Farming and reading family

This matter was really frustrating, but she had no way to deal with it, and was even worried that the other party would come to her again.

"Ah?" Chu Rong was surprised and immediately realized that the other party was not simple, otherwise Gao E would not be like this. "Have you thought it through?"

Gao E nodded.

Judging from the performance of that guy named Qu today, he probably didn't catch the Silver Dragon, and he didn't know that they could forge the magic iron, otherwise they wouldn't have taken over Ghost Crying Mountain so easily.

"I can think of a way to get you some gunpowder, but it will take a long time." Chu Rong said with a serious look on his face.

"Let's do it ourselves." Gao E went to Chu Rong just to make explosives with him.

"Do it yourself?" Chu Rong was shocked.

Gao E had never thought of making explosives before. She would have avoided using that thing if possible, but at this point, she had no choice but to make it herself.

"If you can make gunpowder, who would we be afraid of?" Chu Rong said excitedly.

"It's settled then." Gao E said as she stood up.

After returning to the Chen family, she wrote a letter and asked Lu Qingluo to deliver it to Xu Boyan, asking him to send someone to Qinzhou City to buy sulfur, saltpeter and white phosphorus, in large quantities, quickly and secretly.

After Lu Qingluo came back, Gao E arranged some matters at home and was about to set off with Wei Kai and his son, Chu Rong, Xiao Chuyun and Lian Xin.

"Mom..." Xiaowu hugged his mother's legs and looked at her eagerly.

Gao E picked up Xiao Wu and said, "Listen to Aunt Luo at home. Mother will be back soon."

Xiaowu seemed to notice that something was wrong with his mother, but he nodded seriously.

The other children in the family had not returned yet, so Gao E handed Xiaowu to Luo Qing'er and left.

Gao E had prepared a refuge before, but it had never been used. This time, she planned to make gunpowder there to avoid being seen.

Xiao Chuyun took them to that place.

Wei Kai and his son were responsible for making the outer shell.

Chu Rong has seen gunpowder and can provide guidance.

When you arrive at a new place, you have to move a lot of things, and Lianxin is the most suitable person.

The sky and the earth were not so dark in Xueying's view, and a carriage was getting farther and farther away from Batou Village.

The carriage moved very slowly, and it was almost dawn when they arrived at the place Xiao Chuyun mentioned. There was still a distance that the carriage could not go through, so people had to walk in.

Fortunately, there was not much snow here, so we went there together.

When we arrived at the place, it was already dawn, but we found a new cabin in the cave, and no one was inside.

"Someone should be living here." Chu Rong observed the area around the cabin and his eyes widened. "Bear skin."

This means that not only is there a person living here, but he is also a person with great martial arts skills, otherwise he would not be able to hunt the bear.

Gao E looked at Xiao Chuyun.

"When I knew about this place, no one lived here." Xiao Chuyun said hurriedly. "Besides... this place is yours."

Gao E thought so too.

She bought this place, and I guess the people living here don't know it's hers.

"Let's see his attitude later. If he is willing to leave, I can give him some money." Gao E thought it would be much more convenient to have a wooden house.

A few people lit a fire to heat up some food, and then moved the things they brought from the carriage over.

While waiting for sulfur and saltpeter, they also had to do a lot of things, such as forging iron and grinding coal into powder, which required purchasing a lot of things.

"Master Chu, you guys stay here first. Qingluo, Lianxin and I will go buy some things." Gao E suggested.

Chu Rong nodded.

When Gao E turned around, she saw someone pointing a bow and arrow at them. Lu Qingluo drew his sword and stared at the other person.

"Wait a minute!" Gao E said hurriedly, "You live here?"

Ji Wuyang stared at them: "Who are you?"

"All the mountains and forests in this area are mine. I have the land deeds," Gao E explained.

Ji Wuyang frowned and slowly put down his bow and arrow: "I didn't know there was an owner here."

"It's okay." Gao E patted Lu Qingluo's hand and asked her to put away the sword. "Then can you please leave here? I can give you some compensation."

Ji Wuyang carried two hares and a few birds that Gao E couldn't name and threw them beside the wooden house: "Give me some time, I will move out."

"We have something to do and need you to leave immediately." Gao E said apologetically.

Ji Wuyang looked around at them and saw that Gao E was indeed discussing something with him.

If it were in the past, if he accidentally walked into someone else's place, he would definitely leave immediately if the other person spoke to him nicely.

But now he has nothing and it is not easy to find a place to live.

"I'll give you money, ten taels." Gao E said immediately.

Ji Wuyang was surprised: "Okay." He said and started to pack up. "These are for you." He pointed to the prey he had hunted.

Gao E heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she met someone who was easy to talk to: "Do you want to go to He County? I can give you a ride."

"No need." Ji Wuyang lowered his head to pack his things.

He didn't have much stuff, so he took the bear skin hanging outside and some daily necessities, wrapped them in the bear skin, tied them up, and carried them on his back before leaving.

Gao E breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the other party leave, and went shopping with Lu Qingluo and others.

When we finished buying things and arrived here, it was already dark and a fire had been lit in the cave.

Lianxin moved the things in and everyone packed up.

"The water here is also good, suitable for blacksmithing." Wei Kai has already familiarized himself with the surrounding environment.

He thought this place was really nice and he could discuss it with the owner so that he and his son could live here in the future, farm some land and raise some livestock.

"That's good." Gao E nodded. "Have a good rest today. We will start being busy tomorrow." Gao E instructed.

She also had to go back to Baotou Village to prepare toner, and when the things she asked Xu Boyan to buy arrived, she would bring them over.

Assemble here when the time comes.

This area is rarely visited by people and is also a good place to test gunpowder.

After not sleeping for two days and two nights, Gao E returned to Batou Village and fell asleep immediately. She slept until dark and woke up to see Zheng Yan guarding her bedside.

"Mom." Chen Zhengyan was surprised to see his mother wake up.

Although everyone said his mother was asleep, Chen Zhengyan was still a little worried.

Gao E had recovered her spirits and sat up on the bed: "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried that Mom is sick." Chen Zhengyan looked at his mother with admiration.

"Mom is fine." Gao E touched Chen Zhengyan's head. "You will make your brothers worry."

"My brothers are worried, so I'm staying here to reassure them." Chen Zhengyan said seriously.

Gao E smiled and said, "You are a good elder brother."

Chen Zhengyan touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Mom, is there something wrong in our family?"

Gao E originally wanted to say it was okay, but then she thought that Zheng Yan was not completely ignorant, and she should let him learn to handle things slowly.

"Something happened. You need to take care of the family more recently." Gao E warned, "When you grow up a little bit, you can handle things outside the home."

Chen Zhengyan's eyes lit up when he heard his mother say this, and he visibly felt a sense of responsibility: "Don't worry, Mom, I will take care of the family affairs and take good care of my brothers."
