Chapter Twenty-Eight: Supplies Arrive, Old Things of Adulthood
On the twenty-seventh day of entering the mountain, the Xincheng support team set off in the afternoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info 100 craftsmen set up tents at the middle of the mountain, and the cattle team continued to move forward, reaching the top of the mountain the next day without ruminating before taking a break. The whole horse team and the 400 logistics team settled at the supply point at the foot of the mountain at the time of Shen, and the houses were insufficient, so they rebuilt the houses on the spot, and strengthened and widened the roads and supply points!
On the twenty-eighth day of entering the mountain, the ox team continued to set off at Mao, the craftsman team ate dry food at three o'clock and started to build a supply point, and the horse team all ate dry food and set off, Zhuang Zhuang carried Aunt Cuihua, Yikang escorted and walked in front, the horse team followed closely, the logistics team of 300 people followed on foot, and 100 people continued to expand the road to both ends in situ.
Before the horse team arrived at the supply point in the middle of the mountain, Yikang ordered to rest and eat in place. After the meal, Yikang escorted Aunt Cuihua to speed forward, and the horse team carried a hundred craftsmen slowly. The 300-man logistics team walked to the mid-mountain supply point and set up camp on the spot. Yikang escorted Aunt Cuihua to the top of the mountain to rest in the wooden house, and the horse team arrived at the end of the time and put down some food at the top of the mountain supply point before entering the house to rest. At the same time, the cattle team reached the cave station, and the black bull was already running around the cave station, stomping his feet in a loose manner.
On the twenty-ninth day of entering the mountain, Yikang asked all the horses to eat on the road, and the horse team added some refined grain to the horses as feed, and Yikang escorted Aunt Cuihua to run directly on the road, but fortunately, she ran very steadily. The horse team also followed the soldiers to take care of the logistics team and unmanned horses, and at the same time, the logistics team of 300 people in the middle of the mountain set off again with 200 people, and 100 people left to expand the road and extend it up and down.
At noon, the horse team met the cattle team led by Dingtian who returned to the city, and Dingtian said to Yikang: "Brother Yikang, the giant python has been dismembered, leaving 100,000 catties of python meat, and I am carrying a large herd of cattle with 500 cows and 100 cows, you call the horse team to make way for me!" Yikang ordered: "All the horse team dismounted, found a suitable place to eat dry food and rest, watered the horses with the bamboo tube on the horse's back, and let the road go through the cattle team of the Dingtian brothers first!" ”
By the time the Ox team slowly walked by, it had already taken half an hour. Yikang gave the order to get on the horse, and then escorted Aunt Cuihua to speed forward. Aunt Shen Shi Cuihua finally arrived at the cave station safely, and the horse team was still slowly climbing over the mountain stream.
Qing Song sent his godsister to the newly built wooden house to settle down, and sent the queen bee honey to ask someone to fill the big wooden barrel with hot water. Aunt Cuihua looked at the snow-white queen bee honey and asked, "Brother, is this honey?" How is it white? Qingsong replied: "This is the queen bee honey, and it is not the ordinary queen bee honey, sister don't be afraid, this is the queen bee honey brewed by the queen bee demon herself!" Such a precious thing didn't dare to show it, so I invited my sister to come from afar! Aunt Cuihua smiled and said, "My brother is bothered, you are closer than my own brother!" It's rare that you're so dedicated just to let me live a few more years! Even the demon beasts are willing to offer such a precious thing! With my brother like this, I die without regrets! Qingsong said: "My sister can live at least a hundred years old!" I will collect all the treasures in the mountains, and I will let my sister or be more than 100 years old! ”
The two talked for a while, and Cuihua asked Qingsong to leave to deal with affairs. I took a shower and slept peacefully. After Qing Song left, he found Xiao Gang and Hei Niu to wait for the horse team at the intersection, and after a while, Zhuang Zhuang ran to Xiao Gang's side and shook his head.
