My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 Ingenuity and Road Signs

Wei Cheng's surprised eyes flashed past, and then he quickly closed the box, as the saying goes that wealth should not be exposed, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

No matter what era the things in the box are placed in, they are priceless treasures.

Wei Cheng did not expect that such a huge amount of wealth could be exchanged for just ten glasses, and this also gave him a reminder.

"I'm Wei Cheng, I'm not short of money!"

His movements were so fast that no one noticed the change in his expression. The steward named Wei Han continued, "Second Master, there is another letter that Third Master asked me to deliver."

Why write to me?
Wei Cheng nodded, and didn't open it on the spot after receiving it, but also stuffed it into his arms.

Wei Han cupped his fists and bowed to leave.

"Okay, big guys, hurry up and move everything up, Uncle Dao, let's go back and continue burning bricks."

Hao Dadao, who was looking at the bags of grain happily, couldn't help sighing after hearing the words: "Young master is a young master, you are still thinking about our house building at this time."

Wei Han, who was about to leave, twitched his eyebrows, and muttered, "Brick burning? Building a house? Is it another trick of the second master?"

After Wei's people left, all the people from Haojia Village appeared on the stage, no matter men, women, old or young, they all contributed their strength.

There was a lot of food delivered this time, except for the empty box that Wei Cheng asked for, the rest were cloth and food.

Most of the cloth is linen, and there are also exquisite brocades, but everyone knows that it is for the prince and wife.They are already very content, linen is enough to wear, brocade is useless, and they are not willing to wear it when they are doing work.

After spending more than an hour, everything was finally transported to the top of the mountain.

The man in charge of shaking the lifting platform has changed seven or eight wheels, and the rope of the lifting platform has become thinner by more than an inch, which shows how heavy the thing is.

Wei Cheng took the first-class people and sent the empty boxes to his warehouse in batches. He said they were empty boxes, but they were actually filled with a lot of things, so when he picked them up, he could hear the sound of something shaking in the boxes.

Wei Cheng remembered what the steward said just now, there were only a few exquisite things in the wooden box, and the rest were in the box.

Wei Cheng's expression moved, and then his breath became short of breath. Could there be more in the box!

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to ask everyone to help move out the empty boxes in the warehouse, and then put these boxes in.

As for those empty boxes, they were piled up in the corner of the yard for the time being. Wei Cheng always felt that the materials of these boxes were extraordinary, so he planned to find a knowledgeable person to ask them later.

"Xiaotou, you and Xiao Zhao have worked hard this time. As a reward, each of you will receive three feet of brocade, a piece of cloth, and a urn of wine. You can go directly to Uncle Da Dao to receive the reward, and just say I said it." Wei Cheng faced Said with a smile.

Cheng, who was instructing everyone to move things, was startled for a while, and then looked overjoyed at Hao Zhao, who also grinned, and both of them clasped their fists at Wei Cheng at the same time, "Thank you for the reward, young master."

The other men who helped carry the boxes were envious, not to mention the three-foot brocade, that piece of cloth, if cut carefully enough, could make four or five sets of clothes.Of course, winter clothes are impossible, and the materials used must be doubled.

After Chengtou took everyone away, Wei Cheng looked at Cai Yan, touched his nose, and said, "May I bother you, madame, to make a pot of tea for me?"

Cai Yan looked at the warehouse with the door open, then at Wei Cheng, and knew that he had some secrets that she didn't want her to see. Although she felt a little disappointed in her heart, she still bowed politely, "Husband I'm busy, I'm going to get the tea set now."

Wei Cheng nodded shyly, watched her walk into the kitchen, turned around and entered the warehouse, and locked the door behind her.

Uh, in fact, there is no lock. Wei Cheng used a box to block the door, which is somewhat of a psychological comfort.

He carefully opened the boxes, one, two, three... The room gradually had a special effect of golden light, as bright as gods and Buddhas descending from the sky, and Wei Cheng's two eyes gradually turned into ""!
Fortunately, he didn't completely indulge in it, after all, he was someone who had seen big wind and big waves.

After sorting out his emotions a bit, he returned to the modern home and found a few hoes, two saws, a box of brand new saw blades, and three axes of different sizes from the storage room on the first floor. Bought for mountaineering, many are brand new.

When Wei Cheng came out with these things in his arms, Cai Yan in the yard showed surprise, hesitant to speak.

