C20 The Two of Them Scavenged

Other than sanitation workers in the city, there are also a group of people who work at night like Uncle Dian and the other scavengers.

Of course, most of the scavengers went to various residential areas or trash cans during the day to pick up things, but recently, the residential areas were under martial law. As for the trash cans on the streets, they were preempted by the homeless people, so Uncle Dian chose to go to the garbage station to pick things up after midnight.

Their working hours were after 1 o'clock, but they would also arrive one to two hours earlier than usual to "search" the remaining garbage again.

When they set off from the bridge, Uncle Dian gave Li Er a gunny sack and a steel fork. "Tonight, the two of you will go to the newly built garbage station and start work. You will only pick up plastic and metal. It is a bit remote there. You should come back earlier! "

Li Er responded and got on Mao Yufei's motorcycle.

Mao Yufei remembered the way he came during the day and rushed to the northern suburbs at lightning speed. This place was relatively remote and sparsely populated, but it was still under development. There was a building nearby that was under construction.

They used this building as a sign. The searchlights on the roof emitted a dazzling light. In the construction site, these construction workers were rushing over overnight.

Mao Yufei parked his motorcycle outside the garbage dump. The two of them were stunned.

A blue colored steel wall had been erected around the building garbage during the day. The wall was painted with white paint. "Construction in progress. Do not approach!"

Li Er asked Mao Yufei, "Did we come to the wrong place?"

"Impossible. Uncle Ding brought us here during the day. The garbage pile must be inside!" Mao Yufei said affirmatively.

Li Er was able to get to the bottom of the wall. When he saw that there was a stone stake lying on the ground, he put it under his feet and tiptoed to look inside the wall.

The stone pillar was written with yellow paint: There is a cable underneath. It is strictly forbidden to take soil out.

Li Er was able to see the pile of building rubbish behind the wall, and it was much taller than it was during the day.

"It's here, let's think of a way to get in!" He said happily.

However, the top of the wall was very sharp. Mao Yufei said, "Let's follow the wall and see if we can get in."

Soon, the two of them found a metal door at the corner of the wall. It was labeled, "Forbidden construction area, no entry is allowed." There was also a lock on the door.

"It's locked. What should we do? How about we go back and find some uncle? " Li Er wanted to back out and ask Mao Yufei for his opinion.

Even the searchlights at the top of the building could not light up here. Mao Yufei pulled out a slender clip from his hair bun and said, "This lock is not difficult for me. Get out of the way!"

She inserted the hairpin into the keyhole of the steel lock and fiddled with it for a bit before the lock opened.

Mao Yufei proudly wanted to go in, but Li Er stopped her and asked, "Does this count as going in to steal something?"

"How can this be considered as stealing? This is the job that Station Chief Yan gave Uncle Dian, and Uncle Dian gave us. Uncle Dian will not lie to us!"

Li Er followed her into the wall and came to the side of the pile of building rubbish.

"I'll classify the bags. You'll be in charge of picking out the waste!" Mao Yufei gave the order. He opened the sack and lit a cigarette.

Li Er held the pitchfork and began to "recycle the waste."

There were many packaging cardboard boxes and foam in the garbage, as well as some metal and plastic edges. These were all recyclable materials.

Li Er was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, waving his pitchfork.

These building garbage didn't have the stink of living garbage, it was just that the dust was a bit bigger.

Two hours later, he combed through the building garbage that was like a small hill. Below was the newly dug soil, which was soft when stepped on.

In front of Feather, there was already a large amount of recyclable garbage scattered. She was so busy that her hands and feet couldn't stop moving.

Li Er intended to help her, so he stabbed the pitchfork into the ground. The sharp thorn of the pitchfork touched something hard.

"Is there anything else down there?" Li Er was able to use the pitchfork to dig down, so he dug up some useless iron pieces. He was overjoyed and continued digging. However, the deeper he dug, the less iron pieces there were.

Just as he was about to finish digging, Mao Yufei walked over and asked, "Why did you dig into the ground? Could it be that there are treasures buried underground?"

