Hearing Li Tiezhu say this, the people who followed him were a little disappointed. After all, if they went a day later, maybe everything on the mountain would have been taken away.
Li Tiezhu glanced at the disappointed crowd and said slowly, "It just rained, so it's dangerous to go up the mountain. Don't worry, we'll need our things, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get them by then. Go home and rest now!"

Watching Lin Shouguo walk out of the office at a brisk pace, Hu Weimin shook his head. "Ah, it's still the same old thing. Forget it, let's ignore him and continue analyzing."
