Chapter 415: Go Digging for Diamonds

A city near the rainforest, not large in area, but developed vigorously.

Unlike those villages far away from the town, this place has long been developed into a tourist area with complete supporting facilities. Tourists of different skin colors can be seen here, and various languages ​​are heard in the conversations coming and going.

In a city with multiple tourist attractions, mid- to high-end hotels are indispensable.

In one of the high-end hotels, Xiaojia and his friends are waiting here.

That day they took a plane from the village of Sulem, and did not return the same way, but flew directly here.

This is also the place Feng Yi had arranged in advance. When Feng Yi comes out of the rainforest, they will stay here for a few more days, as a normal vacation.

After Xiaojia, Xiaoding, Cai Bin and Feng Shou arrived, Feng Shou returned home first. Because he got the tree seeds, Feng Shou couldn't wait to go back to the orchard to take care of the research.

Cai Bin continued to follow Xiaojia and his friends, waiting for Feng Yi here together. His translation task was not over yet, but compared to the village of Sulem, the tourist resort city here would make his work easier, and he would not have to be on guard against the moody villagers all the time. There was electricity and internet here, and the living conditions were completely different.

In fact, Cai Bin also had many questions in his mind, but he could not get the answers from Xiaojia and Xiaoding. He waited for Feng Yi in the hotel honestly, and he did not know how many days he would have to wait.

It did not matter, he would get paid every day anyway, and he did not have to pay for the room.

But he was not idle during the waiting period, and he went to inquire about the latest news and see where to have fun. When the sponsor came out of the rainforest, he would have to play here for a few days.

Cai Bin returned to the hotel room from outside, took out several documents he had received today, spread them out for analysis, and made good records.

Just as he was writing, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID was a colleague.

"Hello? Did you finish your order? So fast... I don't drink, I don't have time, I'll continue to follow orders!"

The other side asked: "I see you are in the group quite frequently, why are you so free to follow orders?"

Cai Bin: "Waiting for the sponsor to come out."

The other side was shocked, and even had a little excitement: "Oh, your sponsor was locked up?! What happened? How many days?"

Cai Bin said heavily: "Bah! Your sponsor was locked up! It's not what you think! He went into the rainforest to do research."

The other side lost interest: "Oh, weirdo."

In their opinion, those so-called expert researchers who ran deep into the rainforest from time to time were a group of strange people.

"You have guts! Who is your sponsor?" The other side said again, "Entering the rainforest is a very challenging behavior. Seriously, what if he can't come out?"

Cai Bin also thought about what to do if he didn't wait for the sponsor at the agreed place?

But he didn't dare to ask.

But he didn't want to hear others say these discouraging words.

Just as he was about to say something, Cai Bin received a message from Xiao Jia.

After reading the message, Cai Bin was alert: "I won't chat with you anymore. My sponsor is here! Let's go to work! Bye~"

The other side hurriedly said: "Hey wait! Does your sponsor need any other work? I'm free here and can take orders at any time!"

Cai Bin perfunctorily said: "Okay, I'll ask for you."

Ask a fart!

How can you share your job with your peers!

He is the almighty Cai Bin!

Having packed up in a hurry, Cai Bin took the local travel guide he had studied in the past few days and ran to meet the sponsor.

Feng Yi came out of the rain forest and arrived at the hotel at the appointed time.

When Cai Bin came over, Feng Yi was eating in the hotel suite.

In fact, he had already eaten a meal just now. This was the second round, and he ate more leisurely.

After arriving at the hotel, Feng Yi took a shower and changed from head to toe. Therefore, Cai Bin didn't think it was strange to see Feng Yi's clean and tidy clothes and shoes.

In fact, even if someone saw Feng Yi wearing intact shoes when he walked out of the rainforest, it would be fine.

Feng Yi's backpack was very large when he entered the rainforest, but no one knew what was stuffed inside. Maybe there was a pair of shoes inside that they didn't know about, and he changed them halfway?

At this time, Cai Bin's attention was still on Feng Yi's health.

Two days ago, he proposed to Xiaojia to make an appointment with a doctor to check Feng Yi, but was rejected.

Xiaojia just told him that Feng Yi had his own private doctor, and he would ask the private doctor to do a comprehensive examination when he returned.

Now, Feng Yi's health seems to be okay, and there are no obvious scars on his body. His complexion has not decreased but improved, and his face is more rosy than before entering the rainforest, as if he had taken some panacea!

Cai Bin took out the travel information he had sorted out and asked about the next arrangements: "Brother Yi, how do you want to play?"

Feng Yi said: "Rest for two days first."

He was busy wandering in the rainforest, didn't have much sleep time, and the food was a bit poor.

Now he has the conditions, eat more and sleep more, and replenish his energy.

Cai Bin can understand Feng Yi's choice.

In Cai Bin's opinion, the sponsor really needs to rest. After all, he must be very tired after surviving in the rain forest for so many days.

"You can go out and play after two days of rest." Feng Yi looked at the travel information sorted out by Cai Bin: "It's all okay. I'll think about it in the next two days. Oh, and do you know anyone who knows the local area better?"

