Chapter 210: On Coal Discoloration

The people are talking about coal color change!

The people know that coal can be used for heating, but no one dares to use it!

There is a general perception throughout the continent that coal is poison!

In the past, too many people couldn't stand the cold and used coal for heating, dizziness, nausea, drooling, and they couldn't walk well, these were still light, and many people were poisoned into fools or simply died.

There have been too many accidents in the past, and after the false rumors, the world has been taught to stay away from the poison of coal since childhood, and there is a pungent smell when the coal burns, which makes people believe that coal is a highly toxic thing, which can suck people's brains and turn people into fools and mentally retarded. Therefore, even if the people of Dashang are freezing to death, they will not take the initiative to use coal for heating. They are afraid that they will become fools, and they may even be fools in the next life when they are killed.

Of course, coal is not useless.

The effect of steelmaking and ironmaking wood is naturally not as good as coal, and these forced industries still use coal. However, ordinary people will not do the work of burning coal even if they are killed, and everyone is afraid that this black devil will eat away at their bodies, suck their brains, and turn them into fools and paralyzed.

The people who were in charge of digging coal and making steel and iron, and the people who were close to the coal furnaces were always prisoners brought out of prison, and there were no normal people.

In short, the entire continent has coalized the coal demon!

The virtuous and miraculous Master of Joy suddenly proposed that coal was not a poison and that the people could use it to keep warm. It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open! Don't you want the name of the master?

The people were discussing whether Master Joy was stupid in reciting scriptures, and many believers went to Xishan to form a group to visit Master Joy who had been kicked by a donkey in his head.

Seeing that the discussion about coal outside is getting stronger and stronger, and even has a trend of surpassing the New Year, Du Xiaoxi took a deep breath and carried his son up the mountain.

The matter of coal in the Xirakuji Temple is also in full swing, which is comparable to the burning incense on the first day of the new year.

Du Xiaoxi climbed all the way up the mountain, and what he faced was the honest and honest face of Senior Brother Huaihua.

Du Xiaoxi saluted respectfully and asked, "Senior Brother Huaihua, where is Master?" ”

The host of Huaihua showed a sincere and compassionate smile and said to Du Xiaoxi: "Master said that if the junior sister comes to look for it, let the junior sister go back to the house first, and someone will take the junior sister to the master's residence tomorrow." By the way, Master said that the junior sister should remember to prepare the luggage for the long stay. ”

Ha?

Du Xiaoxi looked confused, what the hell is this?

Without waiting for Du Xiaoxi to ask a few more questions, the host of Huaihua had already dragged Shi Shiran away with a wide monk's robe.

"What do you mean?" Du Xiaoxi lowered his head and muttered to his son in his arms.

Xiaoxing thought that his mother was teasing him, mother, mother screamed, Du Xiaoxi leaned over and kissed his son's white and tender face, smiled and coaxed: "Ahhhh Shall we go to see Shigong tomorrow? ”

When he returned home, Du Xiaoxi asked Fangcao to pack his luggage, and before he could pack up his father-in-law, Second Master Liu walked around the gate of the yard and asked people to call Du Xiaoxi over.

"Dad, but what's the matter?"

As a father-in-law, Liu Erye never entered his son's yard, even if he had something to find Du Xiaoxi, he mostly took advantage of Liu Yao's time, and it was the first time that Liu Yao didn't come back to let her come over.

There was a big wool carpet on the floor of the living room, and Du Xiaoxi knew that his father-in-law was playing with his son when he saw this posture, so he immediately obediently put the little star on the blanket, and knelt next to him to greet him.

Second Master Liu was very happy to see that Du Xiaoxi was all focused on his grandson, but his brows furrowed again when he thought of the news he had just received.

"I just heard that you are going to the master tomorrow, so let the child go to me if it's freezing this day! I'll show you exactly two days. ”

Without waiting for Du Xiaoxi to refuse, Liu Erye immediately said: "I heard that the master has been engaged in coal recently, I believe that the master has advanced Buddhism, but this time the master is really wrong, coal is a kind of poison." If you don't believe anything else, look at the eldest son of the Wang family's steamed bun shop you frequent, that is, his father was greedy and reluctant to use firewood to pick up coal to burn, but his son was poisoned and stupid!

This coal is really poisonous, if the master really stays with the coal tomorrow, you will advise your master to stay away, and you should not go to the front and come back quickly. Also, you can't bring anything you can't bring with you, the coal thing is too dangerous! ”

Saying that, Liu Erye bent down to pick up the little star who was crawling around, and said to Du Xiaoxi: "You go back first!" We'll stay for a while. ”

Du Xiaoxi wanted to roar: What do you know?

