mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 29
The ancestor came back, no matter how lazy Zhao Chuanxin was, he had to pick it up.

At the entrance of the village, the ox cart swayed towards the village very slowly.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Zhongyi, who was driving the car, smiled and said, "Brother, I brought you back the glass and a lantern. It didn't cost anything!"

Because the car has glass, it is so slow.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on the side of the carriage with a smile, and lifted the anti-shock hay to look at it. He was disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

The permeability of the glass is slightly poor, and the cut glass pieces are too small, thanks to the fact that the window frames were not made in advance.

But that horse lantern is good. Now Zhao Chuanxin has only one candle at home, and there are no lighting tools, so it is quite inconvenient to go out at night.

"Brother bothered, why didn't you spend money on that??"

Zhao Zhongyi said happily: "I helped the caravan buy a little. I heard that I bought these things. I thought I was a rare foreign product, so I bought it and gave it to me."

Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up: "You must have done a lot of help, glass and lanterns are not cheap."

Zhao Zhongyi smiled and said nothing.

He is different from Zhao Chuanxin, he is not the kind of person to show off.

Then, when he saw Liu Guigui and others coming with foreign guns, he was startled: "You guys, this is..."

Of course he recognized those foreign guns.

Didn't you say keep it secret?Now it's bright and bright to carry the gun out, isn't it?

Liu Guigui was overjoyed, and told him what happened during this period of time.

Hearing that Maluxuzi was massacred, Zhao Zhongyi clenched his fists and his veins jumped.

Hearing Tuan Mie Ma's beard, he felt bad breath again.

"Hey, why is it so difficult for ordinary people to live?" Zhao Zhongyi sighed: "But you did a good job in passing on the salary, and the insurance team must practice. I have thought about it these days, we can't always be passive You have to strike first!"

"Ahem..." Zhao Chuanxin said in embarrassment, "Go to my house tonight, I'll cook two dishes, let's talk about it later."

He doesn't want to practice, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to work hard. Isn't it good to keep a low profile?
Liu Baogui became elated.

He may not be reporting the idea of ​​eliminating harm for the people and benefiting the common people. He just thinks that killing the locks twice and beating the beards of the horses is a bit quick for money, and he can also take away their weapons.

Zhao Zhongyi had to go home first, and had to reunite with his family.

Zhao Chuanxin went home with glass and lanterns.

The wood for the window panes has been prepared long ago, and now it only needs to be cut.

The top of the south-facing main window is arched, and the lower two are the parts that can be opened.He likes the neoclassical style decoration.

Some people used to say that he worships foreigners because he likes new classics, and he immediately sarcastically said: "You have the ability to put paper on the windows of your house!"

What is available to me is good, what is mine is mine, and what is yours is mine.

The lattice windows must be finely crafted, and the mortise and tenon joints fit tightly, so that they cannot be deformed at all after completion.No need to paint, just paint in the original color, it is amazing enough.

He tapped and tapped, stepping back and checking repeatedly.

A piece of work has been sculpted repeatedly and slowly formed in my own hands. I can never get rid of that feeling.

The sense of accomplishment of a craftsman is hard for ordinary people to understand.

……

In the evening, Zhao Zhongyi, Liu Baogui, and Gao Li came to Zhao Chuanxin's home.

The light from the horse lanterns clearly shines through the arched glass windows.

Following the soft light, Zhao Zhongyi saw a layer of stone slabs on the ground in front of the house. The shapes were different, but they were flat and beautiful.Although there is no fence wall, this small courtyard seems to be more artistic.

At the door, there is a deck chair.

Liu Guigui stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

When Zhao Zhongyi entered the door, the floor was a wooden floor that could be seen, and the floor was perfectly laid.

The bar counter and high stools are very novel.

There was a roaring fire in the fireplace under the warm wall, and the room was surprisingly warm and dry.

Although I was cooking, a pot of stewed meat and a pot of steamed rice, there was not much water vapor in the room.

The water vapor floated out of the house along the window panels on the stove.

"Brother, these, these are you..."

Let them in, Zhao Chuanxin said: "I told you before that the house should be built like this. Come in first, and the meal will be ready immediately."

There is a doggerel written by a foreigner, describing the residence of Chinese people at this time:

The shabby rooms of Huaju are as dense as a forest, and an inch of land is worth an inch of gold.The main room has a high ceiling and a small courtyard, and nine of the ten houses have yin.

The houses of the common people at the lower level are dark even in the daytime, because the windows are either made of window paper, sheets ground from shells, or silk, or even nothing at all, directly replaced by wooden boards.

It is dark from south to north.

The inside of the house is made of earth, and the walls are made of earth, which means it has the effect of sheltering from wind and rain, which is unbearable in Zhao Chuanxin's view.

Zhao Zhongyi has traveled far and wide and seen a lot, but there are very few houses with such fine decoration.

Can't help but be amazed.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously-don't be six in the basics!
When the meal is ready, there is a hand buckle under the bar, which can be lifted up to support it, and a larger countertop will be created.

The small apartment space utilizes the means of maximization, and is played by Zhao Chuanxin with great proficiency.

