I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 248 Blessings Suspected to be Iron Ore

At the entrance of the village, as soon as everyone came down the mountain, the idle children in the village spread the news everywhere: "We are back."

"They're back."

"They're back."

Soon, a large number of villagers gathered on the dam at the entrance of the village, including the village chief with a crutch!

"Xiao Qiang! You explored the back mountain again with Xiao Liu and the others today, and you gained something!" Wang Feng asked.

The person called Xiaoqiang by Wang Feng happened to be Grandma Zhang’s youngest son, whose full name was Wang Xiaoqiang.

Because when villagers address acquaintances, they generally prefer to use the last two characters of their full names, and for those with only one character, they prefer to add an "A" in front of that character. For example: Alan, Ruyu, etc.

Seeing that the village chief had called his name, Wang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to step forward and answer, "Village chief, we did follow the clues and found a cave that seems to be where the enemy stayed."

Wang Feng didn't expect that the other party had actually stayed overnight in the mountain behind them.

"Stayed overnight?" Wang Feng's face changed. His intuition told him that the matter might be more serious than he thought.

He looked at Xiaoqiang and said in a deep voice, "Did you find any clues in there?"

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and replied seriously, "Apart from the hay people used as a resting place, the rest of the cave is basically just food remnants. For example, a small amount of seafood shells."

Wang Feng: "So, if you put it that way, then these people have been there for a long time, right?"

Wang Xiaoqiang: "It's possible, but they probably haven't stayed there recently because we didn't find any fresh fires in the cave."

Wang Feng: "Then it seems that the whole village falling into a coma two days ago was most likely a last-minute act by them."

Hunter Liu had already taken off his small satchel and handed it over, saying, "Also, the black stone in here was also found in the cave.

Since we haven't figured out what this stone is yet, we brought it back for everyone to see. Perhaps this is why they come here so often."

Hearing this, everyone passed the not-so-big black stone around. Some picked it up and examined it carefully, while others gently rubbed its surface with their hands.

"This stone looks quite ordinary! I don't think there's anything special about it!" Someone expressed his opinion.

At this time, Zhufu spoke up: "In my opinion, this stone looks like some kind of mineral, but what kind of mineral it is, we need to find someone who knows the subject to look at it to know."

Wang Feng nodded and said, "In that case, we will immediately send someone to take the stone to the town for an expert to identify it.

At the same time, we must strengthen patrols in our village. It's fortunate that you didn't encounter them in the mountains today, but if they're still around our village, then our actions today are likely known to them. So, we have to be even more cautious in our future outings."

The villagers replied listlessly, "Okay."

Wang Feng saw this and knew that the villagers were tired of being tossed around, so he asked everyone to disperse.

As soon as they returned to their place, Liu Xiaoxiao and Liu Gang were surrounded by their family members.

Liu Yingcai: "Tell me quickly, is there the same mark you mentioned yesterday in the cave they discovered today?"

Liu Xiaoxiao nodded, but she didn't have time to answer!

Liu Gang interrupted, "More than one thing is the same! We were the first to discover the cave!"

Liu Yingcai: "Then the black stone they brought back, was it also picked up by you two?"

Liu Gang shook his head. "That's not the case. I wanted to go in, but my sister said the cave was too dark and we were afraid of danger if we went in alone."
