mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 214 Ice Lantern
Most of the fish in the lake are river carp, a few crucian carp and bream, Zhao Chuanxin tried to pick the big ones.

There is air in the Azure Phantom Armor to insulate the low temperature, but after a long time, it will still feel cold.

In addition, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't bear it because he had to wear less clothes for work.

Insisting on catching enough fish, he finally set his sights on the two Aohuas living at the bottom of the lake.

The famous Three Flowers and One Island outside the pass.

Sanhua refers to Aohua fish, bream fish, and crucian carp, and Yidao refers to Daozi fish.

Among these fish, there are big and small, good and bad.

Among them, Zhao Chuanxin prefers Aohua.

In fact, it is mandarin fish born in Guanwai.

In cold water, mandarin fish grows slowly, but the meat is more delicious.

The snot-nosed kids outside were insanely happy, each with a frozen fish, happy as if celebrating the New Year ahead of schedule.

Then there was a "boom" from the lake, and Zhao Chuanxin rushed out.

Doesn't Neptune like to do this?Today he also relied on the blue ghost armor for a while.

After landing, the body is naturally not dripping with water.

Defu was not as elated as the other children. Instead, he approached Zhao Chuanxin, who had come ashore, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, I want to learn magic from you! I also want to keep myself from getting wet."

Other snot-nosed babies are stupid, but they are very happy when they catch fish.

Defu with exquisite seven orifices, of course, can see through the essence at a glance. It is better to fish than to fish.

After learning the spell, you can catch as many fish as you want, isn't it just as you like?
Zhao Chuanxin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "You can't, you are all fake spiritual roots, and Uncle Ni, I am a genius with heavenly spiritual roots that is rare in ten thousand years! Moreover, after taking the foundation building pill, spirit gathering pill and Buling pill the day after tomorrow Heavenly Pill, my body has been strengthened. I have also experienced big and small catastrophes, withstood the bombardment of ninety-nine and 81 thunders, not only did not smash my body, but it gave me the power of thunder and lightning!"

I am Cao!

Telford was dumbfounded.

You want to talk nonsense, but Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth and came without a knot in his tongue.

Telford had never heard of any of these words.

But just listening to it is very powerful, unparalleled in the world.Spirit root, spirit pill, sky thunder, are these things he can listen to without paying?
Defu said blankly: "Uncle, can you tell me about the fairy world?"

I don't know when, Zhao Hongzhi also came up together: "Yes, tell me about it, I'm also imbued with immortality."

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Zhao Hongzhi: "When I met you and your father, I already had the 'immortal energy', why do you want to have it again?"

Zhao Hongzhi sniffed and didn't understand.

Ignoring them any more, Zhao Chuanxin yelled: "I took the fish, get the hell out of here now. I'm going to continue digging into the ice. There are big fish below, bigger than the boat, whoever falls in again will not be safe." Let the big fish swallow it."

What do children know?
When they heard that there was a fish bigger than the boat, everyone was shocked and retreated in panic.

Hmph, can't he cure you?
Zhao Chuanxin cut a pile of ice, tied it with rope, and dragged it to the lakeshore piece by piece.

At this time, the benefits of great strength will be revealed.

Those snot-nosed babies were in groups of seven or eight, with blushing faces and thick necks, and they were not as fast as Zhao Chuanxin alone.

He was striding forward, turning around and laughing, "Look at you, you look like a bunch of cocoons, mantis chrysalis!"

They all wore loose cotton jackets, and their bodies were chubby, didn't they look like cocoon pupae?
A snot-nosed child objected: "You are an adult, when I grow up to your age, I will definitely be stronger than you!"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully, "When I was your age, I already had the power to throw images!"

Pure bragging force does not blink!

"What is the power of throwing images?"

"The power of throwing an elephant is to be able to throw an elephant!"

Xin said that although pigs and elephants are not the same ancestor, they both have long noses, so wild boars are roughly equal to elephants.

"Uncle Chuanxin, what is an elephant? Is there a big dog?"

"An elephant weighs about five hundred dogs, don't you think?"

"Wow……"

A group of snot-nosed babies exclaimed.

Harm, education has a long way to go.

The "Lugang Town Journal" should be allowed to publish a book on the popularization of animals in the world, so that these children will not sit on the sidelines.

It's just that there is no condition to build a zoo now. After all, there is not enough food for people to eat, otherwise it will surprise them.

When these ice blocks are transported ashore, they will naturally not be able to pull them all at once.

Zhao Chuanxin put the snot baby who fell into the water on the sledge, and drove the carriage to the small square.

When they arrived at the small square, Zhao Chuanxin said to the Snotty Baby: "I'll take you home first."

"Uncle, I'm not going home, I want to play here."

