    The night gradually fades, and the white fish belly appears in the east.

    The depressed and deserted residential area below has finally gained some popularity. There are two to three thousand people in the entire mining area. Most of them are in the mine during the day. They return home and fall asleep at night. Only the early morning period can be more relaxed.

    "Brother, what were you yelling about last night?" Li Jinbao asked sleepily.

    "Brother, what's the good thing? Tell me and let us all be happy too." Another silly boy came over.

    Xie Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed. After knowing these people for several days, he still didn't know their names.

    He was depressed before and took everything very lightly. In his eyes, these people were just passers-by and he didn't take it to heart at all. But after venting last night, he became refreshed. Who cares?  All pleasing to the eye.

    Besides, he was able to obtain the "Six Rules of Dharma" thanks to his uncle and these people. If "Six Rules of Dharma" is his chance, then meeting these people may also be a chance.

    "I don't know how to call you yet." Xie Xiaoyu said.

    "This is Er Dai." Li Jinbao patted the shoulder of the person who just spoke, and then pointed at each one: "That's Big Dai, as well as Wood, Zhuzi, Tian Zhuang, Xiao Wuzi, Xiao Liuzi, Lao Bai,  Uncle Chang, Uncle Chao.¡±

    "Brother, just call me Lao Chang or Lao Chao. We can't bear the title of uncle." A middle-aged man who was similar to the uncle quickly handed over his hand.

    "Brother, you haven't said anything yet, what's the good thing?" Li Jinbao continued to ask after the introduction.

    "I just figured out something." Xie Xiaoyu smiled slightly.

    "What do you want to understand?" Hun people always like to get to the bottom of things.

    "Okay, go rinse your mouth and wipe your face, then eat. After eating, come to work with me." The uncle came over and put another big pot lid in his hands. He basically talked to his son with his hands and rarely used his mouth to reason.  , because it¡¯s too tiring to do that.

    The silly boy shut up, what he was most afraid of is his father.

    Others didn¡¯t dare to say much.

    After cleaning up and eating breakfast, he threw his rice bowl to the side and everyone followed the uncle.  Uncle Chang was left alone to clean up the dishes.

    Uncle Chang used to work as a helper in a wealthy family, from a handyman to a manager, and worked as a cook for a period of time in between, so all the messy things were his.  But he also has advantages, because he has to cook for everyone, so he can go to work half an hour later than others and come back half an hour earlier than others.

    After walking for more than a mile, the uncle turned his head and said sternly to his son: "Listen, kid, don't ask me about this again."

    "Why?" Li Jinbao asked doubtfully.

    "Didn't you see it? When I came out this morning, my spirit was different from before. It was like a different person. Even though he was very polite before, he looked at people like he was looking at stones.  , we are not there at all, today we are. "Uncle Chao is a meticulous person and hurriedly explained.

    "Does this have anything to do with what I asked?" Li Jinbao was still unconvinced.

    As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately slapped on the back of the head, causing him to stagger and stars appearing in front of his eyes.

    The uncle rarely hits his son hard. This time he used really hard. After the beating, he cursed angrily: "Just remember it. Don't ask random questions in the future. Don't ask anything. Just ask once."  , I¡¯ll fight once.¡±

    Uncle Chao just shook his head. He disagreed with his actions, so he explained: "That little brother is different from us. He definitely didn't come here to make a living. He either committed something in China or  Is it because of the four words "love, hate, love and hatred"? If you ask randomly, you are violating the taboo. It is your opportunity to meet my brother, and it is also our opportunity. Look at it now, the technique is there, and there is that.  What¡¯s the spiritual pulse? Last night I took a massage for an hour, which was as hard as the previous month. As long as I don¡¯t leave, there will definitely be good things in the future. Don¡¯t turn opportunities into hatred.¡±

    ¡°This is not just for Li Jinbao, but also for other silly boys to understand the truth.

    "Do you understand what Uncle Chao said?" the uncle shouted.

    "I understand." A group of silly boys said in unison. They actually didn't understand, but they didn't dare to say it for fear of being beaten. They just knew that they couldn't ask questions in the future.

    ¡­¡­

    Inside the cave, Xie Xiaoyu is busy.

