Chapter 40: An accident happened to Da Yong

On the Wanzhuang Avenue in Ningjiazhuang, farmers in groups of three or three are busy working in the fields or workshops. They rarely get up so early and have papermaking in their hearts. There is no way, even if they forget, they will have the opportunity to remember it every day.

"Sir, it's so early!"

Seeing that I was coming from afar, the merchants retreated to the side of the road, bowed and bowed, with a look of fear and fear.

"Early, everyone, have you used breakfast?"

With a kind smile on his face, from the heart, these farmers are the main force of the Ning family and are the biggest heroes of my daily ability to lie on the free chair. Without these farmers who get up early and work late, there would be no food in my Ning Wen's belly. I have no class concept. If not now, there will never be any future. We have been educated by the Party for many years. Although we are given the title of the county, we have never forgotten to transform our outlook on life and worldview.

"Hehe, Mr. Xie is worried. He has used all the porridge, which is only the Ningjiazhuang households can eat."

The simple words of the merchants made me very pleased, and solving food and clothing is my biggest goal this year. It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, it is a foregone conclusion to complete it in advance. It can be seen from the thickness of the breakfast. Of course, eating breakfast was suggested by Dr. Xie. I heard that it can reduce the probability of gallstones and is also a good living habit. So Dr. Xie convinced most merchants to eat more or less every morning with the good reputation established in the merchants' hearts. Moreover, the liquor poem I arranged was also taught to Dr. Xie. As the saying goes, eating early is good, eating full at noon, and eating less at night. Dr. Xie also felt it made sense, so in Ningjia Village, you can hear the elderly telling the liquor poem to children from time to time.

The ground of Sanhe soil now appears in the homes of some farmers with relatively high labor force. Uncle Li arranged for people to do it. The ingredients were prepared in the workshop and pulled them away directly with a ox cart. The Sanhe soil used in the yard of the family around him was used. The men went out to work, and only a few women were left, and they were not idle. Since the tea I drank became popular in the farm, the farmers who had the method either let their children or let women pick new tea in the mountains. They thought about stir-frying in the pot, and they looked good, but they didn't know what the taste was. The tea I drank was made by Sangouzi himself. Of course, I learned about finishing and fermenting. The tea made by Sangouzi can also taste the flavor of later generations. It would be even better if there were some jasmine flowers.

Today is the final assembly time for the water pounding house. Master Zhou and Carpenter Zhao were there early, including Uncle Li Dayong, who also came. After all, it is papermaking. In the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the royal papermaking workshop, I have never heard of anyone who made paper and high-tech industries. We are at the forefront of the times.

"Let's start!"

Now there are two free chairs in each workshop, all of which are prepared for me. Of course, the second girl has a share. The girl who follows me is now too arrogant, and Dayong and Sangouzi dare not joke around. They are all in a regular manner and look very funny.

I didn’t choose any auspicious days. A few days ago, Uncle Li planned to see a good day. There was no need. Now, there are inventions and creations in the village a few days later. They all look for auspicious days. There are not a few days in the year. Seeing that I insisted, Uncle Li muttered a few words to get things done.

Lying on the free-standing chair, there were still a few snacks and fruits next to me, and then Erya was lying down while pretending to be lying, but it was a little distance from me. It was also true that this handful of lying with a man was not something that ancient women could accept.

Before noon, the water pounding was installed. I opened the water gate and slowly opened it in the pounding nest. It was completed. Look at the basic lever structure. The main trunk was made of a whole piece of log, and the pounding head was embedded with iron heads. The pounding nest was also made of iron and very strong. I guessed that it could at least become a cultural relics and pass on to future generations. By the way, let Carpenter Zhao find a way to write a few words.

"Ning's water pounding, yes, that's the name."

If you have selfish intentions, if it is passed down to later generations, we can at least enter the Kangxi Dictionary or something.

The three pounding heads are constantly pounding rhythmically under the power of the water flow, allowing Master Zhou to close the water gate. This is also a creative invention. With this valve, it can be turned off when you are not used on weekdays, which can at least reduce the wear of the pounding head and extend the service life.

It was time for Dayong to come back. Dayong took thirty farmers to Dongshan to cut bamboo today. It was almost done. The papermaking workshop had already set fire and just waited for the bamboo to be cooked in a pot. This is also one of the papermaking processes.

It’s strange that Dayong is very good at doing things on weekdays, so why are you still not here today? When lunch time comes, we planned to eat and wait. Before we were halfway through, news came that Dayong and the others met coyotes on the East Mountain. No one was injured. It was just that Dayong ran into the deep mountains to restrain the coyotes. It has been more than an hour now, and life and death are uncertain!

When we heard this, we were shocked and jumped up all of a sudden. We really forgot about this thing. Several people rushed to Dongshan, feeling anxious. Dayong was my first friend to the Tang Dynasty. Although there was a master and servant, I never thought he was a servant in my heart. Now that my life and death are uncertain, why are I not very anxious?

The ox cart was moving forward at the fastest speed. Sangouzi, who was very sorry for the ox, whipped the ox hard, and sweat beads on his face flowed up his neck along his cheeks. He was so anxious that he came to the foot of Dongshan in just a quarter of an hour. Dayong's mother had already come, and her voice was hoarse, and she couldn't cry at this moment.

Holding Dayong's hand, he kept comforting and quickly sent people into the mountain. Dayong is very popular in the village on weekdays, and my family head is also present. Soon, the mountain search team composed of eighty strong farmers was established. Sangouzi, Master Zhou, Carpenter Zhao, and Li Er each led a team of 20 people, each in a fan shape, with a fire note for each ten people, ten steps apart. Starting from the place where the coyotes were found, searching the mountain. No matter how you find Dayong, you should directly ignite the fire to warn. If you don't find Dayong, you must go down the mountain before dark.

"Uncle Li, hurry up and prepare the torch and gather some people. They will come down later and we will come."

"But Sir, you must not go up there. You are the backbone of our Ning family!"

When Uncle Li heard that I was going up, he became anxious and hurriedly pulled me. He was so excited just now that Uncle Li pulled me up, I woke up. I couldn’t have something wrong. Yu'er is pregnant with this child now. If something happens, how can this whole family live?

"Er Yatou, go back and tell your wife that I'm fine here and I won't go up the mountain in person. Go quickly."

I almost forgot to send a message to Yu'er. If Yu'er is anxious and rushed over, forget it, and if there is anything, it will be troublesome.

The dense figures on the distant hillside gradually disappeared into the dense woods. Now is the most difficult time. I comforted Dayong's mother, for fear that something would happen to her. Alas, Dayong, you have to go down the mountain alive!

Half an hour later, a noise came from Fengshou Avenue behind him. Yu'er rushed over despite her pregnancy, with red eyes. She probably burst into tears when she heard the news.

"Oh, why are you here? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Dayong's mother hurriedly supported Yu'er and sadly advised Yu'er to go back.

"Mother Dayong, it's okay. With the Lord here, Dayong will definitely be fine."

Yu'er showed great calmness. Although she was holding my hand and trembling slightly, she could not hear any cowardice in her words.

Time passed very slowly, and everyone calmed down. Listening carefully to the sounds in the mountains, some people gradually became anxious. It was already two hours, and there had not been any fire or smoke in the mountains.

The palm of my hand was sweating. Yu'er pinched my palm, looked back at Yu'er, grinned and smiled bitterly, turned around, and secretly called in his heart, Dayong, but you have to hold on, the people who saved you have gone up the mountain.
