Bianshanhan [farming]

Li Qingwen originally wanted to take the fluorite back to study, but Li Qingfeng saw the red under the sleeping bag, and thought it was on fire, so he rushed to save people, but it turned out that it was not the case.

Now the four of them looked at the glowing stone on the ground with surprise on their faces.

The four of them, including Li Qingwen, had never seen the Ye Mingzhu, but thought that the glowing fluorite looked a bit like something out of a legend, and no one was sure about it.

I don't know if these fluorites glow when they see the sun again, or what.

In addition to Li Qingwen's bag, the three of them also took the stones they found back into the tent, and they were more or less shining, but not very obvious, dark and dark, as if covered with a layer of veil, separated by a distance Like layers of water, mostly red and green,

There is only an oval-shaped blue-emitting stone in Li Qingfeng's place, and the egg-green one in Li Qingwen's hand, the light is even and clear.

The fluorite that Qi Min and Lao Sun had seen before was not like this, and they didn't dare to confirm it now.

The four of them carried the stones to the fire outside. When the fire was bright, the fluorescent lights dimmed. Even when they got close to the fire, they couldn't see any light at all, only the rough lines on the stone.

In the light of the fire, I looked at the fluorite they brought again. Except for the two stones with green light and blue light, most of the others were covered with uneven white particles, or grew together with stones of other colors.

Li Qingfeng rubbed off some attached particles, brought them into the tent again, and drilled into the dark, airtight sleeping bag, and found that the light was a little bigger than before, that is to say, if the outer layer was removed, the stone would still be brighter .

But the stone cannot be peeled off with bare hands.

Carefully install the fluorite. Of course, the good color should be taken out separately, and the others should not be damaged.

The four of them planned to go to the cave again tomorrow.

Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng were really brothers. When they returned to the tent, they both hugged their respective stones into sleeping bags and covered their heads.

There was no light in the sleeping bag, and the stone in his hand was shining like a dream. At this time, it could be seen that the inside of the stone was quite clear.

Li Qingwen's face was illuminated, he was very happy, he called "brother" as usual, turned around, but found that the side was empty.

He suddenly remembered that Jiang Cong didn't come with him this time, and went out with the officers and soldiers.

Qi Min was just about to enter the tent to see if the two of them were asleep. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Miss you Brother Jiang?"

Li Qingwen didn't speak, Qi Min checked the sleeping bag for him, and said, "I thought you were angry with Jiang Cong."

"No."

"That's good." Qi Min said: "Go to sleep, he will be back soon."

Before falling asleep, Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng still took out the stone, fearing that it would be crushed by turning over.

Li Qingfeng was full of energy, he woke up after lying down for less than three hours, dragged Li Qingwen out of his sleeping bag, ate his favorite grilled fish, and then the four of them set off with torches.

Fearing that they would come back late, and the sledge behind would not see them by then, Li Qingwen wrote a letter and left it beside the fire, pressing it tightly with stones.

Returning to the place yesterday, the four of them still threw a lit pine branch into it, but they saw many large and small stones falling on the ground inside the cave entrance. When they looked at it yesterday, there were no stones.

It should have fallen from the top of the cave and its surroundings.

Looking carefully at the entrance of the cave, there are indeed several gaps, and there are rustling stone powder falling down from the gaps.

The hole is about to collapse.

Now there was gold in it, but they didn't dare to go in. The four of them only picked up the stones that fell near the entrance of the cave, and didn't dare to take a few steps inside.

At this time, I really don't know whether to be lucky or what, if they dropped stones when they went in yesterday, they would have been scared to death if they didn't kill them.

If you don't go in, it's useless to guard the entrance of the cave. The four of them rode horses and circled around the mountains.

It stands to reason that the fluorite mine will not only appear on a single hill, there should be one nearby, but they can't find other holes and traces, and they can't dig with bare hands. They can only remember this place and find someone to come with them later. Check it out.

When returning to the original place from the west, many stones fell on the ground that had been cleaned up. No matter how big or small, they picked up everything they could.

Yesterday's stones were all picked from the belly of the mountain. Today's cave entrance is obviously not good. Most of them are the kind of salt-like stones, and it is expected that there will be no light.

When the sun was about to set, the four of them prepared to go back. Even though they found that there were no wild animals nearby, they did not dare to wander around in the dark night of the wilderness.

Just after walking back for more than [-] steps, I heard a "bang" from behind, and the cave completely collapsed.

There was some shaking on the ground, and the horses were frightened, shaking their heads in a panic.

After calming down, the four people reined in their horses and came back to take a look. The cave entrance collapsed and was blocked by miscellaneous stones.

Now there was nothing to miss, so I rode to the tent.

None of the stones they picked up at the entrance of the cave were good, and they deliberately dried them in the sun for a long time, but at night they only had a little light, which was nothing compared to yesterday's ones.

Li Qingwen has been thinking.

