Li Wu frowned and said, "That's right, but spirit beasts are likely to appear in the scarlet jade production area."
"Come on, so many people have picked it in the past, and no one has ever heard of a monster, let alone a spirit beast. Let's go, if we can get even a piece of scarlet jade, we can exchange this It’s a broken wooden house, and I’ll live in a better one.”
Li Wu looked back at his small wooden house, then looked at some vegetables and radishes planted in the yard, and said, "Actually, this is quite good."
The big man patted him on the head lightly: "What's the matter? With our current situation, we can't even find a wife for you."
Li Wu said in a muffled voice, "I'm not in a hurry, it's really not possible, I can go out to find a job and pick up the task."
The big man was dissatisfied: "You are the only son in our family. What kind of mission will you take? What if something happens?"
Li Wu didn't intend to argue with his father anymore, he went back to his room and took the clothes needed for mining, and then walked towards Yigu with his father.
"Mom, let's go."
"Alright, be careful on the road."
"understood."
In this way, the father and son embarked on the road to Yigu.
On the way to Yigu, they also met many people with the same purpose. They all wore linen shirts, carried a hoe on their shoulders, and carried bamboo baskets on their backs.
Seeing Li Wu and Li Wu, they would greet each other in a friendly manner.
"Boss Li, are you going to mine again today?"
Li Wu's father smiled and nodded: "Aren't you too?"
The man said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do. You have such a promising son, so you don't have to worry about it."
Li Tou'er replied: "What are you talking about, no matter how promising a son is, he is still a son. As a father, you have to work hard for his future."
Hearing this, the man could only shake his head and smile, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Mr. Li, have you seen Er Zhuang in the past few days? I haven't seen him go mining in the past two days!"
"Er Zhuang? No, did you go to the city to drink again?"
Er Zhuang is a very nice person. He often helps everyone when they are in trouble, but he has one characteristic, that is, he loves wine very much.
As long as you have money, you will run to the taverns in the city.
"Maybe, I wanted to ask him to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus brew my daughter-in-law brought from her natal family... It's a pity, alas."
The man walked away with a sigh.
The small town where Li Touer and his son lived was in a hill. The whole town mainly lived on mining and hunting. There was no formal jurisdiction. They all dug their own, and whoever dug it would own it.
Usually, everyone goes to the foot of the mountain in the outskirts to dig mines, but since it was reported that someone dug scarlet jade in Yigu a few days ago, many people have moved to Yigu, hoping to soar into the sky.
Among all the ores, scarlet jade is an extremely rare species. Even if it is just a piece of scarlet jade the size of a thumb, the selling price is enough to cover the expenses of a family like theirs for several years.
On the way to Yigu, Touer Li chatted with Li Wu.
"Awu, I heard that the elder brother of the official's family in the city has taken a fancy to Shuang's girl from Guiming's family. Is this true or not?"
Li Wu raised his eyebrows horizontally: "I don't know."
Does he look like someone who's going to snoop on these gossips?
Li Tou'er also knew his son's character, so he continued on his own: "Speaking of which, that Li Shuang girl is really good-looking! Dad went to their house and told you before, trying to see if he could match you up. It's a pity that Li Guiming didn't agree to match the two of you."
Li Wu turned to look at his father, wondering, "When did it happen? Why don't I know anything about it?"
"Oh! It happened last year! Didn't it fail? Of course I'll tell you if it's done."
Li Touer carried the hoe and said with a smile.
"You didn't intend to get my consent."
"It's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. If you wait for your consent, then your mother and I won't have to hold grandchildren for the rest of our lives."
Li Wu hummed and stopped answering.
But he didn't speak, but his father was a real talker. He just listened to Mr. Li continue:
"But I seem to have heard that Li Shuang doesn't like that young master very much, and I don't know what the result will be?"
Li Wu was listening on the sidelines, and didn't bother to interrupt.
The father and son just talked and heard, and soon came to Yigu.
The so-called Yi Valley is a valley that crosses the mountains. Few people came here in the past. The reason is very simple. As long as it is a mountain range, there must be wild beasts and monsters.
The people in the town are basically ordinary people, few dare to come here.
But now that the news about Feiyu in Yigu has spread, many people have gathered here, and many people from other small towns and villages have come here to mine.
The more people there are, the less afraid they will be.
Li Wu stepped forward and took a look. There were indeed a lot of people gathered around Yigu. Everyone was digging in different places, and they kept digging down. There were many faces he was familiar with.
Li Wu looked at everyone's baskets, they were basically empty, and the best thing was that there was only a little black iron ore.
Yigu is actually not a land of minerals.
Li Wu, who saw all this clearly, turned back to his father and said, "Father, let's go back to the mine and Yishan honestly. Look at the people here, they basically didn't mine anything. Minerals like Crimson Jade , the output has always been very small, we can't afford to waste time here."
Chief Li glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Everyone just started mining. It's normal that you didn't get anything. Minerals are usually underground. Maybe you can find them after digging a few more times?"
As soon as Li Wu heard it, he knew that he couldn't persuade his father, so he had to give up.
He followed Mr. Li forward, stopped at a place, and began to dig hard.
The sun rose slowly in the east, and the scorching sun shone on everyone, and everyone was sweating profusely.
'It took so much effort just to gamble on that glimmer of hope. '
Li Wu sighed slightly, he still prefers a down-to-earth life.
……
Beyond the secret realm, a place forgotten by Li Wu.
