Siheyuan: Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 165: Banggen Gold Rush

On the other side, the convoy that Banggeng was following had arrived at the designated location, and the goods were received by a group of soldiers.

He didn't go forward to inquire about the situation. He knew that sometimes the things being transported were confidential, and he didn't want to be checked.

After the handover was completed, the captain came back with a young soldier and said, "Get in the car and take down your belongings. We are going to stay here for a few days this time."

"They just drive the car to deliver the goods, and then send the car back so we can go back."

"They will arrange food and accommodation for us here. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Everyone in the team asked some questions. When it was Banggeng's turn, he asked, "I see there's a river not far from here. Can I go take a bath there? I stink after being in the car for these days!"

The little soldier said: "Okay, you can move freely these two days, but don't go too far."

"Also, the water is a little cold now. If you're not afraid of the cold, go ahead and take a shower. If you get sick, don't come to me."

"By the way, if you want to take a shower or wash your clothes, go downstream. You should know that the water we drink is the water in the river in front of us. You don't want to drink the water you use to wash your butt, right?"

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, follow me if you have no problem. I will arrange a room for you."

After arranging the house, Bang Geng saw a shovel in the yard and said, "Here is a shovel. Can I use it?"

The young soldier asked in confusion, "What are you using the shovel for?"

"I saw that both sides of the river were covered with sand. I used a shovel to dig a hole and then led the water in. In this way, the water in the hole would be stagnant. By noon, the water temperature should be much higher than that of the river water."

The young soldier was stunned and said, "I have never tried this. Go ahead. If it works, come back and tell me."

"no problem!"

After saying that, he took a shovel and went to the river. He saw a small sand dune about 80 meters downstream. He couldn't see what was behind it, so it was a good place.

When he came to the sand dunes and took a look, his eyes lit up. The river made a big turn here, and this kind of place was most likely to have gold.

He found a spot and started digging, and soon he had dug a big hole.

He wiped the sweat off his face and put the flowing water from the stream into the pot.

Banggeng came to the sand dune and looked around. Seeing no one there, he quickly took out four very thin camphor wood boards from his bag and immediately assembled them into a gold-panning wooden bucket.

He immediately filled the bucket with some of the sand he had just dug, went to the river, and started shaking it back and forth. Soon, only a little bit of the sand was left.

Banggeng picked up the wooden gold panning bucket and carefully looked at the remaining mud and sand inside. After a while, he found a bright golden spot.

He was so excited that he almost jumped up. Although the bright spot was only the size of a millet grain, there was indeed gold here!

When Banggeng knew there was gold, he started working quickly. After half an hour, he stopped.

Then he poured the collected gold sand into a small medicine bottle, packed up his things and returned to his house.

When I entered the room, I found that the young soldier had gone somewhere and everyone who came with him was lying on the kang and snoring.

Banggeng put his things away and lay down on the kang to sleep. When it was noon, the young soldier brought some food and saw that everyone was still sleeping, so he woke up a few of them.

When the stick got up, the little soldier asked: "What do you think of this method?"

Bang Geng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I haven't been there since I dug the pit!"

“By the way, are there any fish in this river?”

"Yes, we have some common fish. If you are interested, you can go and try them."

The little soldier waited until the stick was finished and said, "Let's go and see how the pit you dug is."

"Okay, let's go. If it's hot, it's a good time to take a shower."

After saying that, Banggeng took a bar of soap and a towel and put them in his bag, then he and the little soldier went behind the sand dune.

The little soldier said: "Your position is pretty good! You can't see anyone over there when you take a shower."

After saying that, he put his hand in the water and then tested the water temperature in the river.

"That's great! It would have been much hotter in the past hour! But it's comfortable enough for a bath at this temperature!"

"But the water in the pit is not as clean as the water in the river."

Bang Geng nodded and said, "That's right!"

"You can only rinse in the upper river after washing! You'll be here for a long time, so you can find a place to build a pool!"

"I see you care so much about this, why don't you wash it first?"

The young soldier smiled and said, "You wash it! I just want to understand the situation."

"Oh, that's okay!"

After saying that, Bang Geng started to take off his clothes. The little soldier didn't bother him anymore and just walked back.

After the little soldier left, Banggeng started looking for a place to dig a hole again. This time the hole was deeper, more than one meter deep.

He dug a hole and put water in it, then found the wooden bucket he had buried and started panning for gold. He dug a total of seven holes before he stopped and took a bath.

After washing, he endured the coolness of the river water, rinsed his body clean, changed into the clothes he brought, and then washed his clothes. After everything was done, he returned to where he lived.

Li Ning from the security department said, "Bang Geng, why does it take you so long to take a shower?"

"Captain, I washed some clothes and dug seven more pits. I thought if you guys wanted to take a shower, you could just go over there."

"You are so sensible, kid! I took good care of you!"

"Okay, let's go wash up too. We can't let Banggeng down."

By the way, Captain Li, the water in the pit doesn’t look clean, but you can just rinse it in the river after washing.

"Okay, I get it, let's go."

After Banggeng was brought to the group, he returned to his residence, hid the gold he had dug up in his backpack, and poured out the medicine bottle.

Banggeng's three years of experience working in a gold mine told him that the gold was now worth at least four to five hundred yuan.

How long did it take him? If he could work hard, he could earn one or two thousand yuan a day.

What does this mean? In the past, an old man had a monthly salary of 99 yuan. How many months did he have to work? He could earn that much in one day!

What a pity! The gold content here is very high, and I dare not do it on a large scale.

"This is indeed a good place. I'll have to take a good look when I get back. I'll see if there's any hidden place. I'll definitely come here and work for a month when I get a chance. By then, I'll earn tens of thousands of dollars and go back to get married!"

In the courtyard, it was evening. Ye Shu ate a tea egg and said, "Not bad! It's just a little short! If it had more flavor, it would have tasted better!"
