Chapter 529: If a person has no shame, they are invincible

Dog-head gold is also called horseshoe gold; this thing is, in fact, a pure natural gold nugget.

However, although this thing is called dog-head gold, it is not pure gold, because it contains many impurities. If one were to give dog-head gold an accurate definition, this thing is actually gold ore with a fairly high gold content.

As a reborn person, Wang An is very clear about the value of dog-head gold.

Because although this thing is not pure gold, if you compare a piece of dog-head gold with a piece of pure gold of the same size, the value of the dog-head gold is actually much, much higher than that of the pure gold.

How exactly dog-head gold is formed has not had an accurate definition even up to later generations.

Some say this thing is a meteorite with a relatively high gold content that, in the process of falling to Earth, generated high temperatures through friction, burning off a large amount of impurities and leaving behind the remaining gold.

Others say this thing is ore with a relatively high gold content that, after natural weathering and fragmentation, under specific temperature and acid-alkaline conditions, and also requiring the geological action of flowing water, becomes a composite of placer gold.

However, in Wang An's view, the latter theory should be more accurate.

Because it is well known that the locations where this thing appears are, in the vast majority of cases, near gold mines.

Or rather, if one wants to find this thing artificially, the probability of finding it only increases if one searches near a gold mine.

The dog-head gold in Wang An's hand is flat, shaped like a horseshoe, about as thick as two cigarette boxes, and a bit larger than a cigarette box. It feels heavy in his hand, weighing about 2 jin.

Some might ask, how is it possible for a piece of gold this big to weigh only about 2 jin? Because it is well known that the volume of 1 jin of gold is about 26 cubic centimeters; 2 jin would be nearly 52 cubic centimeters.

That is to say, this piece of dog-head gold in Wang An's hand should be far heavier than 2 jin.

But what one must know is that dog-head gold is not pure gold, and the shape of this thing is also very irregular.

Some places look quite thick, but inside it is actually hollow, and the surface of this thing is not smooth, but pitted and uneven.

Wang An looks at the dog-head gold in his hand, which still carries the smell of urine, and his mood is quite excited.

Because since this thing has appeared, then if there are no special circumstances, the gold mine marked on the map should be in this vicinity.

Wang An wipes the urine-mud off the dog-head gold, turns his head, and shouts to the group:

"Hey, stop walking, all of you come back."

After Wang An shouts, he continues to examine the dog-head gold in his hand.

Hearing Wang An's shout, although the group doesn't know what's going on, they all lead their horses and return.

After the group walks up to Wang An and sees the dog-head gold in his hand, their eyes instantly light up.

Wu Dong walks up, reaches out and snatches the dog-head gold, and examines it curiously. While examining it, Wu Dong says with a chuckle:

"Not bad, Xiao An, you can even run into gold while taking a leak; your luck is truly boundless."

Hearing this, Wang An laughs smugly and says:

"That's a must. Knowing me is equivalent to knowing the God of Wealth; you guys should just be secretly happy."

But just as Wang An's voice falls, Feng Chengmin suddenly says with a smile:

"You're not young anymore, yet you talk like you're passing gas. When exactly are you going to eat the sack? We've all been waiting for several days."

It must be said that the power of Feng Chengmin's words is truly not ordinarily strong; it instantly leaves Wang An powerless, his smile freezing on his face.

Seeing Wang An's deflated look, the group also begins to jeer, asking Wang An one after another when he will fulfill his promise.

And Wang An, facing this scene, is already well-versed in it; he shrinks his neck, lowers his head, and directly starts to play dead.

Anyway, no matter how much you spit and spray, I just won't pay you any mind. It must be said that Wang An's control over human nature is truly quite awesome, and this "playing dead" approach of Wang An's is also very effective.

Because after a while, the group loses interest in attacking Wang An with words.

And Wang An also returns to that "smug" appearance from before.

The main point is: "If a person has no shame, they are invincible."

After Wu Dong finishes looking at the dog-head gold, He Liang, standing to the side, snatches it and continues to observe it.

When this piece of dog-head gold is passed to Sun Liang, Sun Liang fiddles with the dog-head gold in his hand but suddenly frowns and says:

"Xiao An, where did you pick up this gold? Why is there a... strange smell?"

After Sun Liang finishes speaking, it is immediately met with agreement from Wu Dong, He Liang, and others.

Only hearing He Liang say:

"Yeah, I smelled it just now too. Xiao An, where did you pick up this gold?"

After He Liang finishes speaking, Zhang Shuya frowns, sniffs her fingers, and says:

"Why do I feel like my gloves have a smell too?"

Wu Dong also follows up by saying:

"I was wondering just now where the smell on my hands came from; it turns out it was from this gold nugget!"

Ma Guoqiang: "..."

Without exception, everyone who agreed with Sun Liang was someone who had played with the dog-head gold in their hands.

Actually, normally speaking, if a person doesn't hold their urine for a long time, and also isn't suffering from internal heat or other physical problems, the smell of the urine will quickly disappear.

But if the amount of exercise is high and one is also sweating a lot, then when the urge to urinate comes and one does so, the smell will be very strong.

And although the group's speed of travel these past few days hasn't been fast, they have basically been walking while leading their horses, which has led to everyone urinating very rarely. So, it's not just Wang An; everyone's urine has a smell that can't be small.

Although the group's discussions rise and fall, Wang An will absolutely not explain the true situation.

The key is that this problem is truly a bit... difficult to speak of.

However, everyone is an adult and is very familiar with many smells often encountered in life.

Therefore, those who had played with the dog-head gold see Wang An keep silent and suddenly realize something.

Immediately following this, everyone looks at Wang An with unkind eyes, staring fixedly.

Actually, the reason the group didn't immediately say it was the smell of urine was just because this kind of thing is truly an exception that one would never expect.

Who could have thought, who would have thought, that the dog-head gold Wang An was holding was something he dug out of his own urine-nest?

Wang An sees everyone staring at him like wolves and immediately feels that things are going to go bad, so he immediately changes the subject and says: "Let's hurry up and search in the vicinity; I feel like this gold mine is right here."

Although Wang An's reaction speed is fast enough and his speaking speed is not slow, no one in the group takes the bait; instead, they surround Wang An in unison.

Wang An sees this scene and directly hugs his head and squats down, saying while squatting: "Big brothers and sisters, just a little bit is enough, don't beat me up."
