[Gao Zhang: Mom, I asked Brother Shitou to take me out to play, and he even treated me to chestnuts!]

Hearing the sound, Wang Cui was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that things would be like this.

[Gao Zhang: Mom, can I still hang out with Brother Shitou in the future? 】

[Wang Cui: Zhang'er, be good, you are still young and it is too dangerous outside. When you grow up, I will let you and your brother Shitou and the others come out to play. 】

[Gao Zhang: Brother Shitou has always protected me, it’ll be okay.]

Hearing the sound, Wang Cui's eyes looking at Gao Shi softened instantly.

Xu Xin also patted Gao Shi.

[Xu Xin: I guess you know the severity, I will teach you a lesson when I get back. 】

After some exchanges, Wang Cui will take the game character back.

At this time, Gao Shi suddenly made a sound.

[Takaishi: Crab, crab!

】

As he spoke, he quickly came to Wang Cui carrying a bunch of crabs and handed them to her.

Wang Cui was a little confused.

[Wang Cui: Shitou, is this what your mother meant? 】

Gao Shi shook his head.

[Gao Shi: I made an agreement with Brother Zhang that as long as Brother Zhang helps me catch crabs, I will share some with him. These are mine, and these two are shared by Gao Nan and the others.]

Wang Cui looked back and forth between the faces of the game character and Gao Shi with a suspicious expression.

[Wang Cui: Zhang'er is so young, can he help you catch crabs?]

Hearing the sound, Gao Shi was obviously taken aback.

Obviously he didn't know how to explain it. After all, Lin Qian'an's initial excuse was the technique taught by his father.

Lin Qian'an was afraid that Gao Shi would talk nonsense, so she quickly typed an answer.

[Gao Zhang: Mom, my eyesight is very good. I can see where those crabs are.]

After hearing this, Wang Cui really believed it.

[Wang Cui: I didn’t expect my son to have such a talent. It’s really a blessing from my ancestors.]

As she spoke, she also took the crab over, and then planned to leave.

Seeing Wang Cui about to leave, Gao Shi asked.

[Gao Shi: Aunt Wang, can I still take Brother Zhang out to play in the future? 】

Hearing the sound, Xu Xin, who was next to him, grabbed Gao Shi's ear again without waiting for Wang Cui to reply.

[Xu Xin: You don’t remember to eat but not to fight, don’t you?

】

[Gao Shi: Hey, it hurts, mother, please let go!]

Wang Cui paused, then showed a smile.

[Wang Cui: Sister Xu, don’t pull Gao Shi’s ears. Don’t turn around and break them.]

[Xu Xin: Humph, I’d better cut off my ears that don’t understand words, so as not to cause trouble for me in the future! 】

Although he said this, Xu Xin still let go of his hand and gently rubbed Gao Shi without leaving any trace.

Wang Cui looked at Gao Shi and asked softly.

[Wang Cui: Shitou, you can take Zhang'er out to play, but you have to make sure he doesn't get hurt, do you understand? 】

Seeing this, Gao Shi quickly patted his chest.

[Gao Shi: I understand, I understand! Don’t worry, Aunt Wang, as long as I’m here, I guarantee that Brother Zhang won’t be harmed at all, and even mosquitoes won’t be able to bite him!]

Hearing this, Wang Cuicai smiled and nodded.

[Wang Cui: Well, then I’m relieved. 】

After saying this, Wang Cuicai left with the game character in his arms.

Lin Qian'an breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wang Cui relented, otherwise there would probably be trouble later.

Fast forward time, less than half a month passed quickly.

In the past half month, Gao Shi has taken game characters out to play almost every day.

At first, Wang Cui would come out from time to time to see if Gao Shi was taking the game characters to do any dangerous activities, but then he gradually became relieved.

Because Lin Qian'an never controls the game characters to climb trees and enter the water, he always just watches from the side.

Moreover, Gao Shi also takes good care of her, and other children have to get over him to get over their mischief.

As a result, Wang Cui quickly relaxed the restrictions on game characters.

On the other hand, Lin Qian'an has also accumulated enough prestige among this group of children. Whether fishing or catching shrimp, wherever he points, there must be something.

This also makes the daily life of the game characters easier.

Moreover, Lin Qian'an also asked these children to steal some salt and try to make fine salt.

Due to limited conditions, the filtering was not very good, but the color was much purer.

At least the obvious impurities are no longer visible.

This is already a good that can be sold.

However, when Lin Qian'an found out that it was nearly ten miles away from the city, she gave up the idea.

And the most important thing is that he can't find a partner for the time being.

As honest as the game character's father is, if he masters this wonderful method of making money, he will probably be eaten right down to his skin and bones.

Time passes, and a few months pass quickly. The weather is getting colder, and it is unreasonably cold.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, streams froze, and a thick layer of ice appeared in the river. The work of moving cargo at Wangming Port also came to a standstill, and the price of charcoal began to skyrocket.

Lin Qian'an recalled what she had said about the disaster year before, and she had some guesses in her mind.

Sure enough, the cold days continued for several months and did not get better when spring began. When it was time for the villagers to plant seeds, the cold did not subside.

Then comes disaster.

The villagers starved to death and froze to death.

Some of them were unwilling and tried to escape with their families, but it was to no avail.

This disaster affected almost half of the beam.

The game character's father works for the Sun family in the port, and he can barely get a little food from them, but other families are not so good.

Gao Shi was sold to the city by his father, but he himself starved to death.

The fate of the other children was also extremely miserable, and no two were good.

Lin Qian'an began to think about how to change this situation.

The game characters have limited abilities, are too young, and are too insignificant to face natural disasters.

In a small wooden house, beside a simple campfire, Wang Cui was holding a game character and chatting with Gao Ming.

[Wang Cui: When my sister came to us to borrow food, she said that another person in Wangjia Village was killed by black smoke while burning coal for heating. Alas! 】

[Gao Ming: There is no way. With this damn weather, we will freeze to death if we don’t burn coal... We don’t have much food at home. I’ll ask the owner for some credit tomorrow. I hope I can spend this period of time smoothly, otherwise

....]

....

Lin Qian'an, who was thinking about the problem, accurately captured what Wang Cui said about someone burning coal and dying.

This sentence reveals some information.

First, there seems to be a coal mine nearby?

Second, people in this world do not have the technology to make anthracite.

Third, the way they burn coal for heating seems unscientific.

Immediately, Lin Qian'an asked Wang Cui about these three questions.

Wang Cui also answered.

Coal mines do exist, and they are semi-open-air. There are two coal mountains with a large output. They are near Wangjia Village. However, because people have been poisoned by burning coal, they are superstitious that coal is poisonous and no one dares to burn coal.

Naturally, no one knows about anthracite.

In addition, they do not understand the factors that require ventilation when burning coal for heating, and many of them may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

After understanding these three problems, Lin Qian'an knew how to solve this cold winter problem.
