"Li Qian, does Blind Man Mountain hide any secrets?"
When Li Qian and Dahei returned from Blind Mountain, Ma Linling suddenly appeared and questioned Li Qian directly.
Dahei was so frightened that he almost dropped a big stone he was carrying on his shoulders.
Li Qian was also surprised by the sudden appearance of Ma Linling, and couldn't understand why this woman was so obsessed with Xiazi Mountain.
"Ma Linling, let me tell you, Blind Man Mountain is really dangerous. You are from a girl's family, so don't even think about running into the mountains. Think about how sad your father and your elder brother would be if something happened to you. ah."
"Then why aren't you afraid?" Ma Lingling asked.
"Because I have this." Li Qian said, holding up the crossbow.
"What is that? A crossbow?" Ma Linling was startled.
Whoosh!
Li Qian shot an arrow directly and demonstrated it to Ma Linling.
The arrow hit a tree, halfway in, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.
Ma Lingling was stunned.
This crossbow is so powerful.
"Li Qian, did you rely on this crossbow to defeat those bandits?" After a while, she suddenly asked.
Li Qian struggled to pull out the arrow. When he heard Ma Linling's words, he turned around and said, "Ma Linling, how do you know it was me who killed those bandits?"
After all, he asked Zhuang Xiaodie to talk about the bandits that were killed by the people of the Zhuang Mansion. No one in the village should doubt it.
"You led them to Xiazi Mountain, took advantage of the danger and terrain of Xiazi Mountain, and then used the crossbow in your hand to kill them one by one." Ma Linling just continued.
Li Qian finally pulled out the arrow.
He looked at Ma Lingling with admiration and said, "Ma Lingling, if you were a man, you would become a great person."
"Hmph!" Ma Linling snorted coldly, "Why do you all think that men are so great? Can't women be so great?"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course women can also become great people. Women are not inferior to men."
"Women are not allowed to be inferior to men?" Ma Linling's expression changed. She seemed to have never heard this sentence before, but she understood the meaning.
That is, women are no worse than men.
But when these words came out of Li Qian's mouth, she felt a little unexpected.
But considering that Li Qian was a scholar before and knew more principles than her, it didn't seem strange.
It seems that the bastard Li Qian from before is really gone.
"Li Qian, you broke my bow, should you compensate me?" Then she stared at Li Qian's crossbow and said.
Li Qian quickly put away the crossbow.
Why are there so many people trying to get his crossbow idea?
"Ma Lingling, although I don't object to girls wielding knives and guns, there are some things it's better not to touch."
"I don't care. Anyway, if you break my bow, you must compensate me." Ma Lingling just said firmly.
Facts have proved that women are also very shameless when they act rogue.
But Li Qian really couldn't help it. It was a fact that he broke other people's bows, and he showed off his own crossbow to others.
"Ma Lingling, you can get a crossbow if you want, but I can't give you this one now. It will take a few days."
Ma Linling nodded with satisfaction, and then she looked at the big stone on Dahei's shoulder strangely.
"Li Qian, what are you doing carrying back a big stone?"
Dahei had been about to interrupt for a long time, but now he couldn't wait to say, "This is not a big rock, but a treasure!"
Li Qian rolled his eyes at him, and Dahei immediately shut up.
"Baby?" Ma Lingling stared at the big stone and looked carefully. Apart from some gray and white patterns, it was different from ordinary big stones.
"Actually, I'm training Dahei to let him practice his strength again," Li Qian said.
Ma Lingling didn't bother to worry about what they were going to do when they came back carrying a big stone. Since Li Qian promised to give her a crossbow, she was satisfied and turned around and left.
"Dahei, next time you go up the mountain, you can carry two such big rocks down the mountain." After Ma Lingling left, Li Qian said to Dahei.
Dahei's face darkened. His face was already dark, but now he looked like the bottom of a pot. "No, Brother Qi'an, I didn't say anything wrong. Why do you want to punish me?"
He can still accept one big rock, but the mountain road is rugged. Carrying two rocks does not mean that he will shed his skin.
"Didn't I say that? I need to train you and improve your strength." Li Qian just said quietly.
That stone was of course no ordinary stone, but salt rock dug out of a bear cave.
Salt can be extracted, and it is not wrong to say it is a treasure.
Although it is inconvenient to exploit that mine now, it is still necessary to boil some salt for household use.
After returning home, Li Qian asked Dahei to break the big stone into pieces and soak it in the water tank.
The method he used is actually very simple. After the water dissolves the salt in the stone, the water is boiled. When the water is boiled dry, the salt comes out.
Of course, this is only the salt crystal obtained in the first step, and it still needs to be boiled and filtered several times.
If the impurities in the salt crystals are not removed, people will die.
"Where's Zhuang Xiaodie?"
