Chapter 292: Mountain Rain is Coming (3)
After listening to Bu Jiu's statement, Li Ziyu's heart was unprecedentedly dignified.
She knew that the situation was very serious, and it was almost on the verge of breaking out. But what should she do? Where is the safe place?
Should she save a fluke mentality, in case the imperial army defeats the Liao army? Is this a possibility?
She didn't think about how to deal with the situation in front of her until she arrived at the stable, so she had to put her mind down and look at the twelve horses in the stable.
Li Ziyu's family's horse shed is very spacious, and it can hold more than 100 horses. On the eaves outside each stable, a petrol lamp hangs from the eaves.
This gasoline lamp is a drawing drawn by Li Ziyu and made by Wang Tiehammer in the Lei family's manufacturing workshop.
The upper part of the gasoline lamp is the lamp top, the lower part is the lamp base, which is filled with kerosene, and the middle is the gauze cover. There is an air pump pipe on the lamp base, which injects air, presses kerosene out of a group of small holes, sprays into mist droplets, turns into steam, mixes evenly with air and burns, so that the gauze cover emits a hot and shiny.
Since the introduction of gasoline lamps, it has been hung at night in various parts of the house, and even there are two in each of the four pillboxes in the east, west, south, and north. No more worrying about traveling at home at night, and no need to light torches at every turn.
The twelve horses bought by Bu Jiu and the original two horses of the family were in the middle of the two stables, and by the light of the gasoline lamp, Li Ziyu found that these twelve horses were all good horses. With a strong physique, broad chest, long mane, thick skin and thick hair, it's no wonder that Bu Jiu can't wait to let her see it tomorrow.
Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu finished watching the horse, and just wanted to turn around and walk back. When I went back to the old house, I heard a knock at the door.
Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu glanced at each other, and Bu Jiu walked in front with a gasoline lamp. Li Ziyu followed behind and walked towards the door.
They couldn't estimate who it was, but Bu Shi didn't make a sound, so it was estimated that he was a friend or foe.
Bu Jiu walked to the gate and opened the door, and before he could speak, he heard Wang Tiezhu's voice coming from the front: "Big niece." Sorry to bother you so late, I have to come in a hurry. ”
Li Ziyu took advantage of the light of the gasoline lamp to find that Wang Tiehammer was pulling a large carriage. The carriage was left and right followed by six men in strong suits with swords in their hands.
"Uncle Wang, let's talk about it first." Li Ziyu knew that the third batch of grenades must have been made, so she hurriedly called them in.
In the past, Li Ziyu sent Bu Jiu to fetch it, and the location of the grenade was different every time. It was the Lei family who sent someone to tell Bu Jiu in code words near the Qian Family Academy. Because the carriage was canopy. It was placed in the car and was not found by anyone.
Today, Wang Tiehammer personally came to the door at night, there must be something else.
Wang Tiehammer drove the carriage into the courtyard, and six big men followed.
The group didn't say anything more, and walked north along the bluestone road to the west. When he walked to a small newly built courtyard to the west, Li Ziyu opened the wooden door and the carriage drove straight into the courtyard.
"Uncle Wang, let's talk in the house." As he spoke, Li Ziyu motioned for Wang Tiehammer to enter the house. He and Bu Jiu followed.
The six big men did not enter the house and stayed in the courtyard.
In each of the seven courtyards, Li Ziyu made a wardrobe, a desk, a dining table and ten matching chairs. Once in place. So, everything in the house is complete.
After Li Ziyu invited Wang Tiehammer to sit down, she asked, "Uncle Wang, what happened to you so late?" Is there any news? ”
Wang Tiehammer said with a calm face: "The Lei family has received definite news, and the border is about to start a war. He told you to be more careful, and if there are relatives or friends who are taking refuge in the distance, you should quickly evacuate the place with your family. Although your courtyard is also very strong, if the Liao army really attacks, it will still not be able to withstand the soldiers and horses of the Liao army.
