The captain saw that nothing happened and didn't want to disturb the villagers, so he turned around and took the people back.
Therefore, Su Qing and Meng Hang should have escaped disaster because the branches were burned.
In fact, with Luo Zilan here, there would be no problem even if she is discovered. The ancestor has set up a temporary magic array. Even if the visitor enters the yard, they will not see anything unusual.
After the fruit branches were burned, the fire pit was full of ashes. Meng Hang dug them out with a shovel and dumped them into a garbage basket, waiting to be filled and sent to the planting field as base fertilizer.
After Zhu Xiuyun got up from lying down for a while, he saw that the two children were sitting in the courtyard chatting without doing any work, so he asked:
"Qingqing, you're all done, so fast?"
Su Qing: "Grandma, we haven't finished yet. There are no more fruit branches. We want to wait until you wake up and go back to the mountain to cut a few carts. We won't make bacon today. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Zhu Xiuyun: "Oh, that's it. Can't you chop firewood at home?"
Su Qing shook his head, "The firewood at home is not good, and there is no fragrance of fruit trees. Anyway, Meng Hang and we are fine, so hurry up and prepare Huo Miao's cat food. We should pack up and go back to school in a few days."
What Su Qing was thinking was that even if the firewood could be chopped but not burned, it was all wood chopped by her two uncles for her grandma to use for cooking. How could she waste it on bacon?
"Grandma, you look at the meat at home, while Meng Hang and I go to the mountain to cut branches."
"Go and take the flame with you. I can rest assured that he will protect you."
"Um."
Meng Hang and Su Qing were both smart people. They got into the car and drove away. The battery was already full. Meng Hang drove straight to the mountain.
I met people from the village on the way and asked them why they were going there.
I heard that the two of them were going to the mountains to chop firewood, so I advised them to just pick up some at the foot of the mountains and not go into the mountains. The wild beasts in the mountains are very ferocious and they should be careful not to get picked up by wolves.
Meng Hang smiled and thanked the uncles and aunts in the village, and continued driving up the mountain.
There are a lot of wild fruit trees in the mountains, and they grow wildly every year. Su Qing and Meng Hang happened to be pruning the branches of the fruit trees. They cut down the dead ones whole and trimmed off the excess branches of the vigorous ones.
Then he pulled some dead branches on the ground and tied them with ropes. In a short time, a large cart was filled. Su Qing asked Meng Hang to send back a cart first, while she and Huo Miao stayed behind to continue cutting branches, so as not to waste time.
As soon as Meng Hang left, Su Qing said:
"Huo Miao, you fly into the air and monitor the surroundings. If someone comes, tell me immediately.
I used magic to collect branches quickly, trying to have enough to burn for two days. We will leave in two days, and there is no time to waste. We must pay close attention to Meng Hang's study, otherwise when school starts, I suspect he will fail the exam. . "
"I know! Master,"
The flames turned into a bunch of small wings and flew into the air, sending a message to Su Qing that there was no human figure within a ten-kilometer radius.
Su Qing had a flame to help him keep the wind, and began to use the wind blade confidently and boldly. One by one, the branches kept falling to the ground. After pruning this forest, he used the floating technique to fly out to a mile away, within a radius of one mile. All the fruit trees were cleaned by her,
Then he reached out and waved the branches into a neat bundle, and a green vine flew over and tied them up automatically. In the short time before Meng Hang left, bundles of fruit branches piled up into a hill.
When Meng Hang drove back and saw a large amount of firewood in front of him, he exclaimed:
"Qingqing, you are so awesome, so awesome."
This time Meng Hang only had to keep pulling branches home, and he didn't even need to do anything to load the car. Su Qing waved his hand, and bundles of branches flew to the car automatically.
Meng Hang pulled it seven or eight times before finally pulling back all the branches.
Zhu Xiuyun felt that putting it in the inner courtyard would take up space. The firewood shed was full, so he asked him to put it in the open space between the gate and the planting field.
