After finalizing the plan, everyone went home, and Chen Feng also drove back to his own home.
After entering the house, he told Liu Ping about the plan, and Liu Ping nodded.
"Okay, you're driving yourself this time, so be careful and don't drive too fast, like you're racing," Liu Ping advised. After all, it was Chen Feng's first time driving on a long trip, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried.
"Don't worry, I'm lucky if I die. I'll be as steady as a rock." Chen Feng chuckled.
"That's fine then, this is no joke," Liu Ping said, rambling on.
"Oh, right, Mom, I bought you so much fruit, pork, and vegetables."
"Don't forget to eat. Don't just make do while I'm not home. Cook some dishes when you have time. Those vegetables will dry out if you leave them out all the time. It's a waste of money to buy them," Chen Feng said to Liu Ping, pointing to the two large plastic bags on the ground.
"I know, why did you buy so much? Some of the fruit is quite expensive. Why don't you take some with you in the car?" Liu Ping said with some concern.
"Why bring it? I won't eat it in the car. You can keep it at home and eat it slowly." Chen Feng shook his head.
Another leisurely day passed, and everyone knew that they would soon be like donkeys, harnessed and forced to work.
Everyone went to bed exceptionally early this night. Chen Feng even went to bed around 5 a.m. and tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling asleep.
At 2:30 a.m., Liu Ping woke Chen Feng up and told him to get up and prepare, as she had already cooked dinner.
Chen Feng groggily got up and looked at the dark sky outside the window.
Damn it, when will I be able to find a huge piece of gold weighing several hundred kilograms? Then I can sleep in until I naturally wake up every day.
After washing his face and refreshing himself, Chen Feng sat down at the dining table to eat.
Around 2:50, Huang Fei's van stopped in front of Chen Feng's house. Chen Feng was ready, went out to say hello, got in the van, and set off.
"Drive carefully," Liu Ping said to Chen Feng in the yard.
"Okay, Mom, don't forget to eat those things." Chen Feng waved his hand and followed behind Huang Fei's van, driving forward slowly.
Since there were hardly any cars on the road, Chen Feng and Huang Fei could chat on WeChat from time to time, which helped the two drivers relieve their boredom.
The sky outside the car window was just beginning to brighten. Chen Feng looked at the rising sun; it seemed to be the first time he had ever seen a sunrise.
It's quite beautiful. If Chen Feng hadn't gone out to pan for gold, but instead gone out for a trip, he would have thought it was even more beautiful.
After nearly twelve hours of driving, Chen Feng truly felt that you don't know what you're missing until you drive.
He realized that driving long distances was so tiring; his buttocks were starting to hurt from sitting so long.
If Huang Fei hadn't been driving, he definitely would have gotten off to stretch his muscles.
"This kid is a natural-born driver. He can drive during the day and all night without complaining. He's really amazing." Chen Feng admired Huang Fei.
Don't let his seemingly unreliable nature fool you; he's a real pro at driving.
Chen Feng persisted all the way to Qiuling City, and only when the car drove into that familiar abandoned mine did he finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
"My God."
Chen Feng stretched his shoulders vigorously in the driver's seat.
They chose a decent spot, parked the car, and everyone got out, stretching as if by unspoken agreement.
"Are you still panning for gold at four o'clock?" Zheng Ping asked, glancing at his phone.
"Anyway, I'm not going to shop online anymore," Chen Feng quickly replied upon hearing this.
All he wants now is to have a good meal, get some sleep, and talk about it tomorrow.
"Actually, we can't shop for very long. It's getting dark already. Why don't we just have a meal and rest?"
Everyone looked at each other and then spoke up.
This time there wasn't the same sense of urgency as last time, because there was no seven-day return period. They would return whenever the supplies ran out, so there was no need for them to work so hard, dragging their fatigue from a day's journey to pan for gold.
Now that this decision has been made, everyone feels much more relaxed. They sit together, smoke, and rest, preparing to chop wood and cook a meal later.
Chen Feng smoked a cigarette with them, then felt a slight bloating in his abdomen, so he went back to his car to get some tissues and prepared to use the restroom.
Although we're all men and there's nothing embarrassing about it, it's still a bit inappropriate for them to see it; these kinds of things are quite private.
Fortunately, there are many bushes here, so you can't see them if you walk a little further away.
His stomach pain worsened as he walked. He had just found a good spot and was about to squat down to relieve the pain when he suddenly froze.
Because the system actually gave a notification that there was stock available!
"My hair!"
After receiving the prompt, Chen Feng forced himself to swallow it back, clutching his buttocks with a pained expression.
Who understands that feeling of being forced to hold it back!
There's stock here, so we can't go up there; otherwise, how would we explore later?
Chen Feng could only endure the pain and walk a little further away. Before leaving the area, he didn't forget to find a tree branch and stick it in the ground as a marker, so that he wouldn't have trouble finding the location later.
As he stepped out of the designated area, the system notification disappeared, and Chen Feng was finally able to use the restroom without any problems.
"Oh~"
This was also the first time Chen Feng wasn't so keen on having goods here. If the place he had chosen still had goods, he would have to find another place.
I don't know how big the goods are, but if we change locations a few more times, Chen Feng will soon be soiling his pants.
About ten minutes later, Chen Feng comfortably pulled up his pants and returned to the place where the goods had been.
Chen Feng kicked the object around a bit, hoping to find the goods directly, so he wouldn't have to go back to get the detector.
He poked at the ground with a twig for a while, but after a while, Chen Feng could only shake his head.
This method seems impractical; I'll have to go back and retrieve the detector.
After they got back, they had all finished their cigarettes, and a few of them were rummaging through the car, probably looking for something to cook.
"Well, I'm going to chop some firewood. You guys set up the enclosure," Chen Feng said, grabbing an axe from the car and carrying the detector.
"Fengzi, why are you using the detector while you're chopping wood?" Zheng Ping asked, completely bewildered.
"Hey, since we've already cut the price, let's see if we have any stock, haha." Chen Feng took a small shovel out of his bag, smiled, and carried the things away.
Huang Fei was completely dumbfounded.
"No, when did Fengzi become so determined? He just said he wouldn't bother anymore, but he's changed his mind so quickly. He even has to try his luck when chopping wood?"
Zheng Ping shrugged, equally puzzled.
It's only been a short time chopping wood, surely that's not enough? How much could you possibly find?
Even someone as meticulous as him felt it was unnecessary; there was plenty of time to do it tomorrow.
Although they didn't understand, they figured if he wanted to go ahead and do it, Zheng Ping and the others started setting up a fire and preparing to start a fire. Someone took out a pot and prepared to cook something.
Carrying the detector, Chen Feng quickly arrived at the spot where the stick was inserted.
This time he really went light; he didn't even carry a bag, just a detector, an axe, and a small shovel.