Cai Bin: "I know the local area very well!"

Feng Yi shook his head: "I mean, someone who has a deeper understanding of the humanities and history here."

Cai Bin affirmed: "I have research on local humanities and history. Although I am not as good as professionals, as long as you give me time, I can definitely collect information that will satisfy you!"

Feng Yi could think about it. He didn't come here specifically to study humanities and history. He could just let Cai Bin collect the information.

So Feng Yi said: "The scope does not need to be too broad. You should first search related to ancient rivers."

Ancient river channels are river channels that were abandoned after the river was diverted.

In other words, it is not a river channel now, but there was one in that place a long time ago.

Cai Bin accepted the task.

It would be easy to just check the ancient river channels. He could find people in this field to search for information.

The funder is really a researcher, and he doesn’t know what he has researched in the rain forest, but he wants to check the ancient river channel.

Two days later.

After eating and sleeping well, Feng Yi received the ancient river course information from Cai Bin.

In the past two days, Cai Bin asked professionals in hydraulics and river dynamics. These are the information collected in the past two days. Time is limited and only so much can be collected, but if the donor has subsequent requirements, he can also complete them.

Feng Yi first glanced at the information briefly, then took out a few of them and looked at them carefully.

In fact, he was just curious about which places the ancestors who had been here were most likely to wander along.

When he was in his original form, he preferred to be active in places with rivers nearby in forests and surrounding environments. I wonder if the ancestors were the same as him.

Looking at the ancient river channel information, Feng Yi secretly compared the places he ran in the rain forest in his mind.

【I've been here before. 】

[Ah, I have been to this place too, but I didn’t expect it to be an ancient river! You can’t see it at all now! 】

[The river is still there, but now it is just a small wild river, not as wide as the information says. 】

The information may not be completely correct, but is only used as a reference.

Feng Yi actually didn't take it too seriously, he just happened to meet him and wanted to know some information. Come all come.

Cai Bin, who was waiting quietly next to him, saw Feng Yi looking at the ancient river channel information, and his heart moved. When he went to search for these information in the past two days, he also heard some opinions.

So Cai Bin tried his best and said: "Many mining areas are related to ancient rivers, and there are several local diamond mines."

Feng Yi looked up.

Cai Bin cheered up and continued: "This is nothing new. If we push the time forward a few decades, there will be more mines and unlicensed miners everywhere. That is to say, the control will be stricter later, and The mines are almost exhausted, and the mines that have no output are closed down in large numbers.

Feng Yi was curious: "Transformation?"

Cai Bin nodded and said: "Some of the mines that have been closed have been turned into scenic spots, and some are used for other purposes. Some of the mines that are still open now have chosen to be open to tourists. The mining areas cannot generate profits, and they are blocked by the regulatory authorities and some Social organizations have been hit hard and faced difficulties in running their business, so they thought of this move.”

While talking, Cai Bin took out his mobile phone and opened a travel-related APP, clicked on one of the pages, and handed it to Feng Yi to read:

"To experience diamond digging, you only need to pay the entrance fee. Visitors can take away the diamonds they find, and the mine will help them issue certificates. They are all legal income. This type of tourism project is quite popular, and many people will go here. Try it out, and if you dig up diamonds, you will probably be able to offset all your travel expenses.”

Feng Yi was really interested: "Digging diamonds? Can you find them?"

Seeing the investor's behavior, Cai Bin quickly told him all the information he had learned, including the large and small mines he had learned about that could be used for this project.

"It is said that some tourists have found it, but most people have found nothing. They just want to experience it. Brother Yi, if you are interested, I can find someone in the local area who is more familiar with this type of tourism project to come and ask."

"Okay, let's find one."

Cai Bin took the phone and went out to make contact.

Not long after, a young man about twenty years old came over.

Cai Bin has already told Feng Yi his identity information.

This man's name is Mark, surnamed Ma. He is of mixed blood from three countries and can speak four languages. His grandfather is Chinese.

Mark is not very old, but he is skilled in business. He usually takes tourists to various mines to experience diamond digging projects.

The meeting place was at an outdoor restaurant. Feng Yi was wearing sunglasses, but Mark didn't recognize him.

I usually see a lot of people, but I only read the news on the Internet, so I don’t have a deep impression. At most, I think Feng Yi looks a little familiar. That's all, there are too many people who look alike. As for people wearing sunglasses, there are six out of ten people here.

The sun is too bright outside.

At this moment, Mark only sees the task, which is related to his remuneration.

Mark directly opened a mine distribution map and recommended several mines that were not too far away to Feng Yi. These mines are not big, but the tourist experience is okay, and some tourists have actually dug up diamonds.

Feng Yi listened to his introduction, compared the maps in the ancient river information, and then thought about the scenes that appeared in the dream, raised his hand and pointed to another icon: "Where is this mine?"

Mark paused and lowered his voice and said: "This mine is a medium-sized mine, larger than the ones I introduced earlier, but the project experience may not be as good as the previous ones."

As for more, I won’t talk about it. A secretive look.

Cai Bin secretly made a gesture to Feng Yi.

These local business people have local rules, Cai Bin told Feng Yi in advance.

