mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 27 Refuse to be bells and whistles
The conversation was divided into two parts. Zhao Chuanxin hadn't done anything else these days, but was busy with the house.

Every day someone came to help, and Zhao Chuanxin lost his mind: Hey, this damn charm.

what can I do?
Had to let them do it.

Not only did he work, but he absolutely didn't eat food left behind. He had to go home to eat, so as not to cause trouble for Zhao Banxian.

It was the first time Zhao Chuanxin met someone who brought his own dry food to help with the work.

Then, the new home takes shape.

A pair of deer antlers hangs from a paneled wall in a combined lattice pattern.The other wall is directly built into antique racks and bookshelves, and the cabinet next to it is a camouflaged bed, which becomes a cabinet when it is erected, and a bed when it is pulled down.

His house is the only house in the whole village with a formal suspended ceiling.

The floor is full of snot-nosed children holding knots, polishing and polishing a little bit, and then lacquering and waxing. The stitching is seamless and shiny.

There is not much furniture in the room, a wardrobe, a shoe rack, a large solid wood neo-classical post-modern style desk, an office chair, two ordinary chairs and a coffee table.

This is not considered a one-bedroom, but only a studio.Because the warm wall in the middle is not completely separated, only half of it is built.In the back kitchen, there are upper and lower cabinets, and there is a bar next to it, and there are two high stools beside the bar.

To be honest, no one in Lugangling Village has ever seen this kind of decoration.

Waiting for the children to clean up the last trace of dust, Zhao Chuanxin walked into the new home and sighed: "Finally, I also have a home here."

After all the renovations were completed, Jin Tai also came to watch the excitement.

Upon entering the door: My Cao, is this still the house I sold him?
The two big eyeballs protruding because of the thinness are staring round.

Gao Laolan shook his head and sighed: "What a crime, how much does it cost?"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously, he had always spent money lavishly, if it wasn't for the sale of the leopard skin, there might not be enough money.

He said to Jin Tai: "Do you have any family heirloom books at home? Lend me a hundred and eighty copies, and I'll use them for decoration."

Jin Tai: "..."

If I had it, I wouldn't give it to you. Wouldn't it be nice to sell it for money?

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips: "Stinger. It seems that I have to do it myself."

Isn't it like playing with making some decorations by yourself?

……

The people that Zhanzhonghua sent to Lugangling Village to investigate came back.

"That village is very weird. At the entrance of the village, there are always children guarding it. When you ask them, you just shake your head and don't know anything. After a carpenter went out to buy things, he asked him if he had a horse beard to make trouble, and he said this place. No one dared to make mistakes. Ask him the reason, and he said that the people in Lugangling Village have one heart, and one person can drown a person with one spit. Ask him about Zhao Chuanxin, and he is trembling, his face turns pale, and he dares not say anything look."

Zhan Zhonghua frowned into "Chuan", which was really weird.

The subordinates continued: "Later, we sent another person to go in disguised as a peddler. The peddler said that the whole village was helping Zhao Chuanxin build a house, and everyone in the village went to see it. The peddler also went to watch the excitement, My good fellow, the new house is not big, but it is very grandly built..."

Zhan Zhonghua said impatiently, "Let's get to the point."

"The point is, Zhao Chuanxin is said to have returned from studying abroad and has a lot of money in his hands. Zhao Zhongyi's family is still the same, and there is no sign of a sudden outbreak."

Zhan Zhonghua: "So, they didn't do it?"

"I'm sorry they don't have the ability to deal with seven foreign guns."

Zhan Zhonghua asked again: "There was a group of horse beards from the west of Liaoning before. I heard the news. Where did they go?"

"No news. He probably ran away, after all, he committed such a big crime."

After pondering for a while, Zhanzhonghua still felt weird, so she said, "Didn't Little Jin Zier say that he wanted to smash a 'Xiang Kiln'? I think Zhao Chuanxin is a 'Xiang Kiln', so let me tell you about him. Little gold characters, let him smash them to see if they make a sound."