However, she didn't say anything. Instead, she ordered some jasmine tea that was brewed in front of her with a smile on her face, and then she picked up a cup and drank it herself. .

Wei Cheng put the things at the gate of the courtyard, and turned around to ask Chengtou to take them away.

He turned back and walked into the yard, sat opposite Cai Yan, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked at Cai Yan opposite.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wei Cheng took another sip of tea, in fact he was not thirsty, he just wanted to send Cai Yan away.

After barely drinking a few more sips, Wei Cheng remembered an ornament in the wooden box and said with a smile, "Madam, wait a moment."

Before Cai Yan could respond, he hurried into the warehouse and took out a golden hairpin from the wooden box. , A brilliant plum blossom bloomed on the top of the branch, with a green leaf dotted under the flower.

The subtlety lies in the fact that the whole body of this plum blossom is handcrafted with gold, the subtleties on the petals are lifelike, even the stamens are embellished with gold threads, as if a living plum blossom was suddenly turned into gold by magic. Same.

And you must know that this is the craftsmanship of craftsmen in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, purely hand-carved gold ornaments, if you can achieve this level of superb skills, I am afraid that those of the future generations will not be able to do it.

And that green leaf is also extraordinary, Wei Cheng doesn't know much about jadeite.But the leaves made of jade can still be seen. The veins of the leaves are inlaid on the jade piece with gold thread, which vividly outlines the direction of the veins on the leaves.

Compared with the pistils of plum blossoms, the veins of this leaf obviously test the ingenuity of a craftsman.

"Madam, try it on." Wei Cheng put the gold hairpin on the table, and looked at Cai Yan with a smile on his face.

Cai Yan was also shocked by the craftsmanship of this golden hairpin, and loved it even more upon closer inspection.However, she clearly showed her love, but she didn't see her reaching out to take it.

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Why, madam doesn't like it?"

Cai Yan pursed her lips, turned her body slightly, and then shook her head very cutely.

Wei Cheng was stunned for three seconds, and then realized, oh, I want you to put it on for you.

Looking at the woman's white jade neck and the slightly messy hair under the bun wrapped around her neck, Wei Cheng couldn't help but make a shameful swallowing movement. Then, resisting the unique fragrance emanating from the woman, he slowly lifted the golden hairpin Insert it into the package.

Cai Yan turned her head, her cheeks were slightly dizzy, she reached out her hand to touch the hairpin on her hair bag, she looked at Wei Cheng knowingly, and asked lightly, "How is it, does it look good?"

Just right oval face, ruddy lips, slightly straight little Qiong nose, a pair of bright and charming phoenix eyes, fair skin faintly revealing a moist luster, you still ask me if I look good?
Wei Cheng coughed lightly in embarrassment, quickly got up and ran out of the yard, saying as he ran, "It looks good, Madam looks good in everything she wears."

Cai Yan looked shy, looked at Wei Cheng's slightly stooped running posture, and looked at his slightly sloppy pace, suddenly remembered something, and was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a crack in the ground and get in.

···
For the next two days, life went on step by step.

In the case of sufficient food, people in the whole village are busy building houses.

Logging for logging, burning bricks for burning bricks.

The first batch of fired bricks must have been a failure. Not only did they not have the hardness that bricks should have, but they were also easy to break.

Wei Cheng and Hao Dadao tried more than a dozen times in a row before finally burning the standard red brick.In fact, it was an unexpected joy. A little boy mixed a little black sand and gravel into the soil, and the fired bricks had the sound of gold and iron clanging when knocked.

After repeated experiments, I realized that it was necessary to add a little sand and gravel rich in iron and other metal elements to the yellow mud. In fact, this kind of sand and gravel can be found everywhere in the mountains.

After confirming the formula of red bricks, the next work went much smoother, but within two days, a small red-pink pyramid was piled up outside the brick kiln.

For the first batch of bricks, Wei Cheng planned to build a large warehouse with a lock behind the hut, which would cost no less than 2 yuan in bricks.But according to the current speed of burning bricks, it is definitely not enough.

Therefore, Wei Cheng immediately decided to build these bricks into a brick kiln. The more brick kilns, the greater the output. Originally, only more than 2000 bricks could be fired a day, but now it has doubled.

