I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 300
Wang Ge wants to chisel the wood into a "concave" shape, which is the module of the crenel of the city wall.The crenels are not only beneficial for the defenders to observe the enemy's situation and counterattack, but also for the attackers to climb and attack.

The chips that were chiseled off were all swept down by her to the bottom of the tool stool about one step away.The slightly rough movements did not scare Qin Ji away. He tilted his head forward, staring at the pieces of wood falling intermittently, and suddenly called out a word: "Wood."

Wang Ge stopped carving wood.Is this bird so smart that it can match the learned human words with utensils?

Qin Ji tilted his head and looked at her.No, it was looking at the block in her hand.Wang Ge pushed the "concave"-shaped wood to the side of the stool and fell to the ground.

Qin Ji straightened his posture.

Wang Ge waited for two breaths.

"Wood."

It doesn't seem to be fake.She got up, went to the sundry house to bring some dry firewood and hemp rope out, sat back to the original place, then took out the uneaten eggs from the cloth bag, broke off half of the egg whites and stuffed them into her mouth, deliberately waiting for Qin Ji to find out that she was eating food After moving, crush a little egg yolk and sprinkle it next to the firewood.

Next, she ignored the bird and began to chop firewood and tie it with hemp rope to make a bird cage.

After a while, Qin Ji jumped to the edge of the spilled egg yolk and picked a couple of mouths.

Wang Ge observed from the corner of his eye: I am so vigilant.

She let go of the sticks and rope, and the bottom of the birdcage had already been tied into shape. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and gave up.Go back to the tool bench and pick up a new wood-carved birdcage module.

Qin Ji pecked at some egg yolk crumbs, and looked at Wang Ge while swallowing.

It is easy to chisel out only the shape of the birdcage, solid ones are fine, use a carving knife to draw vertical lines, and fill each vertical seam with mud to create the illusion of a cage fence in sight.

OK.Wang Ge rubbed the fake cage, which was only half the size of a palm, to the ground. Qin Ji was startled, then flew back in fright, "Don't scare me, don't go into the cage. Speak well, don't go into the cage."

Sure enough, it was not feasible to try to trap the bird in a cage.

At the beginning of noon, when Mrs. Zou came back, Qin Ji had already flown away.

Wang Ge explained the situation in detail, and Mrs. Zou thought about it: "There have always been rumors that this bird was used to deliver messages, but the rumors also said that this bird was driven to deliver messages because of 'urgency', so it was named 'Qin Ji' '. No matter how smart Qin Ji is, he is still a bird. The most powerful... is the human who domesticated it."

"Feeding?"

"Yes. Most of them are slaves of aristocratic families. They specialize in taming animals and poultry for their masters. They are called human feeders. According to what you said, this Qin Ji knows how to see wood and will avoid cage-like utensils, which proves that domestication Its people specially taught it to distinguish these. If it found our courtyard twice, it must have flown into the county office more than twice."

"I don't believe that I am so special that I will attract the same bird to come to me twice." Wang Ge was puzzled: "Does it only look for me, or it can look for people related to 'wood'? Then the next step, What does its owner want to do, what can he infer from this bird?"

"That's right. You are the only carpenter living in the county office recently, and you are the only one who makes wood in the courtyard. But this matter...is not a secret, even the carpenters at the Jingzhe Carpentry Shop know that you live in the county office. Lady Zou shook her head, "Even if a poultry is good at learning words, so what? Besides, you are cautious and didn't say anything to this poultry."

Wang Ge: "Even if you want to kill me, how can I kill a Qin Ji?"

Not right time.

When Liu Qing and Duan Yongfu returned to the city, they didn't show any curiosity when they saw crowds clustered around the city wall.This situation is common, either there is a new state and county craftsman competition, or the government employs a large number of tenants.

The two of them didn't bother to eat lunch. At the door of many houses in the restaurant street, Qin Jilao was in the birdcage instead of the businessman, vying to shout.

"Stew meat. It's delicious, but it's not good."

"You can't get in. You can't get in without money."

"What are you looking at? What about you?"

Liu Qing could tell that Duan Yongfu liked this kind of poultry very much.The other party laughed from the street to the end of the street, and sighed: "Oh, a businessman can do business. People scold me, I get angry, and I am scolded by birds, haha, the more fiercely it scolds, the more rare it is."

"Because Brother Duan knows that Qin Ji is innocent, they imitate the thoughts of the master. Of course, there are also influences from talkative passers-by."

Duan Yongfu nodded vigorously: "You have studied, but your speech is different. That's exactly what I think."

The two looked at the sky at the same time, and a Qin Ji flew across the roof.

midnight.

It may be because of the continuous chiseling of mortise and tenon blocks, Wang Ge was involved in the long-lost nightmare.

Boom, boom... The sound of the drum repeatedly broke through the dusty fog and opened a narrow path for her.She tried not to move forward, but she couldn't, and soon felt the weightlessness of falling from a height, and she had to drag her steps.

Gradually, the sound of the drum was mixed with the sound of the wooden hammer of "Du Du", which enveloped the sky from below. She raised her head and saw a pair of giant hands pinched down on the left and right sides of the midair.

Hold the tenon in one hand and the tenon and groove in the other.

The voice of the void landed with the giant hand: "Southbound, can they be joined together? Or are they just separated?"

Wang Ge: "They are not the same structure, how can they fit together?"

"Take out your knife and it will close."

Wang Ge found that Ju's men were free, and she should be able to go there, so he tried to move forward.

"Xingnan, where is your knife?"

The voice of the giant hand kept saying, "Xingnan, who do you think I am?"

"Southbound..."

Wang Ge was disturbed, and turned around and shouted: "You are Lin Xia! Lin Xia, Lin Xia!"

The giant hand dissipated into gray mist, and the mist turned upside down around her like pages of a book.

Suddenly, her vision clarified!The front was blocked by a wall, and a square pavilion with black lines was drawn on the wall, and a drum was erected in the pavilion.

"what."

Wang Ge shook his head, his throat finally let out a sound, and he really woke up.

The clarification in her dream was the candle held by Mrs. Zou.

The lady also asked her worriedly: "What kind of nightmare did you have? It scares you. It's all talking in your sleep."

Wang Ge looked at Mrs. Nan along with the snoring, but luckily, they didn't wake them up.

"Did I talk in my sleep?" She wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Mrs. Zou: "Don't worry, it's vague, we can't hear it at all, and I'm about to shake you up, but fortunately you woke up by yourself."

The lady: "Yes. I just heard the phrase 'dead horse', did you dream that Bai Rong kicked you?"

"Ah?" Wang Ge was surprised, did she dream of Bai Rong?Maybe it's a real dream. In a dream, it's normal to be confused.

August thirteenth.

The fourth day of Wang Ge Xiumu.

Mrs. Zou went to the market. In fact, she came out for a short time yesterday evening. She didn't encounter anything unusual, and brother didn't come to look for her.Did she and Age think too much?
She didn't know that when she left the county office, Duan Gong and Cao Shi brought a little girl to Wang Ge's office.

"Enter the house." Mrs. Duan didn't say a single unnecessary word.

"Yes." Wang Ge didn't ask any nonsense.

After the door was closed, the little girl sat on Wang Ge's tool stool and carved wood with a knife, looking decent.

A moment passed, and a strange voice sounded in the courtyard: "Don't scare me."

It's that Qin Ji!

Wang Ge clenched his fist, Xue Duan's lady remained motionless, maintaining a calm breath.The room was dark and quiet, and the voices in the courtyard could be heard more clearly.
