Chapter Forty-Seven: Treasure Hunting in the Mountains

Li Jingshan lowered her head, her face hidden in the shadow of the light. Ruan Mingyu couldn't see her expression clearly, and only waited quietly for her response.

It wasn't until two streets crossed that Ruan Mingyu thought she was already timid, that she heard Li Jingshan respond softly: "Yes, the slave understands." Young master, please rest assured, the slave and maid will not be kicked out of the workshop! ”

Her voice was not loud, but Ruan Mingyu heard a categorical taste. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his eyes softened as he looked at her.

------

In the blink of an eye, it is the wax moon. Li Jingjue got off school from the study hall and brought back a big news.

Li Jingcong said that his sister was about to get married. The auspicious time is set on the twentieth day of the lunar month. Li Jingjue was so angry that her little face puffed up, "The groom is the Ma Gongzi who quit the marriage!" ”

Li Jingshan looked up from the pile of drawings and sighed calmly.

She was not surprised by the news. If Ma Jirong refuses to marry Li Jingyao, it will be bad. Although she and Li Jingyao are already incompatible, they have not hated her to the point of ruining her reputation. Now it is Li Jingyao's best destination.

She only hopes that after Li Jingyao marries into the Ma family, she will be at ease and keep her family, and she will not come to trouble her with nothing else, and she will be Amitabha.

Li Jingjue was worried that her sister was not happy, so she was tired of being by her side and comforted her carefully: "Sister, don't be sad. Mr. Today's evaluation, I got the first class again! Sir said that I will definitely recommend me to go for the college exam next year! When I enter the imperial examination, I will help you find a good man! ”

Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You went to the imperial examination just to find me a good mother-in-law!" Okay, okay, I'm not upset. In the future, you can just ignore the things in the main house. ”

"I ignore them now." Li Jingjue raised her head and snorted, "They only recruit cats and dogs to play with crickets, a group of gentlemen!" ”

As if remembering something, he said: "Last time you asked me to ask Brother Li Zhang when he was free, he asked me to tell you that you can go over to look for him in the next two days." After a few days of snowing, it will be difficult to enter the mountains. ”

Since Li Zhang knew that Li Jingshan wanted those "tears of the mountain god" to make jewelry, every time he went into the mountains to hunt, he would help her pick up some and bring them back. Now Li Jingshan plans to decorate her head with a lot of crystals, and the ones he sent before are not enough.

Moreover, so far, Li Jingshan has not been able to personally inspect the crystal mine, as a professional geominer, this is an intolerable thing! Therefore, she has been looking for an opportunity for Li Zhang to take her to see the crystal vein in person.

Now that she heard what Li Jingjue said, she hurriedly said goodbye to Fu Bo, and went out to find Li Zhang.

Not long after she went out, Ruan Shu came to the backyard to pass the word, "The young master asked Miss Li to accompany her out to socialize tonight, and let her dress up a little." "I also left a slip on the dress.

Li Jingjue shook off the dress and looked at it, wondering what the young master wanted her sister to socialize, she had to wear such a ...... Fancy clothes.

Li Jingshan went straight to Li Zhang's house to look for him. It was Li Zhang's little sister who came out to answer the door, who turned fourteen this year, and looked at Li Jingshan and smiled: "Miss Li hasn't come to look for my brother for a long time." In the future, we will all be a family, and we must move around often. ”

Li Jingshan listened to the "family" and felt that something was wrong, but she thought that they were all people of the same race, so she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't call it Miss." I'm not anymore, and I feel bad when I hear it. If you don't dislike it, just call me sister. ”

Li Xiaomei was also clever, and pulled Li Jingshan inside, "Sister Shan is rare to come, come in and sit inside." ”

Li Jingshan originally came to find Li Zhang to enter the mountain, and was about to excuse herself, but Li Zhang had already come out. He said to his sister, "Eventful. Mother told you to come in quickly. ”

Li Xiaomei grimaced at her brother, and smiled sweetly at Li Jingshan: "Sister Shan remembers to come often, let's be closer and closer." ”

Li Jingshan responded with a smile.

Li Zhang glared at his sister and said to Li Jingshan, "Little sister is not sensible, don't take it to heart." ”

The family is also polite! Li Jingshan thought and said with a smile, "Don't say that." The Li family's sister is lively and cute, and she is a likable character. ”

Li Zhang seemed to be very happy when he heard this, lowered his head and crushed the small stones on the road with his toes, and said for a while: "You want to go to see those colored stones, and I will take you there." He slung the rope and pickaxe on his shoulders and led her into the mountains.

In winter, the grass and trees on the mountain are sparse, and in Li Jingshan's eyes, it is lackluster. Li Zhang stopped from time to time, carefully examined and laid a trap or two traps or traps.

Seeing Li Jingshan squatting to the side with interest, Li Zhang explained to her gently: "In winter, the grass and trees are depressed, and it is impossible to set up large animal traps before snowfall, so you can only catch some hares, grass rats and the like. When it snows and catches a big boar or something, I'll send you some. ”

"Ah, no need!" Li Jingshan smiled, "You help me so much, how can it be a little sister, I respect you, where can I always loot your things." ”

In fact, she was thinking that there were many people in Li Zhang's family, and even if she hit a big prey, she was afraid that it would not be enough, so where would she give it away.

