Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 67 Questions of authority (two chapters in one)

After listening to what Qiu said, Zheng Quchi remained silent for a long time.

Her mind is full of the one hundred and eight generals who were forced to go to Liangshan to rebel, forbearance with a knife on their head, bullying too much, honest people are in a hurry, it will often become a disaster...

She raised her head, forcefully forced a smile, and twisted her head: "It seems that for my life, I can only sacrifice those two insignificant people."

...Don't laugh if you don't want to laugh, this black light is blind, at first glance, it looks somewhat like a murdered soul.

Qiu Jian knew that she felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but he was stupid and couldn't think of any good way to remove the wrinkles in her heart.

Pursing his lips, Qiu made his most sincere promise: "Ruler, as long as you haven't done anything to betray the Mo family, I will always protect you."

The word "return" in his words was somewhat predictable, but Zheng Quchi didn't pay much attention to these details.

Zheng Quchi wanted to say, just the two of them, the little Kami at the lowest level of the Mo family, who can protect the other?
She didn't believe it in her heart, but there was nothing strange on her face, she just said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, I don't want to be chased and killed by the Mo family, so naturally I won't mess around."

Qiu could tell that Zheng Quchi didn't have a good impression of the Mohist school, and even resisted it.

Even every time I see him, I subconsciously show impatience and rejection.

Qiu was a little hurt, he wanted to say, the Mo family is the Mo family, and he is him.

But in the end, he didn't have the courage to defend himself, he just said sullenly: "I'll send you back first."

Speaking of this, Zheng Quchi suddenly remembered: "Why are you here? Did you hang out with Wei Yao?"

Qiu shook his head: "No, Weiyao is cautious and resourceful. He has thoroughly investigated almost every person who can stay with him. Ordinary people can't get close to him at all."

So the person Weiyao sent to take her back was not Qiu.

"Then, what about that soldier? Did you kill him?"

Qiu Wenyan stared at her with dissatisfaction: "I never kill people casually except for missions."

Zheng Quchi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Seeing that Qiu was a little angry because of her misunderstanding, she suddenly felt that Qiu was not hopeless.

So she tried to discuss with him: "Qiu, if Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao don't have the ability to repair the city wall at all, do we have to kill them too?"

Qiu told her very bluntly: "It's not up to us to decide whether we can kill or not."

Zheng Quchi understood everything now.

That's right, the man behind this scene is the man named "Master Qu". He wants to ask these young people to destroy the city wall at all costs. She doesn't know what the purpose of doing this is for personal enmity or between countries. Interests?

"Mohist, which country are you loyal to?" she asked.

Qiu said affirmatively, "The Mohists don't belong to any country, but the Mohist disciples come from all over the world."

This sentence is quite interesting, and it also caused Zheng Quchi to think about it on another level.

If the Mohists really didn't get involved in the disputes of other countries, then why bother to hold on to Ye's mess, as far as she knew, the establishment of any organization has an organizational goal, and then to achieve that goal.

Although she doesn't know the ultimate goal of the Mo family, she can guess that it is definitely different from the "Mo family" in her world, with a chivalrous spirit of peace, non-aggression and love.

Just by looking at every order they give, you can tell that it is all based on some kind of interest and conspiracy.

Qiu rides a horse and sends Zheng Quchi back to Guijialing, where he mysteriously disappears again.

But before leaving this time, he told her that he would be able to follow her openly when he made up a new identity and saw her next time.

Zheng Quchi said that she was not really looking forward to it.

The bag of crossbow that Qiu brought her was too big to take back to the shanty town, so she took the wrapped crossbow into the mountains, and found a recognizable bag of soil to bury it.

After finishing this work, the sky was already slightly bright.

Seeing this, she let out a long sigh.

She was so busy that she was like a spinning top that was kicked into the air. She didn't even have a chance to squint and rest, so she had to join the artisan brigade and started a new round of trench digging.

She was in charge of digging, and saw some old craftsmen beside her, so she thought about it and asked them: "Brother, do you know where there is cold water stone (gypsum)?"

Some people have never heard of the name Hanshuishi, and some people happen to recognize it.

"Oh, this thing seems to be sold in the market, but it's not used by anyone, but pharmacies occasionally buy it."

