Chapter 48 Abnormalities in the Jade Mine



Today is the fifth day of searching for Qin Xuan.

Xiao Ya, Hu Zian and others still came to Pan Lin's office early.

Pan Lin had just finished dealing with Wu Mijun's follow-up matters.

Just as he was about to have breakfast with Xiao Ya and the others, he received news from his subordinates.

Qin Xuan found it!

He was rescued by the villagers of Jiaose Village and is now living in the home of the village chief.

Upon learning that Qin Xuan was still alive, Pan Lin immediately asked the local officials who reported the matter to lead them to Wu Mintian's home.

Looking at the green military vehicles parked in front of his house, Wu Mintian couldn't help but feel a surge of shock in his heart.

Qin Xuan just told me that he had some connections with Commander Pan Lin of the Panshan Army and asked me to help report his safety.

But judging from the situation, how can there be any intersection at all?

I would believe you if you said you were Commander Pan Lin’s illegitimate son!

After hurriedly bringing Pan Lin and the others to Qin Xuan's room, Wu Mintian quietly retreated.

Only Pan Lin, Xiao Ya and others were left, staring at Qin Xuan, unable to calm down for a long time.

"I knew you couldn't die."

Looking at Qin Xuan, a tear fell from Xiao Ya's beautiful eyes.

Hu Zian and Yu En cried even more exaggeratedly.

After all, they had thought they would never see the omnipotent Mr. Qin again.

In the end, Qin Xuan was taken away from Wu Mintian's home by Pan Lin and arranged to live in the military camp.

Ting Xin and Wu Mintian also received some rewards from Pan Lin.

Five days later, the bandages on Qin Xuan's body had almost been removed.

During these five days, he asked Hu Zian to help him buy ten packages of medicinal powder for cultivation.

On the second day after he bought the medicine powder, he had already started practicing forcefully.

Just as Qin Xuan expected.

Practicing body training can indeed help the body to heal itself quickly.

At the same time, he also discovered that the injured areas seemed to become tougher than before after being repaired by the hot breath.

This made Qin Xuan start to have some crooked ideas.

How about I find someone to beat me up all over my body later?

This will bring your body's strength to a new level.

After finishing his training, someone suddenly knocked on Qin Xuan’s door.

When he opened the door, he saw that the person standing outside was the Jiao Se village chief Wu Mintian.

"Brother Wu, why are you here?"

"Come in and sit down!"

Qin Xuan enthusiastically pulled Wu Mintian in, but Wu Mintian's mood was obviously not that high.

As a Burmese, he actually doesn't like dealing with soldiers.

If the situation on his side wasn't really urgent, he wouldn't have come to the military camp to look for Qin Xuan.

"I came mainly to see how you were recovering."

"After all, the injury is so serious, I am still a little worried."

Wu Mintian bowed to Qin Xuan and then followed Qin Xuan into the house.

Qin Xuan laughed, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Wu."

"I have thick skin and flesh, so apart from a few spots that I need to be careful about and not doing strenuous exercise, I'm basically fine."

Wu Mintian nodded and said "That's good", but his frown still didn't relax.

Qin Xuan was not stupid either. Looking at the other person's expression, he knew that he must have something else to say.

So he poured Wu Mintian a glass of water and took the initiative to ask, "Brother Wu, you look so worried, did something happen to you?"

Wu Mintian sighed, organized his words, and told Qin Xuan about his troubles.

It turned out that ever since Wu Mintian returned from the jade fair, problems suddenly arose in his family's jade mine.

Not only is the quality of the raw stones not as good as before, but many marbles with strange skins have also appeared in the mines.

Especially in the past few days, the output of raw stones has decreased rapidly, and the mine is about to run out.

Wu Mintian had no choice but to seek medical treatment from all over the place.

He asked all the jade mine owners around him, but no one knew what was going on.

There was no other way, he could only come to find Qin Xuan, who was proficient in identifying raw stones, to see if he could help.

When Qin Xuan heard this, he immediately wanted to shake his head.

After all, I am a layman and I can't even understand jadeite raw stones. How can I understand jadeite mines?

But then he thought again, Wu Mintian had been very concerned about his affairs these days. He took him to the hospital and helped to report the news.

It would be a bit unfair for me to cut off his thoughts so hastily.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xuan finally agreed to Wu Mintian.

Anyway, I have the ability to listen to people's thoughts, so maybe I can really help out at the mine.

Arriving at the mine with Wu Mintian, Qin Xuan couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.

Thousands of ragged Burmese people walked back and forth in the mine.

Some were digging something on the spot with tools, while others were waiting for trucks to dump sand and gravel waste and then rushed over to look for the missed raw stones.

Wu Mintian saw Qin Xuan's expression and explained to him: "These people, like Ting Xin who saved you, are common jade pickers here."

"After each mine starts working, they will squat on the mine and look for some rough stones that look like they might produce jade from the mine cliffs and dumped sand and gravel."

After saying that, he pointed to the crowd in the distance.

“See those fully dressed people?”

“Most of them are jade merchants.”

"They will buy some raw stones that look good from jade miners."

"Of course, some jade miners are eager to get rich overnight, so they take the raw stones they find back home and cut them themselves."

After hearing Wu Mintian's words, Qin Xuan couldn't help but remain silent.

Although this is called a mine, there are countless mined pits here.

Many jade miners would stand at the edge of the unfenced mine and dig from above with their own shovels.

The danger can be imagined.

It is also said that mine landslides sometimes occur here.

In other words, these so-called jade pickers are gambling with their lives every day.

Bet on the chance to get rich overnight.

After passing the perimeter and coming to the vicinity of the mine, Wu Mintian pointed to a large number of raw stones that had been washed clean and said, "These stones were just dug out from the mine."

"Look at this, this."

"This is just ordinary marble. There is no jade in it at all."

As he spoke, Wu Mintian took two clean stones and handed them to Qin Xuan. When Qin Xuan took them and listened, the voice of the stones appeared directly in his ears.

Marble A: This is the first time I’ve seen such a lot of water. Am I in the sea?

Marble B: Who disturbed my sleep? I live so deep down, how could you dig me out?

After listening to the stone's thoughts, Qin Xuan shook his head and said to Wu Mintian: "These two pieces are indeed ordinary marbles, there is nothing special about them."

"You'd better take me to the mine to have a look."

Wu Mintian nodded and immediately took Qin Xuan to the jade mine.

There are still a large number of unmined jadeite stones on the mountain.

The voices of these jadeite raw stones also floated into Qin Xuan's ears along with the breeze.
