AWB Chapter 358 Mine
Chapter 358 Mine
It's no wonder that Ning Yuan asked Xu Chang this. Before he and Zhong Yuemin went to the tomb, they had already arranged for a guard post.
They are rotated every night. How come no one is taking care of them when they are not here?
Xu Chang shook his head and said nothing more.
Indeed, everyone in the village is a family, and as young people, everyone wants to sleep a little longer.
There was really no hope in standing guard at the village entrance. The three of them just stared at each other and stayed there for half a day.
Not to mention people in the mountains, even wild animals rarely come here.
At the beginning, at the entrance of the village, you could see wild rabbits, wild goats, wild elk, etc. every one or two days.
Either they were wandering around aimlessly, or they were being chased by ferocious beasts behind them and were fleeing in desperation.
The brothers would not let go of the wild animal right in front of them and would shoot it down directly.
So, one after another, some wild animals, big and small, were sent back.
But as they shot more and more wild animals, fewer and fewer of them came running this way.
The only bit of fun is gone, no wonder no one wants to come here anymore.
Ning Yuan saw that Xu Chang didn't say anything, so he could figure it out roughly by himself.
"Alright, Lao Xu, you just keep working hard for a while. Yuemin and I will go to the village to check on these people!"
After saying hello to Xu Chang, Ning Yuan took Zhong Yuemin and walked back towards the village.
It was almost ten o'clock in the morning. Except for a few female educated youth who got up sporadically, they went to the back of the house where supplies were stored, took out some food, and prepared to cook.
Zhang Ruonan and Meng Qing were also among these female educated youth.
After seeing Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin, he greeted them.
"When did you come back?"
Meng Qing was familiar with Ning Yuan and the others, so she walked over and asked confidently.
Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin had already walked around the village.
I first went to check the field on the east side. The weeds had been cleared and the soil had been turned over.
I was just about to go and take a look at the gold mine in the back mountain, and I happened to meet these female educated youth here.
Meng Qing came up and asked Ning Yuan, and Ning Yuan could only smile and explain.
"We came back last night, quite late, so I guess you were all asleep and didn't notice!"
"Are you guys going to cook?"
When Meng Qing heard that Ning Yuan and the others had just returned last night, she nodded, and when she heard him asking her, she quickly responded.
"Well, a few of us got up early and just finished washing up. Let's get some food here and cook dinner for everyone!"
Ning Yuan nodded after listening, and after looking at Zhong Yuemin, he turned around and said.
"Okay, you guys go cook first. Yuemin and I are going to take a look around the mine in the back mountain. We'll come back later!"
Meng Qing nodded and was about to leave, but heard Ning Yuan say something behind her.
"By the way, if you see someone getting up later, have them go and wake them up. We'll have a meeting after dinner!"
After hearing this, Meng Qing told Ning Yuan not to worry, and then Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin left.
After arriving at the back mountain, Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin had already chatted for a while.
Basically, the brothers are too loose now.
Ning Yuan could actually understand it. After all, in the old city, there was no need to worry about food, drink, or housing.
Guys, all we need to do is be comfortable every day.
If they weren't idle, where would so many troublemakers come from to look for places and people to take advantage of?
But things are different now.
When they came to the mountains, there were not enough supplies to provide them with a basic living space so that they could eat and sleep comfortably every day.
When you come here, you have to grow your own food.
Although this place is geographically located in the south, the temperature in the mountains is still lower than that in the plains outside the mountains.
Therefore, people further south cannot harvest crops three times a year, and can only harvest them twice a year.
Now is the time to plant winter wheat, which will be mature in four months.
But after these brothers turned over the land, they did not plant the wheat seeds.
Forget it, Ning Yuan was just comforting himself. These guys have hardly done farm work, and they probably really don’t know when to plant the seeds.
Ning Yuan still had to teach them step by step.
"Rules and regulations must be established as early as possible. Otherwise, if they become lax and become habits, there's no way to change them!"
Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin walked to the entrance of the mine and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's time to set some rules!"
Zhong Yuemin also agreed.
After saying that, the two of them went into the gold mine together.
It is called a mine, but in fact it is just a cave.
It's nothing more than digging deeper along the direction of the gold vein.
This gold vein is rock gold, and the mines are dug out by chiseling large pieces of rock.
So the mine structure is quite solid.
The former skinhead deserters from Fang Village dug up the mines here and nothing happened for more than ten or twenty years.
Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin came in to inspect the structure of the mine.
"Yuemin, come and look here!"
When Zhong Yuemin heard Ning Yuan suddenly calling him, he quickly leaned over and looked carefully in the direction Ning Yuan pointed.
"What do you mean? What's going on?"
Zhong Yuemin only saw a golden powdery line extending backwards, and under this golden line was a large layer of dark brown soil.
Of course, he was not so stupid as not to recognize gold, but he just didn't understand what Ning Yuan meant by asking him to look here.
Ning Yuan did not point his finger at the golden lines above, but frowned and pointed at the soil layer below, looking at Zhong Yuemin with some concern and said.
"Yuemin, look at the layer of soil below, and then look in the direction we came from. It's all rock!"
"What does this mean?"
Zhong Yuemin asked somewhat confusedly.
"It means the geological strata have changed! Previously, it was all rock gold mines, which were difficult to mine and had low gold yields. But as we dig further, we've found placer gold mines, which are easier to mine and have a much higher gold yield. I'm guessing it will be much higher!"
Ning Yuan continued to explain.
"Hey, isn't that a good thing? It's easy to dig, and you'll find a lot more gold!"
Zhong Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said to Ning Yuan with a hint of complaint.
Ning Yuan smiled bitterly and pointed his finger at the layer of soil below.
"That's not the case! Look at this mine, it was previously carved out of rock, but the ore structure is so solid that there's no need for any protective measures and there's no danger of mine collapse!"
"If we dig deeper, the geological structure will no longer be so solid. If we want to dig further, we must build a supporting structure for the mine!"
Zhong Yuemin understood Ning Yuan's meaning at this time.
His expression became serious and he looked at the place where Ning Yuan pointed again.
