Jiang Han, who followed closely, reminded, "Forget it today, seeing that it is getting late, if you regenerate his thoughts, someone will follow suit, and when it gets dark, it will be difficult to move an inch here!" ”

"There are ramp stone steps there, and it seems that Tsz Yun Temple has been brilliant for a while?"

"After all, Buddhism is a foreign thought, and now the entire Qinchuan is surrounded by monks, and the royal family surnamed Li is a descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er, and he is on the verge of being repaired by the descendants of Taoist ancestors. This Tsz Yun Temple has been dilapidated since my father can remember, and today it is even more barren and green, like a wild mountain. ”

"It's so remote, why do you still visit it so often?" Li Zhi asked with a strange smile

"There is a lot of attention to in the Orion business, and before the hunt begins, you must worship the mountain god religiously. During the hunting, when you encounter other temples, you have to bow down one by one, and you can't pass by. When talking to unrelated people, you can't talk about how many beasts you plan to fight or what kind of beasts you want to fight. Don't sing, don't make noise, and don't talk loudly. ”

"And all this knowledge in it?"

"Not only that, but hunting days are taboo on the seventh, seventeenth, and twenty-seventh days of the first month of the month, and you are not allowed to go out to hunt. Hunters should not tell others about the direction and location of hunting, even relatives. Because hunters believe that wild beasts have the ability to foresee. It's autumn, and the animals are fattening up after a year. In fact, hunting is also a production process, in addition to hunting wild animals, it also plays a role in controlling wild animal populations and maintaining natural ecological balance, which has many ways. ”

Talking all the way, the two also turned back, Li Zhi didn't ask again, in fact, he had planned to come to explore at night, the purpose was not the Tsz Yun Temple on the mountain, but the kind of glittering gold beads.

He had a hunch that it would be a very precious jade, or a kind of colored diamond, such as a heavenly treasure such as a wood spirit bead, which did not need to be considered.

"In fact, there is a rare tree species in the mountain, we call it an iron birch, twice as hard as ordinary steel, it should be the hardest wood in the world, it is very rare in the Qinling Mountains, my fourth brother and I have encountered a few, and we want to use it as a metal substitute, but at that time, we couldn't intercept the body of the tree, and cut down a few mountain knives, so I barely pulled back a few branches."

Li Zhi's interest was great, and the three of them had an ancient short knife given by Nari Song in their hands, which is said to be several times harder than ordinary steel, can you try it with it?

"The branches are in the Jiang family's compound?"

"We needed to look for it, and after pulling it back, we found that even if we could cut off the forks and forks of the branches on it, the bent part of it could not be solved. Well, that's it! ”

Jiang Han took out a one-foot-long wooden stick from his backpack, which seemed to be taken from the straightest part of it, "I will use it as a crowbar, and it is no problem to pry dozens of catties of boulders!" ”

Li Zhi took the feeling and started it with a heavy feeling, it was really as heavy as an iron rod, its whole body was dark, and the texture was extremely dense, and it took a trace of true qi to see its wooden texture.

"As soon as you put it in the water, it sinks, and even if you soak it in water for a long time, you can still keep it dry when you take it out." Jiang Han further explained.

"Uncle, this is a good thing, where you and the fourth uncle found it, are there many such trees?"

"There are two or three hundred trees, which are already in a very remote position, and because their outer skin suddenly looks up, they are no different from ordinary birch trees. But if you look closely, you can see the original color of the black or black-brown tree in the cracked bark. ”

"If we have a way to cut them down, it shouldn't be easy to carry them out of the mountain, and the weight is extremely heavy, and this short foot of branch has the same weight as an iron rod!"

"It's not hard to do! Outside the forest is a steep mountain cliff, although there is a drop of dozens of zhang when it rolls down the mountain, but the valley below is a waist-deep barren meadow, which can be pressed into a thick and soft land, and it must not be damaged much! There is not far from the foot of the mountain, and there is a steep slope of more than ten zhang, and then roll down, it is a spacious place that can be reached by horse-drawn carriage! ”

"How thick is each plant?"

