144 Mining Map (2)

Ye Xuan said, “Why would I lie to you? Don’t worry.”

Ye Xuan glanced at Zheng Jianghao, who was still immersed in excitement, and instructed, “Bring more people tomorrow and go straight to Zhengyang Village. I’ll go with Liu Yanran to find Liu Zonglin and the others. We’ll meet at Zhengyang Village at the end.”

Zheng Jianghao immediately agreed and went out to prepare his people.

After Ye Xuan saw him leave, he took out his phone and called Liu Zonglin to inform him of his arrangements.

“Let’s meet tomorrow and go to Zhengyang Village together. I’ve also prepared some people over there. You should prepare yourself too!”

Liu Zonglin hurriedly agreed on the other end of the phone. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do my best to complete the mission you gave me.”

After hanging up, Liu Zonglin immediately began to prepare.

The next morning, while Ye Xuan and the others were still dreaming, the entire Zhengyang Village had already begun to wake up.

As Zhengyang Village was relatively remote and backward, the village still maintained the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

The old people didn’t sleep much to begin with, so they had long gotten up and cleaned up the house. Then, they picked up the tools that they had used for decades and prepared to go to the fields.

All the food in Zhengyang Village was grown by the diligent hands of the villagers.

Therefore, even though there were only some old people and children left in the village, they still maintained the habit of working.

Although the old people’s movements were a little slower, being able to get off the ground meant that their bodies were still strong. They had to finish their daily work even if they had to endure it.

If they did not work for a day, they might starve in the following days.

“Uncle Li, you’re here so early today too! Have you eaten breakfast?”

“Not yet! I thought that it would be cooler in the morning, so I deliberately woke up early! You’re doing well by waking up so early too!”

“Damn, don’t mention it! My prodigal mother woke me up early in the morning. It’s difficult not to think of it!”

During the intervals between work in the field, everyone chatted and laughed with the neighbors around them. They were also leisurely.

They were not young anymore, but they were very careful to avoid the issue of their children.

As long as their children were mentioned, it would be the pain of all the elders in Zhengyang Village. In order to survive, the children would all travel far away to work. They might not come back even after going out for a few years.

Did they miss their children?

The answer was obvious.

However, there was nothing they could do. Even if they missed their children, this wouldn’t produce money or fill their stomachs.

After another two hours, white smoke floated out of every house in Zhengyang Village. At this moment, the women at home began to cook.

When the old people working hard in the fields saw the smoke, they picked up their farming tools and walked towards home.

After working for the entire morning, they were also very tired. They could go back for breakfast and rest their feet.

“Child, why did you run out again? Hurry up and go home!”

“Also, you children, hurry up and go home to eat. All of you only know how to play!”

“Haha, children are naturally playful. The weather today is not bad. If they want to play, let them play for a while!”

On the way home, there were a few curses from time to time. They were calling their children home to eat.

Their rough and hoarse voices were accompanied by a thick accent, giving off a different kind of warmth.

Perhaps this was the truest state of life.

Chatting, laboring, arguing, laughing, and scolding were all out of duty and love.

During breakfast, the sun slowly rose.

The children ate their breakfast quickly and anxiously. They all looked forward to going out to play with their friends.

There were already many children gathered at the entrance of the village. They gathered together and played an unknown game.

“Wow, look, there are so many big cars over there!”

The children who were playing at the entrance of the village pointed into the distance and shouted. Everyone instantly looked into the distance.

The children shouted and ran into the village.

As they ran, they shouted, “Everyone, come out and take a look. Many big cars are coming to us!”

When the villagers heard the sound, they walked to the street and looked into the distance.

The few young people in the village also walked out of their houses. They looked at the convoy running towards them excitedly and said, “Are the developers from the city here?”

As far as the eye could see, there was a Hummer driving on the yellow dirt road.

The Hummer was full of horsepower, sweeping up the yellow soil along the way.

Only a powerful off-road vehicle like the Hummer could deal with such a rugged mountain road.

That scene was beautiful and domineering.

As the Hummer convoy gradually approached, the villagers could finally see the car clearly.

What they saw frightened them so much that they stood rooted to the ground.

They had seen small cars before, but they had never seen such a big and strong off-road vehicle.

In their eyes, the huge exhaust tube was like the huge nose of a water buffalo, spewing out exhaust gas.

Those small cars were basically not even as tall as a person, but if a person stood beside a Hummer, shorter people would not even be as tall as the hood.

An older man in the crowd clicked his tongue in fear and muttered to himself, “How is this a car? I’ll believe you if you tell me that this is a tank!”
