Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 678: Gained some knowledge (1/2)

The camel team moved forward slowly, and the road became more and more desolate. The grass and trees on the ground gradually became sparse, replaced by various weathered rocks and fine stones on the ground. wAp.

Everyone ate some dry food at noon, took a short rest, and continued to move forward in the afternoon.

Riding on the camel's back, everyone gradually became miserable.

Although the camel's back was relatively soft, the legs gradually became numb after sitting for a long time.

And the constant back and forth friction also gradually rubbed the skin and flesh on the inner thighs.

When they stopped to rest at night, everyone got off the camel and all became bow-legged.

Fortunately, Li Likun had prepared in advance and gave each person a small bottle with medicine powder in it.

Liu Qingshan was fine. When he rode the camel, he was also very uncomfortable at the beginning.

Later, he gradually gained some experience, and his body slowly bounced up and down with the ups and downs of the camel, as if he had merged with the camel under him, and naturally he didn't suffer so much.

It's just that this method can't be taught to others. Even if he taught it, others wouldn't be able to learn it.

Aizimaiti collected some dry grass and branches, built a fire, put a small iron pot on it, boiled water and made a pot of hot soup.

He tore the dried meat he brought into small strips and put it in the fire, so that at least he could drink a mouthful of hot soup.

With a bowl of hot meat soup for each person, everyone's spirits improved a lot.

As the sun set, the temperature suddenly began to drop. Liu Qingshan took out a down jacket from the luggage and asked everyone to put it on.

Aizimaiti was easy. He wrapped himself in the sheepskin coat he brought, and led a dozen camels to find a place with slightly lush vegetation.

People were full, but the camels were still hungry.

Although it was okay for the camels to not eat or drink for a few days, they could ask the camels to store more food while they still had food.

Liu Qingshan also wanted to take a stroll and digest his food, so he followed behind, and Xiaoxu followed him.

At this moment, the world seemed even more vast, and there were only two people's rustling footsteps on the gravel on the ground.

After setting off, Miss Xiaoxu was much calmer, perhaps because she had already made all preparations in her heart.

"Qingshan, you said that life is so tiring, why do people still want to live?" The girl suddenly asked softly.

Liu Qingshan was a little caught off guard for such a profound philosophical question, and subconsciously answered: "Maybe it's out of instinct."

Then he felt something was wrong, and smiled and said:

"According to my current understanding, first of all, I have to live well, and then let the people I care about and love live well."

The girl was silent again, kicking stones from time to time, and I don't know if she heard Liu Qingshan's words.

Suddenly, the girl picked up a small stone from the ground and looked at it in front of her: "What a beautiful stone, it seems to glow?"

She was holding a stone the size of a pigeon egg, ruddy in color, and translucent.

I don't know if it was because of the erosion of water or the blow of wind and sand, the surface of the stone showed a natural frosted state.

Liu Qingshan was also stunned. Karamay, Devil City, Stone, these words together reminded him of a kind of jade that was discovered very late in later generations.

That is the golden silk jade, and the best of the golden silk jade is this kind of chalcedony that can faintly glow, called: gem light.

The golden silk jade is the rarest and most precious in red, and the gem light level is also worth 10,000 yuan per gram.

Of course, that was decades later. As for now, this gem is still lying quietly on the Gobi Desert like those ordinary stones, accepting the baptism of wind and sand.

In fact, as early as the ancient country of Loulan, the golden silk jade was regarded as a gem by the Loulan people and widely used.

But later, as the ancient country of Loulan was submerged in the sea of ​​sand, this kind of jade was no longer in demand.

Liu Qingshan's mouth curled up slightly, and he thought about how to repay Aizimaiti and the herdsmen who helped nearby.

"This stone, I just wear it on my chest." The girl next to him took the red gem light and gestured in front of her chest.

The shape of that stone is really a bit like a heart. It doesn't even need to be polished. You just need to slightly inlay it around and fix it, and you can wear it.

Liu Qingshan nodded. He certainly understood the girl's intention, so he smiled:

"After I go back, after my jewelry processing factory is established, I will find the best designer to help you make a pendant with this."

