(793) Misalignment
- After another morning's hard work, after sorting out the two stacks of account books on the table, Shi Yi felt that he still had enough energy to spare, but he didn't stop until it was almost noon. βWww.β I have been Ruan Luo's deputy for a few days, and Shi Yi has gradually adapted to it in the past few days, except for the first few days when he felt his mind fluttering and his fingers twitched.
This is not only a natural reaction of people under high-intensity work, but also related to Shi Yi's continuous self-strengthening exercise in the three years of study.
In fact, at the first moment when he inexplicably came to this era and opened his eyes, Shi Yi felt that his new body was very bad in terms of physical fitness. According to some Zhiwei articles he had read before, the original owner of this body may have been taken advantage of by foreign objects because of his unstable soul during a serious illness. But Shi Yi could clearly feel that even if the illness was cured, the fragility of this body's physical strength was still clear, and it seemed that the soul and spirit were exchanged for something that could happen at any time.
Shi Yi came, of course he didn't allow himself to be "taken away" by another person, even if this kind of thing was only in the hypothetical stage.
So when Shi Yi left Kyoto three years ago to study at the school, in addition to his daily schoolwork, he spent the rest of his time exercising. Fortunately, with Dongfeng Lou's extremely generous funding, fortunately, this body is still in the growth stage, Shi Yi eats a lot of food every day, and maintains 50 push-ups, 30,000 meters of running, and 100 frog jumps every day.
If it weren't for the flexibility of his ten fingers, he might have practiced the boxing he was good at in his previous life. Since he wanted to start a business business, in this era without computers, if he wanted to make a good calculation, he had to maintain his hands and ten fingers as flexibly as he could play Chopard.
And these exercises other than boxing are actually the result of half of the training he has done in his previous life. He felt that he was still just a teenager, and if he practiced a body of lumpy muscles, it would be too attractive. In this way, after three years, it turned out that the body had truly fit with his strange soul.
The problem of the misalignment of body and mind was solved, and Shi Yi began to think about another problem. What limits might be encountered in the extension of this new phase of his destiny? Use what you have learned in your own soul's memory. It is also misplaced with the environment of this era. What he was used to in the previous life, there is nothing in this life, but he is an adult. But walking in the world environment of this life, it is like a newborn child, there are too many new things that he does not understand and cannot accept.
Shi Yi often asked himself silently, was Shi Yi in this life arranged by fate a long time ago? But there is no guide on what can be done and what cannot be done.
This era seems to have nothing to do with his previous life, and many of the events recorded in the history books of the previous life have no traces in the history books of this life, so it seems. Even if he has made up something in this era, it seems that he will not lead history to be tampered with, and then he will be erased by the self-healing power of history.
In this way, this era may be an excellent environment for oneself to use the advanced scientific and technological knowledge he mastered in his previous life to stir up shocking achievements.
But Shi Yi had one last suspicion about this, he was not sure where he was in the chain of history. He was still alive in his previous life. A certain academic community has been debating whether prehistoric civilizations exist or not. If, according to those scholars, the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties were not the pioneers of human civilization, and there was still an era of civilization in the first few thousand years BC, and he happened to be active in the rudiments of this era now, then he could not move casually.
Assuming that this prehistoric era really exists, then its later destruction can probably be attributed to natural disasters and ** these two possibilities.
If it is a natural disaster such as a meteorite group. If you crush all the creatures on the earth, then no matter how much you tinker with it before this, it will not change the final historical trend, so it should not touch a hidden prohibition in time and space.
But if it is the first to destroy the world, then before this catastrophe comes, or indirectly prompt some weapons of mass destruction to be manufactured in advance. Accelerating the speed of human cannibalism, or influencing what institutional order has been changed, delaying the arrival of **, these are all actions that may change the axis of history.
So what exactly is prehistory now? Or is it a new stage of history that has also fallen in the twenty-first century? Or maybe you're not on the same Earth with five oceans at all, but in another galaxy. A new environment suitable for human life on the planet?

β¦β¦
After a detailed examination of Ruan Luo, the results given by Ye Zhengming made Wang Zhe feel more at ease and satisfied.
