Seeing the villagers' various expressions, Jiang Tangtang continued, "Actually, I had a dream a few days ago."
As soon as Jiang Tangtang said this, a villager immediately said, "Did the immortal appear in Gu Chang's dream again? What did the immortal give Gu Chang to retrieve this time?"
Before Jiang Tangtang could answer, another villager said, "Is that even a question? Wasn't Chief Gu just talking about the iron mine? The gods must have shown Chief Gu the way to prepare for the iron mine, right?"
Jiang Tangtang nodded and said, "This dream was indeed related to iron ore. In the dream, a deity pointed out a mountain to me, and after the deity pointed it out, the mountain actually turned into iron and copper. I guess the deity wanted to guide me through the dream that the mountain contained iron and copper ore."
The villagers were excited after hearing Jiang Tangtang's words.
If their valley has its own iron and copper mines, will they have anything to worry about in the future?
The villagers all asked, "Chief Gu, do you know where that hill is?"
Jiang Tangtang laughed and said, "I remember what the mountain looks like. I'll go look for it in the mountains after the rain stops. But don't get too excited, everyone. Even if we find the mountain, we won't be able to handle it with just the few people in our valley."
The villagers thought about it and realized that it made sense. With earthen houses being built in the valley and land being cleared for farming, they had no time to work on iron ore mining!
At this moment, everyone wished they had more hands so they could grab them all like an octopus.
Jiang Tangtang smiled at everyone's expressions but didn't say anything more. Saying more now would only make things worse. She wanted to let the villagers worry and feel annoyed for a while.
The rain came quickly and went quickly today.
The rain stopped less than half an hour after everyone took shelter in the earthen fortress.
The villagers rolled up their trousers and got busy again.
Jiang Tangtang smiled at Lu Shiyan, "Husband, come with me to the mountains and find the mountain peak of my dreams!"
Lu Shiyan knew she was mostly lying, but he didn't call her out on it. He just glanced at her clothes and said, "Would you like to change your clothes?"
Jiang Tangtang's clothes got quite a few mud spots from all the moving.
Jiang Tangtang looked down at the stains on her body and frowned, but quickly relaxed her brows and said, "No need, it's easy to get dirty in the mountains if I change my clothes, so I might as well change them together tonight."
Lu Shiyan gave her a deep look, feeling that she had changed a lot. However, he didn't say anything more, and extended his hand, saying, "Let's go!"
Jiang Tangtang is looking for sulfur and saltpeter today, so she won't spend much time on the mountain where the known iron ore is located.
She took Lu Shiyan to places he had never been before.
This time, however, she wasn't as lucky as before and didn't find sulfur or saltpeter in the valley.
Although Lu Shiyan didn't know how she could accurately find all kinds of rare medicinal herbs in the mountains each time, after spending a long time with her, he could tell from her expression that this trip was probably not going well.
Not wanting to put pressure on her, he didn't ask how she always managed to find those medicinal herbs so accurately. He also didn't ask what she planned to look for today, simply asking, "Are you tired? Would you like to rest?"
If she continued forward, she would soon leave the valley. And as far as she knew, it wouldn't be long before she reached Prince Rui's territory.
Even if a place where sulfur and nitrate can be mined is found ahead, how to mine them, how to transport them after mining, and how not to be discovered are all major problems.
She was a little troubled, so she nodded in agreement with Lu Shiyan and said, "I am a little tired. Let's find a place to rest first!"
Lu Shiyan glanced at the dark sky and thought that there might be another rain, so he found a large cave where he could take shelter from the rain.
It must be said that his judgment was very accurate. Not long after the two entered the cave, there was lightning and thunder outside, and it started to rain heavily.
Listening to the sound of wind and rain, Jiang Tangtang sighed, "Why is it raining again! I should have known..."
She stopped halfway through her sentence. So many people in the valley were crammed into the newly built earthen village.
It's not comfortable for so many people to be crammed together.
It's not bad that there are only the two of them in this spacious cave.
With this thought, her mind immediately opened up. Even the swaying branches outside and the way raindrops fell from the cave became a rare and beautiful sight.
Lu Shiyan smiled as he watched her enjoying the view outside the cave, then turned and tidied up the cave.
Knowing that Jiang Tangtang is afraid of insects, he now carries a medicated bag of insect repellent with him at all times.
He first inspected the cave, cleaning away the insects and dust, before hanging up the medicine bag he had prepared earlier. He then said to Jiang Tangtang, "I'll go out and see what we can eat. We'll rest in the cave tonight."
Jiang Tangtang said, "It's still raining outside, why don't we wait until the rain stops before coming?"
“This rain probably won’t stop anytime soon.” Lu Shiyan’s gaze fell on her clothes, and he said somewhat awkwardly, “You can change your clothes while I’m out.”
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Tangtang to speak, he strode out of the cave.
Jiang Tangtang: "..."
During their trip to Baiyue, in addition to buying sulfur and saltpeter at the pharmacy, Jiang Tangtang also bought a lot of clothes, shoes, socks, and other daily necessities.
She took out her newly bought clothes, and after looking through them for a while, she chose a light green tulle dress.
After the rain, the temperature dropped slightly, and wearing this gauze dress felt very comfortable.
Jiang Tangtang was in a good mood and took out a mat from her space to spread on the ground.
Then they took out an iron pot and some grain.
In fact, with all the grain they moved from Prince Duan's warehouse, they are not lacking in food and drink at all, and Lu Shiyan has no need to go out hunting in the rain.
He just wanted to give Jiang Tangtang some space so she could easily change her clothes.
He figured Jiang Tangtang should have finished changing her clothes by now, so he came back carrying a bundle of firewood.
"No prey was caught."
Jiang Tangtang noticed that he was soaked to the bone but was carrying a bundle of firewood, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you get firewood when it's raining so hard outside?"
Lu Shiyan said, "At the bottom of the cliff, are there any places that haven't been wet by the rain?"
Jiang Tangtang felt that the space should be expanded a bit more. That way, they wouldn't have to go out to find firewood when it rains anymore.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but think about racking up points again.
Lu Shiyan had no idea what she was thinking. He saw her eyes suddenly brighten, and then she took out a set of clothes from her spatial storage. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Husband, your clothes are all soaked. Please change!"
Lu Shiyan inexplicably felt that the smile on her face was malicious, and he said nervously, "No need. It's not wet..."
Jiang Tangtang held the clothes in one hand and pressed the other hand against his chest. "How can you not use them? Does my husband want me to help you?"
“I can do it myself.” Lu Shiyan said, taking the clothes from her hands. “Turn your back.”
Jiang Tangtang stood still. "Husband, are you shy?"
Lu Shiyan took a deep breath, looked down at her and said, "Mischievous again? Have you forgotten the lesson you learned before?"
