Lin Yan, who was obsessed with the fields every day, had no time to think about anything else.
During dinner, he heard Hua Hong talk about organizing people to go to the mine, and then Lin Yan remembered that he hadn't gone mining yet this year.
The ore is thought to be in high demand, but the distance is too great. It takes more than three months to go back and forth each time, which is time-consuming and laborious, but the ore brought back is limited.
"Aren't you going to follow this time?" Huahong looked at Lin Yan, fearing that she would go to the mine again. She was worried about her last year, because she was afraid that something would happen to Lin Yan outside.
Hua Hong doesn’t want to go through it again.
After thinking about it, Lin Yan shook his head and said, "I won't go this time. I want to keep an eye on the wheat seedlings in the field."
Huahong breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that Kurotsuchi is still leading the team, and most of the people who are going are old people. There are also some young guys who want to go, but they haven't decided yet. Alan also wants Lan Yue to go with her, saying it is to train her, so I will I don’t understand. Lan Yue is not even ten years old yet, so what kind of exercise can she do outside? It’s so dangerous, so it’s better to wait until she grows up, is strong, and has the ability to protect herself before going.”
"Aniang is right, but children are always curious about the outside world. People who have never been there want to go out and explore. Lan Yue can do a lot of things if he follows."
Lin Yan won't stop Lan Yue even if he doesn't go. If Mai Miao wasn't really important, she would have followed him.
Thinking of the survey situation after returning last time, Lin Yan hurriedly sorted it out and took it to find Heitu and Lan Yue. They could try to change the route and save time.
Although yellow paper has been made, its output is limited. Bai Chen gave some to Lin Yan, and she drew the route on the paper, marking the direction and the places she had traveled before.
After hearing Lin Yan's intention, Kurotsuchi looked at the route map carefully, pointed at a place and said, "You want us to go here and bypass this section of the road."
"Yes, I have walked through it twice and made several detours here. I have observed that area. The terrain is flat and there are no ravines. If you go directly from here, you will save at least five days. There are also these places, This is the case. You go through it this time and let Blue Moon take notes. In the future, you will go to the mine frequently and find a convenient way to save time and cost."
"You're right. Who would want to take a long detour if there is a shortcut? This road map is so useful. This time I will lead the team to take a new route."
Kurotsuchi looked at the route map carefully and put it away with great care. Looking at Lan Yue, "Do you really want to go together? I've been there twice and the route is familiar. It should be okay."
Lan Yue said, "My perception is sharp and I can detect danger. There is no harm in bringing me along. Besides, I seem to have good luck. I always encounter good things. There is no loss in bringing me along."
She likes to wander outside. Although there are many crises, her heart is happy. I also like the management of the military and want to join the military when I grow up.
Of course, this is just her inner thought. No one knows that Lan Yue has such thoughts yet.
Heitu also knew that what Lan Yue said was true. Although she was young, she had mental power. She was the strongest person in the tribe except Lin Yan. He was a little worried that such a talent had to take risks.
Seeing this, Lin Yan said, "If Lan Yue wants to go, let her go. If there is nothing important to do, I will go too. How many people do you plan to bring this time?"
"Lead a hundred people, all experienced veterans. The military department is temporarily handed over to Shi Yong, the captain of the first squadron, and daily training and hunting will not stop."
….
Kurotsuchi has already made arrangements for the military department.
From its establishment to now, more than half a year has passed, and the military has formed its own management model. Daily training is very difficult, and hunting is often used for training, which has made a great contribution to Sun City.
On weekdays, some people are reluctant to kill domestic rats and rabbits, so they make money to buy the meat they bring back from hunting. The military department also made a contribution to the treasury.
Lin Yan looked at Lan Yue, "Remember to find something good and bring it back to me. If you encounter wheat again, you must bring it back."
"I know, you've already said it once." Lan Yue said with a smile, "When I come back, the wheat should be mature. I hope to see the surprise you mentioned."
Lin Yan was full of confidence, "It will definitely happen." The second crop of wheat has been planted and will mature in four months. She guards it with all her heart every day and never allows for mistakes.
It wouldn't work if we didn't guard it. Since more and more land was opened, the number of birds has increased and they often come to the fields to steal food.
Lin Yan was afraid that the birds would give her wheat to Huo Huo.
On April 20, the mining team set off, and the whole city watched them leave.
This time the team was more fully equipped, and each person was equipped with weapons, including broadswords, axes, spears, bows and arrows, etc.
Most of the second batch of ore transported back was used to make weapons, and a small part was made into iron pots and other tools. There are not many ores available today.
Looking at the people walking away, Lin Yan felt worried. When I was in the team, I just felt like I was going to a new place and I was excited. But watching them leave was a different feeling.
Huang Ying stood next to Lin Yan and whispered, "You must feel bad. You can also feel how we feel every time we see you leave."
"I feel quite complicated. I'm worried about them." Lin Yan sighed softly, "It's really not easy for you. How is your Azu's health?"
Huang Ying shook her head, "It's not good. I probably won't be able to hold on for long. I fell asleep from time to time in the past few days, and I relied on the wild ginseng you brought back to keep me awake."
Huang Ye's condition was serious, and Lin Yan was helpless. Nowadays, due to lack of medical treatment and medicine, we cannot save our lives. We can only watch the yellow leaves grow old.
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Ying said, "My ancestor wants to see you. Do you have time to go to my house?"
Lin Yan nodded. Apart from going to the fields, she had nothing else to do recently. There is still time to go to Huang Ying's house.
"What are you looking for, Azu?"
Huang Ying shook her head, "I don't know. Azu's waking hours are getting shorter and shorter every day, and he doesn't talk much. I rarely see Azu wake up."
"Then let's go to your house now."
Seeing Huang Ye again, although Lin Yan had expected it, his heart still thumped. He really couldn't stand it. Lying on the kang, huddled up, his face was ashen.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Huang Ye opened his eyes, dull and lifeless. When he saw Lin Yan clearly, there was a slight light.
She said weakly: "You're here."
Lin Yan nodded, "Let me see you."
Huang Ye raised his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Lin Yan's head, but dropped it weakly.
After a long time, I heard her say: "It's nothing, I just wanted to close my eyes and look at you again."
"The Sun Tribe will be better with you here."
"I, I can also close my eyes with peace of mind."
Facing the twilight old man, Lin Yan didn't know what to say. Any words at this moment were pale, and her powerlessness in the face of birth, old age, illness and death made her frustrated and sad.
"Silly boy." Huang Ye looked at Lin Yan, who had a tight face, and said with difficulty, "Don't be sad, I'm lucky enough to be able to see the rise of the Sun Tribe."
Huang Ye finally couldn't survive and passed away on April 26. A living person, buried underground, will eventually be submerged in time.
