Qingyan thought of this and turned around to walk away.
Before he could make any move, an ugly voice came from his head.
Chou Chou sent a message to her: "Yanyan, Yanyan, I'm behind the house next to you. Don't move yet. Let me tell you, there are a lot of things in the coal mine.
There was no one there, there were no officers or soldiers guarding it, and there were no workers. The entire coal mine was empty. They must have all run away.
I confiscated the coal they had already dug. I collected a lot of coal in the cave so that even if they came over later, they wouldn't be able to see it. I should be careful!
Of course, the main reason is that there is not a lot of coal outside. It must have been transported away before, and there is only a small pile of coal left. If it is gone, it will be too obvious.
There were a lot of tools left over there, and I brought them back thinking you might be able to use them, such as a pointed iron for digging coal, a shovel, and a pestle. "
Qingyan's eyes lit up and she felt happy, she really got what she needed!
He quickly sent a message and asked if it had a hammer or something.
"Yes, yes, yes, I collected one of each in the space, and I also collected a small cart, but the cart was a little dirty, with cinders all over it.
These things, how do you think I should take them out? "
Chou Chou also thought that they would have to walk a long way, and they would not be able to carry anything with their bare hands along the way.
Walking for a long time with empty hands is very tiring, let alone carrying a heavy load. A cart is not enough for so many people, so I got one.
But how do we find a way to take it out now?
Qingyan was also a little worried. No matter how ignorant these villagers were, a monkey as small as Chou Chou could not get it back on its own no matter how strong it was or how big a car it was.
It's fair to say that it's okay to carry Tie Gao and the shovel and hammer back, but just drag them back.
Today's cars are not as lightweight as those of later generations, and the wheels are shockproof. Now they are all made of wood, which is not only heavy but also difficult to maintain balance.
At this time, I heard Chou Chou say again: "By the way, I still have something I haven't told you. When I came back before, do you know what I found?
There are wild donkeys on that mountain! This should be the northwest of China. It’s not surprising that there are wild ass, but it’s actually in the mountains. I really don’t know.
I always thought that wild donkeys lived in places like grasslands, just like wild horses. After all, donkeys also eat grass. "
Qingyan doesn't understand much about these things, but she knows that there are many donkeys in Xiangxiang Space, which her parents bought in the northwest more than ten years ago.
He said that there were donkeys and black goats there, and he deliberately bought many of them and put them in the space, intending to use them for meat.
It's just that after those donkeys entered the space, they ran to drink the spiritual spring water. After that, they became smart and humane, and often helped with work in the space, so they couldn't eat them.
As for the black goats, in order to prevent them from imitating donkeys and running away to drink water from the spiritual spring, Mom and Dad specially found a place with lots of water and grass by the lake and built a high fence to surround them.
Otherwise, I really can’t stop talking.
Now was not the time to think about these things. Qingyan retracted her thoughts and thought of a way.
He said to Chou Chou: "If you do this, you go to the mountains and catch a wild donkey. With your ability, you can definitely tame it and make it listen to you. Then you tie the cart to it and let it pull the cart back."
I remember that in space, you drove past the bullock cart that your father coaxed your mother to make. You should still remember how to make the bridle of the cart, right? "
Chou Chou recalled for a moment the bullock cart made by Qingyan's father, the way the bridle was put on the cart, and the tools in his space. He nodded and said, "No problem."
While thinking about it, he ran back to the mountain very quickly.
After solving the tool problem, Qingyan was relieved and watched where they were forging iron.
She thought she would give it a try when the tools came later.
I still remember my mother saying that my great-grandfather was a blacksmith by trade, and he previously opened a blacksmith shop in the capital.
It's a pity that neither my grandfather nor my second grandfather passed down this craft, because my great-grandfather didn't want them to suffer this hardship. He just wanted to provide them with education and make their lives easier in the future.
After all, as the old saying goes, there are three hardships in life: boating, forging iron, grinding tofu, and most people really can't bear this hardship.
Thinking of this, Qingyan wondered, does this count as inheriting the craftsmanship of her ancestors? Although it is said to be from my mother's side, it should still count.
Another hour passed, and Qingyan heard a donkey braying in the distance.
Yang Dashan and the others didn't hear it. After all, the tinkling of the blacksmith could cover it up. It was only because Qingyan had good ears that they heard it.
Until the braying of the donkey got closer and closer, several men stopped what they were doing in alarm and said to the women standing nearby: "Someone is coming, hurry! Hurry! Go hide in the cellar and listen. Don’t even make a sound!”
Then, each person took the large swords on the ground that had not been refined yet in their hands.
I practiced two before, and I have exactly five left, which is just enough to score points.
It's just that they don't know whether it's because the big knife is too heavy, or they are a little scared, and the knife in their hands is a little wobbly.
Seeing this, Qingyan quickly comforted her: "No need to hide, it's okay, Chou Chou should be back."
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Qingyan had no choice but to explain: "I'm afraid that you can't find coal or there's not enough coal, so I asked Chou Chou to go to the coal mine and have a look. I also told it that if there's someone watching there, forget it. If there's no one there, just take a look." Can you bring some tools back?"
This was also the excuse she had thought of before. She couldn't say that everything was Chou Chou's doing, right? Even the smart monkey is outrageous.
If her master had ordered it, then it would be possible.
However, the five people still held their swords up, with no intention of putting them down, and looked into the distance with defensive expressions.
Yang Dashan coughed, looked at Qingyan and said, "Ahem, it seemed like...a donkey brayed just now? Isn't that how Miss Xue's Chou Chou brayed?"
Qingyan was choked up at this moment, yes, how to explain this?
But there was no need to wait for her to explain. The braying of a donkey and the sound of gurgling wheels gradually appeared on the distant slope.
They looked in the direction of the sound and could already see the outline of the car clearly.
I saw a black-brown donkey pulling a cart approaching. Although I couldn't see clearly from a distance, I could still see that there was no one on the cart, but there were a lot of things piled high on the cart.
This was what Qingyan had said before, asking Chou Chou to put a few sacks of coal on top and put the tools in the car, so that it would be easier to explain.
When they got closer, Yang Dashan and the others discovered that Miss Xue's white-haired monkey was sitting behind the donkey's butt, holding a thin branch to drive the cart.
Everyone was confused, this monkey is so amazing! Can you even drive animals?
Then there was a look of surprise. That donkey was so majestic, it was almost catching up with the horse. This was no ordinary little donkey, it was a braying donkey!
