SFS Chapter 35 Iron Ore
Chapter 35 Iron Ore
Su Yue carefully walked towards the thatched hut in the valley. Looking inside, she saw fifteen or sixteen men in tattered clothes, all of them dark-skinned, lying on broken straw mats snoring, looking exhausted.
There were about twenty or thirty such thatched huts in this valley, and Su Yue saw several that were all in similar condition.
At that moment, Su Yue saw a dazed person emerge from a hole and begin to unzip his pants to relieve himself.
Su Yue quickly turned her head to the side, afraid that she would get a sty if she waited any longer.
After the person finished relieving himself, he looked around but found nothing, and then went back into the cave.
Su Yue waited for a while and then followed. She listened at the cave entrance for a long time but there was no sound. She then took out more than a dozen sleeping pills from her space, lit them all, and sent them in with her mental power.
While waiting, Su Yue didn't stop, sending over a dozen sleeping pills into the remaining holes one by one.
Feeling that the sleeping gas had been applied enough, Su Yue took out a damp cloth from her spatial storage, covered her mouth and nose, and carefully inserted it inside.
After walking three or four meters inside, I saw twenty or thirty soldiers lying on the ground.
Su Yue rewarded these people with an iron spoon before taking the oil lamp from the table and confidently going inside. After walking another ten meters or so, she finally saw what was inside.
Upon seeing what was inside, Su Yue was so surprised she almost forgot to cover her mouth and nose.
The entrance to this cave was dug very large, and it was full of weapons, all of which looked newly forged.
There are too many to count.
Su Yue was not polite at all. With a wave of her hand, she put them all into her space, leaving none behind.
Weren't we forbidden from manufacturing weapons privately? Then why are so many weapons being manufactured here? Are we planning a rebellion?
After coming out, she entered the next cave, where more than a dozen soldiers were lying on the ground. Su Yue gave them the same iron spoon as before.
The cave entrance was also filled with weapons, which Su Yue stored in her spatial storage.
They arrived at the hole where the blacksmith had come out and carefully went inside.
The furnace inside was burning brightly, and many blacksmiths, shirtless, were lying on the ground with hammers in their hands. The cave was larger than the first one.
There are more than twenty blacksmith furnaces alone, and if you walk around outside, all you see are black iron blocks.
Could this be an iron mine?
It was very hot inside the cave, so Su Yue put everything into her spatial storage and left the cave entrance.
Finally, when she reached the last cave entrance, there was no sound inside. Su Yue carried the oil lamp and walked inside. The path in this cave seemed to lead to another place because she found some tire tracks on the ground.
Following the cave entrance, it took about half an hour to reach the end. Su Yue used her spiritual power to probe out and found that outside was a mountain forest, with weeds taller than a person.
Su Yue looked around with a lantern in hand, and saw a protruding spot on a mountain wall. She reached out and pressed it, and the stone door slowly opened.
Su Yue did not go out; she planned to return to the county government office by the same route.
After exiting the cave, Su Yue walked along the edge of the valley and heard a faint sound of flowing water. Following the sound, she saw a small stream of water gushing out from the rock wall.
Although it cannot supply water for the entire town, it is enough for the daily drinking needs of several hundred people.
This explains why the inn had no shortage of water.
The entire town must be under the control of the person who built the valley.
Su Yue returned the way she came, and when she came out of the artificial hill, it looked like dawn was approaching.
They needed to act quickly. Besides avoiding the patrolling soldiers, Su Yue would simply use her mental power to take away the items inside a room without even going in, and she was very fast.
After the last item was taken from the room, it was already dawn, and people began to arrive at the county government office one after another.
Afraid of being discovered, Su Yue returned to the artificial hill, opened the cave entrance, and used her spiritual sense to probe ahead, running towards the cave she had discovered that led out of the valley.
The people in the thatched huts in the valley had all woken up, and many of them noticed that no soldiers had come to urge them to work today.
Those who had been beaten and were afraid to speak loudly, mechanically wanted to collect their cornbread and then go to work. Then they discovered that no one had brought food to the valley that day.
When Su Yue ran to the valley, she found a lot of people gathered together, talking excitedly.
Ignoring those people, he directly used his mental power to throw a ball of fire at the thatched hut not far away.
The thatched huts were growing very vigorously and spreading rapidly.
The people in the valley panicked and fled in all directions. As the fire grew larger, Su Yue took advantage of the chaos to run to the entrance of the cave and then left.
Once someone realized that there were no soldiers around, they started directing people to run towards the cave entrance where Su Yue had left.
Some of the people who had been captured knew that the cave entrance led to the outside, and they all ran towards it for their lives.
Once outside the valley, Su Yue released a horse from her spatial storage and rode it away quickly. She rode for over an hour before stopping to rest.
After a busy night, Su Yue almost fell asleep on horseback. Her small body was still growing, so she couldn't be too tired.
He found a patch of withered grass, went inside, lay down on the bed in the bamboo house, and quickly fell asleep with even breathing.
When she woke up again, she was hungry and didn't rush to leave the space.
After you've had two steamed buns to fill your stomach, I'll start making you a delicious and nourishing meal.
The pheasants in the space laid many eggs. Su Yue cracked two or three eggs into a bowl, added some water and salt, and continued to beat the egg mixture in the bowl before placing it on a steamer rack to steam.
Two more chickens were killed, and one of them was used to make a pot of chestnut chicken.
The other chicken was used to make a big pot of braised chicken with a batter.
The remaining dough was rolled into noodles to save for next time.
By the time the food was ready, Su Yue was starving. She didn't care that it was a little hot; she blew on it a couple of times and swallowed it.
Su Yue missed the days when she first transmigrated and was waited on by others countless times.
After a satisfying meal, Su Yue decided to rest in the space for a few days before going out.
She took the book about herbs from the bamboo house and began to study it carefully.
After all, there are quite a lot of books here, and reading more books is never a bad thing.
Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, besides reading, Su Yue would occasionally rummage through the seed bamboo house.
She actually found some seeds; on a small shelf in the last corner of the seed bamboo house, there were fifty or sixty kinds of seeds.
Su Yue opened them one by one, and was more and more surprised as she looked. The seeds inside were all the seeds she had eaten in modern times.
Like the most common vegetable seeds, there are chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, cumin, white radishes, carrots, bok choy, water spinach, Chinese cabbage, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes...
There are many other seeds, including sunflower seeds, peanuts, mung beans, red beans…
What made Su Yue happiest was that there were actually many kinds of fruit seeds here, including lychee seeds, longan seeds, strawberry seeds, watermelon seeds, cantaloupe seeds, honeydew melon seeds...
These are all foods that Su Yue loves to eat.
Su Yue picked out a few of these seeds and began to use her mental power to dig holes and plant them, then watered them with some spiritual spring water from her space.
Once everything was settled, Su Yue remembered that a lot of things had been brought into the county government office, and she hadn't gone to see what they were yet.
