Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1931: Chapter 1929: Private Territory

Qin Yize held Qiaoqiao’s hand, and the two of them quietly watched the still calm waterhole.

A few dozen seconds later, a column of water shot skyward out of the blue, and the splashed water seemed like a massive tidal wave, only to be blocked by Gu Qiaoqiao’s Barrier.

The water column rose with a thunderous noise.

Subsequently, they saw the surrounding area, where the gold mine was located, suddenly sink down as though in a movie special effect.

The sky wasn’t falling, but the ground in front of them was indeed sinking.

Even Gu Qiaoqiao was seeing such a scene for the first time, and she couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed, not blinking once.

Then they saw that after the water churned up towering waves, it was as if something underground was pulling it all back down suddenly.

This small gold mine, it seemed that all the money was sinking underground.

The setup was somewhat like the Treasure Room in Gu Garden.

This was an underground river, and no matter how capable people are, they wouldn’t be able to dig the gold nugget out from the earth’s core because currently, humans don’t have that capability, and there are countless dark rivers underground; no one knows where they lead, and it is currently beyond technological control, so there are no more gold mines here anymore.

It has become a pit over ten meters deep.

The bottom of the pit was slightly turbid water, which was slowly gushing upward, and the two of them stood by for a while longer before the pit’s water stopped at about halfway full.

The two simultaneously let out a long breath.

There was no movement outside for the time being.

Those few people were lucky to make it back, and if they were to send more people again, it would probably be tomorrow, because Qin Yize told Gu Qiaoqiao that the nearest mine was about twenty miles away from here.

There were no paved roads, only a mountain path, so cars couldn’t get in and people had to walk.

The two decided to temporarily set up camp here, after all, they still needed to eat, and people needed to rest for a bit.

Although they were in the wild, with their Portable Space, the two of them were feeling much more comfortable and at ease.

Currently, inside the space, besides that small Golden Mountain, there was a small pile of items and some peculiar wildflowers and weeds.

The space was large, but the two didn’t dare to venture inside to rest because the tents they brought were of high quality, though the blankets were a bit thin since the thicker ones wouldn’t fit in the backpack.

This kind of environment seemed rudimentary to Qin Yize.

He thought he should try to avoid such situations in the future; after all, there was no need for this kind of rough camping life.

Otherwise, what’s the point of making so much money?

Isn’t it just for his wife and children to live a better life?

But now, the wealth seemed to have become superfluous to them, which wasn’t right.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what Qin Yize was thinking. She was outside cooking noodles; there were a few paper bags containing dehydrated vegetables, but they couldn’t compare to fresh vegetables.

Gu Qiaoqiao walked around and picked a handful of wild vegetables she recognized.

The Sika Deer found it because it loved to eat, and even if the Sika Deer didn’t like eating it, Gu Qiaoqiao would know if it was poisonous the moment she touched it.

After all, the Spiritual Energy in her hands was the purest in the world, and would immediately react if it encountered something toxic.

The noodles were boiled with the seasoning packets and added with the wild vegetables she had cleaned.

It should be noted that the water in the waterhole, after becoming turbid, gradually cleared up and turned incredibly sweet, clearly spring water without the need for testing.

So the noodles were cooked with this kind of water, and they added three hot dog sausages. After eating and drinking to their satisfaction, Qin Yize went to the waterhole, filled the clean army pots with the spring water, covered them, and had Gu Qiaoqiao put them in the space. Then Gu Qiaoqiao, having a sudden thought, filled all the containers they had with the spring water.

Although this wasn’t Spiritual Spring, the water was indeed very clean.

And this water wasn’t coming from the same place as the previous water.

This way, they wouldn’t have to worry about water for the next couple of days.

Having done all this, they left the place with the Sika Deer.

When they reached the entrance of the valley, Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and decided to remove the Barrier and Formation here.

This way, even if someone unaware of the situation approaches in the future, they could enter smoothly. Although the gold was gone, there was no need for someone to resort to such malicious means to destroy the Formation and Barrier.

The two lightened their load and set off again, with Qin Yize always finding excuses to carry his little wife on his back, even though he knew her combat power was formidable. Yet, he enjoyed the feeling.

Their next target was the mine that held human life in such disregard.

They traveled swiftly, arriving at a large mountain before it got dark.

Both they and the Sika Deer were invisible, so while others couldn’t see them, this place seemed like a small village, complete with houses and roads, and opposite was a mountain cave with a somewhat dark red color, its entrance man-made. There were two railway tracks, indicating this was quite a large-scale mine.

There was a road leading to the outside world from here, but it wasn’t just some ordinary people; there were weapon-bearing guards patrolling as well.

They were tall, fierce-looking men, clearly capable fighters.

There were many such men, roughly estimated at around a hundred.

Qin Yize frowned slightly, looking deeply at the entrance of the mine, his mental map expanding bit by bit. He whispered to Gu Qiaoqiao beside him, "If I’m not mistaken, this mine produces white tungsten ore."

"What, white tungsten ore?"

"Mm, tungsten extracted from it can be used for steelmaking..."

Oh, no wonder there were so many guards here.

"This must be private land, right?"

"Definitely, outsiders can’t enter. Didn’t you see the barbed wire fence not far away? There’s an electric grid above it, and there are several large power generation devices here. It seems to be quite the operation."

This wasn’t quite what Gu Qiaoqiao initially thought.

The miners inside likely numbered over a thousand. How could just the two of them investigate this?

However, at this very moment, Gu Qiaoqiao had a hunch that Su Ye’s parents were in this mountain, mining.

The miners would surely be living unimaginably tough lives with so many people watching over them.

In the mine owner’s eyes, they might be treated like slaves.

As she thought about this, a small train with two carriages suddenly roared out from inside.

Then a dozen guards orderly stepped forward, displaying great strength as they opened the car doors and dragged out a few people like dead dogs.

As Gu Qiaoqiao made to move, Qin Yize pressed her down, "Don’t rush, let’s observe first."