Zhao Chuanxin saw that he didn't feel any discomfort and was still alive and well, so he said, "Then you go home in this down jacket and come back with another set of clothes. We have to luck a lot."

"That's fine."

After tossing back and forth many times, the sledge is actually more labor-saving for the horse than the two-wheeled carriage.

The wooden bottom can bear all the gravity, and the horse only needs to bear the pulling force.

Just then, a horse and a dog came running from a distance.

It is dry rice and rice mountain.

It turned out that Zhao Chuanxin asked Da Yasu to let Mi Shan out for a walk every day.

With rice, Mishan can't go far.

Today, Ganfan brought Mi Shan to Zhao Chuanxin.

When Mi Shan saw the horse-drawn sledge, he came over excitedly and gave Zhao Chuanxin a hug.

"What's the matter? You don't want to let you pull the sledge, but you still ask for work? Then you can do it."

Seeing that it was eager to try, Zhao Chuanxin simply got rid of the previous horse and put Mi Shan on it.

Mi Shan pulled the sledge as light as nothing, and ran forward cheerfully.

After a few more trips, the ice was shipped back.

This year's project volume is relatively large.

Therefore, you can't just do it yourself, these snot-nosed babies also have to exercise their hands-on ability.

"Defu, divide these saws, you command, cut according to the specifications of this piece of ice, don't be afraid of cutting it, just do it boldly and it's over!"

As he spoke, he took the elf carving knife, the blade widened imperceptibly to the naked eye, and pushed it across the ice.

Back and forth several times, one side of the ice cube will be pushed neatly and smoothly.

Make a good sample and give it to Telford.

What he has to do is fine work.

Zhao Chuanxin, a hexagonal mage, can kill enemies when he is on a horse, engage in art when he is off a horse, and can dig ice with a group of little ones in winter.

Some people who came to take a walk in the small square saw him, laughed and pointed at him from afar, murmuring something.

Zhao Chuanxin ignored it completely and concentrated on carving.

Those people came closer to have a look.

"Hey, what is this sculpture? That long nose!"

"This is an elephant! Captain Zhao carved it vigorously. A real elephant looks like this."

"Captain Zhao still has such abilities?"

"You're ignorant, Captain Zhao takes these kids to make ice sculptures every year."

Carving animals is actually very simple, but carving flowers takes a lot of effort.

After Zhao Chuanxin carved out the elephant, he dug from the back of the elephant to create a space for the lamp.

Continue carving monkeys, rhinos, antelopes, crocodiles, dolphins...

This year, there will be an animal special, and let the snot baby understand the world.

Li Anyang and Jiang Mingxin also came.

"Bo."

"Big brother, I'm coming!"

Zhao Chuanxin got up and straightened his waist, beat his back and said, "It's getting dark, you two just came. Do you see how happy we are?"

Jiang Mingxin pouted: "You come out to play and don't call me!"

Zhao Chuanxin tightened the down jacket and scarf for her: "The little girl can't stay outside all the time, she will have a stomachache in the future when she catches cold."

Li Anyang has been standing aside with a sullen face, seeing Zhao Chuanxin treating Jiang Mingxin affectionately, although his face is expressionless, there is envy in his eyes.

This little emotion cannot escape Zhao Chuanxin's eyes.

He wondered: "Anyang, what is on your hair? Shocked, you have an elephant growing on your head!"

Li Anyang was terrified by his anxious expression, and he wanted to touch his hair with his hand.

Zhao Chuanxin said, "Don't move, let me do it!"

With that said, he stretched out his hand.

Pretending to swipe twice, he put his palm in front of Li Anyang: "Look, I'll just say it, you have an elephant in your hair!"

This is a Ganesha carved with antlers.

With four arms, the lower left hand is holding a bun; the upper left hand is holding a cigarette pouch; the lower right palm is raised up, making a gesture of "I really love you"; the upper right hand is holding a broom.

It looks cute, but its gestures and things in its hands are funny.

Especially those things are made of different materials. The bun is carved from a small piece of gold, the pipe is made of wood and silver, and the broom is made of a small piece of red coral.

This is a small gadget he carved when he had nothing to do when he was in Japan.

Li Anyang was very surprised, why did he have this thing on his head?

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "Here, return it to you quickly."

Li Anyang roughly understood that this was something Zhao Chuanxin gave her.

"Thank you Bo."

It was the first time in his life that he received such a precious and fun gadget, and Li Anyang was pleasantly surprised.

And Jiang Mingxin pouted when he saw it.

Children, the comparison heart is very strong.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw it, his expression changed drastically, and he pointed behind Jiang Mingxin and said, "Where did the toad come from, it wants to bite you."

Jiang Mingxin turned her head in shock, only Ganfan sat on the ground and looked at her innocently.

"..."