    The copper kettle has been taken out and placed on a small stove. The copper kettle is filled with water, and the copper pipe is connected to the spout. The vertical and horizontal parts are covered with two layers of thick quilts. He is putting the  Eggs are placed one by one on top of the quilt.

    Just boil itWater and steam will spurt out through the copper pipe, and the copper pipe will heat up, making the quilt hot. After three or four days, these eggs will hatch and turn into chicks.

    When he was in the sect, he had read a lot of books, including some geography, agricultural books and other miscellaneous books. One of them mentioned that people in northern Liaoning raised chickens in farmhouses.

    When winter comes in northern Liaoning, the weather is so cold that the snow can bury people.  If chickens are kept outside, they will definitely freeze to death.  So people in northern Liaoning built wooden frames in farmhouses, covered them with layers of shelves, and raised chickens on the shelves.  A small farmhouse can raise two to three hundred chickens.

    These chickens eat bugs, which need to be raised specially. People in northern Liaoning feed them straw, bran and other things, which are not eaten by humans.

    So even though northern Liaoning is covered with ice and snow for most of the year and no crops can grow in the fields, the people there are living well.

    Although Tianbao Prefecture is not cold, the water, soil and air are poisonous. Even the things grown in the farmlands around Linhai City still contain toxins, just less.

    This is similar to northern Liaoning.

    During the half-year-long voyage, he thought about many things, including how to survive after coming here?  This memory was brought out by him.

    But he couldn¡¯t trust everything in the book and had to verify it, so he only bought two hundred eggs.

    Wait until you are successful and then expand the scale.

    After finishing the incubation table, Xie Xiaoyu returned to his seat and sat cross-legged again. Cultivation is a boring thing. Most of the time is spent meditating, so you must endure loneliness.

    As the sun rose and set, there was no sense of time passing while meditating in the cave. It was not until he heard heavy footsteps outside, and then heard the sound of pots being buried to make rice, that he knew it was evening.

    That¡¯s because Uncle Chang came back first to cook.

    Half an hour later, there were indeed noisy footsteps outside.

    Everyone else is back too.

    Coming out of the cave, Xie Xiaoyu saw the uncle and the others climbing up the cliff with dark faces and unkempt hair.

    "How was the harvest?" he asked.

    In the past, he would never even ask. It had nothing to do with him anyway. Now he more or less regards himself as one of them.

    "The mines are indeed almost exhausted. At the end of the day, the harvest is much less than before." The uncle was a little helpless. If this continues, he may even have a problem with eating.

    "After dinner, I'll come with you to take a look." Xie Xiaoyu said, since he is a member of this group of people, he should help.

    Hearing this, the uncle immediately became happy and said to the elder uncle: "Quickly, bring the food. After dinner, I will accompany my brother to the mine. You can meditate and practice for me. When you are tired, practice  The most effective.¡±

    Everyone responded.

    The uncle is not worried about someone being disobedient. Although he is stupid, his people know what is good and what is good, and people from the countryside are willing to endure hardships.

    The rice was ready a long time ago. Uncle Chang filled a bowl with white rice and handed it to Xie Xiaoyu respectfully.

    "I can't eat that much." Xie Xiaoyu used chopsticks to eat away half of the bowl. It wasn't that he had a small appetite, but he didn't want to eat more and didn't want too many toxins to invade his body.  Before the chicken hatches and grows up, it is enough to eat enough food every day to keep it alive.

    Others, of course, don¡¯t know the reason. They think that real monks don¡¯t need to eat.

    After the three of them put the rice into their mouths, the uncle impatiently walked up to Xie Xiaoyu.

    "Okay, let's go." Xie Xiaoyu put the bowl on the ground.

    The two of them didn¡¯t bring pickaxes, so they went to the mine empty-handed.

    The mining area is very large. Along the way, there are mines everywhere on both sides. The entrances of some mines have been blocked by wooden bars. They are waste mines that have been dug out.

    ¡°Uncle and the others are going to a relatively remote mine, and they need to walk five or six miles.

    Entering the mine, it is very low and narrow inside. The mine tunnel slopes downward, and it is dark and gloomy. There is only a faint bright spot every 100 meters.

