Salted fish amnesia small time pension harvest gold finger

In less than two minutes, a short, dark and thin man was brought over by them, grabbed by the scruff of the neck.

Xiao Duan was holding a mineral water bottle in his hand. Red could be vaguely seen in the half-filled bottle of turbid water. It was a rough ruby.

Old Joe kicked him while cursing at him, but he only kicked the ground. The skinny guy rolled over and wailed for mercy.

It's basically the same as what Chinese people like to say when begging for mercy: "There are old people above me and young children below me."

Old Joe was so angry that he laughed. He warned again in Burmese: "Tell me yourself, how many times has this happened? I've told you that this place has been bought and is private property. You can't come here to mine gems anymore."

The thin dark man gestured and chattered a lot, and his eyes showed a bit of sadness and panic about the future.

Old Qiao said earnestly, "We will be hiring workers after the rainy season ends, so don't come here to steal the fruits! Even if you steal the fruits, you can only sell them privately at a low price, and the price won't be that high, so why bother? Our boss is here today, so if you have good fruits, bring them here, and we will definitely not let you suffer a loss at the price."

The thin dark man glanced at Song Jinhan and Yun Tinglan, and kept looking at the bottle. He wanted to buy something but didn't dare to speak. However, he was reluctant to give up because his family was waiting for him to sell it for money to eat.

"Let me take a look. If the quality is good, I'll take it." Yun Tinglan took the bottle and poured them out. There were quite a few. How long did it take to dig? At least one night.

There is only one ruby, which is relatively small, less than two carats, but the color and clarity are good. The rest are three pink spinels, a thumb-sized citrine, and some nice-looking stones, but they are not gems.

Xiao Duan also came back, holding the tools that the thin black man had hidden in a panic, including a sieve, a hammer and a pickaxe.

At this moment, the thin black man's face looked really ugly. That was the guy he depended on for food. He quickly pulled Old Joe to beg for mercy.

Old Qiao looked at Yun Tinglan in embarrassment and pointed at the tools on the ground, "Miss Hao, he means to use these gems to redeem the things."

Yun Tinglan shook her head, and the dark-skinned man turned pale instantly. Then she said, "Give him 400,000 Myanmar Kyats and return his things to him. Don't steal anymore in the future."

Old Joe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The ethnic minorities here were united and xenophobic. If a conflict arose, they would probably be in endless trouble.

If these natives secretly destroyed their equipment, even if they killed these people, the loss would be huge and it would not be worth it.

Furthermore, they have lived in this mountain area since childhood and are very familiar with the terrain. If they just hide in the mountains, it is not certain that they will be found with so few people.

We can't just do nothing and block people. I'm afraid that by then, even normal mining will be affected.

So, he turned a blind eye.

The thin dark man didn't understand, but he recognized money and got his food stuff back. He thanked Wang Wei repeatedly with a look of ecstasy on his face and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Wang Wei's collar.

Wang Wei said to him, "We buy gemstones here. The price is definitely higher than what you sell secretly. You can come and sell them."

Old Qiao added: "Go back and tell your companions that there will be an electric fence here that can kill people. It's very dangerous, so don't come here to steal and mine."

The thin dark man nodded repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the jungle. It was unknown whether he heard it or not.

Song Jinhan used his crutch to poke the road and said, "Ask them to come here to help. Repair the road as soon as possible and build the power grid as soon as possible." He then said to Wang Wei, "The daily supply lines must be ensured. If there are not enough people, recruit more."

He would say hello to Zhao Shengli, and the guns and ammunition would be replenished gradually. "We are one family, safety comes first."

Wang Wei nodded and said that he would contact his old comrades when he returned. Few retired soldiers can find jobs they like and have been out of touch with society for a long time, so most of them find it difficult to adapt to society.

However, the situation here still needs to be made clear, and then see if they are willing to come. It is a little dangerous, but the income is really high.

Mr. Huo has made all the connections possible, and their role is more to patrol and deter those with bad intentions. The purchased weapons are also arriving one after another, so they are armed to the teeth and their safety is guaranteed.

A group of people came to the place where the skinny man was mining.

The weathered giant marble is black and gray in color. A small recessed hole has been mined out, exposing the white calcite.

It had obviously been mined for quite some time.

Ling Xi suddenly said, "Master, there is a ruby."

Yun Tinglan paused and touched the place marked by Lingxi. Sister Zhou took out a small hammer and prepared to help Yun Tinglan knock the stone, but she didn't let her.

He took the hammer and started chiseling at the points marked by Lingxi.

No one cared. When Old Joe and his friends came for the first time, they couldn't help but knock a few times. People always have a bit of curiosity and a sense of luck.

What if rubies were really found? It's not illegal to dream of getting rich overnight.

Last week, a few bastards sneaked into the previously abandoned old mine, and he almost thought they were captured by other local forces.

A mine that is thousands of meters deep, are you trying to kill yourself?