Xiao Gang said: "If you have something to say, just whisper!" Brother Black Bull won't talk nonsense! The black bull laughed and was about to climb on the cow's back! Qing Song gave him two slaps, but he still helped the black bull climb up! Zhuang Zhuang said, "Teacher, everything is okay these days?" The herd didn't bother you, did it? Xiao Gang said, "It's okay! The herd is also very well-behaved! The bee demon personally sent some queen bee honey, and I will let you eat some when you are free! It's been hard for you this time and again! ”
The black bull whispered, "Hey, hey! It's really a bull demon! Talking! It's so majestic! Qing Song slapped the black bull on the thigh twice and shouted, "Shut up!" If you let others know, you won't be able to stay strong! Zhuang Zhuang said: "I am very happy to be able to do something for the teacher!" It's not hard! The black bull said, "Xiao Gang! Zhuang Zhuang calls you teacher? Are you a youkai too? ”
Qing Songmao wanted to pull the black cow down and beat him, and scolded: "You are the monster!" You're so bad before you are six years old, you tricked the big scalper with wine and sent you up the mountain! One person walked for two days with twenty buns, and he was not afraid of the night! Zhuang Zhuang is a bull demon Although he is old, he lacks life experience like a child, and Xiao Gang can teach Zhuang Zhuang to read and write, so he became a strong teacher! Tell you to read not well! If you interject again, I'll call your Uncle Zhu to lock you up in a cave!" ”
The black bull grimaced and didn't dare to speak. Seeing that he was afraid, Qing Song said: "These days, I have asked the carpenters and blacksmiths to make some plough rakes, made some arable land to prepare for the trial planting of grain, and dug a pond for the cattle to bathe!" There is no food to eat at the station! Python meat that I ate all day yesterday! I didn't know the importance of food until I had no food to eat, so I wanted to eat rice after eating python meat all day! Fortunately, the Oxen team worked day and night to deliver the food last night! It's really hard to be strong! ”
Zhuang Zhuang said embarrassedly: "If I hadn't eaten everyone's ration for a day, it wouldn't have been like this!" Xiao Gang said, "Not exactly! That water also has a lot to do with it, and after using that water to bathe and cook, everyone's food consumption has increased significantly! ”
Qingsong said: "When I was at home, I ate three or two rice at a meal, and now I have to eat close to one pound of rice!" And eat so much meat! Xiao Gang said: "There is also honey, honey is also a good nutrient, the fired things can't stand the bumps, and the carpenter made a lot of big wooden barrels to transport honey!" The bee demon has gone back to brew python blood honey himself! A large amount of nectar pollen is also needed to neutralize, so the bee colony has also gone back, and even the python blood in the soil has been refined and collected by the bee colony! Qingsong smiled and said, "It's not all!" My godsister has also arrived, and tomorrow we will take out the python's brain and eat it! ”
Zhuang Zhuang smiled and said, "Hehe! Relieve your anger! This time it's revenge! If I wasn't a teacher, when would I be able to take revenge? In two years, I'm afraid I'll have to move again! Xiao Gang said: "Good and evil are rewarded, it is damned!" Python oil is also refined! However, it is only afraid that it is bad to use it to make soap, and it has not yet been fired in large vats, and it took thousands of large wooden barrels to fill them, and it will not solidify until the temperature drops after the rain. At that time, it may be necessary to work hard for the cattle to run back and send some back, it depends on Aunt Cuihua! Her old man may have a good way to arrange python oil! ”
As he spoke, the horse team came up and rode the black ox to call for a greeting. Qingsong said to Xiao Gang: "The waterhole and grassland must not let you go to Brother Hei Niu!" He's so capable of making trouble! Xiao Gang smiled and said, "Wine must not be given to cows!" That big scalper drank a bamboo tube of stock solution and was fine! Is it still strong and strong? At least a jar to drink, we can't afford to invite so many cows to eat and drink! Qing Song also laughed happily!
When the first horse came up with my uncle, the first thing my uncle said was, "How can I see an old man and a young man smiling here?" Qingsong said angrily: "Come here quickly, aren't you afraid of killing people and destroying your mouth?" ”
The uncle went down to hug Qingsong with a grin: "Brother Qingsong, you want me to die!" Qing Song knew that he had to show his strength and hugged his uncle twice, but this time his uncle couldn't stand it. "Ouch! What are you eating? I'm more powerful than I am! He looked at it and said, "Even his beard is black!" Oh my God! What did you eat? Hurry up and get some for me to eat, I'll help you fight every day, it's not okay! ”
Qing Song scolded: "There is no positive shape! Come to my room when you're too busy, you're indispensable! "Uncle just laughed and laughed! The horses climbed up one after another, and finally all reached the garrison before the end of the day.
