Chapter 13 Mining (1)

After a few of them left, Feng Xian said, "Brother Xian, you lie down and rest, and I will go out to practice marksmanship." ”

"Okay." I nodded. Subsequently, I couldn't help but think that maybe I could open a martial arts workshop here, anyway, I know all kinds of martial arts in swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and I guess I can earn a lot of money every year just by collecting tuition.

Speaking of weapons, it seems that swords and spears are the main thing in this era, and if I can create a new set of cold weapons that are more practical, I should be able to play a surprising role in winning wars. Among the short weapons, the Tang Knife is the most practical and the most useful, while the functions of the Chinese Halberd are the most diverse in the long weapons, and if these two weapons are used as the main equipment, it should have a pretty good effect.

After dinner in the evening, Feng Xian said, "Brother Xian, you sleep in the house tonight, and I will go to the firewood room to sleep." ”

His bed wasn't very big, just a little wider than a single bed, and we were both bigger, so it was a bit cramped to sleep on.

I couldn't help but say, "The bed is not too small, so you can still sleep in a squeeze." ”

But he said: "No, Brother Xian, your injuries and illnesses have not yet healed, you should recuperate, and you don't have to worry about your brother, who will eat and sleep in the open every time he goes out hunting, and he has long been used to it." ”

I couldn't help but groan to myself, and now I finally understood why he ended up like that. A person like him, if he wants to rule the world, he can become a model, but in the era of deceit, he is just the material that will be eliminated. The so-called multi-capable ministers who govern the world, there are no sages in troubled times. I have to say, this is a very ironic thing.

I didn't sleep quietly that night, I meditated as I thought about the plans for each next step and the surprises that might arise outside of each step. It's too easy for me to change the status quo, but I need some time to implement my plan. In fact, what makes me hesitate the most is whether to continue to follow the trend of the times, or directly overthrow the monarchy. If you want to overthrow the monarch directly, this is somewhat troublesome, after all, the people of this era have been deeply influenced by the concept of "divine authority of kings" for a long time, and if you want to say that there is no god, I am afraid that not many people may believe it. However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is how to pull together a united and strong team. If the people in my team are not able to unite and are easily crushed by hardships and sugar-coated shells, what can we do with the strength of a few of us?

They slept for about six or seven hours that night, and set off at three or four o'clock in the morning. As soon as they met, most of them were snorting again and again, obviously excited that they hadn't slept all night, but their spirits were still quite full. Then the six of us drove two wagons to the north in the dew. Along the way, several people were quiet and did not speak, but I could feel from the magnetic field emitted from their bodies, and they were all very excited at the moment.

Normally, the more excited a person's nerves are, the stronger his will becomes, the faster the frequency of the magnetic field in the body vibrates, and the greater the density of the amplitude. Therefore, I can judge their state of mind at the moment based on these situations shown by the magnetic field.

In other words, in the weather in February and March, the morning in the north is still quite cool, and I saw that each of them was wearing a rough sheepskin coat, although the production process of this coat was relatively rough, but the effect of resisting the wind and cold was quite good. Originally, Feng Xian planned to give me his clothes to wear, but I didn't want them, how could I be frozen at such a temperature.

Normally, my body can withstand a temperature difference of 100 degrees Celsius above and below without the slightest effect. That's one of my strengths as an android, and when I was in the army, I was able to do many tasks that seemed difficult to accomplish.

However, then again, some people may ask, what are my weaknesses besides my strengths? I thought about it carefully, and there was probably only one drawback, and that was that I was really a unique species in the world, and Nima was too rare.

We were about an hour away, far from the village, surrounded by bushland. At this time, I noticed an unusual murderous aura in the woods on both sides of the road, and I couldn't help but extend the magnetic field to investigate, it turned out that more than a dozen coyotes were secretly following us, and it seemed that they were treating us as food.

Normally, wild beasts would not dare to attack a group of humans, but if they are extremely hungry and there is a certain disparity in numbers, they are likely to attack in order to keep their stomachs filled, which is essentially the same as humans.

