A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Yingzi didn't quite understand why Shen Qingqian was so interested in the black stone! But since Shen Qingqian wanted to know, she would tell him everything she knew.

“Girl, there are many caves on Black Stone Mountain, and each one has black stones in it.

By the way, there is a cave in front of us. The walls around the cave are all covered with them. If you want to see them, I can take you there now."

"Okay, let's go now!" Shen Qingqian said.

Yingzi led Shen Qingqian and Wang Ke'er towards a fork in the road, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a cave.

Looking from the outside, the cave was pitch black.

Yingzi lit a tinder and said, "I'll lead the way, just follow me, it's not very deep in there."

The three girls entered the cave one by one. At first, because the firelight was too dim, they could only see the road under their feet and could not see anything around them.

After walking about twenty meters, Yingzi stopped in front and lit another tinderbox.

At this time, the girls' eyes had adapted to the light in the cave, and with the help of two tinderboxes, they could basically see what was going on inside.

"Girl, this is the middle of the cave. Take this fire starter and look around."

Yingzi handed a fire starter to Shen Qingqian and said.

Shen Qingqian took it, walked to the wall of the cave, and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, she guessed right! It was coal!

What Black Stone Mountain? This is clearly Coal Mountain! A whole coal mine!

Shen Qingqian's heart was about to jump out of her chest with excitement! Since she came here, she had only seen charcoal, and had never seen coal. Even the boiler in her inn used charcoal.

This means that coal has not been mined in this era!

If she could own a coal mine, wouldn't she be rich?

Yingzi and Wang Ke'er followed behind her, and under the firelight, they looked at Shen Qingqian's glowing eyes, somewhat puzzled.

Yingzi asked: "Girl, you seem to like these black stones very much?"

Shen Qingqian did not hide her inner ecstasy and said happily: "I like it! Of course I like it! Yingzi, I want to buy this mountain!"

"what?"

Yingzi and Wang Ke'er looked at each other, and Wang Ke'er asked tentatively: "Girl, could this black stone be some kind of treasure?"

Shen Qingqian nodded and said, "You guessed it right, these are all treasures!

We will go first. After visiting your father, we will go to Tai'an Town in the afternoon. In addition to inquiring about Yingzi's grandfather's news, we will also go to the government office to buy this Black Stone Mountain!"

The three girls walked out of the cave. Shen Qingqian took a deep breath and felt his blood boiling.

Yingzi said, "Miss, Ke'er, two miles ahead from here is the Black Wind Village."

"Okay, let's go. But before I buy this mountain, don't tell anyone about the black stone!

Ke'er, this also includes your father!"

Shen Qingqian said, and also specifically reminded Wang Keer.

Wang Keer quickly agreed and promised: "Don't worry, girl, I will never tell my father about this!"

In fact, even if you tell others that the black stone is a treasure, others will not know its value!

Shen Qingqian emphasized this deliberately because she was afraid that Wang Liu and his friends would accidentally tell others about it after knowing it, which would cause trouble when buying the mountain.

With Yingzi leading the way, the group soon arrived at the gate of Heifeng Village.

The Black Wind Village looked to be of considerable size, with a stone wall that was more than two meters high. Standing outside, one could only see a tower sticking out of the yard, which was approximately as high as a five-story building.

You can tell at first glance that it is used for inspections, and you can see everything at a glance when standing on it.

At this moment, not only was there no one in the tower, there was no one guarding the gate of Black Wind Village! From the outside, it looked very desolate.

Shen Qingqian couldn't help but think, Niu Er and his people are guarding such a large coal mine, but they are bandits here! What is this called? Holding a golden bowl to beg for food!

Yingzi went forward and knocked on the door, shouting, "Is anyone there?"

It was quiet inside and no one answered.

The three of them waited for a long time, but no one came out to open the door.

Yingzi said, "It seems that there should be no one inside. Let's go first. I will take you to my grandfather and my home in the mountains.

My grandfather and I have stored some food so we can cook for lunch.”

Wang Keer was a little worried and said, "Yingzi, you said there's no one inside, where would my dad and the others go?"

Yingzi said: "I guess he went out for something and will be back later! Ke'er, don't worry, no one usually goes up to Black Rock Mountain.

The last time the government came to suppress the bandits, it was because there was a traitor among them. Now there are only a few people left on the mountain, and no one will come up, so there shouldn't be any danger!"

"That's right!"

Wang Keer felt relieved after hearing Yingzi say this.

Yingzi took Shen Qingqian and Ke'er and walked in another direction.

The snow seemed to be falling heavier, and the mountain road became more difficult to walk on.

Shen Qingqian and Yingzi walked on both sides of Wang Keer, holding her to prevent her from falling.

Wang Ke'er felt a little guilty, thinking that if she had some martial arts skills, she wouldn't have to trouble others to take care of her!

The three of them walked for less than an hour before they saw a piece of flat ground.

There are several wooden houses on the flat ground, arranged in the shape of a 7. There are high fences on all four sides of the house, and one of the sides has two wooden gates.

At this moment, white smoke was coming out of the chimney of the wooden house, as if someone was living inside.

"grandfather!"

Yingzi shouted in a trembling voice, "Is my grandfather back?"

As she said this, she ran towards the wooden house regardless of everything.

Shen Qingqian didn't bother to ask anything and pulled Wang Ke'er to follow.

The wooden door was not locked, and the three girls ran into the yard one after another.

"Yingzi! Why are you back?"

Niu Er walked out of the wooden house and was surprised to see Yingzi.

Seeing that it was Niu Er, Yingzi frowned and said angrily: "Niu Er, why are you in my house? Where is my grandfather?"

As she said that, she rushed into the house. Shen Qingqian and Wang Ke'er looked at each other and followed her into the house.

"Old Wang, your daughter is here!"

Niu Er recognized Shen Qingqian and Wang Keer and shouted into the house.

There was a table in the middle of the wooden house. At this moment, four people were eating around it, one of them was Wang Liu.

Among the other three people, two of them were Niu Er’s subordinates, and Shen Qingqian had seen them before.

There was only one person who was a stranger, whom I met for the first time.

Yingzi looked around but didn't see her grandfather. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, she ran to other rooms to look for him.

Wang Liu was also surprised to see his daughter. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked over quickly and said, "Ke'er, why are you here?"

Wang Keer said, "Dad, Yingzi came back to inquire about her grandfather, so I came with her to see you."
