He packed his things and ran to the next pit, eager to show off to Chen Feng.
But after running a few steps, he saw that Chen Feng had already dug the next pit and was already walking away to find the next one.
But it doesn't matter. Lin Nian calculated that his speed of finding goods is much faster than Chen Feng's. He estimated that after getting past one more pit, he would be able to catch up with Chen Feng.
With this in mind, Lin Nian quickly arrived at the edge of the dug pit, but when he saw the area of the soil spread out, Lin Nian's eyes widened in surprise.
What was just a small pit has become so much bigger in the next one, maybe three or four times the size of the previous one.
"Holy crap, this is huge!"
Lin Nian stood on the edge of the room, looking at Chen Feng who had already gone far away, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It seems we won't be able to catch up with Chen Feng anytime soon, but that's okay, not every pit will be this big.
If he speeds up his pace a bit, he'll be able to catch up with Chen Feng soon and show off to him.
Lin Nian, carrying the detector, began his search for goods with great confidence. Little did he know that he was about to embark on a massive project.
Half an hour later, Lin Nian, having rushed to catch up with Chen Feng, was panting heavily and covered in sweat.
Of course, the haul was quite bountiful. He estimated that he had found at least twenty pieces of goods, a third of which were gold.
Moreover, the largest piece of it cost him as much as five thousand yuan.
Carrying his bountiful harvest, Lin Nian continued to explore downwards. With only one-fifth of the area remaining, he knew that if he put in a little more effort, he could catch up with his brother.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng, on the other side, felt a sense of urgency as he looked at Lin Nian closely following behind him.
As he had anticipated, Lin Nian's speed in finding goods was definitely slower than his speed in digging the pit.
After all, she was a machine, while he was just a human being.
He planned to dig four or five holes at once, then help Lin Nian clean them up, and when only one or two holes remained, he would continue digging.
In this way, the efficiency of the two people working together can be maximized.
But now it seems that I can't keep up with Lin Nian's speed in finding goods.
That won't do; I can't hold Lin Nian back.
And so, Chen Feng's speed in finding and digging pits increased once again; the guy was practically walking on air.
He dug three holes in a row, and when he turned around again, he found that Lin Nian was still cleaning up the first big hole he had dug. He breathed a sigh of relief and lit a cigarette in the car.
As long as I don't hold Lin back after the New Year, that's fine.
"Ooh-woo~"
As soon as the sound rang out, Lin Nian squatted down, took out his small shovel, and continued digging the hole. The shovel moved incredibly fast.
He quickly found the item; it was a silver nugget, worth about 150 or 160 yuan.
Lin Nian tossed the silver nuggets into his bag, picked up the detector, and continued walking forward. He quickly explored the remaining area.
Lin Nian had to admit that this place was like a treasure trove; he had never seen a place with such a high success rate.
Nearly thirty yuan worth of goods were sold in one place at once; who would believe that?
Lin Nian carried those dozens of yuan worth of goods on his back. Although he was very tired, he couldn't stop smiling happily.
Considering my speed, I'm probably quite fast.
I'll catch up with Brother Feng in a minute, and I can even imagine his expression.
He looked at himself with obvious surprise, then exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow, Lin Nian, how did you find it so quickly?"
Thinking of this, Lin Nian couldn't help but laugh. He packed up his tools and was about to go after Chen Feng.
But when Lin Nian looked up and saw the three large pits that had already been dug in front of him, he fell silent, and his smile gradually shifted elsewhere.
Lin Nian: "..."
Sure enough, I was still too slow; I was still holding Brother Feng back.
Lin Nian shook his head, holding the detector. He thought he was fast enough, but he didn't expect that Brother Feng was much faster than him.
Looking at the three large pits in front of him, Lin Nian instinctively wanted to quicken his pace and try to catch up with Chen Feng's progress. However, when he looked back at the large pit that Chen Feng had dug, he pondered for a moment.
I just dug up this spread-out soil and I was able to get nearly thirty pieces of goods. Doesn't that prove that there might be other goods in the pit?
Lin Nian hadn't forgotten that he had found a gold nugget worth nearly five thousand yuan here.
What if there's still one left in the pit, and I just leave like this? Wouldn't that be a huge regret? My excavator costs thousands a day to rent.
Moreover, it wouldn't take long to cross the pit with the detector, so Lin Nian was reluctant to leave directly.
The deeper the cargo is, the bigger it becomes.
Although the pit was a bit dangerous, given its depth, Lin Nian felt it was alright; as long as he could find some goods, it was all a minor issue.
Lin Nian sat on the edge of the pit, chose his spot, and jumped in.
A depth of more than two meters is nothing to him, who often climbs trees and walls.
Carrying a detector, Lin Nian wandered through the pit, searching for the large gold he had imagined.
Unfortunately, after probing back and forth for a long time, the detector didn't even seem to be working. Seeing that there was nothing in the pit, Lin Nian couldn't help but sigh.
"Why."
Lin Nian found nothing in the pit and had no choice but to climb out and go to the next pit that had been dug.
But as soon as he jumped up, Lin Nian immediately felt something was wrong.
The soil on the bank is impossible to hold onto; it just crumbles as soon as you try to pull it up.
He tried to run up the slope from the edge of the pit, but because the slope was too steep and the soil was too loose, he slipped and fell down before he got halfway up.
Lin Nian stared blankly at his surroundings, involuntarily muttering, "I knocked...it's over..."
Lin Nian tried various methods, but found that he couldn't climb out. Lin Nian panicked completely. He squatted against the earthen wall and called Chen Feng with some self-blame.
"Hey, what's up?" Chen Feng had just gotten out of the car and was about to look for the next toilet when he received a call from Lin Nian.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I've fallen into a pit and can't get out..." Lin Nian said weakly.
"ah?"
Chen Feng was stunned when he heard this. His first thought was that Lin Nian had lost her balance and fallen down.
"Are you still in the first pit? I'm going over there now. Are you alright?" Chen Feng quickly ran back.
"It's nothing, it's just in that big pit." Lin Nian shook his head.
"Okay, okay, wait for me, I'm coming right now."
Chen Feng hung up the phone and continued running, afraid that Lin Nian might have really hurt himself, as the nearest hospital was still more than four hours away.
Lin Nian hung up the phone, lowered his head, and hugged his knees, feeling too ashamed to face Chen Feng.
He just wanted to see if there was any gold left in the pit, but his good intentions backfired; he didn't find any gold and now he can't get out.