Li Zhang pursed his lips and did not speak. But Li Jingshan knew from his look that he didn't listen to his words at all.

She sighed helplessly and changed the subject, "Did you catch the fox fur you gave me last time?" ”

The fox skin was extremely well preserved, and there was no trace of repair on the whole body, and it was clear at a glance that the fox had been hunted to death.

"It's not. The fox is cunning and does not fall for the trap at all. Can only be shot. ”

Li Jingshan was taken aback, "Huh? But I saw that there was not a single scar on the fur. How did you do that? ”

Li Zhang looked at her curious and adoring eyes, and a little smile appeared on Mu Ne's face: "In the season when the snow covers the mountain, the advanced mountain explores the path of the animal according to the traces left by the snow. Then find a place nearby to ambush. When you wait for the beast, look for an opportunity to shoot it. If you want to keep the fur intact, it's best to shoot it in the eyes. ”

"Eyes! Brother Li Zhang, you are too powerful! Li Jingshan felt that her eyes were already full of red hearts. Coming from modern times, she has long had the opportunity to see the exquisite skills of real hunters, and now she only thinks that Li Zhang has a unique skill, which is even more powerful than the shooting champion in the Olympic Games.

Li Zhang was quite uncomfortable with her blazing gaze, lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, his cheeks visibly reddened.

Unconsciously, more than an hour had passed, and Li Zhang pointed ahead: "It's here." ”

In front of him was a sparsely planted mountain, with a slender hole halfway up the mountain, black and swarthy like a scar on his body.

Li Jingshan carefully inspected the surrounding sand, gravel and trees, and knocked down some rock samples with the sharp-beaked pickaxe brought by Li Zhang. Sure enough, it's a crystal mine. Li Jingshan excitedly walked around to check, and found that there were a variety of colored spars mixed in this vein, purple, yellow, pink, and white, and the transparency was high, and the quality was very good!

Li Zhang was excited and happy to see Li Jingshan. He pointed to the cave above and said, "There is also a black stone in the cave, which is said to have been condensed by the blood of the 'mountain god'. ”

"I want to go up and see it! How can I get up? ”

Looking at Li Jingshan's smiling face with great interest, Li Zhang pursed his lips, took the sharp-beaked pickaxe and tied it with a long rope, and threw it towards the entrance of the cave.

The sharp-beaked pickaxe was stuck in the crack of the rock, and the long rope hung down, and Li Zhang grabbed the rope and kicked the stone wall three or two times to climb the entrance of the cave more than 20 zhang high.

He said loudly from above: "There is only this way, you can't get up." Shall I knock down some stones and bring them to you? ”

Li Jingshan looked at the steep cliff of nearly 90 degrees, estimated how many points she had left when she did the field surgery examination, and resolutely grabbed the rope!

Fortunately, the skills have not degraded a lot. She finally used her hands and feet at the same time, panting and crawling close to the entrance of the cave, Li Zhang reached out on the top and pulled her up, looking at her eyes with more appreciation: a boudoir woman can also climb the cliff, it is simply impressive!

Li Jingshan couldn't wait to look at those hedrons and found that they were obsidian!

Obsidian is pure black throughout, is a naturally formed glass, has a cat's eye like light in the light, and is the upstart of gemstones in modern times.

Li Jingshan was so excited about the harvest of this trip that she knocked down a lot of all kinds of spars and filled them with cloth bags. Until Li Zhang said: "I have to walk a long way to go back, there are too many to bring." If you like it, I will often go into the mountains to pick it for you. ”

Li Jingshan looked at the full cloth bag, and also felt like a money-greedy miser, so she stopped in embarrassment, and taught Li Zhang some skills to find high-quality ores, until the sun sank, and then walked back with those spars.

After the sun goes down, the mountain breeze rises and the temperature is lower. Li Zhang took off his cloak and handed it to Li Jingshan, Li Jingshan was about to excuse herself, Li Zhang said simply: "The mountains are cold, I am used to going into the mountains often, you are a woman is more susceptible to cold." ”

After that, he stuffed the cloak into her arms, picked up the cloth bag, took two steps forward, and then turned back and said, "It's getting dark, follow my footsteps, you can go faster." ”

Li Jingshan looked at the sinking sky, and hurriedly walked two steps behind Li Zhang.

She looked at the person in front of her who was a whole head taller than her, with broad shoulders and a strong waist, and the thin cotton jacket couldn't stop the youthful strength under the clothes from gushing out, with a wordless sense of oppression, as if he was already a man standing up to the sky!

She suddenly realized that Li Zhang had either walked side by side with her or followed her silently before. She had never seen him like this before. At this time, I found out that according to ancient standards, Li Zhang, who had reached the age of nineteen, had also reached the age of establishing a household, and it was time to say goodbye!

Since Li Jingshan showed each other that she had a clear conscience with Li Zhang, she never thought about their relationship in terms of the relationship between men and women, but always treated him as a big brother.

There were dead branches stretching out obliquely in front of him to block the way, and Li Zhang stopped and helped Li Jingshan remove the branches.

Li Jingshan looked at Li Zhang's silence, but he would take care of people in detail, and couldn't help but smile with emotion: "Brother Li Zhang is so good at taking care of people, I don't know who will be blessed to be your lady in the future, she must be a very happy woman." ”

Li Zhang's hand holding the branch moved slightly, looked at her in surprise, and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