"There are no treasures. They are just some scrap metal. Our harvest tonight is not small!"

Mao Yufei also saw the scrap metal that was dug out and said, "You are also tired. Go and drink some water to rest for a while. I will tidy up these scrap metal."

Li Er could accept it. He took a sip of the water that Mao Yufei handed over. Then he closed his eyes. He was attracted by a powerful force. He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the place where he had dug. He said to Mao Yufei: "I feel that there is something buried underground. You use a flashlight to illuminate it. I'll dig again! "

Mao Yufei agreed and used his flashlight to illuminate the ground. The color of the soil was still fresh.

Li Er could dig with his steel fork continuously, so he quickly dug out some black wire. Mao Yufei picked it up and took a closer look. He cheered, "It's a cable. It's full of copper. It's very valuable!"

"A cable?" Li Er looked at the scattered crude wires and asked, "Could it be that someone buried the cable here on purpose?"

Mao Yufei seemed to have dug out gold and was still immersed in surprise. He said, "I don't care who did it. If we dig it up, it will belong to us. If you continue digging, see if there are no more?"

Li Er continued digging. The scattered cables were getting lesser and lesser. He dug at least two meters deep, and the pit was much taller than him.

"Er Neng, stop digging. Hurry up and come up. We will stop working now!" Mao Yufei stood at the edge of the pit and shouted towards the ground.

Li Er-Neng could respond. He wanted to leave but was unwilling. So he dug down again. The steel fork met something long and narrow. He threw the soil away with his hand and saw that it was a bundle of cables. However, both ends of the cables were buried underground.

"Yu Fei, I found another bundle of cables down there. However, this bundle of cables is very long. Both ends are buried under the soil. What should we do?"

Mao Yu Fei looked up at the building that was under construction. He raised his wrist to look at his watch and said to Li Er at the bottom of the pit, "Hurry up and come up. We don't have enough time today. We'll come early tonight!"

Li Erneng agreed and grabbed the rope that was hanging down to climb up.

"Let's quickly fill up this pit. Don't let anyone else notice!"

The two of them used their hands and feet to quickly fill up the scattered building garbage into the deep pit. After they were done, Mao Yufei raised his wrist to wipe away the dust on the surface. It was already 5: 30, and the sun was already up in the east.

Li Er carried a gunny sack on his back and followed Mao Yu out of the construction site after he flew. They found the motorcycle.

Mao Yufei started the car again and drove Li Er back to the village in the city. The two of them rushed back to Qi Tu's waste acquisition station at 6: 30.

Uncle Dian and Da Fei had been waiting for them here for a long time.

Li Er could throw down the gunny sack and ask Qi Tu to check the goods.

Uncle Dian expressed, "Your gains from the night were not small?"

"Yeah, not only are there cardboard boxes in the pile of building garbage, there are also plastic. There are even scrap metal and even cables!"

Qi Tu stopped after hearing this and said, "You two better not steal anything. Otherwise, I won't take it!"

Mao Yufei said, "We are the garbage station that Uncle Dian contacted. How can it be stolen? It's all trash that a beauty wants. We'll turn waste into treasure! "

Qi Moo picked up the scattered cables and said: "There's still this in that pile of building garbage?"

Li Er hurriedly explained, "I dug this under the garbage heap."

A light flashed in Uncle Dian's grayish-brown eyes, and he explained to Qi Tu, "These cables are probably scraps discarded by construction workers. They are all small pieces, and can't be used anymore!"

Li Er continued, "There are more there!" Mao Yufei quickly interrupted him and said, "There are still small pieces of scrap there. Let's go pick them up tonight. How much can these scrap cables be sold for?"

Qi Tu pulled out the copper wire from the plastic packaging. After a careful observation, he replied, "This is pure brass. It's more than 30 RMB per kilogram. If it's accumulated, it will be worth a lot of money. Let me weigh the weight of the cables you picked up."

He put the cables on the pound and said, "More than 21 kilograms. It can be sold for 600 RMB if you go out for a change!"

Dafei and Li Ereng immediately cried out in surprise.

No.