When she turned around, she saw that Zhao Chuanxin was holding a small golden toad pendant in his hand, and a rope in his mouth. On the rope, he was wearing auspicious clouds and carrying clouds, which was carved from pine stone.The beads are Nanhong, the small ingot is gold, and the tail pendant is a silver lotus pod with agate inlaid on it.

Now, the two little girls are settled, and everyone is happy.

Zhao Chuanxin said with a straight face: "All my treasures are given to you two. When you marry rich people in the future, you will return the capital with interest to me."

Jiang Mingxin raised his small face and said, "Daddy, when I earn money in the future, I will spend it for you!"

Li Anyang said with a sullen face, "Uncle, I will help you kill the Japanese devils!"

These words startled Zhao Chuanxin.

Why is she as murderous as Gao Li at such a young age?

"You should study hard. Uncle asked you, the elephant god has four hands. If two more hands are added, how many hands are there in total?"

And Li Anyang bit his lip again: "Eight!"

"..." Zhao Chuanxin said angrily, "Come on, tell me who your math teacher is. It's almost Chinese New Year, and uncle must ask him to settle the accounts."

"..."

Although the sculpture has not been finished yet, in order to show the atmosphere of the coming New Year, Zhao Chuanxin went to Liu Baogui's department store to buy candles and put them in the ice lamp to light.

This group of snot-nosed babies immediately turned up, and the parents couldn't pull their ears back.

Many people also came to see the ice lanterns. In the age when there were few entertainments, everything was rare.

Zhao Chuanxin was exhausted, so he took Jiang Mingxin and Li Anyang to a restaurant to drink mutton cakes, and then sent Li Anyang home.

Gao Li is the most low-key member among the core members of the insurance team.

He has no property of his own, and his house is not big, only a simple two-bedroom and one living room.

The room that was originally used as a study was changed by him to serve as Li Anyang's bedroom.

Every month, I live on my salary.The extra is the reward for doing missions and making meritorious service.

Although it is quite a lot, compared with Double Happiness who runs a tea house and restaurant, Zhang Daquan who runs a hairdressing chain store, Er Fatzi who works in a grain store, Liu Guigui who works in a department store, and Zhao Zhongyi who works in a garment factory, the salary in Goryeo is simply not enough.

But he is used to being frugal with rough clothes and food, and spends very little.

There may be more Li Anyang, and buying clothes and meals for her is considered a big expense.

"You go into the room, I'll have a few words with your salary uncle."

"Oh."

Seeing this, Jiang Mingxin followed Li Anyang into the room with a "whoosh".

Gao Li said with a smile: "This girl, she's a taciturn person, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zhao Chuanxin lit his cigarette, took a puff and asked, "You bring a mop bottle, how can you ask for a wife in the future? No way, send it to my family."

"Heh, don't you drag the oil bottle with you?"

Don't laugh at the second elder brother, okay?

"How can I be a fool? You don't understand. I look like a mediocre person, but I actually have an amazing ability to eat soft food. Let alone one or two, I can lead a football team to make a fool of myself. Find a wife."

Seeing his seriousness, Gao Li didn't want to talk for a moment.

Looking outside, he said, "It's getting late, and Ming Xin is sleepy, take her home quickly."

Wipe, if you say turn your face, turn your face, you belong to a dog!

Zhao Chuanxin yelled: "Ming Xin, you're home, you're a fool."

Jiang Mingxin ran out again in a flash.

Children are like this, and they will get tired of it for a while after three to five minutes.

Gao Li waited for Zhao Chuanxin to leave, and got water for her daughter to wash her feet.

After a tiring day, the little girl fell asleep, and he saw a finely crafted gadget on the bedside table.

The posture is weird, and this style looks very Zhao Chuanxin.

I saw all kinds of precious materials including gold, silver, coral, etc., and the worst thing was the pipe rod, which was made of small-leaf red sandalwood.

Gao Li smiled and shook her head, put the elephant god on the table again, closed the door and went out.

"It's really rare to pass on the salary."

……

Miao Cuihua saw Zhao Chuanxin coming back with Jiang Mingxin on his back.

He said: "The boss is not young, don't spoil her in the future, let her go by herself!"

Jiang Mingxin was already asleep, so Zhao Chuanxin didn't reply, afraid of waking her up, and just bared his teeth when he heard the words.

Zhao Chuanxin sent her back to the room and closed the door.

After coming out, she found Miao Cuihua still standing outside.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you not doing?"

Miao Cuihua's face was full of innocence. She was wearing loose pajamas, the hem of which was dangling from the top.

The pajamas are a bit thin!
"Why don't you just stand here and wait for the blast? Sister Hua, listen to my brother's advice!"

Miao Cuihua was stunned and said, "Why?"

