mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 193 Stealing my boat will affect my height

Li Ziyu came to Mi Dun's study and saw that his expression was not very good.

"Sir, are you feeling unwell?"

Shaking his head, Mi Dun categorically denied: "I'm fine. Li, how is the matter going?"

"Well...it's going pretty well so far."

It is blank again.

Mi Dun immediately thought up: "Huh? Is there any uncertain factor in the future? The foundation of Hong Kong Island is weak, and wealth cannot be limited to big cigarettes, gambling halls and stables. Finally, I built Robinson Road to the New Territories. The economy in the New Territories is picking up. We can’t let some outlaws sabotage the plan, absolutely not during my tenure.”

Robinson Road at this time is Nathan Road in later generations, and Nathan Road was also named in memory of Nathan Road.

Originally, Hong Kong Island used the New Territories as Hong Kong's agricultural supply base, while Kowloon was just a piece of bad land, a muddy backwater area.

Mi Tun believed that the industrial development of the New Territories was related to the future of Hong Kong.

He said that the original economic structure of Hong Kong Island was not long-term, and it was necessary to vigorously develop industry and commerce.The New Territories, with its vast land and small population, is the most suitable area for industrial development.

He made the right move. Many years later, many factories were located in the New Territories, and many satellite cities of Hong Kong Island were born in the New Territories.

Transportation and the development of industry and commerce in the New Territories are the greatest contributions Mi Tun has made to Hong Kong Island.

And Li Ziyu likes this kind of step-by-step dialogue.

Sure enough, it was much more comfortable to talk to a normal person like Mi Dun.

Because he can bring the rhythm.

"Sir, you are right. Today, some churches on Hong Kong Island have initially reached a consensus, and the chaotic situation is coming to an end."

Nodding his head, Mi Dun frowned again: "But I listen to you, there are still hidden dangers in the future?"

Li Ziyu showed a wry smile: "It can't be said to be a hidden danger, there is such a thing..."

He picks and chooses, discusses how the meeting will be conducted, how the rabble in multiple halls yells, and then shows that a person suddenly appeared, ended the farce, and deterred everyone with effective and strong means, leading to the result of the alliance. , Explain these things to Mi Dun one by one.

Then Mi Dun became curious: "This person is quite capable, who is he?"

Li Ziyu showed embarrassment: "It's Zhao Chuanxin!"

Mi Dun was dumbfounded: "What did you say?"

He was really taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin stepped in to make trouble.

Li Ziyu showed a helpless expression: "I can't help it, at that time he wanted to torture the people who were present, and wanted to find out who leaked his news.

On behalf of the police station, I was afraid that he would kill innocent people indiscriminately. In desperation, I stood up and admitted that I had detected his whereabouts.

He wants to seek revenge on you!
Sir, I think, he has the ability to..."

The words behind speak for themselves.

Zhao Chuanxin has the ability to kill Mi Dun.

But Li Ziyu never mentioned that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to make trouble for him.

This sense of oppression should be left to Mi Dun to bear alone.

Mi Dun turned pale with shock.

Sure enough, it still caught fire?

He suddenly got up and paced back and forth.

A group of panicked.

At this time, Li Ziyu cleared his throat: "At that time, I was very scared. So, I decided on my own, and in order to appease him first, I promised him one thing."

As soon as he heard that there was a turn for the better, Mi Dun stopped: "What's the matter?"

"Lugang Town wants to develop industries on Hong Kong Island. I said that I can discuss it with you and make it convenient. Everyone's misunderstandings will be resolved, and harmony will make money. In the future, there will be no shouting and killing."

But Mi Dun's first reaction was: "What? Doesn't this make me bow down to him? He's just a criminal, why should he negotiate terms with me?"

"Sir, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

He wants to make money, and we are also developing the New Territories.

He wants to build power plants and do shipping, so let him do it.

The most important thing is that he has now integrated the various halls on Hong Kong Island.

Now that we have helped him, he will also help us manage the law and order of Hong Kong Island!
A man with a quick mind, a tough hand, and money.

If he is allowed to assist in law and order, the law and order environment on Hong Kong Island will improve a lot. "

These can be regarded as Midun's political achievements.

In this way, the resentment on Mi Dun's face gradually faded.

He was a politician first and a rude and arrogant Jewish middle-aged second.

