Mu Ling thought about it and understood what Ye Qing meant. Now her identity was not a Lisu witch, but a gem guide from Mogok who went to Mengmeike to purchase gems with jewelers from China.
And she only received information from the Lisu miner yesterday. Moreover, the miner did not tell her that the mountain landslide blocked the road.
Therefore, if it collapsed some time ago, there is a trap ahead.
She turned around and chirped a few words to Abang, who pointed ahead.
Mu Ling looked at Ye Qing: "Boss, Abang said that last night, the mine not far away was soaked by rain for a long time, and together with the mountain road, it collapsed into a big pit."
Mago turned to look at Ye Qing: "The mountain roads in the mining area are all built next to the mine pits. Since the collapse is not far ahead, you can tell it at a glance."
Ye Qing pushed the door and got out of the car, squinted his eyes and glanced ahead. The drizzle was like a layer of fog, making it difficult to see the distance: "Ma Guo, follow me and get out of the car. Auntie, you are responsible for contacting Liu Le and Peng Fei. ..."
Song Youqing agreed, and Ye Qing had already taken Mago away.
"Why are you holding me back?" Although Ma Guo was wearing a jacket and sneakers suitable for mountain walking, they were dirty, and the red mud looked like...
"I don't speak Burmese."
"Now you know the importance of learning a foreign language!" Mago bickered with him, but walked quickly ahead. Every time before landing, he made sure his feet were firm before moving forward. People are out in the wild, sprained feet and injured, and can only resign themselves to fate.
Ye Qing has received brutal wilderness survival training and is very familiar with walking in the wild.
The place of collapse was just one kilometer ahead.
Gem mines are dug under hills, and they are dug deeper and deeper. Once the underground water cannot be controlled, the mine will be abandoned.
Over time, the mines have turned into deep puddles, and a slight vibration of the earth's crust will cause a collapse...
Ye Qing and Ma Guo were standing on the edge of such a swamp formed by water and soil. The rocky road built next to the mountain road has now become a swamp.
This kind of swamp is actually more terrifying than a puddle. You can escape from a puddle, but there is no way to survive in a swamp.
Ye Qing and Ma Guo walked around the swamp for a long time, and then they felt relieved after making sure that there were no human traces.
Maguo glanced at him sideways: "Such landslides are very common in mining areas. In order to save money, mine owners build roads next to the mine pits. The useless mineral soil after washing out gemstones and gold is directly spread on the mountain. A road is formed on it.
In the mining areas during the rainy season, the most terrifying thing is not the mountain bandits who block the road and rob, but the mining pits. Especially for people who are not familiar with the mining areas. Once a car gets stuck in such a swamp, the car will sink directly to the bottom without even a chance to escape. "
Ye Qing nodded: "If you kill someone and throw them into a pit, even the gods will not find them."
Maguo nodded affirmatively: "Yes, many people who don't pay back the money they owe are thrown into the trap."
Ye Qing rolled his eyes at her: "It's only ten million, is it worth your concern?"
Mago sighed: "Why is it not worth it? Have you seen Abang's living conditions? Ten million can not only change their lives, but also change their destiny."
She pointed to the hills ahead: "In every abandoned mine, there is a group of people like Abang, risking their lives to dig for gems. Maybe there will be a bang..."
"Are there many gems in the abandoned mine?"
Ma Guo rolled her eyes at him angrily: "The mines are abandoned. Do you think there are still many gems? I can only say that there may be. However, every miner has a dream of getting rich."
Ye Qing rubbed his nose: "Your words reminded me that we put the car in Abang's natural village, they won't secretly sell our car!"
Maguo nodded affirmatively: "I have no doubt, they will definitely do this, so not only do we have to pay them a sum of money, but we also have to leave someone to look after the car..."
Ye Qing let out a breath, "Poverty leads to treachery and wealth leads to conscience. A wild miner like this may turn into a murderous and plundering robber at any time." What's more, among the people in this car, one man and four women are the best candidates for killing and stealing.
Mago looked back at the Mitsubishi SUV that was following Abang slowly towards the tin house...
"After I go back, I'll give you 10 million." Ye Qing sighed: "If you want to change their destiny, you can't simply give them money."
The two people also came to the tin huts. More than a dozen tin huts were connected in a row. Several children hid in the rooms and looked at them in fear.
Abang had a flattering smile on his face: "Boss, do you want gems..."
"Find us a place to stay first. Friends will be here soon." Ye Qing casually handed over a stack of kyats. It seemed like a lot of money, but in fact it was only two or three hundred when converted into RMB: "The gems must be What we want to see, though, is the gems.”
The only gems in northern Myanmar are diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. These gemstones are valued in carats.
But the Mogok mining area not only produces gemstones, but also produces amethyst, zircon, tourmaline, aquamarine, garnet, peridot, obsidian, morganite, tanzanite, and lapis lazuli.
The prices of these semi-precious stones are very low. Generally, wild miners dig for this type of semi-precious stone.
Abang nodded: "As long as the price is high, there will be no shortage of gems..."
"You speak Chinese." Ye Qinghu asked. Just now he blocked the road to sell gems, but he was mumbling.
"There are often jewelers passing by on this road, but they are reluctant to stop when they hear Burmese. I just learned Chinese." Abang stumbled and said: "But I can't speak it well."
While talking, Abang let Ye Qing and Mago into a tin house.
There was a straw mat spread inside the house. Song Youqing, Wang Xue and Mu Ling had already moved down the marching backpacks of several people.
Abang's eyes wandered around the crowd. Of the group of one man and four women, Song Youqing was the well-deserved eldest sister. The little girl and the young man just now seemed to be bodyguards. The little girl talking to him was obviously a shopping guide from Mogok. There is no jeweler who goes to Mengmeike to purchase gems without a bodyguard.
Among the people, the one who has the most detailed observation of people's hearts is Mu Ling, followed by Ye Qing.
Wood spirits are born with a clear mind, and they can know the good and evil of people's hearts at a glance.
Ye Qing, on the other hand, has lived in Panjiayuan for many years and knows that human nature is inherently evil.
Mu Ling tilted his head and asked in Burmese: "Nabang, do you have anything else to do?"
Na Bang pointed at Ye Qing: "I asked this boss just now and he said he wanted to buy gems."
Mu Ling glanced at him suspiciously: "This tailings can also produce gems."
Just now Nabang stopped on the road to sell gemstones, holding peridots and garnets in his hands. As veteran miners for many years, they started selecting gemstones with their families when they were two years old. When they grew up, they were all experts in mining.
Therefore, it is impossible for Nabang not to be able to tell the difference between gems and non-gems.
