Yuan Qingfeng said happily: "Brother Du, I'm thinking about how to measure the height of that huge waterwheel without using a huge ruler."
"Do you have any clues?"
Yuan Qingfeng shook his head.
Du He picked up a stick and stuck it on the ground. Under the sunlight, the stick left a short shadow.
Du He said: "The method is actually very simple. Look at the relationship between the stick and the shadow. What can you find? Think about it carefully and remember to tell me after you calculate it."
Du He didn't intend to tell Yuan Qingfeng the measurement method directly, but wanted to find something for this kid to do. Using his brain was better than sitting around every day.
After saying that, he got into the shop and went to find Lao Yuan.
Lao Yuan was yelling at several blacksmiths.
Du He patted Lao Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Lao Yuan, don't be angry. Go to the back and I'll show you something."
Lao Yuan said with a smile: "Let's see if you are worried or not?"
In the past few days, the story of Xu Zhengdao, the white-robed magic arrow, asking Bu Huitong to pay tribute has been widely circulated in the furniture factory, and even Lao Yuan has begun to imitate it.
Du He was speechless for a while.
This veteran seemed quite serious in the past, but he seems to have changed recently. I heard that he secretly went to Pingkangfang twice. It must be more than just playing mahjong.
He took Lao Yuan to the backyard and took out a drawing.
Yuan Tiangang took it and looked at it carefully, but he was confused.
"What is this?" Yuan Tiangang asked curiously.
What I saw on the drawing was the shape of a short knife, but it was more slender, the blade was narrower, and it actually had three sharp edges.
Du He pointed at the drawing and said: "This is a murder weapon, a three-edged military thorn. The three-sided blade you see is actually a three-edged sword. I happen to have a real one."
With that said, Du He took out the three-sided military thorn and demonstrated it himself.
Yuan Tiangang took a breath of air when he saw it.
"This...this is simply a murder weapon."
"That's right, now that Venomous Fang's brothers are out fighting, it's time to equip everyone with decent weapons. Lao Yuan, what do you think of this three-edged military thorn?" Du He asked.
"Okay, peerless magic weapon."
He grabbed the drawing and said, "Give me three days and I will build it for you."
"Three days? That's too long!"
"Two days... no, one and a half days, but I have a condition. You must leave the three-sided military thorn in your hand to me for study." Yuan Tiangang stared at the blue-gleaming three-sided military thorn in Du He's hand, his eyes wide.
It was a delicate object that he had never seen before. The three-sided blades shone coldly in the sun. One look at it made people tremble. Such a magical weapon would only be used by the top craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty.
It can't be built.
Du He smiled and said: "No problem. Lao Yuan, the three-sided military thorn is the top secret of the furniture factory. The fewer people know about it, the better. You first draw up a list of the craftsmen who participated in the creation of the three-sided military thorn and give it to Zhang Jian.
He checked it out, I don't want traitors to appear in our workshop."
Lao Yuan grabbed the triangular military thorn and shouted: "Whoever dares to leak it out, I will kill him first."
That look shocked Du He.
…
While Du He and Lao Yuan were discussing the three-sided military thorn in the workshop, a competition was going on on the martial arts field behind the furniture factory.
Reason for the competition: Zhang Wei has been attracted to Cheng Yiyue, the second-in-command of Venomous Fangs, for a long time. However, he showed his feelings many times, and either received a blank look from Cheng Yiyue, or was pushed to the ground and rubbed by Cheng Yiyue. Recently, Zhang Wei suddenly discovered that Xu Zhengdao
Gradually, he was no longer afraid of women, so he approached Cheng Yiyue every three days. After asking, he discovered that Xu Zhengdao had a secret affection for Cheng Yiyue, and the two were actually love rivals. After the two learned that the other party liked Cheng Yiyue, they were dissatisfied and made an appointment to perform martial arts.
Field competition.
Match referee: Lu Bu.
The result of the game: The winner can continue to get closer to Cheng Yiyue, and the loser can get as far away as possible.
The first round was a bare-handed fight, and Zhang Wei was defeated within twenty rounds.
Although this guy is said to be a magic arrow in white, with superhuman archery skills and outstanding light kung fu. He has always been weak in close combat, but he is good at light kung fu and has a flexible body.
In fact, Zhang Wei is not a martial arts master. He can survive today because of one word: ruthless.
When fighting, he will only move forward, not backward. Even if the enemy wants to exchange an arm with him, he will chop off the opponent's arm first without hesitation.
But without weapons in hand, Zhang Wei felt that he couldn't use all his strength, and was completely tortured by Xu Zhengdao.
The second game, archery.
Zhang Wei wiped his face and said: "Everyone knows that your archery skills are superb. Today, if you have the guts, don't shoot at the target. Let's see who can shoot farther."
"Don't regret it when the time comes." Xu Zhengdao said.
"bring it on!"
The two men raised their bows and nocked arrows at the same time, shooting arrows into the distance.
Whoosh.
The two arrows flew out at the same time.
Finally, visible to the naked eye, Xu Zhengdao's arrow flew farther.
Lu Bu stood up and said, "Xu Zhengdao wins the competition."
Snap.
The bow in Zhang Wei's hand fell to the ground.
He knelt down, held his head, and fell silent.
Xu Zhengdao looked proud and patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder: "Good brother, don't be discouraged. From now on, the little lady Cheng Yiyue belongs to me. I will take you to Deyuelou later and give you ten girls.
How about you experience how I felt back then?"
Lu Bu, who was standing next to him, glanced at Xu Zhengdao with disdain, suddenly took out his black stone bow, pulled the bow, and then let go.
call out.
An arrow flew into the air and disappeared.
Xu Zhengdao and Zhang Wei were so surprised that their mouths opened wide.
"Lu Bu...how strong are you!" Xu Zhengdao said in surprise.
Lu Bu clapped his hands and said: "Compared with the young master, it is far from enough. The young master can urinate eight feet away, and the little brother can break a tree pestle as thick as a bowl when he comes out. In the young master's words, you... are all scum."
!”
Xu Zhengdao: "..."
Zhang Wei: "..."
After a while, Zhang Wei said to Xu Zhengdao: "I'm willing to admit defeat. I hope you treat Yiyue well. I'm leaving."
Under the setting sun, looking at the departing figure, I feel a little lonely.
Xu Zhengdao felt a little uncomfortable and asked loudly: "Where are you going?"
"Goodbye Tubo!" Zhang Wei waved his hand.
Xu Zhengdao scratched his head: "Is this guy crazy? What about Tubo? Tubo is still thousands of miles away. Isn't it possible to turn into a bird and fly there?"
…
In the afternoon of the second day.
When Du He was reading in the room, there were sudden footsteps outside.
Then I heard Yuan Tiangang's joyful voice: "It's done, it's done..."
Du He's eyes lit up, he quickly got up and ran out of the room.
I saw Yuan Tiangang rushing towards this side with joy, holding two gleaming three-edged military thorns in his hands, waving them excitedly.
Seeing that Lao Yuan was about to approach, Du He shouted loudly and quickly jumped away.
When Yuan Tiangang came to the front, his feet slipped and he fell forward.
"Ouch……"
Lao Yuan screamed, and the three-edged military thorn in his hand stabbed into the pillar in front of him.
