Chapter 41: Treasures
Decided the goal, decided the direction, the uncles and Feng Bo, Da Ge, and Yang Heng's ox cart were busy, that is, the big construction of these families officially began, the same, this time it was still men and women, and children all went out together, but this time there is no need for anyone to pull the ox cart, this has a cow, naturally this cow to pull the cart, but this cow is too little, when you come back, you still need a few people to help push the cart on the side.
What are they doing, naturally they are quarrying, this time they did not continue to quarry from that valley, this one is that the stones in the valley are all round shapes, and the other one, the stones in this valley, but also to block the footsteps of outsiders, so this time they used to mine stones from the mountains on the edge of the valley.
I don't know how the mountain to the south is made, it is not high, but inside it are stones mixed with the dirt, and some large trees grow in it.
The uncles only need to dig out a place, clean up the trees on the ground, and then they can dig out the stones, the stones here are not round, although the shape is still irregular, but these stones are of the right size, just used to hook up, you can directly build a wall, maybe there will be some big stones in the middle, and the uncles don't need Yang Heng's help, because Yang Heng and his father have already built some tools, such as chisels, small wedges, and some suitable sledgehammers, If the uncles could not break a stone directly with a hammer, they would use a chisel to cut a row of holes in the stone, then put a small wedge in it, and hit it with a hammer, and the stone would be opened.
Although this is more troublesome, but this is also a craft, isn't it, Yang Heng's plan is to let the uncles learn more crafts, and then whether they are local owners and old wealth, or they can have an official to do, they can suffer later, and there is a craft that can be used, isn't it.
At this time, Yang Heng took a few small ones to pick up some small pebbles in the valley on one side, his goal was to use these pebbles to pave the ground of the cloister in the yard, although his yard was enough, but this is not the four uncles still need to build a house, Yang Heng's plan is to live in a new house with the whole family during the New Year this year, and when the New Year is celebrated, if they celebrate the New Year together, it will be closer.
"Uncle, do any of you know how this hill was formed, and are there any legends here?" Suddenly, Yang Heng asked this question to his uncle.
Why is there such a question, because Yang Heng found that in the environment of this week here, only this hill, and that place in the village are questionable, you must know that when a mountain undergoes long-term geological changes, maybe the stones on it will be weathered, or after rapid geological changes, there will be some gravel, but it will definitely become a whole stone inside, that is, this mountain is occasionally smashed by immortals, (if any,) during the fight, but it still needs to have roots, obviously, This mountain has no roots, and then look at the place of the village on the side, look at the land, it seems that the mud and sand on the mountain are washed down by the rain, and then it constitutes such a small mountain plain, but this is what Yang Heng can't understand, unless......
Could it be that this place has been hit by meteorites, but this can be explained, meteorite impacts, not just to fit a large crater, splashed dirt, and stones form such a small mountain, and the other directions, either high mountains, or some high ground, the splashed stones may soon roll back.
"There are no legends, nothing is there." The uncles unanimously denied it, "But uncles, you say that there is no legend here, this should be impossible, any place will have a beautiful or terrifying legend, how can this place not be?" ”
"Well, not really, nephew." An aunt interjected on the side, "The ancestors of your Yang family are relocated from other places, not locals, so naturally I don't know the legend of Ludao, but the villages outside are not locals, they are all some officials, and even the villagers brought by big families, and they are not even as long as the people in this village have been here for a long time, this is all because of the war." The aunt sighed that she married in from the outside, and she didn't know that the aunt herself married in from the outside, that is, all the women in it were married from the outside.
"Oh, forget it, I won't ask, I thought there would be some legends?" Yang Heng said dejectedly. "Ah, by the way, nephew, there is another thing in my house, I don't know if it will be useful to you, brothers, I will go home with my nephew first and give that thing to my nephew, you do it first." "Okay, okay, you go back, we'll know what kind of treasure that thing you have been thinking about, maybe my nephew will know it." It seems that there is really something in the uncle's family, but he just hasn't studied it, and even the other uncles know about it.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" "Nephew, when you see it, you will know it, I can't say, it's just a boxy object, I thought this was a box, there should be some treasures in it, maybe I have nothing to do with these treasures, I can't open this box no matter what, maybe this is really a meteorite that others say." Uncle said dejectedly.
"Uncle, where did you get this thing?" "Where did you come from, I know you will ask this, you don't often go to the village, don't you see a well in the middle of the village, it was a great drought in one year, our whole village came out to dig a well, especially children, we have to go to the bottom of the well to dig the soil, this is not my turn, I dug such a thing, at that time I said okay, no matter who digs something underneath, but this thing belongs to the person who dug it out, I just got such a thing, and no one below gets anything, It was this well that survived the drought in those years. ”
Uncle explained this matter all the way, and came to his home, at this time there was no one living in his house for a long time, and the aunt and Niuzi had already arrived at Yang Heng's house, even after the uncle came back, he did not come back to live, but lived in the west room of Yang Heng's house, and soon, this house will also be given to the uncle's parents, or brothers.
"Look, nephew, this is it." As he spoke, the uncle took out a square from the bed at home, this is a twenty-centimeter square thing, if it is a meteorite, this thing is too light, you must know that Yang Heng has two sledgehammers made of meteorites in his hands, which is a meteorite that is nearly ten times denser than ordinary iron, and this thing, which is light and fluttering in the hand, is not even as heavy as a stone of the same volume.
Suddenly, Yang Heng's eyes lit up, and he saw some words on this stone, could it be ......, "Uncle, this may be such a useless thing, or a very light meteorite, what do you say?" "Yang Heng didn't want his uncle to suspect that he could know what kind of mysterious thing this was, besides, Yang Heng had only seen the text on it, and he was really not sure what it was." Okay, nephew, this is for you, no matter what you research, I don't care, I have been poor in my hands for more than ten years, but after you came, our life is better, even the treasure I don't want, which means that this treasure has nothing to do with me. ”
This may be some kind of treasure, but Yang Heng doesn't want to study it temporarily, because once he knows what the Dao is, if it is a treasure, if it leaks, they can't keep it at this time, so it is better to put it first, so Yang Heng took it casually, and caught the quarry, and only took it home at night and threw it in the room where he lived.