And Ye Zhengming's advice, such as moving around more, exercising more, and not relying too much on bed rest, made Ruan Luo feel more gratified.
Later, Ye Zhengming also carefully provided several ingredients for Ruan Luo to try, so that he could get a little rid of the 'five-flavor porridge' that resembles childish food.
After the examination, Ye Zhengming also patiently taught Ruan Luo a set of slow boxing, and suggested that according to his physical feelings, he may not need to practice every day, but it is best to practice until he sweats slightly.
After doing this qiΔ and resting for a while, Ruan Luo went out of the house for a walk, while Ye Zhengming pulled Wang Zhe out of the living room.
He had some things he wanted to ask, but because he had always done things with clear priorities and good control, he couldn't help but ask until all the things within his duties as a physician were cleared at this moment.
However, when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.
Wang Zhe looked at Ye Zhengming, who wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking about it, he said: "Uncle Ye, if you have any questions, just ask, you and my uncle and nephew are commensurate outside the palace." β
Ye Zhengming hesitated for a moment, first sighed lightly, and then asked, "Second Highness is sick, why don't you go back to the palace to see him?" β
Although Wang Zheyan is obviously informal, when it comes to another prince, Ye Zhengming still does not call him by his name.
In addition, Wang Zhe himself also felt that the Ye family in front of him, who meant a lot to their Wang family, seemed to have kept a distance from the people of their Wang family, which was reflected in the unambiguous etiquette and humility inside and outside the palace.
No matter how many times he reminded him openly and secretly, Ye Zhengming was still very rigid in a certain aspect.
"That's what you're going to say." Wang Zhe was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "The matter on my side has not been cleared up, and it is not convenient to enter and leave the palace frequently. In the letter to my second brother, I also explained that he also expressed his understanding of my approach. β
Ye Zhengming was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone became a little cold: "'Your business' refers to Ruan Luo, right?" β
Wang Zhe felt a slight change in Ye Zhengming's tone, but he didn't make a sound. It's just that when he looked at Ye Zhengming, a trace of doubt rose in his eyes.
Ye Zhengming took a deep breath and said slowly: "Second Highness is your brother, this is different from between you and Ruan Luo. Your Highness expressed your understanding in the letter. That's also because he takes care of you as a brother, including the idea of taking care of you. β
Hearing what he said, Wang Zhe could understand the reason for the slight difference in his tone just now.
Because of this, Ye Zhengming's words to Wang Zhe became the words of a courtier who cared for and admonished the younger ones, rather than what he had in mind.
Wang Zhe nodded, his eyes were cast far away, and at the same time, his faintly tense heart was slightly relaxed, and he said in a deep voice: "When the things here settle down, I will enter the palace to live for a while." Accompany the second brother well. β
After a pause, he turned his face again, looked at Ye Zhengming, and asked, "What is the cause of my second brother...... What did Uncle Ye hear? β
"Even you weren't alarmed, so naturally there is no such thing as a strict result." Ye Zhengming's face softened. replied: "Actually, he is in a similar situation to Ruan Luo this morning, that is, he is obsessed with reading, and a bowl of soup is drunk from hot to cold, and people still don't realize it, but the body really can't stand it." β
"It's as simple as that?" Wang Zhe was surprised, obviously he had great doubts about this result in his heart. Then he asked, "Isn't there a palace maid by his side all the time?" β
"Maybe it's because she relied too much on the palace maid's care, and the palace maid was negligent for a while. The Second Highness had an accident because of this. Ye Zhengming shook his head slightly, and said, "That palace maid...... I heard that it was going to be killed with a cane, and later the second palace went down to intercede, and the palace maid was able to escape death, beat twenty boards, and drove out of the palace. β
Wang Zhe was silent for a moment. Then he sighed lightly and said, "The second brother is still so weak-minded. β
Ye Zhengming said calmly: "Do you also think that palace maid should be killed with a cane?" β
Wang Zhe glanced at him sideways, smiled sideways, and said, "I'm talking about interceding for the palace maid, and I can ask others to do it." β
Ye Zhengming nodded. There was a thoughtful look on his face, and he didn't speak again.
