21.
When he returned to the company, night had already fallen.
In the bamboo shed where I live, Shen Qiyou is playing chess with Qi Tong. Duan Ming was watching. When he saw me, he smiled."You're back? We thought you were missing."
"You're back," I said with a smile.
Shen Qiyou raised his head from the chessboard and looked at me suspiciously, then at the snakeskin bag in my hand. But he didn't say anything.
I casually threw the snakeskin bag under the bed and acted as if I didn't care. I wasn't sure if they knew I was going to Sabah; I'm not sure if they know what's in my pocket.
"General!" Qi Tong shouted," There's no solution." Shen Gong, I told you that you're no match for me. Now you know how powerful I am, right?”
Shen Qiyou took off his gold-rimmed glasses, rubbed his eyes, and wanted to play again.
"Get up if you lose. Da Bao, let's play another game." Qi Tong shouted.
I sat down on the wooden block and laid out the chess pieces.
Several people in the company liked to play chess. Our bamboo shed has a wooden chessboard and two wooden blocks of the same height. Many people came at night. Among them, the ones with the highest standards are Qi Tonggao and me, followed by Duan Ming.
I set up a cannon and a screen horse.
"Hey, you're playing the horse again!" Qi Tonggao said," Same old trick!"
"You're afraid of this, aren't you, Elder Qi?"
As I played chess, I glanced at the snakeskin bag under the bed from time to time.
I'm very good at playing chess. The more complicated the game, the more thoughtful I am and the more clever I am. Qi Tonggao soon fell into a deadlock. He buried his head in his thoughts and smoked one cigarette after another. He was too busy to talk.
When we play chess together, most of the others don't play; Shen Qiyou and Duan Ming only watched quietly. For a moment, there was only the sound of the mountain wind and the crisp sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard.
The battle had entered the final stage, and I clearly had the upper hand. Qi Tonggao only had Lone Horse and Old General. However, I'm not good at endgames. The fewer pieces I have, the more I won't play. Qi Tonggao was the best at the endgame. His Lonely Form flew around and blocked my Bottom-Cannon General. The lone horse jumped around shamelessly, tangling with him. If he was careless, he would kick both of his weapons. I lost a soldier, and then he ate a single soldier. In the end, he used his horse to control the path of our soldiers. The old general sat on the side, leaving me without the general's cannon carriage. It ended in a draw.
We played chess until 11 o'clock. I was afraid that it would disturb Guan Yunwu's sleep, so Qi Tonggao and Duan Ming left. I also went to bed to rest.
But I was awake and heard Guan Yunwu and Shen Qi's movements. Guan Yunwu was already snoring, but Shen Qiyou kept turning over and not falling asleep.
It was not until 12 o'clock that she heard Shen Qi snoring softly. I got up gently and found a snakeskin pocket under the bed. I placed the crystal under the blanket.
I went to bed and covered myself with the blanket. The crystal is cold and stinging; but I am happy and excited.
Ghost Crystal! This is the first time I've heard of such a name. Looks like I really found a treasure! More than 300,000! It meant I was rich; not a lot, but I was content. The key was whether what Zhao Yijing said was true, but it was most likely not wrong.
The next day, I got up before dawn and placed the crystal in the snakeskin bag. I quietly went down the mountain valley and arrived at the Black Pool.
The valley was shrouded in mist and fog. I was very happy. This created the conditions for me to hide the crystal. I carefully observed the few large banyan trees by the pond at the foot of the mountain. The coiled roots of the banyan tree extended into the water and intertwined with the uneven rocks, forming many holes. I fancy a hole under the biggest banyan tree; The hole was about 50 to 60 centimeters from the surface of the water, and a person had to climb down to reach it.
I climbed onto the stone surface and stuffed the snakeskin bag containing the crystal into the hole. He was very satisfied. This was an ideal hiding place that even gods could not find.
On the way back, they passed by the pond halfway up the mountain and bumped into Qi Tonggao and Xiao You who were washing up. Xiao You smiled at me without saying anything. "What are you doing down the mountain so early?" Qi Tonggao asked.”
"Nothing much. I'm just taking a walk!"
He stared at me left and right, as if he was trying to find a flaw. He smiled and said,"Da Bao, you've been appearing and disappearing like a ghost these past few days. Are you doing something bad?”
I smiled but didn't reply. I quickly left.
After breakfast, I went to the second tunnel alone.
Our funds are almost gone. Even Pit No. 3 had stopped, leaving only Pit No. 2. However, they would stop after a few more days. Everyone had given up hope and was ready to return to their hometown.
I went down the highway to Pit No. 2. The morning shift workers were removing the dregs. Two people pushed a small cart out. When I saw it, my eyes widened in shock. It was actually a car full of black and shiny lead and silver ore!
I was stunned for a moment before I came back to my senses and shouted,"Is it out of the mine?"
"It's out of the mine. I saw the mine after firing the cannons yesterday night. I didn't tell you guys about it in the middle of the night. Didn't Old Huang go to the company to report the good news this morning?”the worker said.
I didn't say anything more and hurried into the cave, anxious to see how big the vein was. In front of the support, there was a gold-plated ore body with a diameter of more than one meter clamped between the white horse tooth stones.
"Deputy mine manager, we've just seen the mine.”the worker said.
