Chapter 98 Shout



After sitting alone in the room drinking for most of the night, Wen Jingchi came to Chu Weiyue's room and found that she was already asleep.

I closed the door and slowly returned to my room, unable to help but reflect.

"Am I really being a little harsh towards her?"

What Shen Mubai said made sense. As someone else's fiancé, he really shouldn't say those words to Chu Weiyue.

But once words are spoken, they are like water spilled, how can they be taken back?

If he was asked to apologize to Chu Weiyue in a humble manner, it would be more difficult than killing him.

Without thinking too much, he went to bed early and went to find Chu Weiyue in person early the next morning.

Chu Weiyue was reading a book. When he noticed Wen Jingchi coming, he didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he crossed his legs and hummed a little tune.

Wen Jingchi didn't say anything either, and the two of them started a confrontation.

After a long stalemate, Wen Jingchi finally sat down opposite her.

"I need to discuss this with you. Think about it carefully."

Chu Weiyue then put down the book and glanced at him coldly: "What do you want to say?"

"You can't help much here anyway, so you might as well go back to Beijing as soon as possible. You've seen how poor it is here, and you'll only suffer here. After comprehensive consideration, I plan to let you go back."

The first half of the sentence is a discussion, but the second half is almost a decision.

Chu Weiyue sneered coldly: "Wen Jingchi, are you going to discuss it with me or decide for me? No matter what, I will not go back, because I have made a new discovery, and there may be a mine here."

"What did you say?" Wen Jingchi was stunned for a moment and shook his head in confusion.

"It's been so dry here for so long, how could there be a mine?"

"What I said is true. I am not lying to you. If you don't believe me, I will take you there right now."

Throwing the book aside, Chu Weiyue grabbed Wen Jingchi's hand and ran outside.

Afraid that she would fall, asked her to slow down.

After Shen Mubai learned about it, he followed them and brought a few guards with him, and they all arrived at the top of the mountain together.

Standing on the highest peak, Chu Weiyue pointed at the two peaks and said.

"As the saying goes, two ditches add water. This has always been the case, so there must be water in between."

There happens to be a tree in the middle. The other trees have already died, but this tree is full of vitality and is still alive and well.

Not far from this tree is where the farmer dug the mine last time.

Wen Jingchi frowned, and even Shen Mubai next to him frowned.

When they arrived at the place Chu Weiyue mentioned, they walked around the small tree a few times.

Bending down, I found that the ground was dry and cracked, and it didn't look like there was any water at all.

Wen Jingchi looked confused. "I see the ground is dry, so there shouldn't be any water. The reason why this tree is so vigorous may be related to its species. I've seen this kind of tree in a book before."

"No, it has been dry for a long time. If there is no water source underground, even a tree with strong vitality like this cannot grow for so long. Look at its lush branches and leaves. It definitely doesn't look like it lacks water. If there is really water here, those people will have hope."

There was a hint of surprise and excitement in Chu Weiyue's eyes.

Looking at her dancing expression, Wen Jingchi's eyes were a little strange.

I thought Chu Weiyue was a lazy young lady from a wealthy family in the past, but now it seems that she actually cares so much about the lives of ordinary people.

He also understood Chu Weiyue's feelings and just sighed deeply.

"There will be no water here. I advise you not to waste your efforts."

"Jing Chi is right. There really can't be water here. If there is water, how could those people not know about it? They have lived here for so many years. Could it be that they don't know about it as well as we do?"

Even Shen Mubai couldn't help but come over to persuade them.

But Chu Weiyue completely ignored their words, squatted down and started digging down with branches.

The place he dug was the same place where the farmer had dug before.

But because of her last visit, the farmer left and it seemed that he never came back to dig, probably because he was afraid of attracting attention.

Wen Jingchi couldn't help but squat down and help Chu Weiyue continue digging with a branch.

Shen Mubai joined the team, and the other guards were also busy. With their efforts, they finally found a hard rock.

This made Chu Weiyue's eyes reveal a huge surprise.

"Look, this is a rock. There must be water under the rock!"

She excitedly held Wen Jingchi's hand and almost jumped for joy.

This made Wen Jingchi a little puzzled, and he still couldn't believe it.

Chu Weiyue brought him the ancient book that he had specially found.

"If you don't believe me, you should at least believe what's written in this book. Look carefully to see if it's exactly the same as what I said. This book is old and I couldn't have made it up."

Open that page and let Wen Jingchi look at it more carefully.

Shen Mubai came over to take a look and found that it was indeed written as such.

This time, Wen Jingchi did not doubt it and found an expert in this field in a nearby city.

Because the journey was long, the old man was not brought to the scene until noon the next day.

Chu Weiyue had heard from Shen Mubai and others that this old man was a famous miner when he was young and had made a lot of contributions to the country.

Taking a look at the rocks they had dug out, the old man studied them carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, he nodded.

"According to what you said, I also think there may be water under this rock. This kind of rock is very special. Wherever there is this kind of rock, there must be a very deep mine. Based on my many years of experience, I am probably not wrong."

He looked at the side again, his eyes showing a bit of surprise.

"I see someone has dug around here, so there should be someone who is proficient in this. There is a high probability that there is water. Anyway, the people here are suffering enough, so we might as well give it a try. It won't take much effort, just a few days."

After hearing his words, Chu Weiyue's eyes were filled with approval, and she couldn't help but tell him about what happened to the farmer last time.

But there were many common people here, and since they had only met once, Chu Weiyue couldn't remember his appearance very clearly, so she could only obey.

After waiting for three full days, at noon that day, the farmer saw that there was no one around and quietly appeared, planning to continue digging the well.

Before he could move, Wen Jingchi and his men came out from the side and surrounded him.

When he saw Chu Weiyue, he recognized her instantly.

His face changed, he dropped the tools in his hand, and ran towards the forest on the side.

The guards beside him wanted to stop him, but the man was very strong and pushed the two guards away and ran away.

"Big brother, stop running. We are not trying to hurt you!"

Chu Weiyue followed and chased, shouting loudly.

But the man was only concerned with escaping and heard nothing. He fled into the dense forest and hid there.

They were not familiar with the terrain and could only shout from the side.
