Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Back on the road, whenever Chen Sanlin picked up the fan again, Xu Wenyan would glare at him.

Fortunately, we are not far from the grassland here.

A patch of green can already be seen from a distance.

Returning to the previous camping site and tying up the camel, Chen Sanlin began to build a fire and collect firewood, while Xu Wenyan spread the bedding on the carriage.

Although this place is hot during the day, it is cold at night.

It is precisely because of such extreme weather that the fruits and vegetables here are particularly sweet.

There is still time today, so Xu Wenyan wants to go into the cave and take another look, as he looked at it in a hurry before.

Anyway, a car can be filled up.

The torches they made this time were much more durable, and they were fixed to the wall.

Xu Wenyan used the parrot hoe to smash the surroundings of the saltpeter mine.

The sound of clanging echoed in the cave, and soon a hole was opened.

Xu Wenyan knocked off a piece of saltpeter and held it in his hand. The purity of the saltpeter was higher than he thought.

"Wife, can you make something amazing with this thing?"

Although his wife can always make some strange things, Chen Sanlin really doesn’t understand what it is this time.

"Well, Brother Chen, you just wait for good news. What we make will definitely be amazing." Xu Wenyan was full of confidence and accelerated his movements.

The cave is so small that two people can barely work together.

The first half hour was fine, but as time went on, Xu Wenyan felt more and more sore in his arms and legs.

In comparison, Chen Sanlin is much better.

He is very strong and his work efficiency is extremely high.

"Wife, take a rest."

Xu Wenyan nodded. He really couldn't stand it any longer: "Well, I'll carry these stones downstairs."

The only way to transport this saltpeter is by the most primitive method.

Memorize it.

Fortunately, this cave is located on the mountainside, but the round trip still made Xu Wenyan very tired.

"Damn it, I'm going to die of exhaustion if I keep carrying it like this."

Xu Wenyan lay on the ground, gasping for breath. He wanted to give up ninety-nine times along the way. These two big stones were really damn heavy.

After resting for a while, Xu Wenyan propped himself up.

I casually glanced at the grass and saw a drop of water on a spider silk.

The water drop slid down the spider silk.

In an instant, Xu Wenyan also came up with a solution, but it couldn't be used this time, so he could only come back later when he was well prepared.

Manual transportation is too inefficient.

Xu Wenyan planned to install a pulley on the mountainside and the top of the mountain.

Tie a thick hemp rope to the two pulleys.

In this way, only three people are needed to transport the stones efficiently. The people on top load the saltpeter and transport it down along the pulley.

At this time, you only need to make a buffer device on the slide below.

Just make the rope as smooth as possible, so that the instantaneous speed of the backpack will slowly slow down, thus ensuring the service life of the pulley below to the greatest extent.

After the people below pour the saltpeter into the carriage, they can use the rocker next to the pulley below to move the backpack back up.

Xu Wenyan has to go to a blacksmith shop to customize the material of the pulley. Wooden ones can also be used, but he is afraid that they will be scrapped after a short period of use.

That wouldn't make any sense.

When digging just now, Xu Wenyan discovered that there was quite a lot of saltpeter in this saltpeter mine.

Can be mined for a long time.

That was the case in this era. If it were in modern times, it would be a real punishment.

The two of them worked for more than an hour, and it was getting dark. The night on the grassland was much cooler than the Gobi Desert.

It doesn’t seem that cold.

A breeze blew by, and I felt much more comfortable all over.

After dinner, the two of them lay in the carriage, looking up at the night sky.

The stars shine brightly under the half-moon.

Xu Wenyan stretched out his palm and looked at the stars through the cracks in his palm: "Brother Chen, do you remember how I taught you to identify the stars before?"

Chen Sanlin turned his head towards Xu Wenyan, then turned his head back.

I followed his example and spread out my palms: "That is the North Star, you said it is the brightest."

Chen Sanlin slowly moved his palm towards Xu Wenyan's hand, crossed his fingertips, and led Xu Wenyan's finger to point to several nearby stars.

"That's the Big Dipper. Teach me how to use it to tell directions."

Then he pointed to the moon and said, "Tell me about that moon. When I miss you, I look at the moon."

"But I won't leave you."

Xu Wenyan's mouth opened into a grin, and the boy's laughter spread out in the night: "Brother Chen, your way of confessing is quite unique."

"Confession?" Chen Sanlin was puzzled and tilted his head to look at Xu Wenyan.

“It’s just to show love.”

"I express my love for you all the time, wife, but you are too stupid to see it."

Xu Wenyan tilted his head to meet Chen Sanlin's eyes, turned over and sat on him, pressing his wrists with both hands.

"Brother Chen, are you so bold as to call me stupid?"

Chen Sanlin's eyes curved with laughter.

Suddenly he broke free from Xu Wenyan's grip, put his arms around his waist and brought him down.

"Then should you give me some, a little punishment?"

That’s the extent of the affection.

Their lips gradually intertwined, and strong love emanated in the carriage.

The joy of this night seemed to last a little longer.

The two did not stay here for too long. After filling up the two cars, they started to head back.

Perhaps because of God's blessing, the weather was cool during the few days on the way back.

"Oh, Lao Xu, you're back. I missed you so much." Luo Sanyuan helped the two of them carry the things down from the car.

He complained about what had happened in the past few days.

"The day before yesterday, the government officials came."

"They are all so arrogant. They are as skinny as a fucking pole, but they are still so arrogant."

Luo Sanyuan was filled with righteous indignation and rolled up his sleeves.

"If Xiaoman hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten them down long ago."

Xu Wenyan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, these are minor officials from the capital who think they can gain some prestige here. As long as they are not going too far, just ignore them."

"Oh, why are you like this too?"

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "Why, I'll make a veil for you guys, block their way and beat them up?"

"Okay, I knew you had a way."

Xu Wenyan tapped him on the forehead: "You really want to do it."

"You are a few years old now, can't you be more steady?"

"Luo Sanyuan rubbed his forehead: "Xiaoman said, I will always be three years old. My name is Luo San Sui."

"Okay, okay, brother San Sui, let's get the job done quickly."

After unloading the things, let the workers start queuing up to grind saltpeter.

The dozen or so stone mills in this factory alone cost Xu Wenyan one hundred taels of silver, which was really painful.

It was still early, so Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin rode horses to Lan County again.

Find the only local blacksmith and have him make the pulley style you want.

These few days in the car, Xu Wenyan had already drawn the blueprints.

The blacksmith was also surprised when he took the blueprint, although he didn't know what it was used for.

However, the drawing style of the drawing by Zhongyuan was extremely clear, and one could even see the structure inside.

Suddenly the blacksmith had an epiphany. Everything he had forged before could be processed using this young man's method.

"Brother, how much silver do I need for these two items?" Xu Wenyan asked.

"No money, from now on I won't charge you as long as the things you bring to me are not too much!"

"Hmm?" Xu Wenyan was puzzled: "This is not good."

The blacksmith said excitedly: "Brother, the fact that you are willing to show me such an exquisite drawing shows that you trust me!"

"It is a priceless treasure that I can see this blueprint."

The blacksmith didn't charge any money, so Xu Wenyan gladly accepted it, as he would indeed forge a lot of things in the future.

As for this technology, it is not his, it is human knowledge.

Everyone has the right to knowledge.
