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

Lian Qiao said softly: "He has a pair of beast eyes, I have only seen such eyes on one person's face."

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

"Who is he?"

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

There seemed to be some pictures in Shu Yan's mind, but he still couldn't remember them.

Lian Qiao walked up to Shu Yan, took a good look into Shu Yan's eyes, and then said: "Old lady, you should have died soon, but you are alive now."

At this time Cheng San came over and directly grabbed Lianqiao's arm, and said with a smile: "Bai Guichen made steamed buns today, stuffed with pork, it tastes better than fried noodles."

Lianqiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, she pulled Asura to eat steamed buns, Shu Yan looked at Lianqiao's back thoughtfully.

Sui Ying walked up to Shu Yan and whispered in her ear: "Last night I just turned over and got up all night, and she woke up. If we want to do something to keep her from knowing, it will probably be very difficult."

Shu Yan looked at the bouncing Forsythia, she said in a low voice: "Then let's make an accident and let her do it."

After they had breakfast, Shu Yan was going to take Cheng San and Lianqiao out to chop firewood.

The main reason is that Forsythia is very skilled in kung fu, and Shu Yan does have some things that he wants to say to her alone.

It was a crisp autumn day, and they left the village and walked to the top of the mountain. At this time, there were many people chopping firewood for the winter in the mountain.

Cheng San was holding an axe, and was about to cut down the bushes next to him that were as thick as an arm.

But Shu Yan said to Cheng San: "You go to other places to chop. The trees here are too thin and the wood is not good. It will burn like smoke."

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

Lianqiao was rather straightforward, she looked at Shu Yan and said, "Old Madam, do you have something to say to me?"

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

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Master, he is fine now, old madam, what do you mean by this question?"

Shu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "I know you won't betray old man Chen, but I want to ask you to do me a favor, of course it is to help old man Chen."

Forsythia has a simple personality, but she is not a stupid person either.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

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

Lian Qiao's expression changed suddenly, she looked at Shu Yan in surprise.

"I need to report it to the marshal. After all, the child has a special status. If he really faked his death, I'm afraid it will cause more disasters."

Shu Yan said with a smile: "It's not urgent, I'm looking for you today, and I have other things to do."

Lianqiao was a little puzzled, she continued to ask: "What else?"

Shu Yan took out an ax from behind, handed it to Lian Qiao and said, "Of course it's chopping wood."

Lianqiao held the axe, although she was puzzled, she was obedient, she raised the knife and dropped the tree, but after chopping for a while, Lianqiao began to rub her arm.

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

Seeing the rabbit in Cheng San's hand, Lian Qiao took it curiously and hugged it in her arms, then said: "Did you catch such a small rabbit for food? There's not enough meat."

Cheng Sanpi said with a nonchalant smile: "What to eat, this is breeding. Rabbits give birth to a litter a month, so it's good to eat as meat."

Lian Qiao 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, throw it away. I just met other people in the village in the woods. They said that everyone was chopping firewood and selling it in the city. Before, they could sell it for two cents a load of firewood, but now they only It can be sold for a penny."

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

Forsythia has never worried about making a living, she said, "It's so cheap, so is there anyone going to sell it?"

Cheng San smiled helplessly: "Of course there are. Even if there is a good harvest, some people will starve to death."

Today's harvest is good, but the tax has increased. If we don't store enough food before winter, many people will starve to death.

Lian Qiao looked at the affluent mountains and forests, and the endless wilderness after harvesting, she said in a low voice.

"why."

Cheng San picked up the ax that Lianqiao had thrown on the ground and put it in Lianqiao's hand. He didn't answer Lianqiao's question directly, but said: "You can't always use your arms to cut trees. You need to use your waist. It is not the land that is stronger than people, but the people on the land that make ordinary people unable to afford food."

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

Lianqiao naturally understood at this moment that the mother and son did not bring her here to chop firewood.

Lian Qiao asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Shu Yan saw that Forsythia had taken the bait, and said, "You will know after cutting the firewood."

Forsythia felled for a whole morning, and they were too tired to do it. The three of them went home with three bundles of firewood on their backs.

After eating, they went to the mountain to chop a lot of firewood and came back. This time, the whole family went to battle.

They cut a total of two or three days of firewood, and the firewood piled up in a corner of the yard.

Lian Qiao 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 at home, started digging sand on the sand, and got some quicklime.

Lian Qiao was quite puzzled, she said: "Old madam, what are you going to do?"

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

Sui Ying, who was at the side, was taken aback for a moment. She walked forward and saw Shu Yan mixing mud. She said, "I heard that the silver charcoal in Jiangnan can be smoke-free, but the silver charcoal burns very well. Trouble, we shouldn't need anthracite in this broken house with air leaks everywhere."

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

Sui Ying was taken aback for a moment, she couldn't help looking at Forsythia.

Lianqiao said in a low voice, "Old madam, what do you want to do?"

Shu Yan still didn't answer Forsythia's question, she was just concentrating on her work, after all, building a blast furnace, especially a two to three meter blast furnace, was really a technical job, she would have let Cheng San stay as a coolie.

In fact, Shu Yan's idea is also very simple. If you want to recruit someone, especially a simple person like Lianqiao, you should show her a pure ideal.

And it made her unable to refrain from approving this ideal.
