Chapter 248 Digging a Tunnel to the Barren Mountain

Yang Mingxi looked at the scene before her, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. Now that she had come here, how could she bear to watch them suffer so much?

She turned to look at the stunned Lu Jintang, then waved to Lu Da and said firmly, "Lu Da, please call the person in charge of cooking over here. We can't just eat these fish like this. We have to take them with us to process them."

After saying this, Yang Mingxi turned around without hesitation and walked towards the lush mountain behind him with heavy steps.

She knew very well that if she wanted to make delicious dishes to help everyone relieve their hunger, she also needed to find some essential seasonings.

Lu Jintang saw Yang Mingxi heading toward the back mountain and instantly understood her intention. He smiled faintly, then said to Commander Lu, "Commander Lu, I think we should send a few more people to the back mountain to hunt some game. After all, fish alone won't be enough to fill our stomachs!"

After hearing this, Lu Dashan first looked up at the people who were training hard, and then replied with some embarrassment, "Master, the people who went up the mountain today will probably be back soon. They all have important tasks to carry out. If we pull them out to hunt now, I'm afraid their training progress will be affected."

Yang Mingxi, who had just walked a short distance, stopped her light steps after hearing what Lu Dashan said. She slowly turned her head and her eyes fell directly on Lu Jintang.

At this moment, Lu Jintang initially thought there was nothing wrong with what Lu Dashan said. After all, as a soldier, how could one survive on the battlefield without rigorous and thorough training? But when he noticed Yang Mingxi staring at him intently, he instantly understood—Yang Mingxi must be hoping he would say something different.

Lu Jintang quickly put away his relaxed expression and said seriously, "Whether it's training or mission execution, are there any special combat plans at the moment? If it's just routine training, then making sure everyone has enough food is the top priority! In my opinion, just do as I said just now. Make sure everyone can enjoy the meat tonight and eat their fill. As for the other specific matters, you can handle them as you see fit!"

The soldiers standing nearby, undergoing training, were overwhelmed with excitement upon hearing their young master's generous promise, and they all cheered at the top of their lungs. The passionate shouts rose and fell, resounding through the sky, as if to shake the entire camp to pieces.

Lu Dashan watched the bustling scene with a smile on his face, thinking to himself, "Since they arrived here, they had never seen such a vibrant and passionate scene."

After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but laugh, and then shouted to the crowd, "Brothers from Squads 10 and 11, listen up! Hurry up and go hunting in the mountains! The time limit is half an hour, no delay!"

Lu Jintang smiled and said to Yang Mingxi, "Axi, wait for me, I'll go with you." After that, he ran towards Yang Mingxi.

Lu Dashan looked at the scene in front of him and became more determined in his heart that the real head of the Lu family in the future would be the little girl disguised as a man in front of him, not their youngest master.

Having figured out the key, Lu Dashan did not dare to delay. He hurried back to the cave and began to arrange matters for tonight.

Meanwhile, Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang were slowly ascending the mountain path. As they walked side by side, Yang Mingxi felt a strange sense of familiarity grow stronger. She listened carefully to the sounds around her, faintly hearing the distant roars of animals and the gurgling of water.

Since Yang Mingxi's sensory perception had been enhanced, her ability to perceive the external environment had become more acute, allowing her to perceive things at greater distances than before. Based on this, she secretly thought that this place might not be far from Changshan Village, but strangely, she was certain that she had never set foot in this area before.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Mingxi turned to Lu Jintang beside him and said, "Lu Jintang, why don't you take me to the top of the mountain to have a look? I don't know why, but I always feel like this is close to Qianhuang Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jintang nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Actually, I have the same feeling. This place feels quite familiar to me, but I am also sure that I have never been here." Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his arm and gently picked up Yang Mingxi by the waist. Then, with a flash of his body, he used his lightness skills and rushed towards the top of the mountain like a bird.

Soon, the two of them reached the top of the mountain and stood on a large tree. Yang Mingxi looked around and suddenly burst into laughter. "Lu Jintang, look over there, that big lawn. We used to hunt wild boars and roe deer there every day. I used to think this was a natural breeding ground."

After hearing what Yang Mingxi said, Lu Jintang also smiled and said, "I also discovered that this mountaintop and Qianhuang Mountain are separated only by the dam you mentioned. Qianhuang Mountain is on the north side of the dam, and this place is on the west side of the dam. The four brothers' training ground is on the east side. It's really not far away!"

The two looked back and forth again, and Yang Mingxi said, "Are you tired? If not, go back and see how far it is!"

Lu Jintang took a look and said, "I estimate the straight-line distance is only about ten miles. I'll take you to see it."

Yang Mingxi nodded, and then said: "It's a little lower. I want to conduct an on-site inspection. It would be even better if I could walk all the way there. I have an idea. We can build a road directly from Qianhuang Mountain to here. It should be more convenient to travel by water from here."

Lu Jintang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he smiled and said, "Then there's no need to go. Let's go back first! Call Lu Dashan tomorrow and we'll hike up together. It's just that this mountain is a bit difficult to climb!"

"What's so difficult? Haven't you seen the place where Lu Dashan and the others live? In my opinion, if there is really no better way, then we might as well dig a hole in the center of this mountain and go straight through. I just carefully checked the hole that Lu Dashan and the others dug before, and it doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined!" Yang Mingxi said confidently.

Hearing this, Lu Jintang's eyes lit up instantly, and his excitement was beyond words: "Oh my! If this tunnel can be successfully dug through, then it will only be ten miles from here to the top of Qianhuang Mountain. That would be so much more convenient!"

Yang Mingxi smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and continued, "Okay, now that we have a preliminary plan, let's hurry back! When we get back there, we'll have a hearty dinner with them tonight. Then, we'll rest here tonight, and tomorrow morning, we'll go out and see if we can successfully reach Qianhuang Mountain by digging a tunnel."

With that, the two exchanged a smile. Filled with anticipation and longing, they walked briskly toward the cave where Lu Dashan and the others were. Along the way, a gentle breeze caressed their faces, as if cheering them on for the new journey they were about to embark on. The sunlight cast two long shadows on them, creating a beautiful and moving painting from afar.
