The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 310 Farming and Mining

Gao Huaiyu's mood was like riding a roller coaster.

When I approached the cliff, I saw that there was a long ravine at the bottom of the cliff.

They couldn't see the bottom. The mountain on the other side of the cliff was much shorter than the mountain they climbed.

This cliff dozens of feet deep is terrifying.

Damn it, you want money rather than your life!

And is this native mentally ill? Climbing that short mountain in the first place would not be more labor-intensive than this?

After drawing a picture for Amanlin, the little translator came online: "Chief, how to get down from this cliff?"

"There is a cave behind the low hill opposite. We caught hares last time and got in through that hole. The hole is not big, so tall people like them can't get in."

What, the hole is too small?
What are their hoes and shovels for?
One person and one shovel can dig a hole through it!
Commander Gao, wave your hand, boys, dig holes for me!
Female Chief: If I don’t let you climb this high mountain, how can you know how difficult it is for us to find yellow bumps? !
There is gold in this hole, what more encouragement do you need?
This is bigger than a dog hole. How could General Gao and Uncle Zhongqin crawl in in front of the soldiers?

dig! Dig hard for me. The hole must be as high as a person!

More than a thousand people, divided into two shifts, were digging with torches at night.

"General, we found it!"

"General, there is gold!"

This is simply an unexpected surprise.

Before they even reached the ravine at the bottom of the cliff, they dug out a cave and dug out gold nuggets.

You really can’t waste a little bit of soil, just crush and sieve the excavated soil!
This kind of surprise made the soldiers numb as they dug more and more.

This, this is too much gold! You can see it everywhere, it’s a mess!
They didn't hate that digging holes was too tiring at all. They just hated that the cave was not too deep and they dug it through after only six days and five nights.

In addition to dirt, stones and gold nuggets, a dozen pythons were dug up.

The biggest one was bigger than their heads, which made all the old men scream.

No snake in Daxia is so big, it would scare a person to death.

The braver ones cut off the skin of the python and discussed how to eat the python meat.

Gao Huaiyu was afraid of nothing but molluscs like snakes.

Even though his face turned pale when he saw the python, he still held on, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates.

A Manlin, a kid, looked obsessed with pythons. Even if he caught one alive, he would pick up the snake's tail and spin it in circles.

"My mother, this little brother is so cruel!" Qin Ke was so impressed that he fell to the ground.

At most he dared to kill the snake with a sword, but he didn't dare to catch the snake. How about playing with it?
I have goosebumps all over my body, okay?
Hei Wa kept telling the soldiers digging the cave to be more careful. If they were bitten by a poisonous snake, they would die from the poison before they could get far out of the cave.

Shangguan's imperial physician is not here. You must cherish your own life!
Hei Wa's words reminded Gao Huaiyu, who asked his soldiers to return to the camp and called the Shangguan imperial doctor into the ravine.

The imperial doctor should be very fond of these poisons. With him here, the brothers can get timely relief if they have any shortcomings.

They did not enter the cave that was dug right away.

In the words of Uncle Zhongqin, it means giving the animals that hear the noise some time to escape, and try to avoid direct conflict with them.

After spending the night and having lunch the next day, they started exploring the cave.

Gao Huaiyu's soldiers were at the front holding torches. The cave was dark and everyone walked to the innermost entrance.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the sky, well, it's daytime.

Looking in front of me, I saw a ravine about ten meters wide, with overgrown weeds and many small trees.

The cliff just blocked the sunlight at the bottom of the ditch, making the ditch look particularly dark. Perhaps many years ago, this long ditch was a stream, winding under the cliff and nurturing this land.

"Get rid of these weeds and trees first. Everyone, be careful. Pay attention to whether there are any snakes or other poisonous things in the grass. Watch out if you get bitten!"

"I know, General, don't worry!"

"Oh, this piece of gold is so big!" Just as he started to clean it up, a soldier's shovel scooped up a gold lump the size of a human head.

"Oh my god, is there gold everywhere? Hurry, hurry, brothers, don't let go of every inch of the land!"

"Damn it, we've never seen so much gold in this life!"

"Be careful, be careful, brothers, I saw the snake's tail, tsk tsk, this one is as big as its head!"

"This big guy doesn't give us brothers face. We've given him one night to escape, but he still doesn't run away!"

"Most of the big pythons are not poisonous. You should be careful of the small ones with bright patterns. Don't underestimate the big ants, spiders and wasps. They are no less poisonous than venomous snakes."

Hei Wa warned again and again.

The soldiers who were overly excited finally calmed down.

Yes, no one has been here in this deep ditch for who knows how many years. There must be a lot of poison hidden in it.

Instead of digging around without any rules, we discussed it for a long time.

First, dozens of people came with long branches to scare the snakes away.

The rustling sound of the tangled grass and jungle made everyone behind them break out in a cold sweat.

The brothers in the front kept beating the grass, and a wave in the middle started to pull the grass.

There are those who use hoes to pluck, and those who use knives to cut. There are also a variety of tools.

The last wave is only responsible for digging deep into the soil. Six out of ten hoes can dig out gold nuggets of varying sizes.

How can digging a hole be so exciting? Moreover, in this long trench, the golden bumps are obviously bigger.

"Uncle, let's not bring in more people, it's obviously not enough!"

After confirming that there were many golden bumps in the ditch, Gao Huaiyu felt excited.

He wished he could drive his ship to the entrance of the cave, dig it out and send it to the ship!

Hei Wa thought for a while and nodded: "I think it's feasible, but if there are too many people in this ditch, I'm afraid it won't be able to be used. We still have to explore the gold content in the mountains on both sides of the ditch.

It's good to take turns working like this now, and another group will hunt, pick, cook, and be on guard at the same time.

The brothers are doing hard work, so they have to eat meat every time! "

How could Gao Huaiyu disagree? This arrangement is very reasonable.

"My uncle is still thoughtful. I will make arrangements now and call in another three thousand people!"

Hei Wa then arranged:

"Brothers from the river bank can withdraw here and leave a few to occasionally see how those sweet potatoes are growing!

If they grow well, plant some more. It’s hot here and they should ripen quickly! We might as well plant all the riverbanks! "

Gao Huaiyu patted his head in confusion:
"Hey, we have this big golden nugget, who cares about that gadget? I will send someone back tomorrow to send a message! Uncle, you really care about those sweet potatoes, don't worry, don't worry, plant, plant, plant!"

Hei Wa glared at him:
"General, doesn't it take time to dig for gold? The longer we stay, the more food and grass we will consume? If we don't grow some sweet potatoes to fill the gap in staple food, where will we go to supply supplies?"

"Hey, I forgot about this. If you don't dig out all the gold here, none of you would be willing to leave. Uncle, you are so considerate of Zhou Xiang, so Zhou Xiang!"
