122. The Heart of Machinery
Mo Ye nodded seriously, nothing more, and then followed Lin Shan to get up, and went to the other three 'walking points', watching Lin Shan pry open the floor tiles in the other three rooms in turn according to the position indicated by the shadow pattern on the reverse of the house layout map, and fill in the wooden blocks.
Mo Ye saw that Lin Shan's action of filling in the wooden block did not seem to be difficult, and he couldn't help but wonder what he said just now. After thinking about it, after Lin Shan finished the work in hand, she asked, "Master, is there anything that needs special attention here?" ”
Lin Shan nodded and said, "Actually, the wooden block is a little larger than the groove left by the Positional Eye, so when embedding, you need to force the inside of the Positional Eye to open a point first, so that the wooden block can be tightly combined with the Positional Eye." But if the order is reversed, the eye must be filled with wooden blocks before being pushed away, and if the order is reversed, the eye will be useless. ”
Walking back to the door with Lin Shan, he saw Lin Shan's hand pick up the drawer on the ground, Mo Ye's eyes swept over the few wooden blocks still left in the drawer, and asked, "What's the matter with these wooden blocks?" ”
Lin Shan smiled and said, "This is made of barbarian iron and wood, which is equivalent to a key!" The rest of the blocks were not used in our house. ”
Mo Ye sighed in his heart when he heard this: Could it be that the master didn't just make a 'big iron cage' here?
Watching Lin Shan go into the study with a drawer, without his reminder, Mo Ye ripped off the drawing hanging on the door eyebrow, and followed him into the study.
In the study, Lin Shan had restored the widened desk to its normal appearance. There was a drawer on the table, and when Mo Ye got closer, he realized that this drawer was not the one just now, and it was not filled with wooden blocks. Rather, it is a miscellaneous rod of different shapes.
Without waiting for Mo Ye to ask, Lin Shan, who was pulling something in the drawer, saw her coming, stopped with both hands for a moment, then pushed a small wooden box on the table, and said to Mo Ye: "Help me scoop this to the backyard gate." ”
Mo Ye hesitated slightly. Then she walked over to the table. It's just that she scooped up the small wooden box with one hand, and just left the table, she felt a sinking in her hand, and she hurriedly stretched out another hand. Holding it up with both hands, he said with a slight look in his eyes: "What is this?" ”
Lin Shan said casually: "It's similar to the things used for the front yard gate." ”
Mo Ye nodded silently, Lin Shan's explanation was very subtle. However, she was not unaware of the spring lock embedded in the front yard gate.
Seeing that Lin Shan had already found several sticks from the drawer, it seemed that he hadn't finished looking for them yet. Mo Ye didn't say anything more, and went to the backyard first.
She waited for a while and then saw Lin Shan also coming, holding a cloth bag in one hand and a wooden box in the other, and it seemed that these two things were not light. When he came to the courtyard wall, he saw him spreading out the cloth bag, and there were more than a dozen thin sticks strung on it. And one end of these thin rods is sharpened, revealing the texture of metal.
At the suggestion of Lin Shan. Mo Ye put the wooden box she was holding on the ground, and then used it as a clothes pole, but instead of clothes, she picked up a roll of cloth strung with metal rods.
It's just that this cloth roll became extremely heavy after stringing more than a dozen metal rods, and Mo Ye felt very difficult to lift it up with her arms outstretched, and because she was only a ten-year-old child with a limited height, there was still a section of the hem of the cloth roll that had not been propped up, and the metal rods strung on it were also stacked together.
When Lin Shan squatted down to open the wooden box, he saw the unopened cloth under Mo Ye's feet, he suddenly looked up at Mo Ye a few times, and finally just exhaled softly. After taking out an ink cartridge from the wooden box and a small hao, he stood up and shouted, "Lu Sheng, come here!" ”
Who is Terrestrial? Mo Ye was stunned, but when she saw a 'Lu Sheng' jumping down from the roof of the shed where the horses were herded in the backyard, she couldn't help but lose her hands in shock. The roll of cloth she was holding was loose and sloppy, and the metal rods strung on it touched each other with a crisp jingling sound.
The 'Lu Sheng' called by Lin Shan's mouth turned out to be the only rough envoy in the family.
And this quiet young man who is usually honest and willing to do things with strength has already revealed his shallow martial arts cultivation in this leap.
The biggest reason why Mo Ye was shocked was that she hadn't remembered until now that when Lin Shan taught her those secret methods, this rough envoy named Lu Sheng had never left. It's just because since he went home just now, after Lu Sheng Ma An took the carriage, there was no movement as usual, and he was attracted by what the master taught, so he ignored his storage.
Hearing his name shouted out of Lin Shan's mouth, Mo Ye quickly calmed down after being shocked, and he should be able to guess without asking that Lu Sheng was not an outsider.
However, her heart was still shocked, shocked by Lu Sheng's forbearance, and ashamed of her own negligence.
