Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1635: Chapter 1629: Discussing the Outcome

“Let’s talk about your results today and analyze them.” After they finished eating, Qin Xue sat there looking at them, inviting everyone to share their opinions.

“We didn’t find anything unusual on our side.” Ai Zeming was the first to speak about his day’s findings.

“Neither did we.” Dong Liang followed up.

…

“I did find something a bit unusual on my side, though I’m not sure if it counts.” Qiu Zhiqiang was the last to speak up.

“What’s unusual?” Before Qin Xue could speak, Chu Molin asked.

“I found coal in the mountain over there.” Qiu Zhiqiang understood this because his hometown was a coal-producing area, so he was surprised by his discovery.

“Where?” Qin Xue paused for a moment and asked, wondering if it was what she thought.

“On the North Mountain. The coal is exposed, the soil is quite shallow, you can see it with just a little digging by hand.” When they split up, Qiu Zhiqiang headed north, while others went northeast and northwest. They scattered because villagers frequently visited this area; otherwise, they wouldn’t spread out due to fear of wolves.

“Qing Teng, do you know where your water source comes from?” Qin Xue asked Qing Teng, who was behind her.

“From the North Mountain.” Qing Teng knew this because she played there when she was young and got scolded by her mother for it, so the memory was vivid.

“Then I think I know the reason, Qing Teng. Tomorrow, have the elders come over, just a few, and make sure no one else accompanies them, got it?” Qin Xue felt she knew the cause and wanted to solve it the next day, so they could return home.

“Alright.” Qing Teng nodded, thinking it was good as long as they could find the reason.

“By the way, can you wait another day? The day after tomorrow, we’ll leave together.” After instructing Qing Teng, Qin Xue turned to Chu Molin.

“Sure, but what about Gong Wuyou and Tong Xia?” Chu Molin considered their situation. He was recovering, but the two of them weren’t ready yet.

“If you’re not afraid of the effort, you can make a stretcher to carry them, or let them recover here before going back. It’s up to your choice.” Initially, Qin Xue thought if they couldn’t find the reason, they might stay a few more days here.

But now, knowing the reason, they could return, so there was no need to stay longer.

“I’ll go back with you.” Gong Wuyou responded to Qin Xue without hesitation.

“Alright, then you’ll have to work hard. Since he wants to return with you, I guess the other one wouldn’t want to stay behind, so you can gather materials for the stretcher tomorrow.” Qin Xue could predict Gong Wuyou’s decision since he mentioned yesterday that he wanted to return with them, especially when even they were leaving now. It was clear he would follow.

“No problem.” Liang Shaohui nodded in agreement.

“Okay, tomorrow you don’t have to follow us. Just make your stretcher and pack your things here.” Qin Xue didn’t want Zhongzhai’s other affairs exposed to everyone because it was a special place.

Many people couldn’t accept such strange occurrences and didn’t want to have much contact, fearing they might unknowingly be cursed.

“Alright, we understand. You all be careful.” Liang Shaohui responded, taking the lead.

“Xue’er, tomorrow I want to go with you.” Chu Molin knew about the matters here and wanted to see the cause and how Qin Xue would solve it. He could only feel at ease after witnessing it himself.
