Before the explosion, Na Shusen was busy with Xiong Zhang, Lei Xiao, Zhen Mei, Zheng Tian, Tang Du, Zhu Chen, and others in the school yard, preparing the banquet and utensils for Li Xiang's wedding.

Zhen Mei is Zhen Honest's old wife. She is too old to do heavy work, but she refuses to be idle.

Dozens of big girls and little daughters-in-law were called over by Zhen Mei's family, and they sat around chattering and cutting colored paper into various shapes.

Xiong Zhang is Xiong Dachun's wife, and is called "Aunt Xiong" by the younger generations and the villagers of average status. Lei Xiao is Lei Cheng's wife, known as "Aunt Lei".

Xiong Zhang and Lei Xiao were informal, generous, and had a very high status in the mountains, undertaking most of the preparations.

Tang Du is the wife of Tang Guohao, and Zheng Tian is the widow of a brand leader who died fighting for Li Xiang. Zhu Chen's family is the continuation of Zhu Lao'er, and his family is an old qualification, and he can speak in the mountains.

Zheng Tian, Tang Du and Zhu Chen worked together for Xiong Zhang and Lei Xiao.

Zhu Lao Er asked the two middle-aged men to carry down the big iron pot on the brick and mud stove. The white steam was steaming, the fragrance was wafting for ten miles, and a bowl of hot wild boar was brought to the tree.

Na Shusen copied a chopstick, and stuffed it in his mouth after a few breaths. He savored it for a while, nodded his head, and muttered:

"Uh-huh, not bad. It's better than putting it on the pot, it's much better. ”

"There are now more than 10,000 people on the mountain roads on both sides of the small valley. Although it will not starve to death, most of the people will not see meat for ten or ten days and a half months. ”

"The owner of the village has mercy on the poor people. Deliberately at the time of the wedding, that, let everyone taste and taste the meat. But can't, that, shame on you! ”

A dozen or so children who had just rolled in the mud were dirty, and their eyes were staring at the trees. Smelling the rich smell of meat, the saliva of individual children began to soak the land......

Hearing the sound of belly rumbling, Na Shusen turned around and was startled by dozens of pairs of big sparkling eyes.

Na Shusen had suffered from exile when he was a child, and he couldn't stand the longing eyes of children the most. He put down the bowl and said to Zhu Laoer:

"Uncle Zhu, cook a few more pigs and mention the taste again. The cooked meat is divided in small wooden bowls for the children to satisfy their cravings and recorded in my account......"

In this era when ordinary people can't eat meat a few times a year, five pigs are a lot of money.

Zhu Laoer, who was wielding a pig-killing knife, was unhappy, put down the knife and said, "What is recorded in your account?" Although my second Zhu family is not thick, can't I afford to invite a doll to eat meat? ”

Xiong Zhang's family, Lei Xiao's family, and Zhen Mei's family heard Zhu Lao'er say this, and they also asked to join in.

Zhu Laoer's fat mother-in-law, Zhu Chen, was unhappy, but she remembered the Cold War in the past few days, and didn't dare to let Zhu Laoer be embarrassed in broad daylight again.

So on the day before Li Xiang's wedding, nearly 2,000 children under the age of 10 and over the age of 2 ate with oil on their faces. As for the cost, some families pay an average of two dollars.

Na Shusen turned his head to look at the improvised pig killing house in the corner, and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle, how are the boys who signed up to see blood doing?"

Every pig had to be killed in advance. Then remove the internal organs, blanch the boiling water, apply it with salt, and store it in a cool cellar for a few hours.

It is obvious to all how much a planned killing will be beneficial to the growth of young people. Kill chickens and ducks first, then kill pigs to raise, and then fight with the enemy...... The boy who has seen blood is not afraid to fight. As long as you kill small animals first and then big animals, it is not easy to leave a psychological shadow.

Except, of course, for those who are naturally cowardly and those who faint blood.

After all, there are only a few people who can open meat from time to time and let children see blood by the way. Most of the young people go out to make a living, and they can only come up and fight with others, and their performance at the beginning is naturally very poor, and they are too far from the children of middle and upper class families.

There are too few places to see blood in the public middle school. So taking advantage of the opportunity to slaughter a large number of pigs and sheep, the public middle school temporarily decided that as long as there is a yellow household registration, everyone can sign up, so that young people can kill pigs and see blood.

More than a dozen blood-stained young men came out of the pig killing house.

Na Shusen clearly saw that several young men were trembling. There were two children, fat and thin, sitting on the ground crying and vomiting, and a tall and thin guy was supported by his companions, and he couldn't support it.

