After the family enjoyed a happy dinner, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan discussed it for a while and decided to leave the valley that night.
Lu Chenyan was very reluctant to see his father leave again after just returning home.
He didn't cry, he just stared at the two of them with longing eyes, which made everyone's heart melt.
Jiang Tangtang almost couldn't resist taking him with her.
But thinking about what she and Lu Shiyan were going to do tonight, she held back.
She went over and hugged Lu Chenyan. "Go to sleep, okay? We'll be back tomorrow morning."
"Really?" Lu Chenyan looked at her with a slightly doubtful gaze. It wasn't that he didn't believe Jiang Tangtang's words, but mainly because Jiang Tangtang often left with Lu Shiyan before, and they would be gone for many days at a time.
"Of course it's true." Jiang Tangtang kissed his chubby little face and held out her hand, saying, "How about we make a pinky promise?"
Lu Chenyan stretched out his soft little hand, bent his little finger, and made a pinky promise with Jiang Tangtang.
After making a pinky promise, the little guy smiled again and even showed concern for the two of them, saying, "Mommy, Daddy, please be careful."
"Okay!" Jiang Tangtang smiled and pinched his cheek, then got up and left the valley with Lu Shiyan.
They came out of the valley today mainly to carry cloth and other things back into the valley.
Lu Shiyan had already had the fabrics and cotton for sewing clothes placed in a secluded warehouse. Jiang Tangtang only needed to put everything into her spatial storage.
A few days ago, Jiang Tangtang converted all the career points she earned into space area. Now, she can put all these things in without having to organize the space.
However, if she were to go and inspect Prince Rui's iron mine, her space might not be enough.
So she started talking to Lu Shiyan about the iron mine.
Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, asking, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "Is that even a question? Of course, we'll rescue all those people and then take all the iron ore and other things that are dug out."
"What are your plans for these people after they are rescued?"
Jiang Tangtang had thought about this matter repeatedly. She said, "If they are willing, I would like to bring them to the valley to settle down. If they are not willing, they can go home on their own."
Once they arrive in the valley, whether they choose to cultivate the land or work in the mines is entirely up to them.
These people have been locked up in illegal mines for so long, they must have a deep-seated trauma from mining.
Therefore, she chose the principle of autonomy regarding their resettlement. Whether they wanted to farm in the valley or work in the mines was entirely up to them.
However, the mine she built was fundamentally different from the black mine owned by Prince Rui.
The mine she built not only paid its workers salaries, but also implemented a comprehensive set of welfare and safety measures to protect the safety and interests of its employees to the greatest extent possible.
She believed that when the time came, many people would volunteer to work in the mine without her having to say anything.
She is perfectly capable of settling so many people.
The only problem is that they rescued so many people and brought them into the valley, how could they prevent outsiders from discovering this hidden valley?
Lu Shiyan said, "You just need to figure out how to settle them. As for how to bring them into the valley without anyone noticing, leave that to me."
Jiang Tangtang blinked, looking at him with a hint of curiosity, "What are you planning to do?"
She was really curious about how they managed to rescue so many people and send them into the valley.
Lu Shiyan smiled at her, but then said mysteriously, "You'll find out when the time comes."
Jiang Tangtang: "..."
What's the difference between this and arousing someone's desire and then saying they can't perform?
She blinked and coaxed him, "Tell me, I'm really curious."
Helpless, Lu Shiyan could only express his thoughts. Actually, the matter was quite simple.
They used fire to make it seem as if all the managers and workers of the illegal mine had died in the fire.
Then, the miners who had been rescued earlier were given new identities and sent to Puzhou, and then another opportunity was found to send them into the valley.
This sounds simple, but it's not easy to do.
Whether it's setting a large fire to deceive the Prince Rui, changing the identities of these illegal miners to help them escape, or their subsequent resettlement, none of these tasks will be easy.
In addition, we must also consider whether there are any dangers to their safety among the rescued miners.
Don't think that just because he saved them, they will be grateful to him.
In reality, human nature is very complex.
Unexpected events could very likely occur, so thorough preparations must be made in advance.
"I'll discuss the specifics tomorrow. I'll go with the crow to check out the local terrain first, and then we'll talk about it."
Jiang Tangtang asked, "What about me?"
“You won’t be going this time,” Lu Shiyan said. “I might be infiltrating the black mine, and it won’t be convenient to take you with me.”
Jiang Tangtang also knew that apart from having a space and being able to act as a super mover in critical moments, she couldn't be of much help at other times.
She nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Are you unhappy?" Lu Shiyan asked, observing her expression.
"No!" She's not really being unreasonable; why would she be upset over such a small thing?
"Hurry up and pack your things, let's go back quickly!" Jiang Tangtang put all the furniture that had been stored in the warehouse into her space, and then put all kinds of fabrics, cotton and other materials into her space.
After finishing his work, Lu Shiyan took Jiang Tangtang back to the valley.
As usual, once they exited the cave, Jiang Tangtang took out the items from her spatial storage.
But it was still dark, so the two of them weren't in a hurry to go back and call for help.
Jiang Tangtang glanced at Lu Shiyan and asked, "Are you hungry?" As she spoke, she took out a handful of chestnuts from her spatial storage. "Want some?"
Recently, the wild chestnuts on the mountain have ripened, and she picked a lot of them and took them home, frying them with coarse sand and stones to eat as snacks.
But wild chestnuts are small and really hard to peel. She's been so busy these past few days that she hasn't had a chance to eat any.
Looking at the bright stars in the sky, Jiang Tangtang happily took a bite of a roasted chestnut.
After that, things weren't so pleasant. Wild chestnuts were too difficult to peel; she tried for a long time without getting a single one out.
Seeing her struggling with the small chestnut in her hand like a cat with its fur standing on end, Lu Shiyan chuckled and took one from her.
Then Jiang Tangtang saw that the small chestnuts, which were very difficult to peel in her hands, were peeled cleanly and easily in his hands.
When Lu Shiyan met Jiang Tangtang's shocked, adoring, and incredulous gaze, he inexplicably felt pleased.
He smiled and fed her a peeled chestnut.
When their slightly rough fingers touched their soft lips, they both paused for a moment.
Jiang Tangtang suddenly felt that the moonlight tonight was breathtakingly beautiful.