In addition, in addition to grenades, this time I also brought 2,000 bows and arrows and 500 crossbows, all of which can be fired in bursts according to what you said. ”
When Li Ziyu heard this, she was overjoyed, these bows and arrows and crossbows came in such a timely manner, they were really a charcoal in the snow! Hurriedly thanked: "Uncle Wang, thank you!" Thank you Uncle Lei for thinking about me so much. ”
After Wang Tiehammer finished explaining, he did not delay, and hurriedly returned with his people.
Li Ziyu sent Wang Tiezhu and his party away, and wanted to go back to the old house without explaining anything to Bu Jiu.
Because Bu Jiu didn't know the formula of gunpowder, he was involved in all the others, and it is estimated that all the circumstances of the grenade were clear to Ren Xiaohang. It's not early now, and she is afraid that her aunt and younger siblings will be anxious if she doesn't go back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked down the hillside, the gate was knocked again. It looks like today is destined to be an unquiet night.
Bu Jiu, who had just walked on the road to the city, had to return to the bottom and asked in a deep voice, "Who?" ”
"It's me!" Chai Bin's deep voice came from outside, and it was particularly clear in this silent night.
There were a few dog barks in the village because of the frequent movements of Li Ziyu's house, which broke the peace of the mountain village. Because most of the villagers had not slept at this time, the barking of dogs did not attract the attention of the villagers.
Bu Jiu opened the door, and Chai Bin walked in first, followed by ten carriages, which were full of bulging sacks, and it seemed that the weight was not light.
Chai Bin didn't need Li Ziyu's instructions, so he led the convoy into the bluestone road facing north from the west, and drove straight to the last row of mud and straw houses in the newly built courtyard.
Li Ziyu followed behind the convoy, and after Bu Jiu closed the gate, he also followed.
In the end, the convoy stopped in front of the row of mud and straw houses, and the drivers did not speak, waiting for Li Ziyu to come and open the door.
These ten small courtyards, Li Ziyu built them according to the warehouse.
Don't look at the mud and straw houses, but the waterproof measures are quite good, at least for more than ten years. In the three spacious rooms, thick wooden planks are erected in the air on the ground, and the bottom is covered with green bricks, which is both strong and moisture-resistant.
Gasoline lamps have been lit in the house, illuminating every corner of the house.
Chai Bin didn't speak, and took the lead in carrying the sacks into the house, stacking them one by one. The coachmen did not wait for the order to carry the carry, and in a short time they had finished carrying the ten sacks.
The ten cartloads of sacks occupied three whole rooms, some of which were stacked almost all on the roof.
The coachmen exited the house in an orderly manner and stood in front of the carriage, waiting for the next step.
After Bu Jiu unloaded the car, he returned to the bunker at the door without stopping for a while.
Chai Bin walked into the yard and said to Li Ziyu: "Little Miss, it is full of rice husks and wheat, and there are more than 20 bags of soybeans, you can keep them for you to eat or feed the livestock." I didn't buy rice or noodles, because I was afraid that I would not be able to hold back the insects for a long time, so I bought rice husks and wheat.
I still have 2,000 catties of grain and some cotton cloth there, and I will transport them again at night to try to get all the grain over.
In addition, I have transferred all my business in the town to Zhangkou Town, where there are mainly two silk shops, two grocery stores, a restaurant, and an antique shop. In the southeast of Zhangkou Town, I also bought 1,000 acres of land.
In Changdong Town, where the government is located in Qian'an County, I opened two restaurants, three silk shops, a grocery store, and an inn. In the southeast and southwest of Changdong Town, two large Zhuangzi of 2,000 acres were bought.
In addition, I have closed the brick kilns in the east of the mountain pimple village. I'm going to give up my family's house, and Qiu Yue and I plan to take ten of them to live here temporarily.
This is all the deed and title deed, and all the property in my hands at the moment, little miss, I will hand it over to you now, you can check it later to see if the number can be matched. ”
