In addition to those who are directly subordinate to the Jade Prince, there are also a large number of people living around the Kunlun Mountains who will go deep into the Kunlun Mountains to pick jade and then sell it to the Jade Prince. However, they are not professional jade pickers, they just collect the jade.
Think of it as a way to make extra money.
Naturally, Young Master Tang and others did not have to crowd into the big truck with them. They were still riding in the jeep they came in, and Li Gensheng was still driving.
About an hour after the car started driving, everyone got out of the car. If you go further, you will enter the mountain. The car can't drive up anymore. You have to walk the rest of the way. This is a transfer station.
There are many people living in it, and it is considered the base camp of the mine protection team. There are many mules and horses in it, which are specially used to transport supplies to the mountain.
After getting off the car, Young Master Tang and others followed closely the large group of troops and walked gradually along the winding mountain road. One section was quite dangerous, with a mountain wall on one side and a thousand-foot cliff on the other side. The road below was very narrow and difficult to walk on.
Be very cautious when doing so.
Young Master Tang held Tang Ruyan and Zheng Yating tightly with both hands, one after the other, and slowly moved forward. Wang Jun was also very nervous. Everyone here is the same. If one accidentally falls, everyone will fall.
die……
The tense mountain road was about 500 meters long, but Young Master Tang and the others walked for more than half an hour...
After passing this section of the road, there was a mining site of Lord Jade, where mining workers and guards lived. In the distance, Young Master Tang heard the roar of machines.
"Prince Jade, how did you transport such a big machine?" Young Master Tang stared dumbfounded at the mining machine in front of him.
"Haha, this kind of machine is specially customized. It looks very big, but it can be disassembled. We disassemble it into parts and then transport them up bit by bit on pack horses." Lord Jade said with a smile.
"Awesome, it must have taken a lot of time and energy." Young Master Tang gave a thumbs up to Lord Jade.
"Haha, it's okay. We all will take a break here at noon. After eating, the jade pickers will set off from here." The Jade Prince said.
"Well, let's take a look around." Mr. Tang nodded.
"Okay, but don't run too far, it's still quite dangerous here." Lord Jade warned.
"Yes, I understand." Young Master Tang said.
"Forget it, I'm still worried, Ah Xing, come here." Lord Jade shook his head.
"What's the matter, boss?" Axing ran over from the crowd.
Young Master Tang recognized this guy at first glance as the guy who toasted to him last night and the night before, which triggered a series of events that followed...
"This is Mr. Tang, whom you know. You will take Mr. Tang and the others around for a while, but you must not take them to dangerous places. Nothing will happen." Lord Jade warned.
Ah Xing glanced at Young Master Tang and others, then nodded and said, "I understand, boss."
"Well, go ahead. I will arrange for someone to help you get your share of things." Jade Prince said.
Ah Xing is also a jade miner. If he is going to pick jade in the afternoon, some necessary tools are indispensable. Some long-term things are at this mining point, and some consumables are transported up by mules and horses. Every day
Everyone should prepare a luggage bag for themselves, which contains the things they need to survive during the jade mining process.
"Okay boss." Axing nodded towards Lord Jade.
After Prince Jade left, Young Master Tang looked at Ah Xing, his eyes sparkling with sparks...
"Uh, Mr. Tang, we meet again." Ah Xing said rather embarrassedly.
"Axing, yes, we met again. I finally remembered what you meant when you asked me to take care of myself. It was premeditated." Young Master Tang pretended to be cold.
Ah Xing thought that Young Master Tang was really angry, and couldn't help but said with embarrassment: "Just kidding, we just wanted to get you drunk, but you didn't know you were so good at drinking, and you still kept on holding on until the end, and the brothers couldn't be more angry...
"
"You just drank me down because you were so angry, didn't you? Pay attention next time. If I hadn't had a special constitution, so much liquor would have entered the stomach of an ordinary person, and I would definitely have to go to the hospital for gastric lavage." Young Master Tang deliberately said sternly.
He lectured with a serious face.
Ah Xing said obediently and quickly...
"Well, please take us around here first, and also introduce to us the area and how you jade pickers pick jade," said Young Master Tang.
"Okay, Mr. Tang, come with me. This place is called Longchou. The reason why it is called Longkou is because there is a river passing by, and in front of it is a large waterfall. There used to be many jade seeds nearby.
It’s just that over time, they have all been picked up, and very few remain, but lucky people can still find them around here.”
Young Master Tang nodded. There was indeed the sound of the roaring river nearby, but he was not sure where it was. After all, there were echoes everywhere in the mountains.
