The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Before Shen Ge went to the island in person, he sent the soldiers of the Qingling Guard and experienced miners to investigate the situation first, but he vaguely guessed that he might have to go in person to find out the mystery.

The chief person in charge of the island is the centurion Fan Chuida. He has just passed 25 this year.

Shen Ge included him and 19 other people as candidates for investigation, intending to train them, a group of young generals, to prepare for the expansion of Qing Lingwei in the future.

When Fan Chuida heard the news that Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang were coming, he ordered the watchman to notify them early in the morning. Although it was not the first time he saw Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang, he was still a little nervous.

Just as Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang got off the boat, Fan Chuida came up to meet him. His clothes were taut, his tall and strong figure was fully revealed, and he looked very reliable, "Master, Second Master."

"What's the situation?" Shen Ge asked, "Is it true that the iron ore here has been exhausted?"

"Back to the second master, in the past six days, my subordinates have led people to search the island several times, but nothing has been dug up. The subordinates have also asked experienced old miners to look at it. The old miners said that the iron ore here has been exhausted. .The gold mine was exhausted before my subordinate took over. My subordinate once went to see it, and all the veins there have been dug out."

Shen Ge believed in Fan Chuida's ability. He said that if he did not find new iron ore and gold mines, the possibility of iron ore and gold mines here is very slim.In this way, the mineral veins on this island are worthless.

But Hu Naiqing had something to say first, he suggested that Shen Ge come and look for him, saying that the fate with Shen Ge here is not over, and there is still a feeling that there is still a surprise waiting for him here.

Shen Ge trusts Fan Chuida, and even more trusts Hu Naiqing.

In his opinion, no matter how stable and reliable Fan Chuida is, he is still stable and reliable in the field of talents.Hu Naiqing is not the case, he can communicate with ghosts and gods, Shen Ge always has a subtle sense of awe towards him.This sense of awe will not make Shen Ge feel that he is not easy to get close to, but it will make Shen Ge very convinced of him.

After listening to Fan Chuida's words, Shen Ge groaned for a while, and walked to the mining area side by side with Xun Feiguang, "I will go with the Duke, and you will lead the way."

The mine in this era is very simple, it is just a pothole, and the pillars supporting the roof of the cave are still Shen Ge, who is afraid that the cave dug out will collapse, which is especially annoying.

It is said to be a cave, but it is mainly a mud cave. The inside is not very ventilated, the air is turbid, and the groundwater has accumulated small pits one after another. Some small insects are flying around on the puddles.

Xun Feiguang glanced at Shen Ge, then raised his eyes to Dong Xiaowu behind Shen Ge, "Where is the ointment?"

"Master, here it is." Dong Xiaowu hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.

Xun Feiguang opened it and smelled it, and stopped Shen Ge's movement, "Don't move, we'll talk after applying the ointment."

Xun Feiguang seldom cared about other people's eyes, Shen Ge gradually got used to his style of doing things, and his style was quite rough.Xun Feiguang said that he would apply the ointment for him, but without thinking, he directly moved his face to it.

"Did you bring the anti-mosquito and insect repellent sachet?"

"Bring it, hang it on your waist." Shen Ge waited for Xun Feiguang to apply the ointment on his face, and replied vaguely, "You also apply some, so as not to let the bugs bite."

Hearing this, Xun Feiguang continued to apply the ointment for Shen Ge smoothly, and often put some on his face after applying it.Next to him, under the signal of Shen Ge, Dong Xiaowu distributed another bottle of ointment to the left and right.

"The ground is a bit slippery, master and master, be careful." Fan Chui held up a torch to open the way ahead.

Because the cave has been digging down, the steps have been going down.

Shen Ge looked at the potholed wall next to him, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything special about these places.

Although there are iron ore and gold mines on this island, the deposits are not large, so the mines here are also shallow. It took less than a quarter of an hour to visit all the mines.

"These mines are really nothing special, and I don't look like there are other minerals." Shen Ge stood on a hill on the island, looking at the entire island and the sea in the distance, looking for them Nothing was found either.

"If you don't find it, you won't find it. We don't lack a small iron ore or a small gold mine."

It doesn't look like there are many properties under Xun Feiguang's name, but this is all for the public to let interested people see.

In fact, from Xunyi to Xunjiu, from Bailiyi to Shaoxin, Xun Feiguang's cronies, everyone has a lot of property under their names, the owners of these properties are all Xun Feiguang, and now there are many Chen Ge.

Xun Feiguang doesn't need to let his subordinates dig mines, his industries can earn a small gold mountain every day.Not to mention raising three thousand Qing Lingwei and eight thousand people from all walks of life, even if there were ten times more, he would not feel strenuous.

Shen Ge has been reading the account books these days, so he naturally knows that what Xun Feiguang said is the truth.

But the facts are the facts, the Chinese New Year is about to come, Shen Ge made time to go to sea specially, just to find his fate with this island.If he didn't find anything at that time, but just turned around and was about to go back home, Shen Ge would definitely be suffocated by this breath.

This island is not too big, standing on the top of the highest mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the whole island at a glance.

