Chapter 16 Sorrow is the only way to understand life and death

November 18, today is a bit mysterious, Dong Cai arrived early in the morning, and dragged a long burlap bag on the back of the mule. Yang Xi saw that Dong had just arrived, and he didn't speak, and the two silently carried the burlap bag to the office room of the factory.

"Have you got it all?"

"Almost!"

"What do you mean almost? I want it all! ”

"It's almost done, pour me water, I'm dying of thirst!" Dong Cai took the scoop and drank it all: "Zhemu, ten parts, more than 20 years old horns, ten parts of cow back tendons, and ten parts of copper castings." You don't know, I'm scared to death, I don't even dare to order in the same house. I also made the copper casting from a friend on the road. With so much to do, people think I'm going to rebel. Dong Cai has been dating Yang Xi for two months, and he has almost figured out his style, and he often comes to study the so-called heavenly book in the morning, so he is getting closer and closer to Yang Xi when he speaks.

"By the way, are you really going to rebel?"

"Haven't you been idle long enough, how much?"

"Eight thousand dollars together!"

"Are you here to rob? Do you believe that I don't supply you anymore? ”

"Do you know that a crossbow, even if it's a hand crossbow, is at least five thousand?"

"I know, but I just bought some key materials, how much copper is used in the casting, your cost is estimated to be 5,000, give you 6,000, and give you a handful when it's done." Don't bargain with me, I like to be cheerful! ”

Dong Cai was very happy in his heart, he did a favor, took a small risk, and made a net profit of 1,000, and he also got a crossbow for nothing. He didn't know that Yang Xi was not paying him, but giving him self-defense. He needs talent, talent like this, or partners like this. If this kind of partner can't keep up, he will be eliminated.

"Then again, the structure of your castings and accessories is still a little different from the current hand crossbow, it comes from the book of heaven, and I heard that the glue on the crossbow machine is made of animal glue, why didn't you let me buy it, did you get it yourself?"

"Veterinary glue is not good! I want to do the best, I have better, you know that there is something called swim bladder on the fish, and that thing is the best material for boiling glue! ”

"Tear! Your book is really useful, and even this is taught, and it seems that I have to learn more from you. ”

"Yes! Gratis! Anyway, if you want to introduce me to slaves, what is going on, with your means, you shouldn't be able to find a seller who sells slaves, right? ”

"I can find it, I want capital, you only pay me in three months, I have no liquidity, but soon, I have entrusted some previous hawkers, there is some news, but I want to spend the winter soon, when the snow comes, you have nothing to do when the people come back, save you some money." After this year, you see I'll find you a lot of people, just prepare enough money. “

Yang Xi nodded, this Dong Cai is definitely a high-IQ partner.

"By the way, I have a suggestion, you can also earn now, by the end of the New Year, there must be a lot of things, I suggest you find one or two deputies, you should be better, don't go outside to plant it when the time comes, I have one less channel to sell goods."

"I'm also thinking about this matter, I must find two next year, one person is alone, naturally it is better to build a caravan. By the way, I have recently contacted a few eastern townships, and they have some interest in our goods, and suggested that we set up a fleet, and when the fleet starts from the Caishi River to the riverside, there are seven or eight townships along the way, and you can contact the vendors there. ”

"This is also an idea, okay, before the end of this year, I will build a boat, you will be in charge of the contact, and then I will be in charge of the boat and an escort, and you will be in charge of contact."

After Dong Cai left, Yang Xi called the second master, Master Lu and Yang Xiao, Master Lu has now fully integrated, the original probation period was not mentioned at all, and he stayed naturally.

They naturally do whatever Yang Xi says, and as for cooking fish gelatin, they naturally have other arrangements.

The time soon came to December, and the weather in Layue was extremely cold, dry and cold, but Yang Xi's training was never interrupted. Even the special training in the water has never been interrupted for a day.

On the second day of December, it finally snowed heavily, and the whole world was white, and the river was frozen. But in the morning class, no one was absent. Yang Xi did not give a lecture today, and arranged seven days of work for 20.

When it snows, it's obviously not realistic, but there are other things to do. All the female workers went into the mountains to cut wood, and the three carpenters were responsible for processing. At other times, the training is not allowed to be interrupted, and Yang Xiao is responsible for the overall arrangement.

As for the rest of the people, except for Yang's father, everyone else was gathered in the open space of the factory. Yang Shao, Guanxi, Cai Kao, Mao Luan, Wei Nan, Wei Gua, Tian Han, Tian Ju, Ergou, and Sangou, a total of ten people, stood in a row, and the military posture was standard in a row.

"Count!"

The voices were loud, and Yang Xi was very pleased.

"From today onwards, each of us will bring three days of dry food for a seven-day wilderness survival training, and we have already told you some basic rules of survival before, and we will set off today."

"Ready! Get your gear straightened! ”

"Go to the storeroom and get your crossbow arrows!" At this time, of course, there could be no iron arrows, and all arrows were made of bamboo.

There are only nine crossbows, there is no way, when Dong Cai was asked to collect materials, he did not take into account the arrival of two dogs and three dogs. So with the addition of Yang Xi's eleven people, only the second dog and the third dog did not have crossbows.

"Two dogs! Three dogs! You two carry big knives! ”

"Yes!"

Others are back knives with knives, back axes with axes, and even firewood knives that Wei Gua Wei Nan and his brothers still hold.

Yang Xi still used the military long knife borrowed from the crown monkey.

