Bypassing a few hills, not far from the barracks, a winding river appeared before them.

This river originated in the southeast and flowed slowly towards the northwest. The river channel was relatively narrow, about two or three meters long, with a gentle flow and a turbid water quality.

There were some Black Brother soldiers with live ammunition standing on the river bank, three steps, one stand, five steps, and a pickup truck carrying machine guns patrolling back and forth along the riverside, with a meticulous defense line.

There were a large number of black men in tattered or even unclothed clothes in the river. They bent over and screened the sand in the water. Machines were roaring on the shore. They washed the sand and put it on the machine conveyor belt. The conveyor belt ran. The people standing on both sides widened their eyes and looked for diamonds.

Li Du has seen this scene. Not long ago, there were miners working like this in the mountain stream diamond field in Remoin.

However, in comparison, the miners there are much more comfortable. They wear rubber shoes in the water, their clothes are intact, and they can go ashore to get a glass of water from time to time. After a while, the soldiers allow them to rest.

The miners here are like refugees, all of whom are expressionless and have no eyes. They are mechanically washing sand in the water, without looking angry at all.

Li Du took a deep breath and said, "Good Commander, are your diamonds dug out from here?"

Good nodded and said, "Yes, this is my mine, this is my territory, and the diamonds here belong to my wealth."

While saying that, he took Li Du to stroll along the river bank: "You see, the diamonds I found here are all pure natural diamonds. They are drawn from the sand river. They have good texture. Are they worth a high price?"

This is a fact. Generally speaking, diamonds found in the sand in the river are more valuable than diamonds obtained from crushing kimberley ore under the same size and texture.

Because although diamonds are extremely hard, they will always wear the surface of the stone skin when they are impacted by the river water over time.

In this way, diamonds of the same size can be cut and carved, and diamonds cut from river sand will have a higher utilization rate.

The river is long, surrounds the mountains, stretching out without ending.

Goode took Li Du upstream along the river bank. After leaving the mine area, you can see a large amount of sand and stone piled up on the banks of the upper reaches of the river, and there are clear excavation marks in the river channel. Obviously, this place was once a mine, but now it has been abandoned.

Keep walking up and looking into the distance, then you can see the location of Goode's military camp.

Strolling on the shore, Goode lit a cigarette and said, "I have a lot of diamonds in my hand, all of which I got from this river, so this is a river of money, right?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, congratulations."

Goode waved his hand and said, "What's the point of congratulations? This is indeed a river of money, but it's not completely in my hands."

"The source of this river is on my territory, it flows from a hill, and I always thought it was groundwater gushing out of the hill, and later I found out that maybe it wasn't."

Li Du said: "Then how is it?"

Goode slowly spitted out a smoke ring and said, "It is an underground river that has made its fortune from farther ahead, but it just flows out from me, with diamonds."

Li Du looked forward with great effort, but there were mountains on this side, with large and small earth and rocky hills, and his vision was blocked.

But he knew that according to the direction of the river rushing out, there was Remonin's territory ahead.

Goode happened to ask here, pointing forward and said, "You came from there, right? Do you know who is there, right?"

Li Du nodded silently, there is no need to deny this kind of problem.

Goode said: "I have been searching diamonds in this river for some days. To be precise, it has been five years. In these five years, diamonds in the river have been continuously flowing. No matter how big or how many, they can be found every day."

"But, just half a year ago, the number of diamonds that could be found in the river suddenly dropped sharply. At the same time, news came from my good neighbor that he also discovered the diamond mine."

As he said that, Goode laughed: "There is no river in his territory. I know that there is no river there, because I have been there, and it is a rotten place where even dog shit can't be found."

"So, where did his diamonds come from? Why did I have fewer diamonds after he found them? I can't figure it out, Mr. Li, can you tell me the answer?"

He stared at Li Du with a burning gaze, still smiling, but his smile was very gloomy.

Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "I have only been on Remoin's territory for two days. How can I get in touch with these things? But when I saw his diamonds, he did find diamonds."

Goode waved his hand and said, "It's not two days, but nearly three days. And not long after you arrived, the dog took you to a mysterious place. He took you to a diamond mine, right?"

After hearing what he said, Li Du suddenly understood: "You have installed an undercover agent next to Remoin?"

Goode smiled contemptuously and said, "Do you still need to install it? I am the owner of this land and the controller here. As long as I come forward, many people are willing to surrender to me!"

Li Du asked: "It seems that the people who surrender to you have the core subordinates of Remoin? I don't know much about the market. If you can arrive so quickly and accurately, you must have received internal news."

Goode shot the ashes and was about to say something when a guard suddenly ran towards them and came over to salute and said loudly: "Report to the commander, a worker steals diamonds, please deal with it!"

After hearing this, a warm smile appeared on Good's face again. He laughed and said, "Oh? Someone stole my diamond again? Let's go and see who is so bold?"

Li Du noticed that when Goode smiled like this, the guard shivered. Obviously, he understood the meaning of this smile, and he knew what was going to happen.

In a section of the mine in the river, two guards knelt on the ground while holding a thin black boy. The boy shouted in despair, his voice hoarse, and he seemed to be crazy.

Seeing Goode coming, the boy shouted even more crazily. He twisted his body hard, and a guard went up and kicked him hard, kicking him all over his face.

Goode walked up and asked, “Is it just him who steals diamonds?”

A guard saluted and shouted: "Yes, Commander, this is the diamond he stole!"

After saluting, the guards extended their hands respectfully, and there was a crystal stone the size of a soybean in their palms.

Goode picked up the stone and looked in the sun. The sun shone on it and emitted a gorgeous luster, which looked very beautiful.

But Li Du found something wrong with this diamond. This diamond is a bit too beautiful, right? Can the uncut diamond emit such a light?
