The elder brother of the miner heard Xiao Qiang's surprised inquiry. He seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. He laughed awkwardly and shut up.
Xiao Qiang where may let him muddle through like this, the black ore in his mouth really aroused his interest, but also brought him new ideas. Yes, the mountain area near Yongle Town is so vast. Who stipulates that only in the mountain bay of the state-owned mining area can there be the exploitation of topaz? As long as you find the vein of topaz, you can mine anywhere in the deep mountains and forests! If someone really secretly blows up a mine in the deep mountain and finds the vein, then it will naturally form a black mine and secretly dig it out for sale!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his eyes brightened, and the mystery he had been puzzling for a long time was about to be solved. There is only one possibility if there are so many high-quality rough ore materials in the gambling quarry that are not sold from this regular mine. Xiao Zhiwei and Xu Jian found a new vein in the mountainous area rich in Huanghua jade, and secretly mined and sold it through the gambling quarry!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qiang quickly took out a bag of good cigarettes in his pocket, handed them to him and whispered, "brother, I'm new here. I have a sick sister in my family who needs medical treatment and two elders who need filial piety. I really want to earn more money. Can you tell me something about the black mine?"
"This..." the miner hesitated to take the cigarette, lit it and smoked twice. "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you this, but that there's really no way to go there. It's not that those who engage in black mining are good at it. If one can't get the money, maybe he won't get it! I advise you not to go if you really can't help it, you know? "
"Brother, I'm really desperate to be a miner in the mining area. Since there is a faster way to make money, I'm willing to try. My sister's operation cost is tens of thousands, I really have no way to save money! " Xiao Qiang deliberately found an excuse and said angrily, "brother, please tell me about the black mine. I promise I won't tell you!"
The miner looked at Xiao Qiang and hesitated. After the meeting, he said, "Nah, little brother, don't blame me for not reminding you that if you want to work in that kind of place, you have to think about it carefully. I don't mind going, but if you really want to fight for money, I have nothing to say. This black mine... In fact, it has been circulating among the workers in the mining field for some time. It is said that in the deep mountains to the north of the mining area, some mysterious bosses hired people to open a mine secretly and dug a huanghuayu vein in it. So they always wanted to recruit skilled miners to dig there, and the treatment was many times that of the mining field. I didn't know before. Later, two brothers in the same group lost all their money because of gambling. They were forced to disappear quietly. They went to the black mine over there and worked hard to pay off their debts. "
"In the mountains north of the mine?" Xiao Qiang thought about the location, pointed to the north and said, "is it over there?"
"It should be. It's said that you can go more than ten miles north and cross two mountains, but I don't know exactly where it is." The miner whispered, "this position was told to me by a guy later when he came back. Because it is mysterious, we all call it mysterious black mine."
"Such a thing..." Xiao Qiang nodded his understanding, and said strangely, "brother, I don't understand. Don't all the huanghuayu veins in this mountain area belong to the state? Why is it that no one is in charge of private mining in the mountains? Is there no one going to the town government to sue them for mining without permission? "
"Hi! Tell them that if they want to be useful, how dare they open up black mines to sell ore? Pull it down. As long as you have money these days, you can stop the officials. It must be the boss who runs the black mine who makes the officials in the town comfortable. They have to take care of the ghosts. " The miner said with a cynical expression, "pity us miners. We work day and night with our meager salary, but those bosses are good. If we open a mine in the mountains, we can make money. Ah, people are so angry!"
Xiao Qiang smiles and doesn't reply. He also knows that the elder brother of the miner is venting his dissatisfaction, so he feels that the society is full of darkness. Of course, what he said may not be right. The black mine is still safe and sound. It's certain that someone in the government is taking care of him. Of course, it can't be said that a rat excrement in a bowl of good porridge is black and smelly. It just makes people lose their appetite and trust.
Everything is not absolute. No matter what mistakes have been made in the management of the town, at least the black mine is real. Otherwise, the elder brother of the miner would not speak so confidently. Xiao Qiang did not expect that he had quietly entered the mining area in order to find some clues, but unexpectedly got such a news. In this case, it was no longer necessary to stay here. He immediately decided to go to the deep mountain black mine to have a look and seize the evidence to catch all these guys.
After another chat with the miner's elder brother, Xiao Qiang gets up to say goodbye and leaves quickly outside the mining area without looking back. After taking off the miner's clothes and climbing over the barbed wire fence, he went out of the mine and walked along the mountain road to the north.
Although he was walking on a mountain road with only a small path, Xiao Qiang was walking on the flat ground. His walking speed was not slow. He quickly climbed over a big mountain and entered into a remote mountain. As he walked, he looked to the north in the distance, but he was puzzled. If the black ore really opened in the deep mountains, how did they transport the ore out?
You know, wool is usually very heavy. It weighs more than ten kilos or even tens of kilos. It can hardly be transported by manpower. But there is no highway in the mountains and forests. If it is really transported by pure manpower, how many talents will it take? It's too slow, isn't it? But if we really rely on automobile transportation, even pure off-road vehicles can't cross mountains without roads, right?
This question has been around in Xiao Qiang's mind, but it can't be solved for the moment. He didn't think much about it. As Xiao Qiang gradually went farther and farther, he spent more than an hour climbing over two mountains to reach the range of more than ten li mountain road as the miner said. But when he looked at it from the mountain, he found that the distance was a little steep, because there were mountains all around, and the area was too wide to see any trace of black ore.
Xiao Qiang is a little silly now, and he doesn't know what to do. It is true that the black ore is hidden in such a large range of mountains and forests, even if it is really hard to find. Moreover, it's day and not night. If it's night, there may be lights to locate him. Now it's hard to find a figure in such a large mountain forest.
Just when he was a little frustrated, suddenly Xiao Qiang's vision found that in a gully at the foot of the mountain, there was a lot of small dots like a black line moving slowly, which made him feel as if he had found an organization all of a sudden, and his heart was full of joy!
Xiao Qiang was very clear about what the lines of black dots in the valley represented. What else could there be except people when he saw so many things gathered together in the deep mountains and forests? Obviously, it's a transportation team of ore and raw materials!