The logistics brigade has already set up a banquet at the station, and Qing Song has spoken a few words, appointing Jin Scissors as the chief of the special clothing department of Xincheng! Tell him that python skin should make some special clothes, and in the future, Golden Scissors will only make these special things! Golden Scissors and the lady hurriedly thanked them! Then Qingsong asked the logistics team to have a banquet, and it was almost a month since they entered the mountain, and everyone drank wine for the first time! After the meal, Qing Song ordered the logistics team not to go west, the situation in the west is unknown, and he has already encountered two demon beasts! Unlike when I first came, everyone didn't have to sleep in the cave anymore, and the station was full of wooden houses made of giant trees, which could be said to be piled up with giant trees! The struggle divides the support team into various squads, and settles everywhere! Only the black bull had to sleep in the cave with Zhuangzhuang, and Qingsong didn't bother to go back to the room by himself.
Qingsong stepped in, and his uncle shouted quietly outside. Qing Song shouted, "Come in!" The uncle sneakily entered the room, and closed the door before saying, "Brother Qingsong! Good stuff comes at a point! Qing Song smiled and took out a jar of queen bee honey from the cabinet and handed it to him and said, "This is for you, the queen bee demon personally brewed queen honey!" Don't spoil it! One or two a day, you will live at least ten more years! ”
The uncle opened the wooden lid and glued it with his index finger and sent it to his mouth to suck: "Good thing!" Unspeakably good! Sweet but not greasy, melt in the mouth, refreshing and eye-catching, just eat this finger, my eyes see things a lot clearly! Such a good thing, what about my sister? ”
Qingsong said: "If you don't have her, you can't miss her!" The uncle said, "That's it!" If you hadn't married first, Zhuzi's father might not have earned you! Qingsong waited for him to say, "Don't bring up the old things again!" My brother is because I have had a relationship with the pillar and his mother, and I can't help him when he dies of poverty and exhaustion! ”
The uncle also sighed: "Alas! My stupid brother-in-law! I also exhausted myself to death! Qingsong said: "Let's talk about business, Xiaogang wants you to come!" I'm going to pass on the double quenching method to you, and I'm going to make iron and steel here in the future! When other big things are done, you have to pick up your sister to enjoy the blessings! You don't have to go back here! All I can tell you is that this place is extraordinary! The king will send someone soon, and when the time comes, you can help them again, and you will have a half-official position!" Make it better, the king will directly give you a noble surname! The uncle almost threw away the honey jar: "This! This! Is this true? ”
Qingsong said: "Is it still fake? Just not far from the station, a gold mine was found, and the purity was very high! The uncle said, "Why?" Why don't we do it ourselves? Gold mines! How much gold is it going to take? How did you come up with the idea of giving it to the king? You need money everywhere to build a city, why do you just give it away? Qingsong said: "The things you are holding are not exchanged for 100 gold, is the wine money?" Is soap money? Is python skin money? Is paper money? Not to mention gunpowder! We will mass-produce gunpowder in the near future! Do you think the king needs this? What will you do if you don't have the money to buy these things? ”
The uncle said, "Rob! Uproot the new city! "Only then did I realize the seriousness of the consequences!" Or thoughtful as you think! Qingsong said: "It's not that I think of thoughtfulness, many things are reminded by Xiaogang!" The uncle smiled and said, "The gods are powerful when they descend to earth!" With such a god who cares about the family, it is not possible to be underdeveloped! ”
Qingsong said: "I already understand! Xiao Gang is not a god descending to earth, and a god is not as good as Xiao Gang! The uncle said, "Isn't it a god?" What is it? Qingsong said solemnly: "It's a person!" It's the reincarnation of a saint! I've already touched the threshold of a saint! Thank you Xiaogang! The ways of the saints are different, and all the laws return to the sect! First of all, learn to be a human being! Then humanity touches the way of heaven, and uses the way of heaven to restrain humanity, and humanity makes up for the way of heaven! Feel the earth, the sky, and all things in the world! To put it simply! You are a blacksmith, does the power rise from the ground when you strike iron? Haven't you thought about it? Why does the earth carry your weight? What can you give back to Earth? You use iron to strike iron, how did the iron come from? Wait until you figure it out! You have hope to see the Holy Word, but if humanity is not enough to support you to enter, it will be in vain! Ha ha! ”
The uncle said depressedly: "I'm dizzy!" Still don't understand! Qingsong said: "Everyone has a chance as Xiao Gang said, and these words can make you dizzy and prove that you have potential!" Fuck off! It's time to go to bed, don't think about it if you can't figure it out! I'm going to give you an explanation to your sister! The uncle said, "My brother-in-law has been dead for many years, and your wife has passed away for a long time!" ”
Qing Song interrupted him and said, "Get out! Or give it back to me! "Uncle ran away with the jar, but Qingsong couldn't sleep for a long time!
