Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1756
Liu Ya said: "Originally, I planned that the old house could store some firewood and be used as a warehouse. But now the whole house is deserted, so why keep an old house? You can find someone to demolish it."

Chun Niu asked Liu Ya to eat first, and now she is looking for some people to come over.Taking advantage of their time to go up the mountain during the day, these people were asked to tear down the old house and clear out the yard.

Liu Ya said "hard work" and asked Chun Niu to do it.

Siping originally wanted to follow, but Chun Niu was afraid of his hard work and let him stay.

In fact, Chunniu didn't want Siping to go to the village to see Siping's thin appearance and sick face.

Some people just like to gossip about their affairs. Although Chun Niu doesn't care too much, she still feels uncomfortable in her heart.

After a while, Chun Niu came with a few people, all acquaintances in the village, and they were usually relatively honest.After arriving, he greeted Liu Ya and went to work.

Chun Niu also said: "I have already said hello to San Gouzi's father, and said that after the demolition of the house is finished, he will use a carriage to clean up all the grass in the yard. The foundation of the yard will be leveled again, and it will be neat when I come back at night." gone."

Liu Ya felt that Chun Niu was really reliable in her work, and she didn't need to worry about anything.

After dinner, there was no need to lock the door if someone was working in the yard, so Liu Ya went up the mountain with Chun Niu and the others.

Mu Qingyu also followed, and he didn't know what these people were going to do. Anyway, he thought that by helping Liu Ya well, she would be able to say more good things to him, so he seemed very enthusiastic.

Chun Niu said: "I asked again yesterday, and said that the snake is on the other side of the mine. But in the deeper mountains, let's go directly to the mine."

Liu Ya asked, "Is the mine still mining? Will it have any impact on the village?"

Chun Niu laughed as soon as she heard it, and said: "It doesn't matter what, but many men in the village want to work in the mine because the wages are high."

Liu Ya also didn't intend to go to the mine to take a look. She didn't know anything about mining, and it was useless to see it.Anyway, the smelter is in the capital, so as long as the silver comes out, she doesn't care what kind of ore it is.

After walking up the mountain for a while, you can see a newly opened road.Because of the steepness of the mountain, carts and horses cannot be used. Only pickers keep picking out ores and loading them on horse-drawn carts to transport them away.

But these people, no matter whether they were drivers or ore pickers, kept silent and looked very serious.

Liu Ya asked Chun Niu, "Are you still so nervous about mining?"

Chun Niu glanced at it, and replied: "It's not that I'm nervous, it's because all the silver ore is produced here, and the supervisors are very strict. They are not allowed to hide it privately, and they are not allowed to make a statement. They must be silent when they are working."

After walking a short distance, Siping took the lead and turned on another path, heading deep into the mountains.

Chunniu explained: "That road can only go to the small fork. Further up is the official land boundary. Except for official miners, no one is allowed to approach casually. Even the family members of miners are not allowed to go casually." Go forward, eat and live inside, only have a day off every once in a while, and search when you come out."

Liu Ya nodded and said nothing.In fact, she felt that there was no need to be so nervous, even if she took a bag of ore, she might not be able to refine a few coins.

But this must be the official mining rule. Gu Shangqing asked Cang Qianche to take over the job at the beginning, probably because of the strict control of the silver mine.

The road they walked was vaguely discernible at first as a path trodden by people. After walking for a while, they entered the woods.

Siping raised his head to look ahead, said "Ahhh" twice, and pointed to the front for a while.

Chunniu looked at it and explained: "Siping said that he has to go a little further in to get to the place where he was bitten by the snake. But let you be careful now, maybe there will be snakes around here too."

Liu Ya nodded, and said: "Since the distance is not far away, everyone should pay attention now. We are looking for a snake. It was more than two feet long and bright yellow more than half a year ago. Be careful not to be bitten by it. .because it appears to be non-toxic, but it is actually poisonous."

After Liu Ya finished speaking, she casually broke a branch and held it in her hand, then said, "Don't worry if you find it, don't hurt it. Tell me, I'll try to catch it."

Among the group, only Dongzi agreed.Aning never spoke much, Mu Qingyu just nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Chunniu and Siping are very aware of the importance of the snake, and of course they won't kill it easily if they find it.

Several people continued to walk in the direction of Siping leading the way, but they did not get together, but scattered a little distance apart.

It was not easy to search for a snake in the deep mountains, and the few of them were just trying their luck.

Although they searched carefully, they didn't hold much hope.So no one was particularly anxious, looking left and right, and kept tapping the grass around him.

Just like this, I walked and searched slowly, and it took me more than an hour to arrive at the place Siping said.

Siping also deliberately walked back and forth twice, carefully identified the location, and then nodded to confirm that he was bitten by a snake here.

Then Siping also pointed to a protruding tree root on the ground, and gestured that after he was bitten, he sat on it to check the wound.

Liu Ya raised her head to look at this direction, it was deep in the mountains, and the trees were very dense, such a semi-shady environment is indeed a place where snakes often move.

Liu Ya asked Siping again: "Did the snake climb down from the tree, or did it swim on the ground?"

Siping pointed to a tree, indicating that the snake hung down from above, and then climbed to the ground.Because of the fast speed, it was too late for Siping to hide when he found the snake, so the snake sprinted on the ground and bit his ankle.

Liu Ya reminded everyone again: "The surrounding area is a key area. You should not only pay attention to your feet, but also your head. Now spread out and search in groups of two. One person pays attention to the branches above the head, and the other searches the feet. We Meet here every other hour."

Of course Chunniu was in a group with Siping, Dongzi was in a group with Mu Qingyu, and Liu Ya was naturally accompanied by Aning. The six of them were divided into three groups and started looking for each other.

Generally speaking, the group of Chunniu and Siping is the weakest, so Liu Ya told Chunniu and the others not to be too far away from her, so that they could take care of them conveniently.

In this way, I searched for another three hours, and saw that it would be dark in less than an hour.
