When I saw the cats and girls squatting and playing on the ground, I thought I had misjudged them, but as I walked closer and picked them up, they looked more and more alike. I remember my bald geography teacher in high school saying that Yunnan is one of China's five largest precious stone producers.
Could these stones really be the legendary emeralds? I've only seen emeralds in the exhibition hall when I was visiting museums with my roommates in university in the spring. It's said that the smaller emeralds would cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands if they were of a lower quality. But the better quality emeralds are priceless treasures, and even millions or hundreds of millions wouldn't necessarily be able to buy them.
The cats and girls watched as I took their emeralds, which they were playing with like balls, and looked at me in confusion. To them, these emeralds were no different from ordinary stones. However, I knew that if the cat girl and her mother's emerald was exchanged for cash, it would be enough to be exchanged for hundreds or even thousands of pigs.
I excitedly took the cat girl's emerald. Then, I pointed to the emerald in my hand and asked the cat girl in a trembling voice,
"From where?"
"Meow?"
The cat girl's grey ears twitched, and a hint of confusion appeared in her round eyes. It was unknown if she didn't understand my words or if she really didn't know where these emeralds came from.
Seeing that the cat girl didn't understand my words, I simply held the emerald in one hand and walked out of the cave with the cat girl in the other. The cat girl was half squatting and half walking as I pulled her out of the cave.
"This, stone, where did you find it?" After pulling the cat girl out of the cave, I stared intently at the cat girl's large green eyes. Then I patiently pointed at the emerald in my hand and pointed at the distant mountain, asking her where she had found this rock.
"Meow ~?" "Meow, meow!"
The cat girl tilted her head and blinked her large eyes, as if she didn't understand what I meant at first, but after I pointed at the mountains in the distance and pointed at a few places with my finger, the cat girl understood what I meant. She knew that I was asking her where Ancestral Mother Green came from.
"Meow!" "Meow ~!" Understanding what I meant, the cat girl took my hand and ran towards the north side of the waterfall.
The cat girl and I jumped over the narrow river in front of the waterfall, then we ran for a short distance, and finally we ran past a bunch of rocky beaches. Finally, we ran to a mountain wall a few hundred meters away, and the mountain wall was over a hundred meters tall, and it was at a 70 degree angle, making it look very steep. At the bottom of the mountain wall, there was a large, messy rocky field.
And when I looked up at the wall above me, I was completely shocked.
Because I could clearly see that the surface of the mountain wall where the fault was located was actually a large expanse of glossy green rocks, just like a large chunk of emerald embedded in the mountain.
Damn, there are so many natural gems inside this mountain, could it be that this mountain is a gemstone ore?
I was trembling with excitement, of course.
Did I really discover the gemstone ore?
Of course, since I'm not a professional geologist, I don't know if this is a pure gem or not. But from my first glance, I can tell that the surface of the mountain is smooth like jade.
Damn, if these were all gems, then how much would this mountain of gems be worth?
Damn, this whole mountain should be worth at least several hundred million, maybe even billions, right? Furthermore, who could guarantee that there were no gemstone ore in the other mountains nearby? If the other mountains also had gems, then this entire region would be a great gemstone ore. That would mean this place would be a city of gems, with a value of at least hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions of gems.
At that time, I was so excited that I almost cried out. Although the era was different, the surprise of finding the treasure was the same no matter what era it was.
The location of the Yunnan Shangri-La Grand Canyon was rather remote and was also the territory of a few ethnic minorities. The amount of people that came here to explore might be few, so there were no gemstone ore in this area. Now I found out, it was like a windfall.
If I were to die of excitement in the twenty-first century, it would be as exciting as the discovery of gold in the United States by European colonists in the nineteenth century. But the problem is that I'm no different from a primitive man. What use are these gems to me?
I lowered my head and looked at the pile of rubble on the ground. Due to the fact that the mountain walls had been broken, quite a few fragments of natural gems had fallen into the rubble. Although they were mixed with ordinary rocks, from the exposed parts, the texture of the gems was extremely pure.
F * ck, laozi is really going to post it.
My feet stepped on a pile of rocks. Looking at the gems on the ground, I really wanted to laugh out loud. The cat girl looked at my face full of joy. She tilted her head and looked at me in puzzlement.
"Meow ~ ~?" The cat girl blinked her eyes, puzzled. As an orc, how could she know the value of these gems?
I was excited for a long time, but after the joy passed, I thought about my situation and my heart immediately calmed down. I rummaged through the rubble for a while and found that there were quite a few gems here. The purity of the gems was also very high, but I couldn't move much by myself. In the end, I could only carry a few millstone-sized, relatively pure emerald ores back to the cave.
That night, as I sat in front of the bonfire, I couldn't stop thinking about the dreams of the gem. If I could convert these gems into cash, I'm afraid I could become a gem merchant and become a million or even a billionaire. At that time, I would truly have status and position, but I'm a man now, so it's impossible for me to enter society. Furthermore, I'm still in the Beastman Tribe, so it's impossible for me to change hands with these gems.
In the next few days, I became a thorough geological explorer and continuously inspected the gemstone ore near the broken arm. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to find, just as I had expected, that some of the mountains nearby seemed to be rich with gemstone ore.
I've already stayed in the tribe for two months, and the females have already completely treated me as one of their own. They won't stop me even if I walk around randomly, because they know that I will definitely return.
However, as the weather got colder, the female beasts became more and more restless, because they had finished eating all the food in the tribe. Although the female beasts had come back with a lot of meat and other food from the White Clan, the quantity was still limited, so after a period of time, they still finished all the food. In addition, the prey in the forest was becoming less and less, so the female beasts still had to face the crisis of food. Of course, even if that's the case, female Boss and the rest would still give me their remaining food, while they would only eat some bones or scraps of food. At that time, looking at the surrounding female Beastmen drooling with eyes filled with hunger, I felt really bad. Furthermore, as the food became less and less, female Boss seemed to become more and more agitated. She would often walk around in the big cave, looking worried.
At that time, I knew that the female Boss would probably take some actions.
It was almost the first morning of January. When the sun had just shone into the valley from the top of the mountain and landed on the waterfall, female Boss let out a long burst of wolf howls in the open space outside of the big cave.
Hearing female Boss's shout, my heart tightened, and all the females in the big cave ran out of the cave and gathered in the open space outside.
I followed her out of the cave. At that time, female Boss was standing on a tall rock, howling loudly. In front of her, hundreds of female Beastmen were looking at each other with determination written all over their faces.
At that time, I realised that the female Boss was probably going to attack the White Clan again.
At that time, my heart tightened. Damn, I can't do that.
However, looking at the hundreds of female beastmen in front of female Boss, whose stomachs were rumbling with hunger as they followed along in agreement, I really couldn't bear to watch them starve.
At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind and I suddenly thought of a solution.
Perhaps, I can bring the female Beastmen to trade the gemstones for food from the White Clan, and then have the one-eyed women and the other White Clan people sell the gemstones to exchange for cash. If I can go to the county to buy more pigs and sheep, or even other daily necessities, it might be able to resolve the conflict between the female Beastmen and the White Clan, and can even form a virtuous circle.
When I thought of this idea, I almost cried out in excitement!
F * ck, laozi is a genius!
