Chapter 81: Xie Xuan rescues

After galloping for an unknown distance, Xie Xuan finally pulled the reins, slowly stopped, and looked down at Su Shengsheng, whose face was pale in his arms.

Although Su Shengsheng's life was saved, she was still terrified.

It was really because she was too close to death this time that she really lost two of her three souls.

After Xie Xuan stopped the horse, Su Shengsheng gently patted his chest, trying to calm his inner panic.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she noticed that the little fat bird she was holding tightly in her hand had its head drooped and was dying.

"Didn't he get crushed to death?" Fearing that the little guy would die due to his recklessness, Su Shengsheng quickly put two fingers together and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on it.

Xie Xuan's eyes were cold, "You climbed to such a dangerous place just for it?"

After a few presses, the little fat baby finally caught his breath and opened his eyes ignorantly.

Seeing that the little fat bird had finally recovered, Su Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to pick it up, she was met with Xie Xuan's angry eyes.

"Ahem." She coughed awkwardly a few times, quickly covering up her own boasting and pushing the responsibility onto Ning Jie.

"Young Master Ning is so kind-hearted. I can't help it." After saying this, she realized that she was still sitting on Xie Xuan's horse.

"Well, thank you very much for saving my life today, General." Su Shengsheng was worried that Ning Jie was still in the forest, and was afraid that he was in danger, so she wanted to jump off the horse.

But as soon as he stood up, Xie Xuan pressed him back firmly.

This scene is inexplicably familiar.

However, last time she was in his cloak, she couldn't see his expression.

This time, Xie Xuan looked straight at her, as if with deep meaning.

Su Shengsheng's body stiffened slightly, and she looked at him in confusion: "General?"

The little fat bird in her hand seemed to sense the subtle change in the atmosphere and chirped twice in confusion.

Xie Xuan followed her jade hand holding the bird and looked at her empty wrist. After a long silence, he asked, "Why didn't you bring it?"

?

Su Shengsheng followed Xie Xuan's gaze, and it took her a while to realize that he was talking about the bracelet.

She was puzzled and didn't understand why Xie Xuan suddenly asked this, so she said vaguely: "It's too expensive..."

It’s really strange to say, why did Xie Xuan give her the bracelet last time?

But at this moment, Su Shengsheng didn't dare to ask this question rashly.

Perhaps in Xie Xuan's eyes, this tourmaline was as common as cabbage, and someone just gave it to her casually. But when she asked about it, it seemed strange.

"Well, Young Master Ning is still in the woods. I..." He quickly interrupted her, "My people are watching him."

Oh, it turns out his people are already looking at Ning Jie.

But even so, Su Shengsheng felt that it was not appropriate for her to stay on Xie Xuan's horse any longer.

Especially at this moment, she could still feel the warmth from his body... She couldn't help but cough twice in embarrassment.

Su Shengsheng suddenly remembered the reason why she was hiding from people.

Could it be that the general came to question her because of the uproar caused by that incident?

Thinking of this, she was about to explain, but Xie Xuan said calmly: "Don't do such dangerous things in the future."

Su Shengsheng stared blankly at Xie Xuan's serious expression, and couldn't help but think to herself: Has this general been misunderstood too deeply by the world?

He doesn't look lonely at all!

"I'll pay attention next time." Su Shengsheng answered awkwardly.

"Where are you going? I'll take you there." Xie Xuan's voice came again.

Um?

He is really easy to get along with!

But how could Su Shengsheng dare to trouble this precious prince again?

"No need, I'm nearby." She quickly refused.

However, Xie Xuan glanced meaningfully at her dress that was torn by the branches and said, "I'll take you there."

For some reason, Su Shengsheng suddenly felt uncomfortable when he looked at her.

She slid down the edge of the saddle and declined awkwardly, "I dare not trouble you, General."

This time she didn't strangle the fat little girl to death.

She pulled the hem of her skirt back over her trousers and thanked Xie Xuan again: "Thank you, General."

Xie Xuan gently grasped the white jade hairpin that had fallen on the saddle when she slipped, then took off his cloak and threw it to her: "Put it on."

Su Shengsheng was knocked back a step by the strong wind brought by the cloak.

After seeing the cloak clearly in front of her, how could she dare to put it on?

"The factory is not far from here. I have some clothes there. The general's cloak..." She was about to refuse.

