Princess Fuyao

Chapter 17 Hollow Copper Hammer
It's Muxiu again, Fuyao intends not to leave the barracks, but now that it's summer, these boys have to clean up, how can they avoid it?Besides, she couldn't wait to wash her body well, stuffing a towel into her clothes to wipe her body every day, how could she be clean?
But she felt that she was being followed.

Walking past a tent, Fuyao suddenly hid to the side, stopped for a while, saw Chen Qiangrui poking around looking for someone, Fuyao got out again.

"Brother Qiang Rui!"

"Fuyao, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go out alone, so let's be your companion."

"I'm going to my sister's house, what are you doing?"

"Your sister—" Chen Qiangrui didn't believe it at all.

"My sister married to the town ahead."

"I'll send you there and pick you up in the evening."

Seeing his worried appearance, Fuyao was very moved, so he didn't say anything else, and the two walked out together.

Chen Qiangrui helped chop firewood, and Fuyao picked it up behind. When they arrived at the eldest sister's house, the two of them carried a large bundle each.

Shopkeeper Zhang repeatedly praised Fuyao for being diligent and a good boy.

"This is for practicing martial arts with me." Fuyao introduced.

"My name is Chen Qiangrui, you can call me by my name."

"Oh brother Qiangrui, it looks like he's going to do great things in the future, he's really sensible and polite." The shopkeeper Zhang was pretty good, and he urged Zhang Chengyi to serve them tea.

Zhang Chengyi was wearing a waistcoat and building a wall outside.That is to dry the base, fix a groove more than two feet wide with thick wooden boards, fill the middle with soil, and pound it hard with a stone pestle.Fuyao was born in the [-]s. In her memory, she had seen such fences in the countryside when she was a child.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Hey." Zhang Chengyi rubbed the back of his head, "There is no one living behind this yard, I want to use a wall to surround it, and then feed a chicken or something."

"Without food, what do you feed the chickens?"

Zhang Chengyi's face was a bit ugly: "This year's food is very cheap, and business can't be done. Your sister and I want to do something else."

"Food is very cheap?" Fuyao and Chen Qiangrui were both stunned. The weather here is very cold, and only one season of barley and sorghum can be grown a year. People's food is all brought in from the mainland, and a catty of grain is sent here. The consumption on the road can be two catties, how can it be cheap?Seeing Zhang Chengyi's troubled face, the two of them immediately understood.

The imperial court sent a lot of food to the military camp this year, and someone stole it and sold it out, which pushed down the price of food here.

Worms!The two looked at each other, knowing that the other had thought of it, but there was no way to say this, Chen Qiangrui quickly changed the topic: "Brother Zhang, I will also help you hit the wall."

"I'm coming too!"

Fuyao filled the wooden trough with soil below, and the two men exchanged stone pestles for porcelain blocks and worked hard all morning.

Anyway, the food was cheap, so the two of them just ate here, and then continued to hit the wall until it was getting dark before going back.

"Brother-in-law, you discuss it with the shopkeeper. If the food is cheaper than what you brought in, you can eat some, stock it up, and then sell it when it becomes more expensive. In winter, the Tatars consume a lot of food, and the price will definitely increase."

"Well, I think so too. When I turn around, I will discuss it with the shopkeeper."

Fuyao asked Chen Qiangrui to drink tea and chat with her brother-in-law outside to discuss whether what she just said was feasible, and she hurriedly took a bath in her sister's room.

Yaoqian rubbed her younger sister's back while crying, but she was very filial. Although she was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Lu, she didn't say a word, she just felt sorry for Fuyao, her younger brother was not here, and when will her sister suffer this crime? down.

The next day, after Fuyao ran and exercised, he squatted for an hour, and saw Guo Bin's cold face, swaying towards him. He was holding a pair of melon hammers in his hand, and a chain behind him.

"I think you'd better use this!"

It was much heavier than a saber, Fuyao felt bitter in his heart, knowing that this cruel boss would never allow her to make a stunt, so he took it obediently.

"It's hollow!" Such a big copper hammer weighed at least thirty or forty catties, Fuyao took it in his hand and weighed it, it looked like ten catties at most, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

"Humph! Can you handle the solid ones?" Guo Bin twitched the corner of his mouth. He went to the armory yesterday and wanted to find a pair of hollow ones for Fuyao. He didn't expect that as soon as he explained his purpose, the clerk in charge of the warehouse would say hello. He took it out bluntly, and he was very surprised at the time, why is this guy who usually plucks his hair so easy to talk about today?He hasn't paid yet.

