()Chapter 33: Xijin Wasteland

Yi Dongshi and Li Yan went all the way to the southwest, and Yi Dongshi resumed her happy life of stroking Li Yan's beautiful nai to sleep.

Since there was no spirit crane accompanying him this time, the speed was naturally much slower. King Lu Xian did not think that anyone could harm Yi Zi and did not send anyone to see him off, so this happy day with no one to disturb appeared. It was just that

However, Li Yan had to wash her own clothes every day and cook. She was not used to being a housewife from a day girl who was used to being served by others. There was nothing she could do about it. In this era, she could be taken on the road for a long time.

There was no dry food to eat, so he had to cook every day. Moreover, the commerce was still very underdeveloped, and there were no hotels or other places to stay on the road. At this time, Yi Dongshi's gentleness and consideration for his wife came into play, and there was nothing like other big names in this era.

Men take a bystander attitude towards these cooking matters and leave it all to women. Instead, they often take the initiative. Li Yan, who is not very good at doing these things, has become a helper. Seeing her husband, who is still a child, doing these things,

It would be a lie if Li Yan was not moved. So along the way, Li Yan's love for Yi Dongshi became deeper and deeper, and her heart was completely attached to Yi Dongshi. It was not because he didn't regard these things as a big deal when he was still young.

As an experienced person, Yi Dongshi secretly observed and saw that his efforts were recognized by Li Yan step by step, and he was very happy. He didn't want his wife to only get her body but not her heart, and he also wanted to take what he had stolen.

Just develop feelings slowly.

Before the trip, King Xian gave Yi Dongshi and his wife four war horses, which they could ride in turns and transport their belongings, including pots, pans, and tents. Although the scenery along the way was beautiful, it did not delay the trip.

The Queen of Heaven arrives at Xijin Wasteland.

Seeing large pieces of black stone, Yi Dongshi was almost certain that it was coal. Afraid that the two worlds were a little different, to be safe, he picked up some dead branches, took out the flint and ignited it, and smashed some small pieces of the black stone into place.

On top, it also caught fire for a while. He poured water from the water bag to put out the fire. Yi Dongshi jumped up with joy, hugged Li Yan's neck and kissed Li Yan, in exchange for a burst of pink punches from Li Yan.

The two of them played around for a while, then got on their horses and headed further west. After walking west for half a day, the horses had already traveled more than a hundred miles before the coal mines disappeared. They continued south, and in the evening it was another hundred miles.

I finally got out of the coal area. In this earth with poor coal resources, there is such a God-given open-pit coal mine. I don’t believe it even if I think it is a fortune. I still don’t know how thick the coal seam is, so I have to decide to mine in this wasteland.

When camping, you have to leave your body to see it at night.

Fortunately, Yi Dongshi had other gains that could make up for the loss of the hardships along the way. Although the coal mine did not produce food, there were still some weeds. Among the weeds, Yi Dongshi discovered a dried watermelon vine and

Although some watermelons that have not completely rotted look relatively small, no one on the earth has started to plant them. It is always beneficial to take them back to Yijiazhuang to plant them. There are about tens of thousands of watermelon seeds taken out, so there was a delay on the way.

It took a lot of time. Next year you can eat watermelons, especially watermelons grown in sandy areas, which are very sweet. It just so happens that the land of Great China except for the Gobi is sandy land. Watermelons seem to be tailor-made for Great China.

Yes, there is another way to get rich. However, watermelon is not a necessity. It needs businessmen to operate it to have a chance to make a fortune. It seems that I will discuss it with Mi Jianghe when I go back to see if I can get both his father and son to come to Great China.

In order to prevent wild beasts from harassing them, the two of them built two fires outside the coal area, with people between the two fires. In addition to scaring the wild beasts, the fires can also block the cold air in the winter. In fact, the two of them are not afraid of wild beasts now.

I'm not afraid of the severe cold anymore, but to reduce trouble, it's worth building two fires.

Yi Dongshi's soul left the body and things were settled quickly. The coal seam is more than 700 meters thick in places and more than 20 meters in thin places. Perhaps when the coal is mined, the largest freshwater lake on Crescent Island will appear.

The iron ore on several Huangshi Islands in the Dahua Kingdom should also be smelted, at least they dare not dig down, otherwise the island will be gone. It seems that there is still some coal left to smelt the iron ore on Tieling Mountain, but it is a pity.

The iron ore in Tieling Mountain is not yours.

Early the next morning, the two of them set off to the southeast, heading for Yijiazhuang. They had been away from home for a long time, and it was time to go back early. On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the two finally returned to Yijiazhuang. Unfortunately,

It's Li Yan's twentieth birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month, which is one day later than Yi Dongshi's birthday. Both of them spent their birthdays on horseback. Yi Dongshi's own birthday, forget it, he is nine years old, and there is nothing he can do anyway.

It was a celebration, but it was Li Yan’s 20th birthday. She could have had a grand celebration, but now it was ruined.

The next day, Yi Senshi sent Fuwang to Qiming County to inform Gong Quan that the black stone was what he wanted and it would be shipped next month. To show his sincerity, he could first give 500 spears to him next month.