Ye Zhengming was silent for a long time, and Wang Zhe didn't speak again-perhaps, he deliberately waited for Ye Zhengming to speak again? Because although Ye Zhengming was silent, there was obviously something hidden in his eyes.
Sure enough, Ye Zhengming endured it, but he still couldn't help but say the mystery in his heart: "Mo Ye and Ruan Luo live together, is this really appropriate?" β
His simple sentence has actually exposed a lot of problems in front of Wang Zhe.
"Uncle Ye already knows about Mo Ye?" Wang Zhe looked at Ye Zhengming with novelty.
Ye Zhengming thought about it, and only replied a few words: "I already know." β
Although his answer was brief, it was in this simple and clear way that he answered all the questions that Wang Zhe had asked and those that had not yet been asked.
Wang Zhe got this answer, and sure enough, he didn't ask anything else, but smiled and said, "This is my father's decision." β
Wang Zhe's answer is also very simple, but it is also very convincing.
His father is also Mo Ye's father, and the decisions made by his father for his children are beyond any doubt to outsiders.
But Ye Zhengming didn't completely agree with it in his heart, because the father Wang Zhe said also had an identity - the emperor.
But precisely because he is the emperor, although Ye Zhengming has doubts, he is more and more powerless to change anything.
In the pavilion, when the conversation between Ye Zhengming and Wang Zhe reached this point, they fell silent together. Then the two became more and more silent, until the maid came to summon them to the dining room, and when supper was about to begin, the two did not talk about anything else, but humbly went together.
When he came to the dining room, he saw that the tables, chairs and dishes in the hall were neatly placed, but he didn't see anyone else, so Wang Zhe immediately called Bai Tao and asked her to urge others.
Bai Tao first went to Mo Ye's bedroom to look for it, but the bedroom was empty, but she saw a book on the dresser, which was the travelogue that Mo Ye borrowed from Ruan Luo.
Bai Tao had not intended to touch Mo Ye's things, but in the next moment, her eyes noticed a piece of paper sandwiched between the pages of the book, only a corner of which was exposed, and her thoughts suddenly changed in an instant.
She walked over to the dresser, opened the book, went straight to the page where the paper was clamped, and opened the paper folded in half.
On the white paper, only sixteen words were written briefly, but when I read the last four words. A hint of intrigue suddenly rose in Bai Tao's eyes.
Aside from the slightest change, her eyes remained calm.
Soon, she folded the paper back into its original form and put it in the book and clamped it. Before leaving. She pondered for a moment, peeking out the corner of the paper beyond the pageβjust as she had just walked in and saw the bookβand put the book down, and she left Mo Ye's bedroom.
Later, Bai Tao found the house where the carriage was placed, and was about to pass by when he heard a burst of laughter and frolicking.
She heard that the people she was looking for seemed to be inside, and as soon as she stepped into the yard with her front feet, she saw Yang Chen, who was holding a big brush in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your hands are more tender than turnips, so the horses like it, so I want to be closer to you." β
"Of course my hands are tenderer than these hollow old turnips." Then he opened his mouth and collided with Yang Chen. The person who was quite reserved in his words was the little girl that Dr. Ye brought with him.
Bai Tao remembered that this girl was Ye Nuonuo, the daughter of Doctor Ye.
Ye Nuonuo's hand, which was "tenderer than the hollow old radish", was being held by Mo Ye, who was squatting beside her, and rubbed it repeatedly with a handkerchief, while Mo Ye was still telling her: "That's it." Don't think about feeding the horses anymore, I'm worried. β
Ye Nuonuo bit her lower lip and glanced at Ruan Luo, who was more than a head taller than her, and said with surprise in her eyes: "Strange, why can't I always be like you?" Is it because you have a 'Luo' character in your name that sounds like radish? In that case, I have it too, and I have two more. β
Hearing her straightforward and immature words, Ruan Luo couldn't help but sigh. After thinking about it, he said to Ye Nuonuo: "Because I was born in Luohe County, my father gave me this name, but it has nothing to do with radish. β
Ye Nuono blinked and asked without thinking, "It's too casual to take the name wherever you were born, right?" β
Ruan Luo didn't care, only smiled and said, "Father wants me to be like the inexhaustible Luohe." A peaceful life. β
He seldom mentions that he was born in the midst of war, and that his swaddling clothes were bumpy chariots.
