Now the sky is bright, and you can clearly see the appearance of the whole mountain, which is a scrawny stone mountain, but it is a miscellaneous stone of no use, that is, it cannot be mined from large stones, and there is no limestone mine, so it has no value in existence.

Moreover, there is no water source on the mountain, and the only green plants are weeds, because the rocks are overgrown and cannot accommodate the trees, and even the weeds are thin and thin, and they do not look nutritious.

- It's great to exchange it out as rags.

Pei Qing walked around the top of the mountain, and the more he looked at the mountain, the more satisfied he became.

Half an hour later, she said to Li Yi: "It's good, that's it." ”

Then she ordered him to retreat until he reached the foot of another mountain, leaving only herself on the stone mountain.

According to the trading rules of the Wanjie trading system, the traded items can only belong to Pei Qing's current possession, and because it is exchanged on the spot, the exchanged things are directly placed at the foothold, so she needs to work tirelessly to find the foothold in person.

"Redeem." She commanded the system, and then waited silently.

System: [The host sacrificed all the merit points and exchanged them for a limestone mine with a reserve of 1 million tons, and the general equivalent is a barren mountain owned by the host. 】

System: [Start Redemption.] 】

Immediately after, the earthy yellow light extended from Pei Qing's feet and covered the entire stone mountain, as if the mountain was wrapped in an earthy yellow package.

When the light faded, the rocky ground beneath her feet was replaced by pure white limestone, a small mountain of white stone that shone like a piece of jade in the surrounding green mountains.

Li Yi felt that he was just blinking, and the once familiar stone mountain was replaced by a white jade mountain, and his movements were so light and silent, as if there was already this mountain here.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.

"Such a weightless immortal technique!" After sighing, he quickly rushed to the top of the mountain to pick up Pei Qing.

"Okay, the task is complete," out of nothing he got a limestone mine with huge reserves, Pei Qing's mood was so good, and he was full of pride in scolding Fang Xuan for a while.

With limestone, agriculture, construction, glass, steel, salt...... There are so many things that can be applied.

There is no limestone, the construction of the feudal town is tied, it is too expensive to buy outside, and there are no soldiers and horses to rob others, and all kinds of restrictions have caused her to be unable to let go of her hands and feet to promote the infrastructure.

Now, since she can exchange merit points for minerals, will she only need to work hard to earn merit in the future to have copper, iron, gold, and silver mines?

Li Yi stood quietly beside his princess for a moment, and found that she was smiling like a little fox who had just caught a chicken.

Surprised and curious, he asked, "So happy?" ”

Pei Qing crossed his waist with one hand and slowly pointed to the reckless mountains with the other, and said in a crisp and powerful voice: "Happy!" Look at the mountain, which was later an iron mine, that mountain, which was a gold mine, and that mountain, which was a silver mine, and from now on I am also a man with a mine at home! ”

Li Yi stood quietly with her for a long time, silently looking at her excited little appearance, as if she also had a mine.

After being happy for a while, Pei Qing decisively decided to return and look for someone to mine limestone when he went back.

She took the lead and walked down the mountain, and Li Yi looked at her back and stopped talking.

Pei Qing walked a few steps and then turned around and asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Li Yi hesitated: "Is it faster for me to carry you on my back?" ”

Pei Qing's face was slightly red, and he quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I like to climb mountains, I can, I'm fine!" ”

As a result, they had not yet made it out of the mountains when it was almost dark, and her legs were like lead, and she could no longer walk.

Li Yi, who was opening the road in front, heard that there was no movement behind him, and hurriedly turned around to find that Pei Qing had actually sat on the ground.

Seeing him look over, she smiled bitterly and said, "I really envy you people who practice martial arts, you don't sleep for a day and a night, and you still walk so easily." ”

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and proposed again: "I'll carry you?" ”

Pei Qing shook his head sluggishly and sighed: "The donkey of the production team can't do this-find a place to rest for the night." ”

As soon as it was dark, the sound of night owls and wolf howls came one after another, and the shadows of the surrounding trees were gloomy, coupled with the lack of people, which made people feel very bottomless.

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Actually, there is a small wooden house about half a mile further on. ”

It was built by them in the past to make it easier for them to go into the mountains to hunt.