The burglary of a lock is called a smashing kiln, and the kiln is divided into a loud kiln, a hard kiln, and a soft kiln.

When the snatch is done, it just hits.If you didn't grab it, you just didn't smash it.

Xiangyao is for wealthy families, hard kiln is for armed families, and soft kiln is for poor people’s homes, and they will definitely not be able to grab anything except food.

……

After finishing the decoration of the house, Zhao Chuanxin was finally free.

Lie on the newly built rocking chair and bask in the sun comfortably at the door.

After several days of rain, it finally cleared up.

Now the sky can already feel a little cool.

A few days ago a peddler came and asked him to help collect goose down.

The salesman promised well, why didn't he come again?
Now that they are dead, a group of snot-nosed babies have even saved up a lot of candy balls in their hands, and they are greedy for one.

Who doesn't have a few toys they can afford?

But I got used to it, and I also like to play around near his house. If there are any big or small things, I will notify him as soon as possible.

The dog is also playing nearby, running for a while, and then back and forth, back and forth, with endless energy.

That's great.

The great guy who went up the mountain with him last time, as well as Liu Baogui and Gao Li, came hand in hand.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't get up. If he was interrupted from his most comfortable posture, it would be the greatest sin.

Liu Guigui smiled and said, "Zhongyi is coming back soon. I have an idea."

Zhao Chuanxin was lying down, patting the armrest with his hands: "Say it!"

"Now, the Northeast is not peaceful, and there are wars every day. I heard people reading newspapers in the city, saying that the little Japan, united with Britain and the United States, refuses to accept Tsarist Russia's management, and Russia's big soldiers don't withdraw. The fight is very stiff. Horse Beard, The number of locks is increasing every day, and there must be tens of millions. Damn, how many people are there? I was thinking, we can’t just know what to be afraid of every time we encounter something, and we have to prepare in advance. Otherwise, we can Like learning from Liaodi, what kind of insurance team should you set up to protect yourself?"

Zhao Chuanxin was lazy and unwilling to get up: "Just a few foreign guns, what's the use of building them?"

Liu Guigui was anxious: "Why is it useless? I heard that many of them don't even have guns, horse leaf knives, guillotine knives, pikes, and so on. There are many of them. With an iron rooster and a local cannon, you dare to take over the mountain and become king. We have eight foreign guns, and there are many people in our village, so are you afraid of them?"

For three days, Shibie should look at him with admiration, and Baogui became more and more sharp-tongued.

Zhao Chuanxin sighed, and finally stood up: "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"

Gao Li, who was silent next to him, interjected: "We also need to train, and if there are any gangsters, we will frighten them in one fell swoop."

Liu Baogui said: "We also set up an insurance team, and you are the captain. When Zhongyi comes back, let him join in."

I have a home, and the decoration is finished. In this small and exquisite house, I am the otaku.

Seeing their rapidly expanding enthusiasm, Zhao Chuanxin said helplessly: "That's fine. But my training requirements are very high, so don't back down when the time comes."

"That won't!"

Zhao Chuanxin said again: "I am different from the scorpion horse beard and even the army. I reject all bells and whistles. I have to dare to fight and fight hard. After training, I have the courage to shoot with the barrel of a gun in someone's face. Don't think about shooting guns two miles away."

Since the last time he turned over the beards of those horses, Zhao Chuanxin also inquired about some news about the bandits and bullies at this time.

Only then did I realize that, like Occupy Central Flower and Zuantian Fanzi, there are very few people who have big chaebols behind them to spend money.Most of them are sabers, horse leaf knives, guillotines, red tasseled guns, earthen guns and earthen cannons.In fact, it is the mob.

Of course, the government's soldiers will be more useless than them.

When the two sides encounter a battle, they are often far away from each other, firing guns indiscriminately, whoever makes the most noise and screams more frighteningly, will have the upper hand.The faint of heart, fail.

But when facing an unarmed person, it is a different scene. With a butcher knife in hand, it depends on your mood whether to kill or not.

Liu Guigui said loudly: "There are no cowards here, don't you think so?"

"Yes!"
