"Mr. Jiang, what is written on it?" Deng Jian approached.

All the way west, very bitter.

Deng Jian wanted to cry.

I used to be a slave in the Fang family, although the young master always disliked me, at least it was comfortable there, but when I came here, Deng Jian became black and thin.

Along the way, I wanted to cry, cried out, wanted to cry again, and burst into tears, but when the tears dried up, I realized that it was meaningless, because the road that should be rushed still had to be rushed, so I wiped away my tears, and the road was full of wind and dust , wearing stars and moon, with snow on his head and wrapped in a cloak, he couldn't bear the cold, but he still felt... used to it.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just some inscriptions, and what's recorded inside are all old things."

Deng Jian said with emotion: "I think those elders will build stone workshops and engrave inscriptions to record their achievements after they have made great achievements. The young master is such a remarkable person. He already has three stone workshops. I think he will build stone workshops in his life. There are seven."

Jiang Chen avoided talking about these issues.

Because these inscriptions do record achievements, but these achievements are like the past. Except for myself, I saw this great victory here. Therefore, the Ming army stationed here and established the Pinglu Guard here. , what is left? It's just yellow sand everywhere.

"Tomorrow we will go into the mountains."

"Oh." Deng Jian nodded.

Jiang Chen stared at Deng Jian: "It will be very hard, you have to be prepared."

"Oh." Deng Jian nodded again.

That night, Deng Jian cried and hid in his tent, crying again.

He really doesn't want to come here. Although the young master usually treats him badly, but his life is good, and he wants to marry a wife and have a baby. Why did he come here? It's cold here It was cold, there was no human habitation, God knows if he would encounter Tatars, he whimpered and kept sobbing, the young master seemed to want him, but he couldn't do anything except take care of the young master.

He was secretly sad, crying, crying, with tear stains, wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep.

Up the mountain the next day.

The mountains here are different from the mountains in Guannei. They are bare, the snow has stopped, but they are muddy and wet. There are almost no tall trees on them. At most, they are just some shrubs. This rolling mountain has almost no end.

The location marked by Fang Jifan is very general, and it is not easy to find the veins.

Some coal mine workers cleared the way. They are very experienced in digging rocks, and they have prepared picks long ago. They can walk freely on the mountain.

The mountain is rocky, and the snow on the mountainside is beginning to increase. Such aimless search is really a needle in a haystack.

But since the captain had ordered, no one dared to sit idle. They had traveled thousands of miles, and there was absolutely no reason to return empty-handed. Ever since, the crowd spread out in groups of three or five, one mountain top after another trying to dig.

Jiang Chen ordered people to build a simple camp in the mountains. During the day, everyone brought dry food and went out individually. Each of them took a compass and marked the location of the camp, and then collected rocks from nearby places.

For more than half a month, almost everyone was exhausted.

The dry food I brought was almost gone.

But Jiang Chen was not reconciled, he set out every day and only returned at night, day after day.

For him, although prospecting is boring, as long as his mentor says there are ore veins here, he must find out, because he is Fang Jifan's student, and Fang Jifan's student will never return empty-handed.

He asked people to go down the mountain to buy food in Lanzhou City, a hundred miles away, but the people who went there never came back, so he had to go there in person. On the way, he saw the person who had been sent out before. The few guides he hired, but now, all the clothes on his body have been taken off, his horse and his money and food are all gone, and he is hanging under a bare tree, freezing to death alive .

There are Tatars...

Jiang Chen was not surprised. He let the man down from the tree, dug a hole, buried him, and made a mark. He stared at a stick stuck in the tomb, stood there for a long time, then got on his horse and passed away. go.

After more than a month, the people in the camp had almost exhausted all their strength, and the heavy snow fell more and more heavily. The nearby mountains all turned into snow mountains, and the people became more and more silent. , One slipped and fell down the mountain.

Deng Jian's tears were dried up again, and he wanted to go back to the pass, even dreaming.

And on this day, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore. A miner shouted: "There are no ore veins here at all. This is a lie. If there are, why no one noticed before? We have been delayed here for more than a month." , There are Tatars here, sooner or later, they will find the traces of people here, they will find us, stay here, continue to consume, or die, we go back."

Everyone was moved.

Everyone wants to go home.

Deng Jian also almost blurted out, shouting that we should go back.

Only Jiang Chen had a gloomy face, and he yelled, "I can't go back."

"Why, there's nothing here, this damn place." The miner yelled dissatisfied.