No, Zhao Zhongyi asked: "I see that there is no bed in your room, only tables and chairs. How do you sleep at night? Do you sleep on the floor? The floor is also tidy, but cold."

Without waiting for Zhao Chuanxin to answer, Liu Baogui rushed to say: "Isn't there a tall cabinet against the wall in the room? Pull it down, and it's a bed. When you don't sleep, push it up, and the room will be bright." Very big and spacious.”

Zhao Zhongyi: "..."

The meal is ready, everyone fills up the meal and pours the wine.

Zhao Chuanxin also filled the wooden bowl of dry rice on the ground with rice, poured broth and minced meat and vegetables specially prepared for it.There is also a small bowl filled with boiled warm water.

Zhao Zhongyi frowned: "Is it too extravagant? Now those bannermen's families dare not feed their dogs like this."

Liu Guigui hurriedly said again: "Just get used to it, it won't take a day or two to feed like this. The son of a bitch has become smarter than a human being! He can go up the mountain to look for sheep, drive away the yellow skin who steals chickens, and understand people's language , it’s quite a big deal.”

Zhao Zhongyi: "..."

Are you talking about "Liao Zhai"?

The horse lantern is placed next to it, and the firelight from the fireplace makes it quite bright at the bar.

The four sat down to eat and drink.

The stewed meat is rabbit meat, stir-fried twice-cooked pork, sauteed pork with thigh mushrooms, scrambled eggs with leeks, and fried peanuts.

Zhao Chuanxin took a few mouthfuls of rice first: "I will drink less, and you can drink to your heart's content."

If you drink at someone else's house, it doesn't matter how you drink.In my own home, I have to clean up after dinner.

Eating and drinking, Zhao Zhongyi talked about the strange things he had seen and heard along the way.

Liu Baogui and Gao Li complement each other about what happened at home.

It's a joyous time with friends.

Halfway through drinking, the dog at the entrance of the village suddenly started biting.

After eating and drinking enough rice, he had already returned to the small wooden bed that Zhao Chuanxin made for him to rest on his stomach.

Suddenly he raised his head and raised his ears.

After listening, he quickly ran to the bar: "Wow, woof..."

Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback for a moment, then got up immediately: "An outsider has come to our village!"

Dogs also have a certain language ability. They can distinguish different meanings from each other according to their barking. Although it is simple, it is also accurate.

Zhao Chuanxin can't understand other dogs, but he can understand rice.

Zhao Zhongyi wondered: "When did the dogs be released at the entrance of the village? Who released them?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Jin Tai's family can't afford to keep the dog. He is part of the village and has to contribute to the protection of the village, so he donated the dog and everyone took turns to feed it."

Liu Baogui added: "The idea of ​​passing on the salary is to put the dog in the grass, and most people will not notice it. But when outsiders come, the dog will bark."

Gao Li secretly said: Tsk, it really is Zhao Chuanxin's idea, it's too cunning!
In fact, the dog occasionally barks because other animals pass by, but if that happens, Qianfan won't give Zhao Chuanxin a warning.

He got up to get the rifle hanging on the wall first, and then took off the devil vine, thinking about it, what seemed to be dropped?

By the way, there are also spider legs...

Zhao Zhongyi said, "I'll go home and get a gun too!"

Liu Baogui greeted Gao Li: "It's time for our insurance team to go, you go and call someone, I'll go back and get our foreign guns."

Several people split up and acted.

Zhao Chuanxin went to the side of the road first and put down the devil vine.Then he looked back at the light in his window, smiled and hid in the grass by the side of the road lying on his stomach.

Next to him is Ganfan, who is honest and honest, sticking out his tongue and listening with his ears.

The dogs at the entrance of the village have stopped barking. If the visitors are unkind, it may be a disaster.

A black shadow, the cat stooped and sneaked towards this side.

Zhao Chuanxin could see clearly that this person was holding a horse leaf knife in his hand.

Friends and foes!

That's fine.

The eagle bone whistle sounded suddenly.

The man suddenly fell to the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin crawled on the ground and crawled in front of the person who was bound by the devil vine.

"Ah, there are ghosts! There are ghosts!"

This person was trapped, he didn't know what it was, and he seemed to be biting himself, bleeding, screaming in fright.

Zhao Chuanxin approached him, covered his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Zizi?"

Seeing that someone was coming, the man calmed down a bit, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he nodded sharply.

Zhao Chuanxin continued in a low voice: "It is the magic weapon of the Xian family that is entangled with you, and the magic weapon will suck your blood. Next, I will ask you, you just nod or shake your head. If you answer my question quickly, you and live. Suddenly, you bleed to death.

Are you a flower person? "

Shake your head!

"Are you from Zhanxi Mountain?"

Shaking his head.

"Are you from Little Jinzier?"

He hesitated, then nodded.

"I'll let go now, don't yell. If you yell, I'll kill you!"

Letting go of his hand, the man asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"Heh, it's just a little bit of red outside the pass!"

A stern aura of the number one master outside the pass erupted from Zhao Chuanxin!