Feng Yi turned his head to signal Xiao Jia.

Xiao Jia took out a few bills and pushed them in front of Mark.

Mark moved smoothly and cleared his throat: "I don't recommend tourists from out of town to go to their place. That mine can't produce diamonds, and it has changed hands several times. The business model is different now. On the Internet The advertising is successful, but in fact, the diamonds appear in the promotional video, well, it is just a publicity effect.”

These are all diamonds deliberately put in by people from the mines, and they are just trying to trick you foreign tourists by finding someone to coordinate with them!

Feeling that local minerals cannot be completely sold for money, Mark said: "Actually, there are tourists who know this, but they think that even if the mine is fake and deliberately throws bait into it, as long as it is dug up, even if it is a small diamond, then It’s also money. Don’t you think so, boss?

“Mine owners want to make money, tourists want to experience it, it’s a pleasure to go both ways!

"Life, don't take it too seriously."

Feng Yi smiled: "Is it really the diamonds that the mine threw into it?"

"Probably." Mark picked up the water glass and drank.

Feng Yi gestured to Xiao Jia.

Xiao Jia skillfully took out a few more bills.

Mark put down the water glass, took the banknotes smoothly again, and smiled:

"There are definitely real diamonds, but they are only for commercials. Other times, I believe they threw other things in there, such as broken glass slag from the bar, and stone slag dug out by the river by the truckload... Well, increase Fun."

The tourists were excited and thought they had dug something, but they discovered it was glass. It's true that I was excited, and it was quite interesting.

However, Feng Yi's focus was not on these interests, but on Mark's pause just now.

"Besides glass and stone slag, what else did they throw into the mine?" Feng Yi asked.

Mark continued to drink tea.

Xiao Jia continued to take out the money.

Mark first looked around cautiously, then at the bare dinner plate in front of Feng Yi. Seeing that no one was eating on the table, he continued:

"Throw away everything. Small ones, a bit hard, small particles like stones stuck to the sand. You can't tell what they are when you dig them. Only washing can separate diamonds from other debris.

"Most tourists only experience the diamond digging project and clean the diamonds after digging. Instead of digging for diamonds directly in the muddy water. So sometimes they have wrong perceptions when they dig out some harder particles.

"According to what Xiaoma has heard and confirmed, the things people in the mine throw into it include but are not limited to stones, tooth decay, dry foot skin, etc."

Cai Bin... Cai Bin wants to vomit.

Feng Yi also frowned.

Mark asked: "So boss, do you still want to go now?"

Feng Yi: "Let's go see it first."

Mark: "...Okay."

You pay and you are the boss.

After deciding on the itinerary, Feng Yi asked Xiao Jia to rent a car first.

Xiaojia has made a reservation in advance, so just drive over.

While waiting for the bus, Mark did not sit still and continued to expand his business, recommending seaside tourist areas to Feng Yi.

Corresponding to the hotel, Mark can get bonuses, especially for bringing such wealthy customers there, the bonuses will be even higher.

Mark said enthusiastically: "Boss, do you live by the sea? No? Well, you can have a good experience. The seaside is a completely different scenery from the jungle. The sea view and beach here are different from those elsewhere. We can also provide private services for you to enjoy." Your own private beach..."

Feng Yi: "I have an island."

mark:"……"

Disrespectful!

He thought that this employer just had some money, but he didn't expect that he was still a rich man! Looking at age, is this the second generation of rich people or the third generation of rich people? Or a descendant of some aristocratic family?

It should be that he just has money but not enough status and ostentation.

Mark thought in his mind and smiled enthusiastically:

"Then let me tell you a joke!"

Since there is no temptation in material terms, let’s use some small spices to soothe your mood.

"Anyone who comes from other places knows that there are many rainforests here, and even if you are not in the rainforest, you can often see snakes. The most typical two types of snake hunting skills are strangulation and venom.

"Those with powerful strangulation power are represented by pythons. Those with deadly venom are all represented by cobras.

"But boss, you know, why don't snakes with particularly powerful strangulation power have no venom? Or, why are snakes with deadly venom not strong enough to strangle? Even the King Cobra is really not as good as those snakes of the same size. Specializing in strangulation skills.”

Mark paused skillfully.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at him and focusing on him, Mark was very satisfied with this reaction.

Seeing that Feng Yi was silent, Cai Bin replied: "A snake only needs to have one of these skills to survive. It doesn't need to have both."

Mark: "But why aren't there people who are top-notch in both skills? Why aren't there such invincible beings?!"

Mark said seriously: "You can imagine, if a snake has both powerful strangulation power and deadly venom, then when it hunts, does it use strangulation first? Or does it use venom first?"

As he said this, Mark laughed "hahaha".

"The short hunting time is not enough for it to use its brain to think!

"Whether it's strangulation or venom, by the time it decides, the prey will have already run away!"

Cai Bin also followed with "hahahaha".

Feng Yi had no expression on his face.

Xiao Ding watched quietly from the side, his face seemed to have written: How brave!

Today’s twenty-four solar terms are [Jingzhe].

Happy birthday Feng Yi!
