Chapter 176: Weeds Can't Be Pulled Out
Brother Nan and the little cat were cutting grass in front to lead the way.
The members of the mining exploration team carried their equipment and walked along the path they had cleared, passing through grass that was half a person's height.
Gradually, I could hear the sound of gurgling water. As I went deeper, the sound became clearer and clearer. When I passed through the last patch of weeds, water vapor rushed towards me.
Lin Zhihao took a deep breath. The air had a faint smell of soil and grass, a fresh air that was not found in the city.
In addition, because it is close to the water, the air is humid, and the air we breathe in has a coolness that seeps into our lungs, making us feel cool.
The other members of the prospecting team also took a few deep breaths.
We hiked into the mountains, carrying a lot of equipment of all sizes. Although the autumn wind was cool, I still accumulated some heat and felt hot.
Breathing the cool and moist air at this moment, the heat was instantly swept away.
"This water is really clear." Lin Zhihao walked to the bank of the mountain stream, squatted down and looked at the water.
"This place is deep in the nature reserve, and the surrounding rocks and vegetation are all pristine." Li Mu also walked to the shore. The last time he came here was at night, and there was no moonlight or starlight, so he didn't take a closer look.
Now looking at it, this mountain stream is indeed clear. Through the water surface, you can clearly see the pebbles below.
If there were fish, it could really be said that they were all swimming in the air with nowhere to go.
Lin Zhihao was born in the armed police force and had been in the mountains for many years, so he didn't care about anything. He just reached out his hand, stirred the water twice, scooped up a handful of water and drank it.
The other members of the prospecting team also squatted on the shore and scooped up water to drink.
"This is real spring water." Lin Zhihao drank enough water, washed his face twice, stood up and shook off the water droplets.
The reserve is deserted and has no factories, so the water quality here should be better than the mineral water sold on the market.
Li Mu saw that everyone in the group had finished drinking water and washing their faces, so he led them to the rocky beach downstream, saying as he walked, "Negative gold was found here."
"This is downstream. Even if there is a gold mine, it won't be here." Lin Zhihao looked around and looked up at the mountains in the distance. "It should be on the mountain upstream of the mountain stream."
"This is Team Leader Lin's professional area." Li Mu smiled and turned to look aside.
Brother Nan and the kitten walked back and forth on the rocky beach, kicking away a few stones from time to time, as if trying their luck and picking up another piece of gold nugget.
"It's all thanks to you that you found the nugget gold first," Lin Zhihao said. "If you hadn't reported it, we wouldn't have thought of it and wouldn't have come here to look for gold mines."
This is a national protected area. Without the consent of higher authorities, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, let alone search for minerals or mine.
Even if the prospecting team finds the gold mine, it is not certain whether it can be mined. Various demonstrations from the environmental protection department and the natural resources department are needed.
But this is not something Li Mu needs to worry about. At this point, his mission is completed.
"You guys will be looking for minerals for a while, right? Would you like to stay at my place during this time?"
"no, I'm fine."
Lin Zhihao waved his hand and said, "We have been looking for minerals for so many years, and we have already finished all our belongings in a truck."
He pointed to the team members who were unloading their equipment and said, "We have military tents, rice, flour, grain and oil. Your yard is not close to here, and it takes too much time to run back and forth every day. We will just stay here and come back when we find the gold mine."
"That's it."
Li Mu looked at the team members who had already started to set up the tent and nodded, "It's safe for you to park your car at the gate of my yard. You don't have to worry about wild boars or something damaging your car. My phone is on 24 hours a day. If you need anything, feel free to call me."
"Okay, Comrade Li Mu." Lin Zhihao stretched out his hand. "I won't say thank you. If we find a gold mine, I can't say whether it will be a credit or not, but there will definitely be a bonus!"
"Let's talk about it after we find it." Li Mu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lin Zhihao. "Then I won't bother you anymore. I also want to continue patrolling the forest."
