Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 30 Coal Mining
Every time Jing Yao collected a plant, he would tell Wen Qun the name and efficacy of the plant, as well as how to prepare it. He had read all of these in medical books, and then used his experimental equipment to slowly learn by himself. He thought to himself that although he could not treat illnesses, he could collect herbs, so he could barely be considered an herbalist.
Wen Qun was very interested in those medicinal herbs, and he remembered many of them after Jing Yao mentioned them once. However, he was even more half-baked than Jing Yao and only remembered their names and appearances. Jing Yao also regarded it as a way of teaching while entertaining, as neither of them had the idea of practicing medicine to save the world.
"There is a beehive up there. I'll go collect some honey for you to barbecue later." Jing Yao pointed to a certain place on the mountain wall and showed it to Wen Qun.
But with Wen Qun's eyesight, he could only see a black area, and nothing else. He asked in confusion, "Why are there bees here?"
Jing Yao smiled and said, "I caught them. This lychee and these herbs need pollination before they can bloom, so I found a big beehive on the mountain and put them in. There are holes on it so they can go in and out freely."
"Ayao, you are so awesome that you even dare to catch bees." Wen Qun had seen children in the village get stung beyond recognition after poking a beehive, and then were beaten by adults when they returned.
The sticks they used were very thin, which hurt a lot and left scars like a whip, which looked scary. Although Wen Xing did not believe that people would be born with the stick, he was very obedient after that and was afraid of being beaten.
Jing Yao pinched his face and said, "You forgot that I know magic."
Wen Qun looked at him with bright eyes full of admiration.
Because they hadn't been there to harvest beehives for several years, the hive was very huge. Jing Yao was distracted by Wen Qun's gaze, so he cut off most of the hive, which weighed over 100 kilograms. Pretending not to see the bees buzzing at him, Jing Yao let go, fell vertically from the cliff, and landed steadily on the ground.
"Ayao, are you okay? I was scared to death." Wen Qun, who had been watching Jing Yao, felt his heart jump out of his throat when he saw him suddenly fall down.
"It's okay, Qun Qun, look." Jing Yao took out a golden honeycomb. There was not a single bee on it. The regular hexagonal cells were filled with honey.
After Wen Qun confirmed that he was fine, he took the honeycomb, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth. His taste buds were immediately filled with the sweet taste. "Ayao, it's delicious. You eat it too."
Jing Yao also broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, nodding. It tasted really good and was full of energy. Long-term consumption was good for the human body. Jing Yao decided to come and harvest it once a year.
In the evening, the two of them had a meal of honey barbecue and were very satisfied. They stayed in the cave for a night and rested only after collecting enough medicinal materials. As for preparing the medicinal materials, they would have to wait until they got down the mountain. Jing Yao's laboratory had those equipment.
After restocking the areas where the samples had already been collected with seedlings and seeds, Wen Qun saw Jing Yao's miraculous performance again.
Jing Yao, who was floating in the air, waved his hand, and several beautiful crystal cores turned into green spots of light. Some fell with the wind, and some floated in the air. Jing Yao closed his eyes and used his supernatural powers. Those plants were nourished by him and began to grow rapidly. They shook their bodies gently to express their gratitude to him.
Looking at the scene in front of him, this time Wen Qun really felt that Jing Yao was like an immortal who had descended to earth.
After walking in the mountains for several days and exploring many places, we finally stopped at a flat area in the mountains. This place was different from other places. There were no lush plants, only uneven and rugged rocks.
What is surprising is that there is a spring water constantly flowing down from the mountains nearby. Under normal circumstances, plants love mountains and water most. This place is so barren, there must be some special circumstances.
Jing Yao took Wen Qun to check along the mountain and soon found a cave. They found some dead wood to make torches and lit them before pausing for a while at the cave entrance. Jing Yao took out a flashlight and shone it inside. It was pitch black and they couldn't see anything, but they didn't see any danger.
"Qun Qun, we'll go in later. You follow me, but don't follow too closely, nor too far away. If there is any danger, run outside first and don't worry about me, okay?" Jing Yao took out a flashlight and tied it to Wen Qun's hand, then took out a torch and asked him to hold it.
"I will be obedient and won't cause you any trouble." Wen Qun nodded.
Jing Yao touched his face and said, "It's not a problem."
Wen Qun nodded with a red face.
After they were ready, the two of them walked inside. Jing Yao walked in front with a torch. He not only checked the road, but also looked back at Wen Qun from time to time out of concern. The two of them did not move forward very fast.
After the two of them walked for almost a quarter of an hour, Jing Yao felt that they had walked down nearly a hundred meters, and then he felt that the mountain wall was getting darker and darker. He stopped and checked, and found that a kind of black stone began to appear in the mountain wall. Jing Yao took a closer look and found that this was a piece of coal.
He turned on the largest switch of the flashlight and shone it inside. He found that the frequency of coal blocks appearing on the cliff wall was getting higher and higher. In the end, it was all coal blocks. This turned out to be a naturally formed coal mine.
"A Yao, are these black stones what we are looking for?" Seeing A Yao's happy expression, Wen Qun asked.
Jing Yao nodded, "Originally I just came here to look for it, but I didn't expect it to really be there. With this cave, mining will be much easier."
Wen Qun was happy, "That's great."
Jing Yao took out some tools and handed the flashlight to Wen Qun, "Qun Qun, you light it here for me, I'll collect some."
"Uh-huh."
The two men began to work together to dig coal. Jing Yao had professional tools in his hands. He was very strong, and the coal exposed outside was very loose. He quickly dug out a lot and put it in a large woven bag.
It was easy to dig at the beginning, but the further he dug, the harder the coal became. Jing Yao had to change direction and expand the area on the surface to keep the cave wall in its original shape. He didn't know how much coal was in this mine. If there was a lot, he would have to think carefully about how to mine it safely.
