Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 160 The Strange Red Stone

Xu Xiaomi carried the colorful clothes on his back and took Xiaobailong with him on the way back to the city with the Qiu family and his son.

Xu Xiaomi was a little tired from being covered, and Xiao Bailong hurriedly stepped forward to change the colorful clothes onto his back and carried them away.

The Qiu family's father and son followed closely behind, and Qiu Zhongxiang was always rejoicing that Qiu Yongzheng met such a strange woman as Xu Xiaomi in his life.

If it weren't for getting to know her, the Qiu family army and people related to the Qiu family would have died in that rare snowstorm a few years ago, and they would have become unjust souls on Huangquan Road.

Some time ago, the army cut off food, if it wasn't for this girl who valued love and righteousness and sent food and grass in time, they would definitely not be able to persist until now.

Today, let alone today, if the girl hadn't arrived in time, the father and son would have died!He will also become the eternal sinner of the Qiu family.

Now, from his point of view, his son is very discerning. Tomorrow, no!I will fix a book after I go back tonight.

Write back to the capital, and ask my father to ask the matchmaker to propose marriage, so that he can send the dowry to Xu's family as soon as possible.

Thinking this way, Qiu Zhongxiang arrived at the gate of Dingzhou City before he knew it.

Xu Xiaomi heard Qiu Zhongxiang's heartfelt words, not only did she not feel repelled, but she actually had some small expectations.

In fact, Qiu Yongzheng followed behind, also thinking in his heart: Mi Mei saved our father and son again, and now I am already married, it is time to get married and have children.

Go back tonight and discuss with my dad. My marriage with Mi Mei should be finalized. If he doesn't mention marriage, a strange woman like Mi Mei will be snatched away!
He didn't say it before, it was because Mei Mei was still young, and he was afraid that speaking out would scare her.

Now, she has grown up to be as juicy as the water lotus, and she is a big girl. Isn't he guessing that the threshold of their house was trampled down by the nearby matchmaker?

Xu Xiaomi listened to what their father and son were saying, but for some reason, this time she didn't feel any discomfort or resentment.

Moreover, she still had the urge to snicker in her heart.She wondered if it had really been arranged in the dark?
well!Forget it!let it go!Anyway, now I am inseparable from the Qiu family, just like the Jia family, Wang family, Xue family and Shi family in the Dream of Red Mansions, all glory and loss.

The most important thing for her now is to tell the Qiu family how to prevent that stupid king from grabbing the handle of the Qiu family, so that she can avoid being implicated.

After returning to the city, the soldiers had prepared several pots of potatoes and were waiting for them to come back for dinner!
Xu Xiaomi really didn't expect that all these soldiers were so sincere.

After they returned to the gate of the city and knocked on the door, the soldiers saw the Qiu family father and son coming back with them.He was so happy that he hugged Qiu Yongzheng and Qiu Zhongxiang and threw them high.

Almost throwing Qiu Zhongxiang's bones apart, he hurriedly said loudly: "Don't make trouble! Don't make trouble! Put this general down, it's time to eat!"

When all the soldiers heard what Qiu Zhongxiang said, they caught them and put them firmly on the ground.

Xu Xiaomi asked everyone to wash their hands, and they all went to bed with potatoes to fill their stomachs. Today is really exhausting!

The next day, Xu Xiaomi got up early and made delicious pancakes and porridge for the soldiers.After everyone came back from morning exercise, after dinner, I began to teach them how to grow grass, potatoes and beans.

Xu Xiaomi stayed in Dingzhou for five days this time, which is the longest time she has lived in Dingzhou.

Qiu Zhongxiang was very happy to see that the potatoes he planted last time could be eaten. Although the Northwest is not as prosperous as the capital, it has a vast territory.

In addition, now that the people inside and outside the city have all left, there are many empty wastelands. As long as these lands are planted with grain, they will not be afraid that the people in the capital will cut off their grain and grass in the future.

Xu Xiaomi was about to leave again, and Qiu Yongzheng reluctantly sent them five miles outside the city before waving goodbye to them.

When parting, Xu Xiaomi said to him: "Brother Qiu! Take care! I've been here for a few days, why haven't I seen Qing Wu yet?"

Qiu Yongzheng looked at her and said, "Don't worry, we dug out a lot of potatoes that afternoon, and my father said that the emperor has spent a lot of time on military supplies over the years.

Not only did he withhold food and grass from our Dingzhou side, but he also withheld my elder brother and second brother from time to time, just to force us to do impulsive things when we couldn't help it.

My father said, it's not time to quarrel with him, so I asked Qingwu to deliver a letter to my elder brother and them, asking them to adopt your suggestion and grow food there, so we won't be afraid of him when we have surplus food.

When the time comes, slowly take out my grandparents and mother, and then push down those who want our lives at any time in one fell swoop! "

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi thought to herself: Now Qiu Zhongxiang has finally found her direction and goal, so she has to do something when she goes back this time, and don't have a weapon at hand when she gets into a fight.

They finally parted ways with Qiu Yongzheng, Xu Xiaomi and the others thought they would fly here.

