At least in the abandoned mines of the hills, Chen Feng rarely saw silver ingots weighing over a hundred.
I bent down and picked up the detector. I wondered what the villagers would think if they knew that there was such a valuable item in their fields.
Isn't this just like farming on a gold mine?
Chen Feng smiled and continued walking forward.
Perhaps due to the soil, there are quite a few wild grasses scattered here, each one growing quite tall, about thirty or forty centimeters.
Further ahead, there were some corn stalks lying haphazardly.
Chen Feng's family has always grown this, so he recognized it at a glance.
The corn at home grows straight and tall, reaching as high as Chen Feng, while the corn here is only a little over a meter tall and doesn't grow well at all, incomparable to the corn at home.
Chen Feng guessed that some of the corn that had fallen to the ground had taken root, sprouted, and grown on its own.
As Chen Feng walked over, he rummaged around and took a closer look. Although the corn was crooked and looked odd, it had actually produced ears of corn.
Chen Feng reached out and opened one to take a look. The corn cob was tiny, with only a few pitiful kernels.
He estimated that this was the limit for these corn plants; even if they were allowed to continue growing, they would only grow to this size and would not grow any larger.
After Chen Feng took a few steps forward, the system gave him a prompt.
Chen Feng craned his neck and looked around. He felt that the thing was under the corn. Seeing this, Chen Feng could only shrug helplessly.
Then he stepped forward and transformed into a ruthless corn harvester, pulling the corn directly from the ground and throwing it aside.
We can't leave it lying there; it's right there down there, and we can't catch it if we don't pull it out.
After harvesting six or seven ears of corn, Chen Feng squatted down, pulled some weeds, and took out a small shovel to start digging a hole.
Perhaps because of the crops, the soil here is very loose after the corn is pulled up, making it quite easy to dig.
Before long, Chen Feng dug a deep pit, and inside the pit were some small insects that he often saw but were not known.
Chen Feng felt that the object was buried a bit too deep, so he continued digging for a while. When he felt it was about right, he pulled up the detector and started digging through the soil.
After four or five shovelfuls, Chen Feng's detector transmitted feedback, confirming that the goods were already in his shovel.
Chen Feng shook the shovel and then passed it over the detector.
After shaking it a few times, Chen Feng started sifting through it and quickly found a dark yellow object.
It was a gold piece with rounded edges and a bit of thickness. Chen Feng weighed it in his hand and estimated it to be worth over two thousand.
He intended to put the gold piece into the small bottle, but his legs were so itchy from the grass that he bent over and scratched them vigorously, still holding the gold piece in his hand.
After scratching, Chen Feng took out a small bottle and threw the goods in.
Continuing to walk through the grass, after about seven or eight minutes, Chen Feng received another notification from his system.
He looked around, his gaze settling on one spot.
This time, there were no corn stalks left, only a pile of weeds. Chen Feng walked over, gathered the weeds, pulled them off forcefully, and then squatted down to start digging.
With almost every shovel stroke, Chen Feng would bring up some grass roots or something. The ground here was quite dry on the surface because of the plants, but it was very damp underneath.
It was basically just mud, and Chen Feng's hands were covered in black dirt from digging.
He quickly dug out a lot of soil and made another hole in the area. When he felt it was about right, Chen Feng prepared to fill the hole with soil.
Chen Feng had just dug out a shovelful, and before he could even finish digging, he saw what looked like a silvery-gray particle in the pit. He reached out and picked it up.
This is a silver nugget, probably worth around seventy or eighty yuan. Chen Feng wiped the dirt off the silver nugget with his hand, preparing to clean it and put it in a bottle.
However, Chen Feng's hands weren't clean either. Apart from the first couple of swipes that cleaned them a bit, when he wiped them again, the silver grains not only weren't clean, but they seemed to be getting dirtier and dirtier.
"You son of a bitch."
Chen Feng blew on it forcefully, then, too lazy to care anymore, simply put it into a bottle.
Let's wipe it all together when we get back tonight.
Carrying his tools, Chen Feng continued walking forward. The area wasn't very big, and after a few more minutes, he left the ridged field.
Chen Feng noticed that there seemed to be no shrubs in this place, just a lot of weeds and soil, not the sandy soil of abandoned mines in the hills.
Although there are no shrubs, there are large trees here, the kind that are several meters tall.
However, perhaps because no one takes care of them, coupled with the influence of the environment, these trees are all crooked and twisted, and it is difficult to find a straight one.
Moreover, there aren't many trees; you have to walk for a while to see one, and they grow sparsely.
Upon seeing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but think, "What if there's something under this big tree? I used to be able to just pull down the bushes with a bit of effort, but what about this big tree?"
We can't very well uproot a willow tree ourselves.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng himself chuckled. In fact, Lu Zhishen was the true gold-digging saint.
After walking a little further, the system notification sounded.
After looking around, Chen Feng felt that the goods seemed to be behind him, so he turned around and scanned them back and forth.
Finally, Chen Feng's gaze settled on a spot diagonally behind him. He walked over, squatted down, and took out a small shovel.
When Chen Feng tried to shovel down, his shovel not only failed to go down but bounced back, and a rustling sound came from the ground.
Chen Feng was very familiar with the sound; it was the sound of a mineral water bottle.
Chen Feng dug around with a shovel and found a mineral water bottle buried in the soil.
Chen Feng didn't recognize it before, but now he knows that this mineral water is a local brand from Qiuling City.
The bottle was filthy, and the label was worn away.
Chen Feng reached out and pulled the mineral water bottle out of the soil, threw it aside, and then continued shoveling.
Before he could even shovel twice, Chen Feng's shovel bounced back again.
"What the hell..."
Chen Feng dug around with a shovel, puzzled, and found another mineral water bottle buried in the soil.
Somewhat annoyed, I dug out the soil next to the mineral water bottle and then pulled the bottle out.
I don't know who's so bored as to bury a water bottle in the ground for no reason. Are you just looking for trouble?
But after Chen Feng pulled the water bottle out, he seemed to see another bottle cap at the bottom of the pit.
After clearing the soil to the side, Chen Feng reached out and forcefully pulled the bottle out.
Sure enough, this is another one!
Chen Feng was speechless. One by one, he dug out seven or eight water bottles from the pit.
"Who the hell is this person who's so boring? I'm speechless." Chen Feng's helpless voice rang out.
Chen Feng was now certain that this was probably something some bored kid did in the past; adults don't have that much free time.
