The matter was simple, but not simple at all. At least it was a big deal for Fang Zian. It turned out that in the late afternoon, Qian Kang came from Su Heng's house to ask Fang Zian to go to Master Su Heng, because today all the parts of the steam engine were This has been manufactured and is about to undergo formal assembly operations.

Of course, the final assembly of the steam engine would not be possible without Fang Zian being present. Although Su Heng is a skilled master craftsman, this steam engine was designed by Fang Zian. Even Su Heng did not dare to be good at the final assembly. He also had to have Fang Zian present. Facilitate discussion of possible problems.

Qian Kang came to Fang's house to invite someone, so Chunni asked Lao Huang to go to the Yamen to report. However, Lao Huang ran to the Yamen, but did not find Fang Zian. She only knew that Fang Zian had gone to the city to inspect the patrol shop of the Anti-Japanese Army. This time , had no choice but to mobilize everyone in the mansion to search throughout the city. However, they searched all the patrol shops and defense army stations, but could not find Fang Zian.

The Fang Yujun inside Qiantang Gate said that Mr. Fang had been here in the morning and then left on horseback. This showed that Fang Zian was indeed patrolling the city. However, the soldiers in other places said that they had not seen Fang Zian, which made everyone She couldn't help but become worried. Chuni thought of the recent situation in the Yamen mentioned by Fang Zian, and she panicked. So, Lao Huang hurriedly went to Wanchun Garden to check, hoping to find Fang Zian at Qin Xiqing's place. But unfortunately Qin Xiqing was summoned by Prince Pu'an to go to the palace, but Lao Huang didn't see him at all. When he came back, he met Shen Ling'er who was rushing to Fang's house. Shen Ling'er was also panicked.

It was a mess up and down, and they had to look around like a headless fly. Shen Ling'er had even concluded that something might really have happened, and was ready to go to Xia Liangdong to settle the score. It was really a mess. At this moment , Fang Zian is finally back.

After hearing the news, Qian Kang, Chunni, Shen Ling'er and others came out and saw that Fang Zian was safe and sound. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Chunni almost cried.

Fang Zian frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? It can't be like this. If you can't find me, you won't be so nervous."

Qian Kang rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Zian, you said it so lightly, but everyone is worried to death. You didn't say anything where you went, and you couldn't be found in the whole city, so we would be worried. If it weren't for If I have a holiday with the two young bastards and grandsons of the Qin family, I won’t be so worried."

Fang Zian sighed and said, "Well, you're right. I made you worry. I'm sorry, everyone. Chuni, stop crying, it's my fault."

Chuni choked up and said, "I'm scared to death and have a lot of random thoughts. If something happens to you, I won't be able to survive."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "Stop thinking wildly, you just like to think wildly. It's a false alarm, okay, okay. Go back and rest. I have to go to Master Su's place."

Chunni wiped away tears and nodded.

Fang Zian turned around and saw Shen Ling'er standing aside, fully armed with a weapon in his hand, and frowned: "Miss Ling'er, what kind of song are you singing?"

Shen Ling'er whispered: "It's nothing. I thought it was Xia Liangdong's boy who was causing trouble, and I planned to go find trouble with him. If something happens to the young master, it will be Ling'er's dereliction of duty. I will never spare Xia Liangdong, and I will have to chop off his head."

Fang Zian said: "I'm really convinced. I haven't taken off my weapon yet. Are you going to walk through the city with a knife? Don't cause any trouble for me."

Shen Ling'er said: "Since the young master is back, I won't bother him anymore. I will keep the weapons."

After saying that, Shen Ling'er turned around and ran to the back house, returning the weapon to her residence. Fang Zian rolled his eyes to the sky,

After comforting Chunni for a few words, she turned around and went out with Qian Kang to get on the horse. While waiting for Shen Ling'er to come out, she saw another carriage speeding up and stopping at the door. However, it was Qin Xiqing who learned the news after returning from the palace and hurriedly hurried arrive.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Qin Xiqing got out of the car with an anxious face and asked, "Isn't Zian here?"

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and stepped forward to explain. Qin Xiqing couldn't help but laugh and said: "I see, this is really a big misunderstanding. Hey, I happened to be invited by Mr. Shi to see the prince, and I didn't know about it. Otherwise, I didn't know about it. , I do know your whereabouts, so everyone doesn’t need to be so panicked."

Qian Kang said: "Does Miss Qin know the whereabouts of Brother Zian?"

Qin Xiqing glanced at Fang Zian and said, "You know, didn't he go to visit a friend? He told me yesterday. There is a classmate and friend who lives in the city, and he said he went to visit today."

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "Yes, yes."

Qian Kangdao: "Classmate friend? Who is that? Brother Zian's classmate friend, isn't that also my classmate friend? As far as I know, brother Zian has no other friends in the academy except me and Chang Lin. Could it be? Is Changlin in Lin'an? No, he's only been away for half a month, how could he be back?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "You are talking as if I am so unpopular that I have no friends except you? Don't ask, let's go to Su's house quickly. Master Su is probably very angry from waiting." "Is there anything wrong, Xiqing? If nothing happens, come with me. Witnessing a miraculous moment is rare."

Qin Xiqing said: "Of course I want to go."

Fang Zian said: "Then let's go, hurry up."

