I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 6 The meat and the hot kang head are all on the mountain!

According to historical records, China has a history of burning coal as early as thousands of years ago.

Until the Song Dynasty, it was very common to use coal to make iron, and the porcelain industry also used coal as fuel.People in some places also used coal instead of firewood as the main fuel for their lives. For example, in the city of Bianjing at that time, "millions of households all relied on coal, and there was no burner."

However, due to the blockage of transportation and information in ancient times, the small mountain village in this remote area did not know that this black stone could be burned.

Coal mines are areas where human beings exploit coal resources in coal-rich mining areas, and are generally divided into underground coal mines and open-pit coal mines.

When the coal seam is far away from the surface, it is generally selected to excavate the coal by digging the roadway underground, which is an underground coal mine.

When the distance between the coal seam and the surface is very short, it is generally chosen to directly strip the surface soil layer to excavate coal, which is an open-pit coal mine.

And open-pit coal mines will also be exposed to the ground due to various reasons such as earthquakes and landslides.

What my grandfather said just now, because of the landslide, it should be an open-pit coal mine with a shallow buried layer.

This is one of the few pieces of good news for him who is in deep trouble.Because, there is no need to dig down.

While adding charcoal, my grandfather stared at him curiously and asked, "Why are you looking for this kind of black stone?"

"Burn! This kind of black stone can be ignited just like charcoal, and can be used for cooking! Moreover, it is much more resistant to burning than charcoal!" Guo Yi explained as a matter of course.

"What? Can it be burned? Cook on fire?"

Grandpa's face was full of disbelief, like looking at a fool: "Stones can also be lit?"

This baby, is it possible that she is stupid in reading?
"In Tokyo, many big families use this kind of black stone as fuel to cook and keep warm. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Zhao."

Although the mother and the third aunt were concubines of a wealthy family, they were still the masters anyway, so it would be useless to ask them about such trivial matters as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

And Zhao Tieshuan at the door, hearing his question, nodded hurriedly and responded: "Yes, what the second young master said is right. Many big houses are made of coal. It looks like charcoal on the outside, but it feels like charcoal to the touch. Like a rock."

After listening to his words, grandpa raised his brows in surprise, but his face still had a look of doubt.

This overturned his cognition for so many years, the stone can still burn?
Guo Yi didn't care about his doubts, and continued to ask: "Where is the low and shallow mountain stream you mentioned on the 'Luming Mountain'?"

"Go up the mountain along the 'Xilin River'. It's on the southern slope of the first ridge. It's not far away, but the road is not easy to walk." Grandpa put down the bamboo basket and explained in detail.

Grandma didn't understand what they were saying, but when she heard that they were going up the mountain, she immediately became strict: "There are big worms and other beasts on the mountain! You two are not allowed to go up the mountain!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, his mother, Guo Yangshi, followed closely and said: "Your grandma is right, the mountain is too dangerous, you two children, you are not allowed to go up the mountain!"

Not going up the mountain?
Do you want charcoal or no charcoal, or coal or no coal?
There is not much to eat and drink, how will I live this winter?
Can a living person be suffocated by a tiger?
Although the old man was also kind, Guo Yi could not agree: "Mother, grandma, the child is about to reach the age of the weak crown, and he is not too young. The child of a poor family has already taken charge of the family by this time.

But now, with his father gone, the child is the breadwinner of the family.Food, clothing, housing, and transportation should no longer be left to the mother.

The child can no longer continue to hide under the mother's wings, and the mother can protect her from the wind and rain. "

"Woooo..."

Before he finished speaking, his mother covered her cheek with her sleeve, sobbing softly.

At this moment, everyone else in the room fell silent.

This is a heavy topic.

Guo Yi couldn't bear it: "However, I promised my mother that Zhuzi and I will not enter the mountain alone in the future. I will persuade Uncle Erjie and the others to enter the mountain together!"

Grandpa nodded and didn't say another word, which was considered to have agreed to his behavior.

Fish soup for dinner, plus brown rice mixed with rice bran, and a bowl of pickles made with unknown wild vegetables.

As for those who are not nutritious, I can't take care of them at this time, and it is already very good to fill my stomach.

After eating, Guo Yi couldn't wait to return to his room in the East Wing.I plan to study the dog system carefully.

The first is 'Qiangshen Dan', a black oily pill that looks a bit like Liuwei Dihuang Pill.

He took it under his nose and smelled it, but there was no special smell, it seemed to be some herbal medicine.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should eat the food given by the stranger.

Uh, I have nothing now, is there anything else to be deceived?
No way, can this dog system still miss my body?

With this thought in mind, he closed his eyes and threw it into his mouth like an appointment.As soon as the pill was in the mouth, it immediately turned into a stream of liquid and slipped into the stomach.

Then, there is no more...

All over the body, there is no reaction.He didn't become a superman who wears underwear on the outside; nor did he have the feeling that the immortal cultivator opened up the second channel of Ren and Du as in the legend.

I just feel that my legs and feet are no longer so flimsy, and the cold air around me is no longer so icy cold.

call!
Not the world of high martial arts...

Ok!

He took a long breath, stabilized his mind, and then took out the 'Strengthening Body and Fitness Technique'.

There are not only text explanations on it, but also illustrations.

I once remembered that during the military training in junior high school, I also practiced military boxing for a few days.It is very similar to the action drawn in the illustration, but some places have been changed.

"Ding! Perseverance series mission trigger: keep fit! The body is the capital of the revolution, and having a strong body is the foundation of action.

Task: Insist on exercising continuously every day: 200 sets of push-ups, 200 sets of sit-ups, 200 sets of squats, practice 10 times of "body strengthening technique". "

"Start with 20 groups per day and gradually increase. The exercise should be done step by step."

"The rewards are settled monthly, and comprehensively increase physical functions, including speed, strength, willpower, acuity, responsiveness, memory, and so on."

He is in such a good body now, two months ago he was the charming young master of a wealthy family, his limbs were not working hard, and he could not distinguish the five grains.That is, they dress and wash every day, and they are served by servants.

The typical clothes come to stretch out one's hand, and meals come to open one's mouth.

Not to mention 200 sets of push-ups, even 20 sets are extremely difficult.

But there is no way, in this era when the common cold and fever may cause death, only a strong body can live to the end of old age.

It took more than an hour, until it was dark, to complete today's task.

Then, like a dead fish, he lay limp and limp on the bed, panting vigorously, and the clothes on his body were already drenched with sweat.

As soon as the breath calmed down, my mother opened the cotton curtain, walked in with an oil lamp and a charcoal basin, and said softly, "The bed is cold, don't lie down, put the charcoal basin under the quilt to warm up."

Guo Yi stood up helplessly, with some headaches.

He only has a thin quilt, which belongs to the kind of white board equipment without any attribute bonus, at most 'defense power +1'.

When going to bed at night, I had to take off my coat and put it on the quilt.Adding a layer of defense is better than nothing.

And the charcoal basin brought by my mother is a green equipment with a temporary 'fire attribute' bonus.Before midnight every day, after the 'fire attribute' bonus expired, there was no warmth at all.

There is no way, because the thick quilts are all given to younger brothers and sisters.

Go up the mountain!

Must go up the mountain!

Meat and hot kangtou are all on the mountain!
