Don't panic when fleeing famine, she has become the godmother of all the bosses

Chapter 14 Saltpeter Powder

But then again, they were fleeing famine.

They walked to a deserted village and didn't intend to stop at first, but Cheng San took a look at the houses in the depths and told Shu Yan to stop.

He himself took a dagger and walked deeper into the village.

Shu Yan was worried, so she followed.

I saw that the houses here are very old, and all of them are made of fired stone bricks. Perhaps as the years get older, a lot of white powder has grown on the stone bricks.

I saw Cheng San scrape off the powder.Received it in the bag very carefully.

Shu Yan couldn't help but thought: One sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoals?Is this for black powder?

Cheng San glanced at Shu Yan, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Cheng San: The godmother knows this is black powder?

Although Shu Yan didn't say anything, she felt a little proud in her heart. She studied chemistry in college in her previous life, although she didn't end up working in related work.

But when she came to this world, she didn't know anything.

This time Cheng San took out a fire bag that had been broken long ago from his bosom. Shu Yan looked at Cheng San curiously. Come down from the stage and find some charcoal fire.

Shu Yan watched as Cheng San rolled up those things, stuffed them with a fire, and lit them with a flint and steel.

A brand new Huozhezi is ready.

Shu Yan couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "You are very capable of doing things, but it's a pity that you are fleeing disaster now. If you can find a place, maybe you can make fertilizer."

Cheng San was taken aback for a moment, and he looked at Shu Yan curiously.

Cheng San: "What kind of fertilizer is the godmother talking about? Is it delicious?"

Shu Yan coughed lightly, holding back the sarcasm that came out of her mouth.

Shu Yan said: "It is different from the fertilizer used by farmers to grow crops, but it is a fertilizer with better effect, and it can be applied on a large scale."

Cheng San opened his eyes wide, and he touched his chin.

"If there is such a thing, I will sell it to the landlord, then I will get rich, and I will be able to go back to the countryside and marry eighteen wives."

Shu Yan was a little helpless, she originally wanted to mention this kid, after all, this kid recognized herself as a godmother and wanted to take him on the road, but he was full of eighteen wives, he was really worthless.

Shu Yan said: "Eighteen wives, you are not afraid of being exhausted to death."

Cheng San's hands kept moving, but he said on his mouth: "Dear mother, look at my body, the people who can survive in our place are basically born with good health, my body is very good, and my family is hungry I'm dead, I didn't starve to death."

What Cheng San said was extremely flat, as if it didn't happen to him.

Shu Yan looked sideways, and she asked in a low voice, "Then how did you grow up?"

Cheng Sandao: "After my parents died, I entered the temple and became a monk for a year. Later, a pilgrim saw that I was outstanding, so he bought me to be a servant at home. I lived in the pilgrim's house for three years. I read the book, but the pilgrim was not a big family, and then there was a peasant uprising in that place, and the rebels killed his whole family."

Shu Yan couldn't help frowning, this kid's life experience is really rich, no wonder his personality background is so complicated.

Cheng San seems to have opened up the chatterbox.

Cheng San: "The leader of the rebel army saw that I was still young, so he took me with him and taught me a lot, but the leader of the rebel army was killed by the court, and I spent several months in prison. , The Han army came again, and I was forced to follow the Han army."

This sentence made Shu Yan a little helpless, this kid would die if he didn't shake his wits.

Shu Yan looked at the extremely complicated young man in front of him, and asked an inexplicable question.

Shu Yan said, "Your name is Cheng San?"

Cheng San looked at Shu Yan fixedly, and he said, "Godmother can also call me Ah San, or Xiao San San."

Shu Yan said, "Go to hell with me."

Cheng San had already dealt with what he wanted to do, he stood up and walked to Shu Yan, who was much taller than Shu Yan.

Cheng San: "I'm called this name because I'm the third person in our family, and everyone else is dead."

Shu Yan, she thought of a lot of messy things.

Later, when she was on the road, because she was always distracted and fell down, Cheng San asked Shu Yan to sit on the donkey.

Shu Yan sat on a tall donkey, and in the distance was an endless wilderness. This was originally the most fertile area in the south of the Yangtze River, but due to the extremely harsh land annexation and years of wars, the grass on the ground has been replaced several times. stubble.

Little Yu'an was walking on the road, reciting poems very hard.

The spring breeze is blowing in the distance, the weeds and flowers are swaying with the wind, the sunset is falling on the river in the distance, and there are children reciting poems. It is not a bad scenery.

But Shu Yan's heart was covered with a shadow.

Some time ago, she hadn't thought about it, never thought that God would throw her a useless modern person into ancient times, and wear it on an old lady who had already married and had children.

What is the purpose.

Although Shu Yan is an atheist, since something that cannot be explained by science happened, it should be explained.

She must have come to this world with some great mission.

Others usually experience love-hate entanglements when they time travel, but she feels that she should not have to go through it.

Then what is she doing in this world.

Just when Shu Yan fell into deep thought, Cheng San suddenly called out.

"Godmother, why don't you come down for a while? Don't tire the donkey."

Shu Yan jumped down neatly, and then secretly cursed.

You can't just come here to be a godmother.

They rushed to the middle of the night, the place was in the wild, and they couldn't find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so they had to find a big tree, spread their bedding rolls, and use it as a temporary residence.

But as soon as he sat down, Shu Yan saw a shining bald cup not far away.

Naturally, they are monks who sleep in the wilderness.

Cheng San hurriedly said to several people: "We'll be having dinner later, so that the old bald donkey won't come over and beat the autumn wind."

Shu Yan couldn't help feeling that it's good to be young, but he could tell that he was an old monk.

But the old monk seemed to have grown ears, so he stood up and trotted towards them.

I saw that the old monk was wearing a shabby cassock, his old face was like withered bark, and the flesh on his eyelids was about to fall off.

But the old monk said very familiarly: "Several benefactors, I wonder if it is possible to give me a fast meal."

Xiao Yu'er took out the dried fish that had already turned black from the bag.

Then he said innocently, "Master, we only have dried fish."

The old monk clasped his hands together and said only one word, Amitabha.

"Amitabha, follow the authority in a hurry, the fish will pass through the belly, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart."

In desperation, Shu Yan had no choice but to set up the pot, then dug some wild vegetables nearby, and cooked them whole together, and let the old bald donkey get rid of it first.

But the old monk said with a smile on his face that it was delicious after eating the dried fish that was as hard as slippers.

Shu Yan said in his heart that this old monk really has a thick skin, and he deserves to live a long time.
