“Although the people who killed him were with us, we had never seen them before.
Moreover, those people who talk incoherently are not Chinese people."
Chen Ruxue's heart moved slightly. If he is not Chinese, could he be a foreigner?
She didn't think that any foreigners appearing in China during this period were anything other than enemy spies.
When thinking of enemy spies, Chen Ruxue thought of the group of enemy spies who were reported in the mountains of Donglin Brigade. She wondered if there was any connection between them.
No, this is a big deal, she needs to ask carefully.
"Have you ever met their leader?" "Never. It's always been our boss who has contacted them alone."
"Tell me about the details of Old Man Mu?"
"We have never seen his true face. Every time he sees us, he is wrapped tightly in a black scarf."
Seeing that no more useful information could be obtained from this person, Chen Ruxue gave up asking any more questions and simply knocked the man and his men unconscious and threw them all to the foot of the mountain.
After a busy day, two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning of the third day, the scarred man sent Bing'er to inform Chen Ruxue, "My foster father said that he has done all the favors for you, and now it's your turn to help him.
Our people have found the whereabouts of that group of people. Get ready and follow me!"
Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan packed up simply and followed Bing'er and Big Beard to another hill.
It took us most of the day to finally reach the destination.
They didn't dare to go forward rashly, not because they were afraid of those people, but mainly because they were afraid that they would scare them, which would be bad.
The scarred man had specifically instructed that we must have a good attitude.
"Shh! Let's not go over there yet. Let's observe first and find the right time to appear in front of them."
Bing'er was whispering to the bearded man about the plan.
After listening for a while, Chen Ruxue felt it was really boring, so she walked a few steps to the side and began to observe the group of geological researchers.
As I was looking, a familiar figure appeared before my eyes.
Chen Ruxue rubbed her eyes in disbelief and looked again, only to find that she was indeed not mistaken. "Brother Nan, look quickly, is that person over there my godmother?"
"Where is he? Let me see!" Ye Haonan looked in the direction of Chen Ruxue's finger and recognized the man at a glance as Feng Mingzhu.
"No wonder godmother didn't ask me to reply, saying that they might not receive the letter if they were traveling so far. I really didn't expect that we would run into her here." Chen Ruxue said with sudden realization.
"Yeah, it's really hard to come this far!"
"Yes, that's true, but I think my godmother seems quite happy. It seems that she really loves this job from the bottom of her heart.
No, I have to go say hello to my godmother. I haven’t seen her for such a long time, I don’t know if she can still recognize me.”
After Chen Ruxue finished speaking, she stood up and walked forward.
On the other side, Feng Mingzhu was discussing something with the captain, and she saw a man waving and running towards her from a distance.
Seeing this, Feng Mingzhu was a little scared, thinking that it was someone who was bad for them, but when she looked carefully, the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed.
Without bothering to talk to the captain, he walked forward a few steps quickly and called out, "Xiaoxue, is that Xiaoxue?"
"Godmother, it's me, I'm Xiaoxue."
Finally, Chen Ruxue ran to Feng Mingzhu and gave her a big hug. "Godmother, I'm so happy to see you here."
Feng Mingzhu patted Chen Ruxue's back gently, "I'm happy, and my godmother is happy too.
I haven't seen you for two years. Xiaoxue seems to have grown taller and become prettier. "
"Really, Godmother? I didn't even notice. By the way, Godmother, why did you stay out for so long without even taking a vacation?
You don’t know that Tuantuan and Qiuqiu often talk about grandma at home!
My mother-in-law is always thinking about you, especially during the holidays. She is always worried about you. If you hadn't written to let us know you were safe, we would have reported you to the police."
Chen Ruxue kept nagging, her mouth never stopping for a moment, as if she wanted to finish saying everything.
After a long time, when Chen Ruxue finally calmed down, Feng Mingzhu pulled her aside and introduced her to the team leader, "Xiaoxue, this is Comrade Jiang, the team leader of our exploration team.
Comrade Jiang, this is my goddaughter Xiaoxue."
After introducing the two to each other, Feng Mingzhu took Chen Ruxue's hand again and said, "Why did you come all the way here, kid? Is there something wrong?
Where's Haonan? Why didn't he come with you? He's such a grown man, how could he let you do such nonsense?"
"Godmother, don't worry, Ye Haonan came with me. Look, he's over there."
Chen Ruxue waved vigorously at Ye Haonan.
Ye Haonan briefly explained the situation to Bing'er, then strode towards Chen Ruxue.
After the three of them met, they talked for a long time, until their mouths were dry and their tongues were parched.
Captain Jiang, who was standing aside, hurriedly invited Chen Ruxue and the others to go into the tent to rest and drink some water.
"Godmother, you've been running outside for so long, are you looking for something?"
Feng Mingzhu glanced at Captain Jiang and didn't hide anything, "Yes, that year we received an order from above, telling us to find all the rare metals no matter what.
Now, there's only one of these left. We've traveled all over the country, but we haven't found the last one. And that's why it's delayed everyone's return home."
Chen Ruxue had indeed heard of the rare metals that Feng Mingzhu mentioned. Moreover, in her era, they were extremely important materials needed in various aspects of chemical industry.
But, isn't it just about finding this ore? What's so difficult about it? Although she doesn't understand, she has the system, and Xiao De can help her find it.
"Xiao De, can you find the thing that godmother just mentioned?"
"Host, that thing is on this mountain. You can lead them to the hillside on the left now, and then you will find it."
"It's that simple, are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true. Please don't question this system."
"Godmother, I think the tree on the left is very beautiful. Can you come with me to take a look?"
Feng Mingzhu would always respond to Chen Ruxue's requests. As long as she wanted something, he would satisfy her.
"Captain Jiang, I'll take my goddaughter over to look at the tree first and will be back soon."
Chen Ruxue pulled Feng Mingzhu and went straight to the hillside on the left.
Just as he stood still, Xiao De's anxious voice came, "Host, hurry down the hillside. It's under the thickest tree."
Chen Ruxue walked down hurriedly, and finally, she found an inconspicuous stone.
She feigned surprise and hurriedly called out to Feng Mingzhu, "Godmother, come quickly! Look at this stone! It looks so strange!"