Zhu Lao Er narrowed his eyes and said, "These teenagers are hard enough." ”

"They were all scared to kill such a big pig. But just hold on and stick the knife into the throat together! Blood spurted all over his body, and he had to pull it out......"

"The people at the bottom have momentum. Unlike families who no longer lack food and clothing, the adopted son is much weaker than before. Look at it, when these teenagers go out, there will be more and more people who catch up, and the old qualified people can't forget to work hard! ”

Nashumori nodded in agreement. He suddenly had an inspiration:

The teenagers of the low-level families are limited to resources, and they can only kill a pig with a dozen people, which is really a good way. Why not promote it in the public and in general? It can strengthen the sense of cooperation, and it can also increase the number of blood spots several times!

Na Shusen turned his head, wanting to share his thoughts, but suddenly felt the ground shake.

"Boom~~~"

A dull loud bang was heard, and the gas that suddenly expanded hundreds of times spread the dust to a radius of hundreds of meters. The tree forest could clearly see some wood, masonry, and debris flying into the air.

Some of the children who were eating meat were crying in fright. The eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law who were working panicked and hugged each other in twos and threes.

"It's the fireworks workshop that was just built!"

Zhu Lao Er took out a sharp knife from under the table and said to Cheng Jianghai.

Cheng Jianghai was so angry that he trembled all over, and his stuttering actually improved again. I saw him take a short spear, gritted his teeth and said:

"Needless to say, it must be Lin Xue who uses this plague thief to pinch the bird!"

Those who walk on the road, those who work in the workshops, those who are busy with tomorrow's wedding...... Hearing the movement, no matter what they were doing, the mountain people pulled out their weapons from all kinds of strange places and rushed towards the place where the explosion had occurred.

Li Xiang appeared at the gate of the test site, protected by disabled veterans and personal guards. He muttered:

"It's amazing. The new fireworks workshop has not yet been produced, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't have exploded, who is it? ”

Li Xiang, who was busy with everything, had completely forgotten about Lin Xueyong. By the time he arrived at the scene, Na Shusen had already preliminarily cleared the rubble, eliminating the risk of fire and the risk of another explosion.

The mountain people with knives, guns, axes, flails, sticks, and hammers automatically divided into teams of ten people and stood in the corner of the Zhuang Ding that spread out in formation.

"Why is this still foam? What the hell is going on? ”

"I don't know, it's not going to be a good thing anyway. I don't know if it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, if someone deliberately makes trouble when the owner of the village is about to get married, hum...... I have to let that guy taste my old high, what's this called? That's right, boring palladium! ”

"Zi, virtue? It's still Lao Tzu's mace! But then again, the families who built this workshop are really miserable, and they have to cry to death......"

The assembled mountain people were whispering.

Zhuang Ding, who was on duty, had a serious face and didn't say a word.

Some children saw that their father was very handsome in a gray and black military uniform, and ran over to hug him with drooling, but after failing to succeed, he cried and his little shoulders trembled.

Li Xiang, dressed in iron armor and wearing a steel helmet, went to the mouth of the water well surrounded by dozens of personal guards.

Looking at Lin Xueyong, who was pulled up from the well, Li Xiang's eyes twitched and said:

"You, not hurt at all?"

Lin Xueyong glanced at the ruins around him, scratched his head, and said truthfully: "When the gunpowder was about to explode, I pulled the rope and went down into the water. There was some discomfort in the chest and abdomen, but it was not injured. ”

Na Shusen said twice: "You are not injured, but you blew up a workshop the day before the wedding." The people who built the workshop were killed by you! ”

The attitude of the mountain people towards Lin Xueyong, a foreigner from Bianjing, is very complicated.

Lin Xueyong is very talented, and in less than two months after coming to Mingyuezhuang, he made several different colors of fireworks, and also innovatively made military fireworks that can be carried in the rain.

When Li Xiang was in Jiangnan, he also wrote a letter praising the fireworks workshop.

But Lin Xueyong is too good to toss. He used his small salary and raw materials deducted from the assembly line to insist on gunpowder research, causing several explosions and even causing a fire in the middle of the night......

"Lin Xueyong, who killed a thousand knives, Lao Tzu provoked you to provoke you?!"

"Lao Tzu spent most of his family to build the core workshop. If you don't see it, you will let the thief who doesn't care about the sky, doesn't collect the earth, and the thief who should be cut will be in trouble! ”

Li Xiang listened to the crying and scolding of several families not far away, and felt a little difficult to do. Lin Dayou and Lin Xueyong are in their family, but they have a good relationship with the eldest sister's family, so they can't be killed, right?

