Holding the calcium carbide lamp, Liu Yueya also squatted down to watch.

One of the pickaxes on the ground was broken, and the other was not only broken but also had a tip.

Wu Guangxu raised the pickaxe and looked carefully at the light, "This is Grandpa's pickaxe!"

Liu Yueya leaned over and saw a thumb-sized "Wu" on the wooden handle of the pickaxe.

"Grandpa's tools are all stamped with the word Wu with a flower chisel (steel seal)."

Wu Chengzu was very careful with his tools back then, and would pick up the wrong tools when there were many people working, so all his tools would be marked.

Liu Yueya looked up at Wu Guangxu, "That means Grandpa discovered this gold mine a long time ago, but he didn't tell you?"

I don't know if I don't want to tell or it's too late to tell.

Now there are two pickaxes here, one is definitely Grandpa Wu's, and the other is unknown.

"But would grandpa throw tools with such obvious marks in the mine?" Liu Yueya expressed doubts about this.

Wu Guangxu didn't make a sound, he was also thinking.

She picked up the rag on the ground, covered her nose and ran to the hole to shake, there was a thick layer of dust on it.

When I opened the hole, I saw a piece of tattered clothes.

It's still the old-fashioned clothes with buttons.

Looking at the holes on it, some were scratched, and some seemed to be knocked by mice one by one, and the original appearance could no longer be seen.

"Daughter-in-law, come and have a look here!"

Liu Yueya hurried over, and Wu Guangxu pointed to a hole in the corner of the wall to show her.

With the light of the calcium carbide lamp in his hand, the hole is about half a meter deep, and the hole is only [-] centimeters in size.

Wu Guangxu asked Liu Yueya to hold the lamp, and took out a small black shovel to dig in.

Picked out a spade of sand and gravel, and looked at it by the light.

The two of them swallowed their saliva at the same time, without sifting through water, the gold particles mixed in the sand are visible to the naked eye!

They are all the size of small corn balls!

It is similar to the small bag of gold found in the vegetable cellar before!

This shovel of sand and soil can be up to two catties, and the corn dregs in it are estimated to be two or three grams!

According to this calculation, it means that the gold content per ton is at least seventy or eighty grams!

Liu Yueya felt a little hot, I rub it, is it so exciting?

Is this gold mine really so magical?There is so much gold in the sand that was dug out of a random cave? !

Wu Guangxu took a black bag in the tool bag, poured this spoonful of gold soil into it, and planned to go back and actually sieve it.

Wu Guangxu looked at the small hole, "Someone must have opened a hole here to try to find the golden pulse, but they didn't go any further."

"You said this would be the hole made by grandpa?"

"Hard to say……"

There is Grandpa Wu's pickaxe here, but I dare not prove that it must have been opened by Grandpa, or it may have been excavated by the first group of prospectors.

Grandpa came and picked up the leak, but it is not impossible for someone to deliberately steal grandpa's tools and come here to confuse the public.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, the cave was unusually quiet, and there was the sound of dripping water from time to time, which felt like a natural reverberation effect would be amplified in the cave.

Various special effects of ghost movies appeared unconsciously in Liu Yueya's mind, and she couldn't help leaning towards Wu Guangxu.

Wu Guangxu smiled when he saw her like this, "Are you scared?"

"Who's scared? I'm just a little cold!" Liu Yueya retorted stiffly.

As an old aunt who liked to watch ghost movies in her previous life, she resolutely never said that she was afraid!

Wu Guangxu reached out and hugged her, "Let's go back, wait for me to come by myself next time!"

Now there is snow all over the mountains and plains outside, and the north wind is still blowing, and the cave is also extremely cold.

"It's okay, I finally came in once, let's take a look again!" Liu Yueya was a little unwilling to give up, and dragged Wu Guangxu to continue searching in the cave.

The area where the cave has been opened is only three to four square meters in size.

Looking at the rocks and sand and gravel clods all around, Liu Yueya knew without asking that mining here would be a very difficult job in the future.

The two packed up the torn clothes and two pickaxes in the cave, and prepared to take them home and study them together.

The two men came out to hide the entrance of the cave again, and found some dry grass and snow to block the traces of the stones being moved.

After all, Wu Guangxu will not be able to mine here for two months, and he can't be discovered yet.

When he got home, Wu Guangxu first weighed the gold and soil, and it weighed about one catty.

Then take out the golden bowl and sift out all the golden soil.

The gold sifted out was weighed again, and it was more than three grams and five coins.

That is to say, the gold content of this piece is at least eighty or ninety grams per ton!

Wu Guangxu blinked and looked at his daughter-in-law beside him.

Liu Yueya also looked at him, "Do you want a hug?"

Wu Guangxu swallowed and nodded.

Liu Yueya stretched out her arms and hugged the "Baby of Wu University" beside her.

Wu Guangxu hugged her tightly.

This is just the beginning of the discovery of sandy soil with such a high gold content, and the situation inside is still unknown.

It is possible that gold veins with higher gold content will be found inside, or they may be equal at most.

Another possibility is that this gold-containing sand is an insurmountable existence!

Wu Guangxu hugged his daughter-in-law for a while, feeling a lot calmer in his heart, "Let's go, let's get something to give Grandpa Du a New Year greeting!"

The two of them brought some eggs and meat to find Mr. Du.

As soon as he entered the yard, Mr. Du was feeding the chickens in the yard.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa Du!"

"Hey, you guys are here! Come in and sit down!"

Mr. Du let the two of them into the house.

Mr. Du lives alone, his wife has been dead for many years, and his only daughter is married to another village, who occasionally comes back to see him.

This old man also has a weird temper, he doesn't usually get in touch with people, so he is quite close to Wu Guangxu, and usually doesn't smile when he sees anyone.

Wu Guangxu and Liu Yueya entered the room and put the things on the table.

Mr. Du poured water for the two of them, "You come here as soon as you say you want, why don't you buy something, I'm half buried and I can't eat anything!"

Wu Guangxu smiled, "If you can't eat it, give it to your grandson!"

After the three chatted for a while, Mr. Du looked at Liu Yueya and asked, "Girl, is your father Liu Yonglu, the second child of the Liu family?"

Liu Yueya nodded, "Yes! Does Grandpa Du know my father?"

"I saw it once. Grandpa Guangxu brought your father to my place. At that time, he introduced to me that he was a friend of the year..."

Wu Guangxu and Liu Yueya looked at each other quickly, without asking anything, then Mr. Du continued, "At that time, Grandpa Guangxu seemed to say that he would introduce your father to a gold mine as a temporary worker, but I don't know what happened afterwards. ... Sigh, it didn't take long for Grandpa Guangxu to... Sigh!"

Liu Yueya didn't answer, not because she didn't want to answer, but because she didn't know whether her father had ever worked in a gold mine.

After all, it was a previous life, and it was so young at that time, so many things were vaguely remembered.
