Chapter 123 Half-finished Fortress
"There are more than 30,000 kilograms of ore here. I can only give you one-third in exchange for food," Shen Xun said in a non-negotiable tone.
Since she was responsible for transporting the ore back and digging it, he got a huge advantage no matter what.
If he wants the same deal, he can also transport the ore to the exchange point himself.
"Okay," it's half a catty in the base, and one catty here in Shen Xun's place. Even if it's a third, it's still a profit.
"You know my previous exchange point, right?" Shen Xun took out his flashlight.
"Know".
"Go there tomorrow afternoon and I will bring the food there. Let's go," Shen Xun pushed the stone with his toes to seal the entrance of the cave.
The two returned to the roadside. Shen Xun touched his pocket and pretended to have dropped something on the road. "I seem to have dropped something on the road. I'll go look for it."
Shen Xun turned around and left. The little boy looked at Shen Xun doubtfully.
Walking to a place where he couldn't see him, Shen Xun called Laifu softly, "Laifu, Laifu".
She believed that Laifu must be following her nearby.
There was a noise in the grass not far away, and Laifu's huge figure jumped out. Shen Xun jumped up and said, "Let's go this way."
"Run faster," Shen Xun lowered his head and buried his face on Laifu's back. Laifu was going too fast, and the wind blowing on his cheeks was like a knife.
"Okay, okay, that's it, stop," Laifu stopped his limbs, Shen Xun quickly slid off Laifu's back, squatted down and pushed away the stone blocking the entrance of the cave.
Shen Xun jumped down, raised his hand and put all the ores in the hole into the space without falling. After coming out of the hole, he rode on Laifu and left quickly.
For about ten minutes, the little boy had been squatting on the side of the road waiting for Shen Xun, "Sister, have you found anything?"
"Found it," Shen Xun said casually, opened the door and got into the car. The little boy observed Shen Xun's face and got into the passenger seat.
On the way back, the sun slowly rose and the air became even hotter than at night. Shen Xun secretly stuffed a piece of ice into his mouth, and after holding it in his mouth for a few minutes, the ice melted.
It took a whole night to go back and forth. Shen Xun cheered up and said, "Get off the car, we are not going along the way."
The truck turned onto the intersection, one going to the base and the other going to the mountains. Shen Xun looked at the road back. She just wanted to go back and sleep now.
The little boy got out of the car with a bag containing sweet potatoes and stood on the roadside watching Shen Xun's truck go away, raising flying dust all over the roadside.
It was early in the morning, and there were still many people driving into the mountains. Shen Xun avoided the vehicles at the base and drove the truck into the dense forest to collect it.
Seeing Shen Xun put away the car, Laifu ran to Shen Xun, took out Laifu's water basin from the space, and Shen Xun added a dozen pieces of watermelon ice to it.
After being thirsty all night and running so far, Laifu's throat almost started to smoke. Shen Xun took out a folding stool and sat aside to wait for Laifu.
After drinking, there were water droplets on his beard. He shook Laifu twice and stuck out his tongue to lick it.
"go home".
There were still a small number of red-shelled ants squatting outside the thorn forest. The mint that had grown last night had been dried to death by the scorching sun. Shen Xun reached out and picked out a mint leaf and held it in his hand.
Gently pinch it on the leaves, and the leaves will make a crisp sound and turn into powder. Even the water in the roots will be evaporated by the high temperature and all will die.
Laifu lay paralyzed on the ground. Shen Xun took out the frozen animal meat and put it in a basin. Laifu stood up and squatted by the basin to eat.
Before finishing the pickled fresh food last night, Shen Xun took out the porridge and had breakfast with the fresh food.
Two ice cubes were added to the basin, and the air conditioner fan was directed at the bed to blow cool air. Shen Xun lay on the bed and took out the alarm clock, set the alarm clock for two o'clock in the afternoon, and fell asleep.
I struggled all night.
Laifu had breakfast and wandered around the thorn forest until he killed the last red-shelled ant, then slowly went back to rest.
The alarm clock rang at two o'clock in the afternoon. Shen Xun reached out to press the alarm clock. His consciousness sank into space, and Shen Xun began to smelt the ore.
There was a great harvest last night. According to the desired shape, Shen Xun squeezed the ore liquid out of the shape of the fortress. The walls and the flowing liquid gradually took shape.
Even half of the wall's ore was used up before it was refined. Shen Xun knew that the wall was a big project.
According to the current progress of ore collection, the wall will not be completed in three months, mainly because the materials used are relatively scarce and are made entirely of ore.
The refined wall was taken out of the space and connected to the bottom of the pit. The unfinished fortress looked like ruins.
Sitting on the recliner and enjoying the cool breeze, Shen Xun's consciousness sank into space, growing vegetables, harvesting them, and picking up eggs. The piglets born in the extreme cold have grown up a lot now.
The grass on the mountains is lush and green, and the grass on two hills has been eaten away, and Shen Xun has given birth to some more.
After dinner, the sun was halfway down in the sky. Shen Xun took out the truck and loaded the little boy's portion of food into the truck.
There is half a bag of rice alone, and even more sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Buzz, buzz, buzz came from all around the house. Shen Xun stopped wiping the sweat from his forehead and looked up.