I picked up a piece of ore and looked at it. The rest of the company came in from outside the cave after hearing the news. Except for Guan Yunwu and Zhou Xingzong, who had returned to China to handle some matters, everyone was happy. The cave was filled with people's voices, and I could only feel my ears buzzing.
"Thank God, grandpa is farting! We've finally found a mine!" Luo Ruhui said," A national treasure is a national treasure. I've already said that Mr. Giant Panda has his ways!”
"Look at this mine, I bet there's a big mine behind it!”Zhu 'er said.
"Definitely. No one will bet with you.”Chen Peng said.
"This is great. You don't have to pack your things and go home.”Shen Qiyou smiled.
"Shen Gong, can you calculate how many ores you can produce in a day?”Qi Tonggao said.
"Ten tons should be paid. The delivery price was 1500 to 1800 per ton. He could earn about 20,000 yuan a day.”
"In that case, it will take at least three months to recover the cost?”I asked.
"The grade of this ore is high, so it's not suitable to sell it here. I advocate bringing it back to China. They should first send the samples to the country to determine the grade and silver content before deciding how to sell them!”Qi Tonggao said.
"Yes, we should test the taste first.”Shen Qiyou said.
A few days later, Zhu 'er brought the samples back to China for testing.
After seeing the mine, all the shareholders had smiles on their faces. They went to Pit No. 2 every day to take a look. I knew in my heart that I might have found Boss Zhao's mineral vein. However, he wondered if the mine was big enough to dig for three months.
Hopefully, the mine is large enough to offset our costs. However, whether or not it was a mine, I still had a spirit crystal. I'm planning to return to the country soon and put the crystal at home. I'll deal with it when I return to the country in the future. With this rock, I feel much more at ease. He would slowly accompany them.
During lunch, Zhu 'er, Zhou Xingzong, and Guan Yunwu returned in their 1041. But I didn't expect Bi Min to come back with them.
Guan Yunwu and Zhou Xingzong excitedly told everyone that they had rushed back because Zhu Er had told them over the phone that they had seen the mine. The result of the ore's appraisal in China was: The grade was very high, reaching 17.9, and the silver content was even higher, reaching 5.1. The domestic purchase price was no less than 2500 yuan per ton. This was great news. Everyone was jubilant and in high spirits, talking and laughing at the same time.
I had no heart to join them; I was in a mess. Why was she back? I thought I might never see her again in this life. I peeked at her and realized that she was looking at me too. She even smiled sweetly at me.
My heart warmed and I froze.
When I was in the bamboo shed at night, Bi Min walked in and smiled at me in front of Guan Yunwu."Da Bao, how have you been? You didn't expect me to come back, did you? Let's go out for a walk."
I was stunned. She stood in front of me with a smile, slim and elegant, looking at me affectionately.
"Why? Are you afraid to go or unwilling?”she said with a smile.
I followed her out of the bamboo shed; I couldn't refuse those eyes.
I followed behind her. The two of them walked slowly on the road.
"You, how have you been recently? Where did he go?" I asked.
"It's the same wherever you go. She smiled and said," I just want to ask you, do you miss me?”
I didn't know how to answer, and I was filled with grief and indignation. It could be said that there wasn't a day that I didn't think of her, but when I thought of her ruthlessness, I said,"It's the same whether you want it or not. You and I are already strangers! We're just going our separate ways."
"Da Bao, let me ask you a question. What do you think of me?"
"How do I look at you? What do you mean?"
"What kind of woman do you think I am?”
I smiled." Well, it's hard to say. However, I've always treated you as a pure saintess in the past. Now that I think about it, you're extremely pathetic and laughable!”
She stopped smiling and turned around to look at the pine forest on the mountain. When she turned around, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Didn't you do anything wrong?" She gritted her teeth and said," Let me ask you, why didn't you even touch me? Who do you think I am? Do you know how much I wanted to sleep in your arms when we spent the night in the car? Hmph, I'm a weak woman, and I followed you to this desolate mountain. Why don't you kiss me and warm me up…I'm also a woman. I need love and money. Don't you know that?”
It was as if I had been kicked in the head by a horse. I was stunned for a long time before I came back to my senses and looked at her foolishly. If that was the case, wouldn't it be a great injustice? I recalled the scene that day. Could it be that she thought this way at that time?
"You, are you serious…?”
"Hmph, it's fake. I'm lying to you!" She said angrily as she walked forward quickly.
I chased after him, my mind full of thoughts and mixed feelings.
The two of them didn't speak and walked away silently.
The sun had set, and the western sky was red. She stopped and looked at the red clouds in the sky."" Our past was like the clouds in the sky. It was so beautiful. Unfortunately, it's gone forever…"
"No, if you want, we can start over.”I said anxiously," Bi Min, do you know? I have, have…"
"What? Do you have money? You've found a mine, haven't you?" She laughed." But we don't even know how many days we'll have to dig for that mine!”
"It's not a mine. I found a crystal. It's worth a million yuan!"
"What is it? A million?" Her eyes widened." Is it worth that much?”
I regretted it the moment I said it. What happened to me? Who said that thing was worth a million? Wasn't that nonsense?
" Yes, yes, yes…" I stammered.
"Where is it? Show it to me!”
"It's at the Black Pool. I'll take it, it…I'll show it to you when we get back!”
She smiled. Let's go, we should go back."
