After Huang Fei and Li Chunlai jumped down again, they used a jackhammer to poke around and found that the bottom was leaking.
"Oh my god, it's finally working!" Huang Fei said with a sigh of relief.
"If it doesn't go through now, it'll be through soon. I feel like my kidney stones are about to be shaken out." Li Chunlai drilled a few times, handed the impact drill to Lin Nian above him, and took the pickaxe to start digging into the rock.
The two of them turned over all the stones, revealing normal yellow soil underneath.
"Fengzi, let's get Uncle ready to dig again. We just need to shovel all these rocks out," Huang Fei called out, looking up.
"Okay." Chen Feng stepped out of the pit and waved to Chen Jianguo. He thought Chen Jianguo would nod, but to his surprise, he shook his head.
This completely baffled Chen Feng. What did this mean? Why did he get emotional?
"What's wrong?" Chen Feng climbed onto the excavator and asked him to roll down the window.
“I can’t scoop it up anymore, the bucket can’t go down. Either I’ll keep expanding it, and I’ll expand it quite a bit, or you’ll have to figure out how to throw it out yourselves.”
"Is it still rock underneath?" Chen Jianguo asked, somewhat puzzled.
"They've already dug through the first layer; now they just want you to dig a little more out and that'll be it."
"If we need to continue expanding, I'll figure out a way myself," Chen Feng said after a moment's thought.
Instead of letting my father continue to expand slowly, it would be much more efficient to find a way to haul away the soil and rocks ourselves.
Chen Feng braved the strong wind to get into the car, drove back, and went into the prefab house to start searching around.
Before long, he brought over several large iron buckets and ropes.
If all else fails, we'll have to resort to this clumsy method: use a rope to lift the bucket and pull it up.
After throwing his things into the trunk, Chen Feng got in the car and drove back. The car was so warm inside that he didn't want to get out.
Upon arriving at the location, Chen Feng grabbed his tools, jumped into the pit, and handed them the bucket.
"What does this mean?" Huang Fei was bewildered as he took the bucket.
“The excavator bucket has reached its limit. You guys keep chiseling those big rocks and put them all into the bucket. Lin Nian and I will catch them from above and help you empty them,” Chen Feng replied.
"Okay, sure."
As Huang Fei spoke, he picked up the impact drill again and bent down to chisel the larger pieces into smaller ones, otherwise they wouldn't fit at all.
The two men swung their shovels, and the bucket was quickly filled. Chen Feng pulled on the rope, and he and Lin Nian dragged the bucket up.
You don't need to dump it too far; just dump it a few steps away.
After pouring out four or five buckets, Chen Feng felt that was enough.
"Alright, get the detector up!"
Chen Feng said this and then jumped down.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions brightened. They had been digging here for so long, waiting for this very moment.
"Quick, quick, give me the detector." Huang Fei reached out and took the detector from Lin Nian, and began to draw back and forth.
"Ooh-woo~"
The sound of the detector, mixed with the sound of the wind, was like heavenly music to them.
"That's it, come on, let's start." Huang Fei drew a circle with his foot, then squatted down and pulled out a shovel with his backhand.
The three of them squatted down and began shoveling and shoveling soil. Chen Feng leaned against the pit wall and watched them work.
It wasn't that Chen Feng was being lazy, but the space was so small that if the three of them squatted down head to head, there was simply no room for him.
Lin Nian scooped up a shovelful of soil, ran it over the detector, found nothing, and then casually tossed it aside.
"Oh my god, you've splashed it all over my shoes, brother," Li Chunlai said, wiping his shoes with his hand.
"Awkward, haha~" Lin Nian scratched his head and laughed, then continued to shovel dirt under his head.
"Hey, take it easy, you've got all this stuff in my pocket." Huang Fei looked at Li Chunlai with disgust, then turned around and emptied his coat pocket, revealing a lot of dirt that Li Chunlai had just thrown in.
"It was too high, it wasn't intentional. Besides, who told you not to zip it up?" Li Chunlai chuckled.
"What the hell..." Huang Fei pursed his lips upon hearing this, not wanting to talk to him.
He never zips up the side pockets of his coats unless he has something inside that he's worried will fall out. He's been doing this since he was six, so he can't blame himself for it.
Huang Feiyang took a shovelful of soil, and then he saw something in the soil. He subconsciously tapped it with the shovel and listened to the sound.
"Hmm, this sound... it doesn't seem like a stone." Huang Fei said, reaching out and pulling the object out.
As soon as the object was pulled out, most of the soil on it fell off, revealing its original dark yellow color.
When the object revealed its dark yellow color, all three people froze, staring at the piece of gold, their eyes widening in unison.
"Holy crap, holy crap!" Huang Fei threw down the shovel and started rubbing the gold in disbelief.
"What's going on? Is this really gold? It's such a big piece!" Li Chunlai reached out and poked it, his eyes wide with shock.
"This is definitely it, no doubt about it, haha!" Lin Nian vigorously rubbed it with his hand. With this color and texture, what else could it be?
"Damn, we're rich again! This piece of gold is amazing, it seems bigger than the previous two!" Huang Fei was extremely excited, holding the gold up to the sun.
"This is amazing! The weight of it is incredible!" Li Chunlai said, taking it and weighing it in his hand with a look of amazement.
"Quickly weigh it and see how heavy it is!" Lin Nian casually pulled a small brush out of his pocket and started brushing vigorously, removing all the mud from the surface.
"Hey, I came prepared. I have the scale with me, so I don't have to go out and get it." Li Chunlai chuckled and took the electronic scale out of his pocket.
Upon seeing this, Chen Feng's eyes widened in astonishment.
He never expected that Li Chunlai would become so ruthless, to the point that he had to carry an electronic scale with him at all times.
He said that something had been dangling in Li Chunlai's pocket, and after a while, it turned out to be this thing.
Li Chunlai placed the scale flat on the stone and put the gold on it.
When that number appeared before everyone, they all gasped in amazement.
"Wow, this is much more than those two pieces yesterday."
"How much is this worth? They'll make a killing!"
"This is amazing! This is the only thing that's really satisfying. Just looking at it makes me feel great."
Li Chunlai looked at the numbers, took out his phone, and started calculating.
"Subtract the loss and multiply by 400, that equals... Holy crap! More than 320,000?" Li Chunlai said, grinning from ear to ear as he looked at everyone in astonishment.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand, holy crap, this one piece is worth two pieces from yesterday! How long has it been, and I've already made over three hundred thousand?" Huang Fei chuckled as he held the gold.
"This stuff makes money so fast! Even if you rob a bank, you'd have to carry that 300,000 for a while. This gold is so easy to pocket and you can just walk away. It's so satisfying!" Lin Nian said with a satisfied expression.
