Chapter 18: Setting Fire to the Mountain



The soldier wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only keep silent and wait for the scolding.

"Didn't I hear that Jinyan and his wife are still having conflicts? One of them can't even fart in the army for a long time, while the other one is dressed up and running around everywhere. It's really outrageous. This couple really needs to learn a lesson."

He glared at the soldier: "You are disturbing the morale of the army."

I don't know if this was a veiled attack or not, but I didn't dare to say a word or ask a question.

Jiang Mengning never thought that she would be caught by the political commissar just because she asked for directions.

Now she reached the south side of the mountain and saw many cacti.

The big one was twice as tall as her.

There were indeed a lot of cochineal insects parasitizing on the cactus leaves.

Cochineal appears silvery white in color, but turns blood red if you gently brush it with your hands.

There are many prickly pears on the cactus, and the fruits are edible. They taste a bit like dragon fruit, but not as sweet as dragon fruit. There are many seeds in them, so it’s okay to eat them for fun.

Jiang Mengning took a small brush and brushed the cochineal into the glass jar.

In a short while, the jar was full.

She can't make many lipsticks for the time being, and she doesn't plan to take too many cochineal insects back, so she will keep the rest to reproduce slowly!

After collecting the cochineal, she wandered around the mountains again.

There is another very important material in making lipstick, beeswax.

Without beeswax, it won't take shape.

Jiang Mengning was looking to see if there were any wild beehives. If she couldn't find any, she would have to buy some.

Fortunately, she was very lucky and saw a very large beehive on an old locust tree.

It’s really big, as big as an adult man can hold in his arms.

There are also many bees coming in and out to collect pollen and make nectar.

Her eyes were wide open.

"Wow, it's so big!"

Isn’t this the rhythm of getting rich?

Sure enough, whether it is a time-traveling girl or a reborn girl, they all have the aura of the protagonist.

Here, the halo comes into play.

Whatever you think comes true.

Opportunity is fleeting, so she put down the basket and prepared to get the honey.

Haven’t you eaten pork but seen a pig run?

She certainly knew how to confuse the bees.

Use smoke.

Under the influence of smoke, these bees will temporarily lose their ability to attack.

She went to pull out some green grass, leaves, and dry grass.

Light the thatch and place it under the tree.

Then cover the fire with green grass and leaves that are not easy to burn, and the fire will be extinguished immediately, and then thick smoke will come out.

"Cough cough cough."

Jiang Mengning was coughing continuously because of the smoke. She had never suffered such a torture before. She was almost dead.

As the smoke rose, the bees sensed the danger and fled in all directions.

Jiang Mengning was about to try to climb a tree to dig out a beehive.

But she had never climbed a tree before, and it seemed easy for others to climb, but it was very difficult for her.

I tried hard several times, but couldn't climb up even a step.

In this situation, how can we make a beehive?

Just let her die of exhaustion.

"Boss, there is a fire. Someone set fire to the mountain."

Suddenly a voice was heard, and as the voice fell, a group of soldiers quickly rushed out from all directions.

They reacted very quickly and quickly kicked away and cleaned up the fire that had not yet burned completely.

There's a fire on the mountain. It's very dangerous.

The weather is dry in summer, and if the fire cannot be put out, the surrounding residents will be affected.

"Who is setting fire in the mountains on such a hot day? Are you trying to burn the mountains down?"

Duan Xiaowu was so angry that he turned around and glared at the person under the tree.

But when he saw it was Jiang Mengning, he was so scared that his eyes almost popped out.

"Ah! Captain, the arsonist, oh no, your wife... your wife is the arsonist!"

He was confused. What was going on?

What new tricks does the leader’s wife have today?

He is indeed a troublesome person.

The crowd made way for Huo Jinyan to walk over.

The man frowned and looked at Jiang Mengning in confusion.

"What are you doing!"

Jiang Mengning: "..." She just wanted to take some beeswax, how did it become burning bandits?

I quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. I just want the honeycomb on top, I don't want to burn the mountain!"

She was afraid that if she explained too slowly, she would be taken away and locked up in a small dark room.

Huo Jinyan walked up to Jiang Mengning and looked down at her.