But before she could finish, Xie Xuan disappeared into the distance.

???

Is this general getting impatient?

Wasn't she afraid to wear the cloak because it was embroidered with a purple python?

She lowered her head and checked her clothes again, her eyes full of doubt. "It's not immoral!"

It's just a few rips, isn't it? It's not that noticeable.

Forget it, I guess the ancients were all so conservative.

Seeing that the person was getting farther and farther away, Su Shengsheng had no choice but to hold her cloak tightly and start walking back.

Ning Jie stayed where he was, head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

The troops left behind by Xie Xuan were also riding away.

At this moment, Su Shengsheng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This is not a hunting ground, why is Xie Xuan here?

Thinking of his hesitation to speak, Su Shengsheng touched her nose. Could it be that he came to ask her questions because of Miss Luo's matter?

Just as she was staring at Xie Xuan's departing figure, she heard Ning Jie let out a few "ah, ah" sounds.

Su Shengsheng immediately turned her gaze away, "Take your time, there's no rush."

Ancestor, you finally spoke up. It's been almost two months.

If she waited another month, she would be in real danger.

After all, Fan Wenchang was still waiting to cause trouble for her.

Seeing that Ning Jie had admitted defeat and was willing to cooperate, Su Shengsheng immediately put the matter between Xie Xuan and Miss Luo out of her mind.

"You've only been speaking for a month, so it's normal for your pronunciation to be different from others. There's no one else here, so don't worry."

However, when she thought of the snake above her head, she felt that this sparse woods was no longer safe.

So she handed the little fat dog to Ning Jie.

"Look at it, isn't it very brave? Knowing it couldn't fight the invading snake, it made a desperate leap and jumped down from the tree. Then we rescued it. Although it is still very weak now, it will be able to soar into the sky one day."

As the two of them walked slowly towards the factory, they listened to the little fat bird's calls, and Ning Jie responded from time to time.

…

Finally, Su Shengsheng received a letter from her cousin Li Xiang.

They have bought up 20 shops along the way and started to renovate them.

The Su family's business name is also prominently displayed on the shop.

At first, Su Shengsheng planned to contact an existing business or escort team to join forces.

However, unfortunately, people saw that she was weak and alone, and were unwilling to cooperate with her.

She had no choice but to pay out of her own pocket to open up the lines, using thermoses as the main product to attract customers, and then gradually expand other businesses.

But unexpectedly, there is always a way out.

After digging only two hundred meters on the barren mountain, they unexpectedly discovered combustible ice.

Su Shengsheng was almost cheering on the barren mountain.

Winter is about to come and all projects have to come to a halt, but this natural gas is still selling like hotcakes!

The climate of Tianqian Pass is unpredictable, and one can experience the changes of four seasons in a day, and it also changes with the rotation of the major seasons.

As winter approaches, the warm sunshine in the afternoon disappears in a flash, and the wind lasts longer and longer.

In order to catch up with the heating bonus period, Su Shengsheng worked overtime in the makeshift laboratory, almost forgetting to eat and sleep.

Natural gas does not necessarily have to be converted into electricity to provide heating; the heat can be transferred directly from the furnace to the radiator through pipes.

It can also be combined heat and power, part of which is used for electricity generation and part for heating.

Also, trigeneration of heat, cooling and electricity.

This kind of production capacity technology is relatively high-energy.

High-level natural gas energy can be used to generate electricity, and low-level electricity can be used for cooling or heating, making full use of energy in a step-by-step manner.

In a place like Tianqianguan, the third method is undoubtedly the best choice, simply because the climate here is changeable.

In order to achieve his goal in one go, Su Shengsheng did not intend to pocket all the profits, but chose to benefit the people.

The living environment here is completely different from that of modern times, with residents being too scattered. It is obviously difficult to lay pipelines over a large area.

To avoid high costs, she first used ceramic radiators to reduce the high consumption of minerals such as iron.

She then turned to conquering the ceramic's ability to withstand high temperatures and pressure.

While everyone was racing against time on the desolate mountain, the neighboring Chiyan City was also not idle.

The Xuanming Palace, which occupies an entire street, is looking for craftsmen to bring hot spring water into the master's courtyard.

There are rumors outside that King Xuanming, who is over the age of coming of age, is finally preparing to marry a princess.

Chiyan City is finally welcoming a real hostess.