"Cabin?" Pei Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Yi replied in a low voice: "Yes, it is a hunter's hut, there should be a fire pit and firewood and grass in the house, and we can rest there for a night." ”

When Pei Qing heard this, he struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed the arm he handed over, and commanded: "Go!" ”

With this hopeful energy, they walked to a small wooden house, and by this time it was already completely dark, and green eyes appeared in the grass.

Li Yi turned on the fire fold and went into the house for a turn, and after making sure that there was no danger inside, he beckoned Pei Qing into the house.

Before closing the door, Pei Qing saw a four-legged shadow flash in the grass.

Boom!

She slammed the door shut, stood behind it, slowed her heartbeat, and after a moment turned back to look inside.

At this time, Li Yi had already lit the fire in the fire pit, and the firelight illuminated the face towel on his face, which also made people see the structure of the room clearly.

This is a very, very small house, only a single room without windows, and the only vent on the top, Pei Qing guessed that it was the house built here by the people who lived by hunting in the county when they went into the mountains together, so it was built so compact and simple.

There was no furniture in the room, so I had to sit on the floor, but fortunately there was no dust on the floor, and I don't know if it had just been cleaned.

By the light of the fire, Pei Qing opened the burden and distributed the food to Li Yi.

Li Yi wiped his hands, and suddenly took out a small paper bag from his arms and handed it to her.

"What is it?" Pei Qing took it quickly, and immediately smelled a faint fragrance.

Li Yi replied leisurely: "Licorice rabbit meat." ”

It turned out that the paper bag was rabbit jerky, which looked a little dusty, but it tasted good in the mouth.

Pei Qing tasted the taste of licorice and ginseng, the rabbit meat was flexible and chewy, and it tasted full of relish, which was better than fresh meat.

"You did it yourself?" She asked in surprise.

Li Yi replied with a faint smile: "Yes." ”

Seeing that she didn't eat one after eating one, he said to her calmly: "I made it for you, eat it all." ”

Pei Qing's hand holding the rabbit jerky stiffened, but his heartbeat became louder and louder.

She was speechless, so she had to bow her head and eat silently.

What is it like to be noticed that you like to snack and even bring snacks for yourself when you travel?

It's strange, obviously the licorice content in the rabbit jerky is not high, why do people who eat it have a sweet mouth, and the sweetness goes all the way into their hearts?

Eating the rabbit jerky made by others, she finally urged in hindsight: "I'm not tired now, I'll keep vigil, you can sleep for a while." ”

Li Yi looked at her silently and stopped adding firewood to the fire.

is obviously a delicate and weak little woman, but she is so rich in the spirit of partner, she could have enjoyed his care with peace of mind, but who knew that she would take care of him in turn?

The firelight reflected in Li Yi's beautiful eyes like a falcon, filling his eyes with deep emotions.

"I'm not tired," he said softly, "you go to bed first." ”

Pei Qing, who was politely refused, planned to take a roundabout route, she held up a rabbit jerky, and said while admiring it: "This is the best meat I have ever eaten in Xixian County, this taste is really nothing to say!" What do you think? ”

She was going to let him relax first, and when he was sleepy, it was logical for him to lie down and sleep first, and then she could keep a vigil herself—the best way to relax, isn't it just to chat?

"Me?" A trace of confusion flashed in Li Yi's eyes, and after a while, he replied in a low voice, "I have ever eaten the best meat...... It's rat meat. ”

Pei Qing: !!

Her peach eyes widened, she didn't even shake her eyelashes, and repeated in disbelief: "Mouse, meat?!" ”

At this moment, she remembered the news of rat meat kebabs she had seen a few years ago, and suddenly felt bitter in her mouth.

Could it be that Li Yi also met a black-hearted merchant and was forced to eat rat meat that was better than real mutton?

Li Yi looked at her expression and said in a bland tone of "it's all over": "When I was a child, I starved every day until I learned to catch mice - when I didn't have anything to eat, I roasted mice to eat, and no one grabbed rat meat from me." ”

The feeling of suffocation hit Pei Qing, she never expected that the actual situation would be like this.

Seeing her fall silent, Li Yi said lightly: "At first, I couldn't catch a mouse, but then I ran faster than a cat and caught it." ”

Pei Qing saw a picture of Zhengtai and the cat fighting for food, and he couldn't help but shudder.

