Chapter 296 Throwing Herself into His Arms
Wen Wan didn't feel guilty at all and continued writing firmly, "Sweet potatoes can't be dug up everywhere. But...start digging from under that crooked tree, dig three meters east, then another three meters north, and you'll definitely find iron ore."
She raised her neck, looking confident, and wrote:
"If you can't dig out the ore, I'll take my head off and let you kick it like a ball!"
Perhaps Wen Wan's attitude was too firm, so He Qing hesitated for a moment.
Wen Wan saw this and continued, "Sir, please trust me just once. My life is in your hands."
"Besides, it's just a matter of sending a few people over to dig. There's no loss."
"My Lord, it is better to believe it."
She had said all the words by herself, what else could He Qing and the imperial guards say?
Besides, it was just as she wrote, it only required some effort to dig the soil, and there would be no loss.
Seems like a good deal?
He Qing hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trust you for once. It would be best if there really is an iron ore in that location, otherwise..."
He didn't say anything else, but Wen Wan considerately wiped his neck for him.
When He Qing saw her actions, he was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth twitched.
This mute peasant woman is very different from other women.
What a pity, he is a mute and a little...older.
Wen Wan was shocked by He Qing's inexplicable look of disgust.
She was full of sarcasm in her heart, but pretended to be ignorant on the surface, not realizing his dirty thoughts.
"By the way," He Qing said coldly before turning around, "It's not enough that your handwriting is ugly, but why are all your sentences in vernacular? Have you never learned the art of writing?"
Wen Wan: “…”
Men have a lot of shit and urine. This guy surnamed He is cruel and causes a lot of trouble.
If it weren't for special circumstances, she wouldn't bother to spend even a second with this kind of person.

The team stopped by the roadside, and because riding horses was inconvenient, everyone walked up the hillside.
Fortunately, the place Wen Wan pointed to was not far away, and we arrived there in just a cup of tea’s walk.
Shen Yu's eyesight was not good, so he stayed in the carriage, and the four imperial guards kept guarding him.
Shen Yu pretended to want to bask in the sun and opened the car window.
His eyes seemed empty, but in fact he was always keeping an eye on the group of people going up the mountain.
From a distance, one could only see a group of people stopping at the mass grave. Wen Wan stepped aside, and several imperial guards began digging the soil under the crooked tree.
They were all young men with strong hands and feet, and they dug the soil very quickly. In just one hour, they had dug a ditch half a meter deep.
Wenwan pointed to the east in a gentle and babbling voice.
So the young people extended the ditch to the east.
After Wen Wan demonstrated with her hands and feet, the young men, drenched in sweat, finally dug to the designated location when the sun was high in the sky.
As the saying goes, everything has its limits. At noon, the Yang energy should be at its peak, but for some reason, the young men who were digging the soil all shuddered.
"General..." The accompanying imperial guards were so frightened when they saw this scene that their backs felt cold and their voices trembled.
He Qing didn't expect that this place would be so weird.
Wen Wan, however, saw this and took the opportunity to perform another witchcraft show.
She first bowed to the mass grave and then called out in a low voice, but in fact she was very happy in her heart.
This is the good thing about the ancients: they don’t talk about science, they only talk about theology, and they are easy to deceive.
There's nothing weird about it. It's just that my clothes were soaked with sweat and a gust of wind happened to blow.
In this situation, any normal person would go into a cold war.
But it’s okay, as it adds a touch of metaphysical mystery to the matter.
God help me!
Wen Wan secretly thanked God, calmed down, and pointed to the end of the ditch, signaling them to continue digging deeper.
Everyone looked at He Qing, who ordered them to continue with a cold face.
Suddenly, one of the young men's hoe hit hard ore.
He threw away the hoe, quickly picked up the ore, and eagerly brought it to He Qing.
He Qing was also very shocked, "I didn't expect there really is a mine!"
A gleam of light flashed in Wen Wan's eyes, and she curled her lips behind everyone's back.
Of course there is a mine. She knew that He Qing would not trust her easily and would definitely verify her ability, so she buried a few pieces of ore at this location in advance.
After digging up the first piece, they would dig up the second piece. Everyone worked very hard, and in just a short while, they dug up five pieces of ore.
Unfortunately, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse after that, and no matter which direction they dug, they could not find any more iron ore.
He Qing kicked a stone away, strode up to Wen Wan, and grabbed her throat with his hand.
"That's it? Didn't you say there was a mine?"
Wen Wan blushed and pointed at five pieces of ore on the ground.
Isn't this a mine?
She only said there were mines, but didn't say how many there were. Five pieces of mine are still mines.
Things have come to this point, and even if He Qing is angry, there is nothing he can do.
He stared at Wen Wan suspiciously. They were hundreds of feet apart, and it was just a few pieces of ore, but she could actually calculate it?
This ability is not something that ordinary people can have.
Perhaps he had figured it out, He Qing's gloomy expression changed and his tone softened a little.
"Well, since you have the ability, then do your job well for me. When the job is done, you will definitely get some benefits."
Wen Wan nodded obediently.

At the foot of the mountain, when Shen Yu saw He Qing strangling Wen Wan's throat, his whole body tensed up and he almost rushed up regardless of everything.
Fortunately, He Qing quickly let her go.
Shen Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead imperceptibly, and his sleeves covered his eyes for a moment.
He looked solemn, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
When the group returned to the roadside, the sky was gradually darkening, with only a little light of dusk falling on the mountains and forests.
There was no village in front and no shop behind, so everyone could only set up camp on the spot.
When the sunset completely disappeared, the bonfire started burning and the dry branches crackled.
Wen Wan sat not far from the campfire, chewing a piece of dry food in her hand.
There were still red marks on her neck where He Qing had strangled her.
Shen Yu's eyes darkened.
After a while, he stood up, used his crutches to feel the way, and stumbled past her. He didn't know what he bumped into, but he stumbled and fell forward.
Wen Wan was startled and instinctively spread out her hands.
So, in front of everyone, Shen Yu threw himself into Wen Wan's arms.
Before Wen Wan could react, she heard He Qing leading the group in laughing.
“Haha, I never thought that there would be a day when General Shen would lose face and throw himself into a woman’s arms.”
"Hey, this is not surprising. Although General Shen is blind, he is still a man."
"In this remote wilderness, General Shen must have smelled the scent of a woman, so he deliberately approached her."
"General Shen, how is it? Does the scent of this peasant woman from the mountains compare favorably to the fragrance of the noble ladies from the imperial capital?"
The men were very explicit when they talked about that matter.
They were so focused on mocking Shen Yu that they even forgot to cover up Shen Yu's identity.
