Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1930: Chapter 1928: The Underground River

Qin Yize stopped his actions, then stepped into the stream and walked to Gu Qiaoqiao’s side. He saw Gu Qiaoqiao slightly close her eyes and carefully observed that Qiaoqiao seemed quite calm, unlike before when beads of sweat would seep from her nose and forehead. Now, she looked fresh and composed, just like usual.

He felt relieved, but as he lowered his head, he realized that most of the gold nuggets in the stream were gone.

Really, it’s as quick as light.

Gu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, surveyed the area, and noticed a bit more left. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes again, and used her mind power to transfer all the retrievable gold nuggets into the space.

By now, the gold nuggets on the surface of the stream had been picked clean, leaving only ordinary stones.

Upon checking the space, Gu Qiaoqiao finally understood what a Golden Mountain meant.

However, thinking about the buckets left outside the barrier by those people, her heart felt heavy.

At this time, Qin Yize asked Gu Qiaoqiao to take him into the space. He placed what he had carried in a corner, then took out two potato-like objects and placed them in his pocket, followed by a black iron bar. Without looking at the Golden Mountain, he said solemnly, "Let’s go out now."

Once outside, Gu Qiaoqiao realized the black iron bar was actually foldable, resembling a tool like a shovel. She watched as Qin Yize stood in the stream, swiftly digging up gold nuggets that showed a hint of gold shimmer beneath the stream bed.

The two collaborated well, one digging at the front, the other collecting at the back, resembling Northern farmers during autumn harvest gathering potatoes.

Though farmers gather potatoes, these two were collecting gold nuggets instead.

Soon, the gold nuggets half-buried under the stream were collected into the space, and the Golden Mountain was doubled.

Shimmering with golden light, it had an unreal feeling about it.

Normally, Gu Qiaoqiao would be thrilled to climb the Golden Mountain for the fun of it, but today, she didn’t feel like it at all.

After a brief tidy-up, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly exited the space and saw Qin Yize still digging in the middle of the stream with the tool from earlier.

Qin Yize didn’t let her approach; instead, he asked Gu Qiaoqiao to sit and rest on a nearby large stone.

"What are you digging for?"

"There’s an underground river here, and I want to bring its water up."

"Do you want to turn this place into a lake?"

"No, I want to make the gold vein sink into the underground river."

Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow; it was a good idea. She had already checked earlier—this was indeed a gold mine, but it wasn’t large, surrounded by steep cliffs.

This was a geographically unique and special gold mine.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao also knew some gold mines are quite peculiar.

She had heard from the Old Patriarch that these gold mines were much like centuries-old ginseng, relying on fate.

Old gold miners knew that if you lacked fate with a gold vein, even if you dug out the entire mountain, you wouldn’t find a single grain of gold.

But what they didn’t know was that just ten centimeters to the side, the gold vein would have been theirs.

This wasn’t folklore; it was true.

The Old Patriarch’s grandfather had experienced it personally.

After those gold miners left, he and a friend just dug one slot and unearthed a gold nugget.

This was many years ago.

Though the Gu Family, under the protection of Gu Junbai back then, held a steady position in the land of Huaxia, during wartime everything went awry.

During the turmoil, they were forcibly driven from their home, and later, it was with this extremely rich gold mine that the Gu Family was revitalized.

Although Yubao Square had been around for years, it didn’t exist in Gu Junbai’s era.

However, it was heavily related to the Gu Family member who carried the amulet crafted by Gu Junbai.

Sometimes, opportunity and luck complement each other and are indispensable.

Nowadays, those people discovered the gold mine due to advanced exploration equipment. Even if they truly broke the barrier and formation using the normal method, under Heavenly Dao Rules, even if Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize took away the top layer of gold nuggets, there’s still plenty below to last them a lifetime.

However, they absolutely shouldn’t have used such cruel, bloody methods; thus, the gold mine must be destroyed, not leaving a grain of sand for them.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t need to be involved in this; she sat on the stone, contemplating how she should carefully consider that if formations and barriers could be layered, their power would be immense.

But no matter how great the power, when meeting such greedy, inhumane people, it would undoubtedly become a tool for murdering wronged innocents.

The malevolence of human hearts; Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t organize her complex emotions at the moment.

Nonetheless, she didn’t plan on letting those executioners off the hook.

Quickly, with the Water Repellent Talisman, Qin Yize had dug out a pit taller than a person.

That means over two meters deep.

Curiously, the stream beside Gu Qiaoqiao remained at the same depth as before, confirming there was indeed an underground river since the surface water remained consistent in height.

At that moment, with a sudden move, Qin Yize jumped out of the pit.

Dry and fresh, he seemed calm.

He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao sitting nearby, "Qiaoqiao, move back a bit more."

Obediently, Gu Qiaoqiao retreated ten steps until almost at the cave entrance.

She watched Qin Yize standing by the pit, taking out those two objects again.

Knowing Qiaoqiao had already set up a barrier here, sounds wouldn’t reach outside.

As Sika Deer stood beside Gu Qiaoqiao, it looked puzzled at Qin Yize standing in the water.

In Qin Yize’s hand were two mini explosive devices.

His friend here was quite capable and seemed to have everything, somehow obtaining newly developed weapons and giving Qin Yize two to play with.

This was just a few days ago; Gu Qiaoqiao had not yet developed the portable space. Qin Yize dismantled the small explosive device to study it, memorized its key points, and then placed them casually aside, unexpectedly having use for them today.

He opened a lid on top, pulled out a mechanism inside. His speed was swift, and his fingers quicker, almost in a blink, both were opened and thrown into the pit, while he quickly retreated to Gu Qiaoqiao’s side.