    But all this is not a problem for Xie Xiaoyu.  He has the method of observing the sky and the earth, and in his eyes, the entire mine is as bright as day, and colorful light groups can be seen everywhere.

    Those light clusters are ores, with different colors and different types of ores.

    Suddenly, he stood still. There was a cave wall densely covered with light groups, and most of them were dark purple in color.

    This mining area mainly produces copper. In addition to ordinary copper, it is also accompanied by red fire copper, purple copper, pearlescent copper, and blood pattern copper.

    The piece in front of you is Zichen Copper.

      "This is a vein." He drew a big circle on the cave wall with his hand.

    "Ore vein!" The uncle's eyes widened. He has worked here for many years, and of course he understands what it means to find a mineral vein.

    If it were in the past, they would definitely not be able to keep the secret. When there were the most people, there were hundreds of thousands of miners working here, and every mine was full. Whoever discovered the veins would be known to others immediately.

    It¡¯s different now. There are only two to three thousand people working in such a large mining area, and there are often only a few people working in a mine tunnel.

    "This vein is all made of purple copper, so don't work too hard, or be careful about being discovered by others." Xie Xiaoyu warned.

    "The poisonous gas in the mine is too strong. I will let them smash rocks outside." The uncle understood what Xie Xiaoyu meant. If it was purple copper, two baskets a day would be a good harvest. Let those boys smash rocks.  It was to train their strength. He did not forget that Xie Xiaoyu said that in the "Hercules Sutra", practicing strength during the day and practicing Qi at night complement each other.

    Xie Xiaoyu suddenly thought of what he wanted to do.  It's better to leave it to the uncle and the others.

    "You help me build a shed, and also make some wooden frames and shelves. It looks like a silkworm house for raising silkworms in the south of the Yangtze River." Xie Xiaoyu didn't know how to explain it, and kept gesticulating with his hands.

    "I understand, we also have such a silkworm house at home." The uncle is not an ignorant person.  But he soon became depressed.  He thought of the good times.  In those years, just selling raw silk could earn fifty or sixty taels of silver a year. The two silkworm rooms at home were simply money trees.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that natural disasters plus man-made disasters cannot withstand it, no matter how strong the family background is.

    "Then I'll be relieved." Xie Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately thought of another thing: "You leave one more person here. In a few days, he will need to take care of some things."

    "Are they those eggs?" The uncle had actually been guessing the purpose of the eggs and copper utensils for a long time. He was from the country, but he was not stupid. The eggs were either used to eat or to hatch into chicks and raise them.

    "This is the first batch, just for testing. Once successful, you won't have to worry about the poison in the water and soil in the future." Xie Xiaoyu revealed something: "Don't eat too much of those rice, although it looks very clean.  There¡¯s still a lot of toxins in it.¡±

    The uncle said "Ah" and his expression changed drastically.  Of course he didn't think Xie Xiaoyu was sensationalizing.

    "I'm afraid it's too late, right? My family also raises chickens. It takes two or three months to raise a chicken from chick to adult." The uncle was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. This happens to anyone who hears that the food he eats is poisonous.

    "It's not necessary, one and a half months is enough." Xie Xiaoyu was sure that those eggs had all been nourished with wood spirit energy, and they would definitely grow much faster.

    ¡°Besides, he doesn¡¯t intend to let the chicken grow too big. One pound is enough.

    "I saw in the vegetable market that the chicken, duck, and fish here seem to be graded. The same thing, if it is a grade higher, the price is ten times more expensive."  Big, after walking around the vegetable market, he suddenly had a new idea.

    Gold and silver are cheap in Tianbao Prefecture, but the price of ingredients is expensive, especially those ingredients with very few toxins, which are basically a scarce resource.

    The uncle didn¡¯t know what Xie Xiaoyu was thinking, but his eyes still shone.

    Of course he knows how precious those high-grade ingredients are. In the past, the gang he belonged to opened up a spiritual field. Less than 10,000 kilograms of food were grown every year. Ordinary people could not enjoy it at all. Only people above the Xiang Master could enjoy it every month.  You can get a bag.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would also have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the incense owner.

    The uncle is more and more sure of one thing. Meeting this little brother is definitely his chance. He must hold on to this thigh firmly.