What is poisonous?

That's just the sequelae of head damage caused by carbon monoxide poisoning!

All right! Carbon monoxide is indeed poison gas.

The father-in-law drove people away so clearly, Du Xiaoxi looked at the little star pitifully, raised his hand and shook it at the little star, "Say goodbye to my mother!" ”

Seeing Du Xiaoxi beckoning, Xiaoxing laughed and beckoned again and again, jumping out of his mouth word by word, "Again!" Again! ”

Little has no conscience, Du Xiaoxi snorted in his heart and returned to his yard with his father-in-law's satisfied smile.

"Mother?" Xiaoxing thought that Du Xiaoxi was playing a game of peek-a-boo with him, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see his mother come back, turned his head to look at his grandfather who was holding him with all kinds of praises, and called out to his mother in confusion.

Second Master Liu put his grandson on his lap and stood up, pinched his grandson's little fat waist, and said to his grandson with his grandfather's love: "Your mother has something to do, and she has slept with her grandfather these days." Come, good grandson, shout grandpa! Father! Father! ”

Liu Erye shouted grandpa to his grandson several times, and the little star looked left and right looking for his mother, his lips were getting higher and higher, and finally he cried out without seeing his mother come out.

"Grandpa, ah, no, what's wrong with this?"

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

"Good baby don't cry, look at this is a little bear, cute!"

"Obediently, is it peeing, grandpa will come and see."

"Are you hungry, Qingfeng go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of custard!"

Liu Erye sat on the ground paralyzed, hugging his face and crying, the little star whose tears fell like money. There were all kinds of toys scattered around him, and a crumpled diaper was thrown next to it. Little Star's white and tender ass is exposed, and the obviously careless grandfather forgets to stuff the diaper back.

Waiting for the little star to finally stop crying, Second Master Liu couldn't help but sigh, why are you so difficult to raise! I remember your dad was a good boy when he was a kid. is so lively and active, it must be like your unconscious mother.

Du Xiaoxi, who was not worried, was going around the house again and again, I don't know if the little guy is crying now, whether he is looking for his mother.

That's it! That's it! It's time to train my son to wean!

In the evening, Liu Yao came back and heard that his son was in his father's yard and didn't say anything, waiting for Du Xiaoxi to say that he was going to live with the master for a few days, and he was going to lie on the bed and prepare to take advantage of his son's absence to treat someone of his own and blow it up directly!

"Where are you going?"

Du Xiaoxi tugged at the corner of Liu Yao's clothes and said pitifully: "Just go to the master to have a look." ”

Liu Yao dragged his clothes back directly without giving face, and looked at Du Xiaoxi very firmly: "No!" Coal is poisonous! You definitely can't go! ”

"Oh, okay, listen to Brother Xiaotu."

Du Xiaoxi surrendered very spinelessly.

Then in order to prevent Du Xiaoxi from talking and not talking, the two of them rolled and rolled in the middle of the night before falling asleep.

On the second day, after receiving Du Xiaoxi's repeated assurances, Liu Yao went to the yamen in good spirits.

When Du Xiaoxi was slowly cleaning up, Madder ran to say that a little monk came to Xile Temple to look for him. Du Xiaoxi went out with his baggage.

As for what was promised last night?

After one night, who remembers?

The little monk was only eleven or twelve years old, and he was sitting in the car reciting the scriptures. Du Xiaoxi, a pseudo-monk, was not easy to disturb, so the group arrived at the destination directly and without a word.

The carriage walked for more than two hours before stopping, and Du Xiaoxi's lunch was eaten in the car.

When he got out of the car, he looked at the white open field, and asked strangely, "Where is this?" ”

The little monk stopped chanting at the moment, and dutifully replied: "This is an open-pit coal mine, and it has all been bought by the master. Master is right ahead. ”

Open-pit coal mines? It was white and snowy, and I couldn't see anything.

Still, buy it! His master has become a mine boss!

Du Xiaoxi and Madder followed the little monk for a short distance, and finally stood in front of several dilapidated huts.

The door of one of the rooms suddenly opened, and Master Xile, who was wearing a knee-length padded jacket, appeared directly and said to Du Xiaoxi in surprise: "Good boy! You're here! ”

Du Xiaoxi was directly caught by the master into the house.

