mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 293 The Arrival of Talented Man and Sister Hua

Liu Baogui said: "It's a coincidence that he is not in Lugang Town now."

"Um... where did Captain Zhao go?"

Liu Guigui pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and pointed to the Jiandao area circled: "Here. If you want to find him, I can send someone to escort him all the way. It just so happens that there are still people here who want to look for him. , you can find a partner on the way."

Li Shutong came to Lugang Town after returning from Japan, which can be regarded as a long way.

Asking him to go to Jiandao to find Zhao Chuanxin, he was really a little bit blind.

"Thank you so much."

……

Zhao Chuanxin and a group of people came outside the old camp, and saw Mi Shan and Ganfan running towards them from a distance.

Although Mi Shan is big, his speed is even better.

Seeing it running like the wind, the bangs on its forehead and the mane on the back of its neck flying, and its four strong hooves, Li Xiangxie, Ning An, Quan Shangqiu and others were very shocked when they saw it.

It's like seeing a muscular man who runs faster than a sprinter.

Seeing that Mi Shan was running fast and couldn't catch up, Gan Fan turned a corner, stepped into the river beside the road, and began to cut corners.

Everyone discovered that the black and white dog could run on the water.

This is strange.

Mishan and Ganfan arrived almost at the same time.

Mi Shan's big head came closer and arched Zhao Chuanxin's chest.

Zhao Chuanxin patted the horse's face: "Eat fat and strong, it's time to lose weight, don't run too bad."

Cooking rice: "Wow, woof, woof..."

Zhao Chuanxin shrugged at it: "I didn't bring back anything delicious when I went to Korea this time, only cold noodles, sweet and sour. I don't know if you would like to eat it."

Not very interested in cooking: "Wow, woof..."

"Haha, rejected five male dogs? How heartless."

Li Xiangxi, who was behind, was confused and asked Liu Yonghe: "Battle Commander Liu, is he talking to a dog?"

"Hehe." Liu Yonghe's expression was strange: "If you treat it as a dog, then you are very wrong. This dog is smarter than a human..."

For the sake of Zhao Chuanxin's face, Ganfan often helped him spy on information.

From time to time, it also commands a group of crows to fly around. It can be said that the enemy is brave, cowardly, strong or weak, advancing and retreating rapidly within a radius of tens of miles.

Apart from not being able to communicate with it without hindrance like Zhao Chuanxin, this dog is simply stronger than any scout.

Briefly talked about the magic of cooked rice.

Li Xiangxie, Quan Shangqiu, Ning An and others were amazed.

"It turns out that the animals beside strange people are so intelligent and spiritual." Quan Shangqiu sighed.

Ge Yunpeng couldn't help interjecting: "The people around strange people are also very spiritual, such as me."

Liu Yonghe kicked him: "You are everywhere."

The crowd laughed.

Liu Yonghe said to Zhao Chuanxin: "When you were in Korea, Ganfan took Mishan to wait for you outside Laoyinggou every day."

Zhao Chuanxin was a little touched, he got on his horse and said, "You guys walk slowly behind, I'll go back to sleep first."

Seeing him pulling the reins, Mi Shan began to speed up, and disappeared for a moment, leaving only a trail of smoke and dust.

When Zhao Chuanxin returned to the old camp, he first took advantage of the scorching sun at noon to take a bath in the river with all his clothes off.

Mi Shan was drinking water downstream, and Zhao Chuanxin splashed it with water: "Don't drink soapy water, Biao?"

Mi Shan raised his head and ran up to drink again. After drinking the water, he grazing leisurely by the river.

Ganfan ran in circles on the water, and suddenly braked beside Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin said, "I'm going to America, will you go?"

"Wang!"

"Why don't we go to the North American prairie to herd cattle and sheep, and come back after the Qing Dynasty dies in a few years."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Tranquility? It can't go with you, it has a big family."

Crows have the habit of living in groups.

In Zhao Chuanxin's primary school texts, he had seen stories about lambs kneeling and crows feeding back.

This is very uncommon among birds.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Sister Hua? She still has a daughter to raise, so I'm afraid she won't be able to leave. You can't even think about taking everyone with you, wouldn't that mean you're going to evacuate Lugang Town?"

After chatting with Ganfan for a while, Zhao Chuanxin dried himself off, put on his clothes and went back to sleep.

