Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 189 Discovery of Iron Ore
"Hiss..." The hand that declined was suddenly scratched by it, and three deep scars visible on the bones immediately appeared on the back of the hand.

When Qingzhu saw it, he grabbed the white fox by the neck angrily, "You are so wild and untamable, I might as well kill you and let Mr. Xu cook for you tonight!"

"Wait a minute." As soon as she declined, the white fox's red eyes glowing with blue fluorescence suddenly looked over. She looked at him, and suddenly felt a bit of pity and begging for mercy.

She didn't know if she thought too much about it, but she always felt that this white fox was quite spiritual.

It was just now that she couldn't resist petting the cat. She wanted to try what it felt like to pet a fox. She didn't pay attention for a moment, and was accidentally injured by its defense.

After looking around, I found that the cave was empty and lonely, as quiet as an isolated place. The water outside flowed slowly and slowly, really like a paradise.

But, how did this white fox survive in the cave?

Thinking of this, Xie Xie tried to squat down to communicate with it, "If you can tell me what secrets there are in this cave, I will let you go, okay?"

The white fox's tail twisted, as if he understood what she said.

Xie was desperate for it and made a bold decision.

"Qingzhu, let it go."

"Smelly woman, it scratched you just now! How can you let it go? I'm going to take it back to make soup!" Qingzhu kept chattering, but she said again, "Forget it, let it go. "

Qingzhu curled his lips, and although he was very reluctant, he slowly let go of his hand.

At the same time, the cunning white fox jumped towards the stone wall above his head with a hiss, and then hid somewhere without knowing where it was.

He refused to look up at the place where the light came in. He stood up and found the stone wall where he had just twisted the mechanism again. He twisted it around, and the stone wall made the same "click" sound as before. Then the light above his head was blocked by the misplaced stone, and the light disappeared. .

She turned on the mechanism and asked Qingzhu to continue looking up.

Who knows that behind the entrance of the cave, there is still nothing but rocky cliffs.

I couldn't hide my disappointment. I thought I would find some treasure when I discovered this water curtain cave this time. As a result, it turned out that what was shown in novels and TV series was all lies. In reality, no martial arts secrets and treasures would fall from the sky like pie.

After checking the cave again and again, Qingzhu and Xiexie returned to Qingshui Village.

Ma Rong took Xu Boyan to the nearby area for a field trip, but she hasn't come back yet.

Lao San declined the warm invitation to sit at home. She couldn't refuse, so she took Qingzhu and Dugu Xiwei in together.

Just as she was about to enter, she turned her head and took a look.

Suddenly asked: "Where is Gongsun Meng? Why haven't I seen her since I got off the car just now?"

Qingzhu and she had just come back, so if they had to ask about this, they could only ask Dugu Xiwei.

Unexpectedly, he said, "I don't know."

Xie Jie frowned slightly, and Dugu Xi said slightly, "Maybe I'll leave."

She smiled and said, "Did you let her go?"

He opened his lips and nodded slightly, "Yes."

The third child laughed, "Do you want me to ask someone to help find that lady? I just went home to coax the child, and I didn't pay attention to which road she came from."

He declined: "No, let's go. Don't you want to buy me a drink of water? I also want to try whether the spring water flowing from the sacred mountain in your Qingshui Village is as clear and sweet as Sister Ma said." Don’t tell me, this water is really sweet!”

The third child opened the door and said with some embarrassment: "My house only has two rooms. My husband is putting the baby to sleep in the back. Let's sit in the main room first. My eldest sister will come back soon and will ask someone to call us. ”

She refused to look at his simple two-bedroom apartment. There was not even a table in the room, only a few round straw stools. She lifted up her skirt and sat down, waiting for the third child to fill the wooden tube with water.

The third child held several bamboo tubes in his hands, scooped up a few spoonfuls of water into a huge water storage jar, and then handed it over lamely.

Xie Xie looked at her walking posture and said thoughtfully, "How did you get your leg injured?" He took the opportunity to take the glass of spring water that Ma Rong and Lao San praised so much.

"Three years ago I went out to rob, and I was accidentally stepped on by a horse on the road. Later, the bones were broken, so I didn't care. It didn't affect me in any way."

Qingzhu on the side took the water and took a sip, and then said in surprise: "It's really sweet!"

Xie Xie knew that Qingzhu was a glutton and said everything he ate was delicious. Now he was worried that his children would be starved and he even made a fuss about drinking water.

She lifted the bamboo tube and took a sip.

Then I paused, and I didn't expect that this water was really sweet in my mouth. There was even a hint of sweetness in my mouth for a while.

How is this going?

Dugu Xiwei also took a small sip, then took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe his lips, and said calmly, "I originally read it in an ancient book called "Guanzi·Dishu Pian", which recorded that ' If there is red sand, there is gold below; if there is mercy stone on top, there will be copper and gold below; if there is mausoleum stone on top, there will be lead, tin, and red copper below; if there is ocher on top, there will be iron below."

"Another book called "Ancient Minerals" has also recorded that wherever there are special minerals, there is usually a water source. As long as the spring water is unusually sweet, there is a great possibility that special minerals are contained there. "

Xie Xie immediately understood what he meant, and immediately asked Lao San to find some tools and knock down some of the remains of the stone wall under the water flow.

After washing away the moss and mud covering the upper layer of the stone, I discovered that the inside of the stone actually showed a light red color. If I remember correctly, this should be the ocher that Dr. Yuan has collected in his study all year round?

It is said to be a raw material for making pigments.

If there is ocher on the top, there will be iron on the bottom.

So, there is most likely iron ore hidden under this stone mountain?

The iron ore was good, but he refused to think of the few iron kitchen utensils he had managed to make thanks to Shen Yiming's connections in Kyoto.

It is said that this iron ore is very rare, and Jiyue's iron smelting technology is not yet developed. In many cases, it even relies on iron sand, that is, magnetite, for smelting, so the purity and hardness are not the best.

Qingshui Village is not far from Kyoto, so he immediately decided to write a letter to ask Zhou Wenxi to come to Qingshui Village to meet him.

She had just finished writing, and Qingzhu immediately folded his arms and stood far away, "I won't go! Can't you learn from the beauty brother and raise a few carrier pigeons for emergencies? I'm not your slave! Why? I’ll do whatever it takes!”

"Good Qingzhu, please help me one more time. It's inconvenient to use homing pigeons. What if someone intercepts you along the way? You are the most reliable. When you go, Zhou Wenxi can bring us some Come get some food! When you come back, I’ll ask my senior brother to make something delicious for you!”

Qingzhu pouted and refused to return to Kyoto alone.

After refusing and coaxing him for a long time, he finally let go.

Dugu Xiwei rarely took the initiative and said, "Let me do it."
