Chapter 67 Let Her Lead the Way
Li Laosan had just recovered from a serious injury and had worked a whole day. He was very tired at this time, but after confirming the value of the coal, he became very happy.
"Let's take more of this stuff with us when we leave. When we get to northern Hubei, I'll talk to General Liang and the others about it. I heard that there are also such stones in northern Hubei."
Li Laosan has always been thinking about Liu Junyan who was captured by the Jun people. If he can make up for his mistake, he will certainly not miss the opportunity.
And telling the Hubei Northern Army about Shi Nie's role is undoubtedly a good idea.
When Shen Qingqian heard that there was coal in northern Hubei, she felt relieved and suddenly felt some hope for the future.
Coal plays a vital role in the history of industrial development. Compared with ordinary firewood, the temperature generated by coal combustion is higher. If used well, it may allow this era to enter a light industrial society ahead of time.
Of course, it’s too early to think about these things now. Let’s just get through tonight and start stockpiling food tomorrow!
That night, Shen Qingqian and the others used local materials and coal to keep warm. Not only did they light several piles of coal around the tent, they also lit a few piles next to the ventilation holes in the tent. In this way, everyone had a warm and good sleep.
After a good rest, everyone was in good spirits when they woke up the next day. Even Liang looked very healthy and was able to move with the team.
"Today we're going to search for food within a ten-mile radius. Divide ourselves into ten groups, with each group consisting of a man and a woman. Whenever we come across a tall tree with edible fruit, we'll pick it and take it away. Don't miss out on anything edible. Do you understand?"
Li Laosan shouted in front of everyone, quickly dividing Shen Qingqian and others into ten groups, and appointed a captain for each group.
The team was in order, and Li Laosan gave the order, "Let's go!"
Everyone scattered.
Except for Shen Yong who was taken away by Ling Yun, and Wu who stayed in the camp to look after a few children, the rest of the Shen family were scattered around the camp looking for food.
Shen Qingqian and her sisters were in the same team, while Shen Xiao and the others were, of course, assigned to other teams as captains.
There are many women in their team, so Sheng Ze was assigned to this group. Firstly, he is good at fighting, and secondly, he can protect Shen Qingqian and the others.
Li Laosan still values the Shen family very much, and the girls of the Shen family are all precious, so his distribution can be regarded as a favor to Shen Xiao.
With Sheng Ze here, he is naturally the captain of the team.
However, after Sheng Ze led Shen Qingqian and the others out of the camp, he immediately turned around and said to them, "I'm not familiar with the things in the mountains. Are there any of you willing to lead the way?"
He grew up with his master, and learning martial arts and various knowledge took up all his time. Naturally, he had no chance to experience the wildness of the mountains.
Shen Qingman and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They also didn't understand at all!
So, everyone's eyes finally fell on Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian pointed at herself and said, "You don't want me to lead the way, do you?"
Shen Qingning chuckled and said, "Sixth sister, those who are capable should do more work. You've read a lot of books, so you must know more than us. With Third Brother Youcheng paving the way for you, I believe you two can definitely lead us to find food!"
Shen Qingqian: "I really don't know where her mysterious confidence in herself comes from."
However, compared to these ancient women who never left their homes, she had watched some documentaries and gone hiking with others, so she definitely knew more about the wild than they did.
"Okay, but let me tell you first, I may not be able to find anything." Shen Qingqian gave them a heads-up so that they wouldn't blame her later.