He was actually quite tired. When he was in Korea, his heart was always hanging.Sleep with one eye open.

Returning to my own place, I slept from that day until the next morning.

When Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes, he saw a figure walking back and forth in the room.

He rubbed his eyes: "Sister Hua? Why are you here? Am I dreaming?"

Miao Cuihua was wearing black three-quarter sleeves, cropped pants, and white shoes.

The hair was pulled back, and the hair on both sides of the forehead hung down, still so sexy.

"What are you dreaming about?" Miao Cuihua came to the kang, reached out and patted Zhao Chuanxin's buttocks through the quilt: "It's three poles in the sun, and the kang is about to get up."

Zhao Chuanxin got up with a grin, not caring about being exposed in front of Miao Cuihua at all.

When he was injured before, Miao Cuihua had experienced everything that should be seen and touched, so there was nothing to tweak.

Dressed neatly, Zhao Chuanxin saw that the underwear that Miao Cuihua had washed and hung on the rope in the yard had been changed yesterday.

He went to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Meals are ready.

hiss……

Zhao Chuanxin grinned and said, "Hey, as soon as you come, Sister Hua, I'm going to fall again."

The days when the clothes come and the hands are stretched out to eat and the mouth is opened are really beautiful.

He asked again, "Why are you here?"

Miao Cuihua sat on the chair next to her, with her legs crossed, showing her two white and tender feet.

In front of Zhao Chuanxin, she was also very casual.

"I'm afraid you won't have enough food and clothing to keep warm, so here you go."

Zhao Chuanxin felt warm in his heart.

"Where's Jiang Mingxin? What's wrong with the little girl?"

Miao Cuihua covered her lower abdomen with both hands: "The two old mothers in the family are now serving her, what else does she want? Besides, Jiahui and the others will take care of her, so it doesn't matter."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and laughed: "Okay, then I will go to the United States and bring her some gifts later, or the little girl will pout."

Zhao Chuanxin was sitting on a small bench in the yard, next to a small square table, on which were placed crystal clear soup dumplings, a bowl of clear rice porridge, and a stack of pickles mixed with cabbage.

Miao Cuihua knew that Zhao Chuanxin liked to eat this bite.

"She's used to it!" Miao Cui's eyes fluttered: "I'm going to America with you, this time I'm not going to fight, right?"

"How could it be? Since I was a child, I have taken it as my duty to maintain world peace."

Zhao Chuanxin poked a small mouth on the soup dumpling with chopsticks and took a sip.

"..." Miao Cuihua: "When are you leaving?"

"Just a few days, let's go if we say go."

Miao Cuihua patted her thigh: "Emma, ​​I almost forgot something."

Her movements were too large, and Zhao Chuanxin swallowed when he saw clusters of waves pushing up and down to fuel the flames.

"what's up?"

"There is a man named Li Shutong who came with me. He is still waiting for you."

"Li Shutong? All right, I'll go see this old man after dinner."

Li Shutong arrived this morning and was escorted by members of the insurance team, so there was no concern about his safety.

Those four people were at the train station, bossing around the Japanese, and the Japanese staff at the train station didn't even dare to fart.

This is unimaginable in Li Shutong.

He could see that the Japanese were afraid of these people from the bottom of their hearts, and he could also see that the members of the insurance team were definitely not trying to be aggressive, but that they really didn't take these Japanese people seriously.

It is only natural to treat the Japanese as if they are commanding subordinates.

Randomly calling out a person in the insurance team has an awe-inspiring aura in front of the Japanese.

Then there is Miao Cuihua.

Yang Cuixi, Li Shutong's former good friend, was known as: plump and full of temples, round like a moon.

But compared with Miao Cuihua, she can be called "petite and charming" at best.

The style of Miao Cuihua from the bottom of his body made him dare not look directly at her.

This put a lot of pressure on Li Shutong.

In the morning, he had breakfast with the backwater army.

The food is not good for a son like him who hangs around romantic places all the year round.Steamed buns, eggs, rice porridge, cabbage and pickles.

But it's better than being fine and full.

After eating, he was taken to a pavilion.

There is a pit in the center of the pavilion, and a tank is buried in the pit.

The vat was covered with a piece of cowhide, and there was a faint smell of grease and smoke from the cracks.

Not long after, he heard the patter of a horse's hooves, a tall horse rare in the Central Plains, coming from behind with a puff of smoke.