And the number of villagers who joined the brick-burning gradually increased. Everyone was waiting to live in a new house built with bricks. Everyone was very motivated to work without Hao Dadao urging them. Everyone looked for work by themselves, and the scene was once in full swing.

During this period, Wei Cheng took Aning into the mountain, mainly because he needed a main medicine for Mr. Fang's prescription, and it was available in the mountain. Wei Cheng had marked it before, so it would be easy to find it again.

The reason why she brought Ah Ning out was because the little girl missed her grandpa, and she finally remembered that she still had a grandpa Zhang. lollipop.

The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and Wei Cheng has to hurry up and prepare the medicine on Saturday.

At this time, one person, one person, and one person had already collected the medicine and were on their way back.

With a lollipop in her mouth and a branch in her hand, Ah Ning hummed the short song Cai Yan taught her while beating the flowers and plants on the road with the branch.

Wei Cheng followed closely behind him, holding a compass in his hand, and determined the direction from time to time. To his surprise, he didn't guide Aning along the way, but the little girl was like a little white horse on the way home. I didn't take a detour at all.

Wei Cheng couldn't help asking: "A'Ning, how do you know the way back?"

Aning held a lollipop in his mouth, and looked back at Wei Cheng, his big eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension: "Brother Wei, doesn't he know the way?"

Wei Cheng thought in his heart that I really don't know each other. This is a primitive mountain forest. If it weren't for the compass, I wouldn't be able to get out at all.

Xiao Aning waved the branch in his hand, pointed to the big tree beside him, and said, "Brother Wei, look, are there two scratches here?"

Wei Cheng probed over, and sure enough, he saw traces of two blades under the tree trunk.

Aning said: "This is left by the mute. The two horizontal lines represent that the big tree is in the northeast of the village, so we just need to go southwest."

Wei Cheng nodded, so that's the case, there are marks on the tree, and the sun determines the east, west, north, south, and the way back can indeed be found.

Uh, no, why is he dumb again? How could he have so much novel knowledge?
Wei Cheng frowned slightly. He always felt that the dumb man was not simple. He not only knew how to ride a horse, but also treated horses. Now that he was so proficient at surviving in the mountains, it was abnormal no matter how he looked.

I wanted to ask Hao Dadao before, but Hao Dadao only said that the mute is a refugee. He settled in the village six years ago and has been bullied all the time. If he didn't know how to catch snakes, he would have starved to death long ago, and other more important information will be lost. .

Wei Teng is not too willing to regard the mute as a bad person. Although he has not been together for a long time, he can feel that the mute is a very simple person. He can play with the children in the village and is very popular with small animals. .

The little macaque raised in the village would not eat the food given by the dumb, no matter how others fed it.

Monkeys, dogs, and cats all move very spiritually, and they always have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. A person who can make a little monkey so close, Wei Cheng never thinks that he will be a bad person.

The two of them just chatted one after another, thinking about going back before lunch.

Although Wei Cheng also brought cooking utensils and food, he is used to eating with Cai Yan. Compared with eating instant noodles outside, he now prefers to drink noodle soup and eat steamed buns with Cai Yan.

In fact, he just didn't want that woman to worry about him, although, even if, the person she worried about didn't seem to be 'himself'.

The place where the herbs were picked this time was not far from the village.

Just as the sun was rising above their heads, the two of them had already seen black smoke billowing from Pingdingshan. If they hadn't known that the villagers were burning bricks, they might have caught fire in the village.

Wei Cheng adjusted the shoulder straps of his backpack and was about to speak when four or five people suddenly blocked their way.

Wei Cheng instinctively grabbed Aning who was walking in front. The opponent was carrying a bow and arrow and a short knife, and it seemed that he was not a good person.

However, to Wei Cheng's surprise, Aning's voice was full of surprise and shouted: "Brother Big Niu!"

know?

Wei Cheng raised his head to look at the strong man in the middle. He was about 175 in height by visual inspection, but he had a round waist and a strong body, which made people feel intimidated. He was holding a spear in his hand, and the spear head was made of some kind of animal bone. of spikes.

Hearing Ah Ning's shout, the stern expression of the strong man instantly melted away, revealing a ferocious smile that wasn't very good-looking.

"Ah Ning, why are you not with Mr. Zhongjing... who is he?" The man was still very vigilant, and kept his eyes on Wei Cheng, as if he was afraid that Wei Cheng would be unfavorable to Aning.