"Our boss's mine has been mined for three years, and it is considered a relatively large mine. However, I'm afraid it will be mined out in the near future. Last time I came here, I heard from the workers here that it can still be mined for about three or four months.
It’s completely exhausted.”
"By then, the Longkou Mine will probably be abandoned. We will have to find a new transfer point. Otherwise, we will have to prepare supplies at the foot of the mountain and then enter the mountain. However, the load will be farther away."
"Look at the waterfall I'm talking about in front of you. The water in this waterfall flows down after the ice and snow on the top of the mountain melt. In this mountainous area, there are many such waterfalls. Jade collectors like to see such waterfalls the most, because they usually
For example, you can often find jade seeds on both sides of the river below this kind of waterfall."
Young Master Tang looked in the direction pointed by A Xing. Sure enough, a waterfall was like a white canvas hanging in the mountain stream. A large amount of water rushed down, causing a huge noise.
"howl……"
Suddenly a roar appeared, which startled Mr. Tang and others. However, the sound seemed to be quite far away from them, but the echo from the mountain stream was louder.
"It's a wolf. Are there any wolves here?" Young Master Tang asked.
I just heard this sound two days ago, so Mr. Tang and others are all familiar with it.
"Of course, there are wolves, leopards, wild deer, wild horses, sheep, etc. here. It would be great if we could meet the sheep when we are picking jade. We can hunt all the time and have a warm barbecue.
, instead of chewing those very hard jerky and tasteless compressed biscuits." Axing said.
"Then if you encounter a wolf or a leopard, wouldn't it be very dangerous?" Wang Jun said.
"Of course, if we encounter a leopard, it's okay. We are all in a group. Four or five people together can defend themselves collectively if they encounter a leopard. But if we encounter a wolf, it will be difficult. Leopards often act alone, and
Wolves always appear in packs. Last year, a small group of people did not return on time. Later, someone saw them near Wild Horse Valley. They had all turned into incomplete bones. They encountered a pack of wolves. Five
Everyone is dead." Ah Xing felt a little sad when he talked about this...
Young Master Tang frowned when he heard this. Wolves, this is not a good thing. There are five, six, or more than a dozen of them when they appear. If there are no guns, being targeted by wolves in a place like this is simply a disaster.
In a desperate situation, death is almost certain.
Zheng Yating and Tang Ruyan suddenly grabbed Mr. Tang's arms and looked at him with worried faces...
Feeling the softness of his elbows touching the road, Young Master Tang felt warm in his heart. Of course, Young Master Tang understood what they meant. They were worried about what he would do if he encountered a pack of wolves after he went up the mountain...
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, A'hu is here. Have you forgotten what A'hu is holding? How did the one-eyed wolf escape last time?" Mr. Tang hugged the two girls and whispered softly.
comforted.
Axing on the side was originally a little embarrassed about the incident of irrigating Young Master Tang that day. Seeing this scene, he just thought that he should have irrigated him more that day...
When the two women heard this, they remembered that Ah Hu still had a big killer weapon on him. Then, looking at Ah Xing's weird eyes, they quickly pushed Young Master Tang away and lowered their heads, for fear of seeing their blushing faces...
Young Master Tang was almost frightened to death by this push. Just kidding, this is on a mountain, and there is a cliff next to it. Damn, if you push harder, you will be reimbursed...
Along the way, Young Master Tang's supernatural power has not stopped, and he has been constantly exploring deep below. Due to the influence of the mountain, Young Master Tang's supernatural power can only extend down to about fifteen meters.
This is indeed the birthplace of Hetian jade. Mr. Tang has detected some Hetian jade, but they are all scattered and of average quality. For Mr. Tang, there is basically no value in digging.
As for the jade vein he had been looking forward to, he didn't even see a shadow...
Following Ah Xing, we came all the way to a mountain stream. The river was gurgling. The water was not very deep and the flow was not very fast. However, looking at the surrounding environment, there were some broken trees and ruins. It was obvious that the place had been ravaged by floods.
"The river here is called Yuanshui River. The water comes from the waterfall we saw before. It is winding and winding. Flash floods occur here several times every year. At that time, it will be very dangerous. A large amount of river water is mixed with rocks, trees, etc.
When it comes down, the power is astonishing."
"However, this year's flash flood period has passed, and it is relatively safe here now. After a flash flood, jade seeds from the upstream are often brought downstream. If you come here at that time, you will be lucky enough to pick up jade seeds. Now we are collecting jade
They all go upstream, and the jade seeds in the lower reaches have been collected for a long time. Only when flash floods occur, some will be carried down, or some jade seeds that are relatively hidden and difficult to find will be seen by you." Ah Xing.
