mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 9

Looking at the backs of the two running away, Zhao Zhongyi frowned and recalled.

"Brother, who are those two?"

Zhao Chuanxin laughed and said: "Brother, this is a robbery. But somehow, when they heard your voice, they turned their heads and ran away."

Zhao Zhongyi slapped his shiny forehead: "Oh, I remembered, it turned out to be the two of them!"

"Huh? Brother, do you know him?"

Zhao Zhongyi shook his head: "I don't know each other. But a long time ago, they wanted to rob me and Baogui, and I taught them a lesson. Before, they had promised that they would never come to rob again, but they didn't want to renege on their promises and get fat. But Damn it, if we meet again, we have to give their legs a discount!"

Something seems to be wrong!

Looking carefully, Zhao Zhongyi is not as tall as Zhao Chuanxin, but he is still about 1.7 meters eight.Because the clothes he was wearing were patched and a bit loose, he couldn't tell whether he was tall or not.But Zhao Zhongyi's back was straight and he walked like the wind.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you have martial arts?"

Scratching his head, Zhao Zhongyi smiled honestly, and said modestly: "It's not considered martial arts, it's just rough fisting."

Big melon!
Zhao Chuanxin watched martial arts movies when he was a child, and fantasized about practicing martial arts every day.He didn't want to be a chivalrous man, but he wanted to pretend to be aggressive. Yes, this kid has always loved pretending since he was a child!
Later, he continued to try and learn various crafts, not for making a living at first, but to show off to show off.

The so-called: live to be old, learn to be old, pretend to be old.

He never imagined that his great ancestor was actually a master!

"Ah, you have martial arts, didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhao Zhongyi was speechless: "Brother, why are you talking about this? Besides, that guy who turned the world upside down was a gangster. At that time, he led two of his men to rob the women of the people. You wouldn't think that if I stood up and scolded them, they would Are you leaving in a daze?"

What you said makes sense!

Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Hey, is that so, you passed the martial arts to Zhao Hongzhi?"

Shaking his head, Zhao Zhongyi smiled wryly: "With a sharp weapon in your body, you will definitely have a murderous intention. In many cases, being strong will lead to a murderous disaster. Hongzhi is a bit of a tiger, so don't let him learn it."

So it turns out that my great-grandpa is a tiger?

"Then since you are so skilled, why don't you usually see you practice?"

The two talked while walking, Zhao Zhongyi replied: "When I was practicing, you were still sleeping. There is a spare wheel and a white wax pole in the yard of my house. Have you seen it?"

"Never noticed!"

"That's it. Every morning when I get up, I hold a white wax pole and spin the wheel to build up my strength. As for the moves and so on, my master said at the beginning that those who don't play are fake moves. The first two moves Practice every year, just remember it, you don’t need to deliberately practice every day. If you have the opportunity to find someone to get started, fight a few more times, and you will be able to do everything.”

"It's very reasonable. Those who don't actually fight are just putting on airs. Then who is your master?"

"I don't know! He will be hunted down by his enemies, so he won't tell me his name. When our family came from Yunnan to outside the customs, we met on the road."

"Then what boxing do you practice, you always know, right?"

"I don't know! He doesn't want to talk more, and I don't want to ask."

alright, you win!

All in all, Zhao Chuanxin was very excited after discovering that Gao Zu was a kung fu master.This kind of psychology is very subtle, and I am very proud of it.

Just like some people in later generations like to shout "My father is Li Gang", there is a similar effect.

Of course, Zhao Chuanxin would not use this to show off. He respected Gao Zu's wish to keep a low profile. (Of course, the greater possibility is that this great ancestor was too honest and didn't know how to use his own advantages.)
If it were him, Zhao Chuanxin, if the people who eat melons were not allowed to call 666 on the public screen and shout "You pretended to be there again", his name would be written upside down!

This also explained why a guy like Liu Guigui, who was more hairy than a monkey, was willing to make friends with the honest Zhao Zhongyi.

Have the ability!

Talking nonsense all the way, and arrived home in a short time.

Liu Baogui took the burden to sell the noodles, Zhao Chuanxin took the cooking and went back to his newly bought small earthen house.