People in the village are accustomed to pile firewood at the door, usually straw and wheat straw from the autumn harvest. Whatever can be burned, the villagers will not waste it.
Meng Hang threw the last bundle of branches onto the firewood pile, clapped his hands and finished the work.
"Qingqing, the fruit branches are here, shall we continue smoking meat?"
"After smoking some pheasants in the yard, let's preview our homework first. School is about to start. You should calm down and make up for your lessons. Otherwise, what will you do if you fail the first class exam? Do you still want to earn credits? ”
When Meng Hang heard about studying, he immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost. What he disliked the most was studying, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Qingqing said that they should learn when they are young. No matter whether the knowledge in textbooks is useful or not, only by studying well can they stand out from the crowd and have a better future.
He understood that Qingqing was right. Even though it was difficult for him to learn, he still followed Qingqing's instructions.
Meng Hang was listless, setting a pile of branches on fire and continuing to smoke pheasant meat. Zhu Xiuyun also asked him why he was not energetic and if he was tired.
"Hahaha!!" Su Qing said with a smile: "Grandma, I told him that after these pheasants were smoked, we would go home and study, and he became like this."
Zhu Xiuyun also laughed after hearing this.
"Little Fatty, in the past two days, you two have to hurry up and review your studies. Don't go back to school with an empty mind. I'm not worried about Qingqing. What should I do if Grandma Zhu accuses you of failing the exam?" He owes us Qingqing so much money."
Meng Hang was so sad that he wanted to cry, "Grandma Zhu, I know, I will study hard."
Thinking of my little ledger, I felt even sadder.
But he forgot that Su Qing also had a small account book. Half of the elixirs they collected together belonged to Meng Hang. He had a share of the money from selling them or making them into potions. It was hard to say whether he still owed the debt or not. Woolen cloth?
A dozen pheasants were smoked in less than an hour. They were all put on the drying rack to dry slowly. The three of them locked the door and went home.
Zhu Xiuyun was worried about having so much meat and no one was watching. She even planned to keep it by herself, but Su Qing stopped her.
"Grandma, just keep an eye on the flames. Let's all go back,"
Zhu Xiuyun thought the same thing. Who could steal his cat food from under Huo Miao's nose?
Su Qing gave Huo Miao a few words and left him here. Anyway, he just needed a place to lie down, and he was more willing to look at the bacon.
When the three returned home, Zhu Xiuyun went to work in the planting fields, leaving the two children to start studying at home.
Although they used to review their homework, recently they went to the mountains to dig yams every day, and the time was shortened a lot. Su Qing did not have strict requirements on Meng Hang, and both of them were a little slack.
School is about to start, and it’s useless if you don’t sharpen your skills before the battle. Take advantage of the opportunity and review quickly.
Although he didn't bring the entire textbook, with Su Qing's strong memory, it was still very easy to answer hundreds of questions.
She just finished writing it and asked Meng Hang to do the questions. She also picked up the textbooks for the new semester and previewed them, focusing on weapon refining. This is a new course and was not available last semester.
When I was in the beginner class, I also learned about weapon refining, but it was very simple.
The book explains that from the beginning, humans used animal bones and stones to polish daily necessities and weapons, and later learned to refine ores and smelt metals, continuously improving productivity levels, until entering the interstellar era, when people used supernatural powers to refine various items. The content is diverse. The study of weapon refining is a broad and profound subject, and it is no easier to learn than the study of pharmacy.
The empire's weapon refining science is of course far behind that of the cultivation world. Although Luo Zilan is a master of alchemy and knows a little about other aspects, it is no problem to teach Su Qing the basics of weapon refining. Of course, she looks down on the empire's weapon refining level. , but knowledge is interoperable and can learn from each other.
Su Qing has always believed that any knowledge is useful. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of generations of human beings and can be learned from each other. Although she plans to major in pharmacy, she also needs to have some knowledge in weapon refining.
Intermediate classes will begin practical operations, starting with simple carving and polishing, and finally smelting metals and refining items.
