Chapter 122 Discovery of Gold Mine
The entrance to the cave is about 60 centimeters wide. Going down along the entrance, it is more than five meters deep. Judging from the marks on the cave wall, there must have been people coming in and out frequently in the past.
After going down vertically to the bottom of the cave, there is a long cave.
At the beginning, the cave is less than one meter high. A distance further ahead, the cave is about one person high and two people wide. As long as the person is not too tall, he can walk upright.
But someone as tall as Xia Yu would have to lower his head and bend down.
Honeysuckle's supernatural power continued to move forward along the cave, and finally reached a distance that the supernatural power could not detect.
You have to know that her current supernatural power can detect a distance of more than 200 meters. How far is this cave dug?
Honeysuckle became even more curious about where the end of the cave would lead to, so she kept moving forward along the cave. The further she walked, the more frightened she became.
What did she see? In addition to the ordinary cave at the beginning, going further in, it is obviously a mine that has been mined. Judging from the initial traces, this mine has existed for a long time, probably for several decades.
From time to time, you can see small pieces of minerals scattered on the ground. Honeysuckle collected a few pieces and could see the golden particles mixed in them when facing the sunlight.
Is this gold? Hua Jindong couldn't imagine that this mountain was actually a gold mine. Not only had someone been illegally mining here for many years, but he didn't know how much gold had been stolen.
It seems that this is the suspicious point that I want to find.
They continued to walk forward along the mine tunnel for more than two hours. When they stopped again, Hua Jindong looked around blankly. She didn't know where she was, but she was definitely deep in the mountains.
The mountain behind the Taohuawan Brigade is surrounded by mountains and stretches for dozens of kilometers. Even the best hunters in the past only walked around the outskirts of the mountain. Only during the slack season when groups were organized to go hunting in the mountains would they go farther.
At this time, there are less than 200 meters to the end of the cave on the cliff.
Dozens of people are hammering the mined stones here, while people in the shed are extracting the gold ore.
Hua Honeysuckle also saw dozens of large baskets piled up nearby, which should be filled with extracted gold.
Hua Honeysuckle wanted to put away all those big baskets, but when she thought about how these people had been illegally prospecting here for many years and how much gold they had stolen, she decided to retreat quietly in order to prevent the country's resources from being embezzled by these people.
He planned to tell Xia Yu about his discovery here and ask him to bring people over to catch these people in one fell swoop.
She has plenty of gold in her space, and maybe she will get more in the future, but she cannot let go of any pests that harm the national interests.
Hua Honeysuckle didn't know where he was, so he could only grope his way back along the mine.
He released his supernatural powers from time to time and discovered that in addition to the mines that had been mined, the gold content in this mountain was far more than that.
If she reported this, the country might really turn this place into a gold mine for mining.
When we returned to the brigade, it was already past noon and the educated youth who had finished their meal were coming out of the educated youth site one after another.
Until the end, Hua Rendong saw Yue Zhiqing, who was in the same team with Xia Yu, again. This time, Yue Zhiqing was holding a large bundle of noodles in his arms and a piece of bacon in his hand. The smile on his face was as bright as the sunshine in June.
"Don't worry, Xia Zhiqing. I will take care of all the work you have to do. When the grain is distributed in autumn, I will never let you get less grain than others."
Xia Yu was very satisfied. "Then I'll have to trouble Yue Zhiqing. Next time, tell me what you want to eat and I'll see if I can get it for you."
Yue Zhiqing's eyes turned when he heard this. "I want to try what malted milk tastes like. Xia Zhiqing, can you get me a can? For one can, I'll pay for half a month's work."
Xia Yu said it was no problem, he didn't want to take advantage of Yue Zhiqing, "Okay, next time I'll get you two cans to try."
Yue Zhiqing left contentedly. When passing by Hua Jindong, he showed her his big white teeth and said, "Comrade Hua is back!"
"Well, you're back!" Hua Honeysuckle also greeted her. Seeing her jumping away, it was obvious that she was in a really good mood.
After everyone had left, Hua Rendong told Xia Yu about what she had discovered on the mountain. Xia Yu suddenly realized, "No wonder there was a radio station there. It seems they were calling people to pick up the goods."
Hua Honeysuckle thought so too. "I see that there is a lot of gold stored in the valley. I'm afraid someone will come to pick it up soon. Do you think we should find someone to ambush us as soon as possible?"
Xia Yu asked in detail about the number of people in the valley, and finally decided to wait until Sui Yong came over in the evening, and then they would go over with Hua Rendong to take a look and then make the next plan.
But before going, you must inform Director Fang first and ask him to select some trustworthy people to send over and be ready to provide support at any time.
Hua Rendong said, "To be able to make such a big noise in the mountains and not be discovered for so many years, it must not be done by those few people. Maybe they have people above, or even the entire gold mine is the work of people above. If we ask Director Fang to send someone, we may alert the enemy."
Xia Yu asked: "Do you mean to arrest those people and interrogate them first?"
Hua Rendong nodded, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, our department also has some people in Xinshi, we will do this ourselves, and notify Director Fang after we catch the person."
Xia Yu rode Hua Rendong's bike to go to the city to make a phone call. Hua Rendong wanted to see if the person he contacted was the "old aunt" she had asked him to contact before.
So, the team members who went to work saw Xia Yu riding Hua Honeysuckle's women's bicycle, with Hua Honeysuckle on the back, and rushed out of the Taohuawan Brigade like flying.
Someone asked Zhang Yun, "What's going on between Lai Cai's niece Lai Ying and that educated youth? The whole village is gossiping about them."
Zhang Yun curled his lips in disdain. "Who would know? We are always together, eating and living together, and we rarely go home. How would I know what's going on?"
"What? You're living together? You haven't even got the marriage certificate yet? Isn't that just exile?"
Someone nearby immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. I heard that Erhua went to work in the countryside, and it was not good for her to always live in her relatives' house, so she cleaned up a room for herself in the educated youth camp. She and that educated youth Xia just lived in the same educated youth camp. How could it be like what Lai Cai's family said?"
"That's right, Lai Cai's family, you are relatives after all. You ruined the girl's reputation with just one lip service. Is that how you do things?"
"It's all thanks to Erhua that she took care of the peach orchard for our village and got us strawberry and rice seedlings. How dare you ruin her reputation?"
Originally, someone was just gossiping with Zhang Yun, but unexpectedly a few words would cause public outrage. The person who spoke first quietly stepped aside, leaving Zhang Yun as the target of public criticism, making him so angry that he wanted to curse.
