There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Daohua carefully looked at the four people who were crushed on the ground and were all wet, her eyes wandered around, and finally landed on the one on the farthest side, she asked in surprise, "Why are you?"

Hearing this, the four arrested people, Xiao Yeyang and others all looked at Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang said in surprise: "Why, do you know these people?"

Daohua pointed to the one on the side and said, "Do you remember? When I jumped into the river to save Master and Granny Gu in the last Jiguang flood, someone helped me, that's him."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Changze, who was being held by the guards and was quickly thinking about how to save himself, suddenly lit up, and quickly raised his eyes to look at Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Sun Changze and nodded: "That's what happened." But he didn't remember it.

Daohua said to the prisoner's guard, "Let go of them first, and I'll ask you something."

The guard didn't move, looked at Xiao Yeyang, and only let go after seeing Xiao Yeyang nod.

Sun Changze straightened up, looked at Daohua, then looked at Xiao Yeyang, and the guards surrounding them, knowing that this time they encountered someone who was difficult to provoke.

Daohua looked at Sun Changze and asked, "Why are you here?"

Sun Changze looked a little hesitant, and didn't want to talk about the gold mine.

After being silent for a while, the guard behind him gave him a kick, kicked him to the ground, and said sternly: "What about you, answer well!"

Daohua hurriedly stopped: "Don't do it! If you beat people like this, how can I ask questions?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yeyang glanced at the guard who had just started.

The guard immediately lowered his head.

Sun Changze straightened up again, looked at Daohua, and knew that if they wanted to survive, they would have to rely on the little brother in front of them: "We are here to pan for gold."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions moved.

Daohua raised her eyebrows: "How do you know there is gold here?"

Sun Changze didn't hesitate this time: "This year, last year, and the year before last, I have scouted for golden sands in the lower reaches of the river. I heard the old man in the village say that there may be gold deposits at the source of some rivers, and that's how I came here. of."

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "You dare to fight the idea of ​​gold mine?"

Sun Changze shook his head again and again: "We don't want much, we just want to buy some and go back to improve our lives."

Xiao Yeyang didn't believe this at all, people's desires are endless: "If you really want to find a gold mine, how can you stop it?"

Sun Changze was silent for a while: "I'm not an ignorant person, I know that mining gold without permission is a serious crime, and I have two thoughts to find it here. If the gold sand we find is less, we will use it ourselves, and if there is more, we will report it. The imperial court may even be rewarded."

Daohua: "Then have you found it?"

Sun Changze shook his head: "This valley is too big, we are only here for the third time today, and we haven't found it yet."

Daohua asked again: "Did you come to find it yourself, or were you entrusted by others to find it?"

Sun Changze hurriedly said: "We came by ourselves. It's too late to hide this kind of thing. How can we tell others."

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang: "What do you want to say?"

Daohua pulled Xiao Yeyang aside and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do with those people?"

Xiao Yeyang: "I have to escort them back to interrogate them before I know." As he said that, he looked at Daohua with a smile, "Why, do you want me to let them go?"

Daohua shook his head: "I don't know what the details of these people are, how can you let them go without authorization? However, that person has helped me, if, I mean, if there are no other forces behind them, It won't hinder you, it's just ordinary people, do you think you can let them go?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, but not until the gold mine is found." The news that there may be a gold mine in the low mountains, rivers and valleys must not be leaked at this time.

Daohua smiled and said: "You can do it, just don't delay your business." After saying that, she looked at the sky, "We've all come here, and now it's still a while before it gets dark, let's continue to explore ?"

Xiao Yeyang also wanted to find the gold mine earlier, so he nodded in agreement.

Daohua pointed to the four of Sun Changze: "Let them change their wet clothes."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the guard, and the guard immediately threw the dry clothes of the four Sun Changze to them, and took them to the next big tree to change clothes.

Xiao Yeyang and others took the first step. The mountain road was difficult to walk. Xiao Yeyang directly held Daohua's hand and was about to pull her away, but as soon as he held her hand, he felt extremely cold and frowned. Then he twisted up: "Why is it so cold?"

