mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 209

Seeing Li Zhitao and Chuishuiju being beaten, the rest were not surprised even though they watched the excitement.

People who have been repaired by Zhao Zhongyi are like crucian carp crossing the river, how old are they?

The two struggled to get up, and when they looked at Zhao Zhongyi again, they flinched a little.

They have never seen this kind of tactic, and it is extremely efficient to go straight to it.

Look around, there are all ruthless people here!

Li Zhitao saw Zhao Zhongyi's face clearly, and remembered that Zhao Chuanxin called "brother" yesterday.

Who is Zhao Chuanxin?
Opening your mouth will make you doubt the Lord of life. If he can treat a person politely, this person is very remarkable.

Quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It was my mistake."

After finishing speaking, he went to help the water pony in a desperate manner.

Zhao Zhongyi picked up the wattle on the ground: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The Qing court is corrupt, but it cannot represent China. As a part of the Chinese people, you must not say such irresponsible words in the future. Don't say it in front of me."

With great power comes great responsibility.Having come to this position, Zhao Zhongyi couldn't tolerate living for Xiaojia like before.

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

After Zhao Zhongyi left, Zhang Daquan, who had been watching the show all the time, stepped forward again with a simple and honest face: "Both of you tidy up, the next training is about to begin."

Blowing Water Ju touched his painful chest: "Company Commander Zhang, who is that man? Such a sharp skill!"

"He is the battalion commander of the insurance team, Zhao Zhongyi. His fists and feet are invincible at least in Lugang Town. If he uses a big gun, it is estimated that both of you will die. At the beginning, the salary and him were still valuable. The three of us Armed with knives, guns and cold weapons, he wiped out a group of gangsters who were armed with live ammunition. Zhongyi, with a big gun, picked and killed three people in a blink of an eye."

There is such a past?
No wonder Zhao Sheng is lawless, he dared to fight with guns when he didn't have one, and he would poke a hole if he had one.

Next is cold weapon training, majoring in knives and axes.

Holding the bayonet, Li Zhitao kept stabbing the marked vital points on the straw man.

The right liver and the left spleen under the breast, the diaphragm of the heart, the carotid artery of the heart, the upper, middle and lower abdomen, the large tendons of the wrist and ankle joints... If you want to prick or pick, if you don't play empty, you will die or you will lose your combat effectiveness.

Zhang Daquan pointed out from the side, and said: "If you can't let the enemy die, then you have to die. There is no chance to fight for [-] rounds. Unless you can pass the salary, the guns and ammunition have unlimited firepower."

Blowing Water Ju was stunned: "Why does Zhao Sheng have unlimited firepower?"

Zhang Daquan took it for granted: "He is a mage and knows magic spells, will you also?"

"Ah this..."

The palms of the two practiced were swollen and numb, and they almost lost consciousness.

After being taught a lesson, he dared not complain any more.

Other people's scarecrows, only the thorns get deeper and deeper.But their scarecrow is full of holes, this is the gap.

There was also an insurance team conducting actual combat training. The two each held a black limp knife and stabbed each other.

Whoever stabs first scores.

While taking a break to drink water, Chuishuiju asked, "Company Commander Zhang, why is the thing they use soft?"

"That's called a rubber knife. It's an industrial product shaped by a machine. It's naturally soft. I don't know much about the ones brought back from abroad."

Liu Yonghe was also in the sparring, he repeatedly stabbed five players, and only in the sixth did he lose due to exhaustion.

Regardless of just a simple stab, the control of strength and speed, as well as the timing, all require a lot of physical and mental effort.

He walked this way while wiping his sweat: "Daquan, who are these two?"

A brief introduction.

Liu Yonghe heard that these two people, like him, were not members of Lugang Town, so they had a friendly chat.

Blowing Water Ju complimented: "Your bayonet skills are very good, those on Hong Kong Island can't beat you."

"Hehe, am I really good?" Liu Yonghe smiled: "Here, there are at least seven or eight people whose bayonet skills are better than mine. The most powerful is Gao Li, who is invincible with a bayonet, even Commander Zhao. However, in terms of marksmanship, I can rank third!"

Li Zhitao asked in surprise: "Who are the other two?"

"The first is to pass the salary! After 300 meters, it looks like a big fist. But the pass can hit the target 600 meters away. I suspect that there are better guns, and he can hit farther! The second is that Squinting eyes, his name is Er Fatty, even though his eyes are small, he has divine light and the ability to walk through Yang with a hundred steps!"

After all, there are fierce tigers hidden in the deep mountains, and the sea must accept the trickle.

Li Zhitao thought of the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Xiaoxiaolugang Town, compared with them, the two of them felt very small.

