Zheng Haizhu asked everyone to throw sticks, put four pieces of magnetite in a cloth bag, and handed them to Li Daniu to carry.

The four of them walked along the mountain for a short time when they heard the voice of someone in the valley pit not far in front of them.

"It seems like there are three or four people, so it's okay." Wu Bangde said.

Leaning closer, I gradually heard it clearly, and the people inside were discussing with excitement: "Zhang Jing should reward us with such coal. Maitreya Ancestor has appeared."

Suddenly, a person crawled out of the pit, his eyes and nose collapsed, and when he saw Zheng Haizhu and others at first glance, he was startled: "Where did you come from!"

Wu Bangde said unhurriedly, "Oh, we are here to visit Yasheng's hometown, and we have disturbed the villagers."

The man said, "Who?"

Two companions in the pit also climbed up at this time, and a thin man laughed at the tip of his eyes: "People are talking about Mencius."

Hanging eyes rolled his eyes: "Lao Tzu has never read, unlike the sons of these rich families. It's good if I have something to eat."

But after all, he also saw clearly that Wu Bangde and Zheng Haizhu were not like poor families, and there were two people who looked like maids and maids behind them, so they didn't dare to show their fierce appearance too much, so they only said angrily: "This is King Lu's Chai Mountain, you can't come in." There is no Mencius's house here, so go quickly."

Wu Bangde arched his hand: "It turned out that we made a mistake, then let's go forward and go down the mountain."

At this time, the three men all showed signs of obstruction, and the thin man among them was kinder, and said gently: "Son, we are patrolling the mountains for the Lu Mansion, and we must follow the rules of the mansion. Since you have met it, you will not be able to go around the mountains, so go back and go down the river to the charcoal kiln, and you can hire a cart."

Zheng Haizhu pretended to be curious: "Fellow, is there no avenue to go down the mountain ahead?"

Hanging eyes said impatiently, "No, you go back to the other side of the river."

Wu Bangde showed a calm look, and persuaded Zheng Haizhu: "Listen to the villagers, let's go."

……

The four of them left a distance and returned to the shale near the edge of the woods, Zheng Haizhu looked back and saw that the three mountain rangers had not followed, and said to Wu Bangde: "The pit is probably the small coal cave explored by the Boshan people, and the people called Lu Wangfu found it today."

Mu Zaohua on the side frowned and said, "I don't know if those people were hired by the Lu Wangfu to patrol the mountain, but they seem to be also taught by smelling incense. Just now when they said Zhangjing Zhangjing, I suspect that it is the word "Zhangjing", because they also mentioned Maitreya Ancestor, which is also a bluff by smelling incense."

"Palm Sutra? What is the Nine Lotus Sutra?" Zheng Haizhu asked.

When she visited Zhu Yipai and his wife, she also asked the Wenxiang Sect with a moderate amount of righteous indignation, and Zhu Yipai said that when the sect was in trouble, it relied on the "Nine Lotus Sutra".

Mu Zaohua said, "It should be the one. When I was dragged into the church by my fellow villagers last year, the villagers said that Xu Tianshi asked fellow villagers and villages to form a meeting, and each of them would have a head of the association, a head to pass on, and a sutra."

Wu Bangde muttered, "I didn't expect this Smelling Fragrance Sect to sit so fast. I thought it was just Hebei, Tianjin and Lubei. In the past few days, we have met three times in a row with the Scenting Cultists."

Zheng Haizhu said: "The left and right are to make friends with His Royal Highness and frankly talk about the plan to open a coal mine. It's still early today, so let's go to the Yasukuni General's Mansion again, just to talk about today's suspicious mountain patrolman. If they are actually nothing unusual, we will not harm them, but let the Lu Wangfu know that they are guarding the mountain well and are very conscientious."

The four of them quickened their pace.

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw a mule parked at the pass, and on both sides of the back of the ridge were bulging sacks.

A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was beating the only mule with a cart with wooden wheels, and he scolded the animal for dragging the cart out of the mud pond.

Wu Bangde said to Li Daniu, "Let's go, go and help this kid."