He had no choice but to have someone put an iron door on the entrance of the cave before they stopped.

The only worry was that the girl might get herself hurt. But since the boss was indulgent, they couldn't say anything.

Forget it. Anyway, we have enough medicines for external injuries, and with Lao Li here, we don’t have to worry about medical treatment.

Ding ding ding, after a few hits with the hammer, sparks flew immediately.

Everyone thought that Yun Tinglan was just curious and stopped because she was tired.

Yun Tinglan knew that there was a ruby ​​inside, so she declined others' help, lest they break her ruby.

Bang!

A minute later, a piece of calcite fell down, with a hint of red, which was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

What the hell!

Old Joe and the others were shocked, is this true? ! !

Yun Tinglan gently knocked off the surrounding native rocks, leaving a circle so as not to damage the ruby.

It's estimated to be three or four carats, with cracks and a not very good shape. It would be considered good if it could weigh two carats after cutting and polishing.

She twisted it with her fingers and looked at it against the light. The color was really beautiful. Even if she only got this one, the trip would be worth it!

"The mineral vein can be mined from here." Ling Xi scanned it and found that the mineral content was quite considerable. She asked Lao Qiao again: "Do you know that man just now? He seems to have some ability and is quite accurate in finding minerals. Can you recruit him?"

Old Joe breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll give it a try." If nothing unexpected happens, this will work. Although there are many gem mines here, the rich are all tycoons. The poverty of the local people is beyond his imagination.

Thanks to his parents for giving birth to him as a Chinese, he loves China!

Xiao Duan and the others were eager to try their luck when they saw the rock mass. Song Jinhan waved his hand and let them move freely. "All the gems you dig today are yours."

He can buy it back at a high price.

Ignoring Wang Wei and Lao Qiao's glares, six or seven young men in their twenties took out small hammers from their waists.

Yes, we all came prepared.

Mr. Huo is generous and doesn't care about the loss!

Wang Wei and Lao Qiao looked at each other and lost their temper.

Yun Tinglan didn't knock again. The remaining gems were at least ten centimeters deep inside the rock layer. It was too tiring to knock them with a hammer; his hands were numb.

She walked slowly towards the riverbed not far away and squatted beside the not-so-clear water, trying to find the place Lingxi pointed to.

She felt unwell and really didn't want to go into the water. After thinking it over for a while, she decided to get up and cut a branch to see if she could pull it up.

A cane was handed over.

Yun Tinglan carefully looked at this gentleman's cane worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in his heart he weighed the value of the ruby ​​that Ling Xi mentioned.

Compare and see if it is worthwhile to put it in the water.

Song Jinhan frowned slightly, and seeing that she didn't move, he pried her hand apart and put it in her palm, "Hold it, don't go into the water."

"I'll do it. Which stone do you like, Miss Hao? I'll pick it up!" Xiao Duan threw down the hammer in his hand, kicked his foot, and his shoes flew far away.

"Need not……"

Before he could finish his words, the other person had already jumped into the water.

"Where is it?" Xiao Duan was happy to serve the beautiful lady. He just wanted to get some good luck and didn't notice the look Wang Wei gave him.

Wang Wei glared angrily, "You idiot! What are you looking for to make a name for yourself?"

Special Assistant Liu secretly gave a thumbs up to this brave warrior.

Old Joe turned his head silently and said, "You have no eyesight."

Yun Tinglan: "...uh...walk to the left...take another step, right, right under your feet, can you see it? Don't move...the water is muddy..." Now it is completely invisible.

Yun Tinglan held her forehead with her hand, feeling tired.

Old Joe took out a flat, round tool similar to a sieve from somewhere and shoveled the mud and rocks near Xiaoduan's feet.

Then they all fell to the shore.

The large dark red particles are particularly conspicuous among the mud and rocks!

It’s six carats!

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

Everyone looked at Yun Tinglan differently.

It's like a mobile gem scanner!

What incredible luck!

There is a reason why everyone on the Internet worships Miss Hao as a lucky fish! Several guys secretly decided to click, follow and forward this lucky fish when they get home.

Wish them good luck too!

Song Jinhan moved a step to the left, blocking everyone's sight without leaving a trace, and looked at Lao Qiao.

Old Joe understood and immediately took out his satellite phone to call people to come here to block the area first and then search.

Yun Tinglan picked it up and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass.

There are cracks and inclusions, which greatly reduces the value, which is a pity. However, rubies are naturally prone to cracks and inclusions, and there is a saying that "nine out of ten rubies are cracked", which is also normal.

There are only two situations where there are no cracks: one is the best ruby, and the other is artificial synthetic ruby.

She analyzed, "This should have been washed down by the heavy rain in the early hours of last night." She wiped the ruby ​​clean with a tissue, put it in her pocket, looked along the riverbed, and pointed to the loess hillside in the distance, "There should be some there too."