After saying that, Li Mu turned to look at the man and the cat who were digging at the rocks, "Brother Nan, Master Yogurt, let's go."
"coming!"
"Meow!"
Lin Zhihao turned his head to look at Brother Nan who was walking over with the kitten in his arms, and then secretly glanced at Li Mu.
The girl's daughter seemed to be very fond of him. I wonder if they were in a relationship.
Both of them are very good-looking, and they are very pleasing to the eye standing together. If they were really in a relationship, they would really be a perfect match.
"Team Leader Lin, don't forget to let me know if you find a gold mine. I have never seen a gold mine before. Let me open my eyes."
Brother Nan's voice pulled Lin Zhihao back from his messy thoughts, and he quickly said, "Okay, I'll tell you when the time comes."
"Then we're leaving, Team Leader Lin." Li Mu waved his hand and turned to walk towards the woods. "Bye, we'll talk again when you find the gold mine." Brother Nan also waved his hand.
"Okay, goodbye, goodbye!" Lin Zhihao also raised his hand and waved.
The cat lay on Brother Nan's shoulder, looking at Lin Zhihao who was getting farther and farther away. After thinking for a while, it imitated Li Mu and Brother Nan and shook its little paws at Lin Zhihao twice, "Meow~"
Lin Zhihao's eyes suddenly widened.
"Huangfengling, 800 miles long, was once a fertile land outside the Great Wall."
Brother Nan put his hands in his pockets, walked swayingly, with a piece of wild grass in his mouth, humming a melodious tune.
I don’t know how she managed to hum a little tune and keep the weeds from falling off.
The kitten at my feet was biting half a piece of wild grass in its mouth and turned its head to look around in the woods.
Li Mu shook his head helplessly, bent down, picked up the kitten, pulled the weeds out of her mouth and threw them aside.
"Meow?"
"He chews a piece of grass in his mouth, like a little gangster."
"Meow"
"Have you forgotten that she is a fool? Don't learn from her." Li Mu glanced at Brother Nan and whispered in Xiaomao's ear.
"Meow?"
Li Mu ignored the kitten's question about what sand sculpture was and looked into her eyes. "I have something I would like to ask Master Yogurt for help with."
"!"
The cat suddenly became serious, "You say!"
"Don't be so serious, just borrow Master Yogurt's nose."
"How to use it?" The cat was still serious.
“Do you remember the smell of clouded leopard?”
"Remember!"
“Can you smell it now?”
The kitten sniffed twice, "Sure!"
"Then take me to find it."
"Ok!"
The cat jumped from Li Mu's arms to the ground, put its nose close to the ground, sniffed for a while, turned its head in another direction, took a few steps and turned to look at Li Mu.
Li Mu understood, called Brother Nan, and followed Xiaomao.
"Where are you going?" Sister Nan turned her head and asked in confusion, with a piece of wild grass in her mouth swaying in the air like the ahoge on her head.
"Looking for clouded leopards." Li Mu said, and naturally stretched out his hand, pulled the weeds out of her mouth and threw them on the ground.
"Do you still want the clouded leopard to pick up the gold nuggets?" Brother Nan didn't seem to notice that the weeds in his mouth had been pulled out.
"No, this is the territory of the clouded leopard. Team Leader Lin and his men are stationed here. I want to tell the clouded leopard not to go there, and also tell the other animals in the forest to avoid going there recently."
"Are you afraid that clouded leopards or other animals might pass by and hurt or scare them?"
“I’m afraid they might hurt the clouded leopard.”
"Hey, you're quite attentive. But I saw that they all carried stun guns, except for Team Leader Lin, who carried a military pistol."
"Then tell them to try not to scare each other."
"You're right." Brother Nan nodded, turned his head back and looked straight ahead.
He reached his right hand into his pocket, fumbled for a while, and took out a piece of wild grass. He glanced at Li Mu sideways, then put the wild grass into his mouth with an indifferent expression.
"."
You can never pull out all the weeds.
Thank you for the monthly ticket from Du Guai Feng Da Tai!
