Chapter 197 Nugget Gold
Lu Qingqing heard Qin Lang's voice and walked quickly towards the door.
The village head's wife saw this and said jokingly:
"These two kids have such a great relationship. It's not just that young couples have such a great relationship. As an old married couple like us, we can't wait to not see that annoying guy for a year or two!"
The Queen Mother heard this and said with a smile:
"Your wife is not bad either. She cares a lot about you and your mother. Before I left this afternoon, I looked at her..."
When Lu Qingqing walked out of the house, she saw Qin Lang waiting at the door with eager eyes.
As soon as he saw her come out, he walked up to her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her towards the livestock shed behind the house.
Qin Lang was obviously very excited, swinging Lu Qingqing's arm.
When they arrived at the barn, Qin Lang pulled Lu Qingqing to his cows.
When the cow saw the two men, it mooed and nudged their hands.
Qin Lang touched the ox's head, then whispered to Lu Qingqing:
"Daya, I dug up a little piece of gold today. Here, I give it to you!"
As he spoke, Qin Lang took out a palm-sized piece of gold nuggets from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Qingqing's hand.
Lu Qingqing didn't expect that this "little piece of gold" was so big and heavy that it felt a bit heavy in her hand.
She subconsciously wanted to pick it up and look at it in the moonlight, but then she thought that they were in Jingou and it would be troublesome if they were discovered.
Lu Qingqing moved her mind, and "Little Gold" entered the space.
The space was as bright as day, and Lu Qingqing could see the "little piece of gold" clearly.
This is not a "small piece of gold", it is clearly a big piece of gold!
Lu Qingqing worked tirelessly for an entire afternoon, but the gold particles she obtained were only one-fifth of the nugget's gold.
She couldn't help but sigh at Qin Lang's good luck.
When I looked up, I saw a face waiting for praise.
She smiled and touched Qin Lang's head, and also touched the bull's head which was still waiting to be touched.
Then, he took out a few pieces of Qin Lang's favorite sour candies from the space and handed them to him, and also took out a small bowl of space water that Niu loved to drink.
In an instant, both the man and the cow were satisfied!
After the cow finished drinking the water, Lu Qingqing put the bowl into the space and took some grass for it to chew.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang sat next to the cow. Qin Lang ate candy and said to Lu Qingqing:
"Daya, you don't know. Today, a man in our mine suddenly had a stomachache. The toilet was outside, and he ran out, holding his stomach. When he reached a corner, he slipped and fell flat on his face. Then, hahahaha, there was a puffing sound coming from his pants."
Qin Lang said this and started laughing first.
"Hahahaha, a lot of people gathered over to watch. Even the supervisor came over to watch the fun, but he was driven away by the stench..."
As he was speaking, Qin Lang seemed to have thought of something, turned around and touched the ox's head, and praised Lu Qingqing:
"Today our cow went out to pull dirt. It's so smart. I took it for a walk once and it knew what to do. Everyone praised it for its cleverness!"
Lu Qingqing looked at Qin Lang who was talking excitedly and sighed secretly.
Those responsible for mining in the mines are all strong men, and they must exert great strength.
Qin Lang only talked about the interesting things and never mentioned the boring and hard work of mining, but how could this job not be tiring!
Lu Qingqing listened to Qin Lang quietly and felt a little sorry for him.
She silently filled the water bag on Qin Lang's waist with space water, and took out a small bag of previously roasted dried meat and stuffed it into Qin Lang's arms.
When Qin Lang stopped eating candy, he couldn't help but said:
"You must stay close to Master in the mines and never wander around. If you need anything, come find Master first and tell me tonight, okay? Also, this bag contains some dried meat I roasted earlier. Eat it when you're hungry, and come back to me if you run out. Also, don't work too hard. You're still growing, and if you tire yourself out, you won't grow."
Qin Lang nodded obediently. Listening to Lu Qingqing's instructions, he felt warm and comfortable in his heart.
He held Lu Qingqing's hand and wanted to say something nice to make Daya feel better.
After thinking for a long time, he blurted out:
"Daya, don't get too tired. You're already shorter than me, and if you don't grow taller you'll be even shorter than me!"
Lu Qingqing was originally feeling a little depressed, but this sentence instantly brought her down.
She silently rolled her eyes towards the sky. She shouldn't have felt that hint of expectation just now.
Qin Lang didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing. He continued to mutter and asked Lu Qingqing for the honey in the space.
The two sat in the barn, eating and chatting.
By the time Qin Lang covered his stomach and said he was full, the oil lamp in the house in front had already been turned off and the surroundings had become quiet.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Qingqing pulled Qin Lang into the space to wash up, intending to go back after washing up.
While washing up, Yi Nian noticed two men walking towards the livestock shed.
The two men were very alert and checked the surroundings. After confirming that no one was found, one of them lowered his voice and said:
"Fourth Brother, are you sure there's a way out? Someone trying to escape just died a few days ago. When they were dragged back, there wasn't a single piece of good flesh left on their bodies. It was such a tragic death!"
The person called Lao Si said:
"You don't trust me to do things, but I'm not capable enough to take on this job! To be honest, I've already found a small path that the officials don't know about. Besides, we've been friends for many years, and I won't harm you. Besides, I'll be going with you this time, so what are you worried about?"
"Of course I trust you, but how many people are there on this trip? Are they all reliable? Don't let them leak the secret. If they report it to the police or Captain He, we will all be dead!"
The man asked in a somewhat anxious tone, and the fourth brother hurriedly comforted him:
"Don't worry, the people I found are all reliable and keep their mouths shut. Don't be reluctant to part with that little bit of gold. Think about it, as long as we get out safely, with this gold, we can go home and buy a few acres of land, marry a good and fertile woman, and then we can live a peaceful and happy life in the future!"
When the man heard this, he no longer hesitated and handed the fourth brother a small cloth bag.
"Old Four, this is what I saved up after working for over a year. I gave you most of it. You have to take me out of here!"
The fourth brother quickly took the cloth bag, opened it and took a look, confirming that there were gold particles inside, then carefully put it in his arms.
"Alright, I promise to get you out safely, so don't worry about it. I'll give you another letter before I leave!"
The two men didn't say anything more. One of them walked quickly towards the toilet, while the other walked towards the large group of houses in front.
In the space, Lu Qingqing quickly told Qin Lang about the situation outside.
Only then did he move more cautiously and quickly catch up with the man called Lao Si.
The fourth brother was very alert and looked around from time to time to make sure that there was no one around before continuing to walk back.
He was too alert, so Lu Qingqing didn't dare to get too close.
Fortunately, the house was not far away, and the man soon entered a house.
After Lu Qingqing noted down the house he lived in, she walked back.