When Zheng Quchi heard it, that's right, this is it. In addition to being an industrial raw material, gypsum is also a traditional Chinese medicine for anti-inflammatory and sedative.

Her eyes lit up, and she asked a crucial question: "Is it expensive?"

"Rough stones are not expensive. If there are goods but no sellers, the stock is small."

She happens to be lacking in this taste, since it is sold in the market, she will look for it when she takes a rest. If all goes well, she will be able to make a simple version of cement by herself in a few days.

At noon, it was time for a collective break for lunch.

Unlike other fortifications, the laborers only provided one meal a day. Since ancient times, many craftsmen were overworked and often starved, and eventually either died of exhaustion or starved to death.

But Fu County is okay, two meals a day, full of food.

Zheng Quchi went to the food stall in the quarry to get two steamed buns with vegetables, and then he squatted down like other craftsmen and ate them.

Going out to work, on this condition, no table, no chairs, primitive and rough.

She is not squeamish, it doesn't matter if she eats well or not, as long as she can eat enough, this is also a habit she developed when she went to remote areas to do projects in the past.

But this mixed vegetable steamed corn bread is made of thick beams, without adding fine noodles to neutralize it. After steaming, it is too dry. If you bite it down, it is full of flour noodles. It is true that you can eat it with water. Dry throat.

"Xiao Sang, you are amazing, can you still eat two?" the person next to him asked in surprise.

Zheng Quchi tirelessly hugged the wowotou and gnawed it loudly: "I'm not full after eating one, I'm still growing..."

As soon as they heard this, they glanced at Zheng Quchi's touching five-short body with pity. Since she usually knows how to behave, no one taunted her, but only comforting words.

"Actually...it's useless to grow too tall. You see, there are so many of us, and we are not as strong as you alone."

"That's right, being short has its advantages. At least the sky will fall, and there will be tall ones to stand up to."

If you don’t know how to comfort others, please shut up, thank you!

Zheng Quchi stared at them angrily, "You are all tall and strong, how could you understand my feelings?"

Seeing that Zheng Quchi was going to run away again because of his short stature, everyone laughed and laughed, and quickly pretended to exclaim.

"Look, Master Yuan and Master Silver are here."

Following the direction pointed, Zheng Quchi turned around on his toes and looked over.

It is true that Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao came to the quarry.

At this time, they were dressed in five or six people, without the submissiveness they had in front of Yu Wencheng, their waists straightened up, their expressions were cold and arrogant, and they were discussing matters with an industrial officer.

And this worker was the one Zheng Quchi knew.

At this time, Mu Ke turned his head and saw her at a glance among the strong men who were planing food.

This is not difficult, just like a stunted "black beauty" mixed into a pile of green melons, as long as you are not blind, you can see the difference.

When he saw her staring at him like a silly son of a landlord with round eyes, he waved at her with a twitch of the corner of her mouth.

Zheng Quchi glanced left and right, seeing that the others were wrong, so he hurriedly evacuated a vacuum, and she suddenly became like an isolated island.

Seeing that she couldn't help it, she pointed at herself, and it wasn't until Mu Ke nodded in affirmation that she stuffed the remaining buns into her mouth, got up and walked over slowly.

When Mu Ke saw her, he smiled and introduced her to Yin Xiao: "This little brother Sang is the creator of the earthenware. Maybe she can help you this time."

Zheng Quchi was a little surprised. Is Mu Ke planning to introduce her for her?

Yuan Sui followed Master Li with his hands behind his back, looking at Zheng Quchi, his brows were so wrinkled that he could almost pinch a fly to death.

The color of disgust is revealed on the surface.

Where did you get a black briquette?
For a man to be black and ugly, short and weak, is a disaster.

I don't know who recruited such a rat shit into it.

But... why does this black coal look familiar?

"Officer Mu, don't be joking. Even if she had some ideas and made earthenware by chance, we are not doing carpentry now, but city defense construction."

Mu Ke saw that they didn't believe it, so he explained: "Actually, the earth lifter is a lifting device. If it is modified by her, it can be used for construction and defense, and it will save more effort."

Mu Ke is worthy of being an engineer, but his thinking coincides with Zheng Quchi's.

But there are always some idiots in this world occupying high positions, domineering, and self-righteous.

