Chapter 165 Jiang Liali
“Maybe there is a gold mine.”
Li Mu looked upstream along the mountain stream. There were many mountain shadows, and in the dark night, he could only see the rough outline.
Maybe there is a gold vein buried under one of the mountains.
Nugget gold is actually not pure gold.
It is generally composed of natural gold and quartz stone, and some also contain a small amount of silver, copper, palladium, platinum and other elements.
But nugget gold is more expensive than pure gold.
Because nugget gold is formed naturally and the conditions for its formation are also very harsh. During the formation process, it will change into various shapes, such as round, ginger, animal, etc., which is very popular among collectors.
Gold is indeed the hard currency on earth, but after being artificially given the value of collection, and after some people's speculation, the price of nugget gold has skyrocketed, far exceeding the original value of gold.
This cannot be said to be wrong, as long as someone is willing to pay for it.
But this is not the greatest value of nugget gold.
Its greatest value is that it only forms near gold mines.
If nugget gold is found somewhere, geologists will use this place as the center of the circle to look for gold deposits in the surrounding area, and there will be a high probability of finding it.
"Maybe there's a gold mine?"
Brother Nan followed Li Mu's line of sight and held up a strong flashlight to shine on the mountains in the distance. He stretched his neck, as if he wanted to see through the mountains and find the gold buried in them.
"This nugget of gold was washed out of the mountain by water flow. There is a high probability that there will be veins of gold, but I don't know how much gold it contains."
Li Mu took out his mobile phone, opened the Beidou positioning software specially developed by the Forestry Bureau, and marked the current coordinates.
"Do you want to report it?" Brother Nan lowered his head and glanced at the phone screen, watching Li Mu operate.
"This kind of thing must be reported." Li Mu turned off the phone after marking it, and said uncertainly, "You don't want to dig gold mines by yourself, do you?"
"How is that possible!"
Brother Nan turned his gaze to the side with a guilty conscience, "The gold mine belongs to the state, and individual mining is strictly prohibited!"
"That's it"
"What should we do with this nugget of gold?" Brother Nan pointed at the gold stone in Li Mu's hand.
"Turn it in."
"!"
"!"
The cat stopped pulling at the stone with its little claws again, turned its head, and stared at Li Mu with a serious face.
Brother Nan also stared at him with a serious face.
"."
Li Mu looked at Brother Nan, then at the kitten, and suddenly wanted to laugh.
It's a rare divine synchronicity.
So cute.
"Let me ask you, did you dig this gold nugget?" Brother Nan said.
"No." Li Mu was honest.
"Did you pick it up?"
"No."
"That's it!"
"What's the matter?"
"You don't have to hand it in!" Brother Nan looked at Li Mu like he was a fool. "Let me tell you, it makes perfect sense for me to say you don't need to hand it in."
Li Mu listened to what Brother Nan meant, as if he wanted to reason with him, and suddenly became interested.
He really wanted to hear what kind of truth Brother Nan could tell.
So he pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's the point?"
brush!
Brother Nan shined the flashlight on Li Mu's chest, looked at Li Mu's face carefully with the light blocked by his chest and spread around, and leaned his upper body forward, getting closer and closer to Li Mu.
Brother Nan has super good skin.
The light reflected her face, which looked snow-white and delicate, with long and curled eyelashes, and soft lips like cherry blossoms, pink and moist with a moist luster. Li Mu subconsciously tilted his head back and swallowed a sip of saliva.
Fortunately, Brother Nan did not get closer, but stopped and looked at him up and down.
"Why, why do you look at me like that?"
"It's nothing." Brother Nan buttoned his head and stood up straight.
She felt that Li Muotou had become a melon.
But Brother Nan has always taken good care of his younger brother.
It's okay for the younger brother to become a melon, as he has a smart older brother like her.
So Brother Nan began to reason with Li Mu:
"The law has regulations that prohibit individuals from mining and mining various minerals, but this nugget of gold was neither dug nor picked up by you, but was given by Cloud Leopard." your.
"Who is the clouded leopard? It is a national first-class protected wild animal. It is a child of nature, and nature is its home. Isn't that right?"
"That's right." Li Mu nodded.
"So, this gold nugget is also a stone created by nature. A child of nature picked up the stone from his own home and gave it to his good friend. This is a reasonable and legal thing."
Brother Nan spoke very slowly and unhurriedly, analyzing each item for Li Mu, "The clouded leopard's mouth is so big, it is impossible for it to bite this gold nugget and hold such a fat rabbit at the same time.
"It is very likely that it first took a stone or a hare and hid it in the grass near the courtyard, and then went back to pick up another item. It took so much time and how much distance it took to go back and forth. Full of affection!
"Now, you have to give away your friend's precious affection."
"Alas~"
Brother Nan sighed and glanced at Li Mu secretly, "If I were a clouded leopard, I don't know how sad I would be."
Li Mu's expression became serious.
At first, he just thought it was fun and was curious about what Brother Nan could say.
But after listening to it, he felt that Brother Nan was right.
Brother Nan looked at Li Mu's expression, "Does what I said make sense?"
"That makes sense."
Brother Nan immediately grinned, very happy.
Li Mu looked at Brother Nan and asked tentatively: "Then what if I still have to hand it in?"
Brother Nan instantly put away his smile and stared at him closely, "Then I will beat you to death for Clouded Leopard!"
"Don't dare."
Li Mu looked at the gold nugget in his hand, "But I still have to tell my uncle and ask him to notify the relevant departments if he knows there is news about a suspected gold mine here."
"Of course we have to report it, and we have to ask them to help us identify the gold content of this gold nugget." Brother Nan took the gold nugget from Li Mu's hand and looked at it with admiration, like a little money addict.
"What if someone in the relevant department wants to take away this nugget of gold?"
This nugget of gold weighs two kilograms. As the gold content is only 50%, it is still a kilogram of gold.
The current price of gold is about 570 yuan per gram, and more than 280,000 yuan per pound. If it is turned into gold jewelry, the price will be even more expensive.
With such a great value, it is inevitable that some people will be tempted.
"whispering sound!"
Brother Nan didn't even raise his head, but his tone was cold, "As long as you don't hand it over on your own initiative, I'll see who dares to steal this nugget of gold."
"That's it." Li Mu felt relieved.
He understands Brother Nan's temper. If someone really has evil thoughts about this nugget of gold, she will really beat them up.
"Nimu!" A kitten's cry suddenly came from the side.
Li Mu turned around and saw a small cat's head exposed behind a pile of stones that had been ripped apart.
Seeing him looking over, the kitten lowered its head and disappeared behind the stone. Then it ran over from behind the pile of stones, holding a small stone in its mouth.
When he arrived in front of Li Mu, he opened his mouth and spit.
Brother Nan shined a flashlight over it, and the small stones spit out were golden in color.
