Chapter 22: Up the Mountain Again

Early the next morning, the two were ready to go to the mountain again, Mo Qingliu brought his crossbow and the knife he got from Jing Junzhi before, and the two met at the door of the thatched house and walked up the mountain together.

"Oh, your knife." Mo Qingliu took out the knife and threw it to Jing Junzhi.

"Miss Mo can't use it, how did you think of returning it to me." Jing Jun laughed.

"What I got from you before is already mine, it's not returned, it's given to you as a return gift for bows and arrows, and you have to have some weapons to go up the mountain, I don't want to bring a burden." What Mo Qingliu said is reasonable.

"Thank you so much, Miss Mo." Jing Junzhi got used to Mo Qingliu's routine of making excuses, and couldn't hold back a smile.

"You're welcome."

The two of them kept walking towards the back mountain, and the further they went, the more overgrown the weeds and the trees became more and more dense. This mountain is called Shiyue Mountain, and Shiyueso is located on this mountain, hence the name. In addition to trees, grass, etc., there are also a lot of stones on this mountain, all kinds of things, Mo Qingliu and the villagers have inquired before, from the description, there should be rich ores, which is a good material for making fireworks.

That's right, what Mo Qingliu wants to do is fireworks, so she has to go to the mountains to find some stones she needs to grind back into powder. The reason why Shiyue Mountain is called Shiyue Mountain is that in addition to the many types of stones, the other is because the whole mountain is very high, and the whole mountain is bathed in moonlight at a later time, so it is named.

The two of them watched as they walked, and Jing Jun stopped watching Mo Qingliu knock on those stones and sometimes went over to smell them, and he became curious when he saw it.

"Miss Mo, where is this?" Jing Junzhi asked.

"I'm going to find some stones, and by the way, bamboo, I asked the people in the village before that there are them on the mountain." Mo Qingliu replied.

"I know this bamboo, stone? I don't know what kind of stone Miss Mo is looking for. Jing Jun asked.

"Uh...... One of them smells pungent and choking, and the others are not easy to describe, so I'll pay attention to them myself. Mo Qingliu replied to him.

"Then I'll keep an eye out for bamboo and the choking ...... Stone it. Jing Junzhi actually still doesn't quite understand, how can any stone still choke people.

The morning passed, and the two men found the bamboo, cut some and carried it in small pieces. But none of the stones Mo Qingliu asked for were found, but the road was a lot.

Jing Junzhi and Mo Qingliu decided to find a place to sit down and rest for a while to recover their strength, but fortunately, the two of them were ready to bring some dry food and water so that they would not be hungry.

"Looks like we're going to have to go further down the mountain." Mo Qingliu drank some water and said.

"It may be dangerous further inside, Miss Mo, do you remember the place where we encountered wolves before?"

"Do you remember?" Mo Qingliu actually couldn't remember where they were at the time, it was late, and she didn't know where she was when she came here suddenly, but she remembered that when she went back, she kept walking in the direction of the light under the mountain.

"Well, it's up ahead."

"Yes, I didn't expect you to know the way so well."

"It's just the necessary ability to survive, by the way, why did Miss Mo come to this mountain that day, and it was so late?"

"Ah, oh, I...... Daddy went out hunting and never came home, so I wanted to come out and have a look, but I didn't expect to walk so far to meet you and the wolf. "This question really stumped Mo Qingliu, how did I know that I would be in this ghost place at that time, and I didn't know why the owner of this body was the owner, so I had to make up a reason.

"Oh, well, that girl will have to pay attention in the future." Jing Junzhi obviously saw that Mo Qingliu was lying, but he didn't expose her lies.

"Got it, let's just keep looking, I don't know what I'm going to encounter when it's dark." Mo Qingliu packed up his baggage and prepared to continue walking.

"yes, okay." Jing Junzhi also got up and followed Mo Qingliu to the mountain together.

"Huh? What a taste, look inside! Mo Qingliu suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

"Hot springs! There's really everything in this mountain. Mo Qingliu knew at a glance that there was something she wanted here.

"I really didn't expect that there would be hot springs in this mountain." Jing Junzhi also came over to take a look.

"That's it." Mo Qingliu knocked down a stone from the edge of the hot spring.

"The stone does smell a little choking." Jing Junzhi said.

"Well, Brimstone, it's ninety percent successful with this." The stone Mo Qingliu is looking for is sulfur, which is necessary for making fried eggs.

"Miss Mo can use this to make a special light?" Jing Jun asked.

"This is the same as what is necessary to make fireworks, of course it is not enough to have this, and you also need an ore to make the fire burn with it and emit a white light." Mo Qingliu explained.

"Fireworks?" Jing Junzhi heard it for the first time.

"Well, what we're going to do is called fireworks. Okay, just knock this one down and take it away, one piece can be used for a long time. ”

"Miss Mo, it really opens my eyes every time."

"That's because you've seen too little, so let's go."

After the two of them found the sulfur, they continued to walk up the mountain, Mo Qingliu was still quite bottomless at first, because he didn't know if he could find what he wanted in the mountain, but now he was more than half successful, and he felt a little bottom in his heart. The next step is to look for ores containing metals, and I don't know if I can find them.

Further up the mountain, the terrain became more and more precipitous, and the cliffs became more and more precipitous, and the movement slowly became more and more difficult.

"Miss Mo, be careful, this road is getting harder and harder." Jing Jun stopped reminding Mo Qingliu.

"Hmm...... Got it, pay attention to yourself. Mo Qingliu replied.

When Shi Yueshan let the two of them climb almost four-fifths of the way, Mo Qingliu finally found the metal-containing ore he needed, but unfortunately the location of the ore was not very good, next to a ravine. But what kind of person is Mo Qingliu, will she give up because of this matter, of course not, so she felt that she would dig it.

Jing Junzhi was very reluctant, at first Jing Junzhi stopped Mo Qingliu, because it was too dangerous, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he might fall.

The two argued for a long time because of this matter, but in the end, Jing Junzhi still couldn't resist Mo Qingliu. Mo Qingliu said that compared to Jing Junzhi, she was smaller and lighter, and if there was anything, Jing Junzhi could catch her at any time, and in turn, she might not be able to catch Jing Junzhi.

So in the end, Jing Junzhi had no choice but to let Mo Qingliu go down by himself, and they didn't prepare a rope when they came. Just in case, Jing Junzhi took off the outermost piece of clothing, tore it into strips of cloth, and put it together to make a simple rope and tied it to Mo Qingliu, and pulled the other end in his hand, and let Mo Qingliu go over after repeatedly instructing her.

Although Mo Qingliu felt that Jing Jun was making a big fuss and making a small fuss, he had never experienced any harsh environment before, of course, he couldn't say this, so he went with him. After everything was ready, Mo Qingliu slowly crawled over to the stone, and indeed this was really a position that was not easy to operate.
