Zheng Qianzhi looked at Lin Congyun's frown and realized that he had overestimated the matter.

He tried to ask again, "Then... where is the old lady's pet now? Can I take another look at it?"

"It! It's now..." Lin Congyun made up an excuse, "I have released it back to the forest. After all, it has its own place."

"Is that so?" Zheng Qianzhi felt a little regretful.

"Then... Madam, if there is a chance in the future, I would like to come to you for advice on raising pets."

"Ok?"

This person hasn't given up yet!

Lin Congyun just said a few perfunctory words to him and sent him away on the grounds that they had to hurry on their journey.

On the next day, the group finally arrived in Wanping County.

Lin Congyun originally wanted to go directly to Zhao Tianqian's hometown, but after asking around, he found out that the distance was a bit far and it was getting late, so it would be safer to go there tomorrow.

So he decided to find an inn in Wanping County to stay first.

The group walked into the city. The streets were lined with shops and were bustling with people.

Unexpectedly, I met Zheng Qianzhi as soon as I entered an inn.

Zheng Qianzhi also saw them and walked towards them excitedly, "Old Madam! You are here!"

Lin Congyun looked at Zheng Qianzhi's enthusiastic appearance and muttered to himself, why does this guy seem to be haunted?

However, fortunately, he was Fang Deyu's benefactor, so Lin Congyun could only force a smile on his face, "Mr. Zheng, why are you here?"

Zheng Qianzhi replied, "Madam, I came to Wanping County to do some work. I didn't expect to meet you again by chance."

Lin Congyun secretly complained in his heart, are you sure it's fate? You haven't been following us all the time!

Zheng Qianzhi's face was filled with a joyful smile. He walked forward, as if he had met an old friend after a long absence, and said enthusiastically: "Old Madam, since we are destined to meet again, why don't I host you all and invite you to a nearby restaurant for a gathering?"

As he spoke, he pointed behind him to the elegantly decorated restaurant not far away. The sunlight fell on the glazed tiles of the restaurant, reflecting a dazzling light.

Lin Congyun looked at Zheng Qianzhi's eager eyes. Although he felt a little helpless, he couldn't refuse directly.

She thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng is so kind that I shouldn't refuse. But we are all women and children, so we can't trouble Mr. Zheng too much. How about this, if Mr. Zheng would do me the honor, I will let Butler Wu treat Mr. Zheng to a simple meal as a representative, so as to thank him."

After hearing this, Zheng Qianzhi felt a little disappointed, but he didn't want to force it. After all, it was really inconvenient for the other party, so he nodded and agreed.

Lin Congyun asked Butler Wu to take Zheng Qianzhi to a nearby restaurant for dinner, while he took Fang Deyu and the others back to the inn.

After Wu Jinjie came back, Lin Congyun told him that she had to go out to do something the next day and asked him to take good care of Fang Deyu and the others.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Congyun set out alone.

A few days ago, when Lin Congyun brought the chickens and ducks given by the villagers into the space, he gave them to Ergou and Sanniu and asked them to raise them well.

Then, he found Zhao Tianqian and asked him to draw a simple map from Wanping County to his hometown, and also asked him to describe in detail how to reach the route where the iron stone cave was hidden.

I had originally planned to set off at dawn today, but I met Zheng Qianzhi again yesterday and didn’t want him to follow me, so I set off earlier.

When Lin Congyun arrived at the gate of Wanping County, he rented an ox cart and headed for Zhao Tianqian's hometown.

Two hours later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The driver said that the ox cart could only go this far and could not go any further.

Lin Congyun asked him to wait at the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain road alone. After walking for almost an hour, he finally arrived in front of the sealed cave.

Fortunately, there was Zhao Tianqian's description, otherwise, this place would be really hard to find.

According to Zhao Tianqian, the entrance to the cave has been sealed for more than ten years and is covered with vegetation on the outside.

If you want to go in, you need to clean these things up, which is a major project.

But this did not pose a problem for Lin Congyun. He flashed into the space and called Ergou and Sanniu, asking them to find ten people who would obey his orders.

Soon, Ergou and his companion gathered everyone in front of Lin Congyun.

Lin Congyun looked at the twelve people and thought that they should be enough, so he said, "You will follow me to clean up a cave. If you do a good job, I will give you extra meals in the next two days!"

"Additional meal?" Ergou and Sanniu's eyes lit up and they immediately shouted excitedly, "Okay."

The others also responded happily.

Lin Congyun took out the black cloth that she had prepared long ago and asked them to blindfold themselves. She then told them that everyone should hold each other's clothes and follow her. If they dared to disobey her orders, the black hole on the other side of the rockery would be waiting for them.

Among these people, some were officials who had been imprisoned in the rockery, and some were bandits who had never been there.

However, they had all heard about the horrors inside the rockery, so everyone obediently blindfolded themselves, pulled the people around them and followed Lin Congyun.

When they arrived in front of the cave, Lin Congyun asked them to open their eyes. They were shocked by the sight before them.

It felt like we hadn’t walked far before we reached the halfway point of a mountain.

Lin Congyun was standing aside and saw the confusion on their faces, but she didn't have the time to explain it.

"You guys should clear the vegetation outside the cave first, and then see how to open the cave entrance?"

After hearing this, everyone stopped being confused and immediately started to clear the vegetation outside the cave.

When they came over, Lin Congyun asked them to bring farm tools, and with so many people, the vegetation outside the cave was cleared quickly.

Lin Congyun looked at the sealed hole and asked, "Look, how do we open this hole?"

Everyone looked at the cave entrance blocked by stones, with difficulty expressed on their faces.

"How do I open this?"

"This rock is so big, how can we move it?"

"This……"

Lin Congyun looked at them, shook his head, and cursed in his heart: What a bunch of good-for-nothings, they don't even know how to use their brains.

Then, pointing at the axes and hoes in their hands, he shouted angrily: "Use the tools in your hands to pry the stones open."

After hearing what Lin Congyun said, these people finally reacted and started prying the stones with the tools in their hands.

Lin Congyun walked aside and watched them slowly move the stones.