The ones they picked up in the belly of the mountain, did they fall off by themselves, or were they dug up and forgot to take them out? The ones they picked up casually were so good, and the ones that were taken away by others were more beautiful?

Who took those stones away, and where did they move them?

He hadn't figured it out yet, the sledge team had arrived, let's put this matter aside, and Li Qingwen followed the big guys to set up a big fire on the bank where they needed to dig.After the sledges were parked, everyone came up with picks and quickly dug out the thawed stones under the ashes. Some threw them aside, and some moved them to the sledges.

This time there are a few more people in the team. Zhou Fengnian also has two visitors from the capital. One of these two people is Lu Junfeng, an official from the Ministry of Industry, who went to the border town to supervise the work. Naturally, the Ministry of Industry wanted someone to come.

The other one is an old craftsman surnamed Zheng. He is old, burly, and dark-skinned. He has seen a lot of sun and wind and frost. It is said that he is also very experienced. Zhou Fengnian specially invited him here.

On the way back to the border town, Zheng Zhun talked a lot with them and others, so he was somewhat familiar with them.

Zheng Zhun was standing by the side, then he went to the sledge, picked up the stone, looked at it, and asked, "Who taught you to pick this?"

Everyone looked at Li Maoxian. Zheng Zhun walked over with the stone and said, "Brother, you are a good pick of stones. They are all capable of burning lime. Have you done it before?"

Li Maoxian stopped the pickaxe in his hand, nodded, and someone beside him interrupted: "Our uncle has surpassed the capital, and knows a lot."

"No, most of the heavy work of moving stones was done at the beginning, and it can be done with a handful of strength." Li Maoxian said.

Zheng Zhun looked surprised, looked at Li Maoxian, and said: "In the past, I also worked with the master in the capital for two years, and the inner city was repaired."

There were hundreds of thousands of people who built the capital at the beginning, and it was not uncommon for them not to know each other, but after so many years, they could still meet people who had worked together in the past, which was indeed due to fate.

Because of this, the two got close to each other, talking while working.

Zhou Fengnian stood for a while, his hair was messed up by the wind, he invited Lu Junfeng and Zheng Zhun to the tent, Zheng Zhun didn't move, Lu Junfeng stood in the tent with him and ate grilled fish.

Li Qingwen saw that Zhou Fengnian was still wearing a tight hat on his head, and thought to himself, after the hot weather, his hair wouldn't grow back, how would he cover it up then?

While they were resting, Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng told Li Maoxian about finding the cave and the glowing stone. Li Maoxian's heart skipped a beat, and he repeatedly told them not to go into the cave casually, in case of a subsidence, it would be fatal.

This time Li Maoxian spoke harshly, Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng bowed their heads and kept saying yes.

I didn’t feel tired when I came here, so after filling up the sledge, the big guy didn’t take much rest, turned around and walked back.

Carloads of stones followed the sledge and left the river. Li Maoxian was not in a hurry this time. He was shocked when he saw the two beautiful fluorites at night. Let's talk about the rest when we go back.

Ma Yongjiang and Li Qingyong found their brothers and said that they were not loyal enough, so they ran away on horseback without waiting for them.

Without further ado, Li Qingwen took out a bag of seasonings that were ground into powder, and grilled a large fish for each of them, and the anger in their hearts finally calmed down.

It was useless for them to be anxious, neither of them had a horse.

Many of the war horses in the camp were ridden out by the officers and soldiers, and the rest and the wild horses in the village had to pull the sledge. Qi Min and Lao Sun helped Chen Wen look after the team, and only got two horses. The others had no legitimate reason, of course, they had no horses to ride .

Li Qingwen was digging a tree tube with a rotten core inside, and a pile of rotten skins went down with a pickaxe. This kind of planing was easy but not forbidden to burn, and another pickaxe went down, and a dead sable was dug out of the empty tree tube. His body was stiff, and he didn't see any injuries, but the leather all over his body was still in good condition.

Ma Yongjiang was used to it, picked up the dead sable and put it in the bag, saying: "Boy, work hard."

When Li Qingfeng saw it, he quickly waved the pickaxe, and got most of the tree trunk he had planed halfway out, set it on fire, and then ran to his brother's side.

Li Qingyong quickly swept the snow on the ground, revealing the uneven logs in the snow and ice. Li Qingfeng and Li Qingwen dug with pickaxes. After digging twice, they found that the logs were half on the bank and half frozen in the river, which was too much effort.

Li Qingwen wanted to change another one, but Li Qingfeng still didn't move, he just cut off the half of the bank. He switched to an axe and chopped it a few times, only the outer skin fell off, and the wood inside was quite strong.

This time Li Qingfeng wanted to change another one, but Li Qingwen came back instead. He bent down and peeled off the bark cut off by the little brother's axe. The inner layer was purple-red wood. Could be used as a boat.

This time when he went to the capital to take a round trip by boat, his elder brother was obviously interested in this thing, so Li Qingwen followed him and paid attention to it.