"Little General Guo, I didn't expect my son to appreciate you very much."

"?" What does it have to do with Liang Mingrui!Guo Bin didn't even bother to talk to this incoherent guy, so he took the copper hammer and left.

"You play as a stone lock first, and when I find a general who uses a chain hammer, I will teach you." Guo Bin said to Fuyao.

This kind of copper hammer with a chain and a handle can be used as a hammer at ordinary times, and can be thrown out as a meteor hammer at critical times.

After practicing for a few days, Fuyao became smoother and smoother. I felt grateful and remembered Guo Bin's difficulty. When I came out of the school field that day, I saw Guo Bin walking behind me and smiled at him sincerely: "Thank you, boss! Let you worry."

"Hmph!" Guo Bin replied awkwardly, with an expression on his face that he didn't know whether he liked or was annoyed, it had been five days, and he still hadn't found someone to teach Fuyao.After all, Fuyao was an adult, and the more awkward Guo Bin was, the more she wanted to tease him. Seeing Fuyao smiled again, Guo Bin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he strode away with a stiff neck.

When Guo Bin was worried, a general named Wang Dasuo came to the door himself, saying that he had been looking for an apprentice but failed, and when he heard that Fuyao wanted to practice hammer, he came to recommend himself.

Guo Bin was very surprised, with a rare smile on his face, and brought Wang Pian to meet Fuyao

However, Wang Pianjiang said that the hammer was too heavy and the tricks were not as complicated as the spear. Fuyao learned things quickly, and she finished learning in less than a month. Wang Pianjiang let her practice and ponder by herself, and never came again.

"This doesn't look like someone who found an apprentice to teach others. It's like someone forced him to teach me." Fuyao thought it was strange, but she was obsessed with martial arts and didn't think much about it.

Fuyao's martial arts has advanced by leaps and bounds. First, Guo Bin helped her practice her Qi, which greatly increased her strength. Second, she started flying this year, and she has grown a lot taller. Every inch of bone is equal to an inch of strength, and growth will also increase her strength.Third, she has learned more and more martial arts moves, coupled with her previous life's kung fu foundation and rich theoretical knowledge, she can integrate what she has learned to form her own unique way of using force, moves and fighting the enemy .

In order to participate in the competition, Fuyao begged her father to find a friend in the Ordnance Bureau to make a pair of wooden hammers. Now in the competition, [-]% of the people can't beat her.

In this martial arts competition, Fuyao defeated Han Chen, the leader of the seventh group. Guo Bin changed his usual ruthless appearance, and proudly patted Fuyao on the shoulder, causing eyes to drop all over the place. Immediately, he turned serious again. He was so cool that he didn't respond to anyone, even Fuyao was puzzled by Zhang Er Bodhisattva, who really didn't know what kind of character he was.

Ever since I went to Yaoqian's house with Fuyao, Chen Qiangrui would follow her when she was resting, helping Zhang Chengyi to build walls and chop firewood, while Fuyao helped her sister with laundry and cooking.

This year's grain business was sluggish, so when Ji Zhenggang was resting, he helped Yaoqian get some old military uniforms for her daughter to dismantle, wash, and mend, so as to earn some money to subsidize the family.Although a pair of jackets were issued in the army this year, no one knows whether cotton-padded jackets will be issued in winter. Besides, it was so easy to pay the army in full. Many people think of the biting cold in winter and are busy preparing for themselves. Clothes and bedding, Yaoqian's business here is very good, there is endless work to do.

Guo Bin took a rest day and couldn't find Chen Qiangrui. Before going to bed at night, he grabbed him and asked, "Where did you go today?"

Chen Qiangrui told the truth.

"Fuyao's elder sister married here?" Guo Bin was a little bit unconvinced.

"Well, her father has also gone, and we helped clean up the yard."

Guo Bin frowned and said nothing.

In the following days, he acted as if nothing had happened, and Chen Qiangrui was relieved.

Unexpectedly, just as Fuyao walked out of the tent on Muxiu Day, he saw Guo Bin standing outside, and said unhappily, "You invited Chen Qiangrui, and you didn't say anything to me?"

Could it be that Chen Qiangrui insisted on explaining to this cold noodle king?Fuyao grinned helplessly: "Going to work is not a good thing, if you want, then let's go together."

"It's fine if you don't want to invite me." Guo Bin said awkwardly.

"Think, think, if my sister knows that you are still our leader, she must be very happy." Yaoqian was worried about her status as a girl, and at the same time hoped that her sister would have more friends and be less bullied.
