Chapter 281: Burning Cement

With something to do, time flies very quickly, but things are not as simple as Zhang Yi thought. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was easy to build a brick kiln, but the gypsum that Zhang Yi wanted to have everywhere he wanted to come was not found, so the matter of firing cement was stuck.

"Uncle! Shuo Fang, our brothers almost turned out the turf, you see, the shoes are all broken....." Wang Lao Wu blushed and looked at Zhang Yi, who was frowning.

Wang Lao Wu was very depressed, this was the first task given to him by Zhang Yi since he set out on the expedition, but he didn't expect it to be messed up..... You must know that today's Wang Lao Wu is also a figure with a head and a face in Zhangjiazhuang, which undoubtedly makes him feel very embarrassed.

"Do you want to give you a reason to bury the plaster before you find it?" Zhang Yi still looked at Wang Lao Wu quietly, and saw that Wang Lao Wu's face was becoming more and more embarrassed, so he said: "Forget it, it's not your fault that you can't find it, this grassland is naturally different from our Guanzhong, there are many differences in both landform and other aspects, and it's normal that you can't find it!" ”

"Then you told me to look for it?" Wang Lao Wu muttered quietly, but he was just complaining, if he really wanted to say that, he wouldn't dare.

After all, Zhang Yi's prestige in Zhangjiazhuang can now be compared with that of his uncle, and now Zhangjiazhuang's huge industrial empire is Zhang Yi's industry, and they are equivalent to Zhang Yi's employees.

Zhang Yi naturally wouldn't tell Wang Lao Wu that he hadn't paid attention for a while, so he didn't say anything, and said at the moment: "I'm just testing you, you know, we are fighting outside, the first thing we need to pay attention to is to survive in this strange environment!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yi looked at several other old people from Zhangjiazhuang and said, "You have seen it yourself, the grassland is different from our Guanzhong, and it is naturally not possible to use our previous survival methods!" ”

As he spoke in a didactic tone, he pointed to a hill in the distance that seemed to be very close, and continued: "Look, when do you think you will be able to arrive at that hill? ”

Several people immediately looked at the hill, but did not speak.

As Zhang Yi said, the hill seemed to be more than ten miles away, and it would only take them about two hours at most to reach it with their footsteps.

"Two hours!" Wang Lao Wu stretched out two fingers, looked at each other with several villagers, and said to Zhang Yi: "We can arrive in two hours!" ”

"Really?" Zhang Yi laughed and said, "I hope you don't talk big, so how about I accompany you?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yi instructed the rest of the people to start warming the kiln and firing bricks, and then rode his jujube red horse and followed Wang Lao Wu and the others all the way.

......

Wang Lao Wu felt that his eyes should be very problematic.

It had been an hour since the departure, but the hill still looked like it would take two hours, which undoubtedly made him doubt his previous judgment.

Like him, several other men from Zhangjiazhuang also felt this way, and when they thought of the big words that they hadn't said for long, a group of people couldn't help but speed up their pace.

"Fifth brother, why do I think we don't move all the way?"

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, one of the middle-aged men named Zhang Daniu finally couldn't help but pull Wang Lao Wu, who was walking in front, and said, "It's a bit evil!" ”

Hearing Zhang Daniu say this, the rest of the men suddenly slowed down and looked at Wang Lao Wu.

Wang Lao Wu naturally didn't have such an idea, because although it seemed that they basically hadn't gone far, but in fact it was not, he looked back at Shuofang City behind him, and said: "It's not an evil sect, in fact, we have come a long way!" You see, when we came out, we were not far from Shuofang City, which was about the same distance as we used to walk. On the other side of the hill, it is different, there should be some doorway inside, although I don't know, but I believe that Uncle must know! ”

"Hey, that's the problem?" Zhang Yi has been riding on a horse to look at the scenery, seemingly indifferent to everything, but in fact he is looking at the landscape of the grassland.

Because just as he judged the geomorphology between the grassland and the plain, gypsum mines will be born in the plains due to the geological structure between some special strata, and the grassland is actually roughly the same, so the purpose of his observation is also to find gypsum mines.

However, he was very disappointed along the way, because the place he had walked so far did not look like a terrain with such mineral deposits, so they had to go all the way.

Of course, what Wang Lao Wu said just now was actually just a joke.

There has always been a saying in the grassland, that is, there is a mountain in the distance, and it takes three days to ride a horse.

From this, we can think that although the hills in front of us seem to be very close, in fact, it is because the grassland topography has an illusion of human eyes, and thus forms a wrong judgment.

The reason why I haven't said it until now is also because Wang Lao Wu, a dead duck, has a hard mouth, and he already knows that it is impossible to go in two hours, but he still looks like he can do it.

This kind of mind is not a good thought.

Although it contains a noble quality called never giving up, it is a tendon according to another way!

For this kind of person, if you don't give him a little hardship, you may suffer a big loss at some point.

You must know that these people were brought out by Zhang Yi, if there are a few missing Zhang Yi when they go back, how can they explain to their families?

"If we walk at this pace at this rate, I guess we'll be able to get there in a few days!" Zhang Yi glanced at Wang Lao Wu, who had accelerated his foot strength again, and said, "This is actually an illusion caused by our habits!" To tell you the truth, if I hadn't known in advance how far we were from the hills, I would have thought that we were only two hours away. You know, the air in our Guanzhong is different from here, because it is full of aquatic plants, the air is clearer, and people's eyes will see farther. Not only that, but because of the topography, it is all green, so it also directly affects our observation, and it is precisely because of this that we look close, but in fact we are very far away. ”

"Ahh So, wouldn't we go to death and not be able to go there today? ”

After listening to Zhang Yi's explanation, Wang Lao Wu was completely dumbfounded, the belief in his heart was shattered, and the whole person seemed to have lost motivation and was no longer willing to move forward.

"You don't have to go, just that place over there, you go and dig with a Mo knife to see!" Zhang Yi also pulled the reins and stopped, pointed to a high ground not far away, and said, "I think there is a very good chance of plaster over there!" ”
