Chapter 280

When Ding Yi heard Li Meier's words, his expression changed, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I really have one thing, I want to ask my wife and grandma..."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Meier asked curiously seeing his slightly red face.

Ding Yi hesitated for a while before he stammered: "It's... that... I... Chuaner..."

Li Meier listened for a long time before she finally understood, she couldn't help but laughed "puchi" and said, "Brother Dingyi likes sister Chuaner, does she know?"

"Should... know..." Ding Yi's face instantly turned red to the base of his neck, such a burly man was a little at a loss.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll help you tell grandma about this. Miss Chuan'er is not too young anymore, and she's at the age to get married." Li Meier patted Ding Yi again, and said this The son took it to himself.

Ding Yi nodded ecstatically, and immediately said many good things to Li Meier.

The two were talking, when Jiang Shanqing finally came back outside.When Li Meier saw him, she immediately ran over and asked, "What do the people in the government say? Have all the Japanese pirates been wiped out?"

"Let's go in and talk about it." Jiang Shanqing said simply, then pulled Li Meier into the room, and then told Ding Yi that the door should be closed for two days and no visitors would be received.

Ding Yi replied with a serious expression.

Jiang Shanqing dragged Li Meier to the front hall, and Li Meier couldn't wait to ask: "Didn't Ding Yi say that the Japanese pirates have almost wiped out the land? Why are you still so nervous?"

"The Japanese pirates are almost wiped out, but the leader of the Japanese pirates has not been caught yet. I heard that he has a 'bursting gun' in his hand." Jiang Shanqing said with a serious expression.

"A musket? What's that?" Li Mei'er didn't understand these things and asked very puzzled.

"It's a weapon that can kill the enemy at a distance of two hundred steps. If the marksmanship is good, it can be killed with one blow." Jiang Shanqing explained to Li Meier.

Li Meier gasped when she heard the words, "There's this kind of thing, it's too powerful." Li Meier knew that the range of a bow and arrow is usually a hundred paces, but that musket is more than twice as long as a bow and arrow. This kind of lethal weapon , is indeed scary.

"It's not a big deal. I also know that there is a firearm that can kill people thousands of meters away. That's really powerful." Jiang Shanqing was talking about modern sniper rifles, which are the real ghosts on the battlefield.

"If you really have such a weapon, then you can kill whoever you want, and the old emperor in the palace is not safe." Li Meier gasped again, and said tut-tsk.

"That kind of thing, you can't make it here. It's beyond my expectation that you can make a musket. I always thought that your place was still in the age of cold weapons." Jiang Shanqing smiled self-deprecatingly, he still thought of the ancients. It's too simple.

"Anyway, I don't understand this. You said that the leader of the Japanese pirates has a musket in his hand, so the officers and soldiers can't catch him?" Li Meier asked a question that she was more concerned about. There is such a person who has been hiding in their town. Come on, that's so frightening.

"That's not good. After all, he is only one person, and the musket can only fire one bullet at a time, and it takes a lot of time to reload after firing. During these times, as long as the officers and soldiers are not afraid of death and rush up, they can kill him." Grab it." Jiang Shanqing analyzed.

"But are the officers and soldiers not afraid of death?" Li Meier asked the most critical question. They are a small place. Even the officers and soldiers of the state capital usually only catch bandits on weekdays. Few people are injured, let alone She lost her life, and she was sure that like herself, they had never seen such a musket. Now, if they want to risk their lives to catch the pirate leader, I am afraid that few people are willing to do so.

"That's the problem." Jiang Shanqing also said helplessly, "The officers and soldiers are now passive and sabotage, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to find the leader of the Japanese pirates. They are afraid that he will jump over the wall in a hurry. After all, he has such a lethal weapon in his hand, but this is suffering for us civilians. People, it's unlucky to hit the muzzle at some point, so I asked Ding Yi to close the door for two days, we don't go out, and no one else comes in, so it should be fine."

Li Meier nodded, sighed and said, "I hope that the leader of the Japanese pirates can be caught earlier, so that our town can restore peace." Li Meier was still a little puzzled, could it be because she was reborn and changed some things, It made all subsequent things different. He had never encountered these things in his previous life, and the older he got, the harder it was.

Li Meier shook her head, stopped thinking about those messy things, turned to look at Jiang Shanqing and asked with concern: "Have you had breakfast? There is hot porridge on the stove, let's have some together."

Jiang Shanqing went out for a run, and was really hungry, so he ate some porridge and rice with Li Meier first.

After eating and drinking, Li Meier asked him to go back to his room to rest for a while, he didn't sleep for a few hours last night, and went out again early in the morning, and the circles under his eyes are still dark.

Jiang Shanqing went back to the room to rest, and Li Meier went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Sister-in-law Qiu hadn't come back yet, and she was the only one at home who was relatively free, so the task of cooking naturally fell on her.Fortunately, Mrs. Lin went out to buy a lot of pork and mutton yesterday, and she also grew vegetables in her own land. Even if she didn't go out to buy these few days, she still had enough to eat.

Li Meier thought that everyone didn't eat well last night and this morning, so she cooked two very honest meat dishes, braised pork and braised mutton, plus a few stir-fried vegetarian dishes and cold salad dishes. The soup is still boiled chicken soup. There is a whole big pot, and you can keep it if you can't finish it.

After Li Mei'er got ready for lunch, Mrs. Li also woke up. Although she had slept the whole morning, she still looked tired. After all, she was old, no more than those young people, and it didn't matter if she didn't sleep all night.

"I can smell the smell of meat from a distance, girl, this is not prepared, it is pork and mutton." Mrs. Li looked at the two pots of meat dishes on the table, dissatisfied.

"Grandmother, we were frightened all night last night, so we naturally want to eat a good meal. Unfortunately, there is no beef at home, otherwise I would have to stew another pot of beef." Li Meier put a piece of fat and thin camera braised in soy sauce in Mrs. Li's bowl Meat, said with a smile.

"Prodigal girl, you still eat beef. Do you know how expensive beef is now? If you are the head of the family, you will be ruined in a few days." Mrs. Li looked at the meat in front of her, still in pain. , The amount of meat for three days, let the dead girl stew it all in one meal, I really feel sorry for her old man.
