Cao Thief

Chapter 34
Can I be more shameless, please recommend collection...

————————————————————————

While talking, there was a sound from outside the house.

Immediately following the sound of footsteps, a thin young man rushed into the hall like a wind, his face was flushed, and his neck was stuck and he said loudly: "Who took my things?"

"Ah Fu, be presumptuous!"

Deng Ji was furious and shouted loudly.

This young man was Cao Peng, who ran to the river beach in the heavy snow just now, but couldn't find the leather pocket.When he came back dejectedly, he heard Wang Meng say that someone came to return the leather bag.Cao Peng immediately became anxious and ran to the hall.It's just that his tone... is really blunt!

The girl pouted, seemingly unhappy.

Cao Peng also realized that his tone just now was a bit tough.

So he quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm also in a hurry to get angry, just treat it as if I farted just now, don't be offended... Excuse me, who picked up my things?"

What he said was vulgar, and Deng Ji blushed with anger.

Even Cao Ji frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

The girl's face also turned red.

But immediately burst out laughing.She stood up and asked, "You said you lost something, so let me ask you, what did you lose?"

"A black leather pocket with flames embroidered on it."

"What's in that leather pocket?"

Cao Peng was stunned, thought for a while and replied: "There are a few blueprints inside, and some miscellaneous trivial things."

"Drawing, what drawing?"

"It's the bellows..."

Cao Peng suddenly shut up and stared at the girl.

The girl giggled mischievously, "Oh, so that thing is called a bellows."

Fuck, I've been fooled by the little girl!

Cao Peng pursed his lips and did not speak.

The girl seemed to think that it was too much, so she picked up the blueprint from the case, put it in her leather pocket, and walked up to Cao Peng.

"Well, give it back to you!"

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take the leather pocket from the girl.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome... but the little girl has a question, I wonder if the young master can explain it to me?"

Deng Ji spoke at this time, "Ah Fu, don't be rude, this is Miss Zhang."

Although he was angry at Cao Peng's rude behavior just now, but seeing that the girl was not angry, he stopped pursuing it.At the same time, Deng Ji could also see that the ghostly symbols on the hemp paper seemed to have something mysterious.He can't understand it, but he can think about it... This little brother-in-law of his is different from before!To be valued by Pang Ren is enough to show that Cao Peng is indeed extraordinary.Reminiscent of the previous double-liquid quenching method (in fact, Deng Ji didn't know it, it was called the double-liquid quenching method), everything Cao Peng did had deep intentions.

However, Deng Ji still didn't want Cao Peng to neglect the Zhang family.

Zhang family?

Cao Peng glanced at Deng Ji suspiciously, and suddenly realized: "Nieyang Zhang?"

Even if you know it, you don't have to say it!

Deng Ji was very helpless towards Cao Peng, but he could only nod his head, expressing that there was nothing wrong.

"Then dare to ask Prefect Zhang Ji, who are you?"

Cao Peng always thought Zhang Ji's name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it.Later, by chance, Deng Ji said 'Mr. Zhongjing'.Cao Peng asked, who is Mr. Zhongjing?And Deng Ji replied, didn't I mention it to you before, was it Zhang Ji Zhang Taishou?

Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing?

Isn't that the famous medical saint in later generations?
In the hometown of Cao Peng in his previous life, there was a chain pharmacy called Zhang Zhongjing Pharmacy.

If he doesn't know who Zhang Zhongjing is?That's really weird...

The girl giggled and said, "That's the little girl's world father."

"Ah, that's really rude!"

Cao Peng hurriedly bowed his hands.He was not flattering the girl, but saluted sincerely.Not for anything else, just for the name Zhang Zhongjing.

"My name is Wanzhen!"

"what?"

"my name!"

The girl scolded, "You are really unreasonable. People have already told you your name, but you haven't said it yet. What's your name?"

Cao Peng woke up like a dream, and apologized again and again.

"My surname is Cao, my first name is Peng, and my name is Youxue."

