I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 249: Several People's Bold Speculations

Zhufu glanced at his granddaughter with appreciation and said to Liu Gang, "Xiaoxiao's concerns are correct. This village is full of unknowns and variables right now. You should always be vigilant when you go out."

Liu Gang nodded, looking like a well-behaved boy. Liu Yingcai was very pleased to see this, so after praising Liu Gang a few times, he asked everyone to leave. Of course, he would not chase Grandma Liu and Zhufu away.

Among the younger generation, only Liu Xiaoxiao was left behind. The reason was very simple: he just wanted to ask her a few more questions in private.

Grandma Liu knew what important matter they were trying to discuss, so she sent everyone away.

Although she stayed in the house, she did not participate. She just moved a wooden stool and rested it at the door as if to enjoy the cool air, as a sentry.

Seeing that they were finally alone, Zhufu spoke directly, "You know what? From the black stone I saw today, I think it's most likely raw iron ore."

Liu Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Grandpa thinks so too."

Liu Yingcai listened to his granddaughter's words and asked in confusion, "Have you thought about this too?"

Liu Xiaoxiao nodded and explained, "It's like this. Didn't I tell you before that I saw a mark on the tree trunk?"

"Actually, that mark records iron."

"Before, because it was carved on a tree trunk, I didn't distinguish it carefully. It wasn't until today when we saw it again on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave that we were sure it represented iron."

Liu Yingcai asked in confusion, "Then why didn't I hear your second brother mention this just now?"

Liu Xiaoxiao: "Because those two words are in foreign languages, and my second brother has never seen foreign languages ​​before, it's normal that he doesn't recognize them."

Liu Yingcai: "If that's the case, then how do you know foreign languages?"

After asking, he didn't wait for Liu Xiaoxiao to answer, and continued to ask: "Did you read this in the travelogue as well?"

Liu Xiaoxiao gave him a thumbs-up, then a look of "you're really smart" appeared on her face. She said, "Yes, but the book doesn't mention the pronunciation of that word. It only records that people who saw it at the time called it the abbreviation of iron."

Zhufu: "According to what you said, this stone was picked up on the mountain. Could it be that this mountain behind is actually an iron mine with countless treasures?"

Liu Xiaoxiao nodded wildly: "It's very likely."

Liu Yingcai frowned and said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then the person who discovered it certainly wasn't from the government. Their purpose in poisoning the village must be to wait until the villagers can no longer tolerate it, then force them to move away. Then, they can proceed with their mining operations unnoticed."

Zhufu agreed and said, "That should be the case. They just didn't expect that the people here are so resilient. They haven't left even after half a year."

Liu Xiaoxiao: "Not only have the original residents stayed, but a new group has moved in. I think they're likely to make some big moves soon."

Liu Yingcai: "Then should we leave?"

Zhufu was a little undecided for a moment.

Liu Xiaoxiao: "I still want to wait and see. If my space still hasn't been upgraded tonight, or if it's upgraded but there's still no solution, then I think it's best for us to leave."

Zhufu said: "Okay, I'll listen to you this time."

At this point, the meeting is basically over.

Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea and communicated with the space using her mind.

Do you think the space upgrade is complete?

Is it possible that something unexpected will happen?
