Although Stone has always said that Ironstone Village is not far from the mine, even in the memory fragment of Black Egg.

After walking through it in person, Meng Chen realized that what they said was not far away, but only "merely" twenty kilometers.

After more than an hour of climbing mountains and mountains, Meng Chen followed everyone with a tired face and successfully came to the entrance of Tieshi Village.

When everyone gathered, Uncle Liu said in a loud voice: "Ah Liang, you take twelve people to search for Chen Fu's family." Ah Huang, you take twelve people to search the northwest corner. The rest of you, watch the wind around with me. Half an hour later, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village. Do you understand? Uncle Liu said loudly.

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison.

The village of Iron Stone, located in a valley between two large mountains, should cover an area of no more than one square kilometer.

In order to protect against the attacks of wild beasts and fierce beasts, the entire village was surrounded by a heavy earth and stone parapet ten meters high.

At this time, there were many damages to the earth-stone retaining wall, and a section of the parapet wall more than 20 meters long even collapsed as a whole.

It's hard to imagine what a powerful beast can do such damage!

After entering Tieshi Village, all you can see is a dilapidated scene.

A large number of destroyed houses, abandoned items everywhere, and patches of dark red blood stains made Meng Chen can't help but recall the tragedy of that night.

The architectural style of Tieshi Village is very similar to that of ancient China.

Through Hei Dan's memory, Meng Chen naturally learned the human language of this world, and at the same time, he could also recognize a small number of square characters similar to ancient seals.

Thinking of this, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "This is a different world, and I don't know how many thousands of light years away from the earth, and it may not even be in the same universe." Why are there so many similarities between the architectural style, language, and cultural customs of this world and those of ancient China? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Chen, who couldn't figure it out, could only shake his head and bury this question in his heart.

Meng Chen and Shi were assigned to the team led by Ah Huang, and after the group of thirteen people entered the village, they walked directly towards the northwest corner of the village.

During this period, Meng Chen asked softly to the stone: "Aren't they themselves the best aware of where the grain of each family is hidden?" Why do we need to search? ”

The stone replied softly, "Those who are willing to speak have already been emptied." The rest ...... Either there is no one at home, or they are unwilling to take the initiative to speak out. ”

Not long after, the group came to the northwest corner of the village, and Ah Huang said in a loud voice: "There are more than 50 households in this area, everyone will divide one point, and each person will search four households." Hurry up and get to work! ”

"Okay, Brother Huang!"

Meng Chen's first search target was a house near the side of the road.

The house is an all-timber structure with upper and lower floors, with various metalwork on the lower floor and a living bedroom on the upper floor.

After searching the upper and lower floors, Meng Chen only found a small bag of grain, with a total weight of about 20 kilograms.

Grain from another world is very similar to wheat on Earth, except that it is several times larger in particle size.

After searching the house, Meng Chen came to the backyard.

I saw that the backyard of two or three hundred square meters was full of all kinds of iron-striking tools and raw materials, such as anvils, hammers, tongs, grinding wheels, large stoves, iron ingots, and so on.

"It looks no different from the ancient blacksmith shop in Huaguo." Meng Chen muttered.

At this moment, Meng Chen's heart moved, he came to a pile of iron ingots, stretched out his hand and pressed on the surface of the iron ingots and began to rub them...... Use Gathering!

Meng Chen's palm only rubbed back and forth ten times, and the progress bar in his mind had already reached 100%.

At this time, a message popped up in the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "Silver Coin -2, Metal (Gray) +2!" ”

After seeing this information, Meng Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart: "The consumption of recovering iron ingots is indeed much less than collecting ore!" ”

Then, Meng Chen looked at the large number of metal products stacked in the backyard with bright eyes.

Five minutes later, Meng Chen swept away all the metal items, and finally obtained 8 units of metal (gray), which consumed 8 silver coins.

Note: 1 Gold Coin = 10 Silver Coins, 1 Silver Coin = 100 Copper Coins.

"Perhaps...... Not only metals can be recycled, but also wood, grain, stone, etc., should be recycled! ”

Thinking of this, Meng Chen felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and quickly walked into another house and began to verify the guess in his heart.

After comparison, Meng Chen found:

Recycle metal products, consuming 1 silver coin per unit;

Recycling wood products, costing 50 copper coins per unit;

Recycling slate costs 5 silver coins per unit;

As for the recovery of grain, it only costs 1 copper coin per unit.

However, there is only 1 kilogram of grain per unit, so the consumption of recycled grain is the largest.

Meng Chen, who was indulging in the fun of masturbation, only took forty minutes to wipe out all the items that could be recovered in the two houses!

If it weren't for restraint, for fear of being discovered by others, Meng Chen really wanted to remove the wooden exterior walls and beams and columns of the house.

Just as Meng Chen was about to enter the fourth house, the stone shouted to Meng Chen not far away: "Meng Chen, half an hour has arrived, we should go and gather!" ”

"Oh! Here it is! Meng Chen could only walk in the direction of the stone with regret.

Seeing the four bags of grain on the stone on his shoulder, Meng Chen sighed secretly: "So much grain, if I can get rid of it, it would be great!" ”

Seeing that Meng Chen was only carrying a small bag, Shi said kindly: "Meng Chen, the first time I went out with the search team, it was already very good to be able to find food. I found four sacks of grain, and this bag is for you, and when the time comes, I will say that you found it. ”

After speaking, Shi stuffed the bag of grain he was carrying on his shoulder into Meng Chen's arms.

Holding this heavy bag of grain, Meng Chen muttered in his heart: "This bag of grain is so heavy, it should be 50 kilograms!" ”

Meng Chen could only accept his fate, and said with a bitter face: "Thank you!" ”

It's impossible to secretly get rid of this bag of grain in front of the stones, right?

After Meng Chen and Shi converged with Ah Huang and the others, they walked towards the meeting point at the entrance of the village together.

Seeing that everyone was fully loaded, Uncle Liu nodded and said, "Very good!" Today's harvest was good! It was getting late, so we hurried back to the mine. ”

On the way back to the mine, there were no accidents.

It's just that the stone carries 150 kilograms of grain on its shoulder, and after crossing the mountains and mountains for 20 kilometers, it can still walk like a fly.

And Meng Chen only carried 60 kilograms of grain, but he was so tired that he was out of breath.

Obviously, Meng Chen's physical fitness is still far from that of the stone.

After entering the mine, the old village chief smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard! ”

Subsequently, the old village chief asked Uncle Liu, "How is today's harvest?" ”

Uncle Liu replied: "Today's luck is good, it should add up to thirty stones, enough to support another seven or eight days!" ”

"Great!" The old village chief said with a happy face.

Note: 1 stone = 100 kg.