"Then does he agree?"

Li Ziyu finally showed a smile, the most difficult part has been saved by him, the original [-]% certainty has really become [-]% at this time.

He said: "Originally he disagreed, and he wanted revenge wholeheartedly."

Seeing that Mi Dun's face was not very good-looking, he said again: "But I analyzed the situation for him, and finally he agreed."

He understands Midun.

If he told Mi Dun that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to take this line in a hurry to curry favor, Mi Dun would probably dismiss it.

But Li Ziyu also understood Zhao Chuanxin.

If Mi Dun and Zhao Chuanxin meet, Mi Dun shows a rebellious look and speaks rudely, maybe Zhao Chuanxin will take a gun on the spot and shoot Mi Dun suddenly.

Although you are arrogant and rude, look around, who is not audacious?
I'm having such a hard time!

……

Zhao Chuanxin gave the audience a little time to buffer their thoughts.

He had nowhere to go, so he jumped into the sea and swam out for a few miles. Then he removed the blue ghost armor and took a good bath in the sea.

The sea water in this season is a little cold, but it is still within the range that Zhao Chuanxin can bear.

Bathing in seawater is actually not very reliable, and there will be some salt on the body after washing.

But Zhao Chuanxin didn't wash it for several days, so he didn't care so much.

After taking a bath, he put on the blue ghost armor and got into the sea.

The Azure Phantom Armor can't let him stay under the sea all the time, he needs to go to the sea surface to take a breath from time to time.

After all, the internal storage space is limited.

Zhao Chuanxin has always had an inexplicable fear of the deep water area.

This is true for fresh water, but especially for sea water.

Today he wants to come to an extreme challenge.

The sea is dark and indeed scary.

From time to time, there are sea fish jumping out of the side suddenly, which can make Zhao Chuanxin's heart beat faster.

He tried not to look at the physical creatures, and only observed the surrounding environment from the creature distribution map displayed by Xingyue on the blue ghost armor.

In fact, it is not very deep here, at most tens of meters.

Human beings can dive more than 100 meters with bare hands, and more than 300 meters with equipment.

Zhao Chuanxin has never tried the limit of the Azure Phantom Armor.

But I think it will not be lower than 300 meters.

He went to the bottom of the sea and saw octopus wandering for food.

Taking out the bottle, he swam towards an octopus with lightning speed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the octopus ejected a strong water flow from its body tube and swam in the opposite direction suddenly.

The driving principle of the Azure Phantom has many similarities with that of octopus and squid.

But the continuous power of the Azure Specter is better than that of the Octopus.

It is fast, and Zhao Chuanxin is even faster.

He didn't look at the octopus entity, but only looked at the distribution of the Xingyue creature map, and suddenly intercepted it with an offline crossbow.

The octopus didn't expect it to react so quickly, and it was caught.

After catching it, he stuffed it directly into the bottle and blocked the bottle stopper.

Grabbing some in the same way, he floated to the surface of the sea.

Perhaps, he is unique in the technology of catching octopus on the seabed.

The houseboats are closely connected one by one. At the meal time, the curling smoke from the stove gathers together to be spectacular.

Next to Zhao Chuanxin's boat house is a family of three.

The life of this family is very hard, and the three eldest sons who usually earn their living by fishing are struggling to survive.

Fortunately, the family is neat and tidy, which is already a blessing.

Due to the typhoon, many fishermen lost their lives at sea, and the price of seafood has risen recently.

Maybe it was because he earned more, when Zhao Chuanxin climbed into his houseboat, he heard bursts of laughter from their side.

He poured the octopus into the basin, washed it and chopped it.

Blanch it in water, stir-fry it with ginger and garlic, season with cumin, add leeks, and the aroma will be released immediately and spread far away.

Unlike fishermen in other boat houses, they eat in the awning.

Zhao Chuanxin carried the small table outside, sat with a small horse, and ate deliciously with every bite of food!

At this time, a small head popped out of the boathouse next to it.

This is the daughter of the family of three, she is a tanned but pretty girl, about the age of a junior high school student.

Curiously peeking at Zhao Chuanxin who was eating.

"Girl, come and eat?"

The little girl shrank her head.

In fact, although the two met in a hurry, they never spoke.

But whoever Zhao Chuanxin is, if She Niu violated the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu, he will also pick up on him.