After Lu Sheng jumped off the roof of the stable, he walked to Mo Ye in three or two steps. When he looked at Mo Ye head-on, some wooden facial expressions finally smiled, but this smile seemed a little reluctant, but Mo Ye would not be mistaken because of this, because Lu Sheng, who had been 'working' in her family for some years, was usually silent and smiling. His facial expression stiffened slightly, not because he was unhappy, but because he wasn't used to it in the first place.
But when Mo Ye smiled back at Lu Sheng, somehow, this kind of signature expression, which she had usually used very skillfully, became stiff at this time.
She didn't know that this was because Lu Sheng's true identity was revealed in front of her, which made her feel a little confused. First, she felt that Lu Sheng, who had little communication with her, had become more and more strange at this time; Second, he seemed to be the master's person, but now facing him, Mo Ye only felt that there were fewer things that could be exchanged between the two than those who had no fate in the academy. It feels so weird.
Watching Lu Sheng pick up the folded cloth roll on the ground and approach Lin Shan's side, spread it out on the ground with a shake of his hand, and then half-squatted and waited, Mo Ye sighed weakly in his heart again, a little annoyed that he didn't even have the ability to give his master a hand.
But even if she couldn't help, she didn't leave immediately, but even if she stood aside and watched, what she saw afterwards not only did not make her feel bored, but felt extremely strange.
I saw Lin Shanqu fingers tapping lightly on the door, as if he was listening, and then I saw him dip a trumpet in Zhu Mo at intervals and touch it on the door. The movement was very fast, and after a while, a square dot matrix appeared on the door, and on each of the four sides of the dot matrix were two dots left by Lin Shan's vermilion ink.
After Lin Shan finished painting on the door, he turned his head and said to Lu Sheng: "Water chestnut cones, I want eight." ”
Lu Sheng didn't say anything, just nodded, and then his fingers slid some distance on the metal rods strung on the cloth roll, stopping on one of them. Then he quickly pulled out the eight, and at the same time took out a small hammer from the wooden box on the side, and then got up and walked to Lin Shan's side.
Lin Shan took the hammer, and when he scooped up an iron rod that he called a 'water chestnut cone', Lu Sheng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "My lord, do you want me to do it for you?" ”
"Thank you." Lin Shan refused: "In fact, these interiors have long been empty, and it doesn't take much effort to nail the awl in, and this has not been moved for a long time, which is inappropriate, so let me get it myself!" ”
Lu Sheng didn't say anything more when he heard this, and then Lin Shan faced the door panel, grabbed the water chestnut cone, and aimed its sharp end at the place where the vermilion ink was pointed, and smashed the cone half into it with just a light hammer.
It's really as he just said, hammer and cone, this job seems to be extremely simple and easy.
Mo Ye, who was not far away, watched intently, and she soon discovered that when two points on a side line were nailed into the water chestnut cone, the square edge line that was originally just a fiction in her mind actually had a substance, and a crack appeared on the backyard gate that was originally painted with a thin layer of wood paint. She thought of Lin Shan's words just now, and suddenly understood that although this backyard gate was not embedded with a machine spring, it was like an underground eye in the house, and it had a place in advance.
When Lin Shan nailed to the sixth cone, he opened his mouth again and called Lu Sheng to get a crowknife. When all the eight cones were nailed to the door panel, he took the crowknife from Lu Sheng's hand, reached along the cracked side seam, and then pressed it diagonally with his hand.
Mo also saw a square plank fall from the gate, and the edge was as smooth as if it had been sawed by. It's just that Lin Shan's hand didn't scoop the saw, so the sudden fall of the wooden board seemed a little abrupt. And after the plank fell, a square groove appeared on the door.
In this regard, Mo Ye had foreseen it, so although he felt strange, he was not as directly stunned as Lu Sheng.
Lin Shan casually threw down the crowknife, scooped up the wooden box on the ground that Mo Ye had carried over, and lifted the lid with his fingers.
Mo Ye stood a little farther away, and couldn't see in detail what the contents of the box looked like, but she could clearly see that Lu Sheng's facial expression became extremely fast, and then his upper lip moved, and blurted out, "My lord, this is ...... That's what you've done, Heart of the Machine! ”
Lin Shan only smiled at this, and then said calmly: "A heart that has stopped for nearly ten years, I don't know if it can operate again today." ”
He stooped down and took a slender awl from the roll of cloth on the ground, and pointed, pricked, pried, and wiped the edge of the wooden box with no lid. Finely studded wood chips spilled down the box, and two holes appeared in the edge of the box. Lin Shan put the box flat on his hand and rotated to inspect the four sides, and Mo Ye, who was watching from a distance, could also take the opportunity to see that there were two holes on each side of the wooden box.
As if the inspection was finished, Lin Shan held the wooden box with his hand, and then embedded it in the square groove on the door with an extremely serious face.
After that, he reached out and pulled out the water chestnut cone that had been nailed to the door panel.
Every time he pulled out a water chestnut cone, there would be a muffled sound in the door. The awl was actually pierced into the door to block something, and when they were pulled out, an iron pillar ejected from the declination angle blocked by the awl, and then accurately snapped into the hole reserved on the side of the square box in the door, making a 'click' sound.
When Lin Shan's hand pressed on the last water chestnut cone, his hand suddenly stopped for some reason. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation
