Chapter 104: Going down into the river to find gold.



Even though it's summer.

But the river water was also very cold.

After the heavy rain stopped, the water level dropped significantly.

In addition, the sun has been very strong these past few days.

The water level has dropped a bit more.

Compared to the devastating floods of a few days ago, the river is now pitifully low in water.

In some places, the riverbed has even been exposed.

Several river mussels were stuck in the silt at the bottom of the river.

You can see it at a glance.

Su Ruobai completely ignored them.

She doesn't like this.

When it's cooked to the perfect firmness, there are leech larvae inside.

You can't eat it, it's terrifying.

If you cook it for a while longer, killing all the leech babies, the meat will become as hard as rubber bands.

Even those with metallic superpowers couldn't bite it.

She stopped making things difficult for her teeth.

Su Ruobai's gaze was fixed on the plants.

The consciousness followed, asking them to help it find things.

She discovered it after what happened last time.

My wood-based superpower is surprisingly useful.

As soon as she stepped into the river, the chattering crowd around her fell silent.

Aunt Luo looked around.

No one spoke.

They all stared at Su Ruobai without moving.

Aunt Luo cleared her throat, drawing everyone's attention to her.

Then, feigning concern, he asked, "Su Zhiqing, aren't you going to see your in-laws?"

Su Ruobai continued walking inside, ignoring her.

She had already scouted out the areas closer to the shore, and there wasn't anything of value there.

She needed to go further in; it was in a deeper part of the water, which would make it easier for her to secretly make her move.

Put all the good stuff in the space.

When Aunt Luo saw Su Ruobai walking towards her, she assumed he was going to approach her and talk to her.

He then slightly raised his chin, waiting for Su Ruobai, this junior, to come to him.

Everyone found this strange.

Ever since this educated youth, Su, came to the village.

When did you become so polite?

She can answer people's questions politely.

They went back to the other person.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting to see what would happen.

Let's see what's different about this Aunt Luo.

As a result, Su, the educated youth, simply walked over.

He didn't even glance at Aunt Luo out of the corner of his eye.

"Pfft, hahaha..." Someone couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Aunt Xiao turned her head and glared at the sound.

His eyes were wide open.

The aunt who laughed out loud was not to be outdone.

He glared back.

He wouldn't back down verbally either.

"What are you glaring at me for? You think your eyes are the biggest? Come on, let's have a contest."

Aunt Luo chickened out after hearing what she said.

"What's the point of comparing? What good does it do to compare with you? Do you think big eyes can find gold? Pfft."

After saying that, he continued to touch things.

There are advantages to standing still right now.

The water has become much clearer.

The stones and silt at the bottom of the river are faintly visible.

Seeing that Aunt Luo had given in and admitted defeat, the auntie said nothing more.

"What are you cutting for, you coward!"

That's true.

However, she felt that Aunt Luo was right about something: big eyes don't necessarily mean you can find gold.

Only someone with her keen eyes and sharp mind could find her.

Su Ruobai didn't care about their disputes.

She is now single-mindedly focused on finding gold.

Gold, oh, how many meat tickets could you exchange for?

However, it seems that free trade is not allowed now.

The black market is also notorious for its aggressive price-cutting.

However, things will be better in a few years.

She first found the space where she stored it.

Anyway, this thing doesn't rust or grow mold.

To avoid arousing suspicion, she even bent down to look for it, just like everyone else.

After a long day of work, all I found were a few copper coins and nothing else.

Was she fooled?

Others shared the same idea.

"Hey, did you find it?" someone asked weakly.

"No, who said there was gold?" someone replied.

"Yes, who said that?"

"I don't know. I just got up this morning and heard someone outside shouting that a gold ingot had been found in the river, so I came here. What about you?"

"It's the same. I was drinking porridge when I heard that shout. It startled me so much that I almost choked to death."

"So, we've never even met this person?" said the one who had just been arguing with Aunt Luo.

"Oh, it's true! I was thinking, we haven't been tricked, have we?"

"That's possible, otherwise how come not a single one has been found? Who could be so despicable!"

"That's right, I'm not looking anymore, I'm going home. I've wasted a whole day, I could have earned six work points in a day like this."

"Go home, go home. If we find this guy, we'll give him a good beating."

"Yeah, beat that bastard to a pulp. What kind of swindler is that?"

Before long, everyone in the river had left.

Su Ruobai was left alone.

Standing in the river bathed in the setting sun.

It's as beautiful as an oil painting.

She heard what those people said.

She thought that the thing might actually exist.

After all, she made a fortune a few days ago.

It's a pity, maybe we weren't meant to be.

Forget it, I'm not going to look for it anymore.

go home.

Because Su Ruobai was groping her way along the river at an angle.

She now needs to cross the entire river to get home.

Since we're already here, we might as well give it a shot, no matter what.

Su Ruobai continued to have the plants find treasures for her.

The information that came back was disappointing.

It consists of sand, stones, and wood.

Finally, something seemed a little different, but when she picked it up, it was still just a fragment.

Upon closer inspection, it resembles fragments of one of those ceramic basins from her home.
