Chapter 935: Traces of Gold Rush (Part 1)

This is probably the hinterland of Changbai Mountain. We have been running around in the deep mountains and old forests for three or four days. Now it is difficult for us to accurately grasp our position. Some positioning instruments have also failed. Without the signal, we can only rely on our hands.

paper map of.

Brother Yaozi has made calculations and found that we should be very close to North Korea now, but we are still some way away from the border station. The mountains here are the most dangerous and inaccessible.

Like all the deep mountains and old forests we have traveled through in the past, the trees here are extremely dense. Even in the clear sky and daytime, it is difficult for sunlight to enter the mountains. The ancient trees want to be connected together. At most, it is only in the evening, and the visibility is already extremely low.

, again, if you don’t truly set foot in the deep mountains and dangerous rivers, you will never experience the true darkness and loneliness. That is the real majesty of the mountains.

The slope going down the mountain is extremely steep, and there are a lot of pine needles and fallen leaves piled on the ground. It feels soft when you step on it. We have to rely on the big trees next to us to maintain our balance. Even though we are so careful, we are still walking halfway down the mountain.

At that time, something happened on the other side of Lao Bai. He exclaimed "Ouch", fell on his back, and then slid down the mountain. He was directly buried by the fallen leaves, and only a bulge could be seen.

Moving quickly.

Fortunately, not far from him was Duck, a man who grew up under the Changbai Mountain. Seeing this, he swooped up, reached into the fallen leaves with perfect accuracy, grabbed Lao Bai's ankles, and forcefully pulled Lao Bai away.

Drag it out from the nest of fallen leaves.

Lao Bai was breathing heavily, his eyes were cross-eyed with fear, and he kept pointing to a place not far ahead. When I rushed over, he finally calmed down, swallowed hard, and said: "No, it's not me.

Accidentally, someone is fucking plotting against me, this is...a mechanism!!"

I immediately stepped forward and carefully pushed aside the fallen leaves. When I dug out a hole about a foot long, I finally saw the so-called trap...

It was a huge animal trap, full of rust and already stretched open...

"Oh my God, this is a grandfather's item!"

The duck's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "In recent years, there have been no big products in the mountains. The people in the mountains come in to trap wild animals, and the traps they use are not so big. I heard from my grandfather that in the past, those people hunted Siberian tigers and giant bears.

I only use this thing. In fact, Siberian tigers don’t need this thing. Common horses and bears rarely use this thing. If this thing is caught, the meat and bones will basically be scrapped at once. Not to mention the skin is not intact, and it is soaked with blood and water.

If the meat is inside, it will be inedible and at least one of the bear's paws will be destroyed. That thing is very valuable, so people only use this kind of clamp when they find giant bears weighing over a thousand kilograms."

Horse bears are brown bears. The big brown bears in Changbai Mountain can indeed grow to five or six hundred kilograms, but they are rare. Those things are too scary...

Lao Bai said to the duck with a dark face: "Thank you, brother. I owe you a life. Damn it, I almost stuck my head in just now. If I have to pinch it, can I still live?"

Duck is a real person, as if he was still frightened when he couldn't see Lao Bai. He grinned with his white teeth and said, "I'm sure you won't survive. I bet that if you really pinch me, your head will be crushed, and at least your brains will be smashed."

It can spray one or two meters away!"

The old ghost gestured at the size of Lao Bai's head and said with a smile: "Such a big head can't be beaten by one or two meters. I bet it's three meters away..."

This group of people is so destructive. They don’t care about Lao Bai’s mood at all. They actually just bet on how far Lao Bai’s brains can be sprayed...

Lao Bai was so angry that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting, but there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, don't be ridiculous, this clip is either for catching wild animals or for killing people!!"

Brother Yao Zi didn't know when he walked to the place where Lao Bai fell. After pulling away the fallen leaves, he immediately narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Lao Bai's slipping was not an accident at all, but he stepped into someone else's mechanism.

There is clay buried under the fallen leaves, and the color is that of clay from the river beach. It has a smell, but the smell is not right. Animals will not come. This clay is mixed with rotten leaves, and it is very slippery. If it slips, your head will be stuck in an animal trap.

Have you gone in?"

I pulled open the place where Lao Bai had previously slid, and sure enough, there was a yellowish-reddish clay belt underneath, like a slide...

