The three of them carried two large boxes and returned to the courtyard. The old man sat on a bench and silently watched them unloading the car and moving the boxes, but he remained silent and for the first time did not mention anything about money.
The three of them were also sensible and put the unsold swords and the money in Yan Bing's room. Afterwards, the two senior brothers went to the kitchen to cook, leaving Yan Bing to talk to the old man and explore.
Exploring the wind.
Yan Bing had no choice but to nod silently and accepted this heavy task.
Looking back, looking at the old man who was silent and crying in his heart, Yan Bing didn't know how to persuade him for a moment. He could only move a bench and put it in front of the old man, sit down and beat his legs to express his "sympathy".
and "care".
The old man looked at Yan Bing with a wry smile and said: "Okay, no need. Instead of doing this, you might as well save some energy and save some swords that can be made with hundreds of steels for your master. That's how you can really cure your master."
"Root of disease".
"You mean what you said, even if the master is not sad, the apprentice can't give the master a slap on his legs?" Yan Bing smiled and tried his best to maintain a well-behaved posture.
"Um, um, okay." The old man didn't say anything more. He leaned back and looked up at the sunset... He always felt that the clouds in the sky looked like his own "swords".
When you close your eyes, you can see nothing and feel nothing.
In the blink of an eye, after another feast, Feng Chen, Lu Liang, and Yan Bing spent just one night laying the floor tiles in the underground secret room, painting the walls, and opening a few more doors.
With a ventilated secret passage and several secret doors for easy entry and exit, the basic scale of the secret room has been completed and is just waiting for the pillars. Logically speaking, tomorrow is the third day. If it doesn't arrive today, it should arrive tomorrow.
So, the three of them had nothing to do, so they said goodbye to each other and went back to their houses to sleep.
Early the next morning, it was time to practice martial arts again. The three of them met in the yard, exchanged greetings, and began to practice martial arts separately.
Although Yan Bing had not learned any new skills at this time, even if she knew how to control a sword, the old man strictly prohibited her from using it outside, so she could only continue to practice her Qingxia Sword, just to consolidate her foundation.
Already.
It seems that the old man has not overcome the pain of losing his sword. He has been staying in the room and never came out to drink tea.
Yan Bing looked at the empty chairs and could only sigh. He was alone in the yard, focusing on practicing his sword.
It wasn't until the guys delivering the fir trees came to the door that Yan Bing sheathed his sword and came out to agree.
After a lot of effort, several of the guys piled up the fir wood pillars in the backyard. They took the coins Yan Bing rewarded and left gratefully.
Then, Yan Bing found a wood saw and started sawing the pillars according to the previous dimensions.
After sawing, Yan Bing carried down the secret room one by one, and relied on his own brute strength to erect them one by one according to the drawings. The whole process went smoothly, and it didn't look like building a house, but more like building a house.
Building blocks is generally easy.
Finally, the stone plate was polished according to the size and made into the base of the wooden pillar. He held up the pillar with one hand and pushed the stone plate onto it with the other hand. He moved lightly and freely. If a normal person watched this scene, he would probably pee his pants.
When she started applying tung oil to a few pillars, it happened that her senior brother and Lu Liang had also returned from martial arts practice. Yan Bing breathed a sigh of relief, because she could only paint to a height of 1.6 meters at most.
I can only jump and brush, and if I'm not careful, my head will hit the lost roof. At this moment, I quickly call my senior brother, sit on his neck, and start brushing.
When it was completely finished, Lu Liang happened to have prepared food and called them to eat.
Yan Bing picked up the bowls and chopsticks and said to Lu Liang while eating: "Fifteenth senior brother, senior brother and I will sell swords in the afternoon, so you don't have to go."
Lu Liang looked puzzled and asked: "Why is this?"
Yan Bing swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly: "Brother Fifteen, your top priority this afternoon is to dismantle the stove and move the entire kitchen into the secret room in the backyard, and then set it up.
Use a room as a kitchen."
Lu Liang was even more puzzled and asked: "Why is this?"
The eldest brother impatiently tapped the bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Have you forgotten what master said? Just do it. Why are there so many?"
Yan Bing smiled at his senior brother, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and explained to his fifteenth senior brother: "Do you still remember that I made a passage in that room and covered it with an iron plate?"
Lu Liang nodded.
Yan Bing smiled and continued to explain: "Remove the iron plate, which is the flue that leads directly to the secret room. I will build a sword-making blast furnace directly under the stove. The kitchen and blast furnace will share the same flue to hide it from others.
.”
