mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 14
After Zhao Zhongyi's calm attitude reached the freezing point, he made up for everyone.

Liu Guigui suddenly became amused: "Hehe, hehe, hahaha...I actually have a day to kill a son!"

Zhao Zhongyi interjected inappropriately: "Actually, you didn't kill anyone!"

Liu Guigui's laughter stopped abruptly.

Zhao Zhongyi shook his head and smiled wryly.

Zhao Chuanxin has a sense of pleasure in participating in the historical process.Even if this small historical event is not worth mentioning in the face of the general trend of history, it didn't even turn up the water.

He struggled, trembling, and supported his already weak legs.

"Brother, let me interview you."

"What interview?"

"Just to ask you how you feel. Have you ever killed someone before?"

Shaking his head, Zhao Zhongyi flatly denied: "This is the first time."

"Then, why, how can you be so calm?"

Zhao Zhongyi sighed: "Before I came, I asked myself repeatedly, in order to protect my family and not to implicate my friends and brothers, can I kill people? The conclusion is, yes! Then, I have nothing to panic, because what I did was right. Yes. No matter how many people there are, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will never turn back!"

Whoa!

A rush of blood rushed straight to the forehead!
Zhao Chuanxin has always been quite proud of his mentality.Because, with the mentality of saving his ancestors, he has come to today step by step.He's here to help, so he's looking down from the vanguard's vantage point.

But after listening to Zhao Zhongyi's words, he suddenly remembered a sentence in "Mencius": If you shrink from yourself, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!
This Gaozu, who didn't know a lot of characters, probably didn't know this sentence, but his behavior confirmed this sentence.

And how many intellectuals who have studied books all their lives have done so many tricks.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Taught!"

"It's nothing." Zhao Zhongyi really didn't think it was anything special.Protecting the family is what a man should do.However, he looked at the lock that had sucked a lot of blood, and asked, "Brother, do you know any spells?"

Liu Baogui also discovered the strange situation and also looked at Zhao Chuanxin.Before, he was angry that Zhao Chuanxin came here with a carving knife and a rope, but now it seems that he is the most useless one.

Zhao Chuanxin looked mysterious: "It's all said, don't care about these details. You just need to know that we are brothers, and that's fine."

Liu Baogui and Zhao Zhongyi: "..."

There was a long silence.

Liu Guigui said, "What should we do next? Should we report to the authorities?"

Zhao Zhongyi also looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

This kind of brainstorming thing has to be this virtuous brother.

"No!" Zhao Chuanxin vetoed it. "If we report it to the yamen, on the surface, we can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, and maybe we can be commended and rewarded... But those scumbags at the yamen's gate are afraid that they will sell us out to avoid trouble."

Liu Guigui grabbed his freshly shaved forehead: "Then what's the matter?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the corpses all over the place, squinted his eyes and said, "Let's go to death!"

……

The next day, the villagers in Lugangling Village got up early to cook.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

Today's weather is fine, sunny, cloudless.

Ordinary people live their lives and can't rest for a moment.

No, Gao Laolan was carrying a shoulder pole with soil baskets hanging on both sides, and he came out early in the morning after dinner to hunt pigweed.

But he saw that Zhao Zhongyi, Liu Guigui, and the young man who had just moved to the village came back from the mountain together in a bullock cart.

"Loyalty, what are you and Bao Bao doing driving the ox cart so early?"

The three of them looked exhausted.

Zhao Zhongyi smiled and said: "Nothing, my brother is renovating the house, thinking about pulling some wood for him, but he forgot to take the saw."

When Gao Laolan passed by the ox cart, he didn't know what was going on, but he vaguely saw blood stains on the cart.

Hey, people are old and their eyes are useless.

……

The three of Zhao Chuanxin ate something casually to deal with it.

Then, in the house, looking at the Mosin Nagant rifles on the ground, these foreign guns have worn out a lot and are not new.But it still works.

None of the three touched a gun.

Zhao Chuanxin has never eaten pork but has seen pigs running. He groped, loaded a bullet, and then pulled the bolt, and the gun was loaded!
"Brother is indeed a genius. He knows how to use a gun without touching it before!" Zhao Zhongyi marveled.

"Don't praise me, I will be proud."

The two were speechless.

This kid is good at everything, he is righteous, generous, and knows a lot.It's just outspoken, a topic stopper!
Zhao Chuanxin tried to eject the bullet again.

In addition to the old foreign guns and brand new bullets, there were two boxes of foreign cigarettes and about thirty silver dollars on the ground.

