Pick up treasure

Entering the village soon, there is a stream in front of the village. The water in the stream is not rushing, and even small fish swimming in the stream can be clearly seen.

Very cute.

Wang Ding was attracted by the scenery in front of him. Compared with the small mound, the stream brought him a kind of warmth, because his climbing hands were dirty, so Wang Ding approached the stream, ready to wash his hands in the stream.

As soon as he walked into the stream, Wang Ding heard the sound of several children playing not far away. The sound was clearly the voice of a child about ten years old. After a while, the child came into Wang Ding's sight.There were five of them in total, a little boy at the back threw a stone at him, maybe he hit the little boy in front, but the stone was thrown right beside Wang Ding.

Stretching down to pick up the stone, Wang Ding felt a faint spiritual energy in it.

Taking a closer look at the stone in his hand, the surface of this stone was rough and a bit thorny, but Wang Ding spread his hand and looked at it, he was very surprised, this is actually a piece of malachite with mottled particles?

Malachite is named for its color resembling the feathers of male peacocks. It is also called stone green or Qinglangxuan. This kind of stone has a large output and is not very valuable in itself. Arriving at it means that there is a high possibility of finding copper mines nearby!

Wang Ding came here this time to find the treasure, no, he came to find Sally, and Sally was looking for the treasure in Miyun.Or, this copper mine is the treasure that Sally is looking for.

Now that he recognized this stone, Wang Ding realized the importance of this discovery.

At this time, the little boy who threw the stone ran over, perhaps a little scared, he looked at Wang Ding, and then timidly said: "Uncle, can you give me back the stone?"

Wang Ding weighed the piece of malachite and said with a smile: "You can return it to you, but you have to show me the stones in your hand, and tell me where these stones come from."

Wang Ding saw it at once.This little boy still has many such stones in his hands, and he is not the only one, these children all hold such stones in their hands.

When Wang Ding asked, the children looked at each other, handed seven or eight stones to the little boy's hand in a second, and handed them to Wang Ding. "for you!"

Wang Ding took the stone and took a look, except for another piece of malachite.The rest were all azurite, a copper-rich ore that oxidizes when exposed to air.The surface layer turned blue and blue, with natural and beautiful lines, which attracted these playing children to pick them up as treasures.

A little girl pleaded in panic: "Uncle, can you keep this matter a secret? You Qi, You Qi can't tell the village chief. The village chief said this stone is poisonous."

Can't tell the village head that this is the first time Wang Ding heard the name of the village head?It seems that the village head has quite a lot of influence in Taohua Village.But after thinking about it for a while, Wang Ding came to some understanding. Maybe it wasn't because the children were afraid of the village head, but because the village head told them that copper ore was often poisonous and not suitable for children to play with. The village head managed the village.The children must have been warned not to play with these things, lest they be left in the vegetable patch or the well and cause pollution.

Once the pollution is caused, the village head will ask the children to settle the score, and the parents of the children will have to lose money or something.

"Do you know what this stone is?" Wang Ding asked the children.

The little boy shook his head, and the other children expressed that they didn't know what it was.

"Uncle, I don't need these stones anymore, but please keep it a secret for us, please. The village chief must not let this matter know. He told us that we must not play with these stones again."

Seeing the innocent expressions of the children, Wang Ding really didn't want to tell them that the village head's idea was not so simple, if the children knew what malachite was.They will also be taken aback by what they find.

But how can they know what it means to see malachite here!

You must know that this is a paradise isolated from the world, and there are few modern things, so the identity of these malachites can definitely not be foreign, so there must be unknown copper mines nearby!

Wang Ding stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point. "Kids, I can keep it a secret for you, but you have to tell me where you found these stones? Take me to find some, too?"

Wang Ding asked.The children showed embarrassment, and a girl said: "It's very far away, and it takes a long time to walk."

The little boy suddenly said: "The village head said that this stone is poisonous, so we are not allowed to tell outsiders, nor are we allowed to go."

Outside the little boy's row, the other children also showed firm eyes, expressing their unwillingness to lead the way.

About this stone is poisonous?Wang Ding smiled lightly.

"It's poisonous." Wang Ding nodded, spread the stone out of his hands, and turned to the other children, "I can keep this matter a secret for you. If you have nothing to do, go home. As for you."

Wang Ding fell in love with the little boy who took the lead, "But you have to help me with some work, or I will tell the village chief."

The little boy begged quickly and sincerely expressed that he could do as much work as he wanted, but he just couldn't tell the adults.

After successfully catching the young man, Wang Ding marched towards another mountain under the leadership of the little boy!

Children in the mountains have strong feet. They say that it is far away, so this journey will never be close.

After walking for a while, the little boy's physical strength couldn't keep up. Wang Ding was already prepared to carry him on his back and move on.

It can be said that the road has gone through mountains and rivers, and there are no traces of people. Wang Ding reckons that it is not uncommon to see wild animals such as wolves or bears here.

Finally arrived at the destination. This is a mountain depression. One of the mountains has a landslide without area, exposing the rock under the surface soil more than two meters thick. The exposed rock is about 20 meters long and three to four meters high. The upper part is a mottled light cyan blue, which is the color of copper after oxidation.

There is no doubt that this is an exposed copper mine.

Walking closer, it can be seen that this piece of rock has not been exposed for too long, and the nearby vegetation still retains the appearance before the landslide. Wang Ding thought for a while and asked the little boy: "By the way, have you Tell me what's your name?"

"My name is Xiaohu." After being carried so far by Wang Ding, the little boy said embarrassedly.

"Then Xiaohu, has there been an earthquake in your village in recent years?"

Xiaohu recalled it, nodded immediately, counted with his fingers, and said: "I was shocked when I was six years old, and I am nine years old this year, it should be three years ago! The pigsty at the school was collapsed at that time, and there is still a lot of damage." Broke the front leg of a pig."

In other words, the shock is not serious.Wang Ding nodded slightly. It seems that this hillside landslide at that time. Three years is not a long time for this isolated village. It is estimated that the news has not leaked out.

I think other villages have changed a lot in the past few years, but this Taohua Village has not changed. This must have a lot to do with the village chief. He deliberately blocked the information, right?