A group of children from Telford also followed.

Thinking of the caramel I ate yesterday, my mouth is watering!

Today, Zhao Chuanxin not only bought two packs of caramel, but also half a pack of dim sum.The other half was given to Zhao Zhongyi.

He kicked off the rotten half of the door panel, picked up a rotten board, and drew a sketch on it with the elf carving knife.

Not long after, a simple decoration plan was released, which will be gradually improved in the future.

He got up, took out sugar balls from his pocket, took out one and held it up: "Which one of you has a sieve? Who has it, lend it to me for a few days, and I will give him a sugar ball every day. If you use it for a day, give one piece!" "

A child seemed to have won a lottery, and jumped up excitedly: "My family has it, so I'll go get it for you!"

Run away in a hurry.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the other children who were full of anticipation, and continued to give orders: "Whoever has a sickle, lend me a day, and I will give you a sugar ball."

All hands up this time.

He picked a child at random.The kid turned around and ran.

Seeing that he stopped talking, the little kids were anxious: "What about us?"

Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully: "Don't worry, when the tools arrive, you can do the work."

The sieve was brought, and the sickle was brought.

Zhao Chuanxin divided the candy between them, and the two kids were very happy.

It's no different from the feeling of making money on your own.

"Now, which one of you has a dirt basket, you must be able to carry it so big, go and get it, this one doesn't give sugar, because you use it yourself, you only give sugar when you work with the dirt basket!"

Wow, I ran more than half of it again.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin took a sickle and cut the weeds in front of and behind the house.

The remaining two children have nothing to do, so they are in a hurry.

Zhao Zhongyi was overjoyed, and pointed to the weeds that had just been mowed: "You two take these weeds to me, and each of you can take a piece of candy."

The two let out an "O" and ran away holding the grass.

The only one not working here is Telford.

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised that the boy could still hold his breath.

"Defu, don't you want to eat candy?"

Defu pretended to be disdainful: "I am a noble person, and I don't do vulgar work. My father said that those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will rule others!"

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin smiled, "Then you think you are a hard worker? Then let me ask you, how do you get the reward of sugar balls by working hard?"

Telford pointed at the group of children and said arrogantly: "I am the biggest here, and they all have to listen to me. I can help you manage their work!"

"Hey, what a big tone." Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "Then believe it or not, as long as I give them enough sweetness and play with them now, they will only listen to me in the future?"

Defu's forehead was sweating all of a sudden.

The possibilities are infinite!
In the past two years, when his family still had money, he built up his prestige by often bringing food out for distribution.Then he took them to play, and stood up to top the tank when he got into trouble.After a long time, even if he doesn't give other benefits, the children are willing to listen to him.

This is the way to control people, and it is still suitable in the world of adults.

If Zhao Chuanxin really did that, it would take less than two days before the status of the king of the kids would change hands!

"You, you can't do this! You are an adult, how can an adult play with a child?"

No matter how big a kid is, he's still just a child.

Seeing Defu's tears were about to flow down, Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "Haha, I won't tease you, don't cry. Let me tell you, if this candy ball continues to be distributed like this, there will be nothing to distribute in a while. Just handing out sugar balls can be regarded as standing up to a tree, and standing a tree is a letter, do you know this allusion?"

Defu saw that there was still a turning point, so he hurriedly suppressed his tears and nodded: "I know, my father taught me."

"Heh, your father is not useless, nor is he only good at smoking." Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips. "So, next, I will hand over the power of labor distribution to you. You listen to me, and I will teach you how to do it..."

Let's talk a lot, and finally, Zhao Chuanxin patted the tiger hat on Defu's head: "Understood? I won't give you sugar balls. I still have some snacks. I'll give you two in the evening." [-] yuan, count your wages for today’s management. If you understand, go do it!”

"I understand!" Defu tried hard to remember, but asked again: "Then after the distribution of sugar balls and snacks is over, will you still buy them?"

Eat sugar every day?Don't give your child diabetes!
Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "No matter how delicious the food is, sometimes it gets boring. When the sugar balls are finished, I can come up with other novelties!"

After finishing speaking, he sat on the threshold, ignored Defu, took out the diary in his arms, and buried himself in it...