After a long time, she asked with difficulty: "You, eat...... How old are you when you are meat? ”

Li Yi lowered his head to take care of the fire and replied casually: "Four years old." ”

Pei Qing gasped fiercely.

What was she doing when she was 4 years old? Pretending to be sick in order not to go to kindergarten, getting up in the middle of the night in order to steal ice cream cakes, and selling cute everywhere in order to buy a dozen dolls!

Compared with him, Li Yi's childhood was too miserable.

Why is he so miserable? Is it the death of both parents? Is it displacement? Or was it a natural disaster?

Almost before her brain could react, she shoved the little rabbit jerky she had left into his hand, and said in a weak tone, "No wonder you're so thin, you should eat more meat." ”

Li Yi slowly sat up straight, accepted the paper bag, lifted a little face towel slightly, and quietly put the last rabbit jerky in his mouth.

"Thank you." After eating, he solemnly thanked him, and his gentlemanly demeanor was fully revealed.

Pei Qing was sad and funny: "What do you want to thank?" Obviously you gave it to me. ”

I only heard Li Yi answer softly: "Then should I say: Thank you for your reward?" ”

Now Pei Qing really smiled.

Then they each ate a piece of puff pastry, drank water, and neither of them slept, but sat side by side in front of the fire and chatted.

"Can you tell us a little bit more about your childhood?" Pei Qing relied on the other party's good attitude, kicked his nose and began to probe into other people's privacy.

Li Yi glanced sideways at her.

Pei Qing said softly: "That's it, if you say something about when you were a child, then I'll also say something about when I was a child, how about it?" ”

The dry wood beeped in the fire, and after a while, Li Yicai said in a difficult tone: "I'm afraid things when I was a child are not good. ”

He thought she wanted to hear a bedtime story?

The corners of Pei Qing's mouth raised, and he was the first to speak: "I liked to climb mountains when I was a child, and once I stayed on the mountain until dark, and everyone in the family went out to find me and came back to scold me. ”

Li Yi glanced at her with soothing eyes, as if he said, "I can't see that you are such a bear child", but he didn't smile.

"You want to know about me?" He asked in a low voice, his tone was not so confident, revealing a hint of apprehension and hesitation.

Pei Qing reacted quickly and said: "Chatting, being idle is also idle." ”

Li Yi's face towel moved slightly, lowered his head and fiddled with the fire, and did not speak for a while.

Pei Qing thought that he would not speak again all night, and after sitting quietly for a while, tiredness swept over, and she quietly covered her face with her hand to cover a yawn.

At this time, the sound of stirring the fire stopped, Li Yi crossed his legs, supported his forehead with one hand, looked at the jumping flames and said lightly: "When I was a child, the strongest feeling was that I was hungry. ”

Pei Qing, who was just about to fall asleep, came to his senses.

Li Yi's eyes were fixed on the fire, but his gaze seemed to penetrate through the firelight to the distant past.

"I'm hungry when I'm awake, I'm hungry when I'm asleep, I'm hungry all the time," he said leisurely, "and I've never had enough to eat a day." ”

Pei Qing took a breath and wanted to ask about his parents, but he didn't dare.

In the fire-soaked cabin, the shadows of two men stretched to the wall behind them, and one of them suddenly and cautiously moved a little, only a little, in the direction of the other.

"I eat flowers, peony flowers, I also eat fruits, and I can eat the fruit that falls under the tree if it is rotten, but I drink clear spring water," Li Yi seemed to smile and stretched his two long legs.

It was very quiet in the cabin.

I only heard him continue: "Someone noticed me and instructed me to catch mice and roast them, and after I ate mice for a few years, he officially recognized me as a righteous son, maybe he really couldn't stand it - this is my father-in-law, and the martial arts on my body are what he taught." ”

Pei Qing's heart was mixed, and there seemed to be a ball of cotton stuffed in his chest, which was soft but couldn't be sorted out.

At this time, Li Yi said succinctly: "This is when I was a child, it doesn't mean anything at all, my family doesn't want me, so no matter how long I disappear, no one will blame me." ”

Pei Qing took a breath, it turned out that he was abandoned! It's hard to believe that there would be parents who would give up such a good child!

Li Yi put away his long legs and said with a cheering spirit: "It's all over, I'm doing well now, the prince took me in to work, and now I have met you, the princess—"

His words disappeared in his throat, and through the face toshcloth, he was kissed.
