Chapter 1091 Gold Mine

A mine that can dig out gold.

Gold mine?

This is really the first time I heard about it, and it reminds me of TV dramas about gold mining.

The attraction of gold is huge and fatal.

In the face of huge interests, how many people can withstand the test of human nature?

Brothers turn against each other, husbands and wives become enemies, the list goes on and on.

"Has anyone ever found this place? After all, gold mines are real." I asked.

"Of course not!" Uncle Cui said seriously, his expression extremely disgusted, "There is no such place in this world."

"Can gold be dug up casually? If it were so easy, how could gold be so valuable?"

"That's true, but it's groundless. Where did this statement come from? It doesn't rule out that we do have a gold mine here." I looked around and said.

Lao Cui paused for a moment, looked at me hard, and said in a bad tone: "Xiao Li, are you just looking for some gold?"

"Of course not, Uncle Cui. Although I am not rich, I am not the kind of person who is greedy for money." I explained.

"You still want to know where my father is. He has come here. If you can find him and let his body return to its roots, that would be the best, right?"

"Yes, you are a good boy. Uncle Cui wrongly blamed you. But don't blame Uncle Cui for being careless. It was really too tragic what happened back then."

"Miners can make money, but it's really hard. Ever since I heard there was a gold mine in this area, many workers have become upset."

"I didn't go to work all day long. I just wandered around this mountain and dug around, as if I was following the magic."

"I don't even care about my wife and children."

“I don’t know who is spreading the rumors to harm people!”

It can be heard that Uncle Cui is very disgusted.

"Then how did this rumor come out? Did anyone really see something?" I asked again.

"I don't know who first spread the news. I am a relatively late worker here. I heard from the old brothers that when someone was leaving the night shift, they saw a golden light coming from a place on the mountain."

"Some people said it was gold. They ran over to look at it on the spot, but they couldn't find it. When they went up, the golden light was gone."

Uncle Cui looked up at the gray sky again.

"Let's not talk about this. Anyway, even if your father is looking for a gold mine, it will be in this mountain. If you worship him here, it is not in vain."

"Brothers, we've almost eaten. Let's go down the mountain quickly. Don't stay here too long."

Uncle Cui put on his coat and looked a little cold.

The wind on this mountain has never stopped. The old man would easily catch a cold if it blows for a long time, so I didn’t ask any more questions.

Help him walk down the mountain.

Anyway, it's confirmed that the gold mine is in this mountain. Send him home and I'll come over and look for it slowly.

Follow the trail we came from.

But the strange thing is that after walking for more than half an hour, he is still spinning in circles.

The foot of the mountain is clearly right in front of us, but we just can't get past it.

"Oops, I'm not trapped here." Uncle Cui stamped his foot anxiously, "Hey, if I had known better, I shouldn't have brought you here today. I should have looked at the sun before going out."

"Uncle, don't worry, maybe we are going the wrong way." I comforted Uncle Cui to prevent him from getting into trouble.

It's just a ghost beating a wall, which is trivial to me.

So many people died in the mining accident back then, so it's normal to feel a little resentful.

"Wrong road? Aren't these the footprints we just came up from?" Uncle Cui looked at the footprints in the grass with confusion on his face.

"Uncle, you sit here for a while and I'll call my two cats back. Animals are different from people. Animals know their way around."

I asked Uncle Cui to sit down, took two steps forward and shouted around.

In fact, he quietly took out the black umbrella, pushed the scabbard open with his thumb, and the evil spirit floated out.

There was a faint coldness receding invisibly, and only I could detect it.

"Prosperous wealth, rich man!"

"Is that the name of your cat? Forget about the fat one, why is the white one so beautiful and named like this? It's such a shame." Uncle Cui complained.

"A name is just a title, don't take it too seriously."

There was rustling movement in the grass, and I thought it was the two cats coming back and preparing to go down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, a shaggy head popped out of the grass.

Uncle Cui was shocked.

"what?"

I frowned, a cold aura spread out from my body, my head trembled, and I shrank back.

I took a closer look and saw that he was a beggar-like person.

With a head of hair that could easily make a nest for a bird, he squatted in the grass and looked at us timidly with his eyes.

"Uncle Cui, don't be afraid, he is a human being."

"How come there are still people in this barren mountain?"

Uncle Cui stood up from the stone and looked at the beggar curiously.

His clothes were in tatters, with several layers worn haphazardly, and they were covered with dead branches and leaves and stains.

He is quite small, yellow and thin, and he cannot tell whether he is male or female. Only his eyes are relatively clear.

"Who are you? Why are you here! This place is not good. There is no food. If you want to beg for food, go to the city."

Uncle Cui said kindly.

The little beggar didn't speak, his eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, like a small animal, looking at us blankly.

"Is there something wrong with the head? The poor kid doesn't look very big. Maybe he was thrown away."

Uncle Cui sighed sympathetically.

"Son, follow grandpa and take you to the city to find food."

As he spoke, he put his hands in front of his mouth and made a gesture of planing rice.

The little beggar tilted his head, thought for a while, and actually took out half a dirty steamed bun from the dirty and torn clothes.

He handed it to Uncle Cui very reluctantly.

Uncle Cui was stunned and looked at the little beggar with even more pitiful eyes.

"What a good boy, Xiao Li. Please help me take him down the mountain and send him to the police station."

"Okay." I agreed readily, but I was still wary of this beggar who suddenly appeared.

This mountain is still dozens of kilometers away from the county seat, and there are no homes around. How can a beggar make a living in a place like this?

It just happened to appear when the ghost wall was cracked.

Moreover, the thing in his hand is a steamed bun.

It was obviously brought from outside.

"Child, do you understand what this grandpa said? It's not that grandpa is hungry, he is giving you something delicious to eat. Come down the mountain with us, okay?"

I smiled kindly at the little beggar.

The little beggar tilted his head, blinked his eyes, stared at me several times, and suddenly showed a big smile.

He smiled stupidly and stretched out his dirty hands towards me.

I was stunned for a moment, held his hand, and pulled him up from the grass.

"Then come down the mountain with us."

I led him two steps forward, and he followed me obediently, still looking at me with a silly smile and apparently not objecting.

Just like that, I held the little beggar with one hand and supported Uncle Cui with the other hand, and walked down the mountain.

Not long after, I met two cats. They were hanging lazily on the tree, as if they had been waiting for me for a while.

Seeing the little beggar, Wangcai's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he jumped down from the tree and rushed towards him.
