Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 121 - 119: Is Longchang Mountain Actually a Volcano??
But she only glanced at the blueprint and didnβt know the exact direction and route. After thinking for a while, she touched the Jade Bracelet, entered the space, and called for Little Deer. π³π«ππ²π ππ―ππ¨πππΉ.π°πΌπΊ
She mounted the White Tiger once more, and under Little Deerβs guidance, headed towards the road leading to Liao Lie.
However, this road was not easy to travel, with too many bushes, so she had to put on the Battle Armor from the space for protection to gallop along the way.
Until passing through a unique terrain, she quickly had the White Tiger stop.
This place had sparse vegetation, a thin layer of snow covering the sparser forest ground, and many exposed areas showed a deep gray color.
Ruan Mian approached for a closer look and touched it, delighted to discover it was igneous rock?
She immediately looked up toward the mountainβs peak.
Does that mean Longchang Mountain is actually a volcano??
These igneous rocks are accumulated volcanic ash that has hardened over the years, hard and water-insoluble, with many uses.
In addition, near an active volcano, there are bound to be many mineral resources.
For example... a gold mine.
Her face lit up with joy, and she immediately took out a small hoe from the space to dig out a piece of igneous rock and placed it in the space.
She then proceeded forward, and after crossing this area, she unexpectedly saw one densely packed small village after another at the foot of the mountain, leading to a city.
Could this be the border town of Liao Lie, and it was just such a short distance from their valley?
The terrain that Little Deer led her through was fairly flat, apart from some impassable sections of bushes and rocks. It wouldnβt be difficult to repair a simple road on the remaining sections.
This project wouldnβt be a matter of a day or two, but she could plan ahead.
She patted the White Tigerβs head, hugging its fluffy neck, and suddenly remembered something.
She immediately called Little Deer over, took out a piece of gold from the space, placed it in front of it, and asked, "Little Deer, do you know where thereβs the most of this stuff?"
The Little Deer raised its head high, swiftly turning back to the mountain.
Seeing this, Ruan Mian immediately urged the White Tiger to follow.
The White Tiger was extremely fast, and soon it dashed through a forest and arrived at a slope beneath a mountain rock.
Little Deer stopped under the rock, moving closer to sniff the stone.
Ruan Mian approached for a closer inspection, discovering these rocks werenβt what she sought.
There was no water source nearby, suggesting that if there were a gold mine, it would be a vein gold mine buried within the mountains or underground.
She walked around the stones meticulously, until her attention was drawn by a piece of blackened rock.
Ruan Mian recalled having read that vein gold mines are often surrounded by semi-gold stones like this, known as fenzi stones.
Blackened on the outside, gold beneath, with larger pieces up to the size of a finger, and smaller ones like adzuki beans.
She uncovered and peeked, finding beneath indeed a bean-sized, mulberry-yellow stone; joy crossed Ruan Mianβs face as she leaned closer to bite it lightly, leaving a tooth mark.
It was indeed!
She touched the Jade Bracelet again, simply extracting some gunpowder from the space.
It was from the raid on the Xuanjia Army Arsenal last time, unexpectedly useful in exploring the gold mine.
With a few successive blasts, a hole was blown open in the rock, countless fragments scattering.
Upon entering and selecting among them, she found some different from the outside seen stones.
These stones contained a great deal of rock impurities, hiding the true gold to the naked eye.
They would need to be crushed, panned, and finally smelted.
After contemplating for a moment, she moved some into the space, leaving them to be meticulously mined later.
It seemed this was the site of a vein gold mine, and Ruan Mian made some simple markings. Just as she prepared to depart, she unexpectedly discovered a raw gold block behind a rock!
At such a shallow depth, the discovery of a two-pound-plus raw gold block indicated that this vein gold mine was large scale, with rich underground gold resources.
This wasnβt just a gold mine; it was a treasure trove!!
It was like stumbled-into wealth from heaven?
Except mining it would have some challenges.
But even that wasnβt a problem.
To prevent Cui Zhu and the others from worrying, Ruan Mian first returned home; these matters could be slowly deliberated later.
However, just as she reached the cellar door, she saw Zhu Qinβer standing at the entrance, and Cui Zhu rushing forward as soon as she saw her safe return.
"Miss!! Youβre really back safely?"
Just as Ruan Mian was about to speak, she saw Xie Huaiβan coming over, his face tense as he looked her over: "You went up the mountain alone?"
Knowing he too was concerned, Ruan Mian patted her shoulder and said, "Did I not come back safe and sound? I even brought some wild fruits and a skinned rabbit."
Though these were really supplies taken from the space.
Cui Zhu didnβt suspect a thing, only feeling her mistress was incredibly capable!
Catching the food with great excitement, she rushed to tell her: "By the way, Miss, Lady Zhu has come to terms with things and wants to see you today."
Saying they called Zhu Qinβer over, who knelt down in front of Ruan Mian with a thud, respectfully bowing deeply.
"Miss Ruan! Miss Shaoβs words have all sunk in. Youβre right, I shouldnβt have had thoughts of ending my life. My son Maoβer is still waiting for me to find him."
"So I am willing to stay by Miss Ruanβs side, willing to be your servant, Iβll work myself to the bone for you even!"
Ruan Mian lifted her up, saying only, "Why would I need you to work yourself to the bone for me? Just be yourself."
She gently patted Zhu Qinβerβs shoulder, her gaze encouraging, which moved Zhu Qinβer so much, tears welled up in her eyes.
Just then, Ah Ruolanβs voice came from behind.
She approached Ruan Mian, clutching her stomach with a pained expression: "I heard your father can treat patients, is that right?"
Then she took out one tael of broken silver, pressing it into Ruan Mianβs hand: "Whereβs your father? I need him to see me now. Or you could diagnose me too."
She was sweating profusely, clearly looking very unwell.
Cui Zhu huffed, shielding Ruan Mian: "Our Miss wonβt treat you! Youβre ungrateful; no one cares about your little bit of money!"
"You vile maid, do you have a say in this?! If she wonβt see me, then get her father to! If youβre running a clinic, you must treat all patients equally! Otherwise, what kind of healer are you?"
Cui Zhu was about to snap back, but Ruan Mian stopped her.
Ruan Mian smiled slightly, pointing the way: "My father is in the house ahead."
"Miss..."
"Itβs okay."
Mr. Ruan is now formally receiving patients, having self-studied for some time and able to handle basic injuries and illnesses.
To help him progress faster, Ruan Mian suggested he officially start seeing patients.
Though there werenβt many of them, living in this place inevitably meant catching colds or minor ailments.
It was a way to gain hands-on medical experience, as otherwise, it was useless to rely on theoretical knowledge.
Ah Ruolan was just heading over when Mr. Ruan happened to come looking for Ruan Mian, conveniently taking her pulse on the spot.
Unexpectedly, after taking her pulse, Mr. Ruanβs face changed drastically, his eyes intensely fixing on Ah Ruolan.
