Chapter 243: Yes! They are all yours, and I am yours too!
As the night fell, the villagers, who had been tired all day, finally had a rest. After some discussion, they assigned the night shift personnel, and then went back to their respective resting places and went to bed early.
Yun Duo returned to her and Li Xiuxiu's tent and told her that she was going out with Cheng Yuheng to do some errands and might not be back until very late.
Li Xiuxiu knew that her daughter had the ability to protect herself and that she possessed a mysterious portable space that allowed her to enter and exit freely when in danger.
In addition, their family has already learned Cheng Yuheng's true identity and understood that he must have important matters to deal with when going out with Yun Duo, so Li Xiuxiu agreed with confidence.
Li Xiuxiu told Yun Duo to be careful and reminded her to come back early. Yun Duo smiled and nodded, assuring her mother that she would be careful.
Then she turned and left the room, meeting Cheng Yuheng who was waiting outside the door.
Without letting the guards follow them, the two men quietly walked into the mountains and blended into the darkness.
After walking for a while, there was no one around, so Cheng Yuheng squatted down and said, "Come on, I'll carry you and you can go into the space to rest. You can come out in an hour."
Yun Duo lay on Cheng Yuheng's back without asking where they were going. Cheng Yuheng used a piece of cloth to hold Yun Duo and tied them together. She obediently entered the space.
Cheng Yuheng used his lightness skills to shuttle through the steep Yanqi Mountains. He crossed mountains and climbed several cliffs, and it took him almost an hour to reach his destination.
She pulled aside the weeds, raised her feet, and walked around in a chaotic yet orderly manner, then stopped at the entrance of a cave.
Cheng Yuheng looked at his watch. It was less than a quarter of an hour before the agreed time. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The agreed time arrived. Cheng Yuheng felt a sinking sensation on his back, knowing that Yun Duo had left the space. Lying on his back, he saw the entrance to a cave in front of him.
"Are we there yet?"
he said as he put him on the ground.
"Duo'er, this cave entrance is connected to the depths of Yanqi Mountain. It is the entrance for transporting food and fodder to the Xuanming Army. Come on, I'll take you in."
Cheng Yuheng took a high-power flashlight given by Yun Duo and entered the cave with Yun Duo.
The cave is not big, about ten meters square, and is surrounded by stone walls. It doesn’t look like anything special, it’s just a very ordinary cave.
"Duo'er, hold the flashlight and wait for me at the cave entrance." Cheng Yuheng instructed. Then, he began to walk in circles inside the cave entrance, his steps were even and orderly.
Cheng Yuheng walked with skillful steps, explaining as he walked: "A special formation is arranged here. On odd days, we need to move forward according to the law of the five elements, and on even days, we need to move according to the law of the five elements.
Today is the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, so we need to proceed according to the rule of the five elements.
This is actually the secret food and grass base of the Xuanming Army in the Yanqi Mountains, with four entrances in the east, south, west and north. "
Then, Cheng Yuheng explained in detail the principle of the five elements: "Wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood.
The south belongs to fire, the east belongs to wood, the north belongs to water, the west belongs to metal, and the center belongs to earth, which help maintain the balance of metal, wood, water and fire.
The entrance of the cave we entered is located in the north. Water produces wood, and wood belongs to the east. From the first to the tenth day of the lunar month, each day corresponds to a specific number of steps, with ten days as a cycle.
Today is the fifth day of the lunar year, so we must first walk five steps toward the east, with each step about one foot long, then wood generates fire, then walk five steps toward the south, and finally walk to the central earth position.
As he finished speaking, he walked to the center. As soon as he stopped, the stone wall on the innermost side of the cave slowly moved, and a cave entrance appeared.
Even though Yun Duo had already seen the formation of the Jin Yumantang treasury, he still couldn't help but sigh: The wonder of this formation is that it is almost catching up with modern high technology, and that high technology still needs the help of electricity!
Cheng Yuheng pulled Yun Duo and walked inside. After entering the cave, he pressed a protruding stone next to it and the entrance closed.
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a relatively spacious place. There were two doors on each side. Cheng Yuheng pointed to the two doors on the right and said softly, "The big one is where food is stored. The small one is for oil, salt and some daily necessities; the two doors on the left are for weapons and clothes and bedding."
He took out a small key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it gently. The door slowly opened. The scene that Yun Duo imagined of a warehouse full of grain did not appear. He shone a flashlight, and found a dark and empty cave with less than one-third of the grain stored inside.
"This is last year's stored food. Although the quantity is not small, it can only feed the 20,000 people in Yanqi Mountain for about three or four months. If there are no other unexpected situations, it should be able to last until the autumn harvest. This time, 20,000 troops were transferred from other places. However, the food cannot be delivered in time for the time being, and these stored food cannot sustain livelihoods for a long time. Fortunately, Duo'er has that magical space, so we don't need to spend manpower and material resources to transport food, saving a lot of resources and energy."
Yun Duo walked into the warehouse, looked around at the empty space with the help of a flashlight and said, "If we take out half of the food that has been stored in the space, we can fill this place up." After she finished speaking, she moved her mind, and the warehouse was filled with neatly arranged bags of food.
Yun Duo left the warehouse, closed the door and asked Cheng Yuheng to lock it.
She walked to the door of the small warehouse next door. There was no lock on the door, so she pushed it gently and it opened. Yun Duo was surprised to see that it was full of sacks.
Yun Duo touched it with her hand and it didn't look like food. She opened her pocket and saw that the sack was filled with coarse salt.
The salt grains are coarse and a little yellow, and you can tell at a glance that there are a lot of impurities mixed in.
Yun Duo asked in confusion: "Is this the kind of salt that soldiers eat? Why don't they refine so much salt into refined salt?"
Seeing this salt, Yun Duo couldn't help but think of the salt sold on the market and the salt that ordinary people eat on a daily basis. They are slightly whiter than the salt in front of him, with relatively fewer impurities, but still look rougher than refined salt.
Cheng Yuheng said awkwardly: "The supplies prepared by the Golden Palace are hidden in the base outside Dongzhou City. Because the northern invaders invaded the border, Yanqi Pass is heavily guarded and supplies cannot be transported in.
The salt was discovered recently in a small salt mine in the mountains, so the soldiers would not be cut off from salt. The process of refining salt is still controlled by the court. We only recently discovered the salt mine and have not yet mastered the refining method. "
Cloud-like eyes looked at Cheng Yuheng and said with a smile: "I know this, I'll print a copy for you later."
After that, Yun Duo took out a bag of refined salt from the kitchen of the villa in the space, "Yu Heng, when you see this, my method can make these coarse salts into this kind of white and fine refined salt. What do you think? With my method and your salt mine, we will become rich."
Cheng Yuheng liked to see Yun Duo's money-grubber look, so he tapped his forehead lightly, "Little money-grubber, there are so many gold, silver and jewelry in the space, you must have become rich a long time ago."
"That's different. Most of those are your wealth. The rest are all unearned. It's different from earning it yourself. You provide the salt and I'll provide the method and technology to invest. When we sell the refined salt, we'll split the profits 50-50, okay?" Yun Duo said excitedly, shaking Cheng Yuheng's arm.
"No need to divide it, I'll give it all to you. From now on, everything I have is yours."
"Okay, everything that's yours is mine, and everything that's mine is still mine. Hahaha, then I'd be a rich woman."
Cheng Yuheng was also pleased by Yun Duo's money-loving look and said with a smile, "Yes! Everything is yours, and I am yours too!"
