Li Qingyuan just took this time to take a look at the cottage where the crow was in charge, this time the cottage was really a cave, Li Qingyuan didn't understand why a group of big men were reluctant to live in a cave, why crows and a group of girls were willing to live.

The crow introduced to Li Qingyuan: "This place is called Baiyun Mountain Mopanling, Li Da Dangjia also saw it, the road up the mountain is tortuous, there is no road here, we have a field on the mountain to plant some crops, generally not a famine rarely go down the mountain to rob." ”

Li Qingyuan was a little surprised, no wonder he could be a righteous bandit, this group of people also planted land in the mountains, Li Qingyuan asked curiously: "Then what are you planting?" ”

"What about corn, sweet potatoes, sorghum, etc.? What do you usually plant? Raven asked curiously.

Li Qingyuan touched his nose: "That's what we planted, by the way, I didn't see your fields along the way?" ”

"Oh, the fields are in the back mountain, there is a depression over there, do you want to go over and have a look?" The crow asked, pointing behind him.

Li Qingyuan shook his head and asked, "Then why do you want to live in a cave?" If you are surrounded, will you not be surrounded by the Qing soldiers who smoke at the entrance of the cave? ”

The crow smiled: "How can it be so easy, I am here to return to the cave of nine turns, according to legend, it is Zhang Yan's Tibetan Soldier Cave during the Three Kingdoms, the cave extends in all directions, there are dozens of miles long, and it leads to Liao County to the west, and there are many horizontal hole forks and vertical hole cracks, and there is smoke to be discharged. ”

Li Qingyuan was surprised, such a long hole, he heard of it for the second time, the first time was when he was traveling on the side of the Shengqi Mountain in Henan, he heard that there was an ancient cave dozens of miles long, but he didn't expect that there was also one here, it was really a wonder in the world.

Li Qingyuan asked curiously: "Since this hole extends in all directions, if others come in from other places and run into your boudoir, then you will not suffer?" ”

The crow gave him a blank look: "How can we be so stupid to set up doors in the places leading to the inside, one is to prevent people from entering through other caves, and the other is to prevent our people from straying into the cave and not being able to get out." ”

Li Qingyuan looked at the mountains and forests here, and there was a large gentle slope and pointed and asked, "Isn't there a place to build a house over there?" Why do you live in caves? ”

The crow sighed and said, "We used to build houses out of wood, but it was too cold in winter and too humid in summer, so it was better to live in a cave, at least it was warm in winter and cool in summer, and there were treasures in this cave." The crow said proudly.

"Oh? What baby? Can you let me see it too? "Li Qingyuan is also interested, isn't there any treasure?

After the crow finished speaking, he regretted it, his face was red and he didn't know whether to say it or not, Li Qingyuan saw that she was embarrassed, so he waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it, I won't look at it either, what you find will be yours, I won't rob your ......." ”

The crow said embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm afraid of you robbing it, in fact, there are a few hot springs, and our sisters usually wash ...... in it, so ......." ”

Li Qingyuan immediately understood, no wonder the crow was embarrassed, it turned out to be a hot spring, Li Qingyuan thought it was a good baby, what is so good about this girl's bath, Li Qingyuan nodded: "This is really convenient, soaking in hot springs is good for the body." ”

The crow asked, "What's the benefit?" ”

Li Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "The hot spring contains a lot of minerals, which are beneficial to the human body, and the skin becomes white after soaking, treating rheumatism and joint pain. ”

The crow nodded: "Oh, then I'll let everyone bubble more in the future, everyone used to smell a smell of rotten eggs, and they didn't want to wash it, even if they were dirty, they only went to wash it for a while, and only in winter it was too cold to be willing to soak for a while......"

Li Qingyuan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Rotten egg smell?" Isn't it yellow? ”

The crow nodded: "Yes, not only is the water a little yellow, but the soil below is all yellow......." ”

Li Qingyuan said happily: "Then take me to have a look." ”

The crow is strange, didn't he just say that he wouldn't watch it? Why do you want to watch it now? The crow nodded and took Li Qingyuan to the cave, and the two walked in the cave for a mile or two, twisting and turning, making Li Qingyuan dizzy, and the crow stopped at a corner.

Li Qingyuan asked strangely: "Why don't you leave?" ”

The crow said, "You wait here for a while, I'll see if there's anyone in there......"

Li Qingyuan then remembered that this was someone's bathhouse, and he rashly broke in, what if someone took a bath in it? Li Qingyuan stood still, the crow quickly turned the corner, and after a while, the sound of the three women laughing came, and when he turned the corner, he saw Li Qingyuan standing here and quickly lowered his head and ran away.

Li Qingyuan touched his nose, and the crow turned around and said, "The big boss can come in......"

Li Qingyuan turned to the hot springs and saw that there were three or four pools the size of a basketball court together, and under the reflection of the torches, he could see the hot springs bubbling hot, and bursts of hot air came out of the pools, and a pungent smell came.

When he walked in and looked again, he saw that the entire cave wall and the bottom of the cave were wrapped in a layer of yellow, and Li Qingyuan's excited lips were trembling, this is a sulfur spring, I didn't expect that the sulfur that I had been meditating on for a long time and had no way to obtain it was actually here.

Seeing that Li Qingyuan had been lowering his head and touching it, the crow asked curiously, "How is it?" Is there something wrong? ”

Li Qingyuan sighed and said, "Now there is bad news and a good news for you. ”

Raven: "...... What's the bad news? ”

"The bad news is that the hot springs here contain excessive sulfur, and it is estimated that soaking too much will be harmful to the human body." Li Qingyuan said heavily.

The crow listened to it and his heart tightened, so would there be any problem with him? Hurriedly asked Li Qingyuan: "What's the harm?" And, what about the good news? ”

Li Qingyuan asked, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?" ”

The crow thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is no discomfort, huh?" I don't come here very often, only once or twice a month...... ”

Li Qingyuan nodded: "That's okay, the good news is that there may be sulfur here, if the sulfur can really be mined, then the big problem will be solved!" ”

"Brimstone? What can sulfur do? Is it worth it? The crow frowned, not knowing what it could do.

Li Qingyuan looked at her speechlessly, didn't he say that one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal are the well-known gunpowder recipes of the Chinese people? I don't know if sulfur is worth much, but it can be used to make gunpowder." ”

"Gunpowder? ......" The crow felt that Li Qingyuan's superstitious behavior of the power of firearms was wrong, and she didn't believe what they said about how powerful firearms were, but people insisted that she could say anything, and now she was very curious about how powerful the musket that Li Qingyuan had high hopes for.
