Chapter 20: The Iron Ore Controversy
Aunt Li walked into the house and saw the food on the dining table, knowing that they were preparing to eat, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after all, stepping on the meal to someone else's house will always give people the feeling of "this person is here to eat".
With a somewhat embarrassed laugh, Aunt Li put down the basket in her hand and said, "Tie Niu, my family dug up two pieces of blue crystal in the mine this month, and I brought one for you." I also brought you some medicinal herbs, which were also picked by my family near the mine. ”
As she spoke, she lifted the linen cloth covered by the basket, took out some dried medicinal herbs, handed them to Chen Xiuzhen, and whispered a word with her mouth up. After Chen Xiuzhen listened to her words, a blushing look quickly appeared on her face, and she looked very embarrassed.
The two children and Wang Ze, who was far away from each other, didn't hear what Aunt Li said clearly, but Tang Yun, who was hanging on the eaves, was much stronger than ordinary humans because of his cultivation, but he could hear it clearly, and what Aunt Li said was "These drugs are very effective for infertility, and if you go down with a pair of medicines, you can bring the baby to your family in the second half of the year." ”
After listening to Aunt Li's words, Tang Yun suddenly realized that he was still wondering before, this Wang Ze was not much younger than his eldest brother Wang Tao, but Wang Tao only got married when he returned from studying art, and the two babies could play soy sauce, but this Wang Ze Wang Tieniu didn't have a single doll.
Before, he thought that Wang Ze and his daughter-in-law had only been married for a long time, but now it seems that one of the two of them should have a body problem that caused him to not be able to conceive a child.
Tang Yun glanced at the two of them with a strange expression, and then put his suspicious gaze on Wang Ze, who was five big and three thick, generally speaking, the more strong and healthy people who seemed to be extremely healthy, the more likely they were to have problems that some men couldn't say.
Just when Tang Yun was maliciously speculating in his heart, a familiar aura suddenly woke him up - the breath of blue crystals!
As soon as he sensed this breath, Tang Yun felt shocked in his heart, and looked intently in the direction where the breath came from, only to see that there was a stone the size of a little finger lying in the basket that Aunt Li was carrying, and the breath of the blue crystal came from the stone. As soon as he moved, he quickly rushed to the basket and looked at the stone carefully, but soon he withdrew his gaze with some disappointment.
From the outside, this stone looks like a parallel jade product, and it does contain a small amount of blue crystals, but the number is not much, and it is mottled and impure, and there are many impurities. Judging by the amount of this impurity, if he dared to swallow this stone, the result would most likely be intestinal obstruction.
Seeing Tang Yun looking at the stone, Little Lori Ziyu said to him: "Big Black Snake, are you also interested in blue crystals? Let me tell you, this blue crystal is the treasure of our Wangjia Village, and it was dug out of the iron ore of our Wangjia Village. Do you see the blue light in the crystal? Just take out the blue stuff and grind it into powder and soak it in water to drink, and it will make us stronger. ”
Little Lori danced to Tang Yun to show off her knowledge, and explained the role of the so-called blue crystal in three clicks.
Hearing Xiao Lori say this, Tang Yun was not happy, but a little disappointed, he had smelled the breath of blue crystals from Wang Ziting's blood before, and thought that this Wangjia Village had found the origin of that kind of blue crystal, but now it seems that what they found was just a poor mine with a very small output and extremely low quality.
Although it was different from what he imagined, Tang Yun did not give up completely, thinking in his heart that he would find a chance to go to the iron ore to have a look, and maybe he could find a real blue crystal.
With things in his heart, Tang Yun didn't have the heart to listen to what Aunt Li, Wang Ze and the others said, and even when he was eating, he just ate a few quick pieces of meat absentmindedly.
Tang Yun's abnormal behavior made the two children show worried looks, and Wang Ziting even touched his head and asked Wang Ze: "Second uncle, what's wrong with the big black snake? He used to be in the best spirits when he was eating, and he was still alive when he grabbed the fat intestines just now, why did he suddenly lose his energy?"
Wang Ze, who had long felt that something was wrong, grabbed Tang Yun's neck, dragged him to his eyes, pinched his mouth open and looked at it, rolled his eyelids again, and then put the big black snake aside.
"Second uncle, how is it?" Wang Ziting looked at Wang Ze expectantly.
Wang Ze sighed, then shook his head.
His actions startled the two children, and Wang Ziting immediately said anxiously: "Second uncle, is the big black snake not working? But it was fine just now!"
Wang Ze said with a surprised face: "When did I say that the big black snake is not good?"
Wang Ziyu's eyes began to mist in her eyes, and she said with a little choked up: "Then second uncle, you sighed and shook your head, didn't you say that the big black snake was about to die?"
"Uh......" Wang Ze spread his hands and said: "I shook my head and sighed because my team's medical skills are completely ignorant, and I don't know how to heal people, if I want to heal snakes, then I won't be able to." ”
After listening to Wang Ze's words, and then looking at his smiling appearance, the two children first glanced at each other, and then suddenly they screamed alive, and suddenly pounced on him, one hanging on his neck, the other on his shoulder, and raised his small fist and hit the second uncle who was full of muscles comparable to Swarzenegger.
