Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1349 Looking for Meteorite
Zhao Lei searched for a long time, but found nothing but dense vegetation, various insects, and startled birds.

The river valley has low altitude, high temperature, and high humidity. Ordinary people will sweat profusely after a short period of activities in this environment, and the risk of heat stroke is very high.

It didn't take long for the four people to find it, but Wang Jun and the others couldn't hold on any longer, and came to rest by the river one after another, intending to cool off and continue searching for meteorites.

Only Zhao Lei had no intention of resting at all, and continued to drill in and out of the dense jungle, looking for the meteorite that fell here more than 100 years ago.

Seeing Zhao Lei working so hard, Wang Jun couldn't help reminding him worriedly: "Boss Zhao, take a break. The weather is too hot, and you will be in big trouble if you suffer from heat stroke!"

With Zhao Lei's current cultivation level, heat stroke is of course impossible. He just waved to Wang Jun and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I think it's okay, let's look for it a little longer!"

After saying these words, Zhao Lei returned to the woods and went in another direction to look for meteorites.

Seeing this, Meng Er couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly: "It seems that Boss Zhao really wants to find that meteorite!"

Meng Da thought more, and asked Wang Jun in a low voice: "If Boss Zhao finds that meteorite himself, how will the money be calculated?"

Wang Jun smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Boss Jiang has already made an agreement with me. As long as you bring Boss Zhao to the river valley, whoever finds the meteorite money will get it!"

"I'm relieved." Meng Daqing breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly continued: "Even so, we can't be lazy, let's help Boss Zhao find it together after a short break!"

In fact, whether Wang Jun and others help to find the meteorite does not have much impact on Zhao Lei.Before he set off, he knew that Jiang Xudong hadn't found the exact location of the meteorite, so he made some preparations and brought Xiao Huihui along with him.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Lei released the gray parrot from the gourd space with a thought, and whispered: "Quick, go find any big rocks or other strange objects nearby!"

"Big rock, ah, big rock!" The clever little Huihui immediately understood what his master meant, and flew into mid-air to observe while shouting.

The reason why Zhao Lei brought the gray parrot was to use it as a drone for aerial reconnaissance.Compared with drones, there are undoubtedly more small gray ones.First of all, there is no need to prepare batteries for the gray parrot, and there is no need for a person to control the gray parrot. The gray parrot can also find suspicious places on the ground by itself, which is much more convenient to use than a drone.

Xiao Huihui flew higher and higher over the valley, and soon turned into a small black dot.Although people on the ground could no longer see the gray parrot clearly, it relied on the bird's keen vision to search the entire area for its owner.

Facts proved that Zhao Lei's decision to bring Xiao Huihui was very correct. It didn't take long for it to discover something. It folded its wings and swooped down from mid-air, landed firmly on Zhao Lei's shoulder, and shouted loudly: "Across the river, ah, Across the river!"

"So it's on the opposite side of the river. No wonder I haven't found anything after searching here for a long time!" Zhao Lei nodded with satisfaction, then put the gray parrot into the gourd space, and then went to find Wang Jun and others.

Wang Jun and the others also began to search for meteorites. After seeing Zhao Lei, Meng Er immediately asked him, "Mr. Zhao, were you talking to us just now?"

Zhao Lei knew that Wang Jun and the others must have heard Xiao Huihui's voice, so he just smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I want to tell you that I plan to go to the other side of the river to try my luck."

As soon as Zhao Lei said these words, Wang Jun and others all showed surprise.Several people exchanged glances, and finally Wang Jun whispered: "Boss Zhao, I think...there is no need to go to the other side of the river!"

The reaction of the three people was beyond Zhao Lei's expectation. After all, the money can only be obtained by finding the meteorite. Why did they not agree to cross the river? Isn't this equivalent to giving up the opportunity to make money?
This surprised Zhao Lei, and couldn't help asking in a deep voice, "What's going on here?"

At first, the three of them looked at each other, and none of them said a word. In the end, Meng Er, who had the most straightforward personality, told Zhao Lei: "Boss Zhao, don't you know that the other side of the river...is not very peaceful!"

Now that Meng Er said so, Wang Jun no longer concealed it, and whispered to Zhao Lei: "The other side of the river is already close to the border line, and there are often people coming from the other side...to do business, it would be bad if they bumped into it. Robbery is still a trivial matter, maybe... maybe even life is in danger."

Hearing what Wang Jun said, Zhao Lei also understood a little bit.On the other side of the border is Myanmar, and the people who come over there must not be doing serious business.If found by these people, it is very likely that they will be killed and silenced.

But honest locals like Wang Jun are afraid of those guys, but it doesn't mean that Zhao Lei is also afraid.What's more, Xiao Huihui has already said that the meteorite is likely to be on the other side of the river, and he must go there to have a look.

So although Wang Jun and others tried their best to persuade Zhao Lei not to cross the river, he still insisted on his own opinion and said that he must go and have a look.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei, who had always been easy to talk before, suddenly became so stubborn. Wang Jun could only grimace and said, "Boss Zhao has already made a decision, so we have to risk our lives to accompany the gentleman and cross the river with you!"

Although the Meng family brothers also had bitter faces, they all nodded silently, expressing their willingness to advance and retreat with Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei was a little surprised by the statements of the guides. He didn't expect these villagers to be so honest. They knew that doing so would be dangerous, but they were still willing to cross the river with him.

In fact, Zhao Lei didn't want Wang Jun and the others to follow him all the time, so he immediately shook his head righteously and said, "Since crossing the river is dangerous, then you don't have to follow me, just wait for me on the river side!"

Wang Jun asked anxiously: "How can this be done? We brought you to the mountains, and we will bring you back safely. Otherwise, how can we explain to Boss Jiang?"

"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself!" Zhao Lei said confidently, "You guys are waiting for me on this side of the river, no matter whether I can find the meteorite or not after crossing the river, I promise that you will be paid no less! "

Hearing what Zhao Lei said, Wang Jun and others were a little moved.After all, crossing the river is dangerous, and as long as you stay on this side of the river, you can still get money. Everyone knows how to choose.

Seeing that Wang Jun and the others had wavered, Zhao Lei hurriedly hit the rails while the heat was hot: "That's it, I'll be back in two or three days at most, you just wait here for me!"

After saying this, Zhao Lei didn't give Wang Jun and others a chance to stop him, turned around and walked into the river, and swam towards the opposite bank leisurely.
