Happy peasant girl

Chapter 507
Yan Yun had brought his soldiers up the mountain to cut trees in person, but because the snow had already reached his waist, and the mountain was very slippery, many soldiers were bruised and swollen.

Lin Qingxi is also worried about this. If there is not enough firewood, the life in Chuxi City will not be easy in the future, and because of the cold weather, it is impossible to save too much firewood. What should I do?

"Mother, mother? Mother——" just as she was walking into the room, she saw Lin Qingxi sitting in front of the fireplace with her brows furrowed, and she walked up to her and gently shook her arm.

"It's Zhengzheng, is there anything you can do to find a mother?" Since the three children wore Lingzhiyu, they no longer fear the cold, and Zhengzheng is sweating all day long from running.

"Mom, you haven't played with Zhengzheng for a long time, and no one plays with Zhengzheng anymore!" Zhengzheng said a little unhappy. Since it snowed all day in Chuxi City, he was also forbidden to go out of the house, and Huoque, Lanluo and the others all have things to do, but everyone else is also very busy, and no one is with him.

"Just be good, go and play with your elder brother and younger sister, mother has something to think about!" Lin Qingxi said softly, looking at her son.

"Mom, what can you tell me, I'm your smartest son, I can definitely help you, tell me what you want your precious son to do." Zhengzheng approached Lin Qingxi and said with a smile.

"Zhengzheng, you can't help your mother with this matter! Be good, go find your brother and sister!" Lin Qingxi also knew that these three children had been neglected these days, but now instead of playing with the children, let the common people The most important thing is that they survive.

"Mother, you don't say anything, how do you know that you can't help you, mother, you just underestimate your son, do you know that I can help you with anything, I am amazing. Mother, brother He has made the gopher listen to me, and from now on, I will be even better, mother, just tell me, just say it!" Zhengzheng said coquettishly.

Seeing his son's expression of wanting to help, Lin Qingxi finally softened his heart, and said: "Mother needs a lot of firewood now, can you help mother. Well, even if there is no firewood, other things are fine."

Zhengzheng straightened his face, tilted his head and asked curiously: "Mom, what are the others?" He knew the firewood, but he was weak and couldn't move it.

"It's something that can be burned, something that makes people feel warm. Don't people feel warm when the wood is burned?" Lin Qingxi didn't really think that Zhengzheng could be of any help.

"Warm?" Zhengzheng tried hard to recall, and suddenly grinned, "Mom, I have a black egg that is warm, haha, I'll get it right away!"

Before Lin Qingxi could ask what the "black egg" was, he saw that there was no one in sight, and then he ran over quickly again.

"Mother, mother, this is a black egg, it's warm when it's burned!" Just as he was offering a treasure, he stuffed a dark object into Lin Qingxi's hand.

Lin Qingxi, who didn't take it seriously at first, saw clearly what the "black egg" Zhengzheng was talking about, stood up abruptly, and asked anxiously: "Zhengzheng, where did you get this?"

Zhengzheng knew that his things were treasures, and seeing his mother's anxious look, this "black egg" would definitely help her.

"Mother, this is given to me by the little black mouse. It is the gopher mouse given to me by my brother. This thing is a gadget it gave me."

What Zhengzheng didn't tell Lin Qingxi was that when he first got the little black ball given to him by the gopher, he saw that his little white hand suddenly turned into a little black hand, so he was so angry that he threw the little black ball After entering the fire, I didn't expect the little black ball to burn, and it was warm.

So, just now when he heard Lin Qingxi talk about "nuannuan", he immediately thought of this little black ball.

"Zhengzheng, can you help my mother ask your gopher, are there many small black balls like this? Also, where can I find this kind of small black ball?" This is not a small black ball at all, but Linqingxi has never thought of coal, and there are more gophers in the western border of Chu State. Does that mean there will be coal mines here?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Qingxi couldn't sit still anymore, she had to figure out the situation as soon as possible.

Soon, Zhengzheng ran out again, and then Junjun ran in with him. Behind the two of them was a relatively fat gopher, which was about the size of an ordinary cat.

Lin Qingxi was startled at first, she had never seen such a big gopher, Junjun told her not to be afraid, saying that it was just a rat king.It knew where the little black balls in Linqingxi's hand could be found, and there were quite a few of them in a mountain on the outskirts of Chuxi City.

Lin Qingxi told Ruo Xin to go find Yun Yun quickly, and ask him to meet her in those barren hills outside Chuxi City.

Junjun and Zhengzheng wanted to follow, but Linqingxi didn't understand animal language, so she had to rely on the mouse king to find coal, so she asked Yushan to take care of Duoduo, and took her two sons and the north and south of the spirit clan The elder went to the suburbs.

When Ruo Xin went to look for Yun Yun, he was leading people to cut trees on the outskirts of the mountain, and this place was still some distance away from the barren mountain that Lin Qingxi mentioned.

Lin Qingxi was in such a hurry to find him, there must be something very important, so Yan Yun handed over the matter of tree cutting to He Nan, and then went to see Lin Qingxi with Ruo Xin.

Yan Yun waited for Linqing River at the foot of the barren mountain for a while, and then saw her appear with her two sons and the elders of the North and South.

Greeting them, Yan Yun helped Lin Qingxi get out of the carriage: "An'an, what are you doing here with your two children?"

"Yun, talk while walking!" After getting off the carriage, Lin Qingxi nodded to Junjun and Zhengzheng, letting the mouse king they were talking about walk in the front.

These barren hills in Chuxi City are not the same as the rocky hills unique to Western Xinjiang. Although there are many rocks on the rocky hills, there are weeds and trees growing on them, but these barren hills are barren of grass, and the locals will feel bored when they get close to these barren hills. Comfortable, it seems that there is a bad smell here.

Over time, the locals felt that these barren hills were cursed, and no one came near them.

Lin Qingxi told Yan Yun that the gopher who walked in front of them gave Zhengzheng a small black ball, and this small black ball is called coal, which is a kind of rock that can burn, and it is a dye that can completely replace charcoal , and the effect will be better.

"An'an, if Chuxi City really has the coal you mentioned, it seems that Chuxi City will become more important in the future!" Yan Yun was thinking about another thing. Once this kind of coal that can replace firewood comes out, it will definitely be Cause a sensation, maybe there will be many people competing for this place.

Lin Qingxi didn't expect Yan Yun to have such a sense of urgency, but he was right, coal is indeed very important, so this place must not fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, which is why she let so few people come here reason.

"Yun, you are right. If there is coal here, then your troops must turn this place into a protection circle, and it is the top priority. Xijiang is the place where the two countries meet. I'm afraid the fight will be more intense." But Linqingxi can't care too much, the most important thing is to save the people in the city, otherwise everything will be useless.
