Chapter 112: The Road Ahead
Ya, is it similar to the nature of going up the mountain and falling grass in ancient times, why are a few old men getting more and more wild, look at the Han blacksmith who is idle, and the mind of privately minting coins is there, this is a proper way to go to the road of rebellion.

However, Yu Zhou still likes this idea very much, now the world is in chaos, many laws and regulations are in vain, for the sake of weapons, for future expenses, there is no harm in saving more private collections, and after King Qin dominates the world, there is no chance to mine it, and even sitting will make everyone around him automatically become Da Qin's eyeliner.
Han blacksmith finally went on the road, took away more than a dozen young people, for a time only left a handful of old and weak women and children on the mountain, carpenters and leathermen are still busy with their own work, spring planting, summer and autumn harvest and winter hiding, everyone works strictly according to the four hours.
Song Zhi saved more and more wood, in his words, when the house was built, the wood was not properly treated, and when the spring of the next year begins, it will definitely crack and deform, and it will have to be repaired again.
Lao Cao's skin had already filled the hut of the father and son, and in desperation, he could only let the carpenter set up another room for storage, and there were fewer beasts in the mountains, so Wei Zhe used the most effective means.
This old guy actually hunted a tiger alone when he was playing, and the dark long sword was inserted straight into the brain, and the old Cao shouted vigorously to spoil a good piece of skin, and the tiger bone and tiger skin were stored, and after the old man spilled the tiger's urine respectively, even the wild boar was gone.
The disadvantage is that Lao Cao goes out to hunt again, and the harvest is getting less and less.
After the men were gone, the women burst out with a different kind of industriousness and simplicity, except for the old and the young, who took care of a small village with vitality, such as the cultivation of winter wheat, all thanks to these women.
Yu Zhou didn't like to stay in the house more and more, he originally wanted to bring the hot spring water as a heater, but at that time, the house was built in a hurry, and he couldn't tolerate these delicate work, so he had to give up, and now many people go out with the blacksmith, and the cold house lacks popularity, so it is better to work outside.
He was very satisfied with his present life, the sun rose and the sun set, as long as he moved his body, he did not feel the cold at all, and the blacksmith's shack became his favorite place to go.
The first batch of copper ingots has been shipped back, it is said that the old man Han almost went crazy, he found a rare mine with the guidance of Yu Zhou, the small cave is densely covered with ores, and even the natural copper has picked up a lot, the old man lay on the ground and cried into a baby in confinement, insisting on living in the cave and never coming out.
More than a dozen people can't even smelt and transport without being noticed, it was a bit troublesome, but as soon as Zhong Liyi, who was traveling with him, showed the general's family order, everyone in the local area turned a blind eye, they had never entered the mine, and they didn't know what it was like inside, but the general's token was real.
A small amount of cast iron was also brought back, all of which were stored in a cave not far from the village.
During the day, I hit the iron to exercise my muscles and bones, and when I was tired, I went to the hot spring to take a soak, and when I came back at night, I told the two little girls a story.
As for the two little girls, when there is no one at home, they always run east and west with Chen's mother, they really don't like the sound of tinkling when the iron is struck, the hot spring is the favorite, but once Yu Yue was greedy for fun, and after soaking for a long time, she actually dizzy.
Since then, the elder brother has set a strict schedule for the two of them, and they must not bathe for more than an hour every day, and the children are always restless, and after living in the mountains for a long time, they begin to yearn for the outside again.
Whenever the men in the village came back, they were the happiest, because they could hear a lot of rumors from the outside, but Xiang Ran was getting more and more disappointed, and there was no news of her father and brother, which made her very uneasy, and the little child already knew a lot of things.
Her eldest father is a general, and her father is also a general, and generals always have to fight, and in the future, her uncle may have to fight, and in the future, her brother will also be successful on the battlefield, and she has asked the adults what it is to fight.
The man with a smile on his face when he brought her back snacks always fell silent at this moment, touched his little head, and told her that fighting a war is a very cruel and murderous thing, a hundred times more dangerous than hunting, and the little girl still doesn't know it.
Xiang Ran didn't ask anymore, because no one in the village likes to mention war, and many people settled down after the death of their father and brother.
Don't ask doesn't mean don't worry, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, and finally once the little girl woke up crying from a dream, Yu Zhou was shocked to realize that he cared less about the two girls.
"What's the matter, Ranran, what did you dream about?"
"There are a lot of tigers, and wolves, bite my brother together, the eldest brother can't finish fighting, and finally escapes into the water, and there are strange fish that bite him, woo ......"
"Xiao Ran, Brother Xiang is the most powerful, no beast can beat him, you forgot, when we were at home, he didn't bring back prey to taste together."
"But those are different, some monsters have mouths full of teeth, and they are scary."
"Don't worry, Brother Xiang has a lot of strength, and he is the best at breaking his teeth, didn't you see that he broke his teeth, and his grinning mouth is even more terrifying."
The little girl laughed after hearing the puff, she was not easy to coax: "Brother deceives people, Uncle Chen said that children will change their teeth when they are old, hasn't my brother changed them?" ”
"Changed, let me tell you, in fact, many of the lost teeth are broken off, some children are broken off when they are asleep, your eldest brother is much more powerful, he broke it himself."
The little girl stared at her eyes in horror, covered her mouth tightly and said vaguely: "Brother Ziji, don't break it when I change my teeth, it hurts......"
Seeing that she really believed it, Yu Zhou didn't continue to play tricks, anyway, this little girl's mind was no longer in a nightmare, and continued: "Then do you think Brother Xiang is fierce?" ”
Xiang Ran nodded like pounding garlic: "Fierce, he looks at people differently from others, I sometimes don't dare to approach, but I haven't seen him for a long time, so I panic." ”
"Now, yes, you have to remember that wild beasts can smell fear, and the more scared you are, the more rampant they will be, and if you can make the other person afraid, they will just run away with their tails between their legs, so ah, no monster can hurt your eldest brother."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, and said cowardly: "What about that person, will he also be afraid of my eldest brother, if the eldest brother fights with them, will he lose?" ”
Finally figured out what she had been depressed for several days, Yu Zhou was relieved: "Your eldest brother won't fight with people now, and people are the same as beasts, whoever is afraid first will lose." ”
Xiang Ran felt a lot more relieved, squeezed his little body into Yu Zhou's arms, and hummed in a low voice: "Why do you always fight around, will my brother fight with others?" ”
Yu Zhou never thought that the question of what path he would take in the future would come out of the mouth of a little girl, and he replied after a moment of silence: "War is fought because it is to fight, some fight for fame, some fight for profit, and some just fight for a chance to live and the right to speak." ”
"As for my brother, I can't say it either, maybe......"
"Oh......"
Listening to the little girl's wilting, he continued: "You think, we don't provoke anyone now, there are wild beasts to spoil the food, and when my brother grows up, if there are still people bullying us, then we will definitely fight back." ”
After talking for a long time without replying, I looked down and saw that the little girl had fallen asleep with her eyes closed, and lightly covered another layer of quilt, and Yu Zhou also closed her eyes and slept.
