When the group of people walked to the edge of the stream, everyone stopped and stared at Cao Buxiu's performance. Cao Buxiu walked to the water's edge, leaned over and looked around for a long time. Then he went into the water himself, took out a large amount of sand from the water, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and observed it carefully.
'Di Qing, do you think there is real gold in this? ''There should be, they must have explored in advance, otherwise what would they do in our mountain?
Lao Mazi asked Di Qing, "If there is gold and we find it, what will we do?" 'That's the most troublesome thing.
Liang Chuan put this trouble back. 'What would you most like to do if you had gold?
The two little old men sat down leaning on the rocks by the stream. Old Mazi broke off a grass stalk and ate it, and said cheerfully: "It would be best to build another house and live in this mountain every day. It's too much." Damn, we are so frustrated. If we stay here any longer, we will definitely get sick!
''You think too much and you are building a house. We don't know how long this war will last. The houses have been burned down by the South Vietnamese soldiers. How can you build it?
Besides, whose gold belongs to it and how to calculate it? Uncle Bi Mao raised this key question, and everyone looked at Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan sighed and sighed, thinking to himself that he would finally have to face such a problem! If the answer is good, the discovery of gold is a good thing; if the answer is bad, it will bring disaster to everyone!
Liang Chuan organized his thoughts and responded slowly: "I think this gold belongs to all the people in Guangyuan!"
'This is the answer, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Chuan continued: 'But we don't know how much gold there is!
''Di Qing, what do you mean? . ? ''If there is a lot of gold and we want to monopolize it, it will be difficult. However, if there is little gold, there are thousands of people in the cave alone. There are many people but little meat, and the gold cannot be divided among everyone. !
''So I'm thinking, if we find this gold, its final use must be to serve all people!
''You tell me, you have a lot of ideas, we all listen to you! ''We don't have the technology to mine gold, so we can only rely on these Han people to do things for us. The first thing is that we can no longer beat and scold them at will. The death of one of them is a huge loss to us!
So we can neither let them die or get sick, let alone let them run away! 'The man wearing Cao Bujiu's clothes stood back with obvious fear, fearing that Liang Chuan would see him and scold him!
The little move didn't escape Liang Chuan's eyes. Liang Chuan smiled and said, "What's your name? You did a great job!"
''My name is Nonglie! I'm sorry Di Qing, this Han is really hateful. I also beat him according to your instructions. I can return his clothes to him.
. ''Nong Lie, you did a great job. Just save the clothes for Cao Buxiu first. I see that you are very conscientious and you must be more attentive in the future!
Nong Lie thought he would be scolded this time, but he didn't expect Liang Chuan to praise him. He immediately issued a military order in front of Liang Chuan, as if he had been beaten to death, promising to do this!
The old Nong people laughed loudly when they saw it. Nong Lie was indeed unknown before, but later he was recruited into the hunting team by Liang Chuan. Everyone gradually discovered the shining points of this boy. He moved very quickly. Although he was usually reticent, he also spoke very measuredly. , is a good seedling!
'If this money is divided equally, each person will not get much at all, so my idea is that we should pool this money and use it where we need it!
Everyone nodded. They now like to listen to Liang Chuan's speech. Liang Chuan's words seem to have a kind of magic power. They will believe it once they hear it!
'Where, how do you put it? Di Qing, although you are not from our country, but we have all seen these days that you are sincerely planning for us people. Without you, we might still be in the mountains. We lived a life of hiding in Tibet, and it was you who gave us a good meal. We all know it clearly in our hearts. I said this not because you once saved my life, but because I said it from my own heart. Sincere words!
On behalf of us homeless people, just do what you do. If anyone objects to you, I will be the first to stand up and talk to him!
'After Lao Mazi spoke up, others even patted their chests to support Liang Chuan! Liang Chuan is relieved!
'Our first priority right now is to buy food! You may not feel it, but the food in our cave is given priority to the brothers of the hunting team. The old and weak women in the cave have made huge sacrifices for the cave. Many of them have begun to starve and can only eat a little wild vegetables every day. , if you hunt wild animals, they can fill their bellies!
''I think we shouldn't let them linger on the edge of starvation after making huge sacrifices. That is a shame for us men. If gold can really be found this time, it will be God blessing us in Guangyuan Prefecture. , none of you should think of monopolizing this wealth, including me. We must use this money to buy food to ensure that all brothers and sisters will never go hungry again!
