Traveling through ancient times, I worked hard to develop a side business
Chapter 41: Picking up the bargain
Then the three of them accidentally got so into digging that they didn't even notice the time.
Huanyan was busy making light bulbs, while Yao and Yinyue were competing to see who could dig out more black lumps. Neither of them was willing to give in, so they each held a basket and when it was full they dumped it onto the open space outside, going back and forth as if they had endless energy and no one felt hungry!
Huanyan swooped over half of her wings and made four spherical lampshades before she remembered to check the time.
When they ran out of the cave, they saw that it was already as dark as it could be. It was not safe to go back. Huanyan thought, "Oh no, I forgot to tell anyone when I left. I hope Qing can tell Dad not to come looking for them."
"Brother, Yinyue, you two should stop digging, we should go back!"
"Sister, I can still dig!"
"What are you digging for? It's already dark. Aren't you two hungry?"
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything. Once she started talking, her stomach started rumbling like a symphony, one beat louder than the other. But Huanyan thought about it and realized that she and Yinyue had stayed outside for a few days before, so her father shouldn't come.
At this moment, everyone in the tribe, Dayi, was almost going crazy. In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, three half-grown children were spending the night outside. Dayi was worried no matter how he thought about it. He had selectively forgotten Yin Yue's terrifying fighting ability and his daughter's destructive power.
"Dayi, don't be anxious. Huanyan and Yinyue are together. Neither of them is simple. Don't run away. The children won't be able to find you when they come back, and they will have to go out to look for you again!" Feng grabbed the crazy Dayi.
"But no matter how great they are, they are just kids!"
"Don't worry, the three of them are much safer together than us. It's so dark now, they probably won't come back tonight, and you shouldn't go out. You know how dangerous the night is. Don't cause trouble for the children. Let's go and see together tomorrow morning!" Feng said patiently.
Dayi was calmed down. Indeed, he couldn't cause trouble for the children!
But despite this, Dayi was still worried and couldn't sleep, and Caohua was also walking around anxiously. How could they sleep with both children outside?
As for Huanyan and the other two, they were busy lighting the coal!
Huanyan instructed the two to smash the coal into small pieces, then found some dry branches to light the fire, and then put the coal in. The smoke from the charcoal was very strong, so it should be the kind of black charcoal, the lowest quality kind of carbon, but it could be used for burning.
Moreover, if you use this to heat the kang in winter, it will be much more durable than dry firewood, and you don’t have to worry about gas poisoning.
I had a simple barbecue meal alone!
"Sister, this charcoal is still burning!" Yao looked surprised.
"It seems that this thing can indeed be burned. I'll ask Dad and the others to dig more tomorrow. I just don't know when the cold season will come!" The cold season here really comes suddenly, and there is no specific time, so now everyone is racing against time to stockpile supplies.
After dinner, Huanyan processed the four lampshades and then added a cluster of small flames. Four bright lamps were ready. Huanyan also added a strap to prevent them from getting burned.
In this way, the three of them dug for another half the night and fell asleep in the second half. Given the limited conditions, they did not compromise and fell asleep leaning against the wall. When they woke up again, they were greeted by Dayi's angry face.
"Dad, don't be angry yet, we found something good!"
"What good thing can be compared to your lives? We were worried to death all night, but you guys made yourselves black!" Dayi raised his hand and wanted to teach the children a lesson, but he couldn't bear it in the end.
"Dad, we really found something good. This thing can be burned. If we dig more and bring it back, we won't have to worry about not having enough firewood in the cold season!" Huanyan said with a strong desire to survive.
"That's right, Dad. This burns longer than firewood. Look, we burned it last night and it's not out yet!" Yao pointed to the fire that had not yet gone out and added quickly that his father might not beat his sister, but he would definitely beat him, so he had to strive for leniency.
"This is real!" Feng squatted down to test the temperature and said with surprise on his face.
Dayi didn't have time to teach the children a lesson, and hurriedly studied coal with several tribesmen. After confirming that this thing was indeed very durable and better than firewood, everyone couldn't sit still.
After sending a tribesman back to call for help, Dayi and a few others started digging quickly. Yao also hurried over to help. Yinyue was stunned for a while and then continued digging.
Huanyan threw a few sweet potatoes into the fire and roasted them to fill her stomach!
Before long, all the warriors of the tribe arrived, and naturally there was no need for the children. Huanyan instructed Dayi to pile the dug coal on the open space at the entrance of the cave and wait for her to come back to collect it. They would then divide it up after collecting it. Naturally, the tribesmen had no objection.
"Yanyan, I'm going to hunt some prey!" After Yin Yue gave Huanyan instructions, he disappeared from sight in a few takes off and land.
"Sister, Yin Yue is so powerful. When can I be as powerful as him!" Yao said enviously.
"Brother, this may be a little difficult, but there may be hope if we try hard!" Huanyan said seriously. After this winter season is over, she will have to study how to allow people who have awakened ordinary abilities to wash their marrow. At this stage, Huanyan dare not use things carelessly, in case it causes immeasurable consequences.
Huanyan sometimes wondered why she didn’t take a minor in medicine. Of course, it might also be that she didn’t have enough time and died too early!
Although Yin Yue is not here, Huan Yan still plans to practice. The temperature has dropped significantly today, and the cold season will probably come either tonight or tomorrow.
Huanyan exchanged some feelings with the big trees, then carefully ran with Yao in the direction pointed by the old tree.
The two walked a short distance when they heard roars coming one after another. They lightened their footsteps and soon reached a nearby place.
It turned out that a group of wild goats encountered jackals, but these wild goats were not at all like the goats of later generations. They were at least three times larger, and their horns were extremely sharp, which stabbed the jackals through in one go.
These jackals are not big in size, but they are extremely difficult to deal with. Once they bite you, they will not stop until they tear off a piece of your flesh.
The scene was so bloody and cruel that it made the two men feel cold behind their backs!
The two of them didn't dare to breathe. If it was just one or two, it would be fine, Huanyan would still give it a try. But here is a group, how could Huanyan dare to take the risk, she only has one life. However, it is not impossible to do it, it should be okay if she makes it simple.
"Roar!" A very penetrating roar was heard, and then the ground began to vibrate, and a giant appeared in the eyes of the two.
"Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Huanyan opened her eyes wide. Seeing that the fight between the wild goats and the jackals was almost over, a simple one suddenly appeared.
This Tyrannosaurus Rex is at least four meters tall and about twenty meters long, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and is extremely ferocious.
How could the jackals be happy when they saw their prey was about to be snatched away? They certainly would not be happy. They stared at the Tyrannosaurus Rex ferociously. The Tyrannosaurus Rex did not attack immediately, obviously assessing the strength of both parties or where to make the best attack.