There is also a dog.

Before the horse stopped, Zhao Chuanxin rolled over and got off the horse by pressing the saddle post, but he didn't stagger due to inertia, and his posture was wanton and chic.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Li Shutong who had taken off his suit and put on his coat, and laughed: "Your brother is finally willing to come back."

Li Shutong got up and cupped his hands: "Thanks to the help from Chuanzhi, if it weren't for you, the family would have to save money and send me money for my squandering."

"I'm just afraid that you won't be able to think about it. If you go to the temple to become a monk, and there is one less talented person rolling around in the world of mortals, it will be so boring."

Then, Zhao Chuanxin turned around and said to Ganfan: "You two go and play, I will come back after blowing the whistle."

Ganfan took Mishan and ran away in a hurry.

Li Shutong looked envious, wandering freely, with the true qualities of a hero, as it should be.

Li Shutong said: "Everyone who came out of Lugang Town is a hero, and it is heartbreaking. I think the Japanese bow their heads and ears. In the whole Qing Dynasty, only Lugang Town can do this. Even Cixi can't let Japan People are scared from the bottom of their hearts.”

Regardless of whether the benches in the pavilion were dusty or not, Zhao Chuanxin sat down, waved his hands and said proudly: "For Lugang Town, it is like in "Three Kingdoms", as long as it is not your own camp, it is called courageless Rat, it's not worth mentioning."

Li Shutong: "..."

Many Japanese are obsessed with the Three Kingdoms, and people often discuss it with Li Shutong.But it was the first time he had heard someone say "Three Kingdoms" like that. Thinking about it carefully, it was very appropriate.

"Hey, after returning to China, I don't know why, but I found that my old relatives and friends are no longer in touch. It's a pity."

Zhao Chuanxin blinked: "You should ask yourself, is it the reason for your family's downfall? Is it because you didn't work hard to make money? But if you still have some money, your relatives and friends will not run away."

"Ah this..."

Li Shutong felt a familiar smell.

Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "I told you to pick up girls in Japan, did you listen to me?"

Li Shutong's expression froze.

Originally, he had a relationship with an art model, but he hesitated after hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words.

There might have been an epic new love affair, but since then, Li Shutong always felt guilty when he met again.

It seems that once something happens with the other party, he is just playing with his feelings.

He sighed: "The paper is short and the love is long, it's a pity. There was an art student. I told her that I wanted to marry her, but she kept laughing. I was at a loss at the time, and I didn't know what she was laughing at."

"I don't know what to do?" Zhao Chuanxin looked at him like a fool: "Just ask her directly, are you laughing?"

It was a real disappointment.

Li Shutong was extremely helpless.

Just a little ripple from the bottom of my heart, as if being roughly smashed into a boulder, the water splashed, and no artistic conception was lost.

He said: "Let's not talk about these things. I came back this time to return your favor. You said at the time that you wanted to practice the piano, and I have achieved something in a small way. I dare not talk about it. Let's learn skills together."

"Okay." Zhao Chuanxin readily agreed, living for such a long time, I'm sorry for the long life span if I don't learn a few more skills. "What about the piano?"

"Ah?" Li Shutong was stunned: "You are learning the piano, shouldn't you prepare one?"

The piano was called the king of music in the West at this time.

The price is high, and ordinary people can't touch it.

His family was in ruins, where did he get the money to buy a piano?
Zhao Chuanxin took a look: "Oh, you are here to teach me the theory class, aren't you?"

"Well, if not, I'll find a way to find a friend, see where there is a piano, and let's practice for two days."

"I've never heard of it. Practice piano at someone else's house? Do you take care of the meals?" Zhao Chuanxin was speechless. "Come on, come with me to the United States, just in time for you to see the colorful world of Europe and America. At that time, I will go to the musical instrument store and pick up a piano, which is quite expensive."

"Steal, steal one?" Li Shutong's scalp tingled when he heard that.

Can't help but think of things in Kobe, Japan.

He complained: This is a habit of stealing, stealing when there is no food, and stealing when there is no piano.

Zhao Chuanxin: "Bah! You are still a cultural person. Can a cultural person be called stealing? I am doing my best for the development of world art. Well, don't worry about those details."