"Listen to my brother's advice - stay up late, you will really get spots! Okay, go to sleep."

"whispering sound……"

Miao Cuihua's core has been upgraded, and her methods are no longer blatant provocations.

The darker, the better, the more exciting.

It took three days for Zhao Chuanxin to complete the ice sculpture in the small square with Snot Baby.

There are also igloos and ice slides.

For each stack of ice bricks, Zhao Chuanxin would level them with an elf carving knife, and pour water into the gaps between the ice cubes to make them stick together.

On both sides of the slide, and on the roof of the igloo, he cut out slots for candles to sit in.

At night, he put wax on the ice sculptures regardless of the cost, and the ice cubes refracted the candlelight in colorful colors.

Not only has it become a playground for children, but at night, people in Lugang town are willing to wear thick cotton-padded jackets to visit the ice scene.

……

As the year approaches, Naoko Yuka and Shinoda Harasaku bid farewell.

Shinoda Harasaku has a wife in Japan, and originally planned to take his wife over to live with him after the police station of the Governor's Office was set up.

However, Naoko Yuka appeared.

"Yuka, have you...have you considered changing jobs?"

The best cover-up identity is nine true and one false.

Naoko Yuka bluntly said that she collected information for Japan, surveyed the terrain, and carried a camera wherever she went. Taking pictures was her main task.

Need to travel all over Asia.

After a brief understanding of the investigation, Shinoda Harasaku believed in it.

It turns out that Naoko Yuka is a spy, and there is no way to find out!
After hearing this, Naoko Yuka was slightly taken aback: "Xiaotian-kun, why is this?"

During this time, Naoko Yuka defined the relationship between the two as male and female girlfriends, just like Zhao Chuanxin taught.

Sure enough, Shinoda Harasaku always wanted to sublimate the pure friendship intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing Naoko Yuka who clearly has a gorgeous face but a bright and bright personality, Shinoda Jisaku really wanted to confess his love, but he was always worried that Naoko Yuka would refuse.

Because Naoko Yuka knows that he has a family, and if Wan refuses outright, he is afraid that even the pure friendship between the two will be difficult to maintain.

Elegant in conversation, advanced in aesthetics, and extremely beautiful, Naoko Yuka has no airs in her personality, and is understanding, and doesn't mind listening to him complaining about work.

It is simply a good match in Shinoda Harasaku's heart.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, he finally seemed to back down.

Zhao Chuanxin's other plan immediately appeared in Naoko Yuka's mind: indecision.

She smiled slightly, stepped forward to smooth Shinoda Jisaku's padded coat, although the gesture was intimate, it was not ambiguous.

Her tone changed from bright to gentle: "Xiaotian-kun, you have to take good care of your body, Yuka will remember you."

When Harasaku Shinoda, who was originally shy, heard this, an impulse surged in his heart: "Yuka, please come again next year. We have enough intelligence personnel in the Empire of Japan, and I think you deserve a better position."

"Xiaotian-kun, this..."

"Yuka, remember, you must come, it's very important!"

"Actually, during this period of time, I also had a very happy time. Shinoda-kun is a very good friend. From you, I have experienced the thoughtfulness and care that men do not have nowadays. Thank you, Shinoda-kun. When I go back, I will Seriously consider it."

Saying that, he bowed deeply to Zhisaku Shinoda.

Then, with a smile on his lips, he carried his suitcase and boarded the train.

Compliment, a man cannot refuse a woman's compliment.Especially the praise of his heart and behavior made Shinoda Harasaku mistakenly think that this kind of friendship can definitely be sublimated.

Shinoda Harasaku stared at her back obsessively, and didn't move for a long time, until she got on the train, and the train whistled and made a rumbling sound of wheels and rails colliding.

Snow began to fall in the sky in response to the occasion, and in the profuse snowflakes, there was a touch of sadness and longing for Shinoda Harasaku.

He really can't forget this woman!
But Naoko Yuka didn't find any superior to report on her work, and she didn't return to the unaccompanied Japan.

She got off the train halfway and took another train to Lugang Town.

The first mission was a complete success, which made Naoko Yuka very excited.

Like many men and women who have seen the essence of love clearly, Naoko Yuka has a hard time feeling for someone these days.

Every move of Shinoda Zhice was within her expectations, just like what Zhao Jun expected, it could be said that she was playing in the palm of her hand.

This kind of thing will give people an unspeakable achievement, that is the pleasure of manipulating people's hearts.

Along the way, the excitement never disappeared.

In this way, we arrived at Lugang Town.

It was already dark at this time, and she saw the colorful ice lanterns in the small square, the bustling people, and the group of snot-nosed children who couldn't get enough of playing.

Here, it's really like a paradise, it always makes her feel relaxed and happy.