"You have words!"

Zhang Wanzhen pursed her lips and said with a light smile, "Shouldn't that little girl call you Mr. Youxue?"

"Don't dare, dare not... Just call me Cao Peng!"

"Hehe, I'm not kidding... Wanzhen knows she's being presumptuous, but she's still a little curious. To tell you the truth, Mr. Cao, I've been good at building and building since I was a child. Today I was going to see my brother in Jiyang County, so I crossed the river by the river bank At that time, under a peach tree, I accidentally picked up something lost by the young master. I was supposed to return it to the young master at the time, but due to the rush of time, I had to go to the county to handle errands...

On the way, the little girl accidentally saw the son's drawing, so she was a little curious.

This bellows... oh, it's called a bellows.Can you tell the little girl, what is the purpose of this bellows? "

In those bright eyes, there was eager anticipation, so Cao Peng couldn't bear to refuse.

"This is..."

"Ah Fu, you are here to talk to Miss, I'll go and see if dinner is ready."

Deng Ji winked, said excuse me, and pulled Cao Ji out of the hall.As soon as he went out, the manager of the Zhang family couldn't stay in the hall any longer.Because he could see that Cao Peng seemed a little hesitant.Since it involves confidentiality, the fewer people who know about it, the better.He is not afraid that something will happen to Miss Wanzhen... Miss Wanzhen's elder brother is currently stationed not far from Jiyang.

If there is an accident, that brother can quickly level Deng Village...

"Afu?"

When only Cao Peng and Wanzhen were left in the hall, Zhang Wanzhen asked with a smile.

Cao Peng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Ah Fu, it's my baby name...my brother-in-law is used to calling her like that, and it made Miss laugh."

For some reason, Cao Peng's heart was beating violently.

Beast!
Judging by her appearance, she is probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, but I actually...

Why didn't I feel that I was still a lolicon before?But the feeling of this woman is really weird.That look, that temperament, and... Damn, why do girls of this age look so precocious?I actually have the feeling of first love!
The first love in the previous life was a failure!
did not expect……

The girl in front of him made Cao Peng's heart beat faster.

When everyone was there just now, there was nothing wrong with it. Now there are only two of them left, and Cao Peng discovered that this Wanzhen is actually quite beautiful.

"Then Mr. Cao, can you explain to me?"

The longing in the girl's eyes made Cao Peng unable to extricate himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "It's okay to tell you, it's just..."

"Don't worry, I will keep it secret."

The girl said seriously: "I know, this matter must be very important to the young master, I will not tell anyone... If you don't believe it, we will tick."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers in front of Cao Peng.

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and ticked...

Cao Peng's heart beat faster when he touched the girl's finger.

And Zhang Wanzhen's face was also a little blushing, and after she lowered her head and ticked Cao Peng, she said impatiently: "Actually, I'm just curious. I feel that this bellows must have some magical effect... And I think , the drawings seem to have some flaws and imperfections.”

"Oh?"

Cao Peng also got excited.

His drawings, he was naturally very clear in his heart.

He just drew the prototype of the bellows based on his memory. To be honest, this picture is not perfect.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Wanzhen also saw that my father is a blacksmith. For a long time, my father wanted to forge a high-quality knife, but unfortunately he never succeeded. I saw my father was in a hurry, so I wanted to help Help him. Later I found out that the stove can increase the temperature of the fire, so I thought, if I can blow stronger wind into the stove, will it increase the temperature of the fire and make a good knife?
Once, I saw a book with a sentence like this: between heaven and earth, is it still like a stick?Emptiness and unyielding, moving and getting better... So, I designed this bellows in combination with the characteristics of the scorpion.It's just, as you can see, so far, not perfect. "

This sentence comes from "Lao Tzu-Dao Jing".

Zhang Wanzhen had obviously read this book, but it was just from Cao Peng's mouth that she was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect Mr. Cao to be a dutiful son!"

