The next day, Shen Yanqing's sister and brother were unusual, and they came in the morning.

"Yang Bo, do you get up three times a day?" Shen Yanqing came early in the morning, sat in Ma Daochang's original room and waited for Yang Bo to get up, wash up, and have breakfast. I couldn't wait patiently, complained when we met, and warned: "In a few days, I have something to do to go to Haizhou, and the stone temple will not come, you have to take care of Yiming." ”

Yang Bo wanted to get three shots a day, but the conditions didn't allow it, "My mistake, I'll change it, change it slowly." Yang Bo said with a bitter face.

Yang Bo's new bookkeeping method was also finished, and Yang Bo also wanted to teach Shen Yanqing Arabic numerals, but Shen Yanqing claimed that those numbers were crooked and like earthworms, and refused to learn them.

Historical records record that Arabic numerals were introduced into China before the 14th century, but the real popularization was as late as the 19th century, and there was an artifact in China - the abacus, which was an ancient computer, and it was very convenient to count and calculate accounts, and there was no demand for Arabic numerals.

The accounting method of later generations is very simple, the key lies in the application of the form, obviously it is more convenient to fill in Arabic numerals in the form than to write in Chinese, but Shen Yanqing is unwilling to learn, Yang Bo has to give up.

Seeing Shen Yanqing away, it was still early in the morning, and Yang Bo came to the factory behind.

He called the shed behind the stone temple a factory, and was a little apprehensive at first. In the Ming generation, when people mention the word factory, it is easy to think of the East Factory and the West Factory, it is said that the leaders are all eunuchs, and those who are caught in it have to shed their skin if they do not die, and they will be a hell on earth.

However, Leshui did not express any difficulty in understanding, but felt that it was pleasant to say, and followed suit.

Yang Bo and Leshui, sometimes with Shen Yiming, secretly developed solid alcohol in the factory, and now the coagulant calcium acetate crystals have been made, and solid alcohol is about to come out.

Calcium acetate has a very high solubility in water, and it is called organic calcium in later generations, made into calcium tablets, suitable for all ages, everyone loves to eat, and it is a great supplement.

On the contrary, the iron pot on Ganxin's side has not yet landed, Yang Bo asked to make the bottom of the pot deeper, the caliber is smaller, there is no ready-made iron pot, and the mold needs to be reopened.

Zhou Zheng and Ding Jiu in the alcohol room did not leave, Zhou is the Orion of Xishan, and he is also dressed as a Orion when he works in the Stone Temple, and Yang Bo wants to borrow a set of Orion's clothes.

"Senior brother, what do you want Orion's clothes for?" Le Shui asked puzzled.

Yang Bo took the shirt handed over by Zhou Zheng and responded: "If I am free today, I will go to Xishan." ”

When Zhou Zheng heard that Yang Bo wanted to go up the mountain, he exclaimed: "Sone wants to go up the mountain?" There are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards on the mountain, there are traps everywhere, and there are many thieves and bandits. ”

Yang Bo smiled when he heard this: "Master Zhou, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Yang Bo was referring to the revolver he was carrying in his arms, and since that day he learned that Ganxin's blacksmith shop had begun to use quicklime for slag removal under the guidance of Ma Daochang, Yang Bo understood that the performance of Ganxin's iron castings was much better than that of iron castings of the same period.

The revolver was made of that kind of cast iron, and Yang Bo's confidence in the revolver increased a lot. Yang Bo even thinks that the kind of cast iron can make qualified equipment to produce matches.

His trip to the West Mountain was not a whim.

He also has to bring a phosphate rock test agent, which only needs a small bamboo stick to dip a little and point it to the ore profile that has been broken by the file to see if it turns green, and then judge whether it is phosphate rock. According to Ma Daochang's secret, the accuracy rate is 80%, although it is not very high, but in a place that is determined to be the origin of phosphate rock, it should be enough.

Yang Bo needs to investigate the distribution of phosphate rock in Xishan to prepare for finding a suitable place to use as a quarry in the future.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng said something terrible, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and Ma Daochang said goodbye, which made Le Shui sad, he didn't want Yang Bo to have any more accidents.

Yang Bo found the test agent of phosphate rock in the laboratory, and went back to the room to change into Zhou Zheng's Orion shirt, with a gown and pants, and a belt around his waist, which was much more flexible than a robe.

Yang Bo opened the turntable cartridge of the pistol, carefully pressed the paper bullets one by one, checked the safety, and then inserted the pistol into the waistband of his trousers and covered it with the placket of his jacket, so that people could not see the clues. It's ready to go.

opened the door and almost didn't hit Leshui, Leshui grabbed the corner of Yang Bo's clothes and begged bitterly: "Senior brother, don't go, don't go, I'm really afraid..."

Yang Bo knocked Leshui's little head angrily, and said angrily: "What are you making a fuss?" He lowered his voice and said, "Yiming is a few years older than you, but he is... It's not a normal child, it needs to be taken care of, and there are black spots, so you need someone to feed it, don't talk nonsense. ”

Leshui snorted dissatisfiedly, twisted his face to the side, his cheeks bulging, gritted his teeth, and didn't say a word.