Li Daniu handed the burden he was carrying to Zheng Haizhu, followed in response, and Mu Zaohua also went over to help.

Zheng Haizhu walked over to the mules who had seized the time to nibble on the last bit of grass on the ground, trying to see what was in the sacks.

Suddenly, the burden in his hand seemed to be pulled by a sharp pull and leaned towards the bottom of the sack

。

Zheng Haizhu subconsciously covered her burden and stared at the sack suspiciously.

The filthy sack was craggy with its contents, and the surface of the burlap was sawdust and black ash.

And the conversation between Wu Bangde and the boy came at the same time.

"Little brother, are you a charcoal worker?"

"It's Brother Li, my uncle and father burn charcoal for the palace, and my uncle and I will transport it to the palace."

"Your family?"

"No, no, ten kilns are in wheels, and today is my family."

Zheng Haizhu listened to it and said in his heart, is charcoal in the sack?

Saying that coal is magnetic is enough to challenge her physical knowledge, charcoal can be absorbed by the magnetite in her baggage, then she will never believe it.

There should be metal in the sack.

Zheng Haizhu turned his body sideways, blocked the sack, stretched out his hand back, and checked it very carefully.

The sack is very heavy, and as a rule of thumb, if it were this small amount of charcoal, it would not be this amount.

Zheng Haizhu secretly took out a piece of magnetic ore and tried to swim at the bottom of the sack.

As soon as I pasted it, I sucked it, but after all, through the linen cloth, the magnet rough is not so pure, so the suction of a single piece of magnetic ore is not so strong.

Zheng Haizhu controlled the strength of her wrist and tried to come up with a somewhat surprising result.

The metal inside is considerably long, estimated to be two feet long.

Zheng Haizhu changed to a mule and continued to quietly test with magnetite.

The same metal, the same length.

Iron bars? Iron spear head? Swords?

Just as her mind was racing, she heard the young man shouting happily and waving not far away: "Second uncle!"

When the two sides looked at each other, they were stunned for a moment.

The one who was called the second uncle by the young man was the hanging eye on Fang Cai Mountain.

As soon as the look of alarm rekindled on his face, the big mule cart had already come out of the mud pit with the concerted efforts of several people.

The young man bowed vigorously to Wu Bond and thanked him a few times.

Wu Bangde turned around, saw the hanging eyes, and smiled with a smile: "It turns out that this child belongs to your family."

The hanging eyes mumbled, but his eyes turned to the mule group here of Zheng Haizhu.

Zheng Haizhu also smiled and praised: "The male doll of the fellow family is very capable, and he can fight such a big battle at a young age."

The corners of his mouth twitched: "Grandma Xie praises."

He withdrew his gaze, but glared at his nephew firmly.

The young man's face froze, and he suddenly stammered, "Why, are you here with a car?"

Zheng Haizhu said in a harmonious voice: "Aren't you going to King Lu's mansion, or use your mule cart to take us back to Yanzhou City and give you the fare." I'm also tired, and I don't want to go to see any Mengfu."

When she said the last sentence, she looked at Wu Bond.

Wu Bangde understood, reached into his arms and took out the money bag, and responded, "Okay, I'll pay the fare."

"I can't help it, I can't help it," the tips of his eyes squeezed out an ugly smile, but his tone revealed a hint of panic, "Our countrymen's charcoal carts are so dirty that they can't carry a few distinguished guests." I'll go to the front Zhuangzi and find a big cart for a few people."

Today, Zheng Haizhu hired a big car from Yanzhou City to come over, and because he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, he paid the coachman money for the return trip at that time and let the coachman leave Chai Tan Mountain.

Now, she has tried the reaction of the hanging eye, and has further speculation about the doubts in her heart, and she will not take the car called by the hanging eye.

She nodded kindly: "Yes, you still have errands on your body, so you have to be in a hurry. My grandson and I can go to the village to find a car."

Wu Bangde put on a submissive face, and arched his hand at the hanging eyes and the young man: "Fellow, there will be a period later."
