My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 27 Assessment
The next day.

After all, I was too embarrassed to go into the house to sleep last night, so Wei Cheng spent the night in the warehouse. Fortunately, it was relatively cool in summer.

He is now gradually liking the life here. Last night through the gap in the roof, he saw the sky full of stars, how magnificent!
The stars all over the sky can only be seen in the depths of the desert ocean in another world, and now it only needs to go there.

Looking at the bright stars, listening to the sound of cicadas, the aroma of herbs lingering on the tip of the nose, and the evening breeze taking away the remaining summer heat, I fell asleep in a moment.

When I woke up again, I saw the rising sun in front of my eyes, the sound of water being sprinkled and sweeping the floor, and the faint smell of grains. It was Hao Niang and Xiao'e who had steamed the steamed buns in advance.

Outside the house, Cai Yan had a troubled expression on her face. In the past, her husband seldom got up late, maybe something happened to his body again.

When he was hesitating whether to knock on the door and go in to have a look, Wei Cheng opened the door and walked out, facing her face to face.

The two are the people who are most familiar with each other in this world, but due to various reasons, they turned into two 'strangers' by accident.

Not to mention anything else, Wei Cheng still doesn't know Cai Yan's real name until now, because he dare not ask, for fear of revealing that he is not his own secret.

And Cai Yan didn't mention it either, it's taboo for anyone to mention his name.

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly and said, "Morning, madam."

Cai Yan's heart seemed to have been poured with honey, his cheeks were stained red, and he replied, "husband...it's early too."

This is the first time, this is the first time my husband greeted me good morning!

Cai Yan stared blankly at Wei Cheng in front of him, feeling that everything is so novel, this feeling is really wonderful and very happy.

"Sanniang, can we eat?" Wei Cheng walked to the door of the kitchen and asked.

Hao Niang came out with a big pot of steamed buns, and said with a smile, "It's ready to eat, young master, wait a moment, I'll go and serve the noodle soup."

Wei Cheng nodded, "No rush, I'll go wash up first."

Two large water tanks were placed in the southwest corner of the yard, and next to it was a simple washbasin. The copper basin was brought by Wei Shi, the wooden shelf was built with the help of Chengtou, and the towels were brought by Wei Cheng from his own home.

In order not to reveal his identity, Wei Cheng purchased a jar of tooth powder, which he deliberately disguised in a clay pot. He also had two bars of soap, specially selected with the scent of saponin, one for bathing and the other for washing clothes.

The toothbrush used by Wei Cheng is also made of weighed head. Although the toothbrush made of willow wood and wild boar hair is a bit rough, it has a different sense of novelty when compared with the industrial products of later generations.

Wei Cheng put a little tooth powder on his toothbrush, suddenly remembered Cai Yan, turned around and asked, "Did Madam wash?"

Cai Yan nodded. She knew it was inconvenient to live here, so she brought some daily necessities, including tools for brushing teeth and washing face.

However, when Wei Cheng brushed his teeth, white foam came out of his mouth, and there was a faint scent of mint in the air, she walked over curiously, "Didn't your husband brush your teeth with salt?"

Cai Yan brushes her teeth with powdered sea salt, plus a little talcum powder as a cleaning buffer. Talcum powder can effectively avoid brushing and breaking the gums.However, although sea salt is expensive, the effect of brushing teeth is still different from that of tooth powder.

Wei Cheng turned his head and said, "This thing is called tooth powder. I made it from herbs. You can try it. In addition to cleaning your mouth, it can also make your breath fresher."

Said, Wei Cheng breathed a sigh of relief at Cai Yan, their faces were almost pressed together, and there was an inexplicably more ambiguous atmosphere.

Cai Yan instinctively wanted to back away, but a scent of mint flowers and grass came to her face, and she had no time to be shy, so she said in surprise: "It smells so good, is this really the medicinal powder prepared by your husband?"

Wei Cheng himself really knows how to make tooth powder, so he nodded his head and said: "Yes, this tooth powder contains mint, honeysuckle, Tian Qi and other medicinal materials. I got it by accident. I didn't expect it to have the effect of cleaning the mouth. Ha ha."

Cai Yan recalled all the past, when Wei Cheng hid in the study every day to study herbal medicine books, he thought he was trying to save himself, and did not expect to refine such a magical object.

When she came back to her senses, she pursed her lips and asked, "Can my husband teach me?"

Wei Cheng nodded while brushing his teeth, and said vaguely: "Go and get the toothbrush, just put a little on the brush."

Cai Yan ran into the house excitedly, not only took a toothbrush, but also a silk towel.

