He wasn't worried about not being able to get out after digging; a 1.5-meter-deep pit was nothing to worry about.
However, this pit is really hard to dig.
"Damn it, bottoms up!"
Chen Feng angrily threw down his cigarette butt, grabbed a shovel, and said that he had no other merits except that he was obedient and listened to his own orders.
Since I feel I can't miss this opportunity, I might as well do it. At worst, it's just a wasted afternoon, so who's afraid of who?
Once I've finished shopping for this batch of goods, regardless of size, I'll eat.
Chen Feng swung his shovel and began digging, the soil flying everywhere with each shovelful.
However, as Chen Feng swung the shovel at high intensity, his speed quickly slowed down.
The last time he worked this hard was when he was competing with Wang Lei for goods.
With Wang Lei chasing after him, Chen Feng felt a great sense of urgency and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.
There's no one to be seen here now, and it's difficult for Chen Feng to replicate his previous speed.
He didn't know how deep he had dug, but Chen Feng squatted on the ground and couldn't reach it anymore. He put down the shovel, panting heavily, and stretched his sore shoulders.
After resting for a few minutes, Chen Feng picked up the shovel again and widened the pit so that he could squat down inside; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to continue digging.
They widened the pit by about half a meter until Chen Feng could fit inside, then he jumped in with a shovel.
He leaned against the pit wall, panting heavily.
Back when I was panning for gold, wasn't it supposed to be a lucrative job that depended on luck? How come I'm like a laborer now?
He really felt that he needed an excavator more and more.
If it were an excavator, it would have been done in two or three strokes, but Chen Feng would have to dig here for who knows how long.
Chen Feng had previously seen videos online teaching how to operate an excavator.
He clicked on it out of curiosity and found it quite simple; he could learn it after a little practice.
When he gets back today, he'll study how to operate that thing. Next time he encounters something like that, Chen Feng will be able to operate the whole excavator.
After all, you can't just not learn. Renting an excavator doesn't come with a driver. If Chen Feng rents the excavator and then can't use it, wouldn't that be a real headache?
After resting in the pit for a while, Chen Feng squatted down and continued digging.
This digging was even more difficult; he had to dig out all the soil, lift it up, and then continue digging.
This efficiency is many times slower than on the ground.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but the pit was getting deeper and deeper, yet Chen Feng felt there was still a considerable distance to go.
Chen Feng tried to shovel down again, but he didn't manage to go down. Instead, he hit a hard object, which made his hand feel numb.
Even before they've gotten close enough, he doesn't need to think to know that it's definitely a rock.
He squatted down wearily and sighed, slowly digging at the soil next to the stone with a small shovel, trying to loosen it.
He just hopes the stone isn't too big, otherwise he'll be in real trouble.
The more Chen Feng tried to pry it open with the small shovel, the more disheartened he became.
Damn it, how come I can't get my head up like this?!
After poking around with a small shovel for a long time, Chen Feng finally managed to carve out the outline of the stone. He took a deep breath and prepared to take a break after removing the stone.
Chen Feng tried to lift it with his hands, but he couldn't lift it at all. It wasn't because Chen Feng wasn't strong enough, but because he had nowhere to grab onto.
Chen Feng stood up, thought for a moment, then picked up the large shovel, stuck it into the side of the rock, and tried to pry it up.
As long as the stone can stand upright, Chen Feng can lift it out.
This prying motion was indeed very effective. Chen Feng saw the stone move, so he slowly inserted the shovel and then forcefully pried it up.
Gradually, the stone grew larger and larger. Finally, Chen Feng exerted his strength and broke the stone off. But before he could even feel happy, he heard a "crack" and the stone fell to the ground.
Chen Feng braced the rock with his leg to prevent it from falling. He had put in so much effort; if it went back, he would be devastated.
"Howl!"
Although the rock did not fall and was held up by Chen Feng, Chen Feng's leg was bumped by the rock.
Because of the heat, his thin pants offered no protection whatsoever, and the impact caused him sharp pain, prompting him to cry out in agony.
"Phew~"
Chen Feng paused for a moment, then picked up the object in his left hand and glanced at it.
He already knew what was going on, and sure enough, when he picked it up, he found half of the wooden handle of the shovel in his hand.
"I haven't even seen the goods yet, and I've already set up a shovel myself, and I even bumped my leg, damn it..."
Chen Feng said somewhat dejectedly, then picked up the stone, lifted it high above his head with a forceful motion, and threw it away.
After throwing it out, Chen Feng climbed out, sat on the edge of the pit panting, and rolled up his pants to take a look.
The area below his knee on his calf was now bright red, and it still hurt a little when Chen Feng touched it.
Although it didn't cause any serious injuries, it was still quite a fall.
Seeing that nothing serious had happened, Chen Feng put his trouser leg back up.
Now the shovel is broken, and I'm still quite a distance from the goods. Using a small shovel would be even less efficient, and I don't know how long it would take to dig.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng stood up, slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked towards where his car was parked.
There's a spare shovel in the car, so I figured I'd just pick up the car early and drive it over myself.
Chen Feng walks with a slight limp, and his right leg hurts a little when he puts pressure on it.
Chen Feng walked all the way to the Wuling car and drove it over.
After getting off the vehicle, Chen Feng stretched his legs and felt a bit better, so he didn't think much of it. He went back into the truck bed, took out a spare shovel, and prepared to return to the pit to continue digging.
This is Chen Feng's way of doing things. He always keeps two of the tools in his car, just in case something unexpected happens, so he's always prepared.
I glanced at the time before digging, and it's already past 2 PM.
"Coo coo..."
Chen Feng's empty stomach growled, so he grabbed a piece of beef jerky from the car, threw it into his mouth, and jumped back into the pit while chewing.
He won't eat until we dig this thing out today.
He picked up a new shovel and continued digging. After swallowing a little something, Chen Feng felt a bit better.
Shovelful after shovelful of sand was thrown out of the pit, and time passed little by little.
After what seemed like an eternity, Chen Feng finally felt he was very close to that guy.
When he stood up again, he saw that he was just peeking out from the outside.
Squat down a little, and your line of sight is level with the ground. But I must say, seeing the world from this angle gives you a unique feeling.
Because the pit was dug so deep, Chen Feng could no longer see what was inside, so he had taken the flashlight out of the car and thrown it at his feet.
Chen Feng is really tired now. He's exhausted and hungry. Anyone would have to dig a pit all day, let alone this tiny one. It's making Chen Feng very uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath, ready to seize the opportunity and get the goods out in one go.