However, Xiao Bailong was afraid of frightening Qiu Yongzheng, so he had no choice but to walk forward for a while, until Qiu Yongzheng was out of sight, they jumped up and flew into the sky.

Xu Xiaomi was worried that Caiyi would consume too much energy to save people, so she said while flying, "Caiyi, if you will lose strength if you stay here, you should tell me sooner! I will carry you behind my back!"

"Thank you, Master! Caiyi is fine, she just passed out that day because she was too tired, in fact... Detoxification is an increase in Caiyi's skill, Caiyi originally used to refine poison.

Therefore, Caiyi's skills have improved a lot in the past few days, this is all the grace of the master, Caiyi thanks the master! "

After hearing Caiyi's words, Xu Xiaomi said happily, "That's good: "In the future, as long as there is a poison solution, I will find you!"

Xu Xiaomi and the others didn't return to Qinglong Mountain until late in the evening. She still went to the five gold panning places habitually, watched their lives, and then brought back the gold that was panned for a few days.

Take the gold to Jin Yulian and use a mold to make a block like official gold, so that it can be taken out.

She knew that it was difficult to raise an army without money, and it was even more difficult to raise an army as large as the Qiu family's army.

She can teach them to grow food, but without money, she has to help them find a way.

This morning, Xu Xiaomi took Caiyi, Xiaobailong, and Xiaoxiang to do morning exercises.

They flew near the Tibetan summit and saw a red spot, so Xu Xiaomi flew down, and when it landed on the ground, it was a desolate place, within a radius of five miles, there was not a single tree, and the ground was full of red sand and stones.

Xu Xiaomi is very curious, why is this?It is surrounded by impenetrable woods.Not a single piece of grass grows here, so she reached out and grabbed a handful of the red sandstone, took it to her nose and sniffed it.

Why does it sound like a familiar smell?It smells like nitrate, yes!Just the smell of nitrate!Even the surface layer can smell such a strong saltpeter smell, so the bottom layer is...

Xu Xiaomi didn't dare to think about it anymore, she picked up two egg-sized stones and bumped them into each other, only to hear a "beep", and a thick white smoke rose from between the stones.

The white smoke is also accompanied by the thick smell of gunpowder smoke floating in the air after setting off firecrackers in the previous life.

Xu Xiaomi thought: Is there so much saltpeter here?Very good!Remember in her previous life, who told her that a simple method of frying explosives would work?
She wants to take it back and try it, if it's possible... Mmmmm!She asked her uncle to make some muskets for self-defense.

She asked Xiao Bailong to give her a bag, and as soon as Xiao Bailong stretched out his hand, there was an extra cloth bag in his hand.

Xu Xiaomi took it over, filled a large bag of stones, and ran towards Xujia Village with it!
Xu Xiaomi brought back the bag of red stones, and began to take out the sawdust left by his grandfather for making furniture and wooden cows.

She touched the red stone into powder, heated up the big pot, and put the sawdust and stone powder into the pot to fry.

When it's done, take a bamboo tube and put the fried sawdust and stone powder in it, add a hemp rope inside, fill it up and press it tightly, pull out some of the hemp rope to expose it, separate it with a layer of thick paper, and put a little mud on it Seal it.

Put it in a dry place, after the mud dries, Xu Xiaomi takes it to the woods at night, lights the hemp rope with a torch, and when the hemp rope burns in, after a while in this quiet night, I hear earth-shattering bangs a bang.

Xu Xiaomi was very happy, because just such a bamboo tube with poor sealing performance blew up a hole in the ground one person deep.

As powerful as that grenade, wouldn't it be more powerful if the shell was made of iron?

Ha ha ha ha!Xu Xiaomi couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart. If there was a real war, she had provided Qiu Yongzheng and the others with such advanced weapons, would that shitty emperor bow down to them?hehe……

The next day, Xu Xiaomi went there and got a lot of red stones back.

The loud noise that night scared away many birds, and at the same time attracted the shadow of Xu Xiaomi, the emperor's cronies, who was watching Xu Xiaomi nearby.

He wrote the incident of a loud noise on paper and sent it to the emperor in the capital by flying pigeons.

Seen by the little white dragon who has been with him for a long time, he flew up and reached out and grabbed the pigeon in his hand, tearing the two to pieces.

Caiyi, in order to prevent future troubles, directly hypnotized the shadow, erased all his memories, saw that his martial arts skills were preserved, and asked him to be a personal guard for Xu Hao.

Xu Xiaomi has been busy tinkering with explosives, leaving Xiao Bailong and Caiyi to inspect the business.

She fumbled out a simple grenade, drew a picture and asked her uncle to make an iron cylinder.At the same time, she drew the toy gun with plastic bullets that she played with in her previous life according to her memory.

I also changed the size, drew the shape of the bullet, and asked my uncle Zhou Jingtian to make five sets first.

Zhou Jingtian was most interested in these new gadgets, and he made them in two or three days after they got them, and asked Xiao Bailong and the others to bring them back to Xu Xiaomi.
