Wen Yuanhong hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "As long as you don't dislike the humidity and mosquitoes in this mountain, I may not be able to take care of you when I get busy later."

Chen Ningya waved her hand, she didn't care much, she wanted to stay here because in midsummer, it was uncomfortably hot outside during the day, it was not as cool as in this mountain, there were many mosquitoes, it didn't matter, she was wearing a long skirt and long sleeves, she was not afraid to cover her body , and let Shumo get her some wormwood to hang on her body.

The breakfast in the mountains is relatively simple, a pot of mush with some wild vegetables, and a pot of stewed fish soup from small fish caught in the stream. Everyone eats the same thing. Judging by their expressions, it seems that they have long been used to it.

Chen Ningya frowned, sat next to Wen Yuanhong and muttered in a low voice: "Do you usually eat these while working?"

Wen Yuanhong nodded and scratched his head embarrassingly, "Mother, I know these things may be difficult for you to swallow, but we are in the wild, and everything is kept simple. If you really can't eat it for a while, I will ask Shumo to go out and bring you some food." come in."

Chen Ningya glared at him immediately, and said with a sneer: "Your mother, I have eaten food worse than this before, and it is still difficult to swallow! It's just that you have worked so hard and can't eat something good I just feel uncomfortable."

It was only then that Wen Yuanhong realized that he had misunderstood Chen Ningya's meaning. The soldiers who heard Chen Ningya's words were so moved that they couldn't help interjecting: "We accept the old lady's wishes, but our mission this time is secret. You can’t make it known to everyone with a big fanfare, so even when you bring food in, you have to be careful, and you don’t dare to make things that are too fragrant, for fear of attracting wild beasts and hunters.”

Only now did Chen Ningya look dazed, thinking about how to help them solve this problem in the future.

After breakfast, Lao Jitou and Wen Yuanhong continued to explore the mountains with a group of people. Chen Ningya had nothing to do, and went out for a walk under the protection of Shumo and two soldiers.

Walking to the edge of the creek, she thought of the things that went into the mountain with Wen Youshan and found taro in the mountain, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. At about two o'clock in the morning, the sun shines through the dense forest and falls on the big rocks by the stream On the way, the breeze blows slowly, making people sleepy again.

There was no one around, only a few guards, Chen Ningya seldom relaxed, and ignored the rules, she let Shumo help her sit on the boulder.

Shumo tried to persuade her a few times, but seeing that Chen Ningya was indifferent and defeated by her willfulness again, she could only watch everything around her vigilantly, but this Chen Ningya hugged her knees and buried her head on them, Slowly closing her eyes, after a few times, when she had nothing to do, she took out the jade pendant from her bosom, thinking that she could see better in the sunlight.

Facing the sun, the jade pendant seemed to become much clearer. Chen Ningya only felt that she could see the lines of her palm clearly through the jade pendant. She was stunned, as if she had discovered a new continent. She played it back and forth a few times, and then Pick up the jade pendant and put it on your eyes facing the sun.

After playing for a while, she realized that something was wrong, and the real person bounced up suddenly, like burning her butt.

Shumo was taken aback, "What's the matter, is the stone scalded? Old madam, I told you before that it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ningya had already climbed down from the rock, and hurriedly went to find Wen Yuanhong.

Shumo chased after nervously, "Old lady, wait for the little one! Old lady, slow down, don't fall! Old lady..."

It was the first time that Chen Ningya knew that Shumo was so noisy, and she finally found Wen Yuanhong amidst Shumo's ghostly screams. At this time, the group of them was on the next mountain, not far from the creek where Chen Ningya was.

Seeing Chen Ningya approaching, Wen Yuanhong approached him in a good-tempered manner even though he was sweating profusely, "Mom, are you unable to stay longer? Or..."

Chen Ningya interrupted her before she finished speaking, "Stop rambling, get down to business, old Jitou..."

Chen Ningya yelled subconsciously, but realized later that she had slipped her mouth, so she hurriedly changed her mouth and yelled: "Master Ji, come here too."

Although Wen Yuanhong was suspicious,

But no time to think deeply.

At this moment, Chen Ningya had already taken out the jade pendant from her bosom, and said to the two of them: "There is something wrong with this jade pendant!"

Wen Yuanhong and old Jitou, "?"

Seeing them like this, Chen Ningya didn't say much, and directly took them to a place where the sun and shadows were mixed, pointed the jade pendant to the sun, and adjusted the angle, only to see that the light projected by the jade pendant into the shadow merged into a picture, take a closer look It can also be seen that this is a map.

Both Lao Jitou and Wen Yuanhong gasped.

"My God! Mom, how did you find out?" Wen Yuanhong could no longer describe it in terms of shock. At this time, Chen Ningya's image in his heart was too tall to describe.

Even the old Jitou was full of admiration. He made the thing, but he didn't suspect that there was such a trick hidden in it. No, he looked carefully at the firelight at that time, but he didn't find any problems. Why? Did things get deciphered once they were in Chen Ningya's hands?

Chen Ningya looked at the two people speechlessly, "Is this the point? The point is that you should draw this map right away. Also, this place is not good, and it is not clear enough. See if there is any better local projection?"

"Yes!" Old Jitou and Wen Yuanhong said in unison.

So, in Chen Ningya's anticipation, the two asked the soldiers to cut a skylight on the roof of the wooden house, and the three of them waited silently until the sun was in the middle and the sun shone through the skylight into the wooden house before starting to work.

One person was busy adjusting the angle of the jade pendant, and the other was busy drawing. Only Chen Ningya was the most free, staring at the projection on the wall. Before the old Jitou finished drawing, she whispered: " Are the abrupt curves drawn on it the trend of the ore vein?

Although I don't know anything about the mountains here, I can still recognize the Zhangjiagou marked here and the place where our workshop is located. With these two places as signs, the entire ore vein should be centered on the south side of this mountain , one to the north, one to the southwest, and the most important one to the southeast.

I just don't know what kind of mine it is. "

Old Jitou said calmly: "No matter what kind of mine it is, we will send people to try it, and we will do it today!"

Wen Yuanhong nodded excitedly, "I think so too, no matter what it is, as long as you dig something, you can have a business with the emperor."

With the previous psychological gap, he doesn't ask much now. No matter what the mine is, as long as he finds something, he can successfully complete the task. As for whether he can help Wen Yuanliang, he doesn't worry about it. Now that Tubo has been taken down, it's just a Hun Well, the pressure to come to the court is not that great, besides, it is unrealistic for the emperor to really count on their side.