Yuan Sui sneered and said: "You put it simply, how can it bear force in dangerous places and not slippery on slopes and rocks? How can it move hundreds of thousands of stones, and move flexibly? I think this earthenware of yours is It can only be used for digging and moving mud, and other heavy industries should not be used to make people laugh.”

"This..." Mu Ke was reprimanded by him. He was embarrassed and humiliated, but he really couldn't come up with a solution for a while.

Zheng Quchi was born with two kinds of people who would not be used to it.

One is the person who bullied her family.

One is people who like to be "slapped" in the face.

Especially with Yuan Sui's high-spirited look, thinking that everyone else is stupid and he is the smartest.

"It's not easy to say, but it's that simple."

A resolute voice interrupted Mu Ke, the former follower.

Mu Ke turned his head to look at Zheng Quchi with hesitation, but Yuan Sui was contemptuous and mocking.

Zheng Quchi continued, and she said: "This is a problem that can be easily and simply solved by simply modifying the original foundation."

"Change? How to change?" Yuan Sui looked at her like she was a fool.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Quchi also looked at him with the same eyes: "Install wheels on the bottom seat to withstand the force of long-distance transportation, lengthen the round rod to control distance transportation, and thicken it to increase the load. In short, everything is possible. The solution."

"Of course it's easy for you to speak. Do you know that all machines can move the whole body by pulling one hair. You really think we are laymen, so you can fool us as you like?"

"I'm fooling?" She found it funny.

Who is fooling?This time, if Yu Wensheng hadn't personally come to oversee the work to put pressure, I'm afraid that in the end the repaired city wall would be just a pile of tofu dregs, and it would self-destruct in time without the enemy coming to push it.

She looked at the two craftsmen in front of her, who were boasted by the county as heavenly beings and rarely heard from the ground, and suddenly asked: "Do you know how long it will take for the mud to completely solidify in the wet weather of winter after adding rice?" , Remove the fixed scaffolding? How much should be used to achieve the degree of adhesion and tightness without excessive waste? If the rice is used up in the end, but the city wall is still not repaired, is there another way to replace it?"

Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao were stunned by her sudden serious questioning.

What is this all about? How did she know that they were going to add rice to the mud and use it as a bonding material to strengthen the city wall?

And those questions she asked, the words were sharp, and every sentence was succinct, they really didn't think about it.

The two of them were momentarily overwhelmed by Zheng Quchi's sudden aura of Zhang Er Gao, and all kinds of guesses in their hearts went round and round, but they couldn't think of the method that "Master Li" came up with. See through the mystery?
Zheng Quchi asked one last sentence: "You have no idea, but you try to achieve it in one step without actual operation. Who is fooling you?"

Yuan Sui was angry, and looked at her with vicious eyes: "You..."

Yin Xiao, who was less talkative, calmed down a bit. He pulled Yuan Sui back, and then looked at Zheng Quchi with a weird and vigilant look: "I heard you speak clearly and clearly. Do you know this method?"

of course I know.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't tell these two irresponsible construction managers.

"I don't know, this is the work of the two master craftsmen. I am a little mason who knows how to dig trenches besides moving stones. How could I know these things that even you are blind?"

At the beginning, Mu Ke was trembling when he heard it, and his head was in a cold sweat.

Later, when he saw Zheng Quchi's few words, from a professional and absolutely irrefutable sharp point of view, he overwhelmed the two master craftsmen, Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao, with gratitude and admiration from the bottom of his heart.

He smiled again.

Well done, Xiao Hei, uh, no, it's Xiao Sangzi!
Yuan Sui's face trembled, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand, then you just said..."

"Why do you ask me?" Zheng Quchi interrupted Yuan Sui, her brown eyes were bright like monsters, she smiled and said: "Shouldn't you ask the person who taught you these methods?"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt exploding in Yin Xiao's eardrums, and their expressions suddenly changed.

First, he glanced at the idlers around him, seeing that they all avoided their eyes, quickly dispersed as if they were guilty and did not want to cause trouble, and then looked at Zheng Quchi with a shocked and panicked look.

I bumped into a god of wealth, why does she seem to know everything? !
Could it be that this black briquette, like "Master Li", is some kind of extraordinary person who disguises himself to experience life at the grassroots level?
