The two were very affectionate and tender for a while before parting ways.
Ouyang Yuqing led Shen Yingying up the mountain.
When he led her to the middle of the mountain, about a quarter of an hour further up,
Shen Yingying saw a smooth, bare cliff wall.
She glanced at the mountain wall, pointed at it, and said to Ouyang Yuqing incredulously, "Don't tell me you just dug a hole in this mountain wall."
When Ouyang Yuqing heard her question, he did not answer directly. Instead, he led her to a secluded spot on the mountainside and picked up an inconspicuous stone slab.
A mechanism button is visible beneath the stone slab.
Ouyang Yuqing pressed the button, and the mountain wall slowly slid open from one side.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yingying couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the ancients. She thought to herself: Anyone who says that the ancients were stupid or foolish is definitely a fool.
Ouyang Yuqing was unaware of her inner thoughts.
He led her through the stone gate.
Once inside the stone gate, it was surprisingly not dark at all.
Because behind the stone gate, there is a hollow section where you can see into the open air.
Ouyang Yuqing walked to a spot inside the stone gate, casually pressed a switch, and the stone gate slowly closed again.
After closing the door, Ouyang Yuqing walked back to her side and explained to her, "Yingying, do you see this hollow place in front of you?"
She looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if asking him with her eyes, "What's going on?"
Ouyang Yuqing understood her daughter-in-law's look and then explained, "This hollow space is, of course, so that people inside can breathe air."
Otherwise, the entire mountain would suffocate if that huge stone gate closed it off.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yingying nodded, thinking to herself: No matter when, one should never underestimate human wisdom, even that of the ancients.
Ouyang Yuqing was unaware that his young wife referred to him as an ancient person.
He continued leading her forward, and after walking for a short while, someone ahead asked, "Who is it?..."
Upon hearing the voice, Ouyang Yuqing addressed the person who had inquired, "It's me!..."
Upon hearing that his master had arrived, the guard on duty immediately knelt down on one knee and said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Master, you have arrived."
"Okay, get up."
yes……
Upon hearing Ouyang Yuqing's command, the guard rose from the ground and looked at him questioningly: "Master, aren't you...?"
"Yes, I just happened to be passing by, so I brought your mistress over to take a look."
Go and call Guo Qiang here; I have something to tell him.
Upon hearing his master order him to fetch reinforcements, the guard quickly replied, "Yes, sir! I'll go fetch them right away."
Upon hearing the guard's words, Ouyang Yuqing nodded and said, "Also, have him bring me the recent production records so I can take a look."
"Yes, Master..."
The guard replied to Ouyang Yuqing and then hurriedly ran off to call for help.
Ouyang Yuqing then led Shen Yingying further into the cave.
Fluorite is inlaid on the stone walls on both sides of the cave, so the cave is not so dark.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, three forks in the road appeared ahead.
Ouyang Yuqing led her to the fork in the road directly in front of them.
Before long, Guo Qiang, whom Ouyang Yuqing had the guards call out to, walked towards them carrying an account book.
Upon seeing his master, Guo Qiang immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Greetings, Master."
After saying that, he handed the account book to Ouyang Yuqing as well.
Ouyang Yuqing stepped forward, took the ledger, and said to Guo Qiang, "Get up and speak."
Upon hearing the instruction, Guo Qiang replied, "Yes..." and then stood up.
Upon seeing Guo Qiang stand up, Ouyang Yuqing immediately asked, "How's the mining going lately?"
