Chapter VIII: Hometown Affairs Should Be Known
Shen Muqiu ate the fruit and watched Guangtong pick up the sword box. This sword box is actually more like a bamboo tube that has been cut open.
Guangtong took out a small gourd from the kit, opened the mouth of the gourd and let out an aroma, stirred in the gourd with a thin bamboo skewer, and when he took it out, the bamboo skewer also had an aroma on it.
Guangtong put the end of the bamboo skewer into the hole where the silver wire came out, and the oil beads on the bamboo skewer flowed in. After repeating it several times, he lifted the sword casket up with both hands and swung it up and down and left and right. It shook for a moment before putting the sword box back on the table.
Guangtong took out four or five copper-colored hard wires with the thickness of a one-foot long dragon's whiskers from the tool kit, and bent a broad bean-sized circle from the middle with pliers.
He sat down on a stool, placed the sword casket horizontally between his legs, took a copper wire and carefully inserted the circle at one end into the round hole on the outside of the cassette, while the other hand picked up a piece of deerskin.
But as soon as I tried, the copper wire broke. Helplessly, Guangtong took two and reached into the round hole together. I saw him slowly and forcefully pull out an almond-sized thing from the hole, shaped like the head of an arrow and crossbow, except that underneath this thing was not bamboo, but a gold wire as thin as a hair.
Guang Tongcai pulled out only two centimeters, the copper wire in his hand was broken again, and the almond-like crossbow bounced back.
Reluctantly, he had to take two more, this time the action was lighter, and as soon as the crossbow head was exposed, he pinched it with his left hand on the deerskin, and then the two copper wires were also broken.
Guangtong put down the broken copper wire, stretched out his hand and shouted at Shen Muqiu, "Don't eat it!" Help! ”
Shen Muqiu quickly put down the fruit in his hand and pulled out a pair of gloves from Guangtong's tool bag.
The glove was cast in soft iron, and when worn on the hand, the fingers were estimated to be unable to bend. Shen Muqiu helped Guangtong to put it on his right hand, and he grabbed the crossbow head with the thumb and palm of this hand, causing the golden wire to circle around his hand, and finally freed his left hand.
Throwing away the deerskin, Guangtong rubbed his fingers, fortunately it was just a red mark. Shen Muqiu quickly put soft iron gloves on his hand as well. Guangtong then wrapped the golden wire around his right hand in a circle, and after a while his right hand was wrapped with silk thread.
Shen Muqiu picked up the small gourd on the table and poured all the oil inside on the gold wire in Guangtong's hand, and the whole room was full of aroma in an instant.
Shen Muqiu was choked by this aroma and coughed, but Guangtong was not hindered, and said with a smile, "One moment is good, one moment is good." ”
While using his left hand to rub these "sesame oils" on the gold wire, GuangTong said, "This box master brother can't open, so he can only take care of you like this." After a while, I will leave you another bottle of oil, when you get it yourself, you must not be like the master brother, too dangerous! ”
As he spoke, he lowered the gold wire from his hand in a circle, and the gold wire was automatically put into the box, and finally only the sound of the bell was heard, and the crossbow head also bounced back.
Guang Tong took off his gloves, picked up the deerskin on the table, wiped the sword box up and down, closed it and put it to his ear and shook it, and finally handed it to Shen Muqiu with satisfaction and said, "Put it on." ”
Shen Muqiu stretched out his arm, heard a click, guangtong closed the sword box on Shen Muqiu's arm, smiled and said, "Okay! ”
Shen Muqiu took the half-eaten fruit in his mouth, put the silver ring on the silver ring on the middle finger of his right hand, his arm facing down, his fist loosened and tightened, and the sound of gears turning was heard from the sword box.
She nibbled the fruit tightly, stood up and straightened her robe, with her left hand behind her back, her right hand clenched in a fist, suddenly her forearm crossed to her chest, her palm facing her chest, her fist suddenly stretched out again, and the crossbow led the gold wire out of the sword box.
Poof, poof—"
The crossbow instantly pierced through the wall.
When he clenched his fist again, JinSi pulled the crossbow head back into the box.
"Good value for money" Shen Muqiu swallowed the last bite of fruit, lowered his arm and turned his arm twice, looking up at Guangtong and saying.
Guangtong did not pay attention to her, but pushed open the window and looked out, saying with anger: "You don't look at it, what if you hurt someone?" You see, the courtyard wall has also been punched by you. ”
It turned out that the crossbow that had just flown out had also pierced the courtyard wall outside.
"Rest assured, Brother Master, there is no one out there!" Shen Muqiu said easily, sat down and continued to eat the fruit.
Guangtong closed the window, turned around and said to Shen Muqiu with a serious face: "In the future, be careful, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, and there are strong hands in the strong!" ”
Shen Muqiu nodded her head disapprovingly, after all, she was still very confident in her ears.
Guangtong began to pack up his tools. "It's getting dark and I have to go down the hill." Nothing, I didn't go up the mountain anymore before the eighth grade. ”
Hearing Guangtong say that he was going down the mountain, Shen Muqiu was a little lost, and he didn't eat the fruit, silently watching his brother clean up his things.
At this time, the voices of the people outside the door came from far and near. "Look, hole!" It turned out that Guangping and Guang'an had returned.
"This is what Lord Shen did, right?" Guang'an said with a smile. Shen Muqiu watched the two come in and gave their hands to give gifts.
The two of them also waved their hands in return, and Guang'an said, "Lord Shen, you have carved a hole in the wall, how can the two of us sleep peacefully this night, are you going to freeze to death?" ”
Before Shen Muqiu could reply, Guangtong on the side smiled and said, "Well, the two brothers and sisters should go down the mountain with me to live!" At this hour, the mountain is bustling! ”
"Forget it!" Both of them waved their hands and said with a smile, "We are afraid of noise!"
Saying goodbye to the three Shi Li, Shen Muqiu followed Guangtong and sent him out of the courtyard all the way. Seeing guangtong walk away, she returned to the Ming Hall by herself.
When Shen Muqiu returned to the Ming Hall, Liu Bao had just finished dinner, and the table had not yet been closed. Seeing that she had returned, he called her over to eat, and he went back to his room to rest.
Chen Luosheng sniffled and asked with a smile, "Did you steal sesame oil?" Such a big smell on the body! ”
Shen Muqiu also ignored him and sat down to prepare for dinner.
"Stealing oil has caught people?" Chen Luosheng leaned over and sat down and asked with a hippie smile.
Shen Muqiu took the bowl and chopsticks handed by the attendant and nodded his head in thanks. She was already familiar with Chen Luosheng's jokes, and she didn't want to tangle with him more.
Shen Muqiu ate the rice intently, and after a while, he ate a large bowl of rice and drank half a pot of soup.
Chen Luosheng looked at it, grinned and shook his head, and kept nagging in his mouth: "You can really eat, there you are!" There are fewer rats in Mingtang. ”
After eating and drinking, Shen Muqiu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chen Luosheng and said, "I'll go to sleep for a while!" ”
"Yikes!" Chen Luosheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Sleep after eating?" ”
Shen Muqiu also ignored him, stood up and left.
"Alas!" Chen Luosheng shouted in a low voice behind him, "You better go and change your clothes first, and be careful to let the rats nibble you for a while." ”
Shen Muqiu went back to his room. She originally wanted to ask Chen Luosheng why his brother knocked on the mountain door to see him, but he refused to see him, but when she thought about the fried beans before, she gave up, maybe everyone has a knot in their hearts that can't be opened!