Liu Baogui asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "The gun and the bullets are hidden at my brother's house. I want the cigarettes. We share the silver dollars, one for each. Don't spend money indiscriminately to avoid being watched. As for me, I spend money lavishly and carelessly. , no one will doubt me. When there is a chance, the three of us will go into the mountains to practice with foreign guns. This thing is much more powerful than knives, guns and sticks. From a distance of [-] meters, one shot can knock down people. With guns, Even if a gangster comes to seek revenge, we will have the power to fight."

After the discussion, the three separated.

The other two tossed and tossed all night, so tired that they fell asleep.

Zhao Chuanxin was very sleepy, but couldn't fall asleep, but went back to his broken house.

A group of children had breakfast and arrived early to wait here.

Good guy, he doesn't even need a watchdog anymore, these snot-nosed babies are just guarding the house for him, and I guarantee that nothing will be lost.

Anyway, I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't in the mood to flip through the diary.

He simply sat down and said to a group of children: "There are not so many candy balls for you today. But today, Uncle will make you some toys to play with."

As he said that, he took out the carving knife, found a piece of wood, brushed it, and, like a magic trick, carved out a black-covered boat at the fastest speed.

He held up the boat: "Look at this wooden boat, it should be able to be put into the water. Does anyone want it?"

A group of snot-nosed kids just sniffed their noses, each dumbfounded.

The carpenter Li in the village is too old to do carpentry.Where have they seen this?
The sawdust was flying, and a boat was carved out in a moment. This craftsmanship is amazing!

Let alone them, Zhao Chuanxin didn't believe it before.

But who let him have an elf carving knife!
"I want."

"I want a boat too!"

Defu shouted: "I don't want a wooden boat, I want a wooden sword, I want to be a general, go into battle and kill the enemy!"

"I want to kill the enemy too, and not a single Rakshasa ghost will be left behind!"

The people in the current black land hate Maozi even more than they did when they were young.

Zhao Chuanxin maintained order and shouted: "I will carve three things for you today, a wooden figure, a wooden sword, and a wooden boat. Tell me one by one what you want. After finishing today's work, Check out next to you."

It was noisy and noisy, and it took a long time to disperse.

Today's life is simple.

Everyone leveled a piece of land and sprinkled the sifted fine sand.

Then there is the reconciled yellow mud, put the reconciled yellow mud into the mold, pour it on the flat ground covered with fine sand and let it dry in the sun.

"Wow, look, there's a deer on it."

"Uncle, when the yellow mud bricks are finished drying, can you give me one?"

"I want a piece too."

Good guy, I have just started drying bricks, and I have ordered more than 20 pieces.

"Okay, okay, one brick per person!" Zhao Chuanxin couldn't laugh or cry.

If I had known earlier, it would have been a waste of time.

As a child, the work is messy, and the mold is knocked over at every turn, and a brick is useless.

However, if you do it, you will become proficient.

Many adults think that children are clumsy and do not let them do it, and that children lack hands-on ability, which is not a good thing for future development.

One aspect of Zhao Chuanxin's laziness is that he likes to do challenging work and dislikes repetitive mechanical labor.In addition, he also likes to be lively. It's so interesting for a group of children to bluff.

When it comes to education, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the sand sculpture dog turning around under his feet.

He is actually a person who is good at thinking. The theoretical knowledge in his head is much more than the work he knows.For a long time, he lamented that life is too short, and he wanted to try too many things, but life and energy did not allow it.

People have a wide range of horizontal knowledge, which is the so-called "broad but not refined", which is actually not a bad thing.There is a word in foreign countries called mental model.The so-called thinking model, to put it bluntly, is to have enough understanding of the world and various fields, so as to build a thinking model.In this way, when looking at things, you will not easily follow the crowd, and you can think from multiple angles.

In the past, there was a very imprecise statement from a scientific point of view, saying that the human brain is less than 8%, or 10%, and that Einstein has developed 20%.

This is actually nonsense, and there is no conclusive evidence at all.

Humans and animals don't have so much energy to support the burdensome "brain domain", and they just consume it if they don't do any work every day.

People are better off, animals can't wait to use everything they can, why do they grow a part of their brains that they don't need?
In fact, every part of the brain is useful and can be used.

However, it is true that some people can be extraordinarily smart.Some are born, some are nurtured.For example, both parents in the family are high-level intellectuals, and there is a high probability that the child will be smart, not only from genetics, but also because of the continuous development of the day after tomorrow.

Looking at the cooked rice on the ground, Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself, since the precious fungal technology has been eaten by this product, then don't waste it and play with fresh ones!
