Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 44 The idea is good

"Brother Jianshan, is there a cave in Qiyun Mountain?" Su Lian asked while helping Zhang Jianshan make a trap.

"The cave?"

"It's the kind of drip hole, and there will be many stones like bamboo shoots growing on the top of the hole."

"Yes. There are several caves like the one you mentioned in this mountain." Zhang Jianshan knew the topography of Qiyun Mountain by heart, so he knew very well where the cave Su Lian mentioned was.He was just wondering why she asked about such a hole.

Su Lian asked: "Where is the nearest place? Brother Jianshan, can you show me there?"

"It's not far away. Why does Lian'er want to see it?" Zhang Jianshan asked.

"I heard that there are strange rocks in the cave, and there are huge boulders in the shape of various animals. It is a sight to behold. Lian'er has long wanted to see it." Su Lian said.

Zhang Jianshan half-believed this statement.

"The cave is indeed full of strange rocks, which is very scary. It's slippery and difficult to walk in. Lian'er is so timid, so don't go there." Zhang Jianshan said.

Su Lian smiled and said: "Lian'er is timid, but she is not so timid that she is afraid of a few stones." Su Lian said, "I have heard that this kind of cave is full of wonders, so I will bring Lian'er when I see Brother Shan. Go and see!"

Although Zhang Jianshan was puzzled, he couldn't stand Su Lian's coquettish pleading, so he agreed to take her to have a look.

Karst caves extend in all directions, and generally have several entrances.Zhang Jianshan knew that one of them was flat and easy to navigate, so he decided to take Su Lian to have a look at that one.

Turning around several mountain passes and wading through several streams, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and the two talked and laughed.Su Lian walked across the mountain road, her face was flushed, her lips were brightly colored, and even her eyes were full of lake light.Zhang Jianshan's mood also relaxed, and for a moment he forgot to find out why she insisted on going to see the cave.

When they reached the entrance of the karst cave, Zhang Jianshan gave Su Lian some instructions, and made two torches out of dry branches, and the two walked into the cave.

The ancient caves are completely different from the modern caves that have been transformed into scenic spots.The cave is wet and slippery; the head is dark again, and when it encounters a very narrow place, it is accidentally hit by a stalagmite.Zhang Jianshan was worried about Su Lian and kept holding her hand, but Su Lian didn't refuse at all.

Compared with what happened two days ago, she is obedient and obedient at this moment, and she does not refuse his touch at all.Sometimes her breath is close at hand, and he can't help being a little happy.

Su Lian has her own clear purpose.

The purpose of entering the mountain today is to find a very common and common thing.But she didn't know how to explain that thing and its usefulness to Zhang Jianshan.Originally suffering from not knowing how to express my purpose, I suddenly remembered that as long as there are caves, there must be such things.

Zhang Jianshan carefully protected her all the way, but her mind was all on observing those stalagmites.The cave is really difficult to walk, after walking more than ten meters, Su Lian said: "Brother Jianshan, this cave is not as beautiful as imagined, let's go out."

Zhang Jianshan wanted to go out at first, but upon hearing her suggestion, he immediately turned around and took her back the same way.

Walking out of the cave, there was a sudden gust of wind.Only then did Su Lian realize that the cave just now was really airtight.

"I told you something ugly, so you insist on coming." Zhang Jianshan noticed that Su Lian's shoes and socks were all wet, and worried that she would catch a cold, "Let's go down the mountain now."

Su Lian said, "No rush."

I saw her go outside the cave, use the bamboo stick in her hand to push away the chaotic grass in front of her, poking here and there, going deeper and deeper.

She seems to be looking for something.Zhang Jianshan followed suspiciously, and asked, "What is Lian'er looking for?"

"A kind of stone." Su Lian said, "very common stones. Some are big, some are small..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw a very large boulder blocking her eyes not far away, and a small tree grew on that boulder.

Su Lian forcefully opened up the messy grass in front of her eyes, and walked towards the stone.When she got closer, she reached out and touched the wet stone surface, then turned her head and smiled and shouted to Zhang Jianshan:

"Finally found!"

Zhang Jianshan followed and asked, "What did you find?"

Su Lian was very excited, and forgot to be careful, and blurted out: "This is limestone! As long as there are caves, there must be limestone!"

The principle of cave formation is that limestone has been corroded by water for a long time, and reacts with calcium dioxide in the air to form soluble calcium bicarbonate, which is carved by water droplets to form stalagmites of various shapes.

Therefore, as long as there are caves, there must be limestone.This kind of thing is very common, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and identified it with his own hands, Su Lian couldn't let Zhang Jianshan look for it with the scientific name of limestone.

"This stone is everywhere in the mountain, what's so strange about it?" Zhang Jianshan asked.

Su Lian smiled and said: "It's nothing unusual, but it's very useful. Burn this stone at high temperature to form lime. Lime can be used to repel poisonous insects, and there are many other uses."

"Lime?" Zhang Jianshan had never heard of lime, nor had he seen anyone burn the stone.How did she, the second miss of the Su family, know these things?

Su Lian didn't bother to explain, she squatted down, picked up the scattered gravel under her feet, and put it in Zhang Jianshan's back basket.

After a while, she picked up a basket full of stones.

Su Lian clapped her hands in satisfaction and said: "Okay, let's take this much first this time. Please see Brother Shan to carry these stones back."

Zhang Jianshan looked at the box of stones on the ground.

carry it back?
He had never done such a strange thing before.

"Lian'er, can you tell me first, what is the use of this stone?"

Su Lian smiled and said: "Didn't you explain it just now? Take it back and burn it in a high-temperature furnace, it can be turned into lime."

"What's the use of lime?"

Su Lian looked at the suspicious Zhang Jianshan.If she wants to do something, she will inevitably expose insights that she shouldn't have.These things will have to be resolved in the future, but fortunately, she sees that Brother Shan is an honest hunter in the mountains, so it shouldn't be difficult to fool her.

"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Lian'er doesn't know how to explain in detail now, but Lian'er can guarantee that as long as we have this thing, our family will live a good life just around the corner. See brother Shan and wait for Lian'er to make that thing When you come out, you will naturally understand." Su Lian said.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhang Jianshan understands most of it.Going to the mountain today is to avoid trouble, I am afraid that this girl has already thought about her purpose, and I have unknowingly entered her game, thanks to him just thinking about it for a while...

The burning of stones she mentioned sounds a bit like alchemy, but it doesn't seem to be the case-the little girl looks very vulgar, and she doesn't look like she wants to cultivate immortals at all.

Zhang Jianshan reluctantly picked up the box of stones and led Su Lian back along the way.

Perhaps because of guilt, the little girl cared for him on the way home, and even offered to wipe his sweat for him.Zhang Jianshan sneered in his heart and said: "This woman is full of business, if she continues to follow her way, her surname will be in vain."