The head drilled back, and drilled out again.

"I have already eaten."

The little girl seemed very shy, but she mustered up the courage to reply.

"I'll eat some more after eating. My stir-fried octopus with leeks is a must. It tastes great."

In order to save water, Zhao Chuanxin didn't put it on a plate, and ate it directly with a horse spoon, so he only needed to brush the horse spoon.

There is no gravity in the secret space, if you use an open bucket to fill water, it may float out occasionally.

For example, if he is carrying a bucket of water, the water will definitely slosh, as long as there are splashes of water droplets, it will be in the state of floating water droplets after entering the space.

If there are things that are afraid of getting wet next to it, the consequences will be disastrous.

So when he fills water, he usually packs it in a sealed container and puts it in the space.

But at the moment, the only airtight containers are glass bottles.

Seeing him use chopsticks, just pick it up casually, it is worth her three or four bites of food.

The little girl thought to herself: It's really edible.

She shook her head and replied, "I'm full."

"Hehe." Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Then do you want some drinks? Kvass, you are so angry, you are so cool."

He didn't know where to pick up a glass bottle, which contained orange-yellow liquid.

It looked suspicious.

Maybe it's because she hasn't had a drink before, and the little girl can't imagine what it tastes like.

So, she is not hungry.

Shaking his head: "No drink."

"That's a pity." As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin pulled out the stopper and poured a mouthful of it into his mouth.

Sha...

belch……

The little girl really couldn't imagine what the taste of the liquid with the strange name of Kvass was.

But this picture is tasteful.

Even with Li Shutong's introverted personality, he would eat an extra bowl with Zhao Chuanxin.

She couldn't help swallowing.

"Now, do you want to try it?"

This time, the little girl didn't speak.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed, took out another bottle, stood up and said, "Go on."

With that said, he threw the bottle in the past.

The little girl hurriedly leaned out from the houseboat, and reached out to catch the bottle deftly.

But because it was a glass bottle and it was still full of kvass, after she caught it, the bottle still hit her.

The handsome little black face twitched.

Zhao Chuanxin was embarrassed, as if he hit some soft spot.

I don't know if the little buns just out of the cage will be damaged.

"Are you OK?"

The little girl shook her head: "It's okay."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhao Chuanxin heaved a sigh of relief.

That's the way people are, you may just bump into something that is someone's favorite in the future.

The little girl hugged the bottle, lowered her head and said, "Thank you."

Quickly retracted to the houseboat.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care.

After he finished his meal, he tidied up his things, cleaned the pots and bowls, wiped them carefully with a rag, and put them in the space after leaving no water stains.

At this time, the little girl next door stuck out her head again: "Your houseboat is usually empty, and it is easy to lose things. You put away valuable things, and don't let people steal the boat."

"Oh." Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously. "I made a mark on the boat. If anyone wants to steal my boat and you happen to bump into him, remember to ask him to pay more attention, because stealing a boat will affect his height."

The little girl was stunned, her big eyes flickering: "Why does stealing a boat affect your height?"

Zhao Chuanxin dropped the broom, looked up and said, "Because, I will break his legs!"

"..."

The little girl stuck out her tongue.

So fierce.

Then he retracted his head again.

The weather is fine, neither hot nor cold.

Zhao Chuanxin moved out of the recliner.

On the boat, the reclining chair was inconvenient to swing, so he could only lean on it as an ordinary chair.

Then he pulled out his diary.

[The Cave of the Styx is at the junction of the tundra and the bloody wasteland. 】

[If starting from Sunset Town's route is too time-consuming, I plan to take a shortcut through Ghost Valley. 】

[Wearing the wounds of war with elastic boots on, the wind is fast, and after leaving the coastline, the vegetation is sparse, and the scattered houses are dilapidated. 】

【When they saw me riding the Wound of War, they first hid in fear.A child saw my medal of bravery and told the adults. Only then did the people calm down their inner fears and looked at me with great interest. 】

[After all, they haven't seen anyone other than biological remnants who can have a tall, mighty and amazing defensive mount like me. 】

[Perhaps before departure, the seafood I ate went bad. 】

[The Hall of Reincarnation of the Five Grains is calling! 】

[Even a brave man like me who has been traveling all year round still cannot escape the fate of fleeing. 】

Zhao Chuanxin, who was drinking kvass, was choked and coughed violently.

