the quilt early to cover himself, moving it around when nothing happened.
At this time, he came in wearing a shirt and trousers. Fortunately, it was not that cold.
The sweater and trousers were tucked under the blanket, the earmuffs of the hat were pulled down, the hatband was tied, and a towel was used as a mask to loosely cover the mouth and nose.
The pistol was at hand.
Lin Shiyi looked at him sideways and thought, is this guy stupid, or is he really stupid?
In the wilderness, with the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, the coldest time is not in the middle of the night, but in the early morning, at least ten degrees below zero. How could you sleep naked?
He shook his head, without even taking off his shoes, and lay down in the bed with his clothes on.
Humph, as if he didn’t have a kettle, he also hugged the kettle to his chest, shivered and slowly fell asleep.
Yan Jiuru also fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, someone came to patrol with a flashlight.
His eyes seemed half open, it turned out that it was the deputy commander who was inspecting in person!
Well, he should continue to sleep.
In my dream, there is a wife and gold...
***
Early the next morning, Yan Jiuru got up in high spirits.
He kicked Lin Shiyi and said, "Get up!"
Lin Shiyi hummed, buried his head in the quilt and burrowed a few more times, muttering, "It seems that you slept well, so I fell asleep."
"Whether you want to get up or not, you won't have anything to eat soon. Who told you to go to bed with your clothes on?"
As a result, he was frozen to death in the middle of the night, and he couldn't sleep even if he got up. I really wanted to beat him to death!
Yan Jiuru ignored him and went out to run around the hill twice, feeling warm all over.
"Good morning, Chief!"
On the way, we met Division Commander Chen and the Commander, who were both returning from training with their troops. No matter how many soldiers they had or what the conditions were, they insisted on upholding the glorious tradition of training.
***
Breakfast consisted of steamed buns made of two-grain flour, wild vegetable and egg soup, and pickled cabbage dumplings.
Yan Jiuru heard the soldiers in the kitchen say, "These are the pheasant eggs we picked up yesterday. They're not enough for a stir-fry."
No wonder there is egg soup in the morning.
There was nothing to do in the morning, so Yan Jiuru drew the structural diagram of the "Prospect 1" gold mine.
In fact, it is the general range, distribution level, depth, estimated reserves and gold content of the gold deposit.
This mine is a rare shallow mine with a high gold content and is relatively easy to mine.
These are very "thirst-quenching" for countries in urgent need of gold.
He painted carefully for half the morning and heard the sound of a helicopter.
Soon, Director Wu got off the plane with a dozen people and headed straight for the pothole from yesterday.