"Yang Xiao! The house will be handed over to you, and within seven days, take care of any property in the house, anyone. ”

"Yes!"

Yang Xi and his entourage of eleven people walked along the north bank of the Caishi River and went all the way to the southwest.

The snow was knee-long, and although everyone only tied their feet and wore straw sandals, they didn't feel cold at all.

Before leaving, Yang Xi checked everyone's data, except for Cai Kao and Mao Luan, who had reached 70 and 69 after two months of training, everyone else was still around 66.

However, Yang Xi believes that with the same physical function, facing the crown monkey, there should be no problem.

Yang Xi's own physical function data is still unsatisfactory, although he has never relaxed for a day, but so far, it is only 48 data.

Why go southwest along the Caishi River, Yang Xi must have his own purpose. Others thought that Yang Xi was purely for training, but Yang Xi's purpose was Caishi Mountain.

It is said that the Saishi River comes out of the Saishi Mountain, and the Saiishi Mountain is said to have a colorful momentum, which is problematic.

Generally, stones, all of which are cyan and have other colors, are generally metallic minerals. Yang Xi wanted to make sure that the colored stone mountain was as he thought.

In one day, after walking for more than 100 miles, there was snow white everywhere, Yang Xi felt that the time was about the same, and he happened to find another cave, so he camped on the spot.

Mao Luan had already roasted the two pheasants and a rabbit that he had just shot over the fire, and put some coarse salt that had been ground into powder by Yang Xi a long time ago.

For three days, there were no accidents.

Yang Xi was a little disappointed, which had nothing to gain except to exercise the adaptability of these people.

"Didn't you say that there would be wild boars in this barren mountain?" Yang Xi muttered to himself casually.

Tian Han said: "That's Gongzi, you are blessed with all the sky, if it is usual, if you have been in the mountains for so many days, you would have encountered a large wild boar a long time ago!" ”

Yang Xi knew that although this guy was physically strong, his brain was not good, and he didn't understand what he meant.

But there is always something to understand.

"Childe, this thing of wild boar, although the skin is rough and the meat is thick, but it will also be afraid of the cold, we are entering the mountain at this time, the time is not right. However, there are occasional surprises, after all, it is better to have a large number of wild boars. We have gone more than 300 miles to the southwest, according to the algorithm of the Book of Heaven, there should be more than 100 kilometers, and we are almost to Caishi Mountain, there are almost no people in this area, and the official beasts often haunt the place. Besides, we went up the river, and the official big beasts often haunted the places where they drank. It was Cai Kao who spoke, this person was brave and strategic, and Yang Xi had already found that he was a little different from others.

Yang Xi took a bite of the burnt pheasant and poured a sip of rice wine, the rice wine at this time was only a temperature of more than ten degrees, and if you didn't drink more, it wouldn't work at all.

"I hope I can meet it, it's not too big, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. Generally, wild boars are only two or three hundred kilograms, so there should be no problem. I'm afraid of male wild boars in estrus, and if they are a little bigger, I'm afraid there will be damage. But since it's survival training, there should be challenges. Okay, it's getting dark, Cai Kao, you arrange a vigil class, the old rules! ”

Yang Xi is too lazy to take care of some trivial matters now, since he found that Cai Kao has this potential, he will leave it to him to arrange.

The moonlight shines exceptionally white, even if it is night, but the night is peaceful. At around five o'clock, Yang Xi was already full of energy. There's no way, there are so many people, all of them have good strength, and there is such a warm bonfire, and there are people to add firewood at night, it's so safe.

Yang Xi got up early and saw that several of them were sleeping, and he didn't wake up, but he saw that Cai Kao didn't sleep at all.

"Didn't sleep all night last night?"

"I slept for about two hours, and I was a little uneasy." He knew that Yang Xi intended to cultivate himself.

"Don't be too stressed, combine work and rest, and try to trust others as much as I trust you."

Cai Kao's heart warmed and said, "Thank you, Childe!" Childe has orders, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and go to the fire! ”

"Don't follow me as a whole idiom, just learn it for a few days, and start showing off. Why do I want you to go to the soup, I'm sick! You are all the same, each of them will save my life, in any case, life first, human life is the first place, what heaven and earth monarchs and teachers are not as important as their own lives. Hey, what about Wei Nan? ”

"It's still there, he's going to get some dry firewood, he just told me!" Cai Kao felt warm in his heart, so he was embarrassed, so he quickly answered the call and diverted his attention.

Yang Xi sighed, but saw that Wei Nan had already come back with a few branches and was stepping down the slope.

Cai Kao's face changed, and he shouted: "Be careful! ”

Wei Nan was fine, and said with a smile: "Just this Xiaopo, you are still afraid that I am handsome to death, make a fuss!" ”

Yang Xi didn't have the heart to see him joking, turned around and rushed to the place where he was just lying, shouting: "He told you to be careful of movement behind you!" All hands on weapons! ”

As soon as the two screamed, the others woke up early, but not yet. Suddenly, everyone heard a low roar, and then they saw a behemoth, which rushed down from behind Wei Nan. Of course, Wei Nan also heard it, and was immediately shocked, but after such a long time of training, his response to emergencies was much faster, and he didn't think much about it, and threw the dry wood in his hand into the air, and the person hurriedly fell down.

It's a pity that he was a step too late, and the huge figure directly reopened the dry firewood, although it was blocked, but it also threw Wei Nan directly into the air, unconscious.