"I" floated away.

Now Zhengbajing regards himself as a brave man.

Little brother, remember, you still need the guidance of the strong.

[The most outstanding explorer in the mechanical civilization world, and the brave man who guards the city-state, is about to pull up his pants at this time. 】

[There is a stabbing pain in the buttocks. 】

【I looked back and saw that a snake bit me. 】

Zhao Chuanxin laughed.

Let you float, now "awl stabs the thigh".

Soon, however, he stopped laughing.

【I am dead. 】

Then, Zhao Chuanxin felt dizzy and sluggish.

Assi, it's dead!
I really want to slap "I".

This is purely because of drifting and carelessness, and the boat capsized in the gutter.

Except for a life-deduction at the very beginning, Zhao Chuanxin hadn't experienced the weakness of life-deduction for a long time.

[After spending one year of life, I was resurrected. 】

【It turns out that I was bitten by a poisonous snake. If some of the venom flowed out along with the blood, maybe I wouldn't die.But the blood-locking film in my body locks all the venom in the body, and there is no leakage at all, so I will die. 】

Can you do this?

Zhao Chuanxin gave a jolt.

If it were me, I wouldn't have the ability to revive him.

So there are two sides to everything?
He swore that he would never let a snake bite him in the future!
I don't know if serum is available now.

[This place is close to the ghost valley, there are many poisonous snakes, and there are many rocky peaks, which is hard to guard against. 】

【I dare not delay, let the Creation of War move on. 】

[However, not far away, I heard someone calling me from the side of the road. 】

[This is two children. 】

[I saw them very familiar. 】

[The boy said: Brave man, have you forgotten us?Back then you were still an explorer. 】

[I suddenly realized. 】

[Once upon a time, this child and I exchanged twin metals, and the weirdo helped me add them to the spider legs, and also increased the long-range attack ability of the spider legs. 】

[Now, he still looks dirty, with a younger sister who is also dirty. 】

[I asked: Why are you still here? 】

[Did not answer my question, the boy asked back: Do you have anything to eat?I have some treasures in my hand, which can be exchanged with you. 】

[My heart is softened. 】

[They are still impoverished. 】

[But I am already famous and have a lot of money. 】

[I took out a lot of food, and two sets of clothes that didn't fit the two children. 】

【I said: No need to exchange your baby, this is for you. 】

What rice?

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

"I", the little brother, have been "guiding the maze" by myself for so long, haven't I learned the slightest bit of my own cleverness?
You send kindness back to sending kindness, you can’t do without things.

However, whatever has been recorded in the diary is difficult to change.

He tried and failed.

We can only see how it develops in the future.

[The boy didn't expect that I would give him something for free, so he was stunned for a long time. 】

【His sister was so hungry that she took the food and devoured it. 】

[Wait for the two to finish eating. 】

【The boy suddenly said to me solemnly: Brave man, I want to tell you a secret. 】

[I asked: what? 】

[The boy pointed to the ghost valley not far away: there are no ghosts in the ghost valley anymore, they were all killed by the biological remnants and their bodies were taken away.

Now, it is occupied by a group of skinners.

Flayers are small, sharp-clawed creatures about the size of bugs.

They live in packs and hunt animals much larger than themselves.

Whether you walk on the ridge of the ghost valley or through the ghost valley, you will inevitably be attacked by them. 】

[I am terrified. 】

【I was wondering if this boy wanted to hide this information just now.And I'll be eaten by the flayers? 】

Zhao Chuanxin was also taken aback.

I used to read martial arts novels and emphasized that there are three kinds of people who should not be messed with when walking in the rivers and lakes: the elderly, women and children.

Sincerely do not deceive me.

【The boy takes out a bone from his ripped pocket. 】

【He handed me the bone: brave man, this is the throat bone of the Deterrence Beast. You just need to pinch it, and it will make a sound that you can't hear.However, all animals can hear except humans.You just need to pinch to make a sound, and the surrounding animals will be scared away, including the skinner.I call it - the shocking thorn. 】

[I thought of a possibility. 】

[If I hadn't just said that I would give the boy free food and clothes, would he have waited for me to be eaten by the skinner after I entered the ghost valley.Then take the shocking thorn and go to the ghost valley to pick up my things and take it as your own? 】