During that time, he was a strategist next to the general, and later a military advisor. When his father faced all kinds of male ambitions, he only expected the word 'peace' for his newborn son.
At this time, he said this sentence, and the interpretation of his name was immediately on the table, and even Ye Nuonuo could already feel something different from the literal meaning.
Ye Nuonuo stretched out a finger and picked up his little pointed chin, and unconsciously said his name: "My father named me 'Nuo' because he hoped that I would grow into a sincere person." But he also said that the name he originally meant for a boy, but then I was born, it was a girl, and he didn't change the name, and he called me like this since I was a child, and gradually it was settled. β
She didn't realize that, according to her, it seemed that the origin of her name was not much more serious than that of Ruan Luo's name.
Ruan Luo didn't remember what she had just said, but when she heard her say the word 'honesty', she had a little feeling in her heart, nodded and said gently: "Whether it is a man or a woman, it is no obstacle to being a 'sincere person', and Doctor Ye's expectations for you are no less than that of a boy." β
Ye Nuonuo pursed his lips and said, "Then he also sent me to the women's school early to learn those red tapes." β
Her words were not evaluated by Ruan Luo again, because Ruan Luo's attention had been diverted by Bai Tao, who had just walked into the courtyard.
Knowing that dinner had been prepared in the kitchen, everyone who was playing around with Ruan Luo also put down their work and went to the dining room with Bai Tao.
β¦β¦
Today's dinner at the Song Mansion had a very harmonious and lively atmosphere. And the source of this excitement is because of Ye Nuonuo's existence, she can really be the first to do it.
Fortunately, the Song family is not a scholarly family, although the family style is there, there is no stereotype, and some changes can be made in a specific environment for the rules at the dinner table. At the dinner table, there are almost all people of the same generation who are close in age, and the topics are very compatible with each other.
The only person with a higher rank is Ye Zhengming, but he once had the name of the prodigal son, and now although he has restrained his heart, he still has a playful heart.
Ruan Luo's physical condition was not suitable for drinking, so he generously took out the good wine treasured by the Song family to entertain guests. Ye Zhengming doesn't need to go back to the Taiyi Bureau on an errand for the time being, and he is at home for a few days, and he is mentally idle. A few cups of spicy soup into his stomach, the drunken meaning was just right, and he didn't care about his daughter playing with a few juniors at the dinner table.
He thought: these children really want to trace their ancestors. It's almost all related, so let them go!
Following Brother Zhe, Ye Nuonuo recognized Brother Luo again.
According to common sense, today is the first time she and Ruan Luo have officially met. The relationship shouldn't have progressed so quickly, but Ruan Luo didn't bother with it. Maybe he only thought that Ye Nuonuo was similar to Mo Ye's existence zΓ i, and didn't treat this matter too strictly!
In addition, Ye Zhengming did not object to this, his views on this matter are somewhat similar to Ruan Luo, that is, for Wang Zhe's sake, since her daughter can be so close to Wang Zhe, then she and Ruan Luo are also familiar, it is not too much, and she has not thought too much about other issues.
However, Wang Zhe saw this matter more thoroughly. It's nothing more than Ye Nuonuo's girl who will inevitably come to Ruan Luo to disturb her in the future, if Ye Zhengming gets angry, she also has a refuge closer than the first sister in the palace.
This girl will only be extra wise when dealing with the things that matter to her heart.
Wang Zhe looked at Ye Nuonuo and Mo Ye, who were putting vegetables into each other's bowls. After thinking about it, he finally didn't pick out his little discovery.
He didn't mind Ruan Luo's friendship with this girl, and since they met and everyone opened up the relationship, this development trend was a foregone conclusion, so he was willing to indulge this little girl's careful thinking.