Live ammunition training in the afternoon, the two had a gun addiction.

The Lugang Town Insurance Team was able to practice guns regardless of the cost of ammunition, which made the two speechless.

It's not bullets, it's money!

The following obstacle shooting training opened their eyes again.

Er Fatty went into battle in person.

When he didn't start calling, Er Fatty didn't move like a mountain.

It is as immovable as a mountain, aggressive as fire, as slow as a forest, and as swift as the wind.

bang bang bang...

After shooting a shuttle, immediately change the magazine, which is dazzlingly fast.

bang bang bang...

Long guns and short cannons, what's the use, the gun hits the target!

Finally, throw away the gun, pick up the bayonet and kill the last straw man, and the work is done!
The timekeeper came forward with a pocket watch: "The company commander's technology has improved again, one second faster than before!"

Zhang Daquan explained to the two: "When the speed reaches the extreme, every second of improvement is as difficult as reaching the sky. On the battlefield, every second counts, and if you are half a beat slower, you will die! Obstacle shooting, Gao Li and Er Fatty are equal. You have to learn There are still more! There will be winter ski training and strength training in the afternoon, and I will be full at noon."

Chuan Shuiju didn't dare to brag here anymore, he asked weakly: "Companion Zhang, what are you good at?"

Zhang Daquan scratched his head honestly: "I'm not good at anything, but I can meet the standard in everything."

"..."

……

After Zhao Chuanxin got up today, he was invited to kill a pig.

In the past, New Year pigs were slaughtered when the Chinese New Year was approaching, but now that life is getting better, people start to kill them in winter.

Because the meat can be frozen when the weather is cold, it can be eaten from now until next spring.

Others rushed to press the pig, and the pig screamed like a pig being killed.

Zhao Chuanxin was next to him and said, "Hey, you press your head. Zhang Laosi, you press your butt. Wang Qing, what the hell are you doing pulling a pig's leg? You..."

Anyway, just talk and don't do it.

Finally someone got angry: "Get out of the way when you come, let him go."

Zhao Chuanxin was dumbfounded: "Don't tell me, I'm weak and I can't hold it down."

"You are adding to the chaos on the sidelines, I knew I would not call you!"

"Look at what you're talking about in a human way? At least I'm good at directing, and it's no problem to split half of the rear!"

"Splitting the harem? I won't even give you a pig's tail stick!"

Zhao Chuanxin took a look, and if you don't show your hand, you don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes.

He showed his arms and rolled up his sleeves: "Press it, let you see the style of my old Zhao's knife!"

As he spoke, he took out the elf carving knife and dotted it on the pig's forehead freely.

The pig, which was struggling and howling, had its small eyes straightened in an instant.

Paji, fall to the ground!
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the stunned crowd and said, "Why are you standing still, quickly stab the heart and let the blood out, don't cover your chest!"

At this time, the bloodletting can still be released, but after a while the blood will disperse and coagulate.

And Zhao Chuanxin put away his knife and stood aside, his face full of loneliness as a master!

The next step is to shave the pig hair.

The cauldron and kettle are used to boil water together, and after boiling, take it out and pour it on the pig.

Once the water is hot, the pig hair will be easily scraped off.

Zhao Chuanxin participated in this kind of activities when he was a child, but he rarely saw them when he grew up.

A group of people spit out white gas in the ice and snow, adults working and children making trouble, the most exciting thing is.

Someone saw that Zhao Chuanxin was idle, and said, "Chuanxin, you go and poke your fat intestines."

Seeing the fat intestines with suet hanging on them, Zhao Chuanxin "cracked": "Go whoever you like, I don't do this."

A snot-nosed baby stood up and pinched his waist and shouted, "I can do this."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately pulled his head and pushed him aside: "Obviously, you can't do this!"

This kind of work needs to be handled by meticulous people.

A diligent person took over the job, and Zhao Chuanxin had an extra bag of coarse salt in his hand: "Take this bag of salt with you, and use this to wash it clean."

Salt is always necessary. In order to raise funds, the Qing government has prepared to nationalize the salt industry.

Where ordinary people are willing to waste salt, the man said: "It is too extravagant to use salt."

Some people eat fat intestines, what they eat is the taste.

哕……

Some people eat fatty sausage because of its taste. For example, Zhao Chuanxin has to wash it to the point where it can be used as sashimi in Japan... In short, it must be washed clean.

The man had no choice but to pick up the salt and ran to wash his fat intestines.

But when he came back, Zhao Chuanxin found that the bag of salt was useless.

Something stuck to the salt bag, but the man kindly handed it back to Zhao Chuanxin.

