Upon seeing Xiao Yunjie and Song Xiaozhu, Old Chen immediately knelt down. "Madam Xiao, Miss Song, please, please save my wife and An'an!"

He knew this was a very difficult matter, and fearing that Xiao Yunjie and Song Xiaozhu would ignore it, he kowtowed repeatedly until his head bled.

Song Xiaozhu quickly helped him up. "Uncle Chen, don't worry, I have a way to bring Aunt Lü and Sister An'an over."

Old Chen looked up at her, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Miss Song, is it really... really..."

Song Xiaozhu's voice was clear and pleasant, and very infectious. She said, "You'll have to make the trip again. I have a bow and arrow here. Take it to District Chief Hu, and after she's seen it, tell her..."

Old Chen's eyes widened, his voice trembling. "This... this really can work?"

Song Xiaozhu: "Don't worry, it will definitely work."

Old Chen looked at the ordinary-looking bow and arrow, unable to understand how such a thing could have saved his wife and daughter's lives.

Since Song Xiaozhu was so certain, Xiao Yunjie nodded slightly, and Old Chen then looked at his son-in-law, Liu Huli.

Liu Huli had a keen eye and recognized that this was the kind of bow and arrow Qiu Shuyu always carried. He quickly said, "Father, don't worry, we'll listen to Miss Song, it'll definitely work!"

With his words, Old Chen felt somewhat relieved. He was about to kneel down and kowtow again when Song Xiaozhu quickly stopped him. "Go quickly, lest something unexpected happens."

Old Chen nodded repeatedly, gripping his bow and arrow tightly as if it were a lifeline. He choked back tears as he said, "Miss Song, wait for me to bring my wife and An'an. Our whole family... will be your servants from now on..."

Song Xiaozhu didn't have those classist ideas. She interrupted, "The shop will soon be even more short-staffed. Once we get here, we can all work together, and the whole family can be reunited."

Old Chen dared not dream of such a good life; he could only nod with snot and tears streaming down his face, and leave Liu Family Village under the guidance of his son-in-law.

-

Old Madam Hu was holding the bow and arrows that Old Chen had brought back.

Cui Jiao had sharp eyes and recognized it at a glance. "District Chief, this is the... the arrow that immobilized me!"

Yes, he remembered it clearly. Compared to the Splash Stone Arrow that made him writhe in pain, this arrowhead was even more terrifying.

The moment he was shot, it was as if he had been injected with an anesthetic, which instantly spread throughout his body, rendering him completely immobile.

Song Xiaozhu and Qiu Shuyu didn't intend to kill him at the time, but if they had wanted to, he... would have been powerless to resist!

White mist emanated from Old Madam Hu's palm as she used her Force to envelop the arrowhead, studying it carefully for a long time.

Cui Jiao stared intently, longing to possess such a bow and arrow.

With a snap, Old Madam Hu placed her hand on the bow and arrow, looking at Old Chen who had knelt down with a thud. "What did she say?"

Old Chen's voice trembled, but he earnestly and carefully repeated what Song Xiaozhu had told him, "... If the district chief wants to order these arrows long-term, please send Old Chen's family to Liu Family Village first."

With a snap, a sharp splinter emerged from the floor and got stuck right between Old Chen's knees.

Old Chen screamed, nearly losing control of his bladder in fright.

He wasn't injured, but he knew that Old Madam Hu could kill him at any moment.

However, the next moment, Old Madam Hu suppressed her murderous aura, and a simple smile returned to her eyes, "San'er, go to Liu Family Village again and send Old Chen's family there."

Chen San swallowed hard and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

-

Song Xiaozhu wasn't worried about Old Chen's side. She would indeed keep her promise to Hu Yuan. As long as she delivered Old Chen's entire family intact, she could sell special arrows.

As for how much it will cost...

It also depends on her output.

After all, she can't synthesize too many arrows that cost one Quantum Coin each.

In recent days, Song Xiaozhu, Qiu Shuyu, and Xiao Tong have also studied the special arrowheads many times.

Its effect is quite good. For ordinary people, it will paralyze them as long as it hits them, but for Awakened... like Xiao Tong, there is a way to break through it using the Force.

Of course, at the foot of this Garbage Mountain, it is absolutely invincible.

Old Madam Hu is definitely tempted.

Especially given Old Madam Hu's rule-making style based on force, powerful weapons were extremely important to her.

She had to find a way to get her hands on it.

Xiao Yunjie led Song Xiaozhu to the area below the Earth Temple, along a winding path...

They saw the iron ore, which looked like a high wall.

Even though Song Xiaozhu was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback by the grand gesture before her.

It's obvious that this is not natural iron ore. Even though Song Xiaozhu, a modern person, has never been to a mining area, she can tell with a little thought that ore is distributed diffusely, not directly in the form of a wall.

By this time, Liu Xuangang and Qiu Shuyu had already dug down several pieces of iron ore.

The last time the barrier broke was indeed a coincidence; this time they dug up many pieces, and there was nothing unusual outside.

Song Xiaozhu examined the iron ore on the ground. Qiu Shuyu picked up a piece and handed it to her, but Song Xiaozhu shook her head and said, "No rush, let me take a look first."

She looked up at the massive iron ore "wall" and had a Xiaoxiao, unrealistic dream.

If... she places the Workbench under the ore wall, will she keep crafting [Iron Raw Material], just like that time when she couldn't move the iron plate, so she dug a hole underneath it and ended up getting [Iron Raw Material]?

Just give it a try; even if it doesn't work out, it's not a loss!

Song Xiaozhu turned to Qiu Shuyu and Liu Xuangang and said, "Can we dig a hole on this side?"

Liu Xuangang: "?"

Xiao Yunjie was also visibly taken aback.

Qiu Shuyu clearly remembered something. Without saying a word, she swung her pickaxe and began digging under the "iron ore wall" according to her memory.

Although Liu Xuangang didn't understand why, seeing Qiu Shuyu's actions, he rolled up his sleeves and started digging as well.

The goal is to extract the iron ore eventually; digging a hole is just a side effect.
