Chapter 102 The Secret Diaowofeng, the Secret Group of Women

"Sir, don't make things difficult for us. We are all unclean bodies. We have no face to continue living in this world. Please give us a knife and let us go quietly! I just hope that after I die, I can give us a layer of thin soil." An older woman who claims to be Zhou seemed to see Xu Xingxia's hesitation and said resolutely.

"No." Xu Xingxia shook her head without thinking. If he had grown up in this society since childhood, perhaps he would have assumed that these women would seek suspicion and end their defiled life. However, he is a time traveler and he cannot watch them die in vain. This is the most basic respect for life. They are innocent and have no faults and should not disappear in this world just like this.

"Let's do this, you can settle down in Diaowo Peak for the time being, and don't contact people from the outside. No one outside knows that you are here, so naturally no one will discriminate against you. When I settle down, I will send someone to inform you. I think you can support yourself through your own hands." Xu Xingxia thought for a while and said cautiously.

He did not 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 some ways, the Ming Dynasty was a perverted dynasty, and its imprisonment on human nature was more powerful than in previous dynasties. However, in some ways, it was also lewd, such as the obsession with breaking sleeves. He was debauchery, but he also asked others to be pure and sanctified. This was the high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty.

The middle-aged woman Zhou can feel Xu Xingxia's sincerity. To be honest, no one would be willing to die for nothing. If there is no secular discriminatory vision from others, which woman would end her life because of innocence? Even if they do not cherish their lives, they will not want their children or relatives to suffer.

But how long can they hide in Diaowo Peak? After all, this place is not a paradise, it is just a horse thief's nest. One day they will meet outsiders. At that time, the pressure from the world can easily crush them. What's more, if you continue to stay in the horse thief's nest, you will feel that 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. I found a lot of this ore around Diaowo Peak. However, I don't have a special staff to mine it. So, I want to ask you to help me collect this ore."

Zhou took the flint and looked carefully. This flint is indeed produced around Diaowo Peak, so it is not too difficult to mine it. Although they are all women, it will not be very difficult to collect this ore. There are more than 20 women who were captured from Diaowo Peak. Everyone worked hard together to mine hundreds of kilograms of flint every day. Of course, it would be even better if they could provide appropriate tools.

In fact, Xu Xingxia didn't expect them to do many things. He just subconsciously felt that if they had something to do and had spiritual sustenance, perhaps their thoughts would be a little weaker, and perhaps fewer people would be determined to commit suicide. Of course, if someone still wanted to commit suicide, he had no choice. All he could do was this.

As for the future, Xu Xingxia hasn't thought about it yet. In fact, there is no need to think too much. Maybe there will be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, or maybe there will be another village in the dark. In short, there is no way for everyone. The key is that the women in front of me must have the courage to live. No matter how difficult it is, they must live. The same is true for the military households in Weizhen Fort. The key is that they must show their destiny and cannot passively wait for others to arrange their destiny.

Suddenly, a thought flashed 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 the idea. In an instant, his eyes became eager to try, as if he had thought of some exciting things. He pondered for a moment and asked slowly, "By the way, does anyone know how to fire porcelain or something?"

The middle-aged woman said a little strangely: "Firing porcelain? Maybe Huang knows it."

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

This woman named Huang was robbed from Leifu Castle near Ningxia City. Leifu Castle has many porcelain kilns and produces various porcelains. However, the porcelain in Ningxia Town is not well-known in the country and cannot be sold at any price in the market. It is basically self-sufficient and better than nothing. At that time, the porcelain distributed across the country was mainly produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, and some were produced in Foshan, Lingnan.

"I wonder what porcelain is going to fire by sir?" Huang asked nervously.

"It's not ordinary porcelain... However, the firing process is exactly the same as ordinary porcelain. You can plan first to see if you can find a place around Diaowou Peak and dig a porcelain kiln. It doesn't need to be big, and it's enough to be able to fire 500 pieces of porcelain at the same time." Xu Xingxia explained slowly.

Since some confidential issues were involved, Xu Xingxia's explanation was somewhat empty, which made Huang feel a little confused. However, since Xu Xingxia said so, she was so careful. She really knew a lot about firing porcelain. Her husband was originally a craftsman for firing porcelain. She was influenced by her and even personally operated it. She was not unfamiliar with the general process of firing porcelain. After asking a few key points, Huang stopped talking. It was enough to have these key points.

In fact, Xu Xingxia himself had a temporary idea. He suddenly discovered that the terrain of Diaowo Peak, as well as the surrounding ore, forests, and roads are very suitable for secret production. He was sure that there would definitely not be many people who knew Diaowo Peak. It just so happened that there was a group of people who were temporarily shameful here. If they didn't use it, it would be a pity. Saving their lives and helping them do things was a win-win result!

"Liu Heng." Xu Xingxia shouted.

"Come!" Liu Heng hurriedly ran over.

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

Liu Heng replied cautiously: "There are not many other materials, but there are a lot of food. Preliminary statistics show that there should be about fifty stones."

Xu Xingxia nodded, fifty stones of grain, that is about 10,000 kilograms. There are only more than 20 women who stayed at Diaowo Peak. According to the calculation of each person consuming one and a half kilograms of grain per day, they can also eat for more than 200 days. He thought for a while and said, "Go and tell Zhang Quanfu that everything except the money will be left."

Liu Heng agreed to go.

This time, the bandits who raided Diaowo Peak, found about 3,000 taels of silver, hundreds of stagnant copper coins, and some robbed treasures and jewelry. It is probably all the assets of the entire Diaowo Peak. Obviously, the horse thieves in Diaowo Peak are not very rich, with only a few thousand taels of silver. Of course, for the current White Army, more than 3,000 taels of silver can do a lot of things.

The silver was left to Zhou, Huang and others, and it was useless, so Xu Xingxia took it all away. He and Zhou, Huang and others agreed that after they returned, he would arrange for someone to send necessary ore mining, tools to dig porcelain kilns, and at the same time take away the flint they collected. Every once in a while, he would send people to Diaowefeng to bring food, clothing, and necessary daily necessities.

If there are any special requests, he will send someone to the mountain to explain in detail to them. If there are no special circumstances, they do not need to contact the outside world. In other words, for a considerable period of time, the outside world will not know their existence. As for what will happen in the future, we will talk about it later. Perhaps there may be any turning point.

Thank you for Xu Xingxia's arrangements, Zhou, Huang and others. If they are under pressure from the outside world, they are indeed unsightly to continue living in this world. However, if they do not need to contact the outside world, that is another matter. Perhaps it can be said that for people from the outside world, they are actually dead. Only in the closed world, Diaowo Peak, can they continue to survive.

After discussing with Zhou, Huang and others, Xu Xingxia came to the bandit hall at Diaowo Peak. These bandits built a hall with wood, as if they were set up according to the conference hall in Shuiboliang Mountain, which was very simple. There was nothing decent in the hall. To be honest, the bandits at Diaowo Peak were indeed not doing well.

The reason is that Diaowo Peak is too remote and there is no oil or water around it. From a military perspective, Diaowo Peak is indeed not suitable as a base. However, if the purpose is slightly changed and it becomes a secret production base, it would be very suitable. Xu Xingxia believes that even the Tartars would definitely not know the existence of Diaowo Peak.

"Sir, how do you deal with these horse thieves?" Zhang Quanfu came over to ask for instructions.

"All of them were killed." Xu Xingxia said expressionlessly.

"I understand." Zhang Quanfu agreed to go.