Suddenly, Feng Xian spoke: "Everyone, be careful, we are being targeted by wild beasts." ”

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but pick up the spears and crossbows beside them. Feng Xian handed me his spear and said, "Brother Xian, take it for self-defense." ”

I smiled slightly and took it. As they continued on their way, they were alert to their surroundings. Looking at their ease of use, it is estimated that they have experienced such a situation before.

Gradually, the sky began to dawn, and we drove for almost 100 kilometers, probably because the coyotes saw that there was no chance of attacking, so they retreated again.

Then we went to the bank of a river, washed up, and then set up a pot to burn some early to replenish our stomachs. But they said that this kind of camping life is what I am good at, and they were somewhat surprised to see that I was familiar with the work.

Wei continued: "Huh? I can't see that Brother Cheng Lian has fine skin and tender meat, and he is not ambiguous when he works! ”

I said, "Where, I used to do this kind of work a lot." ”

Wei Xu said strangely: "Could it be that you were also a hunter in the mountains before?" Doesn't it look like it? ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "yes, what do you think I'm doing?" ”

He said: "I think you are very different from us, you should be the son of a big family, right?" ”

I smiled and said, "On the contrary, like my brother, I am also an orphan without a father and a mother. ”

He shook his head and said, "I don't see it, even if you are an orphan, you are definitely not the head of a poor family, and the poor family has never seen you with such fine skin and tender meat." ”

I couldn't help but joke: "That's because I take good care of it." ”

"What's it called maintenance?" Li Su on the side suddenly asked with a strange expression.

I asked, "Do you want to be like me?" ”

Li Su said undeniably: "Yes, if I can look as white as you, then I can marry a beautiful mother-in-law." ”

When the others heard what he said, they couldn't help laughing, but they heard Wei Xu say again: "People are naturally beautiful, just you are exposed to the wind and sun all day long, black and not like a charcoal, and you still want to become a beautiful man?" What kind of dream are you doing in broad daylight? ”

Li Su waved his hand again and again and said: "Go, go, you black and fat are not much better, black and fat, the whole big black pig, which family's mother-in-law and aunt see you like this, then maybe you will lose your appetite." ”

Wei Xu didn't have any temper when he said this, but he still looked a little unhappy.

In other words, they are not very dark, but because they do a lot of crop work on weekdays, they will inevitably be exposed to the sun for a long time. Compared with dark-skinned people, they are much better, and compared with white-skinned people, it naturally looks very pale.

I smiled and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to turn white, you should all have cattle and sheep at home, right?" ”

Both of them nodded and said, "Yes, every family in our village has several cows and sheep." ”

I said, "Then when you go out to work in the fields, wrap your body tightly, put a straw hat on your head to shield yourself from the sun, and when you come home in the evening, you will put milk or goat's milk on your face, and wash it off the next morning." In addition, the leftover watermelon rind in summer and the winter melon rind can be peeled into pieces, mixed with a small amount of egg white, and then pasted on the face, which can have a beauty effect; If you do what I say and keep doing it, sooner or later you will become like me. ”

"Really?" General Li Su asked suspiciously.

I smiled and said, "It's really fake, you can just try it." ”

Wei Xu couldn't help but say: "You see that Brother Lian is so white, presumably it should be maintained like this from time to time, let's go back and give it a try." ”

Li Su nodded and said, "Okay, let's try it later." ”

At this time, Qin Yi on the side suddenly said: "If you cover it too tightly, won't you have prickly heat on a hot day?" ”

Li Su said: "It's better to have prickly heat than black charcoal, which girl can look at it like us." ”

But Feng Xian, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Just make a few breathable holes in the sleeves, and you won't have prickly heat." ”

Li Su couldn't help but say, "Huh? What Brother Bu said is a good way, haha, our black baby can become white now! ”

In other words, the ancients usually regarded white as beauty, and they also had their own set of methods for skin maintenance, but that was generally something that rich ladies would do, and there were not as many tricks as our later generations. However, my skin is not deliberately maintained by myself, but it is itself like this, and it does not absorb much melanin from ultraviolet rays.
