"Then we will go up the mountain soon to see if we can find more stones like this. If it is confirmed that there is a gold mine, we will invite Uncle Geng to come over to discuss how to maximize the benefits." Su Mo said.
Lu Changzheng frowned, "Daughter-in-law, it's snowing outside and it's very cold. Just tell me where it is and I'll go by myself."
He was not willing to let his wife suffer the cold.
"I can't tell where it is, but I know the approximate location. I'll take you there. I'll wear thicker clothes so that I won't get cold if I exercise."
Lu Changzheng wanted to say that he could just search along the stream, but seeing the firm look in Su Mo's eyes, he knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he had no choice but to comply. But when he goes out, he must bring his military coat with him.
Su Mo grabbed a handful of White Rabbit toffee, took the remaining pieces of chicken cake, and filled a pot of hot water with her to have for lunch on the mountain.
Lu Changzheng originally planned to carry Su Mo on his back if she couldn't walk, but he found that although she couldn't walk as fast as flying, her speed was not slow.
It seems that after this period of exercise, his wife's physical strength has improved a lot. I wonder if it is more resistant than before?
However, the further they walked, the more Lu Changzheng realized something was wrong. This was heading towards the mountains.
"Daughter-in-law, do you usually walk this far up the mountain?"
"No, I accidentally got lost that time, so I wandered a little further."
The two walked inside for more than half an hour. Seeing that Su Mo had no intention of stopping, Lu Changzheng silently took out his pistol and loaded it.
This is completely within the scope of the mountains, and you may encounter wild beasts at any time. It is now winter when the vegetation has dried up, so it is easier to walk. It would not be easy to walk at other times.
His wife is truly a hero among women. She is indeed a woman who dares to walk on mountain roads in the middle of the night!
When choosing a den, agents always know to stay as close to the outside as possible, but his wife was better off and kept walking inside.
Finally, after walking for about ten minutes, Su Mo stopped and pointed to the creek beside her: "This is it."
At this time, the stream was not completely frozen, but there was some thin ice in the flowing water, so the stones in the stream were still clearly visible.
The two of them searched along the stream for more than half an hour, but they did not find any special stones.
When Lu Changzheng saw that the time was almost a little late, he was afraid that Su Mo would be hungry, so he stopped and had lunch first.
Lu Changzheng picked up some dead branches and lit a small fire for Su Mo to roast. Then he put the kettle on the fire to warm the water.
The two of them drank warm water and ate chicken cakes, and one of them ate two pieces of White Rabbit toffee.
Su Mo sat by the fire, feeling a little disappointed. After all, she had high expectations. She thought she would definitely find a second similar stone, but she found nothing.
Lu Changzheng noticed Su Mo's disappointment and quickly comforted her: "Daughter-in-law, it's still early, let's look for her again."
While talking, he helped Su Mo brush the snow off his hat.
It's just that the snow seems to be getting heavier and heavier, so it won't be possible to find it for much longer. It would take them two more than three hours to walk down the mountain from here.
Su Mo nodded, then picked up a branch and played with the snow on the ground. The snow was not thick, so I poked at it and pulled out a stone from the ground.
The stone was originally slightly embedded in the ground. After Su Mo pulled it out, he turned it over and exposed the side that was originally underground.
On it, there were two golden pieces the size of soybeans.
Su Mo was also shocked. Is she possessed by the God of Luck? He and Lu Changzheng looked at each other, with some disbelief in their eyes.
After seeing his wife's luck with his own eyes, Lu Changzheng really didn't know what to say. Could this be the so-called "Chosen One"?
Lu Changzheng held Su Mo and kissed her, then picked up the stone and walked to the stream to wash it.
After washing it, the golden color became more obvious, and there were probably more than just the two golden beans inside.
Lu Changzheng handed the stone to Su Mo and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, there is really a gold mine."
Su Mo also smiled happily, took it, looked at it, and then handed it back to him to pack.
It’s good to have it!
If you have it, you can let the people around you climb up, and they have an extra layer of protection.
"Tell me, why are you on the edge?" Su Mo was a little confused. This place was quite far away from the creek.
Lu Changzheng explained: "Maybe it washed down when the snow melted. During heavy snowfalls, the water on this mountain is so big that the stream can turn into a river."
Coincidentally, there was a heavy snowstorm here last year, and his father wrote a letter to tell him, saying that he had not seen such heavy snow in at least twenty years.
It was probably washed down when the snow melted at the beginning of the year, and then planted again in the spring. The adults didn't have time to go up the mountain. By the time they were gone, the vegetation on the mountain would have been lush and they wouldn't be found.
His wife was lucky enough to find out after she came here once.
The two of them searched along the stream again, this time not only searching in the stream, but also on the side.
After searching for more than an hour, the two found several more gold-containing stones, and even found a gold nugget the size of a rice bowl.
There is no need to look for it this time. With the nugget gold, it is an absolute proof!
I'll discuss it with Geng Changqing when I get back to see how it works better.
Lu Changzheng washed all the stones and packed them, then led Su Mo down the mountain.
It's almost three o'clock now, and it's starting to snow heavily. If we don't hurry up, we'll be in the dark.
On the way back, Su Mo was thinking about Lu Yougen, so she asked, "Have you heard about the second sister-in-law and her father?"
Yesterday, Su Mo also went to express condolences with Liu Yuzhi.
No matter what the relationship was like, my grand-in-law's biological father died and he was in the same village. It was unreasonable not to go there.
Although Lu Guihua's words were eccentric, Su Mo really didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Lu Changzheng nodded. He saw it when he was sorting out the files.
"I didn't expect him to come to this point." Su Mo sighed. How many people in the last days can't live even if they want to, but those who can live end up committing suicide.
"This is his own choice." Lu Changzheng actually despised this kind of behavior. If you had the courage to do this in the first place, you must also have the courage to bear the consequences.
Fortunately, the commune's punishment was not handed down, and no one in the brigade knew about it, otherwise it would have seemed like everyone forced him to death.
Maybe in the eyes of some people, face is more important than anything else, even life.
"I looked at my second brother's brother-in-law yesterday. He looked very immature and seemed to be incompetent at all." In fact, Su Mo wanted to ask if that man had any intellectual problems.
Lu Changzheng sneered, "Lu Fubao has been spoiled since he was a child. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has clothes to eat, food to eat, and mouth to open. I think the second brother may have more than one son."
"Isn't that right? The second sister-in-law's family also has a house, and the food has just been distributed. He is already so old, so he doesn't need the second brother to raise him, right?"
"I can't tell. I hope my second brother will wake up by then."
If this person gets involved, it's hard to say whether he can get rid of it in the future.