The girl smiled, and her smile was so bright that it seemed that the whole sky was brightened: "No, I'm going to give this to Brother Hai."

Well, it's already this time, and you're still showing off your love.

Liu Qingshan was silent, looking down on the ground while walking, and soon found a yellow one. It was about the size of an egg. Holding it in his hand, he could still feel the residual heat after being exposed to the sun, and it felt very warm.

Looking at the color, it was like chicken fat, and there was a hint of red on the top. Even if Liu Qingshan didn't know much about jade, he knew that this thing could definitely be called beautiful jade.

At this time, Aizimaiti came back, and the camel was already nibbling on the bushes on the ground in front.

Seeing the stones in Liu Qingshan's hands, Aizimaiti smiled and shook his head, then waved his hand, probably saying that this thing is everywhere and has no value.

Liu Qingshan has heard that before the value of golden silk jade was discovered, you could pick up hundreds of kilograms a day in this Gobi Desert with a basket.

But later on, if you can pick up one kilogram a day, you are considered lucky.

Liu Qingshan shouted and called Li Likun over to act as an interpreter. He said seriously to Aizimaiti:

"Brother Aizimaiti, I need this kind of jade, but I don't have time to stay here to collect it, so I am going to entrust this matter to you."

"You can ask the herdsmen around you to help me pick up this kind of jade, and then I will send people to take it away regularly. As for the price, let me think about it..."

Aizimaiti waved his hands repeatedly: "No, we are friends. There are such stones everywhere. We won't ask for money."

Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "Just because we are friends, I will not deceive my friends. You should be rewarded for your hard work. This is fair."

"Okay." Aizimaiti nodded, then casually picked up a piece of gold silk jade with his feet on the ground: "Look, it's very easy."

Liu Qingshan took it in his hand and looked at it. It seemed to be of average quality. It seemed that he would need some brief coaching to clarify the quality.

He didn't want to accept these ordinary gold and jade, it was best if they were of gemstone level.

So he asked with a smile: "Brother Aizimaiti, don't you ask the price?"

Aizimaiti laughed loudly: "My friend, I just said, even if you don't need money, I will help you."

"I'll give you one hundred yuan for one kilogram of the best quality product."

Liu Qingshan shook the yellow gemstone in his hand and the red gemstone in Miss Xiaoxu's hand.

Although decades later, they would all be sold in grams, considering the price difference, Liu Qingshan did not offer too high a price.

After all, this thing has to be stored for a long time.

"Oh, my friend, you are kidding me."

Aizimaiti shook his head vigorously. He couldn't understand how the stones everywhere were worth so much money.

One hundred yuan per kilogram can buy several sheep.

"I never joke around with my friends." Liu Qingshan said calmly.

Now Aizimaiti was no longer calm. He kept mumbling: "Oh, let me think about it, I need to think about it..."

Even Li Likun, who was acting as a translator next to him, opened his eyes in shock: "Boss, no, I want to stay here and pick up stones!"

"Of course. From now on, the matters here will be left to you and Wang Xiang. You are responsible for collecting the jade and transporting it back to the capital."

Liu Qingshan felt that it was appropriate to leave this matter to Li Likun, and even if Hetian Yu contacted the purchasing channel, he could hand it over to them as well.

"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss!"

Li Likun was overjoyed. This kind of errand was much better than driving at the construction site.

Aizimaiti on the side thought for a long time and finally figured it out. He walked up to Liu Qingshan:

"My friend, I understand. You want to thank me, but you can't give me money directly, so you want to compensate me in this way. No, this won't work. I'm very angry now!"

Liu Qingshan blinked, a bit dumbfounded, what are you thinking about?

No matter how much I explained to him, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it, so Liu Qingshan took out the jade pig dragon on his chest from his collar:

"Brother Aizimaiti, tell me how much this jade is worth?"

It was a little dark, so Aizimaiti came closer and turned on the flashlight: "This can be considered jade, it's just a stone."

Indeed, compared with the gemstone in front of you, the material of the ancient red jade is indeed much different.

"But this thing is worth at least 10,000 yuan now. Of course, it is something left by ancient humans thousands of years ago, so the value is higher."

Aizimaiti was obviously confused again. He couldn't understand: when did the stones that are everywhere become valuable?

