The Black Mountain Village at the foot of Montenegro is like a man-made nail, nailed to the foot of Montenegro, completely suppressing all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods within a radius of 100 miles, and it can be regarded as a town guard.

And just around Black Mountain Village, within a range of more than 100 miles, it can be said that there is no grass and the land is barren.

However, after the hard work of the ancestors who lived in Heishan Village, they finally dug a large-scale artificial river outside the village of Heishan Village.

And it also succeeded, from a large river more than ten miles away, attracting abundant river water.

This completely saved this barren land and brought a glimmer of life to the people living here.

And since there is abundant river water, many new plants and various magical beasts have been bred in the nearby land, so that the villagers of Black Mountain Village have a secure life.

Today, after Cao Yanchao woke up from the old village chief's house, he and Cao Yanqiu came to the river near his house.

No way, who let this be the lowest place in the whole moat!

Otherwise, Cao Yanchao would not have built the stove here in the first place, just to attract the turbulent river water when necessary.

As a result, after the explosion a few days ago, not only the surrounding buildings and countless plants were blown into the sky, but also a large crater was blown up in the place where the stove used to be.

Fortunately, in the past five days, Cao Yandong's hard work has cleared this big pit.

And when Cao Yanchao came here, he found that Cao Yandong had unknowingly cleared a big pit of no small scale?

So suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Cao Yanchao's mind, he wanted to build a fish pond here.

That's right, it's a fish pond.

This is also something that can't be helped, who let Cao Yanchao boast about Haikou in front of the old village chief, saying that he promised that no one would starve to death in the village in the future?

If Cao Yanchao is allowed to go fishing in the river every day, then he must not be tired to death?

Even if he is tired for a while, he will be annoyed to death.

So, Cao Yanchao thought that he could use this big pit to build a fish pond, and then use this fish pond to raise river fish in captivity.

When the river fish are fattened, they can be fished out and eaten, and then they can eat fresh river fish every winter.

It's just perfect.

However, before everything started, Cao Yanchao still took the initiative to go down to the inside of the big pit, and he said hello to Cao Yandong first.

"Xiao Dongzi, I heard Xiaoqiu say, you have done a good job in the past few days, and you will have to do a good job in the future!"

As a result, Cao Yandong just nodded stupidly, didn't look at Cao Yanchao the whole time, just looked at Cao Yanqiu blankly, and it took a long time before he replied with a word.

"Hmm. ”

Cao Yanchao was used to this, and he smiled bitterly.

He carefully inspected the bottom of the big pit, and after making sure that there was nothing in the bottom of the pit, he could only sigh helplessly.

It turned out that Cao Yanchao thought that he could find something similar to iron fragments at the bottom of the pit, after all, after a fire, not only detonated the magic core, but also blew up the stove into the sky, there is no reason not to leave a little thing?

As a result, most of the debris at the scene was cleaned up by Cao Yandong.

At all, nothing useful was left.

At this time, Cao Yanqiu on the side asked with some puzzlement.

"Xiaochao, are you looking for something?"

In fact, originally, Cao Yanchao didn't like Cao Yanqiu very much, and felt that although this little girl was cold on the outside, it seemed harmless to humans and animals, but she was too careful, and even he was cheated several times.

However, Cao Yanchao is not the kind of person who does not understand human accidents, and he also knows that this little girl is actually a little sick of a princess, but in essence, she is not a bad person, so she will take her to play with her.

Of course, the most important thing is because of Cao Yandong's nerd, every time he sees the little girl, he looks like a stupid nympho, so even the fool knows his mind.

So Cao Yanchao was worried, if he drove Cao Yanqiu away, then Cao Yandong probably wouldn't be able to stay, so wouldn't he become a bare-bones commander?

And because of this, although Cao Yanchao is not, he likes Cao Yanqiu very much, but he can only let her follow him.

"Well, yes, because it doesn't make sense! How could there be anything left? Didn't we burn in vain?"

And after knowing that Cao Yanchao was indeed looking for something, Cao Yanqiu said to Cao Yandong excitedly.

"Xiao Dongzi, didn't you bury all those useless things? ”

Regarding Cao Yanqiu's words, Cao Yandong naturally didn't dare to object, he obediently pointed to the open space on the side.

"There used to be a pothole there, and it took me a long time to fill it. ”

Although the place where Cao Yandong pointed was not in the center of the stove, it was within the range of the stove, so Cao Yanchao ran over in a hurry.

