Chapter 999
The person who invited two people to the ceremony was very happy, and introduced how good the new mine is going to be opened, how high the iron content of the ore produced, and how valuable the associated crickets are.
Gongsun Murong and Naraza naturally congratulate them and expect that the mining area in the mine will be very large, or that it can produce a long distance.
Because of the snow, the team is not moving fast. It takes seven or eight minutes to walk for a kilometer, and it takes three hours to walk to 20 kilometers.
The team stopped temporarily, set up a simple stove, and used a pickaxe to plan the snow on the side of the road. A lot of ore and coal were dug out from below.
The road is repaired with these things. When coal is transported, it is not picked up if it is dropped. You can just bend over and take it when you need it on the road.
Lump coal was placed under the stove. Someone took out the kettle, unscrewed the lid, poured out the high wine in it, lit it, and used the wine to light the coal.
After waiting for half an hour, a pot of soup is ready. Originally, I planned to boil water and put some salt in the water to replenish the body's salt. After learning about the situation, Gongsun Murong took the initiative.
He took out a small handful of pork floss from his backpack, and a large handful of dried vegetables. The same kettle was filled with oil. The pot was popped with dried ginger and washed with water. When it was boiled, it was soup.
The soup has an advantage. It uses cooked vegetable oil, which can be used to drink when it is cold. The more important thing is that the oily soup cools down slowly. Then wrap it with fur or put it on the outside. Drinking it for an hour is warm.
Drinking the hot soup, everyone was very comfortable. It turned out that all the water in the kettle was poured out, filled with the soup, and then stuffed into a leather case.
"I have to say that the craftsmanship of the two of you is absolutely incredible. There are only a few common things, and the soup you make is so delicious. I admire it!" Hao praised after drinking a few sips of soup.
There are two people with him. The locals who are going to mine the mine have never met, and Gongsun Murong and Naraza don't know each other either.
There are signs on the two people. They are two trees, one next to each other, one green and one yellow.
Gongsun Murong smiled modestly, and asked: "These two are..."
"Oh, they are? They are from the Double Tree Guild, come here to take a look. The quality of the ore in our iron ore city is good for custom-made utensils." No. 145 gave a random introduction.
"Yes, we should find more guilds like this, so that the Iron Ore City has more goods that can be sold and increase people's income." Gongsun Murong supported it with a relieved look.
After drinking a bowl of soup, everyone set foot on the road again, walked through the last ten kilometers of the easy way, and then walked on the mountain road for ten kilometers, and continued to rest. At this time, the sun was full.
According to the current travel speed, it is estimated that the place will be at night, and the ceremony can only be held tomorrow.
But now you can see the meandering river. The water vapor on the river surface, the ice and snow on both sides, the gurgling water, the contrast is strong, under normal circumstances it is a hot spring.
One Four Five Five looked at the water, then at the nets carried by the two people, and asked: "Don’t cast a net?"
Naraza shook his head: "Don’t scatter, touch If you get out of the water, the net will freeze and you will be tired. If you go to the place, I will ask you to drink fish soup."
"There are only two kinds of fish in the river, and the only place to eat is a piece of meat on the back of the fish. The other places are too fishy, there is really no food to eat, they will be caught and eat." A miner, or blacksmith, who had previously invited the two to introduce the situation.
The other said: "There is a kind of shrimp. It is three inches long. It tastes good, but in winter the shrimp will hide under the water. You can’t catch it with the spinning nets you brought. There are ore rolling into the water. , The edges and corners of the ore will cut your nets."
"It’s okay, we brought the thread and the shuttle, and repaired it if it broke. We are not afraid of fishy, we have a way to make it not fishy, okay La, keep on going, you must get to the place before dark." Naraza made a promise and urged.
There are more than 20 kilometers left, and I arrived with my insistence.
When the remaining road was less than ten kilometers, No. 145 suddenly uttered an "Ouch". One of his ankles was severely swollen. It was obvious that the ankle was swollen.
Brow beaded with sweat, No. 145, it hurts.
Naraza took a cold breath: "It's cruel!"
"Yes, it's twisted badly." Gongsun Murong echoed.
"It's okay, hiss, don't worry about me, hiss, you go yours, leave a person to accompany me slowly, hiss." No. 145 said while there si si of.
Of course, you can’t just leave one to take care of him, and everyone is an ordinary person. If you really let two people go slowly, what if there is a wild beast and run over in idleness?
Everyone intends to take turns carrying No.1,45 and No.5, so the speed is naturally slow, after all, everyone has walked more than 50 kilometers.
Within less than one kilometer after walking out with No.1455 on his back, he called to stop, and then said to Gongsun Murong and Naraza: "The people in the Double Tree Guild are more anxious. Can you two help? For protection, the two of them should take samples and observe first when they arrive at the place, and let people outside see the images. Whether the Iron Mine City can make more money depends on the results of the observations they have made when they arrive at the place."
The two people showed anxious expressions and looked towards Gongsun Murong and Naraza together. One of them said: "Observe well, place an order right away. We are also in a hurry. If you need extra benefits, we Willing to pay."
"What do you think of us? Since it is for the Iron Ore City, and everyone comes from outside, how can we not watch each other? Come, we two will take you two People go one step first." Naraza opened his eyes, devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence.
As everyone expressed their gratitude, the team separated. The locals walked slowly behind. Gongsun Murong and Naraza escorted the two guilds.
The distance is gradually widening. After traveling five kilometers, I can't see the silhouette of the local people when I look back. The destination is less than five kilometers away.
The two people who were protected seemed to have good stamina. After walking more than three kilometers forward, they could see the small hill in the distance where a new mine was going to be opened.
One of them looked at the river which was more than one kilometer away from the main road, and said: "I have seen the map and walked along the river in this place, so I can avoid a section of the road. Otherwise, you have to turn over two hills, and the snowy sky will be slippery."
"Okay, let's change the route." Naraza agreed happily, and then took out the water bottle from the backpack to drink soup, and Gongsun Murong kindly helped her. The sweat-damp hair was gathered around his head, and it was frozen hard.
The two protected people naturally walked ahead.
Naraza put the kettle away and said, "It's still warm."
As soon as the voice fell, two double crossbows with hanging strings appeared in each of her and Gongsun Murong's hands. , And pulled the trigger against the back of the person walking in front.
An arrow shrouded in an instant. The two walking in front of them seemed to have eyes on the back of their heads, and they flashed away from the left and right. They just flashed out, and the trajectory of their bodies suddenly changed towards Gongsun Murong and Naraza rushed, each with a three-sided thorn in their hands.
Gongsun Murong shook his hands, and the net he was carrying went out head-on. It was supposed to be a slow-opening net. I don't know why the speed is so fast. The 12-meter-diameter is all over the two people.
Gongsun Murong pulled the network cable behind, turned around and ran after Naraza.
The net banged when the line at the back was pulled, and smoke came up.