Daohua rubbed her hands: "The temperature in the mountains is lower than outside."

Xiao Yeyang hurriedly took off the indigo half-sleeved open-breasted crane cloak on his body and put it directly on Daohua.

Daohua quickly retreated: "I'm not cold, you still have injuries, don't catch a cold anymore."

Xiao Yeyang ignored it, forced Daohua to put it on, and said in a low voice, "You are from a girl's family, and your body is no better than a man's, so how can you catch a cold? I know my body well, and I won't catch a cold. If you don't believe me, touch my hand. , isn't it warm?"

Daohua couldn't compete with Xiao Yeyang, and it was not easy to compete with him in front of such a person, so she could only put on her clothes.

After wearing it, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua's hand and said, "Let's go, if you keep dawdling, it will be dark."

The group quickly walked towards the upper reaches of the river valley.

There are many turns and forks in the river valley. On the road, Daohua carefully sensed the breath of grass and trees in the air, and from time to time asked Xiao Yeyang to move in the direction she pointed.

As they continued to advance, the guards were surprised to find that more and more wattles were seen on the road.

When the sky was getting dark, Xiao Yeyang and others came to a river bank covered with wattle grass.

Defu exclaimed: "My darling, we wandered around during this time, but we didn't realize that there was such a place hidden in the valley."

Sun Changze was also surprised. He had been to this valley several times, but he had never come here before. After a quick thought in his heart, he took the initiative to say to Xiao Yeyang and Daohua: "We are willing to go down the river to give You pan for gold, if you find a gold mine, can you let us live?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at him and did not answer immediately.

Daohua didn't make a sound when she saw that he didn't speak.

Sun Changze added: "The four of us grew up by the water, and the water is very good. If we didn't find anything at the bottom of the water, it would be even more impossible for others."

Xiao Yeyang still didn't respond, glanced at the vigorous wattle grass on the river bank, and already had a guess in his heart, looking at this endless river valley, thinking that it would be good to have more salvage personnel, he said: "You guys Let's go down to the river and see."

Sun Changze looked overjoyed, hurriedly greeted the other three, took off his coat, and jumped into the river with a thud.

Xiao Yeyang watched Daohua stretch his neck and look into the river, and wanted to lean towards the river bank, so he quickly grabbed the person: "Stop, if you fall into the river in the winter, you will be offended. ."

Daohua had no choice but to look at the river from a distance.

Soon, Sun Changze emerged from the water, excitedly carried a lump of river mud wrapped in clothes onto the shore, then fell directly to the ground, and quickly flattened the river mud. After a while, there was golden color in the mud. Glossy flashes.

Daohua was instantly overjoyed: "Xiao Yeyang, look, there is really gold."

Xiao Yeyang also looked a little excited, and quickly ordered a few guards: "You guys also go down."

The guard who was ordered did not say a word, took off his coat, and jumped into the river.

"Master, there is golden sand here."

"I have it here too."

Seeing that the guards found gold in several directions in the river, Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Daohua: "You really are a lucky star."

They've been looking for a gold mine for so long, and this guy found it as soon as he came.

Daohua raised her chin and said with a sullen smile, "That's it. Are you going to write a letter to the emperor?"

Xiao Yeyang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "You have to notify Master Wu first."

Daohua looked worried: "Will he take our credit?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed: "With me here, are you still afraid that others will take your credit?"

Daohua thought about it too, relieved: "Then you should inform him quickly."

Xiao Yeyang immediately summoned a guard, ordered him a few words, and let him leave, then looked at the sky, and said to Daohua: "We have to wait here for a while, and when Master Wu comes, I will bring You go back."

Daohua nodded and looked around, because the sky was already dark, and he couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly. After thinking about it, he said, "Take me here tomorrow to have a look."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "What else do you want to see?"

Daohua was silent for a while: "I won't tell you before I confirm it." Most places where placer gold deposits are formed will have rock gold deposits.