But there was plenty of time for him to think about it slowly, so Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry. After these herdsmen exchanged gold and jade for real money, they would probably believe it.

After letting the camels go for a few hours, Aizimaiti drove them to a large weathered stone pile in a bit of a hurry.

The camels formed a circle, all crawling on the sand, and began to chew slowly with their big mouths.

Camels are similar to cows in that they are both ruminants, and common people call this "chewing the cud."

"Let's go to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow." Aizimaiti unloaded several sheepskins and rolls of blankets from the camel's back and showed them to everyone.

I saw him spreading the sheepskin on the ground, next to a big camel. Aizimaiti put it on the sheepskin, curled up, and covered his body with a blanket, even his head.

A whining voice came from inside the blanket: "This is very warm."

Just sleep like this?

Everyone became more knowledgeable and took action one after another.

Others were fine, but Liu Qingshan looked at Miss Xiaoxu and saw that she had also laid out the sheepskin, lying down next to a camel, and finally squeezed her body towards the camel.

It seems that this girl is much stronger than she appears.

Liu Qingshan also covered himself with a blanket and began to sleep.

However, he still asked Aizimaiti: "Don't you need a night watchman?"

After Li Likun translated, Aizimaiti's dull voice came: "Camels are more vigilant than us."

Okay, then go to sleep. In this environment, of course it is impossible to fall asleep immediately.

But listening to the silence all around outside, with only the gentle and rhythmic chewing sound of camels, people who had worked hard for a day gradually fell asleep...

No one talked that night. The next morning, everyone was awakened by the cold.

Liu Qingshan led them to run a few laps, and everyone was warmed up.

Aizimaiti cooked another pot of meat soup, and the sun gradually came up. Finally, they survived the difficult night.

After dinner, everyone continued on the road. After riding the camel for a while, Li Likun and Cao Xiaofei simply slipped out to the ground and walked while looking for the shiny golden jade on the ground.

Anyway, the camel walked slowly, so they could keep up.

After finding a piece, the two happily ran to Liu Qingshan's camel and asked the boss to help identify the quality.

The poor quality ones were thrown away directly; the good quality ones were put into the pockets. After a while, the pockets of the two people made a rustling sound when they walked.

Li Likun patted his pockets and said, "This is full of money."

After their pockets were full, the two moved to the backpack. Li Likun said to Liu Qingshan with a smile:

"Boss, I have several kilograms here, at least I can exchange for 200 yuan."

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: This is the first to open up the wasteland, it's great.

But he still said, "Pick up less first, don't crush the camel."

Aizimati gradually believed it, but he didn't go down to pick up the stuff. There will be plenty of time to pick up this stuff slowly in the future.

There are all kinds of gold silk jade in this area of ​​100 to 200 kilometers, so there is no rush.

But during the lunch break, Aizimati still collected a few pieces of gold silk jade, and they were all the kind that could glow in the sun, and showed them to Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Brother Aizimati, these are worth about 100 yuan."

Aizimati was so happy that his beard curled up: "Thank you, my friend, you are our best friend."

With this extra income, the herdsmen around them will definitely get rich, so Aizimati was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't want to go to the Devil City at first, because the legend there was too scary.

But he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain. He couldn't help but feel that the Devil City was not that scary.

In the afternoon, everyone continued on the road. Although the camels walked slowly, they walked nearly 100 miles in a day.

According to Aizimati, they will walk another day tomorrow, and they will enter the area of ​​the Devil City the day after tomorrow.

When they went to bed at night, it was still the same as yesterday, but in the middle of the night, Liu Qingshan woke up suddenly.

I saw the camel next to me struggling to get up from the sand.

And Aizimati next to him also jumped up and screamed.

Li Likun was also awakened: "Wolf, wolf pack!"

Liu Qingshan's roar also sounded: "Prepare for battle!"

March, early spring.

The clouds overlapped and blended with each other, diffusing crimson lightning, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.

The city was full of broken walls and ruins, and everything was withered. Collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of gloom and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, and looked at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his worn-out coat from all directions, swept through his body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about seven or eight feet away from him, and sometimes vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement would instantly take it into the air.
