"No wonder poor people can't afford medical treatment, it's too expensive!"

The village chief felt a pang of pain when he saw the money he had spent. How long would it take to save it up?

"Dad, just wait until Shen Hao's family arrives and then ask them to come back. Don't feel sad." Tiezhu helped the village chief slowly leave the cashier window.

"Yes, you are right. I have to inform Shen Zhiqing's family as soon as possible."

"You just stand guard at the door! I'll go back and find the phone number. I won't feel at ease if I don't inform them earlier." The village chief wanted to go back and find the phone number to make a call. Although making a phone call is more expensive than sending a telegram, there was no reply to the last telegram he sent, so he could only call the factory office where Shen Hao's parents worked to find someone.

"Dad, don't go back. Just go to the post office directly. I wrote down the phone number." Tiezhu took out a small piece of paper from his shirt pocket with a string of numbers written on it.

"You are smart this time!" The village chief laughed with satisfaction. "Come on, follow me to the post office to make a phone call."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Tiezhu didn't want to stand guard at the door of Zhang Yujie's ward. It wouldn't look good for a grown man like him to stand guard there. It would be even worse if people gossiped about him.

After that, the two went to the post office to make a phone call. Fortunately, they heard the voices of Shen Hao's parents this time. The village chief briefly mentioned that Zhang Yujie was pregnant and hung up. As for why she was in the hospital, he did not say it. It was because the phone bill was too expensive!

"Dad, did they say when they will come?" Tiezhu thought that Pan Jinlian and Zhao Wu were still in the village.

"No, but I guess it will be soon." The village chief expressed his thoughts. Zhang Yujie was pregnant with a posthumous child, and parents all wanted to leave a descendant for their son, so he guessed that they would be here soon.

"So should we go back to the village directly or to the hospital now?"

"Let's go back to the village! It's not convenient for two grown men like us to take care of others, not to mention there are nurses in the hospital. As for food, just send it over when the time comes."

"But before you go back to the village, tell Zhang Zhiqing first, lest she thinks no one is taking care of her."

The village chief thought for about a minute and then made a decision.

"Okay, then let's go there quickly and then go back quickly." Tiezhu said quickly and hurriedly, pushing the village chief towards the hospital.

"Why are you so anxious? Do you want to break my old bones?" The village chief was very confused and didn't know why his son was so anxious.

"Captain Lin and his team plan to go into the mountains after lunch. I want to go and see it, too." Tiezhu said cheerfully. He had never seen a golden mountain in his life! He could go and broaden his horizons!

"So that's how it is. Let's go quickly and come back quickly." The village chief was extremely anxious when he heard that they were going into the mountains. Not to mention Tiezhu, even he had never seen one at his age, so he also wanted to go and see!

"Well, let's go." When Tiezhu saw his father's expression, he knew that he wanted to go too, but he just didn't say it out loud!

When the two arrived at the ward, Zhang Yujie was still staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Zhang Zhiqing, we have some other things to do in the village so we will go back first. If you have any questions, please tell the nurse first. Otherwise, it will not be convenient for two grown men like us to take care of you." The village chief didn't know whether Zhang Yujie was listening or not, and told her again that they were going back.

"Then we'll go back first. If you have any questions, just ask the nurse!"

Seeing that Zhang Yujie didn't say a word and didn't even look at them, the village chief had no choice but to leave the ward first!

What they didn't know was that as soon as they left the ward, Zhang Yujie looked towards the door with malice in her eyes.

The village chief and Tiezhu hurried and finally returned to the village just as Lin Jue and the others were about to go up the mountain.

"Uncle, you guys are back so soon!"

Lin Jue was quite surprised to see the village chief and his son.

"Well, this is a big event in our village. I have to come back to take a look, otherwise I will be worried!"

"Are you planning to go now?" The village chief saw that the people brought by Lin Jue and the selected people in the village were already lined up, and was glad that he finally made it.

"Yes! We should have gone there in the morning, but we were delayed, weren't we? If we go earlier, we can complete the task assigned by our superiors earlier!" Lin Jue did not lie. He had planned to go up the mountain early in the morning, but when he saw that Gu Tingxiao had not returned to the team for a long time, he went to find him. Unexpectedly, he saw a good show!

Thinking of this, he glared at Gu Tingxiao again. It was all this kid's fault, and he had made his sister suffer.

Gu Tingxiao knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Brother, let's go! It's getting late." Lin Xi reminded him. She knew that her brother was glaring at Gu Tingxiao, so she spoke up to interrupt his gaze.

"Okay...or you'd better not go! It's dangerous in the mountains. Just tell me the specific route and I'll bring people to find it." Lin Jue was worried that if she encountered danger, he wouldn't be able to protect her, so he resorted to this desperate measure!

"It's okay, just protect me." Lin Xi said nice words with a smile.

Nonsense! How could she not go? She discovered it, so she had to go and see it anyway!

"Okay, then you just follow me closely and I will protect you." Lin Jue was unusually serious.

"Got it, big brother."

Lin Xi had no objection to this. If she didn't agree, Lin Jue probably wouldn't let her enter the mountain.

"Set off…"

Following Lin Jue's order, the soldiers he brought surrounded the villagers from the front and back, while Lin Xi was asked by Lin Jue to follow him and walk in front to lead the way!

Lin Xi walked along the way, looking for the signs he had left behind. The road was smooth and half an hour later, they arrived in front of Jinshan.

"Are you sure this is here?"

Lin Jue pointed at a small, unremarkable mountain and looked at it with suspicion.

"That's it. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to go take a look..."

Seeing that Lin refused to believe it, she didn't get angry. After all, if she hadn't found it with the machine, she wouldn't have believed that what was in front of her was a mountain of gold.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to go check it out... Never mind, I'll go myself. Don't run around. Just wait here for me."

Lin Jue was afraid that she would run around, so he gave her some instructions before leaving.

"Got it, big brother. I promise not to run around. I'll wait here."

Lin Xi felt funny and angry at the same time. He was treating her like a child!

Lin Jue walked over carrying a hoe only after he saw that she agreed.

The "clang, clang, clang" sound echoed in the mountains and forests every time Lin Jue swung the hoe, and also successfully scared the birds in the trees away.

"How is it? Did you see it?" The village chief couldn't help but walk forward and ask.

“Let me see…” Lin Jue saw that it was almost done, so he squatted down and looked at what he had dug out.

He picked up one of the pieces, and the glittering golden light almost blinded his eyes. It was gold for sure!
