Chapter 354: Return To Shen Gu Village

Xu Xiang’s eyes lit up, and she picked up the iron ore. She then used the detector to check the composition of the iron ore. While looking at the data on the detector screen, she thought: ’The ore in this world is indeed different from mine.’

Putting the iron ore back in the container, she calculated the amount of iron needed. After a while, she walked out of the iron mine and set up several iron mines around that area. Since this world is rich in resources, she doesn’t need to restrain herself, and she can set up more mines to save time.

As she mined iron ore, entered her own space to process the iron ore into usable steel bars, prepared seeds for Gu Xieqin, and worked inside her space, time passed in the blink of an eye.

Half a month had passed before she collected enough steel bars. Standing in the warehouse, she looked at the steel bars filled up the whole floor with a smile in the corner of her lips.

’This should be enough for now.’

Satisfied with the result, Xu Xiang left her space and went to collect the mining machines. After walking out from the last iron mine, she puts on her wind boots, power gauntlet, and night vision glasses. After finishing her preparations, she flew back to the entrance of the secret passage in the village of the Jia tribe.

Since she walked through this secret passage for the fifth time, Xu Xiang was quite familiar with the road. When she came out of the secret passage and closed the entrance with the large stone boulder, it was only nine o’clock in the morning. Xu Xiang didn’t waste any more time and flew back to Shen Gu Village.

Seeing more and more people walking on the road, she found a secluded place and landed. She put away all the equipment and walked towards Shen Gu Village. Along the way, Xu Xiang not only saw villagers and merchants coming towards Shen Gu Village, but also a few horse carriages passing by her from time to time.

After Xu Xiang finished observing the crowd, she turned and saw three young men walking in front of her. Judging from their faces, they should be about the same age as Huan Yun.

While she was secretly watching the three of them, one of the men suddenly asked, "Brother, is Shen Gu Village still far away?"

Hearing his question, the person walking on his right said, "It’s not far. If we walk another twenty minutes, we should be able to see the village."

The man who asked the question just now wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and asked again: "Brother, are you sure this news is credible?"

Another person walking on his left said, "We can’t be sure, but a lot of people have gone to Shen Gu Village. Most of them didn’t come back, but they sent food, water and money to their families. Didn’t you say you saw Uncle Fu’s family eating something called roasted sweet potatoes yesterday?"

The man walking in the middle nodded and said, "Mhm. After smelling the fragrance, I almost couldn’t fall asleep last night."

Seeing him licking his chapped lips, the man walking on his right side said, "Let’s hurry up. I heard that if we can complete the registration before noon, we can have lunch for free today."

The man in the middle was surprised when he heard what he said, and asked, "Really?!"

The man on the right nodded and said, "Yes. At first, I didn’t believe it either. But after I visited Shen Gu Village last week, I found out that those who joined the army did get three meals a day. They even pay the soldiers monthly salaries and we can choose food, water or money as our salaries. I also heard that they have a market inside the village. There, we can buy anything with money or barter with other things."

The eyes of the man walking in the middle lit up, and he said, "Is there really such a good place? No wonder you insisted on us coming today. Brother, thank you for remembering us!"

The man walking on the left also nodded and said, "Thanks to you, my family has a hope to survive this winter."

After he finished speaking, the man walking on the right sighed and said, "Since the severe drought, there have only been seven years of long and hot summer. It would be a miracle if there is winter this year."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence. After a while, the man in the middle said, "By the way, do you think that the rumor that this Shen Gu Village is protected by the Dragon God is true?"

The man on the left thought for a while and said, "This is just a rumor and we can’t believe it until we see it with our own eyes."

"But I also heard that the officials are very anxious now because Shen Gu Village refused to pay taxes. Do you think the reason why they recruited a large number of soldiers is to fight against the government?" The man walking in the middle asked again in a low voice.

As soon as his voice fell, the person walking on his right side said, "Shh! Do you want to go to prison?"

The man walking in the middle quickly covered his mouth with his hands and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered: "But brothers, if they really want to rebel, will we join Shen Gu Village? Won’t we implicate our family?"

The man walking on the left sneered and said, "I will join them. Why should I worry about dying in the future if none of my family can survive today? Besides, do you think those greedy ministers will let this village go after learning that Shen Gu Village can produce food and clean water?"
