After Shu Yan finished speaking, Asura walked up to Forsythia, Forsythia looked Asura up and down, and then bent down to look at Asura's eyes deliberately.

Forsythia whispered, "He has the eyes of a beast, and I have only seen them on a man's face. ”

Shu Yan was curious about who the forsythia girl was talking about.

"Who is he?"

Forsythia smiled at Shu Yan, and then said, "I only saw the marshal talking to that person when I was very young. ”

Shu Yan seemed to have some pictures in his mind, but he couldn't remember them.

Forsythia walked up to Shu Yan, carefully glanced at Shu Yan's eyes, and then said: "Back then, old lady, you really should have died for a short time, but you are alive now." ”

Cheng San walked over at this time and directly grabbed Forsythia's arm, and said with a smile: "Bai Guichen wrapped buns today, with pork filling, which is better than oily noodles." ”

When Forsythia heard this, her eyes lit up, and she was about to eat buns with Asura, Shu Yan looked at Forsythia's back, thoughtful.

Sui Ying walked up to Shu Yan and said in her ear: "I just turned over and woke up last night, and she woke up, if we want to do something that she doesn't know, it is estimated that it will be very difficult." ”

Shu Yan looked at the bouncing forsythia, and she whispered: "Then let's make a special accident and let her do it." ”

After a few people had breakfast, Shu Yan was ready to take Cheng San and Forsythia out to chop wood.

The main thing is that this forsythia is very strong, and Shu Yan does have something to say to her alone.

It was a crisp autumn day, and they left the village and walked to the top of the mountain, where there were many more people chopping wood for the winter.

Cheng San, the kid, was holding an axe and was about to chop it down on the arm-thick bush next to him.

Shu Yan said to Cheng San: "You go to other places to cut, the trees here are too thin, the wood is not good, and the fireworks are big." ”

Cheng San glanced at Shu Yan thoughtfully, and then walked towards the depths of the forest, where only Shu Yan and Forsythia were left.

Forsythia was quite direct, she looked at Shu Yan and said, "Old lady, what do you have to say to me?" ”

Shu Yan coughed lightly, and she said to Forsythia, "Is your master okay now?" ”

Forsythia was stunned, and then said, "Master, he is very good now, old lady, what do you mean by asking?" ”

Shu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I know that you will not betray Old Man Chen, but I want to ask you to do me a favor, of course, it is also to help Old Man Chen." ”

Forsythia is simple, but he's not a stupid person.

"What do you want me to help you?"

Shu Yan coughed lightly, she patted Forsythia's shoulder, and she whispered a few words in Forsythia's ear.

Forsythia's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Shu Yan in surprise.

"I need to report to the marshal, after all, that kid has a special identity, if it is really a fake death, I am afraid it will cause more trouble."

Shu Yan smiled: "This matter is not in a hurry, I came to you today, and there are other things." ”

Forsythia was a little puzzled, and she continued to ask, "What else is going on?" ”

Shu Yan took out an ax from behind his back, handed it to Forsythia and said, "Naturally, it's chopping wood." ”

Forsythia took the axe, although he was puzzled, but he was obedient, his hand fell with a knife, and the tree fell to the ground, but after cutting for a while, Forsythia began to rub his arm.

At this time, Cheng San had already chopped a large bundle of firewood and returned to them, and this kid was still carrying a little rabbit.

Forsythia saw the rabbit in Cheng San's hand, and immediately took it curiously and hugged it in his arms, and then said, "Did you catch such a small rabbit to eat?" There's not enough meat. ”

Cheng Sanpi said with a smile: "What to eat, this is breeding, rabbits give birth to a litter in a month, and it is not bad to eat as meat." ”

Forsythia hugged the little rabbit and whispered, "But what do you feed them in winter, don't rabbits eat grass?" ”

Cheng San picked up the rabbit, thought for a moment, and threw the rabbit away.

"You're right, just throw it away, I just met other people in the village in the forest, they said that everyone is cutting firewood to sell in the city, and they used to be able to sell firewood for two pennies a load, but now they can only sell it for one penny."

At this time, occasionally a few elderly people passed by them with firewood on their backs.

Forsythia has never worried about her livelihood, and she said, "It's so cheap, so why don't people sell it?" ”

Cheng San smiled helplessly: "Naturally, there is, even if it is a bumper harvest, some people will starve to death." ”

Today's harvest is good, but the tax is long, and if we don't take advantage of the fact that there is not enough food in the winter, I am afraid that many people will starve to death.

Forsythia looked at the rich mountains and forests, the endless fields that had been harvested, and she whispered.

"Why?"

Cheng San picked up the axe that Forsythia threw on the ground and put it in Forsythia's hand, he did not answer Forsythia's question directly, but said: "You can't always use the strength of your arms to cut down trees, you have to use your waist, wood is stronger than people, and it is not the land that makes the people unable to eat, but the people on the land." ”

Shu Yan on the side couldn't help but applaud Cheng San, this kid is quite good at analogy.

Forsythia naturally understood at this moment that the mother and son didn't come here to cut wood.

Forsythia asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?" ”

When Shu Yan saw Forsythia taking the bait, he said, "After chopping firewood, you will know." ”

Forsythia chopped all morning, tired and couldn't walk, and the three of them returned home with three bundles of firewood on their backs.

After they had eaten, they went to the mountains to chop a large pile of firewood, and this time the whole family went into battle.

In total, they cut firewood for two or three days, and the firewood was piled up in a corner of the yard.

Forsythia thought that Shu Yan would cut it again, but she only let Bai Guichen and Cheng San go to the mountain, while she stayed in the yard of her home and began to dig sand on the sandy ground and get some quicklime.

Forsythia was puzzled, and she said, "Old lady, what are you going to do here?" ”

Shu Yan smiled and said, "I want to burn smokeless carbon." ”

Sui Ying on the side was stunned for a moment, she stepped forward, and saw that Shu Yan was making mud, she said: "I heard that the silver charcoal in Jiangnan can be made without a trace of smoke, but the silver charcoal is very troublesome to burn, and we should not need smokeless carbon in this leaky dilapidated house." ”

Shu Yan said with a smile: "I burn this charcoal to sell it for money, not for my own use." ”

Sui Ying was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but look at Forsythia.

Forsythia whispered, "Old lady, what do you want to do?" ”

Shu Yan still didn't answer Forsythia's question, she just concentrated on her work, after all, building a blast furnace, especially a blast furnace of two or three meters, is really a technical job, and she knew that Cheng San would stay as a coolie.

In fact, Shu Yan's idea is also very simple, if you want to recruit someone, especially a person as simple as Forsythia, you should give her a pure ideal.

And she can't help but recognize this ideal.