When Yang Bo stepped on the hillside, he inadvertently glanced back, but saw Leshui rushing all the way, and immediately waved him back, but Leshui didn't care about it, chased after him, brandished a short dagger in his hand, and panted and said: "Master gave me a self-defense, senior brother take it..."

Yang Bo took the short dagger angrily, glared and said, "Why are you so disobedient..."

The ridge is in an arc, but it is mainly in a north-south direction, I don't know whether it is due to geological changes or sea breezes, the sunny side of the West Mountain is more steep, the surface is dominated by stones, and the vegetation is mostly low shrubs, which makes the West Mountain a natural barrier for Shenjiabao.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking west, there are also undulating hills under the mountain, but it is much shorter, the trees are overgrown, lush, and sure enough, over the top of the mountain, it is a different world.

In the valley, the elm tree is the most luxuriant, and it is said that the highest place of the elm tree has the most fertile stones, and I don't know if there is any scientific basis.

Yang Bo found a stone house in a valley, between the elm trees and larch, but Yang Bo did not plan to go, but just regarded it as a landmark, but on the return trip, it was a reference, so as not to get lost.

Yang Bo saw a small hillside overgrown with elm trees and decided to go there, and when he got down the ridge, Yang Bo was surprised to find that he was in a pine forest, and the original hillside was no longer visible.

Yang Bo noticed the pine forest at the top of the mountain, and he only needed to find a gentle slope and climb up the hillside to find his bearings. Unexpectedly, after turning around several times, it seems that he has returned to the original point, Yang Bo's heart is bad, and he may have lost his way.

There were a few sharp birdsongs in the distance, Yang Bo couldn't help but perk up, listening carefully to the movements around him, except for the sound of the branches and leaves swinging, there was no other movement, a gust of wind blew, Yang Bo seemed to notice something abnormal, but he couldn't say what it was.

Yang Bo looked nervous, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the revolver on his waist, and carefully observed every step he took, for fear of stepping into the trap set by the hunter in advance.

Taniguchi is close at hand, but unfortunately Yang Bo can't see it.

Southwest along the mouth of the valley, a father and son hunter were lying in the grass behind a boulder, with their carefully set trap on the left and a bend in a stream on the right.

The two were nervously observing the movement on the opposite hillside.

In the past two days, there have been black bears in the mountains, and several old hunters have been injured, and a young hunter named Shi Wazi was unfortunately bitten to death by a black bear, and the corpse capital could not be pulled back.

The timid mountain people no longer dare to go into the mountains to hunt, but there are also bold ones, He Laojin is one of them, he is a well-known old hunter, his son He Qifeng was born tall and big, and He Laojin inherited, but also surprisingly bold.

Other hunters hunt in the mountains, all in groups, but their father and son are skilled and bold, and they have always acted alone, and every time they enter the mountains, they have a lot of gains.

Rao is like this, the father and son of the He family can't stand the layers of exploitation, the current harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, too many to count, most of the hunting caught back must be handed over, plus the father and son are only good at hunting, not farming, life can only be said to be barely passable.

"Dad, is that it? Or I'll go out and yell at it and beckon it over. He Qifeng was anxious and asked his father He Laojin in a low voice.

He Laojin hurriedly taught his son He Qifeng and said: "Wait a minute, you just stay behind the stone, don't go anywhere, I'll go to greet him, do you hear?" ”

He Laojin saw that a tree was shaking violently, and the sound of the leaves scraping could be heard clearly, it must be the black bear, which was tickling, and after a while, through the gap between the trees, a black shadow was already faintly seen.

The black bear is a large spiritual animal, sometimes very cunning, it is best to let it find out that there is someone here, unless it is absolutely necessary, He Laojin does not want to take the initiative to stimulate it.

Probably because of the direction of the wind, and also because the place where He Laojin put the trap was too tricky, the black bear didn't find that there was anyone here, and after tickling it, it seemed to go slowly into the dense forest.

That was where Yang Bo was trapped.

Wang Laojin immediately flashed out, bypassed the trap, and shouted loudly: "Ah... Whew..."

The black bear in the pine forest heard the human voice, turned around decisively, and walked out of the dense forest, He Laojin pretended that the black bear did not exist, and casually returned to stand behind the boulder, and did not hide, calmly looked at the black bear, waiting for the black bear's further action.

"Roar..."The black bear grew its neck, roared and rushed over, until it was ten steps away in front of the boulder, but stopped, panting heavily, and kept shaking its head, looking around, but refusing to take a step forward.

He Qifeng hid under the boulder, and when he saw that the black bear refused to come over for a long time, he couldn't bear it, so he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, but He Laojin couldn't stop it.

The black bear may be thinking, why is this going to be two to one, is this not a bullying bear?

For whatever reason, the black bear was enraged, raised its huge head violently, and with a pounce, it rushed up.

The trap is well-designed, and if nothing else, as soon as the black bear attacks, it will inevitably pass through the trap. If you step on it, you will fall into a trap and be slaughtered, which is He Laojin's cleverness.