Lao Bai's nerve structure has always been very strange. He almost lost his life just now. Now he came to his senses and said immediately: "I said it is so silky, just like the stockings on that little girl's thighs..."

Needless to say, these murderous mechanisms must have been set up by gold diggers.

"Now it's clear, we've found the right place."

I put away the map in my hand and said, "But it seems they don't like us outsiders coming here..."

I naturally said this to Qian Guangqi.

When Qian Guangqi saw me squinting at him, he sighed: "They instigated Fang Erwa to kill people. I don't care about this matter. I will handle it according to your rules!"

I smiled and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

After being hit by such a trick, we were very careful next. Yuwenda and I were watching the road ahead, looking for hidden traps.

These gold diggers in the mountains have been here since the late Qing Dynasty. They have been working hard to find the main gold veins. They have already turned the surrounding mountains into iron barrels. If they are not familiar with the roads, ordinary people may not be able to enter the valley.

, along the way, almost every dozens of steps, we can find some killing mechanisms, strong bows and crossbows hidden in the trees. As long as they kick the hidden thread hidden in the fallen leaves, they will be activated immediately. It is a must.

Shoot people into hedgehogs, and there are even more animal traps buried in fallen leaves...

However, whether it is a wooden stick with sharpened arrows inserted in the animal trap, or the arrowhead on a strong bow and crossbow, they are all rubbed with poison, but this is not a method of hunting animals, as Brother Yaozi said.

, this is used to kill people!!

After successfully dismantling or avoiding dozens or hundreds of traps, we finally entered the valley.

There was too much delay along the way and we entered the valley later than expected, almost midnight.

The trees in the valley are becoming more and more dense. There is no wind, and the faint sound of "gurgling" water can be heard.

“There is a river!!”

Qian Guangqi wiped the sweat from his face, his eyes were bright, and he said: "Look along the river!!"

Regarding this main gold vein in the mountain, both us and the officials have a lot of speculations.

The gold vein in Binghu Village is just a branch, which is alluvial gold. Based on this, 80% of the main gold vein is also alluvial gold, and there is more alluvial gold than in the river. But I don’t know if the river not far from us now has anything to do with the main gold vein.

, but judging from how well the gold diggers protected this place, it may have a lot to do with it, and the ruins of Huixi should be nearby. If we find those gold diggers, everything will be easily solved.

And 80% of them live along the water veins.

With this understanding, we followed the sound of water and soon saw the river. It was not very wide. The surface of the river was only three or four meters long, but the water was not shallow. There was a lot of clay on the river beach.

The clay that killed Lao Bai should have come from here.

The map provided by Big Shopkeeper Hu Men only points to this area. After that, the map is completely useless, and we have to rely on ourselves for the rest.

For the sake of safety, we did not split up. Anyway, we had been delaying this matter for too long. We were not afraid to be more cautious. We leaned against the river beach to wash our faces and refresh ourselves. After identifying the direction of the river, we started to head towards

Walk upstream.

This is what Qian Guangqi learned after consulting some people. Generally, if there are gold-producing rocks in the upper reaches, then alluvial gold can be found in the Quaternary strata downstream. This gold vein in Changbai Mountain is too big, and the main gold vein

The possibility is highest in the upstream.

Sure enough, within an hour or so of walking upstream, an extremely open river beach came into view.

It's not that there are gold-producing rocks on this river beach, but... there are obvious living facilities here!!

There are some air-drying meat racks built with wood, some charcoal left over from burning campfires, and even some tanned animal skins being dried.

Beyond these, there are towering mountains. You can see dark blue rock formations with extremely strong structures. A huge cave is right here!!

Who else could be here in these deep mountains and old forests?

Descendants of those gold diggers who came here in the late Qing Dynasty!!!

"Touch it in!!"

My master shouted in a low voice: "Capture someone first before proceeding. If there is resistance, kill him!!"

…

(Yesterday I was struggling to be discharged from the hospital. My family and the doctor jointly suppressed me. They said that the problem I had this time was caused by running away without taking good care of the surgery some time ago. If I don’t take care of it properly, the consequences will be quite serious. My mother was furious.

They confiscated my computer. To be honest, I am not weak, but my mother is weak, and I will be weak for the rest of my life. So... the early discharge plan was ruined. It seemed that they planned to let me stay for another day.