Lingxi's scan results pointed there.

Song Jinhan also looked over and instructed Special Assistant Liu: "Order another batch of high-pressure water guns." At that time, in order to facilitate management, the entire mountain was within the mining range.

This mineral deposit is even more ideal than what was originally surveyed.

Special Assistant Liu nodded and said he would make arrangements as soon as he got the signal back to the camp.

Compared to the rock formations which require much effort to find, the riverbed is much easier to find.

Old Joe asked everyone to go down and search, and they would also be careful not to muddy the river water.

Unfortunately, more than ten minutes passed and nothing was seen.

In the end, the water was so turbid that they could not see clearly, so they simply dumped the mud, sand and stones directly onto the shore. The decades or even hundreds of years of experience of the Burmese are still worth learning.

Sister Zhou also squatted down to help look. Although she didn't find any rubies, she found a lot of spinels, moonstones, and diopside, which were colorful and quite beautiful.

"The content of spinel here is quite rich, including gray, pink and red." Yun Tinglan separated the spinel from the others and picked up a chrome diopside. "This light green one is also beautiful, and it is gem grade." It can be used as a substitute for emerald, but the others can be passed directly if not suitable.

Looking at the mud stains on her hands, Yun Tinglan was about to go to the river to wash them, but Song Jinhan took a crescent-white handkerchief and wiped it across her forehead.

Is your face dirty too? Maybe it got stained without you noticing.

Yun Tinglan was not used to such a close distance, she could smell the scent of medicine on him with every breath... Medicinal scent?

Is he taking medicine? I didn't smell any blood, and I didn't see him wearing any medicine beads. Was it to suppress the poisonous insects on his legs?

While she was distracted, she saw him wiping her fingers with great concentration. His movements were gentle, unlike the last time when he applied the medicine. Was he practicing this secretly?

She complained in her heart, and Song Jinhan naturally stuffed the dirty handkerchief into his pocket and asked, "Are you hungry?"

There was no need for Yun Tinglan to answer. The rumbling sound of her stomach had already betrayed her. Song Jinhan curved his eyebrows and said, "Let's go back."

Her features were subconsciously gentle.

Yun Tinglan felt embarrassed, but she didn't show it on her face. She walked in front with her eyes lowered. She wouldn't be bothered with her belly.

Special Assistant Liu fell far behind the two men and rubbed his eyes, muttering, "He must be blurry from picking up rocks too much. How could the boss be laughing?"

"It's broken. It's too late."

Song Jinhan looked at her with concern: "What's wrong?"

Yun Tinglan sighed: "I won't be able to make it to tomorrow's bidding." Although she bought a lot of materials in Zhao Shengli's warehouse, she also liked the ones at the public auction.

It’s not a big deal. “Write down the number and price, and I’ll find someone to bid for you.”

This can be done.

Yun Tinglan looked back and smiled sweetly.

The long dark hair was simply braided into a fishtail and tied with an ordinary black rubber band. I don't know when it slid to the chest.

The moment she turned her head, glistening beads of sweat slid from her cheeks to her shoulders and neck, then flowed over her collarbone and slowly fell, capturing his mind like a slow-motion shot.

Song Jinhan looked away uncomfortably and helped her put on the sun hat.

Yun Tinglan pulled the brim of her hat and curled her red lips slightly. This feeling of being cared for and pampered everywhere was something she had never felt before. It was pretty good!

When she arrived at the door, Yun Tinglan discovered that there were suddenly several thatched houses more than a hundred meters away, and the grass on them was still green.

Old Joe explained, "This is a temporary place for locals who want to find work."

The sun here is too strong. Even after using sunscreen, Yun Tinglan's skin was still a little sunburned. So she followed the locals and applied TNAKA, which is neem powder, on her face.

It is a cheap beauty cream made by locals.

It has the functions of sun protection, anti-inflammatory, mosquito repellent and whitening. It is pure and natural and does not contain any chemical ingredients. It was exchanged between Sister Man and the locals.

Sister Zhou helped her draw flower patterns on her cheeks and forehead, which looked pretty good, with a faint bitter fragrance.

After going downstairs, seeing Song Jinhan staring at her face with strange eyes, Yun Tinglan narrowed her eyes and prepared to give him a special makeup with evil intentions.

Song Jinhan was resisting the yellow paste in his heart, but his body did not dodge and let Yun Tinglan do it.

Yun Tinglan originally wanted to put on a cat, no, a tiger makeup, to avenge the mockery in his eyes, but after staring at that face for a long time, she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

boom!

They both turned their heads at the sound of a fruit plate falling to the ground.

Xiao Duan wanted to cry, he really didn't mean it. He looked flustered and helpless, picked up the fruit in a panic and ran out.

Yun Tinglan was confused at first, not understanding why he was so panicked. Suddenly she felt the temperature around her waist and subconsciously looked over, only to find the pair of big hands.
