Chen Feng has now happily transformed into a monkey, his mouth uttering monkey cries.
He pulled over his backpack; it was time for a celebratory cigarette!
Hehehehehehe~
Chen Feng lit a cigarette, laughing as he smoked. The cigarette didn't even go into his mouth; it all floated out because he couldn't close his mouth at all.
"Awesome, so awesome, it's huge!"
Chen Feng looked at the gold nugget and couldn't help but speak up.
The gold nugget was too big to fit in a bottle; it could only be placed in a bag.
He leaned against the bushes, took a comfortable drag of his cigarette, and felt refreshed.
No wonder girls used to say that a handbag could cure all ills; now he understands the meaning of that saying.
Indeed, gold can cure all diseases!
After playing with the gold in his hands for a while, Chen Feng chuckled and reluctantly put it into his bag.
Including previous earnings, I've almost reached 50,000 today.
That was awesome!
Chen Feng stood up, carrying the detector, and felt much lighter as he walked.
He'll browse around a bit more, then head back at five o'clock. He doesn't care whether he finds anything else; he's got enough for today!
At five o'clock, Chen Feng calculated his income for the day, which was about 49,000 yuan, just a few hundred yuan short of 50,000 yuan.
Of course, these are all Chen Feng's estimates. When it is actually sold, the price may be more or less than this.
After returning to the camp, Chen Feng got into the car first to change his clothes.
Even a light drizzle will soak you through after a day.
Huang Fei lay on the small bed with his legs crossed, admiring the rain scene outside.
"What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes as soon as you get back?" Huang Fei asked warily.
"I've been cooped up all day, and it's not easy to see you, so I have to relax a bit, right?" Chen Feng grinned, shirtless, and took off his pants.
"Damn it..."
Huang Fei covered his head with a pillow, trying to avoid seeing it.
Chen Feng took off his clothes, dried himself off with a towel, and then changed into a clean set of clothes.
Chen Feng sat next to the Wuling van, looking at his canned goods and food. He had to celebrate properly today. He ordered a can of braised beef and only ate the beef!
After Huang Fei felt that he was almost done, he moved the pillow away and looked up to see Chen Feng's back as he sat by the car.
"well…"
For some reason, Huang Fei suddenly sighed, as if he were a little disappointed that Chen Feng hadn't done anything to him.
After sighing, even Huang Fei himself was dumbfounded. Why was he sighing for no reason?
It rained all day, and apart from Chen Feng, no one could cook. Fortunately, they had eaten well yesterday, so they could manage for another day.
Everyone went back to the car to eat cold food, while Chen Feng cooked rice in the car.
Huang Fei limped back to the van. Actually, after two days of rest, he felt much better. If he came back for another day, his foot would be fine and he could walk normally without exerting himself.
Why does Huang Fei, who can walk a little, still limp? It can only be said that he seems to have gotten used to life with a limp.
I'm still not used to walking all of a sudden.
Chen Feng leaned against the small bed, waiting for the food to be heated up.
Once it was heated up, Chen Feng picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
That's what they said, they would only eat beef and no vegetables this time, but when it came time to actually eat, Chen Feng ate both the meat and vegetables, leaving half of it uneaten, which he would reheat the next morning.
After finishing his meal, Chen Feng braved the rain and took the windproof stove to the van.
Today's time for drinking tea, smoking, and bragging has begun.
"Hurry, hurry, I've been waiting for you for ages." Yin Xing eagerly took the windproof stove, put the small pot on it, and started boiling water.
They were eating fast food, and they finished before Chen Feng could even eat. They were just waiting for Chen Feng to come over with the windproof stove and have some tea.
Sitting down, Chen Feng ran his fingers through his hair and asked, "How many days have we been here?"
"Six days? Actually, it should be six and a half days." Zheng Ping's eyes rolled upwards subconsciously as he pondered.
"That's about right, let's leave it at that." Yin Xing said after making a rough estimate.
"So, when are you going back?" Chen Feng asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, waiting for someone else to speak.
"If the weather is good tomorrow, we'll come for another day. If not, we'll stay another day. We need to stay for at least seven days before we decide," Zheng Ping said.
Because it rained for a day in between, they only spent half a day cleaning. If the weather is good tomorrow, they will have cleaned for a total of six and a half days, or roughly seven days.
Although staying one more day meant earning one more day's money, when the time really came, they all felt a bit like going home.
The journey to Taoyuan takes seven days, but considering the distance to both ends, it will take them ten days.
"Okay, let's check the weather tomorrow. By the way, let's go to the hilly city this time."
"Didn't that fellow villager say that it's full of shops catering to gold miners, and all sorts of gold mining equipment? We should at least go and check it out," Chen Feng suggested.
"Yes, no matter what, we have to go in and take a look this time. Otherwise, we've been to Qiuling City twice and haven't even been inside the city. People will laugh at us if they find out."
"Moreover, that fellow villager said that Qiuling City is amazing, much better than our small, run-down county town. It's practically the dream place for gold prospectors."
Yin Xing got excited when he heard this and quickly agreed. He also wanted to see what Qiuling City was like.
"Alright, since everyone wants to go, let's go and see what Qiuling City is really like."
"Dafei, calculate the gas cost for the detour we take, and we'll split it. After all, it's over a hundred kilometers from here to Qiuling City, not close at all." Zheng Ping nodded in agreement and spoke to Huang Fei at the same time.
"It's nothing," Huang Fei said with a smile, puffing on his cigarette.
Even if they don't give him money this time, he still wants to go to Qiuling City. Who wouldn't want to have fun? If it weren't for the fact that they didn't want to go last time because they were worried about the money, they would have gone too soon to go home.
If it were up to Huang Fei's personality, he would have gone to Qiuling City last time.
Is it really acceptable for someone to come all this way without seeing the sights?
"Okay, then it's settled." Chen Feng said with a smile, picking up his cup and adding a few tea leaves.
Everyone poured tea into their cups, filling the van with its fragrant aroma.
A group of men were chatting and joking around, creating a relaxed atmosphere that made you want to join in.
Around 10 p.m., the fireside chat ended, and Chen Feng returned to his Wuling van.
Huang Fei didn't sleep in Chen Feng's small bed again today, but returned to the driver's seat in the van.
Two days is more than enough. Huang Fei was very grateful to Chen Feng, after all, Chen Feng was very tired from panning for gold every day.
As for himself, he was a free man, so it didn't matter whether he slept comfortably or not; he could even catch up on sleep in Chen Feng's car the next morning.
He might joke around normally, but Huang Fei would remember these things.
(Tomorrow we'll head straight to Hilly City, and skip the last day altogether—pretty fast, right?)