"No, no, take it home and pickle the pickles. I usually have a light mouth and rarely eat salt."

The man happily put away the salt bag and saved another fortune, which is really good.

But Zhao Chuanxin made up his mind and said that he would not eat fat intestines for a while.

Put the big bones in the pot, and the sauerkraut in the back.

Zhao Chuanxin was busy helping out in the kitchen.

When everything was ready, he was the first to go to the kang, poured garlic sauce and waited for the banquet to begin.

In the past, Zhao Chuanxin really didn't even dare to kill a chicken. Fortunately, he has practiced with the great powers, and now he is more courageous.

Pork stewed with sauerkraut, fragrant and steaming.

Burning buttocks on the kang is because the stove is too hot.

When Mr. Zhang was over forty in four years, he also took off his shoes and went to the kang, took out a jug and said to Zhao Chuanxin, "Man, fill it up for you."

Here, Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly stopped him: "No, I can't drink it."

"What's wrong?"

"The amount is too large, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it!"

"..."

Seeing his tall figure, Zhang Laosi was a little uncertain.

What if this kid can really drink?

The key's inscrutable expression made people feel uncertain.

"Forget it." Zhang Laosi poured himself a cup. "Payment, you are capable. Fourth brother has something to ask you."

"You say what you say."

"All the buildings in our Lugang town were completed by that old boy Zhu Jianye. You know, I also lead people to work. Do you have any connections?"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up a leg bone from the large basin just brought up.

Others love to eat fat, but he likes to chew on bones.

After dipping in the garlic sauce, he said, "Would you like to go out? After the new year, there will be some work outside, which requires a lot of manpower. You can follow it when the time comes, but these jobs are subject to a non-disclosure agreement."

"What is a confidentiality agreement?"

"It's just a signature and a pledge. The work must be kept secret and no one else will know. Otherwise, you and your workers will count as one, and Lugang Town will hold you accountable."

"This... How long will it be kept secret? I'm strict with my mouth, and the workers under me won't be sure about it. Also, what responsibility is there to pursue responsibility?"

"It can range from one year to as many as three years. You can't disclose it to anyone, including your wife and children. If you leak it, you will be fined thousands of yuan, and you will be fined hundreds of yuan. In addition, you will be imprisoned in Lugang At least one year in the town jail."

Hearing that he was fined several thousand yuan, Zhang Laosi was startled.

"That much money?"

Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Chuanxin gnawed his bones and said, "The more you pay, the more you earn. After all the work is done, you will have a family."

Zhang Laosi was a little excited, looked around and asked in a low voice: "You can see how much you can earn."

"It's hard to say, how many workers do you have?"

"More than 30."

"That's estimated to make a lot of money in a month. I'll give you the job, and the monthly profit is estimated to be no less than 1000 yuan."

"What?"

Zhang Laosi suddenly got up.

I couldn't believe my ears.

This is an astronomical figure.

"Hey, why are you excited, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Zhang Laosi suppressed the turbulent mood, and asked with a flushed face: "Is this work only for me?"

"I haven't drank it yet, why is it floating?" Zhao Chuanxin put down his smooth legs and said, "Old man Zhu also has a share, you don't have enough people. I give priority to using our own people in Lugang Town. We search outside because there are not enough people. So, when the time comes, don’t rush people indiscriminately, you are the only one who leaks the news and asks!”

"Okay, okay, with this money, I can sew my mouth up and work!"

"Eat and eat first, and I'll talk to you later."

"That's okay, that's okay, I'll wait."

During the banquet, Zhang Laosi kept toasting Zhao Chuanxin.

He doesn't mind Zhao Chuanxin substituting tea for wine.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Laosi held a pork knuckle and said, "Pay the salary, take it home and eat it."

Taking it cheerfully, Zhao Chuanxin strolled home.

When passing by the public security station, Zhao Zhongyi happened to go out.

He said: "Pass the salary, Bao Bao and Jia Hui will be back tomorrow."

"Okay, let's have a year-end meeting the day after tomorrow."

"So urgent? Is there still some time before the end of the year?"

"Well, just wait for them to come back, some things need to be done in advance."

Take the pork knuckle home.

At the gate, they met Miao Cuihua and Naoko Yuka who also just came back.

The two were carrying a bunch of things in big bags and small bags.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't intend to help either: "Look, I brought back a pork knuckle, let's stew it for dinner."

Naoko Youxiang was handed over to Miao Cuihua by Zhao Chuanxin to teach her how to dress.

Went out shopping this morning.

After sending the things to Naoko Yuka's house, Miao Cuihua came to the living room in style, brushed her hair on her forehead, and fanned her cheeks with her hands: "It's so hot."