If an ordinary woman was so eager to approach Ruan Luo, even if there was no difference in life experience, Wang Zhe would not let his guard down. Because such a woman is afraid that it will only bring trouble to Ruan Luo.
But Yeno is a special depository.
Wang Zhe suddenly had an idea in his heart, Ye Nuonuo, as the daughter of a doctor, was more or less exposed to some of Ye Zhengming's skills, and staying by Ruan Luo's side might also be a help.
Finally the thought turned to himself, thinking that he was going to leave Kyoto again in a short time. His gaze drooped slightly, and his gaze fell into the wine glass in his hand.
All the lamps in the dining room have been lit and are well lit. Wang Zhe flicked his finger lightly on the wine glass, and in the fine white porcelain wine glass, the clear wine rippled. It's shallow, but you can see it clearly. Wang Zhe stared at it, as if he saw the lake waves in the sun.
After being idle for a long time, the task of testing himself is coming, and he will leave this table of respectable and lovely people and go west. Maybe three years, maybe five years, he might have the opportunity to meet everyone again. He hoped that this group of people would be able to get closer, and not before he could come back, the table would have already 'dispersed'.
Having traveled all over the world and experienced a lot of sorrow, it should not be easy for him to regenerate this kind of feeling, but today, with parting imminent, he still can't help but feel a trace of sorrow in his heart for these people at the same table.
Maybe it's because there are so many people he cares about here!
Not only did the incident of 'Ye Nuonuo recognize his brother' break out at the dinner table, but also the incident of 'Wang Zhe's acceptance of his little sister', which finally evolved into the incident of 'Mo and Ye sisters worshipped'.
Of course, this bowing ceremony is not very formal, just bowing to each other in the dining room.
The relationship seems to be messed up, but it's messed up in a mess. These changes in the situation gradually raised the atmosphere in the room, and also diluted Wang Zhe's worries.
Wang Zhe drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then turned the wine glass upside down and pushed it aside, he was not ready to drink anymore, and he also temporarily deducted a file in his heart, and then threw himself into the 'great cause' of teasing Ye Nuonuo.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, Ye Nuonuo observed his father drinking slowly at the table from time to time. She wasn't worried that her father would reprimand her for making a fuss at the dinner table - in fact, the meal was almost over, Ye Zhengming's face was still calm, obviously just a way to let it go-and leave it alone-and Ye Nuonuo's heart was actually another thing.
She really wanted to say that Mo Ye had saved her life in the lively atmosphere of swearing with Mo Ye today, but she was worried about her father's presence, and the princess who fell into the water with her that day, saying this might really make her father furious, so she could only endure it and bury this matter in her heart again.
In short, although the ritual of the worship is simple, Yenono himself takes it very seriously.
This dinner, because of the successive appearance of these 'shows', the theme of the meal was almost lost. After the meal, seeing that the time was not early, Ye Zhengming's father and daughter didn't have time to delay more, and as soon as they left the dinner table, they boarded the carriage prepared by Yang Chen at the door.
At the time of parting, Mo Ye finally remembered the matter of the medicine candy under the reminder of Ruan Luo's gaze.
It happened that Ye Zhengming was also present and listened to Mo Ye's search. After only a little consideration, he agreed. In addition, Ye Nuonuo also patted his chest on the spot, and promised to send some of the Ye family's sugar reserves the next day.
Bid farewell to the Ye family's father and daughter. The night was getting darker, but Wang Zhe had no intention of leaving. Then Mo Ye knew that Wang Zhe was going to stay here tonight, because he was still a little uneasy, afraid that it would happen again in the morning.
Wang Zhe was relieved, but Mo Ye was a little uneasy.
Seeing that the lights were still on in the study, I didn't know what Wang Zhe and Ruan Luo were still talking about, so they didn't stop. Mo Ye turned around and walked to his bedroom, thinking about the person who was coming tonight, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
I don't know if Wu Shu and Wang Zhe meet. What will happen?
Wang Zhe should know about this, right? Even if it does, it shouldn't be anything, right?
As she thought of this, she felt a strange wind blow above her head. She subconsciously raised her head slightly, and saw a black shadow flashing.
