Chapter 79 There is indeed gold in this river!
"Where's my duck?"

"What about a flock of ducks like me?"

Xu Yang was distracted for a moment, and all the ducks disappeared.

After these guys mastered the swimming skills, they swam very fast.

I wanted to broadcast some heartwarming scenes, but I never expected these ducks to be so wild.

Just disappear when you say you're gone.

Xu Yang stood on the shore and looked into the river, but could not see any trace of ducks.

Netizens burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, Lao Xu, are you here to release the animals? ]

[Duck: Goodbye, my dear! I won’t serve you anymore! ]

[Could this be the legendary wild duck? ]

[I feel like something bad is going to happen!]

At this time, at the bend of the river ahead, the ducks quacked and swam back.

Just now they were just in high spirits, swam out along the river for a while, turned a corner and disappeared.

They didn't see Xu Yang and became a little anxious, so they immediately turned around and walked back.

The images are always interesting.

The little guys swam all the way back and hung around Xu Yang.

Xu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, when they grow up a little, they can come here by themselves. The farm is not far from here."

"But it's a bit dangerous, after all, we have to go through a wild jungle."

"The mountain village is because the area we pass through is full of villages, so it's safe and we can let the ducks go by themselves."

Xu Yang explained.

The ducks were pecking at the water plants on the shore excitedly.

Ducks like to eat aquatic plants such as reeds, algae, water hyacinth, etc.

Bringing them out is also to let them eat some natural plants, so that they will taste more delicious.

The little ones quacked.

Xu Yang was checking whether there were any fresh water fish in the river, such as grass carp, prawns, etc.

Catch two on the way and take them back so you can have dinner.

"There are fewer fish now, or maybe they have learned their lesson and generally don't hang around in shallow water like this."

He looked at the riverside but found nothing.

Then Xu Yang gave the netizens in the live broadcast room a preview:

"I plan to go into the mountains the day after tomorrow. This time I'll go deep into the mountains and bring a tent and a power bank."

“Good things will be gone if you don’t look for them now.”

When they heard that Xu Yang was going into the mountains, everyone became interested again.

The live broadcast of going deep into the mountains is great.

He is the only one on the entire network who dares to go into the mountains to broadcast live, and these are mountains where Siberian tigers and leopards live.

Even the rangers now patrol in groups of two.

Then, Xu Yang rested on the shore and watched the ducks eat.

When they had almost finished eating, Xu Yang called the ducks to come ashore.

The little guys had a great time today. They swam to the shore one by one, swung their little butts quickly a few times to shake off the water, then gathered together and followed Xu Yang back.

Today I let the ducks out, just like I let the cattle and sheep out, I took them out to eat some water and grass, and they will come back when they are full.

The two dogs still followed.

There is no need for a leash, and they won't run around.

Many pet dogs are not like this. As long as the leash is loosened, these dogs will let their owners know what "letting go" means.

On the country roads, the sounds of cicadas and insects are endless.

It is the sound of summer.

The ducks quacked, with a hint of excitement and a sense of longing in their voices.

Xu Yang had a lazy feeling.

He was completely empty-minded, his brain wasn't thinking at all, he just walked slowly.

The live broadcast scene is still so relaxing and comfortable.

In the afternoon, Xu Yang prepared some equipment for climbing the mountain.

He now has a [Favorability Card] and a bottle of [Anti-Snake Venom Serum], which are supply packs for entering the mountains as rewards from the system.

With these two things, the risk of going into the mountains is not high.

If you encounter a Siberian tiger, just turn the enemy into a friend.

The next day, Xu Yang was not idle either.

Early in the morning, he went into the mountains carrying a backpack and a bucket of water.

Li Shan thought Xu Yang was going to live broadcast or go to the mountains again, but he didn't know that Xu Yang was going to do something big today:
Gold mining.

Gold panning is something that must be done in secret.

Domestic law stipulates that private gold mining is a crime, but panning for gold in rivers far away from gold mines is allowed.

Now some people are also making gold panning videos.

The golden river that Xu Yang discovered was just an ordinary river in the uninhabited area of ​​the mountain, and there were no mining sites around it. There was no need to worry about breaking the law.

He made his way to the river.

The gold panning process is not complicated, but it is quite tiring.

Simply put, the silt in the river is shoveled onto a filter plate. The river water will wash away the large stones and silt, and the small sand and gold particles will fall into the filter plate.

Then look for gold particles in the filter plate.

As soon as Xu Yang entered the mountain, he saw a mother and cub clouded leopard walking towards him.

They live in the back mountain.

Moreover, the eyesight of clouded leopards is so good that they can spot Xu Yang as soon as he appears.

"Xiaohua, you've grown up again."

Xu Yang smiled and picked up Xiaohua.

The little guy is a little fatter now and heavier than when I first saw him.

Still lively as ever though.

"Come with me to the mountains to work today."

"Dig for gold!"

“Those are all treasures!”

Xu Yang put the little guy down, then rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a bottle of milk.

This was something Xu Yang brought specially for the little leopard.

When seeing that there was milk, Xiaohua immediately meowed happily. When Xu Yang handed the bottle to it, it immediately held the bottle and refused to let go.

This little guy still loves to drink milk at this age.

The mother leopard no longer feeds it milk, but only lets the little one eat rabbits or pheasants when she hunts them.

That’s why the little guy was so happy to see bottles of milk.

Milk is still delicious.

Not to mention now, even when Xiaohua grew up, she still liked to drink milk.

Little leopard cub.

After Xu Yang fed it, he continued on his way, with both big and small leopards following him.

All the way to the Golden River.

Golden River is the name given to the river by Xu Yang. There are many such rivers in the mountains, and they are all branches of the big rivers.

He found a place where the water was flowing fast.

Then take the filter out of the bag and insert it diagonally into the water flow.

The water flows quickly through the filter plate.

While he was busy here, two leopards were watching nearby.

Both the big and small leopards were a little confused and couldn't understand what Xu Yang was doing.

The female leopard was also curious.

After Xu Yang set up the filter plate, he began to shovel the silt at the bottom of the river, and then shoveled it onto the filter plate one shovel at a time.

With a shovel of soil, small particles remain on the filter plate, while stones and silt are all washed away by the rushing river.

Just one shovelful after another.

Until the filter plate is filled with various sand and stones.

Xu Yang put all the sand on the filter plate into a bucket, washed it clean, and then sifted it little by little with a sieve.

Gold panning is hard work.

But now that we have discovered gold in the river, we must come and pan for it.

He looked around.

There are primeval forests all around with lush vegetation, the sounds of insects and birds, but no signs of other wild animals or human activities.

This place is very remote and very few people come here.

But we have to be prepared for the worst, after all, there are many people going up the mountain at this time.

"Dahua, help me keep alert. Tell me if anyone approaches."

Xu Yang said to the female leopard.

The female leopard looked around and gave a heavy breath in response.

I don’t know if I understand or not.

Xu Yang used a sieve to sift out the sand little by little. When there were not many sand or stones in the sieve, he began to select them with his naked eyes.

There were about seven or eight very small gold grains, each weighing probably less than 0.5 grams.

But a little bit adds up to a lot, and if you collect them all, they're quite valuable.

The quality of alluvial gold is very good and it can be sold without any additional processing.

Of course, for Xu Yang, if he wants to sell gold, he must process it himself.

Xu Yang collected the gold grains and felt a little excited.

“There really is gold in this river!”

"Golden River!"

"I didn't expect to find a place like this with a treasure hunting compass."

“The mountains are truly full of treasures!”
