"My lord, don't be embarrassed, we are all unclean, shameless and continue to live in this world, please give us a knife, let us go on the road quietly! I only hope that when I die, my lord will give us a thin layer of soil. A slightly older woman who called herself Zhou seemed to see Xu Xingxia's hesitation, so she said resolutely.

"Nope." Xu Xingxia shook his head without thinking. If he had grown up in this society, perhaps he would have tacitly acquiesced in the short-sightedness of these women and ended their defiled lives. However, he is a time-traveler, and he can't watch them die in vain. This is the most basic respect for life. They are innocent, they are not at fault, and they should not just disappear into this world.

"In this way, you can settle down in Diaowo Peak for the time being, and don't come into contact with people from the outside world. No one out there knows you're here, so naturally no one discriminates against you. I'll send someone to inform you when I'm settled. I think you can feed yourself with your own hands. Xu Xingxia thought about it and said cautiously.

He didn't want these defiled women to die in vain, but he also knew that if he saved them in a high-profile manner, it would also attract a lot of unnecessary criticism. In a way, the Ming Dynasty is a perverted dynasty, and the imprisonment of people's surnames is more powerful than that of previous dynasties. However, in some aspects, it is messy, such as the habit of broken sleeves. is shameless in his own money, but he asks others to be ice and jade, this is a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou, a middle-aged woman, could feel Xu Xingxia's sincerity. Frankly, no one wants to die for nothing. If there is no worldly discrimination from others, what woman would end her life because of the question of innocence? Even if they don't cherish their lives, they don't want their children or relatives to suffer.

However, how long can they hide in Diaowo Peak? It's not a paradise after all, it's just a den of horse thieves. One day, they are going to meet outsiders. At that time, the pressure from the world can easily crush them. What's more, continuing to stay in the den of horse thieves already feels like life is worse than death.

"I need this ore." Xu Xingxia took out a piece of flint from his arms and handed it to Zhou's hand, "I need a lot of this ore." Around the Eagle Nest Peak, I found a lot of this ore. However, I don't have a dedicated person to mine it. So, I'd like to ask you guys to help me collect this ore. ”

Zhou took the flint over and examined it carefully. This kind of flint is indeed produced around the Eagle Nest Peak, and it is not too difficult to mine. Even though they were all women, it would not be very difficult to collect this ore. There are more than 20 women who were captured and came to Diaowo Peak, and everyone works together to mine hundreds of catties of flint every day, and there should be no problem. Of course, it would be better if the proper tools could be provided.

In fact, Xu Xingxia didn't expect them to be able to do many things, he just subconsciously felt that if they had something to do and spiritual sustenance, maybe their short-sighted thoughts would be a little weaker, and maybe there would be fewer people who were determined to commit suicide. Of course, if someone still wants to commit suicide, he can't do anything about it. That's all he can do.

As for the future, Xu Xingxia hasn't thought about it yet. Actually, you don't need to think about it. Maybe there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, or maybe the willows and flowers will be bright and another village. In short, there is no endless road. The key is that these women in front of them must have the courage to live. No matter how hard it is, stay alive. The same is true for the military households in Weizhenbao, the key is to show their own desperate strength, and not passively wait for others to arrange their own fate.

Suddenly, a flash of thought passed through Xu Xingxia's mind. The appearance of this thought was very abrupt and disappeared very quickly. However, Xu Xingxia's reaction was also very fast, and he firmly captured this idea. In an instant, his eyes became eager to try, as if he had thought of something exciting. He pondered for a moment and asked slowly, "By the way, do any of you know how to fire porcelain or something?" ”

The middle-aged woman said a little strangely: "Fired porcelain? Maybe Huang understands. ”

After that, he sent someone to call the woman named Huang. Ningxia Town is the world of military households, and the women looted by the horse thieves are, of course, all from military households. Due to their status, women from poor military families are basically used as men, and some women know quite a lot of skills. It can be said that they are not much inferior to men in any other way except on the battlefield.

This woman, Huang Shi, was looted from Fort Leifu, near the city of Ningxia. Fort Reifou has a large number of kilns that produce all kinds of porcelain. However, the porcelain of Ningxia Town is not well-known in the country, and it has not been able to sell for much in the market, which is basically self-sufficient, and it is better than nothing. At that time, the porcelain distributed throughout the country was mainly produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, and some were produced in Foshan, Lingnan.

"I don't know what kind of porcelain you want to fire?" Huang asked a little nervously.

