Chapter 112 Exploring the Mine



"You can't drive?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, rural people start getting used to tractors and such in their teens, so driving is a piece of cake; the only question is whether they have a license or not.

That old guy can't drive? That's ridiculous.

“I’m afraid to drive. I’m always afraid of crashing. I didn’t dare to drive the tractor at home either. The only time my dad forced me to drive it, I drove it into a ditch after only a couple of steps.”

“From then on, they never let me touch the car again.”

Zheng Ping felt somewhat helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want to learn, but the problem was that he was naturally afraid of driving.

"six."

After hearing this, Chen Feng could only utter one word. He then sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove forward.

He didn't know where to go, so he just drove on aimlessly.

After driving for about twenty minutes, Chen Feng looked to his right and saw several high, rounded hills.

Seeing this, he immediately became interested, slowed down, and craned his neck to look in that direction, wanting to know what it was.

"Could this be a mine shaft?"

This familiar style is exactly the same as that of the abandoned mine.

Now that we've seen the mine shaft, wouldn't it be right not to go and take a look?

Thinking this, Chen Feng stopped the car. That's it for today. He wanted to see what the difference was between state-owned mines and private mines.

Seeing that he had parked the car, everyone packed up their things and prepared to head down to start their work for the day.

Chen Feng got out of the car carrying the detector and gazed at the small hills in the distance. Before leaving, he made sure to take a flashlight with him, as he wanted to go inside and take a look if conditions allowed.

Wearing his hat, Chen Feng continued walking. Of course, the mine was still quite far away, and he would have to walk for a while, so he searched for goods as he went, not in a hurry.

At the same time, they would run into any bush they saw, not missing a single opportunity to sell their goods.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Feng received a notification from the system.

This is just ordinary land, not next to any bushes, and nothing special.

Chen Feng scanned the area with his eyes, then picked up the detector and began to probe.

The detector scanned line by line, and after six or seven lines, it emitted a sound.

"Ooh-woo~"

Chen Feng casually drew a circle with his foot, squatted down, took out a shovel, and started shoveling dirt.

With one shovelful, a full shovelful of soil was scooped up. Just as it was about to be passed over the soil, a strong headwind blew, sending the sand in the shovel flying into the air.

Chen Feng quickly turned his head away and spat repeatedly. Caught off guard, he got sand into his mouth.

Now my mouth tastes like sand, and it feels gritty when I lick it.

After shoveling the soil, Chen Feng poured it out and took out water from his bag to rinse his mouth.

If it were a normal windy day, Chen Feng would be quite happy. Even though it was hot and the wind was hot, it was still better than no wind at all.

But just as he was crossing the land, a strong wind blew up, leaving Chen Feng speechless.

He always seems to get all the good things.

Brushing the sand off his clothes, Chen Feng picked up the shovel and moved to a different spot, this time with his back to the wind and dust, so it wouldn't blow into his face.

After digging more than a dozen times, the detector beeped. Chen Feng shook the shovel and then passed it over the detector.

"Ooh-woo~"

Seeing that the goods were still in the shovel, Chen Feng reached out and rummaged through the shovel, and soon he found a silver nugget.

It's probably worth around forty yuan. It seems Chen Feng didn't have the same luck as yesterday with all gold today.

He was wondering whether he was just lucky to have found gold, or if the place was just rich in gold.

After they returned yesterday, Chen Feng specifically asked them about their harvest.

They still had a pile of silver, but only one person found a gold nugget, which was estimated to be worth two or three hundred.

After making inquiries, Chen Feng confirmed that Lian Jin's success yesterday was simply due to good luck, and had nothing to do with geographical location.

But when they asked Chen Feng about his earnings, he still said four or five hundred.

Keep it a little more than them, but not too much.

After all, it would seem abnormal if we were the same as them or had less than them. They were so lucky before, but they lost their luck when they arrived in a big place. After all, the reputation of the Gold Rush Holy Body is well-known.

Four or five hundred is just right, not too much or too little.

Chen Feng tossed the silver pellet into the bottle, picked up the detector, stood up, and continued on his way.

This time, his luck wasn't so good. He walked for about twenty minutes, almost reaching the mine, but the system still hadn't sounded. Chen Feng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling quite helpless.

If they don't come out, they don't come out. What can Chen Feng do? He just hopes that things won't stay like this all day.

He soon arrived at the front of the mine, which was obviously much larger and more standardized than the small abandoned mine at home.

Upon seeing the layers of steel frames supporting the mine shaft, Chen Feng grew bolder and stepped closer to knock on them.

"Clang clang..."

The steel bars have oxidized somewhat over time, but it's not a big deal; they remain very strong and haven't rotted.

It can only be said that a state-owned mine is a state-owned mine; its safety level has been maximized.

Inside was a downhill path, pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything clearly.

Chen Feng took out a flashlight from his pocket and shone it straight in. The mine was very far away, and the flashlight couldn't reach the end of the tunnel.

After confirming that the steel frame was fine, he mustered his courage and went inside. As soon as he entered the cave, he felt a cool breeze, which had made him feel hot.

It would be so much fun to come here when it's hot at noon.

Shining a flashlight around, I saw that the hole was about two meters high and four or five meters wide, with a large steel frame every half meter.

The ground was just ordinary soil, sloping downwards, and it was unclear how deep it ultimately went.

Chen Feng walked cautiously, fearing there might be a trap. After walking more than ten meters, Chen Feng took out a lighter and lit it.

Seeing the lighter lit, Chen Feng felt relieved and continued forward.

He was afraid of oxygen deprivation inside, and that he might faint again in a daze, which would be terrible.

Maintaining his habit of lighting a lighter every few meters, Chen Feng walked down and soon saw a piece of clothing on the ground.

He picked up a twig and poked at it, discovering it was a tattered miner's uniform, so he tossed it aside.

Chen Feng suddenly felt like one of the main characters in a game, now exploring the plot, and it was actually quite exciting.

I wonder if there will be a treasure chest at the deepest part of the mine. It would be amazing if there was a golden legendary treasure.

However, he felt the chances were slim. Anything of value would have been taken by the workers when the mine was abandoned. How could he possibly have it?

He walked for who knows how far, and when he looked back at the cave entrance, all that was left was a small white light. Only then did Chen Feng realize how far he had gone.

Ahead was a fork in the road, with two paths leading left and right. Chen Feng hesitated upon seeing this.

Should we go left or right?

After thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to go left. The reason was simple: men go left and women go right.

Entering the mine shaft on the left, it's not much different from before. It still has a steel frame structure that's half a meter apart, but it's not as wide, probably only two or three meters.