"It's about a foot in diameter, not too thick, but it seems to me that it's hundreds of years old!"

Li Zhi pondered for a long time, "Uncle like this, let's take a day to take a look at it, if we can find a way to cut it, then cut off a few plants first and pull them back, and then talk about it after the specific use, it will be of great use." I wonder if there are blacksmiths and goldsmiths in our compound? ”

"There are blacksmiths, and there is a small iron-making shaft furnace outside the Jiang family's compound. The goldsmith is not easy to find, but there are just twenty festivals in the county, and there will be goldsmiths in Chang'an City to set up stalls! ”

"The goldsmith has a metal drawing plate there, and if we find a way to buy it, we will be able to develop a way to cut it! In addition, it will be useful to have more saw blades! ”

"Ordinary saw blades, but even iron birch branches are sawed constantly."

"Uncle, I have an advanced smelting process, and due to the limited conditions, I can't refine more, but as long as I can refine the size of a walnut, I have a way to pull it into a steel wire and make a wire saw, which should be able to saw the iron birch!"

Jiang Han's expression was a little sluggish, Li Zhi's statement was really a bit unbelievable, and he was already a little confused.

At this time, the two of them had walked back to the hot mountain chestnut field, and the dozen or so bamboo baskets they brought were already filled, and when they saw Pang Cry smiling and signaling to his eyes, he turned his head to look, Qingqi, Yuran and Yuanwan County Lord, as expected, carried a heavy horse lance, sneakily patrolling something by the river.

Li Zhi smiled dumbly, "It's just a small stream one step wide, you can go into the water to fish with your trouser legs, and carry a bulky horse lance to insert fish, isn't it too overkill?" ”

Yang Gaotang walked over and chuckled: "If they like it, let it be tossed, it's hard to come out and relax, you always have to be happy!" ”

Aunt Yu Ling also came, "It's not allowed to have soldiers to help them, it's been inserted more than a dozen times, I didn't see the fish hair, but I splashed myself in the water, it's better to go directly into the water!" ”

"Brother Zhengwen, let's roast chestnuts here and eat them, we're hungry!" Pang Qi jumped over and grabbed one of Li's arms and shook it vigorously.

"You can't make a fire in the mountains and forests, and once it happens, it's a shocking thing! Besides, it was going to be dark, so we set up a bonfire outside the yard at night, and barbecued meat with chestnuts. By the way," Li Zhi remembered something, and turned to look at Jiang Han, "Uncle, is there any prey around here, my soldiers are all carrying crossbows, hunting a few sheep and deer, and they will roast and eat in the evening!" ”

"Lao Wu took a few people to go early, and there are also mountain hares here, and there will be wild goats over that small hill, and if you are lucky, you will encounter wild boars! Don't think about deer, you can only occasionally see a few in the extreme depths of the Qinling Mountains! Jiang Han responded.

Yang Gaotang said with a smile: "The seventh uncle also went, he is more interested than the young man, and this person has a unique skill of barbecue, and the ordinary herbs seem to be mixed indiscriminately, and the fragrance can be obtained." I asked him for a few times and didn't give him a prescription! ”

"Isn't there a cry? Yes, you can analyze the herbs in Uncle Seven's hand. Li Zhi looked at Pang Qi.

Pang Qi's small chest was slightly straight, "Of course, Uncle Yang, as long as Uncle Seven takes it out at night, as long as it is very short, I can secretly tell you the secret recipe configuration!" ”

Yang Gaotang was overjoyed, "Uncle Seventh always teases me with this matter, this time let's see how he speaks wildly!" ”

Jiang Han was looking at this and that, he was already confused about the names of several people.

