Chapter 454 Baby
The plateau climate makes Xu Wenyan feel like he is living in four seasons at the same time.
He shivered in the cold morning wind.
Xu Wenyan hugged his arms and rubbed them, but the men in the camp next to him were still washing their faces with cold water.
This made Xu Wenyan admire him.
After a simple breakfast, the team continued to climb the mountain, but changed the direction today.
Today was a good start. Xu Wenyan found a Cordyceps sinensis not far away.
One cord is three hundred coins. Xu Wenyan was instantly motivated. If he could find a recycling channel, he could make a living by looking for Cordyceps for two months a year.
However, Xu Wenyan found that there was no pharmacy here, so if he wanted to sell the Cordyceps, he could only wait for the caravan to arrive.
When these merchants come, they will make a big profit from them.
By then, a piece worth more than half a cent would already be considered a high price.
"Wife, what do you see over there? It's so tall."
Xu Wenyan looked to the side and recognized the great thistle at a glance. The stems of the great thistle were covered with dense hairs and the edges of the leaves had sharp thorns.
Its flowers are mostly purple and the plant can grow to more than one meter tall.
Xu Wenyan had also seen it in Jixiang Village. It has a strong ability to stop bleeding and Xu Wenyan had also used it to treat wounded soldiers.
"There are no chickens here. I heard that chicken stewed with thistle roots is delicious, but I haven't eaten it either."
After listening to Xu Wenyan, Chen Sanlin picked up a hoe and dug out the thistle.
"I'll shoot a pheasant for you this afternoon."
Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin and smiled, "Okay, okay."
"Hey! Brother Chen, come up quickly."
As the two were talking, Xiao Wang called them from the mountainside.
"What's wrong?" Luo Sanyuan responded.
"Brother Fu has discovered the cave, come quickly."
When a few people went up, Fu Jian and others had already gone in, leaving Xiao Wang waiting outside for Xu Wenyan to go up.
But before Xu Wenyan and the others could go in, Fu Jian came out.
"What's inside?" Xu Wenyan asked.
"It's too dark. Brother Chen, wait a minute. Let's make some torches."
Xu Wenyan nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Make a longer torch to explore the way."
If there is flammable gas in the cave and it comes into contact with open flame, it will be the end of you. It is better to be careful.
"to make."
Gu Quanyue kept staring at Xu Wenyan while he was speaking. She always felt that Chen Pingan was not simple.
Fu Wan took Gu Quanyue's arm at this time: "What's wrong? You don't really like him, do you? If you don't believe me, I'll ask my brother to spend some money to redeem Brother Chen? Haha."
Gu Quanyue frowned slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, go in."
As soon as he entered the cave, Xu Wenyan began to observe the situation inside, first the morphological characteristics of the rocks in the cave, and then the air in the cave.
If anything went wrong, he would run outside with the three of them.
After advancing only a dozen meters, the team stopped.
Xu Wenyan pushed through the crowd and walked forward.
Only then did I realize that there was no road ahead.
“That’s all the hole is.”
Fu Jian scratched his head, his tone full of regret.
"Brother Fu, can you give me the torch?"
"Oh, you use it."
Xu Wenyan took the torch and moved closer to the cave, gently stroking the cave wall with his hand. His eyes moved downward and he saw an orthorhombic crystal ore.
The color is light gray with needle-like aggregates and the luster is somewhat glassy.
Seeing this, Xu Wenyan's heart beat very fast. This is a fucking natural saltpeter mine.
The surface alone is covered with mud, which is such a big lump.
Such a large amount of saltpeter can bring countless wealth.
But it depends on who holds it. If it is given to someone else, it will be treated as waste stone at most.
Xu Wenyan didn't think they could recognize that this was a saltpeter mine.
If I take this with me, I can even conquer a small country if I want.
Although he had never made explosives with his own hands, Xu Wenyan decided to give it a try.
"Chen Ping'an, have you found anything?" Gu Quanyue asked.
Xu Wenyan shook his head: "No, I was wondering if there would be a secret door, haha, haha."
Fu Jian's men also looked around carefully. They also saw the saltpeter mine, but the color of the mine was not bright enough.
It looks like there are a lot of impurities in it.
Everyone went out disappointed, only Xu Wenyan was still surprised.
From now on, I will no longer be afraid of Hammer's wolf pack and the barbarians. There is nothing that can't be solved by a shot of explosives.
If yes, then two.
After separating from the crowd again, Xiaoman asked, "Wen Yan, did you find anything?"
Xu Wenyan nodded: "There are treasures in the cave."
"Baby!" Luo Sanyuan's eyes lit up.
"Ah? Where is the treasure?" Xiao Wang asked from the back.
"It's Cordyceps. We found Cordyceps again. Of course it's a treasure." Xu Wenyan covered it up vaguely.
Then a head popped up on Luo Sanyuan's head: "Damn, can't you keep the truth from your mouth?"
Luo Sanyuan slapped himself lightly on the mouth: "Oh, I'm too excited."
"What is it, treasure?"
"Xiao Man, do you remember how I made cold drinks last summer?"
Xiaoman nodded: "The county magistrate gave you a few pieces of saltpeter." After that, Xiaoman paused: "Stumped?"
Xu Wenyan raised the corner of his mouth: "Well, there is saltpeter in it, a lot of saltpeter."
"Oh my god, do we have endless cold drinks?" Luo Sanyuan said with a naive smile.
Xu Wenyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look at how capable you are. I want to use it for more than just cold drinks."
"What else can be done?"
Not to mention Luo Sanyuan, even Xiaoman didn't know what else this saltpeter could be used for.
At that time, they didn't even have the concept of black gunpowder, so Xu Wenyan naturally didn't know how to explain it to them.
"Ah... that... you will know later."
"Wen Yan." Xiaoman looked at Xu Wenyan and asked earnestly.
"Huh? What's wrong, Xiaoman?"
"You're probably not from here."
Hearing Xiaoman say this, Xu Wenyan was not that surprised.
On the contrary, Xu Wenyan could already feel the murderous intent of Chen Sanlin.
"Want to get rid of them, wife?"