Sitting around the red-hot coals, one of the windows of the hut was open, and the whining cold wind blew in directly to take away a bit of warmth.

Master Xile held the big tea bowl and said to Du Xiaoxi: "Apprentice, don't you know that the people here actually think that coal is poisonous, and so many people would rather freeze to death than burn coal every year. Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and you can't say anything and watch the people die in vain! Apprentice! Let's join forces to prove that coal is not poisonous! ”

Du Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "It is rumored that the master already knows the correct way to use coal, doesn't he already know it?" ”

Master Xile looked helpless, "Of course not, it's just that the people are spreading falsehoods, and the teacher is still waiting for the local apprentices to come and help!" ”

"Help what?"

"How to prove that coal is not poisonous."

"How do you prove it?"

"I don't know for the teacher, so I'm waiting for the apprentice to come!"

Du Xiaoxi knotted, don't you know what you're jumping on? Now everyone in the whole Northland knows about it!

Master Xile looked at his apprentice pitifully, "The apprentice must help the master, the master just wanted to find a place to study and study, but he was seen and publicized." Now the people of Dashang know that if we can't do something, we will definitely smash the signboard! ”

Du Xiaoxi looked at the red coal in the iron basin, and said helplessly: "Master, if you burn coal, carbon monoxide will definitely be produced, which is a poisoning gas." In the old house, there was a pipe attached to the stove to exhaust the gas as much as possible. ”

The pipe Du Xiaoxi said was a very common chimney pipe in the countryside, Du Xiaoxi didn't know if the master had seen it, so he picked up a small piece of coal on the ground and sketched it on the ground.

Master Xile said that the small temple in the mountain is full of firewood, and he has never seen this kind of pipe. However, since it is used in a large number of rural areas, it can prove its value.

Du Xiaoxi poured cold water on his head, "However, the safety of this kind of chimney stove cannot be guaranteed, and I used to hear about people dying of gas poisoning every year at home." If something happens to them with this kind of stove, the master will be the last to complain. ”

"Then there is no other way?"

Du Xiaoxi shook his head, it seems that this is the case at present.

Master Xile sighed, "Actually, Master knows that it is good to ventilate when the coal is burning, but in this winter, everyone is eager to block the crack of the door, how can it be possible to open a window to keep the air circulating, and save some heat and run away." ”

"Then Master, what are you doing with good research on coal? The people all use it as poison, and no one will use it without absolute safety. ”

Master Xile squinted at Du Xiaoxi, and said with envy and jealousy: "Do you think that everyone is the same as your family, and they buy thousands of catties of charcoal a year without blinking their eyes." There were few trees in the north, even if there were trees for the winter, they didn't dare to cut them down, there was not enough firewood, and the cotton poles in the bud valley, and even the reed poles in the pond were all taken away. In this way, there are still many people who can only supply firewood for cooking, and it is not enough to burn kang for heating.

Master just thought that throwing so much coal would be a waste, and it would be better to find a way to use it for heating. ”

Hearing the reason, Du Xiaoxi also sighed.

Too many people freeze to death in the Northland every year, especially newborn children, who don't even get to see spring because of the cold.

Coal! Coal!

If it can really be used by the people, how many people can be saved every year.

Du Xiaoci looked straight at the red coal in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "I thought of it!" Master, I thought of it! ”

Master Joy asked anxiously, "What comes to mind?" ”

"We can make coal into briquettes, honeycomb coal!" Seeing that the master was puzzled, Du Xiaoxi then explained: "When honeycomb coal is made, water and soil should be added, so that when it is burned, the gas produced will be significantly less. Under normal circumstances, briquettes cooking in the house will not poison people. If it is made into briquettes, it will definitely meet Master's requirements! ”

In his last life, Du Xiaoxi used briquettes for cooking at home when he was a child, but later they were all turned into gas tanks, induction cookers, and rice cookers, and briquettes have been slowly eliminated. Accustomed to using electrified things, Du Xiaoxi didn't even remember the briquettes he used to use when he was a child.

Seeing that the master was thoughtful, Du Xiaoxi continued: "When the time comes, we will have a ventilation tube in the yard, and we will use briquettes, so the possibility of poisoning will definitely be very low." Ay! No, metal pipes are too expensive, and the vast majority of people must not be able to afford them.

We can modify the stove a little bit more and make the vents facing outward, so that the metal pipes are not needed and can still be ventilated. ”

After Du Xiaoxi finished speaking, she looked at the master proudly, she was really the best.