She was taken aback at first, but she quickly realized a problem. He quickly calmed down again.
This black shadow is Wu Shu.
How did he come so early today? There was a hint of surprise in Mo Ye's eyes.
Wu Shu's figure had just settled in front of Mo Ye, and he quickly said, "Come out with me." β
Although there were doubts in his heart, Mo Ye did not hesitate at all, nodded, and approached Wu Shu.
Wu Shu's arm reached out, which was supposed to be buckled on her shoulder. But he suddenly hesitated again, and his gesture was slightly off...... Immediately, Mo Ye felt that her body was light, and the next moment, she had left the Song Mansion with Wu Shu's brisk body.
When Wu Shu took Mo Ye into the air, in the study not far from where they were standing, Wang Zhe also felt a trace of strangeness. Although he rarely shows it. But he does have good martial arts, which is also the necessary ability for him to dare to travel alone in all directions as a prince.
At this time, Ruan Luo, who was sitting with him, was completely unaware and continued to talk about his doubts.
"Brother Wang, in fact, I've always been a little curious and want to ask, why do you call yourself the third brother in front of Mo Ye?" Ruan Luo looked at Wang Zhe. His eyes lit up slightly, and after a pause, he said, "Is there any special significance?" Or rather, why do you need to sort it? Everyone just met in the water. β
"Because I'm third." Wang Zhe's answer was very simple, so simple that it seemed to be a little insincere, as if it was perfunctory.
In fact, he really didn't want to answer this question, and in addition, when Ruan Luo asked, Wang Zhe's mind was attracted by a strange movement outside the house, so he answered more distractedly.
"I know you're in third ......," Ruan Luo said abruptly, as he realized a new problem.
This issue has nothing to do with Mo Ye, but if he wants to mention it, it seems to be a bit out of the rules, but this problem is a certain situation that the people of the Wang family must face in the future.
Therefore, as Wang Zhe's close friend, Ruan Luo finally asked this question after hesitating for a while: "Brother Wang, about that matter, is His Majesty still undecided?" β
"What's the matter?" While Wang Zhe asked rhetorically, the originally faint smile on his face gradually sank.
He wanted to deviate from Ruan Luo's thoughts, thinking that Ruan Luo was mentioning something about Mo Ye - when would his father let Mo Ye be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, this is something that he, as a son, is taboo to mention - but he was confused for a while, Ruan Luo didn't know Mo Ye's true identity at all!
Seeing that his friend's complexion suddenly changed, Ruan Luo also felt a little surprised.
However, he didn't realize what Wang Zhe was thinking, only when he saw his normal reaction after seeing his foreign family mentioning the royal family, so after a little hesitation, he continued: "It's a pity that His Royal Highness died young, but the deceased is gone, so we have to make more arrangements for the living." β
Wang Zhe can be regarded as having come to his senses, his face softened slightly, he sighed deeply, and said: "I am afraid that only my father can untie this knot." After all, it was my eldest brother who died, and what strength did I have to persuade my father to let go. β
Ruan Luo nodded in understanding and didn't say anything more.
Wang Zhe fell into silence, and he also had several concerns about the royal family's family affairs, and he needed to find someone to confide in.
After a while, he said softly again: "After my father inherited my grandfather's imperial business, we were busy with affairs, and my second brother and I haven't mentioned this matter yet, and we still use our previous titles. My father is in full bloom, and if I don't think about these now, I don't care. β
β¦β¦
Mo Ye thinks that she can remember the road she has walked relatively clearly, but she is only interested in the route that Wu Shu took her. She could barely make out the direction.
In addition to the fact that Wu Shu's speed of action is too fast, but also because the routes that Wu Shu is used to taking are all deserted. It seems that he is used to avoiding crowds in everything he does.
When the feet fall to the ground. Mo Ye was able to see that Wu Shu led her into a courtyard. This yard is not big, and it is full of all kinds of sundries, and it seems that the vacant space is even narrower.
And it wasn't until Mo Ye's eyes turned to the doorway in the backyard that connected to the house in front of him, and recognized who the person who was squatting in the corner of the door, swinging a small sheep's horn hammer and beating an iron tool, that Mo Ye suddenly understood where he was now.
