Chapter 37
Chang Sanshi muttered to himself, Wen Furong looked over curiously.

"This stone is really strange. It looks black and black."

"Father and mother, do you know what this is?" The three Chang brothers looked at it eagerly.

Chang Sanshi pondered, he thought of something, but he was not sure yet, and was looking carefully to distinguish it.

Chang Xi leaned over to take a look, feeling surprised and uncertain.

"Father, what the hell is this?" Chang Le couldn't wait to ask.

"It seems to be a black stone!" Chang Sanshi's face changed wonderfully.

"Black stone?" Chang Xi was confused when he heard this. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a lump of coal used to light a fire, but what was a lump of coal called in ancient times?
Is it called Black Stone?

Chang Xi was organizing his words, and when he was about to ask, Chang Sanshi began to tell what he had seen and heard.

"I also saw it once in a restaurant, when I was a chef, the shopkeeper said that the owner didn't have enough hands, and asked us to help carry things.

A truckload of goods was tightly covered with cloth, and I only saw some black gravel that had been shaken out. "

"They have different shapes, but like this one, they are extremely smooth, and they will get dirty if you touch them."

"Afterwards, I heard from other workers that this guy's name is Heishi, and his boss is doing business in this area."

The more Chang Ping listened, the more interested he became: "Then what is the function of the black stone?"

"I heard it can light a fire." Chang Sanshi replied doubtfully.

"I'm not sure, anyway, this kind of thing is rarely seen, who knows if it can really make a fire!"

Chang Xi put on a happy face, and gave advice to Dad beside him: "Isn't it easy to know? Let's search in the soil, pick some up and burn them."

Anyway, if you burn a stone to verify it, it is not burning black gunpowder, and it will not cause unexpected dangers. If it can be ignited, it proves that it is a black stone.

Chang Xi thought so, and began to encourage everyone to dig together.

This time the digging was not for plowing the soil, but for picking up black stones.

They are buried in the lower layers of the ground, and if it weren't for the strength of the parents, who repeatedly turned the soil back and forth, it would be impossible for the hoe to go so deep.

After picking up four or five black stones, the whole family didn't bother to waste them in the field, and went home neatly.

Then they came out of their kitchens, all smiling.

"Haha! Our family is going to get rich!"

Although Chang Sanshi didn't know the market price of the Black Stone, he knew that his owner was doing this business cautiously, covering it with a cloth during the day, and the Black Stone must be making a lot of money.

Chang Xi was equally happy. It was indeed coal. It seemed that this piece of land had mineral resources, and her family had found the gift of nature.

I don't know if this piece of mineral resources is rich!

Chang Xi tugged on his father's sleeve: "Father, let's get some more, so we can save firewood when we burn it in the future, and save energy by not chopping firewood!"

For her, collecting and chopping firewood every day is hard work.

"Well, Chang Ping, Chang An! Chang Le! Come with me!"

They bounced out and came back with heavy feet.

Everyone's back baskets were full, and after wiping off the sweat, when they put down the back baskets, the clothes on the back of their summer shirts were already wet with sweat.

Wen Furong's face was full of smiles, and nothing went wrong after the separation.

There were surprises for several days in a row. She still remembered what the old village doctor said a few days ago.

This home is just right!She thought so too.

"I'll carry it to the town to sell it tomorrow!" Chang Ping touched his chin expectantly.

"I don't think it's appropriate!" Chang Xi categorically rejected the elder brother's proposal.

"Didn't dad say just now that the owner of Manxianglou must cover his business with a cloth for fear of people finding out?"

"We sold it with great fanfare. We don't know if we will offend anyone or get involved in some dispute."

Chang Sanshi and Wen Furong looked at their daughter in surprise, and Wen Furong's expression was even more complicated.

She knew best about her own daughter.

To say that at first she felt that it was because of her departure that the child grew up rapidly in life.

Now it seems that the growth is too fast?

When did her daughter learn to read people's hearts and consider the ways of the world?
"Xibao, come with your mother." Wen Furong called out in an unquestionable tone, and then walked into the room first.

Chang Xi also realized that her recent performance was too outstanding.

Her mother must have become suspicious, but she just endured until today.

She took the initiative to close the door and stand still: "Mom!"

"Xibao, you!" Wen Furong had a complicated expression, remembering that there were outsiders at home, she swallowed the questioning words, and hugged the child into her arms.

She asked in a voice so small that only two people could hear it.

"Xibao, too many things have happened recently, mother is a little messed up, can you tell mother yourself?"

The topic that Chang Xixin said he couldn't escape, still came up.

"Mother, in fact, there are many reasons why I was in a coma for three days."

Chang Xi first went through the words he had thought up in his mind, and felt that there was no better way, so he said it calmly to his mother's caring eyes.

"Mother, after you left home, my elder brother and younger brother and I haven't had enough to eat. Several times I almost thought I was going to starve to death!"

"I fainted, maybe I was hungry!"

These words were indeed the experience of the original owner before he fainted. How could a person faint after a dog bites him?
It should be that the original owner was often hungry, dizzy from being hungry, and they were bullied so hard that they fainted with anger!

"After I fainted, I didn't wake up because I had a strange dream! There was an old man with a white beard in the dream."

"We didn't talk, just watched him do a lot of things, watched him socialize with other people, as if it was real."

"He gave me a golden fish, and then I woke up, and you all know what happened next."

Chang Xi's words were mixed with truth and falsehood, she felt that the ancients were somewhat superstitious.

Let me first talk about the dream of the white-bearded grandfather as a foreshadowing, which is more convincing than directly saying that I dreamed that I might be a fish spirit.

Wen Furong first heard her daughter say that she was hungry and fainted, and her heart felt sore again and again, and her pupils widened slightly when she heard it behind her.

"Did you see what the old man with the white beard did?"

Chang Xi watched his mother believe a little bit, and then he was relieved: "He seems to be very powerful, he can do many things, and many people are looking for him."

"He kept ignoring me and was busy with his own business. At first I thought he couldn't see me."

"I don't know how long I watched it, maybe I was a little fascinated by it. When he gave me the fish, I didn't know that he could see me."

After hearing this, Wen Furong felt joy and sorrow. At first, she thought her daughter was in trouble, but now she doesn't.

Her daughter is fine, and she is more sensible and capable than before. Maybe she met a fairy and enlightened her?

Once she puts things in a positive light, Wen Furong stopped fussing about it, and looked at her daughter lovingly.

"Xibao, if you dream of the old man with a white beard in the future, remember to tell your mother!"

"Also, don't tell anyone other than your mother about this matter, not even your brother or younger brother!"

In Wen Furong's view, one less person knew about this matter, and one less potential danger.

The dream is too bizarre, misfortune and fortune are unpredictable!
"Okay! I'll remember it!" Chang Xi agreed softly, lying in her mother's arms, she felt very at ease, knowing that this matter was over.