Wei Cheng was washing her face with soap. Seeing this, she took her toothbrush and dabbed some tooth powder on it.

Seeing that there were many white foams on his face, Cai Yan asked curiously, "This medicinal powder can also cleanse the face?"

Wei Cheng handed her the toothbrush, shook his head, took out a piece of soap from the clay pot beside him, and said, "Use this to wash your face, and the other one is for washing your clothes. You can use it too. Oh, it can not only wash your face, but also wash your clothes." It can be used even in the shower.”

Cai Yan took the soap, sniffed it close to her nose, then looked at Wei Cheng with clear eyes, "Is this medicated soap also made by your husband?"

Wei Cheng wiped off the water droplets on his face with a towel, thought about the reaction process of making soap, and felt that he should be able to do it, so he nodded and said, "That's right, I will make more later, and I will share a point with the people in the village. "

"Hmm, um." Cai Yan greedily inhaled the scent of flowers and herbs from the soap, girls like fragrant things.

"My lord, it's time to eat." Hao Niang's voice came faintly, somewhat resentful, she was already full from dog food.

After having breakfast.

Wei Cheng made an appointment with Hao Dadao yesterday to find new owners for the 23 horses.

He bid farewell to Cai Yan and came to the village alone.

Aning didn't go up for breakfast in the morning. It turned out that he went to pick wild fruits with a few older children. The mountains in this season are full of treasures. As long as you are careful, you can't pick all kinds of wild fruits.

Seeing Wei Cheng coming, Hao Dadao immediately asked Chengtou to gather the men in the village together.

None of the strong laborers in Haojia Village dared to go down the mountain to hunt today, for fear of missing the chance to get a war horse.

Although it is not easy to raise a horse, everyone still wants to have a war horse of his own.

You know, in this era, horses are supposed to be the supercars of later generations. Different horses correspond to different levels of supercars. As for what corresponds to ordinary cars, there are mules and donkeys.

"Son, according to your idea, we dug dozens of holes in advance and set up some traps, but they are not fatal. What's the use of those things?" Chengtou and Hao Zhao walked away in a dirty state. come over.

Wei Cheng waved his hand at them, indicating that they will announce together when they are all here.

Not long after, more and more people came from the village after hearing the news, and even the two daughters Cai Yan and Hao Niang on the hillside came down to watch the fun.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Wei Cheng said to Hao Dadao: "Uncle Dadao, please call out everyone and stand in two rows. I want the fastest runner in one team and the strongest in the other. "

Hao Dadao nodded, thinking about it wrongly, he turned around and asked, "What about the fast and strong man?"

Cai Yan, who was standing in the crowd, covered her mouth and smiled, Wei Cheng looked at her, and she quickly pretended to be nonchalant.

Wei Cheng said angrily: "Uncle Dao, just ask him whether he is fast or strong. He knows how to stand in line. There is no all-rounder in this world. What we want is the elite among the elite, understand?" ?”

Hao Dadao looked confused, and shouted at Chengtou and Hao Zhao who were not far away: "You two, one stands on the east side, the other stands on the west side, and the others, if you think you are strong, stand behind Chengtou, and if you think you are running The ones who are quick stand next to Zhao'er, and the ones who are slippery, move."

Not long after, the only remaining men in the village stood in line.The only thing that gave Wei Cheng a headache was that almost everyone stood behind the head, even Hao Zhao shouted: "Father, I am also strong. I can't run fast at all. I am strong."

As soon as Wei Cheng heard it, he knew that everyone had misunderstood him, and he quickly explained: "The so-called running fast does not mean running fast, but that the speed of chasing the enemy is fast. Why, there are so many men in Haojia Village? Is there not a single warrior who dares to actively pursue the enemy?"

Hearing this, the crowd was in a commotion again, and soon Hao Zhao was full of people standing behind him, including Hao Zhao who also said proudly: "In terms of pursuit ability, I still need someone like me who can run fast. It's too slow, it's useless to use too much strength, I can hit you three with one."

Said that his head was red with anger and his neck was thick, but who told Hao Zhao to tell the truth, if he really had to play tricks, Hao Zhao could play him around.

In the end, it was Hao Dadao who came forward, and based on his understanding of the villagers, he roughly divided them into two teams.

The oldest is in his early thirties, that is, the age of the mute, and the youngest is only twelve, the boy named Hutou.

In fact, it can be seen from the appearance that older people have more strength, and younger people run faster.

However, to Wei Cheng's surprise, the mute was assigned to the fast team.

Hao Dadao explained: "My lord doesn't know, but the mute is the one I mentioned who is strong and runs fast."