Since he didn't bring tools over, Cao Yanchao directly used his hands together, and in just a while, he dug out all the floating soil on the floor.

Sure enough, from the hole, a lot of black things were taken out.

Most of them were useless things, only a strange-looking black stone, Cao Yanchao pinched it hard, but it didn't move at all.

Suddenly, Cao Yanchao was happy, so he jumped up happily like a child who had picked up a baby.

Then he picked up the big black rock and ran to the side of the river.

The next step was to use the continuous flow of river water to thoroughly wash the large black stones.

And when this big black stone revealed its true face, Cao Yanchao couldn't help but be stunned.

Damn, isn't this just a frying pan?

It turned out that when this large stone was cleaned, a strange thick black iron plate appeared.

And its naturally formed perimeter looks very regular, like rows of jagged teeth.

It only takes a bit of serious polishing to make it a very sharp weapon.

But the most important thing is that in the central part of this thick iron plate, it seems to have been hit by some kind of huge force, and it is actually forced in the middle part, and a large piece is concave, which is more like a frying pan.

All of a sudden, Cao Yanchao had some mixed tastes, he recalled the good old days, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Cao Yanqiu, who was on the side, also found the thick iron plate in Cao Yanchao's hand, and she couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Xiaochao, what is in your hand, why is it black?"

After hesitating for a moment, Cao Yanchao casually picked up a gray stone from the side of the river, and then asked her.

"What do you think this is?"

After taking the stone, Cao Yanqiu carefully observed it, and then replied with a puzzled face.

"Isn't this just a broken rock?

Then, Cao Yanqiu threw the stone on the floor with a disgusted face.

After seeing the stone fall to the ground, Cao Yanchao just smiled calmly, and then he snorted lightly.

"Then you can see it, cut it off for me!"

With a soft drink, Cao Yanchao picked up the thick iron plate in his hand and slashed at the gray stone on the floor.

After a crisp "ding", the gray stone on the floor instantly broke into two sections.

Cao Yanchao took a closer look at the edge of the thick iron plate and found that this thing was intact, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

However, the feeling that came back from the hand just now, the hardness of this thick iron plate seems to be far more than that of ordinary iron plates, and it is somewhat close to the feeling of steel plates, but in terms of actual weight, it is a little too heavy?

For a while, Cao Yanchao couldn't figure out whether this thing was iron or steel?

And just when Cao Yanchao was studying his frying pan, Cao Yandong on the side picked up the gray stones that fell on the ground with a curious face, for these small stones, he is the person who has the most right to speak, after all, he is the one who has smashed stones for three days in a row!

So, when Cao Yandong picked up a gray stone on the floor, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"This, how is this possible?"

And Cao Yanqiu, who was also standing aside, said with disgust.

"Haven't you seen a stone?"

As for the question of the girl he liked, Cao Yandong naturally couldn't help answering, but after holding it for a long time, he said with great difficulty.

"This stone is very hard, though it is not the hardest stone, but it is also very hard, very hard. ”

Although this is not very clear, Cao Yanqiu is not an ordinary girl after all, when it comes to being well-informed, she may be the one who has the most knowledge among the three.

So Cao Yanqiu also picked up another stone from the floor, and found that the edge of the gray stone was as smooth as a mirror like a flat water surface, and she couldn't help but snort softly.

"How is this possible?"

Then, both of them looked at Cao Yanchao with glowing eyes, or the thick iron plate of his hand.

knew that this would be the result, so Cao Yanchao was very happy, and handed the thick iron plate that had not yet been covered in his hand to Cao Yandong.

But Cao Yandong has just taken over the thick iron plate, and it hasn't been long yet.

didn't even look at it a few times, but was snatched by Cao Yanqiu, who was already impatient on the side.

And looking at Cao Yandong's pitiful appearance, Cao Yanchao could only sigh helplessly, brother can only help you get here, but you are not angry, brother can't help it!

However, in order not to watch the farce of the two people anymore, Cao Yanchao began to collect materials around.

Because if you want to attract more river fish, you need more bait.

This is the so-called man dies for wealth, and birds die for food.

It's the same with this fish.

All you need to do is fill the big pit in front of you with enough bait, and it will definitely attract a large number of river fish.

When the time comes, you only need to drain the river water in the big pit, and the river fish in the big pit will inevitably die.

Originally, if you wanted to make bait, the best material would be a variety of grains.

However, considering the poor and destitute situation of Black Mountain Village, there is no edible food at all, so the bait needed for fish farming can only rely on Cao Yanchao to find a way by himself.

