Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 81 Xi Bei presents the knife
Mancang stretched out his hand towards the child, meaning he wanted more.

The child looked at the rice dumpling in his hand and said, "I can't give it to you anymore. If I give it to you, I won't be able to eat enough."

"The warehouse is full." Meng Changqing said, and the two children noticed her.

The chubby child saw that she was well-dressed and the person following her had a knife hanging on his waist. He immediately understood that the person coming was a big shot and was so frightened that he did not dare to speak.

"Are you hungry?" Meng Changqing walked over and asked Mancang.

Mancang nodded.

Meng Changqing has only seen her eat two bowls of rice. Eating too much at a young age is not good for the body. "You can't ask for other people's food when you're hungry, you know?"

Mancang looked at her and said nothing, pretending that he didn't understand.

Meng Changqing patted her, and then asked the young man opposite Mancang, "What is your name? Who did you come here with?"

The chubby kid stood there with his chin curled up, hesitating and hesitating for a long time, looking around with a pair of eyes asking for help.

"Don't hurt..." Before Meng Changqing finished speaking, a young man rushed over from beside him. He hugged the chubby child and apologized to Meng Changqing repeatedly.

Meng Changqing: "It doesn't have to be like this, he didn't do anything wrong."

When the old man heard the noise here, he put down what he was doing and ran over. It's really worrying to run around at such an old age.

"Master Bai, please walk slowly." Meng Changqing said, "There is nothing urgent here, so don't fall."

"Yes." The old man went to the place and scolded the young man first. "I told you to watch the child carefully. How can you let him run around? Next time you take the child with you, just don't come to work."

"Master Bai, this child has been sitting here and not running around. I saw that he looked happy, so I came over to talk to him."

"I see." Old Baitou bent over to apologize, "It was my vulgar language that disturbed the adults." He turned around and began to introduce the chubby child, "This child's name is Manshan, and he is the son of my apprentice Hong Feng. This child is With solid eyes, he was always bullied by the children in the same village.

So my apprentice begged me to let him bring his children over. "

"Just bring it with you. As long as I don't run around and interfere with your work, it won't be a problem to sit here." Meng Changqing patted Mancang beside his hand, "This is my child. He doesn't like to talk. If Manshan is willing, Just talk to her more.

There's just one thing, no matter what she wants, don't give her anything to eat. "

Lao Bai hit Manshan on the back with his head and said, "My lord, I'm talking to you. Tell me you understand."

Manshan trembled, "I understand."

"You continue to work." Meng Changqing said to Manshan again, "You also continue to sit here. When the sun doesn't shine here, you can change to a corner. As long as you are inside this wall, it is not a problem to move around a little. "

"Why don't you thank me soon, sir." Old Baitou pointed at Manshan again.

Manshan knelt down and kowtowed to Meng Changqing, "Thank you, sir."

"Get up."

Meng Changqing took Bafang and Wang Xun out to see the public toilets.

When she got there, Yang Zheng had already seen it through. Meng Changqing asked him, "Is the wall strong?"

"Sturdy." Yang Zheng showed Meng Changqing a few corners and supporting columns in the room. "The leader of the first group is an honest man and is very good at what he does." He lifted heavy objects with thin wires and placed them against the wall for comparison. " Walls, door frames and even window frames are straight.”

Meng Changqing looked around the public toilet again, and it was indeed not much different from what she expected.

Entering through a large door, there is a relatively narrow well room in the middle, with men's and women's toilets on both sides. The squatting pit inside is divided into two long straight rows for easy cleaning.

The floors in public toilets are paved with blue bricks to prevent slipping and facilitate cleaning.Meng Changqing went to every corner and stepped on it to see if the green bricks were evenly paved.

"Have the work points been increased?" Meng Changqing asked.

"Not yet. I won't go back and add more after the inspection." Yang Zheng asked again, "If you think something needs to be changed, sir, a group of team leaders are still waiting outside."

"It's good. There's nothing to change. Let him go back and rest." Meng Changqing stepped on the squatting pit again, "Now that this thing is made, it must be used." Meng Changqing asked Yang Zheng to remember, and turned around to look at the latrines on both sides. Each has a large tank that can hold water.

"If anyone uses it, flush it immediately with water. This thing is built not far from the residence. If it is not cleaned at any time, the dirty smell will be unpleasant."

"Yes." Yang Zheng asked again, "Do you want to arrange for someone to look after the latrine?"

"Yes, one person can do the cleaning and care of the latrine. It will be counted as four work points a day. Let's see who is willing to take over when the time comes."

"Then there will definitely be a fight." Yang Zheng asked again, "Sir, the men's and women's huts are so close here, how can the women dare to use them?"

"For women, this is a place to clean the toilet bowl. Now that the residences have been built, they will not do it outside their homes." Meng Changqing continued: "If you want to accept these four work points, you have to look at the character. After all, the latrine This is a private place, no one can take advantage of it, and Captain Zhang must be asked to inspect this place emphatically."

"Yes, I'll tell him when I get back."

When they came out of the public toilet, they saw a group of team leaders looking at them eagerly.

"Your group did a great job." Meng Changqing praised: "The work points will be recorded for you later. If anything like this happens in the future, your group will be given priority."

The leader of the first group was surprised, "Thank you, sir!"

As soon as Meng Changqing walked to the gate of the county government office, he saw someone riding a horse from a distance.

She looked like her master Xi Bei, so she simply waited at the door for a while.

Sure enough, the person who came was none other than Xi Bei. He was riding his horse with one hand, holding something in his left hand, which was wrapped in cloth.

"Master. You have been running around Liangzhou City for several days, just for the things in your hand?"

Xi Bei dismounted and threw the thing to Meng Changqing.

Meng Changqing did not expect this, nor did he know that the thing was so heavy, and he almost failed to catch it.

Just holding it, Meng Changqing guessed that there should be a weapon inside.

"I asked someone to beat it for you." Xi Bei threw the reins to Bafang, "Take him to the stable and add fodder to the manger."

"Master, I want to see what you gave the young master. I'll go back later..."

"What are you talking about? I can't command you anymore." Xi Bei glared at him, "Don't worry about other people's affairs. You should do what I tell you first."

Xi Bei turned to Meng Changqing and said, "Go in and take a look."

After entering the mud house in the backyard, Meng Changqing unwrapped the cloth and found a machete inside.

This knife is much smaller than those used by people in the military camp, and is only half a fathom long from the handle to the blade.

"Your hands are weak and you can't use your strength when picking or stabbing. In fact, you are not suitable for using a sword." Xi Bei said, "Since the last time you fought against Yan Jun, I have been thinking about what kind of sword you use." weapons are more suitable.

You usually have the habit of wearing a short knife, and you have more strength to chop down with both hands, so a knife is more suitable for you.

But when fighting an enemy on horseback, a short knife is at a disadvantage. This is a knife I made specially for you. It is not as long or as heavy as a general machete. For you, you can use it with as much dexterity as a sword. "