In Zhang Wanzhen's eyes, there was a strong sense of admiration.

She stretched out her hand, "Can you let the little girl look at the drawings again?"

This seems like an expert!
Cao Peng did not hesitate this time, and took out the drawing and handed it to Zhang Wanzhen.

"Hee hee, this picture of yours is really interesting, I don't know what you used to draw it?"

"This one……"

Cao Peng did not hesitate this time, and took out a charcoal pencil from the leather pocket.

"This is a charcoal pencil I made myself...hehe, it's actually very simple, just take the charcoal that has been burned and cut it into this shape to use it. It's just for the convenience of drawing, and it can't be used for much use...Actually , I have a better way."

"any solution?"

"Take the goose feather, write on the hard rod and cut it off, and then use it after dipping in ink."

"Really?" Zhang Wanzhen showed curiosity, and there was a strange light in her eyes, which made Cao Peng's heart beat faster again.

"Then when I go back, I must try it."

While talking, Zhang Wanzhen took the charcoal pencil, walked to the side of the case, stared at the drawing, looked left and right...

"Actually, I already had some ideas on the way.

It's just that I'm not sure what the purpose of this object is, so I didn't think about it further.Your son's thoughts are somewhat different from my guess, but they are basically the same.

Look, my lord, I added a mouth on each side of the box.When the lever is pulled out, the air is inhaled from a prong, and then when the prong is pushed, the air is inhaled from the near side... Well, during the inward and outward push and pull process, the air is sucked into the box, and then pushed out from here, Just squirt it out.Roughly such a process, I think the problem will not be too big, but still need to try. "

Cao Peng didn't understand a word Zhang Wanzhen said.

But judging from the graphics she drew on the hemp paper, it seems quite reasonable.

In fact, this blower box is a very simple, yet very clever design.A knowledgeable person can see the clue after thinking about it.

Of course, it is not impossible to achieve this effect.

It's just that the cost of rowing is too high, and the operation is very complicated.Compared with the blower box, it seems a bit flashy...

Cao Peng didn't notice Zhang Wanzhen's other words: Although it is different from my guess, it is roughly the same.

In other words, what Zhang Wanzhen thought of was another usage of the bellows.

As for this usage, it was only later that Cao Peng paid attention to it...

"How long will it take to find someone to build it?"

Zhang Wanzhen thought for a while, "Since you don't want others to know about this object, you better build it yourself, otherwise..."

"Build it yourself?"

Cao Peng is in trouble!
He doesn't know how to do carpentry, and he doesn't seem to be familiar with it at home.

Zhang Wanzhen couldn't understand Cao Peng's difficulties, so she said with a smile: "Young Master Cao, if you believe in a little girl, let me build it."

"you?"

"Looking down on me?
There are dedicated craftsmen in my family, and they are very loyal.

I let them build it, so you don't need to worry about it being leaked... Of course, this requires you, Mr. Cao, to trust the little girl. "

Cao Peng didn't hesitate this time.

"Then please!"

People can think through things that he can't understand, and then hide them, it's not interesting.

Since Zhang Wanzhen opened her mouth, she has given Cao Peng enough respect.In fact, if she doesn't get Cao Peng's consent, she can still make it herself when she returns home.

Now that she has spoken, it means that she has no other intentions.

The smile on Zhang Wanzhen's face grew stronger, and she held the blueprint in her hand, "Then I can take it away."

"Please!"

"Then, I'll go back first... If I don't leave, my father will be in a hurry."

While talking, she put away the drawings and walked out of the hall.When walking out of the hall, Zhang Wanzhen stopped suddenly, turned her head and asked with a smile, "Young Master Cao, can I ask you one more thing?"

Cao Peng said, "What's the matter?"

"Do you practice martial arts on the river beach behind your house every day before dawn?"

"how do you know?"

"Hee hee, my father said, the boxing you practice there every day is very interesting! The little girl is also very curious. I wonder if you can worship the young master as a teacher?"

Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this...