Aunt Yu Ling saw that she covered her mouth and was happy, "They have their own origins, and their generations are chaotic, and the people around us will be chaotic if they don't pay attention to it, you are Uncle Yuran, and Uncle Seventh is also equivalent to your peers." ”

Jiang Han scratched his head and said in his heart, what should I call you?

When a few bamboo baskets were full of chestnuts, the three people by the stream gradually felt bored, the key was the disappointment after finding nothing, of course, their small and tender arms, and they could barely lift the heavy weapons in their hands.

Li Shang stepped forward, took the horse lance and examined it carefully, the lance was actually a little damaged, he summoned Tang Qi, "One day after tomorrow, the iron-making furnace in the Jiang family's compound will be opened, and these heavy weapons will be quenched and quenched for you, and they will be much harder." ”

Tang Qi's face was happy, "Mr. Li still has such skills?" ”

"The key is the right workmanship, nothing is difficult! You see these girls are also very disappointed, is there a good way to catch some fish, we will bake and eat at night! ”

Tang Qi turned around and beckoned a few sergeants, bowed his head and said a few words, and a few of them scattered and walked everywhere.

Not long after, there are more than a dozen zhang creek nearby that was cut into several sections by the soil, everyone came forward to watch, there are more than one foot long crucian carp in each section of the river, half a foot long yellow and spicy dice, a long river shrimp.

"Start quickly, otherwise after a long time, the stream behind will rush over and flood the river!"

Before Tang Qi's words fell, Li Zhi had already pulled his trouser leg and went down to the river, and did not forget to turn around and instruct: "Uncle, look at it, the children can't go into the water, it's biting cold, just ask them to break some straw ropes and come back." ”

As he spoke, he had thrown a crucian carp more than a foot long ashore, and the Qingqi girls had long forgotten their frustration, and shouted loudly and bent over to press the fish.

Several other people also went into the water in various river sections, and Yang Gaotang also rolled up his trouser sleeves to occupy one side.

There are children who quickly pulled the wild grass, kneaded it into a hemp rope, and strung the gills of the fish, Pang Cry and Granny Xia cut the bamboo from nowhere, and the sixth child split it into strips, and Pang Cry made a fish basket with his fingers.

In the Li family compound in Fengwu County, Pang Ti helped another seventh uncle weave bamboo weaving, which came in handy at this time.

On the other hand, Granny Xia is also learning to weave, but her fingers are clumsy and slow, and her style is also very crude, which attracts Pang Qi for a long time to laugh.

Over there, Yang Gaotang exclaimed, and he actually caught a catfish nearly one meter large, which was really rare in this original mobile disease.

Immediately, a few people ran to see it fresh, and Yang Gaotang exclaimed again, but it was another one and a half meters huge catfish in his hand.

Such a huge thing frightened the girls to scream, and Pang Qi also rushed over with a braided fish basket: "Huh? Catfish are nocturnal animals, mostly hidden in grass, under stones or deep water during the day, and will forage frequently at night, and prefer to live in deep water or sludge after autumn to overwinter, Uncle Yang, did you find a catfish nest? ”

Yang Gaotang said excitedly, "It should be good, I lifted a big rock, and they appeared, I have lived for decades, and it is the first time I have seen such a huge catfish!" ”

Fang Pin stepped forward, took the huge catfish with both hands, stretched out his fingers, and knocked it out, only then did he take out a cloth belt from his baggage, tie it up in sections, and throw it on the grass.

Obviously, Li Zhi's limelight was robbed by Yang Gaotang, so he simply gave up that section of the river and walked along the upstream alone, and finally caught a crucian carp more than one meter long by him for a long time.

Pang Qi clapped his hands and danced happily, and the mood of the people at this time was even more enthusiastic than when he came, especially the twenty or so sergeants, whose always tense faces were also full of smiles.

This is the effect Li Zhi wants to obtain, it is not easy to come out once, how to return with fun is very important to him as an organizer, and seeing the people around him are active is his primary idea.
