He stretched, glanced at his phone, and saw it was 5:30.
Chen Feng sat up, shook his head, and prepared to get out of bed.
The main reason is that if it weren't for the old man, Chen Feng might have stayed in bed a little longer, but with the old man as a role model, Chen Feng couldn't stay in bed any longer.
The thought that other people are so old and still working while I'm still lying in bed just doesn't feel right.
This is perhaps why parents always send their children to top classes when they are young.
The environment definitely affects people.
I got up, opened the trunk, and went outside. The old man's meal was already cooked, and he was eating it.
It looks like he soaked the leftover soup from yesterday in the rice.
Seeing Chen Feng get up, the old man greeted him while holding his lunchbox.
"Get up."
"Okay." Chen Feng nodded and fetched water to wash up.
In the morning, Chen Feng would just grab a bite to eat, some egg yolk pie, bread, and a sausage.
Since it was all fast food, Chen Feng ate quickly. By the time he finished eating, the old man had also just finished eating and washed the bowl.
The old man casually popped open four painkillers, swallowed them with water, and told Chen Feng.
"Shall we drive the car forward a bit more?"
"Driving is fine too." Chen Feng thought for a moment, and the two got into the car together.
The car swayed and drove forward for a while, then the two of them got out and walked in two different directions.
The terrain here is uneven, and Chen Feng was walking with uneven steps.
Moreover, the soil here is loose, so this must be land that has been cleared by humans.
Land like this is considered substandard; nobody wants it.
They are usually allocated as a complement to a good piece of land.
After walking a short distance, Chen Feng received a prompt from his system.
Chen Feng looked down, squatted down, and took out a small shovel to start digging.
Because the soil was loose, Chen Feng dug quite easily, scooping up a large shovelful of soil with a light touch.
Before long, a large pit appeared in front of Chen Feng.
Chen Feng pulled over the detector and started digging as he went.
After about three or four shovelfuls, Chen Feng found the goods.
"Ooh-woo~"
Chen Feng held up the small shovel, shook it slightly, and continued to pass it through the detector.
After shaking it a few more times, Chen Feng saw the object in the shovel.
He reached out, picked up the item, blew on it, and found it to be a silver nugget, probably worth seventy or eighty yuan.
For the first shipment of the morning, Chen Feng could only say it was alright.
After collecting the silver coins, Chen Feng continued walking forward.
Walking further, Chen Feng came to a small slope. He stepped up and found himself in front of a huge pit.
The pit was two or three meters deep and was shaped like a semi-circle.
Chen Feng looked around. These didn't look like signs of someone digging. Could this pit have been formed naturally?
Although it's a big pit, there's a place to go down, and it's not that steep.
Chen Feng's curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to go and see what was going on.
Chen Feng slowly walked down the slope and arrived at the pit.
There wasn't much grass in the pit, but there was plenty of wild grass around the edge.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a six-meter radius of the host!”
Chen Feng received a notification from the system. After briefly sensing the surroundings, Chen Feng looked around in surprise.
There were two or three other pieces of goods nearby, and they weren't even buried very deep, so they weren't as difficult to dig up as the previous one.
Regardless of what happened in this pit, having something to sell is a good thing. Chen Feng squatted down, took out his small shovel, and prepared to dig.
Chen Feng first went to the position closest to him and then used his shovel to break through.
The soil on top was already quite dry, but after digging two shovelfuls, the soil underneath was still damp and black in color.
Chen Feng shoveled several times, and when he shoveled again, he actually pulled half a fish bone out of the soil.
Chen Feng blinked, picked up the fish bone with one hand, and looked puzzled.
Could it be that someone is having a picnic here? But he didn't see any picnic trash.
For example, barbecue skewers, packaging bags, etc.
Chen Feng used a shovel to rummage around on the ground, gently shoveling back and forth. Sure enough, he dug out another half of the fish bone, this time with the head still attached.
Chen Feng reached out and picked up the half-fish bone, shook it gently, and then put the two pieces of fish bone back together.
This fish is quite large; Chen Feng estimates it weighs over a pound.
Now only the fish tail is missing, but Chen Feng estimates that it's nearby. He just needs to search around and he'll definitely find it.
But why would he bother with that when he has nothing better to do? He should just keep digging for more stuff.
After digging for a while, a pit quickly took shape. Chen Feng pulled the detector over and began to work through the soil.
After four or five shovelfuls, Chen Feng pulled out the item. Hearing the detector's beeping sound, Chen Feng shook the shovel and continued using the detector.
A moment later, Chen Feng reached out and took out the goods.
This is still just a single silver coin, which Chen Feng estimates is worth a few dozen yuan, a record low for this place.
Changing direction, Chen Feng squatted down again with his shovel and began digging.
This time, Chen Feng dug out several fish bones in just a couple of shovelfuls.
Chen Feng picked up the fish bones and tried to piece them together, but they didn't belong to a single fish.
Moreover, this fish bone is much smaller than the previous one, probably only about two or three ounces.
Chen Feng dug for a while and managed to remove quite a few of the remaining fish bones, mainly the fish heads, from which he removed three.
Looking at the messy fish bones, Chen Feng stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Chen Feng looked around and suddenly remembered that this place used to be a fishpond.
They do it in their village too. Some people will use an excavator to dig a pit next to the land, fill it with water, and release some fish fry here and there. They will then dig them up in the fall.
Isn't this also a side job? And during droughts, you can pump water from the fishpond to irrigate the fields.
No wonder he dug up so many fish bones; it turns out this was a dried-up fishpond.
However, the fishpond looked like it had been dry for a long time, with not a single drop of water left.
After understanding what was going on, Chen Feng continued digging.
With a shovel to the left and a shovel to the right, Chen Feng dug smaller pits in the large pit.
Once he felt it was about right, Chen Feng started shoveling dirt with a shovel.
Within minutes, he found a silver nugget. This time, the silver nugget was decent, worth about a hundred yuan.
Chen Feng stood up, carrying the detector, and moved to the next position.
After a few shovelfuls, Chen Feng unearthed another piece of fish bone here.
Judging from the looks of it, there weren't many fish here, or perhaps the person had already caught all the fish before leaving, and these were the ones that slipped through the net.
Strangely enough, some ponds are stagnant water, and you don't even need to put fish fry in them; they will produce fish on their own, though in very small quantities.
This puzzled Chen Feng greatly; where did these fish come from?
Moreover, even if people in these fishponds are raising fish as a side business, they basically don't feed them.