Wei Cheng nodded and glanced at the dumb man, feeling that this man was not simple.

"Okay, everyone divide into teams and follow me."

Wei Cheng led the crowd to the venue arranged by Cheng Chengtou and Hao Zhao in advance.

In front of me was a piece of grass with pits and pits. Those pits were not deep, only about [-] to [-] centimeters, and there were no wooden thorns in the pits, but a little yellow mud was poured into them.

Not far from here is a high wall made of wood, about three meters high. If you want to climb it, you can only run up. Behind the wooden wall is a row of staggered horizontal bars.That's right, this is Wei Cheng's assessment content based on the design of the obstacle course in later generations.

Wei Cheng pointed to the checkpoints and said: "This is the assessment site for the speed group. There are 26 of you in total. The top ten fastest runners will get a horse, and the first runner will also have the priority to choose a horse." power."

After he finished speaking, he took off his coat. Hao Niang behind her saw this and was about to go up to help get it, but unexpectedly, Cai Yan who was beside her also moved, so she had to stop in resentment.

Wei Cheng turned around and saw Cai Yan, and handed her the jacket, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was said in silence.

Wei Cheng then rolled up his cuffs, rolled up his trouser legs, and said, "I'll run once, you can see clearly, especially Hao Zhao, you are in charge of supervision, if someone steals and cheats, you will be directly disqualified from the assessment."

Hao Zhao quickly stood up and patted his chest to promise to complete the task.

Wei Cheng didn't pass the level quickly, but would explain it every time he passed the level. For example, the mud pit in the first level had to be perfectly avoided the yellow mud pit hidden in the grass. If he stepped on one, he had to start from the beginning.

After Wei Cheng finished running a lap, everyone roughly understood the rules of the assessment, and nodded their heads to indicate that they could start the assessment.

Hao Zhao volunteered and was the first to run. This kid lived up to everyone's expectations. He only took [-] breaths to finish the run, which was regarded as drawing a reference line.

Seeing that the assessment here is proceeding in an orderly manner, the guys in the strength group are all gearing up.

I thought their assessment was as fancy as that of the speed group, but after hearing the content and rules of the assessment, everyone was stunned.

Holding the rattan rope temporarily woven by the women, Wei Cheng said, "The content of your assessment is very simple, it is horseback tug-of-war."

Horseback tug-of-war, first of all, has no advantage for heavier people. If it is a tug-of-war on the ground, weight is the key to victory, but in a tug-of-war on horseback, the strength of the waist, legs, arms, and sense of balance are crucial.

Why did Wei Cheng choose the horseback tug-of-war project?
Because he wanted to build the first heavy armored cavalry of the Three Kingdoms, the real heavy armor, the kind that was invulnerable.

It's just that he overlooked one point.

Although everyone likes horses very much, no one has ever ridden a horse. He even looked embarrassed when he got on the horse's back. He slipped off inexplicably just as he got on the horse's back, and he couldn't sit still.

This is a bit speechless, just like many scumbags in later generations, when it comes to supercars like Bugatti and McLaren, they can talk from the engine to the exhaust pipe, but if they really need to practice, they can even find the door handle everywhere. less than.

"Uh, this, that, young master, why don't you teach us how to ride a horse first."

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then coughed lightly, good guy, I don't know how either.

Just as he was about to explain something, Cai Yan's voice came from behind, "My husband has been weak since he was a child, and he is always served by a groom in his daily travels. There is a strict order at home that my husband is not allowed to go out on horseback."

Wei Cheng turned to look at her, is there such a thing?However, seeing the woman's confident expression, it is probably true.

Am I weak?

Wei Cheng frowned, secretly clenched his fists, feeling the strength is very surging, even stronger than the bones of his body before crossing, every morning he would look up at the sky, not weak, I am not weak at all.

When everyone heard the words, they all agreed with Cai Yan's statement. No matter who you are, the young master will naturally go out in a carriage.

However, everyone can't ride a horse, what's the matter?
Just as everyone was looking at each other, the people in the speed group over there had already decided the winner.

I saw a man riding a horse quickly towards the open place. The horse ran very fast. There was no saddle on the horse's back, and there were no pedals and ropes. Galloped by horses.

Wei Cheng thought he had misread, wiped his eyes, and someone beside him shouted: "Damn it, he's dumb, how can he ride a horse?"

Not far away, Hao Zhao shouted loudly: "Mute, wait for me, you teach me how to ride a horse first, you teach me."

Everyone in the strength group looked at each other, saying that they quickly grabbed one of the horses and ran towards the mute.

"I, I, I, teach me first, dumb, no, good brother, you teach me first..."
