Li Du was helpless when he saw that the child was crying and attracted the attention of the people around him.
He put down Ah Miao and nodded to Ah Ao, "Come on, let's perform."
Taking a piece of jerky, he threw it up casually, Ah Ao jumped up and opened his mouth to catch the jerky, swiftly.
The child was still crying, so Li Du had no choice but to throw another piece, and Ah Ao wanted to jump up to pick up the preserved meat. This time, Ah Meow took the lead, showing its amazing bounce, and jumped up to grab the dried fruit.
Li Du continued to throw, he threw it higher, and Ah Ao jumped up and couldn't reach it. When it jumped up, Ah Miao's eyes were quick and his claws were quick. One jump first jumped onto Ah Ao's body, and then another two came out with his strength. Taking off for the first time, he took the preserved fruit that had just started to fall into his mouth.
Seeing its crisp and unrestrained movements, the children's eyes widened, and no one cried now.
Big Mark Love and Brother Wolf also stared wide-eyed. Li Du waved his hands and said, "What are you looking at? Routine operation, hurry up, and I will have nothing to do if I cry again!"
When they returned to the hotel, the boss, Maung Juexin, came and brought them a steaming breakfast.
"My wife made the glutinous rice cake by herself. My younger brother grinds the tofu nao. I added chili pepper and soy sauce. How about you try it?" Maung Juexin said enthusiastically.
Li Du clasped his hands together and thanked him. The boss gave him the warmth of being at home. Brothers Marklov made a contribution this time.
The two brothers not only found this good place, but also communicated with the boss during the meal, which gradually elicited their purpose: "...Mayor, you are not far from Pagan. Is there no jade mine here?"
Maung Juexin frowned after eating the glutinous rice cake. He pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, we are not far away, but the journey to the jade mine is limited. We haven't found any emerald mine here."
He thought about it again, and said: "You can't say that. I am the mayor of the town. Looking at the ancient books, it seems that the local area did produce emeralds, but this is a taboo topic in the local area. Everyone deliberately avoided it."
After hearing this, Li Du asked strangely: "What's going on?"
Maung Juexin took another piece of glutinous rice cake, he fell silent, squatting aside without saying a word.
Li Du didn't urge him, knowing what he was thinking.
After eating this piece of glutinous rice cake, Maung Juexin clapped his hands and said: "Boss Li, it stands to reason that you are a distinguished guest, and Brother Marklov is the savior of our family. I shouldn't hide anything from you, but some things are It's the town's rules, and I'm not good at breaking them."
Little Marklov frowned in dissatisfaction. He wanted to persuade Maung Juexin, but Li Du shook his head to stop him, and said politely: "I understand you, mayor, if I violate your privacy, please forgive me. "
Maung Juexin waved his hand and said, "Ah, Boss Li, it's not like this, it's just that some things are really inconvenient to say, I'm sorry."
He didn't say anything later, and after everyone finished breakfast, he took his wife and daughter to pack up and go to the kitchen to wash.
Little Marklov murmured, "Playing tricks."
Brother Wolf shook his head and said, "He doesn't want to associate his town with Jadeite."
Li Du also understands this point. Just look at Pagan, which looks prosperous but is actually chaotic and impoverished. These gems are not the key to getting rich for a town, but may destroy everything in the town.
The resource curse theory is not a superstition, it is a paradox that developing countries cannot break through so far.
After breakfast, he went to the street. At this time, the morning market had dispersed, and every household came out to clean the door. The town was not big and not prosperous, but the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and people lived here in peace and contentment.
If the emerald mine is discovered now, the beauty of the town will be destroyed immediately, and the simple folk customs of the place will also be broken.
But when he came to Hongshawadi and Wuku Town, his purpose was to find the emerald veins. Now he is in front of the mines. According to the mayor, they have never mined jade here in history, so the mines are probably hidden underground.
When no one was around, he took out the terrain jade carving and looked at the direction of the mineral veins.
When the jade carving was born, there was no modern mine detection technology, so the specific location, length and storage capacity of the emerald veins are not marked on the jade carving.
What is certain is that the jade carving is at the foot of a certain mountain in De Nai Mountain, and you can find it along the foot of the mountain.
Originally, he thought it was impossible for this kind of thing to have no news in history. When he came to the local area, he asked the old man to find out, and he could always find some clues, and then follow the clues, and maybe he could find the mine.
Now that the plan has been shattered, Maung Juexin should know something about the local jade mines, but he obviously won't tell them.
Li Du decided to explore the road by himself, so he took everyone with him and set off.
Wuku Town is located at the foot of the mountain, but there is still a distance away from Denai Mountain. After all, due to climate and environmental problems in Hongshawadi, mudslides may occur on the mountain. If the town is to be safe, it must keep a distance.
However, there is a road to find from the town to De Nai Mountain, and it takes less than ten minutes to drive there.
Denai Mountain is an ordinary hill, running from east to west, with a length of about 20 kilometers, and the highest peak is only about 100 meters above sea level.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Du found an open space to park his car, and then signaled the crowd to disperse and search along the foot of the mountain to see if they could come across any traces of ore. Judging from the information left by the hidden treasure jade carving, the mine is located It's not far from here.
It's a pity that the jade carving is too small, and the dot shown on it is a large mountain in reality, and it is impossible to accurately indicate the location of the mine.
The car of Little Marklov and others came behind. They had other tasks in the town before, which was to continue to inquire about the local news about jade.
After getting out of the car, the Marklove brothers shook their heads: "Boss, no, we asked a few people, and as long as this topic is mentioned, they will immediately change their faces and leave."
The little Marklov said helplessly: "Fack, the only person who talked to us about the emerald veins was to tell us to shut up quickly, saying that there are no emerald veins here, only the tomb of the devil. Farke, superstitious!"
Li Du nodded and said: "It seems that this topic is taboo in the local area, so don't inquire about it. Let's take a stroll by the mountain and see if we can find anything."
Everyone separated, two teams searched along the foot of the mountain.
Li Du and Brother Lang were in a team, leading a few little guys to walk up the mountain along the mountain road.
The bear kids had been suffocating in the hotel in Pagan before, but they were too suffocated. Now that they returned to the forest, they suddenly became jubilant and tossed happily.
Ah Bai quickly climbed up a tree, grabbed the branches and swayed among several trees.
Ah Miao followed behind maliciously, suddenly jumped up and hit a branch that Ah Bai had just grabbed.
The branch was overwhelmed and broke suddenly, and Ah Bai screamed in fright. Fortunately, it was good at climbing by nature, so it turned around and grabbed the branch next to it, so it didn't fall.
But Ah Bai was frightened and became angry. Ah Miao was so proud of her prank, she lay on the branch and meowed.
Ah Bai looked left and right, found a pine cone and threw it over.
