In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Mi Tong, who was sleeping on the floor, was woken up by a violent knock on the door.

"Whoosh" quickly got up, thinking that Yong Xiao must have come back with the thin jade piece. When he opened the door, he saw a fat "face" standing outside the door, which really startled Mi Tong.

At this time, people's living conditions were very difficult, and it was really rare to have such a fat "face" that was not aristocratic. It's not who Kang Quan is!

"Uh, why did the whole brother come here at this time, is there anything wrong?" Mi Tong calmed down slightly, blocked the door and hurriedly said.

Kang Quan glanced inside, thinking that he didn't see Yongxiao and was a little hesitant, and asked, "Naturally, I was looking for you to learn to hunt." At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the prey had not been disturbed by anyone after a night of activity last night, so it was the best time to hunt......"

"Ugh!" Mi Tong nodded slightly when he heard this, and then deliberately asked, "That...... Why don't we stop hunting late at night, when the prey is moving, obviously more of it, wouldn't it be better? ”

Kang Quan smiled and said, "Hunting late at night, you need to light a torch, it's really useless to disturb the prey." If we don't light the torches, it will be too dangerous, and then we may be reversed, and we will be the mouths of those great beasts. At this time, the sky is not yet clear, and the large fierce beast has already eaten enough after the hunt of the night last night, and I am afraid that it has already returned to its cave to sleep; It's just the right time to look for traces of small prey......"

It's right to think about it, this era is not like later generations, there are more people and less prey, and there are not too many large beasts, so the hunting is carried out at night; Moreover, in later generations, there were flashlights, which could be switched on and off freely, unlike now, when torches needed to be lit, and small prey were scared away before people arrived. Then he said, "Okay, let's go......"

"Uh, that'...... What about the little brother who came with you? Kang Quan was a little surprised, frowned and asked.

Mi informed Dao Kang that he was suspicious, but there was no way at the moment, so he had to lie: "Uh...... This, he may be a little unaccustomed to the soil here, and he is having stomach trouble, he has pulled it several times last night, and he ran out to pull it again just now......"

Kang Quan looked back and warned in disbelief: "You have to be careful about this, although this area is inhabited by our Kang clan, there are still large beasts infested; Moreover, we are the westernmost part of Jingshan, close to Yongguo and Baipu, and there may be disputes with enemy countries at any time, so it is better not to run around at night. ”

"Yes!" Mi Tong replied obediently: "It's just that he can't do anything about diarrhea."

Kang Quan listened, obviously very satisfied with Mi Tong's attitude, so he asked Mi Tong to take the guy and follow him to the place where the animal trap was ambushed yesterday. And said as he went: "That companion of yours is too bold to run around." Don't think you're safe where we live. Recently, it has been rumored that Ao Shang's Zhong Gongzi said that he wanted to release the slaves, which made the slaves of our Kang family ready to move, if it is not good, it is not good to be accidentally injured by those slaves who broke free from control! ”

"Ugh!" Mi Tong was shocked in his heart, this Kang Quan actually talked about himself, but he didn't expect that the first step of the reform he had worked so hard to implement was actually this kind of idea in the eyes of the fat man in front of him. I had to follow Kang and ask, "I wonder what you think of this freeing of slaves?" ”

"What do I think? Hey, it's my turn to talk about this! It's just that I heard that Zhong Gongzi was a fool before, why did he seal him to our Jingshan all of a sudden? You say that the eldest grandson is the eldest and the youngest is young, the nobles are the nobles, the common people are the common people, and the children born to slaves are still slaves, this is a rule that has been established for thousands of years, how can there be chaos? Now the slaves are freed, and there are no more slaves in the world, isn't this a mess of the rules? After that, I waited for the mountain people, and I was on the same level as those slaves, so I still have a bird's strength when I am alive! ”

Mi Tong was greatly surprised when he heard this, and said in his heart: This freeing slaves is about equality for everyone. This equality of all living beings is not the most natural thing that human beings in later generations will say. But in the eyes of this Kang Quan, how can he identify with people's three, six, nine, and so on from the heart? And he's not a nobleman, he's just a commoner who is a little higher than a slave! It seems that if you want to change, you have to change the servile psychology of these people.

Kang Quan saw that Mi Tong didn't reply, and thought that Mi Tong agreed with his words, so he only said: "You said that these slaves have been released, who will farm for our Kang family?" Our Kang family members are only good at hunting and farming, and we all let the slaves do it......"

What Kang Quan said is true, since the Kang family came to the west of Jingshan, they have always been hunting for a living, and the fields under their rule are cultivated by those slaves who originally lived here. Besides, the slaves in the Kang family are actually the local Baipu people and some captives captured by Xiong Wukang when he was the king of Ju Kang before, who conquered this Jingxi land. These slaves were under the control of Kang's and cultivated here; And the slave begat the son of the slave, and the son of the slave begat the grandson of the slave...... It runs in the family. In fact, these slaves have long been integrated into the Kang clan, and they regard themselves as part of the Chu State, but there is a gap that cannot be crossed in this class.

However, Mi Tong is here to break this gap. The emancipation of slaves is the trend of the times......

******

After dawn, Mi Tong and Kang Quan returned with three mountain hares and a pangolin. This was the harvest of a few hare traps and traps they had set up the day before.

Yong Xiao had already returned at this time, and he also lay on the ground and lay Xiao Tian for a while, and the wooden box was placed on his right hand.

Mi Tong saw it, and he didn't wake up. After saying goodbye to Kang Quan, he carefully took the wooden box and slowly selected the fragments of the waste jade.

The jade was tattered and very thin, so it was certainly not suitable for use as an accessory. It's just that its transparency is better, and it is suitable for Mitong to make it into lenses.

Mi Tong chose two of these fragments to be a little larger, not more than an inch, but the lens was enough to use as a telescope.

I found a secluded place, found two hard stones, and polished the waste jade......

The texture of this transparent waste jade is not good, otherwise it would not be abandoned by Dou Bobi and the master of green carving, and it didn't take much effort to polish this piece of waste jade into the shape of a convex mirror.

It's just that the lens is a waste material, and there is no specific fixture and ruler, which finally leads to the two lenses are not round, square, and nondescript, and they do not reach the ideal state.

But it's not bad to have that. Mi Tong took the bamboo tube again, carefully divided the bamboo tube into two halves, and then sandwiched the two convex lenses in it, and then tied the bamboo tube with hemp rope as it was, which was like that.

It's just that the two lenses are of different sizes, and he can't calculate the focal length of the convex lens, so he has to disassemble and assemble it back and forth several times before slowly aligning the focus, which can be regarded as complete.

Put it in front of your eyes and take a look, but it really has the function of magnifying the distance, which is much better than expected.

The rest is to see how to dedicate it to this Kang clan patriarch...... Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed! But just give it to the Patriarch of Conway, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, I have to think of a way......