On the thirtieth day of entering the mountain, the head of the logistics brigade was appointed as the head of logistics. The logistics department is in charge of the front and rear teams of logistics, and has the power to dispatch transportation teams! The minister ordered the establishment of a pottery class, a carpenter class, a blacksmith class, a logging team, a road maintenance team, a gangster battalion, a stonemason class, and a material management office. First of all, the pottery squad and squad leader need to find raw materials under the leadership of Yikang, and if they find a suitable one, they will be excavated and transported by the cavalry team, and the pottery squad will start to make pottery and burn bricks. The carpenter class, blacksmith class, logging team, and road maintenance team were temporarily merged into the bridge construction team, and the minister was the part-time captain of the bridge construction team. The stonemasons followed the green pine to inspect the stones, including the stones used to burn the lime, which were mined by the stonemasons class. The material management office should make specific refinements and classified storage of the materials obtained and the materials transported these days.
In this way, the construction of the station really began! The blacksmith class immediately started to build iron cables, the carpenter class checked the mountain stream to plan the bridge structure, and the pottery class started to burn carbon part-time.
The black bull was fooled by Xiao Gang and went to the blacksmith class to see his uncle striking iron. Xiao Gang and Qing Song sat on the road with Zhuang Zhuang and the pottery squad leader with the stonemason class and Yikang and went to the waterhole. There were 200 cavalry and 200 spearmen, and Yikang took the pottery squad leader to take soil by the waterhole first, and the pottery squad leader said that it could be used, and then Yikang took him to the nearby mountains to check.
Qing Song took the stone mason class riding the bull around the waterhole to the stone mountain, and the stone mason class was deterred and said that the stone was too good to be mined, and Qing Song asked them how to burn lime? The mason class replied that even if it can be mined, it is not easy to fire! You can burn lime in the cave! So Qingsong asked the stonemason to go back to his house to mine the stones in the cave and burn the lime.
Qing Song came to the python skin with the spear team and asked the spear team to collect the python skin and scales! Xiao Gang took out a bag of things and let Zhuang Zhuang smell: "This is a sulfur stone, have you ever seen it?" Zhuang Zhuang looked at it and said, "There is a place where the Dan furnace is made!" It takes ten days to walk, and two days and two nights to run! Xiao Gang asked, "What if you let your child go with you?" Did you get there after five days? ”
Zhuang Zhuang said, "They are going to run for eight days!" Xiao Gang asked him, "Are there many beasts on the road?" Zhuang Zhuang smiled and said, "There used to be a lot!" But it's all gone! Now the most ferocious on the road should be the wild boar, has the wild boar beaten my herd? Hahaha! Not smug, Xiao Gang gently knocked him on Zhuangzhuang's head and said, "Naughty!" ”
Qingsong said: "I don't know what happened to your second grandfather who sent someone to harvest straw?" No one has ever bought such a thing as straw with money! Now it's almost the alkali used to make soap! Xiao Gang said: "I know a method of making alkali, but there is a kind of ammonia raw material I don't know what it is!" The basic raw material for alkali production is salt, which is available in the strong hometown, and we still make detonators with gunpowder first, and only with detonators can we continue to follow the footsteps of our ancestors! Qingsong said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's set off today!" ”
Xiao Gang shook his head and said, "Wait! But first of all, we must prepare some tools, so that my uncle can supervise the production of refining tools in a small amount at the station, and it is very harmful to purify sulfur without distillation tools! Qing Song beckoned the spearmen to roll two python skins and take them away, and then ran to the station while he was strong. When passing by the head of the giant python, Bai Ping and the pillar were still cutting their skin and gouging out their eyes.
Qing Song asked Zhuang Zhuang to call fifty cows to prepare to pull the skeleton and head of the giant python back to the station to deal with it. Zhuang Zhuang called fifty young and strong cows, and the people of the logistics team helped to put on the rope, and then under Zhuang Zhuang's signal, fifty cows pulled the head of the giant python together and ran up, and knocked down many giant trees on the way. Qing Song said, "This thing is not bad for opening the way!" ”