Jiang Chen quietly went to grab the hilt of the sword at his waist, and then he said sharply, "Because my teacher said so."

Jiang Chen intentionally raised the tone of the word "mentor", and it was only the word "mentor" that suddenly gave Jiang Chen more courage.

He became more determined: "Among you, is there anyone who wants to disappoint my mentor? Who is there?"

All of a sudden, those people who were about to move lowered their heads.

In the eyes of the miners, Jiang Chen's benefactor is their benefactor. Without benefactor, they would be dead in all likelihood.

In the eyes of some students who came with Xishan Academy, Jiang Chen's mentor is their teacher, who dares to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor?

The roaring miner had no blood on his face, he suddenly covered his face and cried: "There are no ore veins here, we have searched every mountain, they are all stones, and there are worthless stones everywhere. "

Jiang Chen said sharply: "Then look for it again, even if it's in the crevices of the rocks, we have to find it!"

...

Deng Jian thought of his young master.

The farther he was from the young master, the more he forgot about the bad attitude of the young master towards him, and more of it was the feeling of peace of mind that he was with the young master.

Looking at the vast mountains...he had a feeling of wanting to die.

But he still cheered up, yes... to find out.

Early the next morning, as usual, he carried a bucket to fetch water from a nearby lake.

This lake may be the product of the Yellow River rushing into the mountain stream when it flooded in the past, or it was created because of the terrain.

As usual, Deng Jian rolled up his trousers when he reached the lake. He thought to himself, he admires Jiang Chen, why is he so loyal to the young master? He didn't grow up eating Fang's rice, but I, Deng Jian, are different. My grandfather ate rice from Fang's family, and so did my father. When it comes to me, even if I have a baby in the future, I will still eat rice from Fang's family.

Thinking about it this way, Deng Jian felt very ashamed, shameful, I am not as good as him, okay, next time someone dares to say back, I will press my sword and ask who dares.

When he reached the edge of the lake, Deng Jian carried a bucket. The water by the river was quite turbid, so he had to take off his boots, and walked slowly into the lake with contentment. He carried the bucket and walked barefoot into the bitter lake, one step He fell into the mud step by step, then moved forward slowly, and walked a few feet. The lake water was almost up to his knees. He was just about to pick up the bucket to scoop water. Let him float in the lake, bend over, and hold some water to wash his face.

But when he bent down, suddenly, his body shook.

Beneath the knee-high lake bed, mixed in with the silt, there seemed to be something...

Like sand, but not like...

Deng Jian lost his mind, so he rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his arms, and grabbed a handful of mud from the bottom of the lake.

There was a thing the size of a grain of rice in the mud, which suddenly caught Deng Jian's hand. Deng Jian couldn't help grinning and screaming. When he slowly wiped away the mud on the hard object, an orange-yellow thing the size of a grain of rice appeared. , appeared in Deng Jian's eyes...

This is……

Deng Jian stayed for a while...

He no longer cared about the piercing lake water.

He carefully observed the thing the size of a grain of rice, and in the end, he was almost sure...it was...gold.

Gold... is sand!

Deng Jian's head was about to explode, there was actually gold sand in the lake.

He frantically rummaged in the lake, and after a while, he found another one, which was bigger and irregular in shape, his pupils opened, and then, ignoring the bucket, he crazily climbed ashore.

Found...gold...

Here... there is gold.

You must know that in this era, most of the gold mines or the rivers and lakes where gold can be panned are basically panned for gold from ancient times to the present. After so many years of panning, the output of this gold has long been low.

But here... there are so many golden sands here, and here, for tens of thousands of years, no one has discovered the great value of this lake.

And this is a lake, perhaps it used to be a river, and finally formed a lake due to changes in the terrain, and it contains so much gold sand, so it is very likely that there must be a golden vein upstream.

Deng Jian seemed to be insane, holding Jinsha tightly to the camp, in the camp, except for those who stayed behind, the rest of the people had long since disappeared.

Deng Jian yelled frantically: "Hurry up, raise the smoke, hurry up, call back all the people nearby, I found it, I found gold, haha... it's gold!"

All of a sudden, several people who stayed here to cook and cook came up one after another. People surrounded Deng Jian. Deng Jian proudly showed the golden sands in his palm, and the two golden sands were exposed in front of everyone.

Make a fortune!

People cheered and jumped up.

Gold, where can I find any gold mines in this pass right now, even if there are, after years of mining, the output is almost shockingly low.

…………

besides.