Suddenly, Cao Yanchao thought of another good way.

"Xiaoqiu, can you help me and the children in the village announce a news, starting tomorrow, you only need to collect a hundred insects, and you can come to my house and exchange for a pound of fish and meat. ”

Cao Yanqiu, who was on the side, couldn't care about admiring the thick iron plate in her hand for a while, she asked with a surprised face.

"Is what you said true? You can't sleep too long and people are stupid, right? A pound of fish and meat is exchanged for a hundred bugs?"

And Cao Yanchao, who didn't know why, couldn't help but hesitate a little, so he said embarrassedly?

"Yes! It's a pound of fish for a hundred bugs, is it too much for bugs, or too little? How about 80 bugs for a pound of fish? That's my limit. ”

Cao Yanqiu couldn't help but be even more speechless, this is really crazy, crazy, this world is so crazy, she couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Do you just want to eat bugs? A pound of fish for eighty bugs? How much do you want to eat bugs?"

And looking at Cao Yanqiu's excited expression, and Cao Yandong who was looking at him blankly, Cao Yanchao couldn't help but be speechless.

"It's because you're thinking too much, and I'm not a monster, so how can I eat bugs? Bugs are what I use as bait and for fishing. ”

At this time, Cao Yanqiu realized that she had misunderstood, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and found that she had misunderstood, so she quickly explained.

"Bait? So you want to fish?

In fact, there used to be some poor people in the village, because they were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, they would go outside the village to catch some small insects and come back to eat, although the taste was not very good, but at least it was much better than being starved to death.

I'm sorry I misunderstood you just now. ”

After listening, Cao Yanchao couldn't help but be speechless, and he suddenly had an inexplicable sense of responsibility.

Although he is not the head of a village, he still hopes that the relatives around him can live a better life, at least not to the point of eating insects.

This may be Cao Yanchao's mission, right?

It was also the first time that Cao Yanchao had a sense of mission.

Then, Cao Yanchao replied.

"That's right, bait is for fishing, if you think eighty bugs is too much, then fifty bugs, for a pound of fish! But it will take a few days for me to get the fish, after all, I don't have that much stock right now. ”

Cao Yanqiu, who was on the side, hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, it's too much, it's too much, well, no, I mean it's too much, two hundred bugs for a pound of fish and meat.

After all, it's just some ordinary little insects, it's worthless at all, and it can't be exchanged for merit points, and if it can be exchanged for fish and meat to eat, those poor children are probably going crazy?"

And seeing Cao Yanqiu, who was originally cold, suddenly looked like he was in a hurry, Cao Yanchao knew that he was wrong, but he still insisted.

"That's good, but you have to remember, you have to do it, it's important!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Yanchao was going to go home first, and it was best to get a salted fish first to pad his stomach, because he was so hungry, and now his stomach was empty, and if he didn't eat a little, he would probably faint from hunger.

It turned out that because I had been thinking about seeing the results of iron smelting, I forgot about hunger for a while.

Now that he has not only found a thick iron plate, but also found his mission, he can't help but feel relieved.

Then, Cao Yanchao suddenly became hungry again.

But at this moment, Cao Yanqiu couldn't help but ask.

"What about this thing? Won't you bring it back?"

Cao Yanchao thought for a while, then replied simply.

"I don't think I can get that magic core of yours back, so this thick iron plate will be regarded as my apology and will be returned to you!"

For a while, Cao Yanqiu didn't know what to say, although the magic core was also very valuable, but compared to an iron weapon, it was much worse.

Cao Yanqiu's father once spent a full ten magic cores in the city in exchange for an iron dagger for self-defense!

Now a magic core has been replaced by an iron weapon, which is obviously earned by Cao Yanqiu!

That's right, in this world, the magic core is a transaction currency that is used on a daily basis.

Of course, you can also use the magic core in exchange for ordinary coins, but that is when the people in the city trade with each other, they will use coins, and in the usual transactions, the villagers of Black Mountain Village will still use the magic core as the main trading currency.

Despite this, Cao Yanqiu still felt that he had suffered a loss.

After all, that magic core was given to her by her father for self-defense?

And this ugly thing, I don't know if it's iron?

So, Cao Yanqiu wanted to go to his grandfather and ask about the situation.

After all, the second elder's insight is not inferior to that of the eldest elder who is the village head!

And when Cao Yanqiu made up her mind, when she raised her head again, Cao Yanchao had already disappeared without a trace, and only Cao Yandong was still looking at her stupidly.