Many students in Fengyun County raised their heads and looked at the pictures on the light curtain. There were fifteen pictures, and Li Wu was in the last row.
Above his picture, a section of green light slowly grew on a red bar.
This is a sign that his gate of illusion has begun to charge.
All players who enter the Illusion of Soul will have such a red energy. Their performance in the illusion will determine whether their red energy will turn green. Once all of them turn green, the player will be counted as passing the illusion.
And if the red energy fails to turn into green within the specified time, the ranking will be determined by the amount of green energy.
On the field at this time, the green energy of Li Wu and nearly half of the others has already begun to generate and increase.
Seeing this, Cheng Kaiming breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Da Zhuang is still worthy of everyone's trust in terms of character."
Nangong Yaosha nodded thoughtfully: "After all, he is the one who can say those bold words."
Cheng Kaiming also nodded: "After all, he is the one who can say such bold words."
Dongfang Yao, who was at the side, listened to the riddles of the two, rolled her round eyes and asked, "Little brother, what are you talking about?"
Nan Gongyao struggled a little, and decided to announce Li Wu's black history.
……
Li Wu has never thought that he is a smart person, but he has never thought that he is stupid, but today, he really feels that he has made a wrong decision.
He and his father came to Yigu early in the morning, staring at the scorching sun and started mining, but after a whole day, not to mention Feiyu, they didn't even dig any decent black iron ore.
He is not good at criticizing his father, but he still thinks it is wrong to do so.
At night, the father and son filled the baskets with firewood and walked towards the house. There was no minerals, and the firewood had to be ordered on time, otherwise this day would be a waste of work.
On the way back, Li Wu still decided to persuade his father, so he said: "Father, let's go back to the foot of the mountain tomorrow!"
Mr. Li was already in a bad mood when he had no harvest for a day. When he heard his son say that, he immediately had the illusion of being blamed, and immediately said angrily: "Go, go, go! It's only the first day. Isn’t it normal to dig it up? If you don’t even have this bit of patience, how can you do great things in the future! If you want to go, you can do it yourself!”
Hearing the angry scolding, Li Wu shook the bamboo basket on his back, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go to the foot of the mountain by myself tomorrow."
"you……"
Li Touer wanted to raise his hand to Li Wu, but when he saw Li Wu's stubborn expression, his heart softened suddenly.
He sighed dejectedly: "That's all, Dad will check it out tomorrow, if it's really not there, then I'll go back there."
"Ah."
Li Wu responded, carrying his father's basket in his hand, and walked home slowly.
Chapter 39 Li Wu's Journey to the Illusionary Land ([-])
The next morning, Li Wu woke up.
After he came to the mouth of the well to wash, he carried his big radish basket on his back.
"Father, then I will go to Mine Yishan first today."
Chief Li waved his hand: "Go, go."
He still wants to go to Yigu to try his luck again.
Li Wu's mother took out two pancakes: "Awu, don't forget breakfast, be careful on the road."
"Oh, I see."
Li Wu took the pancakes and walked towards the foot of the mountain where he had been mining.
After Li Wu left, his mother looked at Chief Li and asked, "Did you quarrel?"
Li Tou'er replied: "It's not a quarrel, it's just some disagreement."
Seeing Li Wu's choice today, his mother can probably guess what's going on.
She said: "Being down-to-earth is Ah Wu's strength, which is very good."
Head Li said sullenly: "That's why I didn't stop him. Anyway, I'll try there again today. If there is really no scarlet jade, then I'll go back to the foot of the mountain."
"Ah."
The so-called foot of the mountain refers to the foot of Mine Yi Mountain not far from the town. It is rich in minerals. Although it produces only some common minerals that are not precious, they are enough to feed a piece of land.
Kuangyishan is closer to the town than Yigu, but the routes of the two places are different. When Li Wu came to the foot of Kuangyishan, there was no one there except him.
Everyone has gone to Yigu, and they all dream of picking scarlet jade.
This is also understandable, and Li Wu can understand it, but he doesn't like to do it himself.
He walked into the mine and moved forward to the depths.
This mine Yishan has been mined for so long, and I don't know how many minerals are left.
Li Wu is not very concerned about this, he is a spiritual practitioner, and his goal is to practice.
Now it's just because he comes back from vacation to help his parents with some work. After this period of time is over, he will go back to Qifeng High School.
Nangong Yao has already broken through to the spiritual path, and he also wants to try not to be left behind.
With this in mind, Li Wu came to one end of the mine, where there were still many uncollected ores on the ground.
"Obviously there are a lot of ore here, but everyone wants to gamble for a piece of scarlet jade that doesn't know whether it exists or not."
Li Wu let out a heavy breath, he actually did not approve of such a choice, and even suspected that the rumor that Yigu had Feiyu was false.
He grew up here since he was a child, and he has never heard of Feiyu in Yigu.
While collecting ore and thinking, Li Wu suddenly heard a slight hum.
"woo woo woo woo……"
It seemed to be a woman's sobbing, with a hint of softness and grace.
Li Wu raised his head suspiciously, put the hoe on his shoulder and walked out.
There are countless intersections in the mine, and the roads inside are criss-crossed and very complicated.
Li Wu listened carefully to the tiny sobbing sound, and accurately judged the source of the sound with the warrior's perception.
He walked through a fork in the road, and the cry became more and more clear, until at a certain moment, the cry seemed to be right next to his ears.
Li Wu came to the corner and turned around.
"what!"
The cries turned into screams, and a frail figure kicked its feet back and flinched.
