Chapter 9: The Begging Festival

There is no time in the mountains, day and night.

Day after day, Chen Zheng has fully adapted to the life of the cottage.

He had even forgotten that he had been taken captive to the mountains.

Usually, when he is idle, he makes furniture for his neighbors in the village, so he has a very good reputation in the cottage.

Through the accumulation of this time, Chen Zheng's carpentry experience has also skyrocketed, and although he needs more and more experience to upgrade, he has still been promoted to level 5.

The feeling of the level 5 boss is very cool, and the furniture he makes is praised by everyone.

Especially Uncle Zhang, who looked at the warehouse, was very satisfied with Chen Zheng.

For no other reason, Chen Zheng saw that Uncle Zhang's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he made a tiger head crutch for him.

The tiger head is majestic and domineering, and Uncle Zhang likes it very much.

In addition to the appearance, the attributes of the tiger head crutch are also quite good.

Delicate Tiger Head Crutches: Shock +8, Stability +10, Swiftness +8

Chen Zheng didn't understand why a crutch had the attribute of being fast, but since Uncle Zhang put on the crutches he made, his actions were indeed much sharper than before.

In recent days, the attentive Chen Zheng has noticed that the women in the village seem to be active.

They gathered together in twos and threes, whispering softly, not knowing what "big things" they were discussing.

And Yue Xiaorong is different, she still goes out early and returns late to practice.

After Yue Xiaorong came back, Chen Zheng pretended to ask casually, "Lady, are there any festivals recently?" I see a lot of excitement in the village. ”

"You can also see that in a few days it will be the Begging Festival." Yue Xiaorong answered, then sat down in front of the mirror and began to make up.

She has become accustomed to combing in front of the mirror table after returning from practice, and the fatigue of the day, as long as she combs her hair, it will all be gone.

Chen Zheng hurriedly counted the days in his heart, and couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't feel that he had spent so many days in the village.

This time, it will be the begging festival soon.

The Qiqiao Festival is the Qixi Festival, which is a very important festival for women.

On this day, women are the biggest, don't have to work, and are happy.

However, Chen Zheng also found that Yue Xiaorong didn't seem to be very interested in this.

Chen Zheng didn't ask why he did the village minister, he didn't even ask, let alone other things!

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng's heart moved, do you want to ask now?

When he first came, he was stopped by Yue Xiaorong's flying hairpin, as well as Wei Dayong's reckless men, so he didn't dare to ask.

But now it's different, he and Yue Xiaorong respect each other like guests, raise their eyebrows, eat a bowl of rice together, sleep in the same bed, what can't they say?

What's more, the two already have an intimate contact of hooking hands!

Chen Zheng coughed lightly and asked, "I have a question that I have always wanted to ask the lady." ”

"What?" Yue Xiaorong looked at Chen Zheng from the reflection of the mirror.

"Why did the lady 'invite' me to be the prime minister?" Chen Zheng asked, inexplicably a little nervous.

He originally wanted to say "catch", but he didn't think it sounded; I want to say "tied", but I feel faceless. So the word "please" was used.

Yue Xiaorong was stunned for a moment, turned around, and said: "There is a reason for the incident, if the Xianggong is not used to living, after a while, he will send the Xianggong down the mountain." ”

"My habit!" Chen Zheng hurriedly said, sleeping in a quilt with a beautiful woman, you must get used to it!

"But can the lady tell me why?" Chen Zheng asked.

Yue Xiaorong stared at Chen Zheng for a long time and said, "Because you are good-looking." ”

At this time, Yue Xiaorong was rarely a little playful, and Chen Zheng was also quite satisfied with this answer, but he was a rational person, and he knew that this was not the best answer?

"There's definitely more to it than that." Chen Zheng said firmly.

Yue Xiaorong pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't think about it, I will definitely guarantee your safety." ”

With that, Yue Xiaorong got up and walked towards the bed.

Chen Zheng was a little confused, to ensure safety? It means that there is danger. You'll have to ask!

"Lady, can you make it clearer." Chen Zheng continued to ask.

"Sleep." Yue Xiaorong had already laid down.

"Lady ......"

"Do you want to come?"

"Oh."

The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, according to this situation, if he asks again, he may not be able to go to bed tonight.

Moments later......

"Lady, I have one more question." Chen Zheng spoke again.

"Xianggong has a lot of problems today." Yue Xiaorong said.

"The last one."

"Just ask."

"I don't think the lady is very interested in the begging festival, why is that?"

"It's boring."

Boring? How is this possible, if the begging festival is not interesting, those women in the stockade will not be so crazy these days.

"I heard that on the Begging Festival, women have to make prayer lanterns, what kind of lady is going to make?" Chen Zheng is not very sleepy and has nothing to say.

Yue Xiaorong was silent, and after a long while, just when Chen Zheng thought she was asleep, she finally spoke.

"I'm not going to do it."

This time it was Chen Zheng's turn to be speechless, who would have thought that Yue Xiaorong, who was beautiful and had a flying hairpin breaking the wall, would not be able to make a prayer lantern!

Women can't make prayer lanterns, just like a scholar who can't pass the show, and can't hold her head up in front of others.

No wonder Yue Xiaorong felt that the begging festival was not interesting, the original reason was here.

As a qualified minister, it is an unshirkable responsibility to solve problems for the lady.

Isn't it just a prayer lantern? Being a good little carpenter is a piece of cake!

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng hooked his fingers and conveyed his meaning to Yue Xiaorong, and he didn't know if the other party could understand it.

Still a night without words.

The next day, Chen Zheng began to prepare.

The prayer lantern he wants to make is not just a lamp, he has to make tricks, so that he can realize his value.

Chen Zheng found a bamboo pole the thickness of an arm and cut it into two sections, one long and one short.

Then, several gears were made out of wooden blocks and assembled into an inverted structure.

This was easy to achieve in Chen Zheng's previous life, all of them were standard parts, and they were bought, but now, every part needs to be done by him personally.

Fortunately, with the addition of the talent of the system craftsman, Chen Zheng can accurately grasp the matching size of each part.

After making the steering mechanism, Chen Zheng went to deal with the two bamboo poles again.

Find the size, open the tenon, the short one opens three, and the long one opens four.

Then, do the support, on which Chen Zheng also carved some moire, which looks more beautiful and elegant.

With that done, the next step is to make the lantern.

The prayer lantern is actually very simple, make a frame, paste colored paper, and it is done.

However, as a craftsman, simple colored paper cannot meet Chen Zheng's requirements.

He's going to paint it himself!