Qin Xiqing rolled her eyes at Fang Zian, beckoned Fang Zian to come closer, avoided Qian Kang and handed over a brocade handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Rub your neck, there are lipstick marks there, it would be bad for others to see it. "

Fang Zian was stunned. Qin Xiqing had already turned around and got into the car. Fang Zian wiped his neck with a white handkerchief. When he held it in front of his eyes, he saw that there was indeed a faint red rouge mark. Naturally, it was left from his intimacy with Shi Ningyue before leaving. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't let Qian Kang and Chunni know that he went to spend a day with Shi Ningyue, not for other reasons, but because he made them look for him in such fear, while he was with Shi Ningyue. The moon is condensed, chanted in the wind and played with the moon, I am afraid they will all faint from anger.

…

In Master Su Heng's backyard, Master Su, who had been waiting all afternoon, finally saw Fang Zian and others. Naturally, he did not hide his dissatisfaction. Fang Zian smiled and made some self-criticism, and Su Heng seemed to be used to it. Fang Zian looked careless, so he only complained a few times.

When everyone came to the straw shed, everything was ready. All the large and small parts that had been cast, forged, and ground were placed on the dry straw mat, with thousands of them in sight. Apparently Su Heng had already done this before. After some sorting, everything is ready and all we need is the east wind.

"Master Su, shall we start now?" Fang Zian asked.

Su Heng said angrily: "Isn't it better to choose a better day?"

Fang Zian said: "Should you take the lead, or should I take the lead?"

Su Hengdao: "Of course you arrange it, I am responsible for the operation, and you are responsible for the overall planning."

Fang Zian nodded, slowly took off his robe, revealing his strong upper body. He waved his fist and said, "Okay, then I will do my part. All processes will be arranged by me, and Master Su will be responsible for the final assembly. Everyone, let's get started. .”

Su Heng said in a deep voice: "Everyone

Brothers, get ready."

More than a dozen craftsmen agreed in unison and began to take off their shirts, revealing their strong bodies. Qin Xiqing blushed next to her, but she soon calmed down. She realized that this was to make it easier to do things, but not This is done on purpose.

But I heard Fang Zian say loudly: "The first thing is to make preparations. Prepare a dozen lanterns. This cannot be done in a short time. I'm afraid it will take a whole night. The lighting must be guaranteed. Are you ready?"

"It has been prepared for a long time. The lanterns have been bought and a hundred white candles have been prepared. Mr. Fang has taken a look." Su Heng pointed at the large pile of things on the table outside the hut.

Fang Zian took a look and nodded: "Okay. Prepare tea and dry food. I don't have time to eat dinner, so I can only satisfy my hunger temporarily."

Su Hengdao: "Don't worry, I've already asked my wife to prepare snacks and tea."

Fang Zian nodded and said: "Okay. Prepare the drawings. Take out the assembly drawings and exploded drawings I drew for the master and check them at any time."

Su Lei raised his hand and shouted: "Brother Fang, they are all here with me. I will bring them all and hang them aside right away."

"Very good. Are the iron rope hook pulleys ready? Are the binding ropes ready? They need tough silk ropes that cannot damage the parts. There are also lubricating oil, twisting rods, cowhide felt, and various lifting tools. I designed them. Are all those wrenches ready?" Fang Zian asked a series of questions. Su Heng and others had already prepared all these things, and Fang Zian checked them one by one, very carefully.

From the perspective of Su Heng and others, they did not find Fang Zian to be cumbersome at all. Instead, they felt that Fang Zian was a knowledgeable person because of these inquiries. These are all necessary things. Fang Zian is not a craftsman, but he actually knows them all. He is so careful that he even knows to use extremely flexible silk ropes that will not damage the parts when lifting the parts, which shows that he is not an expert.

"Okay, thank you Master Su and everyone for being so well prepared. Now, for the last item before assembling, I will click on each part and arrange it by number. When assembling, you only need to call out the number, no need to call out What parts, because it will be easy to get confused. After all, many parts have similar shapes, and they may not be identifiable. It is important to identify the numbers in advance." Fang Zian said solemnly.

Su Heng glanced at Fang Zian and thought: I won't get confused. But he still nodded and said: "That's absolutely true. That's what we'll do."

Of course Su Heng knew that he would not make mistakes, but he could not guarantee that others would not make mistakes. Moreover, after continuous assembly, at night, people would be tired and confused, and it was difficult to admit their mistakes. Although it was a little more troublesome at this moment, it was an extremely smart method. Guaranteed to never go wrong.

Fang Zian followed the drawings and counted the components one by one loudly in order from the boiler to the cylinder to the output lever gear. Su Heng took the people to find them one by one and marked and numbered them in order. A total of various large and small items were counted. There are more than two thousand kinds of accessories and parts. Although some of them are duplicates and have the same size and shape, they are still numbered. By the time the inventory was completed, it was already dark.

The lanterns were quickly hung up, and the ten lanterns illuminated the hut extremely brightly. Under the bright lights, the final assembly officially began.

At this moment, the lanterns in Lin'an City were just starting to light up, and men and women were wandering in the streets, eating, drinking, joking, hanging out, and so on. They would never realize that in a yard in the northwest of the city, a group of people were sweating and having sex.