"Liang Chuan gave such an impassioned speech that even some people burst into tears!
In the past, they had a chieftain, who was considered their leader, but the chieftain would consider whether they would have food to eat today. No, the chieftain and the others were aloof and would only think about whether they had the opportunity to enjoy themselves. As for them, The people at the bottom are just chess pieces!
They are not hard-hearted, nor are they emotionless beasts. They don't even consider whether the relatives behind them have food to eat. This person is already planning for them!
After hearing Liang Chuan's words, if anyone is interested in gold again, they will definitely become the public enemy of everyone!
Even they can't explain it. Liang Chuan's actions are indeed for everyone! This was originally a crisis, but Liang Chuan once again used this crisis to enhance his prestige among everyone. This was something he did not expect!
He was also sighing secretly in his heart, this is not easy to deal with! 'That's it. If gold is really found, we will use it to buy food. We will all listen to you!
'Not far away, Cao Buxiu in the stream has begun panning for gold. He plunged the pottery basin deeply into the stream, scooped up a basin of dark brown mud from the stream, and handed it to the farmer next to him.
The farmer took the clay pot, stirred the mud in the pot skillfully, and then began to shake the pot. As he shook the pot, the muddy water inside became more turbid. While shaking, the farmer slowly poured out the turbid muddy water. .
The farmer poured almost all the water in the basin, leaving only a thin layer of silt on the bottom of the basin. He handed the basin to Cao Buxiu and asked him to look for silt elsewhere!
Cao Buxiu drew the gourd in the same way, found another place, lowered the basin to the bottom of the water, and filled it with a full basin of muddy water!
The farmer and Cao Bujiu repeated this operation nearly twenty times. Finally, a trace of joy appeared on their faces, they poured out all the black water in the basin, straightened their waists, and waved to the people on the shore!
'Gold found! 'I don't know who uttered an exclamation, and everyone jumped up immediately and poured into the stream one after another!
Liang Chuan walked to Cao Buxiu. Cao Buxiu held the black pottery basin in his hand and handed it to Liang Chuan. He gently stirred the fine sand in the basin with his hands. When the fine sand was pushed away, he saw that there was a shiny ball lying on the bottom of the basin. A layer of fine gold sand, not much, but evenly spread over a small area on the bottom of the pot!
'Let everyone see! Liang Chuan took the basin, looked at it carefully, then picked up some gold sand with his hand, and felt the weight with his fingertips. It turned out to be gold!
Gold is very heavy! Cao Buxiu and his husband were responsible for finding mud and dividing the water. After the mud and water were muddy, the gold and impurities could be separated.
Because gold is heavier than stone, the poured muddy water cannot take away the gold sand in the basin. The more times you scoop out the muddy water, the more gold will settle into the basin!
On the contrary, scooping water many times will cause the mud and sand to be taken away by the water, but in the end, the gold will remain, and the amount will accumulate more and more!
Although the method is stupid, it is the most effective method! Everyone present took the pottery basin with their trembling hands and looked at the situation in the basin carefully. Some people wanted to reach out and touch the gold inside, but the old man stopped them immediately!
They are not Liang Chuan, only Liang Chuan can touch this gold! However, just looking at it is enough! Everyone looked at it again, and finally handed the basin back to Liang Chuan!
'Come here with the porcelain bottle! ''Brother, we don't have porcelain bottles here! ''Why don't you even have a porcelain vase!
'Liang Chuan wants to use porcelain bottles to hold these gold sands! As a result, my place was so poor that I didn’t even have a container!
'Nonglie, you are quick on your feet. I have some money here. Take the money to the foot of the mountain and buy a porcelain vase. Why don't you buy a porcelain jar directly?
''Then do I still want to watch this person? Nonglie asked knowingly, and everyone laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about it, of course someone will see it!"
Nong Lie took the money from Liang Chuan and quickly went down the mountain! He is not the only one who is excited. If they can discover gold, they will have extra income, and their days will get better and better in the future!
Liang Chuan looked at Lao Mazi, Uncle Bi Mao, and the other excited Nong people, and said to them: "There is actually gold, and there is no perfect way. Let's make arrangements for it next!"
Lao Mazi said: "What should we arrange?" Liang Chuan glared at him and said, "Of course I'm looking for gold!"
Do you think we can buy food just for this little bit of gold sand in the basin? Of course Liang Chuan had to make good arrangements. Now that gold is really discovered, things are completely different. There are many things to do now, not just gold panning!
