Chapter 338: Stone Breaking
"Where did you stay last night?" Chen Sanlin asked as he pulled Xu Wenyan into the room on the second floor.
"I slept well at Zhang's house." Xu Wenyan smiled.
Chen Sanlin frowned: "Alone?"
"With my cousin."
"Wife..." Chen Sanlin threw Xu Wenyan onto the bed and pressed his arms with his hands.
"Just kidding, just kidding. I was in Xiaoliu's room yesterday." Xu Wenyan knew it would be impolite to joke again.
"Hmm——" Chen Sanlin kissed her fiercely and bit Xu Wenyan's collarbone, leaving two rows of teeth marks.
Chen Sanlin pressed his entire body on Xu Wenyan: "He can't do it either. There's something wrong with that kid."
Xu Wenyan rubbed his head: "He is just a little brat."
"Ah—stop biting."
Chen Sanlin bit Xu Wenyan's collarbone again, deepening the previous wound.
"Wrong, wrong. Can you please sleep alone from now on?" Xu Wenyan hurriedly pulled the big dog away.
Chen Sanlin rubbed against Xu Wenyan's cheek again and said, "You can only follow me."
"Okay, okay, I'll follow you."
"Oh, right." Chen Sanlin stood up and said, "Yesterday Chen Xingjie found me and said that Xujia Village encountered difficulties in road construction and wanted you to discuss it with her.
"Are we leaving now?" Xu Wenyan straightened his messy clothes.
Chen Sanlin swallowed and said, "Later?"
"Hahaha, look at you." Xu Wenyan suddenly scratched Chen Sanlin's head and said, "Let's go quickly. What the hell is in your head?"
Xu Wenyan went downstairs and explained some things to Zheng Liwei, then took Li Dezhu back with him. There was no other way as this was the only carriage available.
The weather in Fengxian changes slowly.
It was time to wear thin clothes, but Xu Wenyan didn't feel cold as they leaned against each other.
On the way, Xu Wenyan saw a lot of things like yam, lily, and coptis. With a treasure mountain behind him, there were too many opportunities to make a fortune.
From a distance, I saw hundreds of men gathered together.
"Hey, Brother Xu is here!"
The men from Jixiang Village made way and the three of them came to Chen Xingjie.
"Wen Yan, come quickly."
Chen Xingjie brought Xu Wenyan to a large rock and said, "If we don't get rid of this rock, the road won't be wide enough.
We dug more than a meter below, but it was still rock, and we couldn’t pry it open.”
After walking around the big rock, Xu Wenyan felt that his method should be feasible.
"Brother from Xujia Village, please go back and get some barrels. Dezhu, please drive a few people back."
Afterwards, Xu Wenyan arranged for people to add firewood into the big pit. In two quarters of an hour, not only was the pit filled with stones, but there were also a lot of stones piled up outside.
After Li Dezhu drove the carriage back, Xu Wenyan lit the firewood.
In just a moment, a raging fire broke out, and the flames shot up into the sky, enveloping the entire rock.
"Brother, please add more firewood to keep the fire burning for a while. Fill the bucket with water. It will be useful later."
The fire continued to burn for half an hour, and Xu Wenyan immediately gave the order.
Have everyone throw water onto the big rock together.
Just hear "crackling-crackling-crackling"
"what sound?"
"It came from the big rock."
"It's cracked! The big rock is cracked!"
"Oh my god, it's really amazing!"
Everyone was amazed at this magical phenomenon.
Such a big stone will crack just by burning it and then pouring water on it.
Of course, anyone who sees this nowadays will know that this is using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to destroy the internal structure of the lion's head.
When cold water is poured suddenly on the big rock under high temperature, it will naturally crack.
"Okay, everyone hurry up and fill the blocks into the pit." Chen Xingjie commanded.
It was obvious that two villages were building a road, but Xu Wenyan did not see the old man from Xujia Village.
"Wen Yan, your method is amazing." Chen Xingjie came over with a smile: "If we had used your method at the beginning, our Jixiang Village would have had a shortcut long ago."
“I accidentally poured water on a rock in the pit while cooking, and the rock cracked.
I thought the same would be true for big rocks, but I didn’t expect it to actually work.”
While Xu Wenyan was talking to Chen Xingjie, a man from Xujia Village found Chen Sanlin.
"Hello, you can just call me Lao Wan. Are you the hunter from Jixiang Village?"
The man looked a bit dark, shirtless, and apart from the fact that he had no abdominal muscles, he was obviously a strong man.
Just by listening to him speak, Chen Sanlin smelled the bad breath in his mouth and couldn't help but move back.
"Well, what happened?"
Lao Wan laughed and said, "Hey, I'm a hunter from Xujia Village. You know that autumn is a good season for hunting.
But I am alone and weak, and there are wolves in the mountains recently, so I wanted to go with you."
Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan at this time.
If he had agreed before, every hunter has a different hunting method and everyone would be willing to hunt together.
Any experienced hunter knows how difficult it is to hunt in the mountains.
But didn’t he make Xu Wenyan angry a few days ago? If Xu Wenyan wants to go, he will go.
"I'll discuss it with my wife." Chen Sanlin said calmly.
"Ah? Brother, why do we men still discuss things with our wives? What do they know?" Lao Wan threw his clothes away.
Chen Sanlin could smell the stench of sweat. How on earth did a man like this find a wife?
"Go ahead." Xu Wenyan came over at this time: "We will be busy in a few days and won't have time to hunt."
"Brother, have you found a man?" Lao Wan was about to reach out to pull Chen Sanlin, but was slapped away by Chen Sanlin.
"Oh, brother, it's better for you to raise a woman than this pretty boy. A woman can give birth to a son. It's useless for you to raise a boy.
My wife is very beautiful, I will introduce her to you later."
Chen Sanlin looked at him with some disgust: "No need."
He pulled Xu Wenyan and prepared to leave. Lao Wan behind him shook his head and said, "Hey, brother! I'm going to rest tomorrow. Let's go up the mountain together! Don't forget!"
Xu Wenyan has experienced a lot of things like this, so there is no need to care about such people. When you are away from home, your own interests are the most important.
Xu Wenyan could see that Chen Sanlin really wanted to go out hunting, and he could also find out what treasures there were in the deep mountains of Xujia Village.
Maybe it’s different from the ones in Jixiang Village.
Moreover, in the first few days after the war, most of the things in the mountains had been picked by the villagers, which actually had some impact on the ecology.
Xu Wenyan estimated that there would not be as many dandelions next year.
"Wife, let's not go." Chen Sanlin took Xu Wenyan to sit aside.
"Go ahead, why not? Show your best and take all the prey from that grandson."
Chen Sanlin felt that his wife wanted him to vent his anger: "Okay."