Looking at the fight between the three uncles and nephews, Tang Yun felt a little sour in his heart for no reason, and suddenly he thought of his parents in his previous life, he was an only child, and he left that world like this, I really don't know if the second elder will be so sad and angry.
Depressed, he simply ran out of Wang Tieniu's house, out of sight and out of mind, lest the warmth of their family evoke the memories of his past life and add to the depression in his heart in vain.
Wandering around the village with nothing to do, he saw in vain a few young and strong young men with weapons and walking in a procession towards the outside of the village.
Tang Yun took a closer look at the weapons in their hands, most of them were carrying bows and arrows on their backs, spears in their hands, and a few of them were still holding swords.
"They shouldn't be hunting, and when they hunt, they won't hold spears, which are not very convenient weapons in the jungle, and it seems that they have lost the fight. Tang Yun thought like this in his heart, and was about to turn around and walk away, ignoring them, but suddenly the words of one person caught his attention.
The person who spoke, Tang Yun, also remembered that his name was Wang Yuanzheng, and when he came to Wangjia Village on the first day, it was this guy who opened the door, a very hot-blooded boy.
At this time, I saw that Wang Yuanzheng said to the people next to him with an angry face: "The people of Luojia Village and Songjiazhai are really shameless, as they said at the beginning, every twenty years, the three villages send young people under the age of twenty-five to participate in the competition, and the winner can obtain the right to mine iron ore, but now it has only been seventeen years since the last competition, and they have begun to engage in the east and west behind their backs!"
The person next to him also said angrily: "This is all to blame on the traitor of the mountain mouse, as a person from our Wangjia Village, but he eats inside and out, not only the people who moved Skull Mountain killed the brothers of the caravan, but also exposed the biggest secret of our Wangjia Village, this person is simply damned." ”
While they were scolding, the leader of the group, a young man who looked to be only in his twenties, but who was quite tall and strong, whispered: "Shut up, what kind of hero is complaining here? ”
"Got it, Brother Shan. When the cadres heard the young man speak, none of them dared to make a mistake, and responded in a sullen voice, and it could be seen that this young man had some prestige among the younger generation.
At this time, Tang Yun found that the leader of this team was actually the "mountain brother", and his eyes couldn't help but light up, this person's name is Wang Zishan, and he is suitable for the two bear children of Wang Ziting and Wang Ziyu in terms of generation, but he is much older, and he has been taught martial arts by a monk who You Fang has come here, and he can be regarded as the first person of the younger generation in Wangjia Village.
Wang Zishan has a very good personality, he has a very good appetite for Tang Yun, plus this kid will always get some fresh meat for him to eat every once in a while, so Tang Yun's impression of him is even better.
Now seeing that it was this kid who led the team, and the place he was going to was an iron mine, Tang Yun naturally wanted to blend in with their team and go to the iron mine to have a look, maybe he could really find a vein that produced that kind of blue crystal.
Thinking in his heart, as soon as his body moved, he slid towards Wang Zishan, and after a while, he reached his feet, and ran up his shoulders with a "swish" along his trouser legs.
Wang Zishan glanced at Tang Yun who was wrapped around him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said to Wang Yuanzheng: "Haha, we were still talking about the big black snake just now, and he came here, so I am more confident in dealing with those harassers now." Hey...... If they dare to come, let the big black snake give them a look in the dark, and they will shed their skin if they don't die!"
Hearing Wang Zishan say this, the young people became excited, and after a while, they saw Wang Yuanzheng and said with some concern: "Brother Shan, the big black snake is raised by Uncle Tie Niu, and it is the baby of the two little guys Ziting and Ziyu, and it is not good if we take it away like this?"
"Forehead......" The smile on Wang Zishan's face froze, thinking of the two bear children, he also had a headache, he took the big black snake away with his front foot, and he didn't want them to follow them to the iron ore area, if that was the case, he was afraid that he would have to make a big deal. You must know that after the two children were almost killed by the people of Skull Mountain last time, Wang Tao regarded these two bear children more closely than anything else.
If Wang Tao knew that the two bear children ran to the iron mine because of themselves, would ...... Thinking of Wang Tao's fist, Wang Zishan couldn't help but shudder.
However, let him not take the big black snake to go, he was a little unwilling, and a little embarrassed turned around in place twice, and then said to Wang Yuanzheng with a sad face: "Yuanzheng, you go and tell Uncle Tie Niu that the big black snake himself followed us to the iron mine, and let him watch the two bear children closely." Yuan Zheng, my brother's life will be handed over to you, if you let those two bear children run away to the iron mine, you brother and I will definitely be beaten to death by Brother Tao!"
As he spoke, Wang Zishan also patted Wang Yuanzheng's shoulder with a look of encouragement.
