Chapter 83

When I saw the emerald where the cat girls squatted on the ground and played, I thought I was out of sight, but when I approached and picked it up, I looked more and more like it. I remember when I was studying geography in high school, my bald geography teacher said that Yunnan was one of the five gem producing areas in China.

Are these stones really the legendary emeralds? I only saw emeralds in the exhibition hall when I went on a spring outing with my roommates in the University. It is said that emeralds with smaller and poorer texture are worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Emeralds with good texture are valuable treasures without a market. Hundreds of thousands or even millions may not be able to buy them.

The cat girls looked at me and took the emeralds they were playing with as a ball. They looked at me inexplicably. For them, these emeralds are no different from ordinary stones. At most, they are brighter and better looking. But I know that only the cat girl's emeralds, if converted into cash, will be enough to exchange for hundreds of thousands of pigs.

I excitedly took the cat's emerald, then pointed to the emerald in my hand and asked the cat's daughter in a trembling voice:

"Where did it come from?"

"Meow?"

The cat girl's gray ears trembled, and her big round eyes showed some confusion. She didn't know whether she couldn't understand me or really didn't know the origin of these emeralds.

Seeing that the cat girl didn't understand me, I simply took emerald in my hand, and then took the cat girl out of the cave with one hand. The cat girl was pulled out of the cave by me, but her lovely face was still full of confusion.

"This, stone, where did you find it?" after pulling the cat girl out of the cave, I stared at the cat girl's big green eyes, and then patiently pointed to the emerald in her hand and the distant mountain ahead, which meant to ask her where the stone was found.

"Meow, meow ~? Meow, meow!"

The cat girl turned her head sideways and blinked her big eyes. It seemed that she didn't quite understand what I meant at the beginning, but when I pointed to the mountains in the distance and clicked a few places casually, the cat girl also understood what I meant. She knew I was asking her the origin of emerald.

"Meow! Meow ~!" after understanding what I mean, the cat girl took my hand and ran towards a mountain wall north of the waterfall.

Cat girl and I jumped over the narrow river in front of the waterfall, then ran a short way, finally ran over a lot of riprap beaches, and finally ran to a mountain wall hundreds of meters in front. The mountain wall is hundreds of meters high and at an oblique angle of 70 degrees. It looks very steep, and below the mountain wall is a large messy quarry, There are a lot of stones and gravels piled on it. It seems to be an ordinary mountain wall. There is a fault on the mountain wall due to landslide. A small mountain wall slides down, revealing the internal structure of the mountain.

When I looked up at the mountain wall above my head, I was completely shocked.

Because I can clearly see that the surface of the mountain wall fault is actually a large piece of green smooth rock, just like a large piece of emerald embedded in the mountain.

I'm sorry, there are so many natural gemstones inside this mountain. Is this mountain a gem mine?

Of course I was really excited and my body was shaking.

Did I find the gem mine like this?

Of course, because I'm not a professional geologist, I don't know whether this is a pure gem, but at first glance, these smooth rocks like jade on the mountain are gemstones, which can't be wrong

Mom, if these are really precious stones, how much should this gem mountain be worth?

This whole mountain should be worth at least hundreds of millions, or even billions? Besides, who can guarantee that there are no gem mines in the other hills nearby? If there are gemstones in other mountains, I'm afraid this area is a large gem mine. In this way, it's a gem city, worth at least tens of billions.

At that time, I was so excited that I almost didn't cry out. Although the times have changed, the surprise of finding the treasure is the same in any age.

Yunnan Shangri La Grand Canyon is located in a remote area. In addition, it is a territory of ethnic minorities. It is estimated that few people come to explore at ordinary times, so no gem mines have been found in this area. Now I found it. It's a windfall.

I'm afraid I'll be so excited in the 21st century. It's as exciting as the 19th century European colonists found gold mines in the United States. But the problem is that I'm no different from primitive people now. What's the use of these gemstones for me?

I lowered my head and looked at the rubble mound on the ground. I found that due to the fracture of the mountain wall, many natural gem fragments also fell from the rubble mound on the ground. Although they are mixed with ordinary rocks, from the exposed part, the texture of these gemstones is quite pure, and some are even the same as those processed.

I'm really going to send it.

I stepped on the rubble and looked at the gemstones on the ground. I really had the impulse to laugh. The cat girl looked at me with joy on her face and looked at me with her head on her side.

"Meow ~ ~?" the cat girl blinked and looked puzzled. As an orc, how does she know the value of these gemstones?

At that time, I was excited for a long time, but after the joy passed, I thought of my situation and my heart calmed down again. I rummaged through the rubble for a while and found that there were a lot of gemstones here, and the purity of gemstones was also very high. However, I couldn't move much by myself. Finally, I could only move a few emerald stones the size of a grinding plate and relatively pure texture back to the cave.

That night, when I sat in front of the campfire, I kept thinking of gem dreams. If... These gems can be converted into cash, I'm afraid I can really become a gem merchant and then become a millionaire... Or even a billionaire. At that time, I really have status and status, but now I'm a man and I can't mix in the society. In addition, I can't get out of the orc tribe, let alone change my hands on these gemstones... What should I do?

In the next few days, I became a thorough geological prospector and kept investigating the gem mine near the broken arm. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to find that, as I expected, there seemed to be rich gem mines in some nearby mountains. The mountains here were gem mountains.

I have been in the orc tribe for more than two months, and the female orcs have completely regarded me as their man. They won't stop me if I go, because they know I will come back.

However, as the weather became colder and colder, the female beasts became more and more restless. That is, the food in the tribe was eaten up. Although the female beasts robbed a lot of bacon and other food from the Bai nationality last time, the quantity was limited after all, so after a period of time, the food was still eaten up, and there were fewer and fewer prey in the mountains in winter, The female orcs finally had to face a food crisis.

Of course, in spite of this, the female wolf heads will still give me the little food left, and they will eat some residual bones or residues themselves. At that time, I really feel sorry to see a circle of female beasts drooling around and their eyes full of hunger and thirst. Moreover, with less and less food, the female wolf head seems to be more and more upset. She often walks restlessly in the big cave with a worried face.

At that time, I knew that I was afraid the female wolf head would take any action.

Almost one morning in early January, when the sun just shone into the valley from the top of the mountain and fell on the waterfall, the female wolf head made a long wolf howl in the open space outside the big cave, which seemed to be a collective cry.

Hearing the cry of the female wolf head, my heart tightened, and the female beasts in the big cave ran out of the cave one after another and gathered in the open space outside.

I also followed out of the cave. At that time, the female wolf head was standing on a high rock and Howling loudly. In front of her, hundreds of female orcs looked at each other and their faces were full of determination.

At that time, I realized that I was afraid the female wolf head would attack the Bai nationality again.

At that time, I was worried. I couldn't do it.

However, seeing hundreds of female orcs in front of the female wolf head hungry and following Yinghe, I really can't bear to watch them hungry.

At that time, my mind flashed, and I suddenly thought of a way.

Maybe I can take the female orcs to exchange the precious stones for food with the Bai people, and then let the Bai people such as the one eyed woman resell the precious stones for cash, and go to the county to buy more pigs, cattle and sheep, and even other living goods... Maybe I can resolve the contradiction between the female orcs and the Bai people, and even form a virtuous circle.

I was so excited that I almost didn't cry out when I thought of this way!

I'm a genius!