Wu Shu and Cheng Xu are old acquaintances, but when he saw him, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he said in a not very kind tone: "Why haven't you left yet?" β
Oh, yes. It is estimated that it has reached this hour, and Lao Cheng's grocery store should close half an hour ago.
The grocery store is not the kind of glamorous shop that waits all night, and the indoor light is dim after dark, and customers who want to buy groceries will avoid visiting the store at this time of day because of the psychology of buying defective products. Grocery stores are therefore in demand from customers. There is no habit of staying open until night.
And Cheng Xu opened a grocery store, not all to make money, he also has another identity and responsibility, so that he can't be like an ordinary grocery store owner, processing and adding points in the store for a long time.
Of course, Wu Shu asked Xiang Cheng Xu this mainly because. Just now, he came to the grocery store when it was about to close, and made an appointment with Cheng Xu to borrow the store for a few hours.
This 'borrowing' refers to lending alone, Cheng Xu agreed to come down at that time, but now he is still here.
Hearing Wu Shu's voice, Cheng Xu did not turn his head to look. Still raising the hammer in his hand, he struck a coulter with his other hand on the anvil.
The grocery store is equipped with tools, so in addition to selling groceries, the store sometimes takes on a small business of repairing farm tools. At this time, Cheng Xu made the coulter struck by the small hammer, and the bladeless blunt mouth was slightly crooked. It seems to have been caused by the farmer plowing the field when the plow hit a stone in the soil.
When a farmer reclaims wasteland, he must have a good coulter to save effort and time when turning the soil. Some farmers' coulters can be used by generations of descendants, which are cast by spending some silver to buy fine iron, and a slight bump will not affect the iron, but it is also necessary to be diligent in daily maintenance.
Like the coulter that Cheng Xu is beating, if it is sent to the blacksmith for correction just because it is crooked, the blacksmith there will swing a few big hammers and smash it down, although it is fast, but it may not be as exquisite as Cheng Xu's work slowly hammered out with a small hammer, and the repair cost of the blacksmith will be slightly higher.
It can be seen that the owner of this coulter cherishes it very much, so he chooses to send it to the grocery store for repair. However, Wu Shu looked at Cheng Xu's careful beating, but he understood another question in his heart.
Cheng Xu is working so a coulter, it is very likely that he is thinking about something else. In the past, even if he was willing to take such a job, he didn't bother to do it, so he let the guy who worked in the grocery store during the day do it.
Hearing Wu Shu's familiar footsteps approaching, the hammer in Cheng Xu's hand suddenly smashed heavily on the coulter, and then lifted his palm and threw the hammer aside.
He stood up and said a little casually, "The shop is closed, and the door is closed." β
Seeing that Cheng Xu threw the hammer and stopped beating, Wu Shugang also stood still when he took a step. Facing Cheng Xu's eyes, Wu Shu saw more and more clearly the meaning of the words in his eyes.
After meeting Wu Shu's gaze, Cheng Xu raised his hand holding the coulter, and his gaze was slightly off, falling on the edge of the coulter that had been knocked out with a small hammer and had become shiny like a sharp edge. As soon as his eyes froze, he saw that the deformed position had been knocked back to its original shape, and the edges were already parallel to each other, so he threw it again.
The coulter fell to the ground, and accidentally hit the hammer he threw on the ground, making a somewhat piercing sound of metal clashing, and I don't know if the plow was knocked out of a slight notch.
Cheng Xu didn't care at all, his eyes were fixed, it seemed that in his eyes, the coulter was really just an excuse and plaything for him to stay here.
Seeing that Wu Shu didn't speak, standing a few steps away and didn't move again, Cheng Xu suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, but there was still no smile in his eyes. He tied his hands behind his back, slowly approached Wu Shu, and said calmly: "I'm curious, I want to see what you are going to do with this shop." β
"Why didn't you just ask me when I came to you to discuss?" Wu Shu watched Cheng Xu slowly approach, and felt that he seemed to be a little different from his usual appearance, but he didn't think of where his strange aura was for a while.