Ai Ai in the same period as Uncle Li: "But, I just returned to China, and I'm going abroad again..."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chuanxin squinted at him: "Besides Yang Cuixi, are there other lovers that make you worry? I'm not talking about you, Lao Li. There are big ocean horses outside. You can ride them casually. I'll treat you when the time comes. Don't be in a tree. Hanging from a tree, you will be promising, Ang."

Li Shutong scratched his hair.

Most people in the world are like sweet milk mixed with water. Although it tastes good, it has a dull aftertaste. Zhao Chuanxin is just the opposite. When he is famous, he feels that it is magnificent.

"Okay, don't hesitate, just do it."

Zhao Chuanxin was actually torturing him.

It's not that it's wrong to become a monk, it's just that Zhao Chuanxin doesn't like monks.

It's not that he can't understand the monk, he just can't understand the monk who pretends to be a thieves and prostitutes in his arms.

After seeing more, the subconscious mind will feel that this is the case for monks now and in the future.

"Well, that's fine."

This indecisive and talented man, even dragged down by Zhao Chuanxin, still agreed.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Then it's settled, get ready and set off in three or five days."

It seems to have returned to the lazy time when the sunlight was divided by floor-to-ceiling windows in Lugang Town.

It's just changed to a yard now.

And the armrests of this recliner haven't been pulped yet.

Miao Cuihua was busy going in and out, while Mi Shan often poked his head into the small gate of the fence to probe his brain, and then retracted after seeing nothing happened, not knowing where to graze.

Satisfied, Zhao Chuanxin took out the diary.

[The little boy wants to return from the Ghost Valley. 】

[But the goblin said: It is no longer safe there, every month, there will be a heavy fog in the ghost valley.After the ghosts disappeared, the skinners, who had no natural enemies, would follow the mist and eat all the flesh and blood along the way. 】

[I said: If we don’t go to the ghost valley, we will have to take a long detour. 】

[Goblin said: We can go east and enter the Shadow Forest.I know a secret way through the Shadowwood safely. 】

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up when he heard about the Shadow Forest.

There are a lot of babies out there.

[We headed east, and I told the goblin why I came here to save him. 】

[I heard that the weirdo wants to study the notes of biological remnants and create a kind of biological intelligence, the goblin showed an extremely disgusted look. 】

[He said: This kind of thing itself does not have the attributes of good and evil.But once it falls into the hands of evil people, it will cause a tragedy greater than the remnants of creatures to the world. 】

[I accepted the mission of the weirdo and came to rescue the goblin, in order to let him become the assistant of the weirdo. 】

[But he objected, I bit the bullet and said: Maybe things are not as bad as you think, and the weirdo will be under control. 】

[The goblin shakes his head: Brave, you don't understand.Once biological intelligence comes out, all civilizations except humans will be destroyed. 】

"I" may not have understood, but Zhao Chuanxin did.

There are not a few races destroyed by so-called "civilized people" on the earth.

Greed, war, slavery, destruction...

This happens all the time.

The land of the Central Plains, if there is no foundation, the end will not be much better.

He hesitated slightly.

He himself wanted the weirdo to develop biological intelligence. After transforming Xingyue, it might be of great help to him.

But for his own selfishness, destroying the world in the diary, even if he is heartless, he still feels somewhat guilty.

Forget it, let go of the helping complex and respect the fate of others.

[I used pale language to argue with the wise goblin, saying things that the boys and girls couldn't understand. 】

[When we reached the edge of the Shadow Forest, I also failed to convince the goblin, but was almost persuaded by the goblin. 】

[The goblin stood there thinking for a while, and said: If my memory is correct, we should go deep into the Shadow Forest from here. 】

[The faces of the boys and girls show the fear of being far away from the familiar environment.They looked at the pitch-black Shadow Forest, and hesitated to move forward. 】

[The goblin smiled when he saw this, and took out a shiny stone from his bosom: This is fluorite, which can light our way forward.Don't worry, two little guys, with me here, nothing will happen to you. 】

[The wisdom of the goblin makes his words convincing. 】

[Boys and girls gritted their teeth and walked into the Shadow Forest with us. 】

[Although I haven't come here, I am familiar with the environment and special atmosphere of the Shadow Forest. 】

【I said: Wait, I'm going to try to summon a magical plant. 】

[I took out the Eagle Bone Whistle.I don't know if devil vine survives here, but I'm going to give it a try. 】
