Chapter 403 You Are Worthy
"There is copper on this stone, which means there is a large amount of copper where you picked up the stone. If it can be developed, it will be a great thing for our motherland." Tang Qingwen said excitedly.
Li Yiyi took a look at the stone in his hand, and then she asked him where he found it. Finally, she learned that he found the stone from the pile of firewood she picked up.
He guessed that the stone was probably picked up from the place where he collected firewood, so he told him the place where he was looking for firewood.
After knowing this place, Tang Qingwen and Wu Botong decided not to follow them down the mountain for the time being, but to go to the place where Li Yiyi picked up the stone.
Li Yiyi knew that the two had made up their minds, so she didn't try to persuade them any more. When they left, she gave them some of the remaining animal-repelling incense and detoxification pills.
"Thank you so much, Comrade Li. Thank you. Our country is in short of these things right now. If you really find them, Comrade Li, you will be a great benefactor of our country..." Tang Qingwen looked at the two things she took out with a grateful face.
After spending a day and a night with them, they both knew how valuable the two things Comrade Li took out were in this forest.
They all witnessed how the man named Ye Fan suffered such a miserable end after he was separated from these two things.
So the two things given by others literally saved their lives.
"You're welcome. Compared to you, I'm far behind. Besides, what you did deserves this." She spoke while looking at the two of them with admiration.
After lunch, Tang Qingwen and Wu Botong said goodbye to everyone and walked in another direction.
Hong Shuo walked over to Li Yiyi and watched Tang Qingwen and the others leave. At the same time, he asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, will anything happen to them if they go there alone?"
"No, this place is quite far away from the deep mountains. I observed while collecting firewood and there are no footprints of large wild animals around. They will not be in danger." Li Yiyi replied.
"What mission is Jiang Hong going into the mountains to carry out this time?" She immediately looked at him and asked.
Hong Shuo was stunned. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law was waiting here to ask him questions. His mouth seemed to be stuck with glue and he made mumbles.
Li Yiyi smiled and said, "If it's inconvenient to say, then just pretend I didn't ask."
Hong Shuo saw her turn and leave, thought for a moment, and quickly followed her, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this is a mission, we can't reveal it to anyone, please bear with me."
Li Yiyi smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, I'm not angry. I know your rules. I was just asking out of curiosity."
Next, everyone rested there for a while, until the sun was not so hot, and then the group continued to head towards the foot of the mountain.
It was almost evening when the group saw the village at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the village with smoke rising from chimneys, the big guy who had been traveling all day suddenly showed an excited smile on his face.
The existence of a village here means something. It means that they are safe, that they can have food to eat and hot showers to take.
As soon as they entered the village, they immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw five or six young men supporting a gray-haired old man walking towards them.
"Stop, who are you? Why did you come to my Liujia Village?" The old man blocked their way with his crutch and asked loudly.
Shen Zhou smiled and walked up to the old man to explain, "Hello, uncle, you are the village chief, right? We are coming down from the mountain. We are researchers who went into the mountain a few days ago. We happened to pass by your village when we were coming down the mountain. Now we are really tired and hungry. Can we stay at your village for one night?"
After he explained this, a man standing next to the old man whispered in his ear, "Village chief, this is true. I went to see it before, and it was indeed these people. I recognize them."
The village chief then stopped questioning them.
"Okay, you can stay for one night. There happens to be a room in the village where the young people can stay for one night. As for food, you can pay a little money and we can help you cook and so on." The village chief explained.
Everyone had no objection to the arrangement and quickly agreed.
The village chief called the villager who had just spoken to him and said, "Dazhu, take these people to the house where the educated youth lived before."
"Okay, Village Chief, just leave this matter to me. I will do it properly." Dazhu patted his chest and assured the village chief.
After getting his assurance, the village chief felt relieved and let the villagers behind him help him back to the village.
"By the way, I remember that it was Doctor Ye who led you into the mountains. Why didn't Doctor Ye come back with you?" On the way there, Dazhu kept looking back at the back of the team. When he saw that he didn't find the person he was looking for, he couldn't help but ask.
When the people who were walking with him heard his question, their faces became a little subtle and no one answered his question.
Just when Dazhu was puzzled, Li Yiyi asked, "Brother Dazhu, from your tone, are you very familiar with Ye Fan?"
"Of course I am very familiar with him. Doctor Ye is the main doctor in several villages near us. If we have any headache or fever, we will ask him to treat us. His fees are not expensive, which is much more cost-effective than going to the hospital." He said happily.
Li Yiyi pulled the corner of her mouth and continued to ask, "From what you said, Doctor Ye is a pretty good person. Do you know where he is from?"
"He lives in Zhujia Village. I heard that he was picked up by someone and was raised by a blind old woman, but the old woman passed away a few years ago."
At this point, Dazhu seemed to have sensed something was wrong, so he stopped and looked towards Li Yiyi, asking curiously, "Comrade, why are you asking about Doctor Ye? Is he okay?"
Li Yiyi smiled, not daring to look him in the face. She looked away and answered, "He's fine. He's just a little curious about Doctor Ye."
"So that's how it is. I was scared to death. I thought something happened to Dr. Ye." Dazhu said with a smile.
Just as they were passing a house, a child's scream scared them and stopped them in their tracks.
"What happened? Why is the child crying so miserably?" Liu Caifeng was so scared that she grabbed Wu Meiting tightly beside her and asked with a frightened look on her face.
