Chapter 233: The Merchant of Ucha

Wei Zilong no longer answered, but he secretly despised himself in his heart, what about the foolish people? This gem is at least seven or eight million in market value, what package can be worth so much money? But Yang Ling himself is a loser, just make a fortune by himself, the more you want, the better.

Look at the sky is still early, the two chartered a taxi and went straight to Wucha County, the two places are less than 100 kilometers apart, there is a half-way high-speed, at this time in May, the turn of spring and summer, it should be the season of flourishing vegetation, but here are deserts along the way, in addition to the sand strips on both sides of the highway, the endless yellow sand dunes are continuous, a highway from the desert straight through, a gust of wind blows up, the sky is full of sand and dust as if the end of the world, the car passes through the wind and sand, and the windows make a "crackle" under the impact of the wind and sand The sound of the occasional wheel drifting over a short distance is uncontrollable, this kind of scene Yang Ling has never seen before, and he feels eye-opening. But drivers are used to driving and listening to music while driving, shaking their heads and seemingly enjoying the violent environment.

When I arrived in Wucha County, it was not completely dark.

This is a very small county seat, located in the northwest border, the population is very small, but the scenery is still good, facing the sunset, you can see a tall mountain range across the sky, several snow peaks stand quietly in the sun, that is the legendary Tianshan Mountain, Jin Yong's pen of the Seven Swords secluded practice, and the invisible farther away, there is Liang Yusheng's pen of the Tianshan Tianchi, the former residence of the white-haired witch practicing neon clothes.

Yang Ling sighed with emotion, thinking that when he was a sophomore, several brothers in the dormitory also made an appointment to go to Tianshan Mountain to find the martial arts inheritance of the Seven Swords during the summer vacation, after all, because of lack of funds, he only went to Lanzhou to eat a few bowls of ramen and went back.

Wei Zilong took Yang Ling to find the jade merchant in the county seat, a Kirgiz man in his fifties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a somewhat rich appearance, wearing a suit and speaking fluent Chinese, his name was Moza.

Mozha received them very warmly, beckoned them to sit down on the sofa with good smoke and tea, and the three of them politely exchanged a few words, Wei Zilong said: "Yang Ling, Uncle Moza is a good friend of my father!

Yang Ling was not polite, this was the purpose of this visit, he took out a small piece of Yuanneng ore from his pocket and handed it to Mo Zha and said, "Uncle Mo, can you see if this jade is the kind you sold to Mr. Wei's father in the first place?"

Mo Zha took it and looked at it a few times, and even habitually took out a magnifying glass and a flashlight to take a careful look, and then put down the Yuanneng ore and thought for a long time before saying: "It looks very similar, but after all, seven or eight years have passed, and I don't remember it very clearly, if it weren't for the fact that the jade was red, I definitely wouldn't have had any impression at all." ”

Yang Ling nodded, a jade merchant handles countless jades every year, and it is indeed not easy to remember a piece of jade that was not very valuable seven or eight years ago, but he still asked: "Then do you remember where you got that piece of jade from in the first place?"

Moza said: " I still remember this, when a few friends came here to play, I took them to ride horses along the Kizi River upstream for seven or eight miles, met a few herdsmen, they were discussing the stone together, we were also curious to get up and take a look, found that it was a rare red jade here, so I spent 8,000 yuan to buy it, and asked at the time, they said that it was found in a river valley not far ahead, at that time several friends were very interested, and specially let a few herdsmen take the road to see it, and did not find the same stone, and then it was at a jade fair in Kaqu, I bought this stone to Xiaowei's father。 ”

"Then can you take me somewhere to see?" Yang Ling said happily.

Moza said happily: "Of course it's no problem, but it's too late today, and we don't have anything to do in the backwoods here, you and Xiaowei will stay at my house for one night, and go early tomorrow morning!"

The next morning, Moza did not know where to get three horses, and the three of them rode out of the city, and then they saw a river that was not too big, and Moza smiled and said, "This is the Kizi River, and it is the place that goes up more than ten miles along the river!"

Yang Ling rode a horse for the first time, felt very novel, did not dare to ride too fast, the horse slowly walked forward along the riverbank, the river water is crystal clear, although the weather in May, but the river still exudes a clear chill, the green grass on both banks, from time to time you can also see groups of cattle and sheep and comfortable galloping herdsmen.

The sky is blue and the water is pure, thousands of miles are clear and blue, as far as the eye can see, the distant mountains are continuous, and the little snow peaks disappear with the winding river, Yang Ling can't help but sigh, "What a good place!"

The three of them were not in a hurry, and it took them nearly an hour to reach the valley that Moza had mentioned.

Two hills that are not too high stand opposite each other, and the Kizi River from the Kunlun Snow Mountains in the distance is squeezed and blocked here, forming a relatively narrow large bay, and the river becomes relatively turbulent, and the three of them stand on the bank of the river after dismounting.

Moza pointed to the valley with a horsewhip and said: "The original herdsmen found the jade in that location, but now seven or eight years have passed, and the terrain has not changed, let's go over and take a look, as for whether we can find it, it depends on Xiao Yang's luck!"

Yang Ling let go of his mind, presented a radius of several kilometers in his mind, searched carefully, except for a few herdsmen and cattle and sheep in the distance, basically did not find anything special, he secretly turned the detector on his wrist to the radar mode, only to see a green light swept over the dark dial, "beep" a few sounds, four red dots popped up, Yang Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that this time it is really the right one.

The three men left the horses on the shore to graze, and spent an hour searching the area side by side, but of course they found nothing, and Moza said with a smile: " In fact, I didn't find it, I heard that a herdsman picked up a stone and sold it for 8,000 pieces, it is said that people in a radius of dozens of miles have come to look for it, but it is very lively, both sides of the river, including the river, are almost dug up and turned over several times, but no one has found it, this thing lasted for more than half a year before slowly fading, until now, there are herdsmen who occasionally come to try their luck. ”

Wei Zilong sat on the ground with his head down, and Yang Ling also deliberately sighed and said, "It seems that this trip has been in vain!"

Mozha patted him on the shoulder, "Haha, we have a long way to go here, it's rare to come here, so we should come for a tour, maybe that kind of jade is not here at all, but washed down from the upper reaches of the river." (To be continued.) )
