Pick up treasure

Since Wang Ding's team has to go deep into the interior of Kun#lun Mountains, there is snow in the mountains, so even in September, they still have to bring thick cotton clothes. Wang Ding is not wrong at all, you know, in Kun#lun Mountains all year round There are many snow-covered peaks.So, when he said this, Shitou and Shuaizi didn't think he didn't know anything.

"Hehe, brother Wang Ding knows a lot. Don't you think that brother Wang Ding doesn't understand anything. I forgot to tell you that he is still a good jade appreciator. Yesterday he helped Uncle Zhang Appreciating a piece of green and white jade, he agrees with Mr. Zhuang, and the technique is very powerful!"

Zhao Xiaohu forgot to introduce these when he got in the car, but when he said that, Brother Shitou and Shuaizi were both surprised.

But Wang Ding said modestly, "It's not that powerful, it's just average."

Zhao Xiaohu's praise did not expand this time, seeing Wang Ding being so suppressed, Zhao Xiaohu didn't say anything more.

The car continued to move forward. On the way to the mountains, Wang Ding began to observe the environment.

Wang Ding found that the road was full of trees, but the trees he saw were all short bushes, and there were no tall broad-leaved trees like those in the south. Just now on a mountainside, he saw a herd of wild donkeys. The roar of the truck driving over caused the herd of wild donkeys to disperse.

The truck drove for another three hours on the road around the mountain.Above the peaks towering like clouds in the distance.You can clearly see the white snow.

According to Zhao Xiaohu, the altitude here is already over 3000 meters, and most people will have a little bit of altitude sickness, but Wang Ding, who is assisted by the jade brand aura, doesn't feel uncomfortable.

"Brother Ding, we're almost there. Have you seen the mountain pass ahead? It's the transit point for entering the mountain."

"I saw it."

Zhao Xiaohu and the others have been here several times.I have been used to it for a long time, and I was afraid that Wang Ding would feel bored, so I started chatting with him.

Wang Ding can clearly see the station entrance in the distance, and with the perspective eye, Wang Ding can see the distant scenery at a glance.

Ahead, the car will pass the Lakun #lun mountain pass, and then across a flowing stream, the stream is singing music, very gurgling and beautiful, at the other end of the stream, Wang Ding can clearly see a mountain peak appearing in front of him.

It's just that after getting out of the car, Kun#lun Mountain gave Wang Ding a feeling that it was not so beautiful.

The place where you get off is a transfer station. Whether it is a person who goes into the mountain to pick jade or a worker who goes to a mine in the mountain, he has to stop here for a while. In this open area of ​​thousands of square meters, there are plastics everywhere. Bags and other dirty garbage, and there is a musty smell that makes people sick.

It is said to be a transfer station, but it is a small two-story building, but there is a cabin in the small building that is closed.Only one window is open to the outside world.

Naturally, Wang Ding and his team were not the only ones entering the mountain. Three trucks had been parked in front of the small building at the transfer station. After a while, he realized that out of the 100 people standing beside him, he was the only one left, and even Zhao Xiaohu didn't know where he had gone.

Looking at the dark crowd, Wang Ding was not interested in squeezing in, but after about four or five minutes, the crowd dispersed a bit, and then Wang Ding saw Zhao Xiaohu walking away with two enamel jars in his hand. come over.At this moment, Wang Ding finally understood. It turns out that this place is a transit place to eat, and the rubbish should be left by people before entering the mountain, and Zhao Xiaohu just went to get a meal!

"Brother Ding, let's eat. This is the last hot meal in the mountains. There are many restrictions on making a fire in the mountains. Most of the time, you can only eat the food we brought, so fill your stomach first."

"Thank you, what about yours?"

"I still have more, you eat first!"

Zhao Xiaohu said, and handed Wang Ding an enamel jar in his hand. There was rice in it, and it was served with Artemisia annua bacon. It looked pretty good.It has been five or six hours since the morning, and Wang Ding is also very hungry, so he started to eat after taking it.

The process of eating was very fast, and more than a hundred people ate up their meals in a short time, and those used bags, instant noodle bags, and plastic bags were thrown all over the floor.

Wang Ding originally wanted to change this situation, but Zhao Xiaohu sighed helplessly. Before entering the mountain, everyone trained in an orderly manner, but it was not like that after going out. Many times, he couldn't change it.

"Let's go, Brother Ding."

"Well, let's go!"

After dinner, the various jade-picking teams formed together and headed into the mountain. Some teams only consisted of two people. Wang Ding knew that they were all experienced jade-pickers. They were unwilling to team up with those novices. The most important thing is to share the jade they picked. This kind of combination is usually friends for many years or relatives.

"Brother Ding, in fact, Uncle Zhang asked me to take you to the jade mine first, and then we will go to the mountains to pick jade. What do you think?"

In fact, Zhao Xiaohu had already made the arrangement, and Shitou and Shuaizi naturally couldn't disagree, and Wang Ding was even more polite.

"Xiaohu, you can make arrangements, and I will follow along."

"Then let's go, there are a few camels ahead, Brother Ding, if you are tired, you can ride one."

"Need not."

Following the direction of Zhao Xiaohu's finger, Wang Ding certainly saw a few camels, but so many people didn't ride them, how could he have any privileges.

Seeing Wang Ding smiling and saying no, Zhao Xiaohu greeted Shitou and others, and followed the workers entering the mine.Several people went to the mountain.

The transfer station is still more than ten kilometers away from the mining area. When there are few people, you can ride a Luo to station there.But today is obviously not possible, there are many people and few camels.Moreover, the camel has to transport production and living materials.The miners had to walk on two legs, and it was wise for Wang Ding not to ride.

If it is on flat ground, a road of more than ten kilometers is nothing to anyone, but it is different on a mountain with an altitude of 4000 meters. The severe hypoxia makes people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially at night. New workers with no experience , The headache seemed to be wearing a magic spell, and every step I took, my heart beat, panting, and my legs trembled.

At the front were a few camels carrying supplies, and the workers followed closely behind. Although they were not very used to it, they were all gritting their teeth and persevering.

Wang Ding felt fine, but the small backpack on his body was obviously much heavier than before.Looking at the old pig in front of him who was busy on his way, Wang Ding couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

It seems that going into the mountains is really not that pleasant! (To be continued.)
