Chapter 8 The Reason For Going Up The Mountain
Chapter 8 The Reason For Going Up The Mountain
When Jiang Yize woke up, the sky had completely cleared.
On the first day of the new year, there was no snow, and a fire was lit outside the tent. Chen Ke and others were already busy with breakfast.
Breakfast, in fact, is to defrost the frozen bang bang hard dry food, and then eat two bites of yak meat.
The boiling point of water on the plateau is low, and all the food is prepared in advance.
Jiang Yize mixed with the crowd drinking hot soup and eating hard yak meat, thinking that such a day seems to be a good one.
And Chen Ke interrupted Jiang Yize who was still in a daze:
"Little brother, what do you say next? Are you going on the road alone, or are you going with us?"
Last night, Chen Ke and the others slept very deeply for some reason.
Logically, they had to be careful to prevent this stranger from stealing their things.
This caused them to be startled when they got up early in the morning, but they touched their pockets and found that there was not a single piece of jade in it.
Look at Jiang Yize again, sleeping sweetly curled up in a corner.
Everyone laughed and didn't wake him up.
This kid can get along, and if he can walk with him, he can also relieve his boredom.
By the way, it can also help him, preventing him from being unfamiliar with the place and explaining in the valley where he is.
And Jiang Yize's mind was full of what might happen between Dad and Queen Mother Xi. Now that he was awake, he didn't know what to look for next.
Simply, he agreed:
"Then thank you big brothers, brother, I'll do the dishes today!"
Chen Kexiao
Hehe handed over the bowl:
"Go, wipe off with a ball of snow, and we can go on the road."
The jade digger's tent was put away, and Jiang Yize was also assigned a package, which was not heavy.
Afterwards, the group began to continue heading towards the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.
The so-called jade diggers can even be said to be jade pickers.
The Kunlun Mountains are covered with snow all the year round, and under the snow-covered surface, there is a jade vein hidden somewhere.
Chen Ke was bored on the road, and told Jiang Yize that it is said that a hundred years ago, someone came to Kunlun for large-scale mining and dug out many jade veins.
And what they have to do is actually to find the leftovers of these jade veins.
How much jade this group of people can dig up depends on luck.
Along the way, they stopped every five kilometers, cleared the snow from the surrounding ground, carefully observed the ground, and checked for traces of human activities.
This made Jiang Yize very puzzled.
And Chen Ke's explanation is:
A hundred years ago, among the large number of people who mined jade mines, there were many ordinary people, and the place where these ordinary people lived in Kunlun must be the place closest to the jade mines.
For this reason, as long as traces of human life are found, it is not far from finding mineral veins.
Another theory is that the results of mining were not very good. Many people were buried in this snow-capped mountain, and many jade stones were not shipped out.
And they can occasionally find a few pieces of jade scattered on the ground, which can be sold at the foot of the mountain.
a good price.
However, when the good price was mentioned, Chen Ke's face became obviously darker.
Jiang Yize has some doubts:
"Brother, why are you not happy when you mention that you sold it at a good price?"
Chen Ke was silent, but Xiao Qiang, who was next to Chen Ke who didn't talk much, said:
"It's expensive, and it's not for us...that group of rotten-ass supernatural beings..."
It wasn't until Xiao Qiang finished speaking that Jiang Yize understood:
It turns out that exploitation is regardless of the occasion, as long as there are people there.
These jades can indeed be sold at a good price.
However, only 10% of them can get into their hands.
Ten percent, with so many of them sharing, they still need to meet a year's supplies, barely able to make ends meet.
At the foot of the mountain there is a local snake named Luosang, who monopolizes the jade business in the entire Kunlun Mountains.
When the aristocratic family came to buy jade, they had to go through his hands.
Anyone who secretly sold jade to the children of the aristocratic family without his hands would be retaliated by Lausanne.
A beating can range from a beating to a serious threat to personal safety.
Jiang Yize made a good plan, and when the time comes to go down the mountain, he will solve this problem in Lausanne.
And Chen Ke cursed for a while and then said:
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, little brother, how did your father go up the mountain?"
Jiang Yize thought about it, and said with some regret:
"It should be that he was chilled..."
Seeing Jiang Yize's sad expression, Chen Ke quickly laughed and said:
"It's a coincidence, my father went up the mountain just to keep people from feeling cold..."
