Chapter 39 Li Wu’s Journey to the Illusion (2)(1/2)
The next morning, Li Wu woke up.
After he came to the wellhead to wash up, he carried his big basket on his back.
"Dad, I will go to the mine and move the mountain first today."
Mr. Li waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead."
He still wants to try his luck in Yigu again.
Li Wu's mother took out two pancakes and said, "Ah Wu, don't forget breakfast, and be careful on the road."
"Yeah, I got it."
Li Wu took the pancake and walked towards the foot of the mountain where he had been mining.
After Li Wu left, his mother looked at Mr. Li and asked, "Did we have a fight?"
Leader Li replied: "It's not really a quarrel, it's just some disagreements."
Seeing Li Wu's choice today, his mother could probably guess what was going on.
She said: "Awu's advantage is that he is down-to-earth, which is very good."
Leader Li said dullly: "That's why I didn't stop him. Anyway, I'll try there again today. If there really is no Feiyu, then I'll go back to the foot of the mountain."
"Hmm."
The so-called foot of the mountain refers to the foot of Mine Mountain not far from the town. It is rich in minerals. Although it only produces ordinary minerals that are not precious, it is enough to support a land.
Kuangyishan is closer to the town than Yigu, but the routes between the two places are different. When Li Wu came to the foot of Kuangyishan, there was no one else there except him.
Everyone went to Yigu, dreaming of picking Fei Jade.
This is understandable. Li Wu can understand it, but he doesn’t like doing it himself.
He walked into the mine and headed deeper.
This mine has been mined for so long, and I don’t know how much minerals are left.
Li Wu doesn't care much about this. He is a spiritual cultivator, and his goal is to practice.
Now he is just coming back to help his parents with some work during the holidays. After this period of time is over, he will go back to Qifeng University.
Nangong Yao has broken through to the spiritual path, and he also wants to try not to be left behind.
With this idea in mind, Li Wu came to one end of the mine, where there were many ores that no one had collected on the ground.
"Obviously there are a lot of ores here, but everyone just wants to gamble on a piece of crimson jade that doesn't even exist."
Li Wu let out a deep breath. He actually did not agree with that choice. He even suspected that the rumor that Yigu had Feiyu was false.
Growing up here, he had never heard of Feiyu in Yigu.
While collecting ore and thinking, Li Wu suddenly heard a slight whine.
"Woo...wuwuwu..."
It seemed like a woman's sobs, with a touch of gentleness and grace.
Li Wu raised his head in confusion, put the hoe on his shoulder and walked out.
There are countless intersections in the mine, and the roads inside are crisscrossed and very complicated.
Li Wu listened carefully to the tiny sobbing sound, and relied on the warrior's perception to accurately determine the source of the sound.
As he walked through a fork in the road, the cry became clearer and clearer, until at a certain moment, the cry seemed to be right next to his ears.
Li Wu came to the corner and turned around.
"Ah!"
The cries turned into screams, and a delicate figure kicked its feet and shrank back.
Li Wu was also almost startled by the scream. He lowered his gaze and was slightly startled after seeing the woman's face clearly: "Li Shuang? Why are you here?"
The woman named Li Shuang raised her head when she heard the other party calling her name and expressed doubts.
It was a little dark in the mine, and she stared intently for a while before she gradually figured out who was coming.
"Li...Li Wu?"
Li Wu looked around for a while and found that Li Shuang was the only one around. He asked:
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
Li Shuang asked the same question as him.
Li Wu was stunned for a moment and said matter-of-factly: "I'm here to mine."
Li Shuang had just cried, and her tone was still choked: "But...but, didn't you all go to Yigu?"
Li Wu grabbed the rattan of the basket and shook it upward: "Oh! My father and others went, but I didn't go. What about you, why are you here?"
Li Shuang hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I...I escaped."
"Escape?"
"I...my father wants to marry me to the city, but I...I don't want to go."
Li Wu suddenly realized that he quickly remembered what his father had said yesterday about the noble man from the city government who had fallen in love with Li Shuang. Was it probably because of this that she ran away?
"If you don't want to go, don't go. Why run away?"
Li Wu asked directly. He often thinks about things in a one-sided way, and being emotional is not his style.
Li Shuang explained: "I said it, but...my father said that the other party was rich and powerful, so he had to agree."
"Why can't someone with money and power refuse to agree? Does the other party still dare to rob a civilian girl?"
Although their town is somewhat backward in development, it still knows how to use the Internet to protect rights. Especially after the emergence of Li Wu, a talented spiritual cultivator, the entire town has also gained a certain amount of attention.
Tianling Continent is a relatively peaceful world. Li Shuang's father's worries cannot be said to be unnecessary, but they are not to the point where he has no choice.
Li Shuang hugged her legs and sat on the ore ground with her head lowered.
"Gululu..."
A strange sound sounded, and Li Shuang's face immediately turned red.
"Well...I'm sorry, I..."
Li Shuang wanted to explain, but when she looked up, she saw Li Wu directly handing over two pancakes.
"Eat it if it's clean."
The pancakes are packed with clean white cloth and are not dirty.
Li Shuang looked at the pancakes in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "What about you?"
"Me? I am a spiritual cultivator. If I don't eat or drink for a month, nothing will happen."
"It's so good." Li Shuang's eyes were full of envy, and she reached out to take the pancake handed to her by Li Wu and started to nibble on it.
"Li Wu, thank you."
Li Wu shook his head and walked out with the hoe.
"You...where are you going?"
Li Shuang looked at him and asked anxiously.
Li Wu pointed to the basket on his back: "I still want to continue mining."
He doesn't care about the income from mining, but he will feel uncomfortable if he is idle and doesn't do anything.
Li Shuang thought for a while and asked: "Then... then I will go with you!"
Li Wu looked at Li Shuang's thin arms and legs, and shook his head seriously: "You can't do it, you don't even have the strength."
Li Shuang's face turned red again: "Then...then I'll help you look out for you!"
"Lookout?"
"Hmm."
Li Wu scratched his head and thought that he was a miner and not a thief, so why did he need someone to look after him?
But judging from Li Shuang's reaction, she should be planning to follow her, so just follow her.
Li Wu said nothing more and walked towards the mining site with the bamboo basket on his back.
Arriving at the deep mining site, Li Wu excavated the iron ore with hoe after hoe, but not a drop of sweat fell from his body.
Li Shuang looked at him working hard to dig and asked: "Well, aren't you a spiritual cultivator? Why do you still dig with a hoe?"
"This, I'm used to it."
Li Wu has been mining with his father since he was a child, and he developed these muscles at that time, which made his body look a bit majestic later on.
Li Shuang nodded and sat aside obediently. The whole cave echoed with the sound of Li Wu's mining.
After listening to these crisp sounds for a long time, Li Shuang felt a little bored.