Lu Liang suddenly realized, raised his thumb and said, "Junior sister is really smart, this is a great idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the old man exhale through his nose and let out a "hum".
Lu Liang looked at the old man in confusion, he praised his junior sister, why is the master so angry?
"This idea came from Master." Yan Bing hurriedly explained, and then quickly picked up a piece of fat and thin pork belly, brought it to Master's bowl, and continued: "Master has a profound thought, and we deeply admire it. Come on, Master
, eat meat.”
The old man then "hummed" again, but this time his tone was obviously different and slightly proud.
Lu Liang, whose brain was slow for several beats, finally realized what he was doing. He was just about to join in the flattery, but before he opened his mouth, he heard the old man say: "Okay, don't bother with your brain, let's eat."
The senior brother snorted, laughing so hard that several grains of rice went into his nose. He hurriedly went to the wall and blew his nose for a long time.
Lu Liang blushed with embarrassment and lowered his head to eat.
In the afternoon, while the old man was taking a nap, Yan Bing finished explaining the specific details to his fifteenth senior brother, and then he and his senior brother went out pushing a box of swords.
When we arrived at the busy market yesterday, it was already crowded with people, rubbing shoulders with each other, and the whole street was blocked.
It was obvious that there were more people wearing brocade and jade clothes than yesterday. Basically, everyone brought a lot of servants with them. As a result, the people watching the excitement were directly pushed to the outermost edge by this group of servants, and there was just room in the middle.
Create a passage large enough for trucks to pass through.
Yan Bing sat in the car, smiling at each other with his senior brother.
It seems that they will be sold out very quickly today.
The fact is just as Yan Bing and Feng Chen expected, most of the wealthy businessmen who came this time were prepared in advance and brought enough banknotes. They bought as soon as they saw it and left after buying it. No one bothered to say anything.
However, several people clearly took out a pile of banknotes, but only bought five at most. When they left, they still looked reluctant to leave and kept staring at the box.
Yan Bing thought about it for a moment and finally understood.
After all, those who came today are all well-known people. These people must all know each other and have discussed the purchasing rules in advance, so that such a uniform situation can occur.
Despite this, before reaching the end of the street, the less than a hundred swords left were sold out. At this time, the box was only half filled with banknotes.
When Yan Bing stood on the roof of the car and shouted: "All sold out".
There were also a few wealthy businessmen standing at the end. Because they didn't buy a handful, they sighed and left the crowd.
At this time, Yan Bing and his senior brother were considered to have completed their merits, so they pushed the cart and began to walk back.
When passing by a roadside toilet, the senior brother suddenly blushed and said: "Junior sister, there are three urgent needs, but I can bear it all the way..., I..."
Yan Bing didn't wait for him to finish, and said quickly: "I understand, go quickly, senior brother."
"No, I just want to ask you, did you bring toilet chips?" The senior brother seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable, and said while crossing his legs.
"Who has nothing to do with that thing? Dirty..." Yan Bing was speechless for a while, then he looked around on the ground and saw a few leaves and two branches. He quickly picked them up and patted his senior brother's hand, saying:
"Use it sparingly, don't tear it."
The eldest brother was in unbearable abdominal pain at the moment, so he was not in the mood to talk. He just rolled his eyes at Yan Bing and rushed into the toilet.
As for Li Bing, he pushed the cart a few steps further and made sure that he could no longer smell the smell of the toilet. Then he got on the cart, sat on the wooden box, and looked around.
At the same time, in a dark alley across the street...
"That man went to the toilet! If you want to take action, do it now." A pair of red eyes were staring at Yan Bing, who was sitting in the car.
"That's right, what a great opportunity, boss!" A short bald man with two big front teeth agreed.
A pair of triangular eyes kept looking up and down.
"Old rules, get ready! Come on!" The "red-eyed thief" who spoke at the beginning said towards the alley behind him.
After a moment, a pair of petite feet slowly stepped out from the shadow of the alley, and a petite girl walked out.
The rays of sunlight, following her footsteps, slowly illuminated the girl's body from bottom to top.
The first thing that caught the eye was a light green dress, a white belt, and a brown palace ribbon, wrapped around her palm-width thin waist, and her pointed and upturned chin was red.
thin lips, a straight bridge of nose, and a pair of big and bright
Bright peach blossom eyes, paired with a pair of slightly curved willow eyebrows, make her whole face look a little naughty and a little cute. Her long hair reaches her waist and a red silk headband. She is clearly a
The appearance and temperament are not inferior to Yan Bing's girl at all.
At this moment, I saw this girl walking to the entrance of the alley, turned to wink at the two of them, and then strode towards Yan Bing's direction...
