On this day, Tayun and Niqiu went out for a walk together, and brought a rabbit with them when they came back.
Zhou Ziwen picked up the rabbit and suddenly found that Mud Qiu's mouth was dark for some reason.
"Mudball, what did you do to make your mouth look like this?" Zhou Ziwen curiously dipped a little with his finger.
Zhou Ziwen dipped his finger into a little of the black substance on Mu Qiu's mouth, put it under his nose and smelled it, and felt something in his heart. The smell seemed familiar to him, it seemed to be the smell of coal.
He couldn't help but wonder, there was no coal mine near the village, how could the mud ball be stained with coal?
Zhou Ziwen decided to follow Mu Qiu to find out.
He stood up and called on Mud Ball to lead the way.
Mud Ball seemed to understand what Zhou Ziwen meant and ran ahead happily, looking back from time to time to see if Zhou Ziwen was following.
Along the way, Zhou Ziwen carefully observed the surrounding environment.
They passed through a forest, then passed a meadow, and finally came to a small hillside.
The mud ball stopped at the bottom of the hillside and kept shouting at a certain place.
Zhou Ziwen walked forward and found a small hole on the hillside. There were some black marks on the ground around the hole, as if something had dug it.
Zhou Ziwen squatted down and looked at the hole carefully.
He found some animal hair on the edge of the hole, which looked like rabbits or other small animals.
Zhou Ziwen carefully inspected the hole and found that there was also black material here, which was exactly the same as the one on Mud Ball's mouth. This further confirmed his guess that there might be coal in this place.
He stood up, observed the surrounding terrain, and then used Feng Shui skills to conduct a careful survey.
From the perspective of Feng Shui, the undulating mountains here are not majestic, but they have the potential to hide the wind and absorb the energy.
The hillside is located in a corner of the village and is surrounded by trees, forming a natural surrounding. In Feng Shui, this is regarded as a pattern of gathering energy, and places where energy gathers often contain vitality and resources.
"This is a coal mine!" Zhou Ziwen stamped his feet, feeling very happy.
Although he hasn't dug it open yet, through Feng Shui observation, there is a high probability that there is coal in this place.
"Mud Ball, you have done a great job." Zhou Ziwen happily patted its head.
"Wangwang!" Mud Ball shouted twice happily, seeming to feel Zhou Ziwen's joy.
Its tail was wagging like a splash drum, and it kept rubbing against Zhou Ziwen's feet.
Zhou Ziwen squatted down and carefully looked at the black material around the hole again. He began to think about how to further confirm whether there was really a coal mine here, and if so, how to mine it.
Coal mines are a good thing, and they are of great significance to the development of Dabazi Village.
If it can be mined, it can also bring considerable income to the village.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziwen didn't waste any time and took the clay ball with him to the main army.
Of course, Wu Dagang and the captain must be told about such an important matter first.
Zhou Ziwen walked quickly and arrived at the neighborhood committee office in a short time.
The captain is not here at this time, and only Wu Dagang is processing documents in the office.
"Ziwen, why are you here?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Wu Dagang asked with a smile.
Zhou Ziwen said excitedly: "Uncle Wu, I have made a major discovery! I think there may be a coal mine near our village!"
As he spoke, he told Wu Dagang in detail how Mud Ball led him to the cave entrance today, as well as his observation and judgment of the environment around the cave entrance.
After Wu Dagang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Really? Ziwen, if there really is a coal mine, that would be great! This is a huge opportunity for our village!"
Zhou Ziwen nodded, "Uncle Wu, although I am not completely sure yet, judging from various signs, it is very likely."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look." Wu Dagang stood up, pulled Zhou Ziwen and walked out.
As soon as they went out, they saw the captain walking towards them. "Old Wu, Ziwen, what are you doing in such a hurry?" the captain asked.
"Old Zhou, great discovery, Ziwen said he discovered a coal mine." Wu Dagang said excitedly.
Although they haven't had time to confirm it, Wu Dagang believes in Zhou Ziwen's judgment.
"Coal mine, where is it? Take me there quickly." Upon hearing the word coal mine, the captain also became excited.
"Don't worry, get the hoe first." Seeing them so excited, Zhou Ziwen was a little funny.
These two old men are quite old, but they are still so restless.
But Zhou Ziwen can also understand their mood. The coal mine is indeed a big deal for Dabazi Village.
The three of them quickly came to the warehouse, each took their hoes, and called a few villagers who were strong and smart at work, and headed towards the hillside again.
Along the way, the villagers also learned what happened.
When they heard that a coal mine had been discovered, they were very excited, as if they had seen the bright future of the village.
Arriving at the entrance of the cave on the hillside, Zhou Ziwen pointed to the traces and black matter around the entrance and explained his findings and speculations in detail.

After hearing this, the villagers were full of expectations that there might be a coal mine here.
"Okay, everyone, stop just standing around and start digging." The captain gave the order, and everyone picked up their hoes and started digging near the entrance of the cave.
At the beginning, everyone was cautious. After all, the situation in the cave was unknown and safety came first. As the excavation deepens, there are more and more black substances, and the texture becomes harder and harder, which is obviously different from ordinary soil and stones.
"Look, the things dug out really look like coal!" a villager shouted excitedly.
Others also gathered around, looking at the black lumps with surprise in their eyes.
Zhou Ziwen squatted down, picked up a larger black block, and looked at it carefully.
The object had some luster on the surface and was hard in texture. When struck with his hand, it made a crisp sound, which was very consistent with the characteristics of coal in his memory.
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility of coal mines here is very high."
"Haha, if it's coal, I'll know after one taste."
"Burn it! If it is coal, it will definitely ignite."
The villagers rushed to express their own ideas one by one.
"Haha, this is not easy. Let's try it first and then we will know."
Wu Dagang said with a grin.
At this moment, he was completely sure that this was coal.
"Yes, you will know after burning it."
The captain nodded and took the lead to collect hay.
Everyone responded one after another, and soon a pile of hay was collected.
They stacked the hay in a relatively flat area and placed the black lumps dug out in the middle of the hay.
Wu Dagang took out a box of matches from his pocket, carefully struck one, and lit the hay.
The flames spread quickly and soon surrounded the black mass.
I saw that the black lump gradually turned red under the licking of the flames, and then actually burned, and emitted a pungent smell.
"It can really burn! This is coal!" A villager shouted excitedly.
Everyone also cheered excitedly, as if they had seen the prosperity of the village due to the coal mine.
With a smile on his face, the captain said to Zhou Ziwen: "Ziwen, you are really the lucky star of our Dabazi Village! If we can really mine the coal mine this time, our village will be completely transformed!" (End of Chapter)