"Ayao, take a break and eat." Wen Qun walked in from outside with a flashlight.
Jing Yao put down what he was holding, and the two walked out together to the open space outside the cave. Wen Qun was better, but his clothes were covered with a lot of coal. Jing Yao had become darker, and if he stayed in there for too long, he would become a coal man.
"Ayao, you wash first." Wen Qun handed over the wet towel with some heartache.
Jing Yao dodged and walked to the water's edge; "I'll wash myself first, and wipe myself later." He washed himself with the water from the stream until it became turbid, and then he washed himself with the towel handed to him by Wen Qun, and then the two began to eat.
"Qun Qun, we still have to stay here for a few more days. I'll collect more coal to bring back." Jing Yao said after dinner.
Wen Qun nodded and said, "Ayao, let me help you."
Jing Yao wanted to refuse, but thinking that Wen Qun didn't have anything to do and it would be boring to stay here, he said, "Okay, help me pack the bags."
The two of them dug inside for five days, and when they came out they both turned into little black people. Looking at each other, they were both a little amused and helpless.
"Ayao, let's go to the mountain spring outside to wash." Wen Qun suggested.
Jing Yao thought for a moment and said, "I know a place where we can go and wash."
The two men packed up all their things and took them away. They quickly climbed over the cliff and arrived at the mountain next to them.
This is a low hill. The scenery on the top of the hill is completely different from the mine we just visited. In this place, all kinds of flowers and plants are growing wildly. Because it is early summer, many plants are in bloom. There are more than a dozen pools of different sizes next to it, with white mist still rising from them. It looks very beautiful, like a fairyland on earth.
Wen Qun was dazzled by the scenery in front of him, "It's so beautiful here."
Jing Yao nodded. He also discovered this place by chance. The last time he came here, it was autumn and many plants were beginning to turn yellow. Although it was another kind of beauty, blooming plants always made people feel better than withering.
The two of them found a pool of suitable temperature and started to soak. In order to prevent Wen Qun from feeling uncomfortable, Jing Yao even took out a screen to block the front of Wen Qun's pool, which made Wen Qun think that he had planned it.
Jing Yao certainly had no plan. If they had already gotten married, they could have taken a bath together. However, he had promised his father-in-law, so naturally he did not dare to go beyond the line and had to protect his young husband.
This screen was collected in modern times. At that time, he thought it would be a pity if such craftsmanship was lost in the future. Looking at the lifelike peony flowers on it, he thought it was too noble, so he kept it. Now that this thing has come to this world, it is no longer a novelty.
Ignoring his wild thoughts, Wen Qun was fascinated by the embroidery on the screen. The embroidery that seemed similar to Jing Yao was very exquisite in Wen Qun's eyes. He had never seen many of the stitches on the screen, and they were so beautiful that he wanted to learn them.
I don't know if Wen Qun's thoughts had gone astray to some strange place. He washed the coal dust off his body, washed his hair without soaking for long, changed into clean clothes and got up.
The two of them sat next to a clean stone. Jing Yao was using his special powers to wring out Wen Qun's hair. Wen Qun looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and said regretfully, "It would be better if this place was closer to the village. I could come here to soak in the hot springs more often in the future."
Jing Yao asked him; "Do you like it here?"
Wen Qun nodded, "I like it."
"In the future we will build a small house here, put up a fence, and plant various flowers, plants and fruit trees. Whenever you want to come, we can stay here for a few days without telling anyone. We will just treat it as our secret base." Jing Yao said with a smile.
Wen Qun listened to his story and smiled, his eyes full of longing and yearning.
Listening to Jing Yao's gentle voice, feeling the breeze and the sunshine on his body, Wen Qun fell asleep unknowingly.
Jing Yao caught the head that was falling down and held him in his arms. After spending a few days together and Jing Yao holding Wen Qun in his arms every night after he fell asleep, Wen Qun was already completely familiar with his scent. When he was held in his arms, he not only did not struggle, but also buried his head in Jing Yao's arms.
Jing Yao packed up his things and without staying for long, he carried Wen Qun on his back and used his special powers to quickly travel using the trees and vines in the forest. When he came across a path down the mountain, he simply pulled the vines and slid down.
When Wen Qun woke up, he and Jing Yao had already arrived at the forest where the Red Beauty Fruit grew, and it was still afternoon.
Wen Qun looked at the scenery in front of him and thought he was dreaming. It was only when he looked at the red sea of blooming red fruit flowers that he slowly came back to his senses.
"Wake up! Let's get ready because we're going down the mountain soon." Jing Yao took out a handkerchief and wiped Wen Qun's face.
"Ayao, if you don't take me with you, you won't have to stay in the mountains for so many days." Wen Qun said somewhat depressed.
"It should be about the same. We are going to look for something this time, so we have to stop and look slowly. We are not rushing." Jing Yao kissed his fair face that he had wiped clean and said with a smile.
Wen Qun blushed in embarrassment. "But you came back in just one day, or maybe less than one day."
Jing Yao explained: "Ordinary people say that it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain. I am different. It is easy to go up the mountain and even easier to go down the mountain. You have forgotten what I have. Coming back is not a difficult thing. On the contrary, I will be happier with you. Okay, let's go back. I don't know if my father-in-law has come back. If he comes back, we will both be miserable."
Thinking about how he told his mother that he and Jing Yao were going out together, and that they had been gone for seven or eight days, Wen Qun felt guilty. It was the first time that he and Jing Yao had been out for such a long time, and they had been together the whole time. Even though they had been digging coal in the dark coal mine, Wen Qun still found it interesting.
Only now did he remember his father's cold face, and he looked at Jing Yao pitifully.