She was wearing a light-colored T-shirt with a large round neck, the hem was tucked into the trousers, and she bent slightly to reveal a little bit of unfathomable career line.

Light-colored tights look even bigger.

Zhao Chuanxin: "Oh, let's open the window, just to let the smoke out."

He has been addicted to smoking recently. Like everyone else, he struggles to quit smoking every day.

Always tell yourself: it is not too late to quit after smoking this one.

So did the next one.

"..." Miao Cuihua walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with her waist slung, and opened a gap.Looking at the frozen lake in the distance, he turned around and said with a smile: "I heard from Guangzong earlier that a dragon boat race will be held in the lake during the Dragon Boat Festival next year."

Zhao Chuanxin said without raising his head, "Really? It's really good."

Miao Cuihua came to him again, and said casually, "Why don't we also participate? It is said that to improve the status of women in Lugang Town, there will be a mixed competition for men and women."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin got excited when he said this. "Half male, half female? Who is your partner? I'll have to pick and choose, not the ugly ones."

"..."

Miao Cuihua took a deep breath, her eyes moved, almost dripping water: "Actually, my boat is famously fast."

As she spoke, she moved forward again, puffing out her chest.

Zhao Chuanxin bent his biceps, patted them vigorously, and made a bang sound: "Do you think these muscles are for nothing? I bet ten cents, your team will definitely not be able to beat mine !"

Miao Cuihua turned her head and left after hearing that.

Do you know how angry you are?

If you wait for my old lady, I don't believe that I can't cure you!

When Miao Cuihua left, the faint scent of her body still remained in the air.

With a smile on the corner of Zhao Chuanxin's mouth, he took out his diary and raised his legs, and started the leisure mode for middle-aged and elderly people.

[After several rests, I finally arrived at the entrance of the Styx Cave. 】

[Different from its eerie name, this entrance is unremarkable, and the air it emits is not cold, but warm and comfortable. 】

[The entrance of the cave is so small that a person can straighten up and enter, but the wound of war cannot. 】

[I left it with a mountain of food and let it wait outside. 】

【I took the boy and his sister into the cave together. 】

[We enter the tunnel, the moss on the two walls emits a glowing light, illuminating the road ahead. 】

[Here, this kind of moss is everywhere, making the environment appear more profound. 】

[The two brothers and sisters were a little curious about this place, but also fearful, they kept close to me and never left an inch. 】

[Soon, we went down to the depths of the ground. 】

[There are three forked roads ahead, and I need to make a choice. 】

[Left: The entrance is spacious and three people tall.

Middle: The cave is low, requiring the cat to walk forward.

Right: There is a faint sound of running water, and the size of the hole is just right for humans to enter. 】

[So, which way should I choose? 】

Will there be huge dangerous creatures in the tall cave?
Zhao Chuanxin felt claustrophobic just thinking about the low cave.

Besides, in such a low cave, it would be troublesome to turn around and escape in case of danger.

He had lost a year of life before, and Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to take risks here.

Left and right, and finally he chose the right side:
[I enter from the cave on the right. 】

[We didn't go far, and we saw a dark river flowing slowly from the side of the passage. 】

[The river overflowed the passage, we stepped on it, and found that it was only below the ankles, so we stepped on it with confidence. 】

[Within 10 minutes of walking, we encountered a group of Styx elves. 】

[The Styx elves spotted us, bared their sharp teeth at us, and charged forward bravely with a sharp blade in their hands. 】

[Before using the weapon, I suddenly thought of one thing. 】

【I took out the shocking thorn and squeezed it. 】

[These brave little creatures, who are not afraid of death, are terrified and run away for the first time. 】

[The little boy cheered up and said: Brave, they are also afraid of being shocked, but they didn't expect it to go so smoothly. 】

[I also feel lucky, holding Jingshen stab to open the way while walking.At the same time, it is considered that bringing the shocking thorn to the weirdo for research may be able to crack the method of dealing with the remnants of creatures and change the mode of war. 】

[All the Styx elves I met were scared away by my shocking stab. 】

[Just when we were proud, there were rows of ripples on the water. 】

[In the distance, there is a group of big furry insects running silently on the water surface with long legs, and they are rushing towards the three of us. 】

[Just looking at their ferocious appearance and their two spike-like fangs makes one feel chills in the bottom of their hearts. 】

[I stabilized my mind and took out the shocking thorns, preparing to scare them away. 】

[However, after I squeezed the shocking thorn, these bugs did not scare away, but rushed faster. 】

[I was shocked and quickly shot out a bolt of arrow-shaped lightning. 】