"It's not just porcelain...... However, the firing process is exactly the same as that of ordinary porcelain. You plan first, see if you can find a place around the carving nest peak, dig a porcelain kiln out. It doesn't need to be very large, it is enough to be able to fire five hundred pieces of porcelain at the same time. Xu Xingxia explained slowly.

Because it involved some confidential issues, Xu Xingxia's explanation was somewhat vague, which made Huang sound a little confused. However, since Xu Xingxia said so, she also paid attention to it. She does know a lot about firing porcelain, her husband was originally a craftsman who fired porcelain, she was familiar with it, and even made it herself, and she was no stranger to the process of firing porcelain in general. After asking a few points clearly, Huang stopped talking. With these few points, it is enough.

In fact, Xu Xingxia himself was also improvised. He suddenly discovered that the topography of Diaowo Peak, as well as the surrounding ores, mountains and forests, and roads, were all very suitable for secret production. He was sure that there would definitely not be many people who knew about Diaowo Peak. It just so happens that there is another group of people who have not seen the light for the time being, and it would be a pity if they were not used. Saving their lives by themselves, and helping them to do things for themselves, it was a win-win result!

"Liu Heng." Xu Xingxia opened his mouth and shouted.

"Here!" Liu Heng hurriedly ran over.

Xu Xingxia said: "How many materials are there in Diaowo Peak? ”

Liu Heng replied cautiously: "There are not many other materials, but there is a lot of grain, and according to preliminary statistics, there should be about fifty stones." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, fifty stones of grain, that is almost ten thousand catties. There are only more than 20 women left behind in Diaowo Peak, and according to the calculation of one and a half catties of grain consumed per person per day, it can also take more than 200 days to eat. He thought for a while and said, "You go and tell Zhang Quanfu that except for the silver, everything else is left." ”

Liu Heng agreed.

The bandits who raided Diaowo Peak this time, the white-clothed army found a total of about 3,000 taels of silver, as well as hundreds of copper coins, and some looted treasures and jewelry. It is estimated that it is all the belongings of the horse thieves in the entire Eagle Nest Peak. Obviously, the horse thief in Diaowo Peak is not very rich, and he only has a few thousand taels of silver. Of course, for the current white-clothed army, more than three thousand taels of silver can do a lot of things.

The silver was left for the Zhou family, the Huang family and others, and it was of no use, so Xu Xingxia took it all away. He agreed with Zhou, Huang and others that after he returned, he would arrange for another person to send the necessary tools for mining ore and porcelain kilns to Diaowofeng, and at the same time take away the flint they had collected. Every once in a while, he would also send someone to bring food, clothing, and necessary common use to Diaowofeng.

If there were any special requests, he would also send someone into the mountains to explain them in detail. They do not need to have contact with the outside world unless there are special circumstances. In other words, for a long time, the outside world will not know about their existence. As for what will happen in the future, we will talk about it later. Maybe there will be a turnaround.

For Xu Xingxia's arrangement, Zhou, Huang and others are grateful. If they are under pressure from the outside world, they will indeed have no shame to continue to live in this world. But if they don't need to be exposed to the outside world, that's a different story. It may be said that to outsiders, they are actually dead. Only in the closed world of Diaowo Peak can they continue to survive.

After discussing with the Zhou family, the Huang family and others, Xu Xingxia came to the thief hall of Diaowo Peak. These bandits built a hall out of wood, as if it was set up according to the council hall in Shuibo Liangshan, which was very simple. Inside the hall, there is nothing decent. Frankly speaking, the thieves of Diaowo Peak are indeed not very good.

The reason is that Diaowo Peak is too remote, and there is no oil and water around. From a military point of view, Diaowo Peak is indeed not suitable as a base area. However, it would be a good idea to change the use a little and turn it into a secret production base. Xu Xingxia believes that even the Tartars must not know the existence of Diaowofeng.

"My lord, what should we do with these horse thieves?" Zhang Quanfu came back to ask for instructions.

"Kill them all." Xu Xingxia said expressionlessly.

"Understood." Zhang Quanfu agreed.

Soon, the five horse thieves who were captured alive were all put on display. Their heads were hung on stakes outside the door of the council chamber. The kidnapped soldiers, and the ruined women, hated the horse thieves, and dismembered the bodies of the horse thieves. The pieces of the corpse were thrown to the bottom of the cliff. The bodies of the other horse thieves were all thrown to the bottom of the cliff.