After thinking about it, Ma Rulan asked Ma Chaobei to bring a letter, saying that it was enough to leave Liu Xue with one life.

Fortunately, most of the mountain people are busy with tomorrow's wedding, and there is no one in the new gunpowder workshop that has not yet been put into production. The nearby mountain people were affected by the blast, and only those who were injured were not killed.

It's good that there are no dead people!

Li Xiang exhaled and decided to pay compensation himself, and sent Lin Xue to the back mountain to make gunpowder with this troublemaker.

Lin Xueyong thought that Li Xiang was going to punish him severely, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, Brother Li Xiang." ”

"Don't kill me, don't hit me. The most powerful gunpowder I made is the Bianjing Gate, and I can blow it up for you! ”

"What did you say, you thief?!" The tree's hairs stood on end, and he shouted loudly and fluently. The sound is somewhat distorted.

Dozens of guards and carpenters, Lei Cheng, Radar, Four-Eyed Boy and others were frightened by Lin Xueyong, who thought of what to say, and doubted their lives.

When Li Xiang heard the statement of "blowing up the city gate", he was shocked. He picked up a little residual gunpowder from the ground and found that the gunpowder that Lin Xueyong had made turned out to be a particle gunpowder slightly larger than a millet grain!

Li Xiang, who was scratching thousands of paws in his heart, pulled Lin Xueyong aside and asked in detail about the entire process of making this black and bright particle gunpowder.

Li Xiang's final punishment for Lin Xueyong for disrupting his wedding, blowing up the fireworks workshop, and almost killing and injuring the mountain people was: sign a ten-year long contract, go to the back mountain to study gunpowder, and can't go out of the back mountain for ten years!

Lin Xueyong relied on himself and used the very few resources saved by the deduction to make a particle gunpowder that was much better than the "semi-finished product" that Li Xiang spent thousands of times researching! The most terrifying thing is that Liu Xueyong can figure out a full set of production equipment, as well as supporting production processes and precautions by himself......

Tears!

Li Xiang burst into tears in his heart. After coming to Da Zhou for so long, I have been working hard for several years, and finally met a genius!

In Li Xiang's eyes, Lin Xueyong is no longer a person, but a gunpowder workshop that is enough to destroy the world.

Compared with Lin Xueyong's cross-era genius, the hundreds of dollars that Li Xiang had to pay to several owners of the fireworks workshop were simply worthless!

Li Xiang also had the idea that as long as he shook his tiger body and said some awesome ideas, he could attract the peerless fierce generals who took people's heads such as stealing vegetables, the top strategists who stabilized the country and did not hesitate to betray the Taoist system, and the talented people with unique skills came to vote. He has had such a dream more than once.

But the cruel reality almost made Li Xiang suffer from autism.

Fang La has the support of millions of people, and there are more than 200,000 troops with different combat strengths, and few people have really taken refuge. How old is Li Xiang, who is only famous for making money?

It is still one step at a time in the mountains, and it is reliable to cultivate talents honestly......

The site of the explosion was cordoned off, all the mountain people were asked to keep it secret, and the few families who received the promise of compensation were grateful. After Li Xiang gave instructions on production safety and fire prevention and control, he left excitedly.

Lei Cheng saw Lin Xueyong covered with a black cloth on the tree forest, and then was packed and carried to the back mountain.

Obviously, the owner of the village didn't want to punish Lin Xueyong at all. He also values his talents!

"What does that iron thing called a handcuff think my brother thinks?" Lei Cheng asked the carpenter.

"It's a long time to get a shot, and there's no accuracy at all. It can only be used for self-defense, what else can it do? Carpenter said without thinking.

"I don't think so. I always feel that the owner of the village is full of bamboo, and is constantly urging us to work towards a clear place. Otherwise, how could the handcuffs be molded so quickly? ”

"Do you want to say that the owner of the village is born to know? Absurd! The lord of the village is a master of heaven and man in a hundred works of ingenuity, how can you and I be able to do it? It should be the Taoist priest who met the owner of the village back then, or all the things in his family. ”

"Makes sense, it's my crankiness. Whew~~~ The old brother is really an old man, he can use idioms......"

"That is, in another half a year, I can directly read books without pinyin. Why bother to be presumptuous, you're not bad......"

"Hahaha, go drink at night! Tomorrow, the owner of the village will get married, let's have a good time. ”

Li Xiang knows the huge value of Lin Xueyong, but Liu Susu, the other protagonist of tomorrow's wedding, doesn't know.

Li Xiang really didn't care about the big move that Lin Xueyong made before the wedding. Liu Susu was very unhappy, and he was unhappy with Lin Xueyong for a long time.
