After turning a corner, they entered a narrow alley. Following the alley to the end, Yang Kailuo pointed to a small courtyard and said, this is the home of the craftsman.
Xiao Han looked up and looked around, and found that this place should be close to the outer edge of Zhuangzi. There were no people around, just a small courtyard alone, and beyond that, there was a large area of farmland.
Looking at each other and Xue Pan, both of them could see that Yang Kailue must have had other thoughts at the beginning, so he placed him in such a remote place.
"Let's go and have a look." Xiao Han said, taking the lead to step forward, but stopped after taking a few steps, because although this small courtyard has obvious signs of renovation, its construction must have taken a long time, and it is definitely not
A new house about a year old.
Yang Kai, who was half a body behind Xiao Han, took a closer look at Xiao Han's words and noticed something strange about Xiao Han. He quickly stepped forward to explain: "Master Hou, this used to be the house of my nephew. Later, they moved their family to another place, so this place became idle. I think it will be idle anyway."
I had nothing to do, so I asked the craftsman to tidy it up, but he didn’t mind it, so he just lived there.”
"Oh..." Xiao Han nodded clearly and removed his guard. There was no way, too many things had happened recently, and he couldn't help but be careless.
"We want to go in and take a look?" Xue Pan asked Xiao Han and reached out to knock on the door.
Yang Kai saw this and quickly stepped forward to do the work for him. At the same time, he reminded in a low voice: "Master Hou, Miss, this old man is a bit withdrawn and seldom walks around with people in the village. Please be careful later and don't get angry by him."
With…”
"Haha, don't worry, you won't be angry with me!" Xiao Han looked at the wooden door and smiled indifferently.
Yang Kai breathed a sigh of relief and was about to open the door, but then he heard Xiao Han say again: "How dare you make me angry and demolish his house immediately!"
"Uh..." Yang Kai stumbled slightly, a big bead of sweat dripping from his bare forehead.
No need to ask for permission from the owner, just kick in the door and enter the hospital!
What about visiting the thatched cottage three times? It doesn’t exist! Because Xiao Han is determined, a real outsider will not be captured by Yang Guang to build ships! Just like Sun Simiao, Yang Guang invited him several times, but he didn’t go! This is what he said
A true master.
Like wild boars, Xiao Han entered the small courtyard, but Xiao Han found that it was quiet inside. No one scolded them for coming uninvited, as if there was no one there in the first place.
"No one is here?" Xiao Han looked at Yang Kailue strangely.
Yang Kailue quickly handed over his hand: "My servant just said that someone else is at home!"
"Huh?" Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and was not in a hurry to shout to the master. Instead, he leisurely crossed his arms and looked towards the small courtyard.
The small courtyard of the farmhouse is not big, but there is a sycamore tree planted in the middle of the courtyard in front of me. The tree is not tall and weak, and its wide leaves are hanging down.
"There is a tree in the courtyard, this is a difficult word!" Xiao Han looked at the sycamore tree and said slowly.
"Who said there was a tree? Didn't you see there was another one in the corner?!"
As soon as Xiao Han finished speaking, a voice came out from the room with the door tightly closed. There was a hint of disgust in the slightly old voice.
"Corner?" Xiao Han and others subconsciously looked into the corner when they heard the voice.
In the corner of the wall, a grape plant that was even more pitiful than the sycamore tree crawled up the wall. Its leaves were also unhealthy and goose-yellow. Under the leaves, there were bunches of dry flat grapes with at most little fingernails hanging on them.
On the grape branch.
"Tsk, tsk... I'm a bit arrogant!" He stared at the grapevine with his mouth open. If this can be considered a tree, then the planting skills of the owner of the house are definitely not very high!
Even the things in his own yard can be grown like this, and he has not starved to death until now. It seems that Yang Kailue has left him a lot of wealth.
"This guy definitely doesn't farm. If he does, he won't be able to get back the seed money!"
Just when Xiao Han was sighing secretly, the voice in the room once again came out faintly: "I'm sorry for being rude, but some of you took a wrong path here. Noble people don't want to get involved in lowly places, so please leave on your own."
The master said it was rude, but no matter what I heard, he had no intention of changing it!
Yang Kai looked at Xiao Han's face carefully, and after noticing that there was no obvious change, he quickly raised his chest and shouted angrily toward the room: "Old fool! Are you crazy? Do you know who is standing outside?!"
"Oh? Who is it? Want to scare the old man? I have even met the Emperor Yang Guang more than once. Is this who is greater than the Emperor?"
"You..." Yang Kai was trembling with anger, feeling very regretful!
This old man has lived here for a long time. Although he is not gregarious on weekdays, he doesn't seem too out of the ordinary.
But I didn't expect that he would mess up at this important time! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have brought the Marquis here. It would be hard for someone to take his anger out on me next time, and the relationship that was finally built up would be destroyed in one day.
Yang Kai was furious, but Xiao Han wandered around the courtyard like a normal person.
Craftsmen, all those who engage in technology have such a bad temper! If you just flatter yourself, you won't be able to do well in technology! He has dealt with craftsmen a lot, and he has long stopped paying attention to this trivial matter. Besides, he just opens his mouth and talks about it.
Yang Guang pointed out that this didn't look like a recluse, but rather like a merchant who was asking for high prices and sitting on the floor to pay back the money.
After waving his hand to Yang Kai and telling him not to speak, Xiao Han started walking in the small courtyard, but I didn't reply. I'm so worried about you!
Except for a plane tree and a grape vine, the remaining furnishings in the small courtyard are extremely simple.
There is a windlass well, a small piece of land that has been planted with unknown crops, and a small mazar.
"Huh? This thing is available now?"
Xiao Han let out a light sigh. Not to mention, this was the first time he had seen a maza in the Tang Dynasty. Its shape was basically the same as that of later generations. At first glance, Xiao Han had a trancelike feeling that time and space were confused.
"Hey, old man, who made this maza?" Picking up the maza, Xiao Han shook it in the direction of the house, knowing that people inside would definitely be able to see it.
"Hmph, I did it!" The person inside was probably not satisfied with Xiao Han's title, so he snorted before replying.
Xiao Han didn't care. He looked through it a few times and put it on the ground. Then he sat down on it, twisted it a few times and said, "You did a good job. This craftsmanship is just a little bit worse than that of my servants."
"
Quiet……
But soon, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the wooden door of the house suddenly opened, which almost startled Xiao Han!
Immediately afterwards, an old man wearing linen clothes and with obviously thick arms walked out of the room slowly!
Standing at the door of the house, the old man had an angry look on his face! A pair of dazzling eyes scanned the people in the yard one by one, and finally fell on Xiao Han: "Where did this ignorant kid dare to bark randomly? You said
Tell me, what is it about this old man’s craftsmanship that is inferior to that of your servants? I can’t tell, huh..."
Xiao Han looked the old man up and down, not angry at all, but rather feeling a little proud that his conspiracy had succeeded.
This is a common problem among craftsmen. They don't want to hear others being better than themselves! Although this old man is a shipbuilder, those who can build ships now are definitely the best carpenters. Naturally, Xiao Han can't bear to compare him with an ordinary servant. The key is
Better than losing!