Shen Ge looked at it, and suddenly found a problem, "Brother Xun, have you noticed that most of the Yangyi are only active in that area, and the rest of the place is full of plants, and there are basically no traces of people."

Xun Feiguang looked in the direction his finger was pointing at, and said calmly, "It looks like it is, but the forest is dense there, so I'm afraid there will be more snakes and insects."

The island is warm and humid all year round. Even though it is the end of December and January is coming soon, it is still not cold to wear single clothes on the island.This climate is convenient for birds to settle here, and it is also convenient for snakes to reproduce here.

"Shall we go and have a look? Since I've been around, I figured that if I really have a fate with this island, the fate should be there."

Xun Feiguang naturally wouldn't refuse the young minister's request.

Dong Xiaowu and Zhang Wuchou prepared the relevant ointment and realgar to repel snakes with great eyesight. Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang did not delay, and immediately walked towards the less-traveled side after coming down from the highest mountain top.

I don't know when the island was formed, and the seeds of the trees on the island began to float over one after another.

These trees seem to have grown here for hundreds of thousands of years. Most of the trees need to be hugged to keep them. The huge canopy is like an open giant umbrella, covering the underside of the tree tightly.

Shen Ge and the others walked under the canopy, like little ants struggling to move forward.

Probably because the place is surrounded by the sea and the wind is relatively strong, the trees here are seldom straight and straight, but most of them are crooked and crossed in the same area. It is easy to sprain your feet if you are not careful.

Few people come here, the leaves under the canopy are piled up very thick, the upper ones are dry, and the lower ones are rotten, and a small wet pit can be created by stepping on it.

Fan Chuida opened the way with a stick in front, hitting the roots of the tree as much as possible to scare the snake away.There are also soldiers beating on the left and right to ensure that no snake can break into their encirclement and bite people.

Chen Ge walked a bit hot, the tree roots were uneven, sometimes he had to bend over, and sometimes he had to take steps. After walking for a long time, Chen Ge was so tired that he was panting, and sweat was already breaking out from his temples.

Among this group of people, only Shen Ge had the weakest physical strength. He raised his hand to wipe his sweat, tried to discern the position of the sun from the gap in the tree crown, and said, "It's still early, let's rest for a while."

Fan Chui looked up and suggested, "Second Master, there is a big rock ahead, where should we rest?"

"Success, go there to rest and drink some water by the way."

Xun Feiguang looked at his face and asked in a low voice: "Can you still walk? Do you want me to carry you?"

"No need." Shen Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm a little weak, but I'm not so weak, just go ahead."

The so-called looking at the mountain runs dead horses, and the same is true for looking at the stone. Shen Ge originally thought that the stone was quite close, but it took a long time to get there.

When he arrived at the place, Shen Ge didn't care about his image anymore, and sat down on one of the small rocks, "I really don't want to go, you go and sit on those big rocks."

Xun Feiguang glanced at Fan Chengda's place, Fan Chengda immediately understood and led the people forward neatly without disturbing the couple.

Xun Feiguang took out warm boiled water with salt and sugar, twisted open the water bag, and touched Shen Ge's lips with the mouth of the water bag, "Drink some water first."

Warm boiled water with salt and sugar was requested by Chen Ge. He was worried about parasites and other things in the water in the wild, so he ordered the Qingling guards who went out early in the morning to bring water bags, and the Qingling guards who went up the mountain to chop firewood and go to the brick kiln to burn bricks. so it is.However, very few soldiers would drink boiled water with added sugar and salt. Firstly, the soldiers found it troublesome, and secondly, they did not have enough money to buy the sugar added to the water every day.

Shen Ge's pot of water tastes really special, drinking it can replenish physical strength, so not only the soldiers who followed him liked to drink it, but even their two horses, Du Xin and Ban Xia, liked to drink it when Shen Ge mixed the water.Shen Ge has always had a special kind of luck in terms of diet, and the things he makes are not unpalatable no matter what.

Shen Ge gulped down half a pot of water from Xun Feiguang's hand, wiped his mouth comfortably, lay down on the rock under him, and sighed, "Brother Xun, drink some water too."

Xun Feiguang hummed, pointed at the place where Shen Ge drank, and drank a few gulps.

Shen Ge wanted to turn his head to look at his side face, but just as he moved, something clicked on his head, causing Shen Ge to "hiss" involuntarily.

"What's wrong?" Xun Feiguang immediately became nervous, "But where did you get hurt?"

"I'm fine, but the rock is a bit hard."

Shen Ge sat up and looked at the bump that was touching him.

Xun Feiguang also leaned over to take a look. The bulge was black as a whole, and it seemed to be covered with a little bit of gold.

"Hey, this looks pretty nice."

"Indeed," Xun Feiguang said thoughtfully, "I think I know where your fate lies."

"Is this the thing?" Shen Ge couldn't believe it, "What's the origin of this big rock?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is not an ordinary stone, but a golden stone." Xun Feiguang said with a faint smile.

After getting along in the past few years, he has long been familiar with Shen Ge's good luck, not to mention that he can find gold essence stones when he lies down, even if he sneezes, it is not surprising to find gold essence stones by blowing away the leaves on the ground.

This kind of luck is so good that ordinary people can't envy it.
