The next day, Yang Lin stood in front of the door of a small courtyard, silently, knocked on the door, and the faint and rhythmic knock came into the courtyard, echoing in the air, as if summoning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Knock~knock~

Soon after, there was a rustling of footsteps, followed by a squeak, the door was opened immediately, and a figure appeared in Yang Lin's field of vision, it was Yang Sanda, looking at Yang Lin with a surprised face, unbelievable.

"Ah, hall master, it's you, how did you find here?"

Almost subconsciously asked, as if he had thought of something, and then showed a sudden look, a little bright, and said with a dry smile: "Hehe, look at my memory, how can I forget, you are the master of the deaf and dumb hall, you want to know the address of a subordinate, what's so strange, look at what I said is superfluous!" ”

Yang Lin looked at it indifferently, smiled slightly, and asked with a pretended to blame: "Sanda, you won't treat guests like this, let the guests stand in front of the door, and don't let them in, just talk like this?" Wouldn't I be welcome? ”

"Uh... I'm sorry, hall master, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong. The hall master can come, welcome, just think you came too suddenly, didn't react for a while, some surprises, I didn't expect it, there was a loss of mind, and I hope the hall master forgives, please come in! ”

Yang Sanda turned sideways, stretched out his right arm, made a gesture of please, let Yang Lin take a step first, let him enter the door, and then closed the door, followed by the two of them walking towards the main hall.

In the living room, after the two of them sat down, when Yang Sanda was about to speak, Yang Lin spoke first, with the suspicion of dominating the guests, without any polite words, and directly expressed the meaning in his chest, the purpose of this trip.

"Brother Sanda, those Western things you brought back, can you let me take a look, let me open my eyes, I have only heard those things said, I have never seen the real thing, I am very curious, a little impatient!"

At this moment, looking at the bright light flashing in Yang Lin's eyes, there was a sense of urgency, and there was a faint sense of greed. Yang Sanda hesitated and hesitated. All the way, he came back by boat for thousands of miles, and spent three or four months at sea, and those Western things were unique, all of which he Yang Sanda liked, and it was difficult to give up, and he didn't want to share them with others.

If Yang Lin really wanted those things, it would be the same as cutting his flesh.

After living for decades, he is already thirty or forty years old, has studied both Chinese and Western, and is familiar with ancient and modern history. As a member of the deaf and dumb hall, what can he do in the face of the hall master's quest for treasure?

For a while, Yang Sanda's heart was mixed, and various emotions were intertwined, with ups and downs. But when I think of those Western things, I can't help but hate in my heart, and I am ready to make the last effort and attempt, and I still express it in a tactful tone to hold back the anxiety and dissatisfaction in my heart.

"That, hall master, I haven't prepared the things assembled by the steam engine yet, and I will be able to make another steam engine for you in two days....."

Looking at Yang Sanda's cautious and nervous look, he couldn't help but calm down, remembering what he had just said, he suddenly realized that he was in a bit of a hurry and lost his temper, which caused the other party's misunderstanding and immediately explained.

"Brother Sanda, you misunderstood, I didn't take away the evil that people love, I just wanted to see those things, and I had no other ideas. What's more, after a while, I will rely on you to be able to travel to Europe and bring back some natural science books and advanced technology. Especially that bridge Fry, I hope you can bring him back, I'm interested in steam engine steamers. ”

Seeing that Yang Lin said solemnly and seriously, not like he was perfunctory, Yang Sanda suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had thought too much, and then said happily: "Okay, as long as the hall master's ship and people are ready, Sanda can set off at any time, and he will definitely go to Europe and France, and while bringing back books and technology, he must invite Bridge Frye back, and never disappoint the hall master!" ”

Then, Yang Sanda stood up and said loudly: "Hall Master, please here, I'll take you to see those things, and I hope you will comment more and give some opinions, but I heard from the old hall master, Hall Master, you know Western objects very well." Moreover, you are very good at it, and your subordinates have seen your invention with their own eyes! ”

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it~, I really want to see those things, if you have any opinions, you must know everything!"

When he replied, Yang Lin also stood up, followed closely, and walked towards a small house, or an inner room, only separated from the couch by a screen, which shows how much Yang Sanda attaches importance to these things, and cherishes them very much.

As soon as he walked into the hut, a thing more than one person tall came into view, occupying a large area, which seemed very abrupt and extremely eye-catching, making Yang Lin look at it directly, unable to divert his gaze anymore, and walked away slowly, as if no one was there.

Yang Lin walked over and walked slowly around the thing, one after another horizontal or vertical connecting rods were stroked, and there was a wheel on one side, connected to the other parts by a rotating shaft.

At the same time, Yang Sanda stepped forward quickly, followed Yang Lin's side, and hurriedly introduced: "Hall Master, this is the steam engine I told you, as long as the fuel is ignited, the water inside is heated, the steam is formed, and the piston is pushed, it can be run, so as to drive other machinery, and you can also adjust the speed!" ”

In this way, Yang Sanda introduced the structure and operation principle of the steam engine in detail, and Yang Lin carefully watched each part of the steam engine, and was very interested, and listened very carefully and attentively from beginning to end.

Time passed gradually, and I don't know when, Yang Lin was the only one left in the house, but Yang Sanda was gone, I don't know what to do?

Looking left and right, after Yang Lin closed the door, his figure disappeared in an instant, and then the books in the room disappeared one by one. After only a moment's effort, he reappeared, lying on the corresponding bookshelf, as if no one had touched it. During the whole process, only the steam engine was there the whole time, and it was never moved.

Soon, Yang Lin's figure reappeared, without that kind of excitement, very calm, leisurely pacing slowly near the bookshelf, taking out books from his side from time to time to read, but did not read deeply, just a cursory browsing.

At this time, the hidden door was pushed open, and Yang Sanda slowly approached with his body sideways, holding two cups of tea in his hands. After entering, he turned around and walked towards Yang Lin.

Yang Lin closed the book in his hand, put it back in place at random, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Sanda, I really don't understand, why didn't you buy two maids to serve?" I'm also curious, what about your family, didn't they come back together? ”

Yang Sanda's body was shocked, he trembled slightly, his face was a little ugly, and he returned to normal in an instant, and continued to walk towards Yang Lin, responding tepidly and very plainly.

"The hall master doesn't know, this courtyard is so big, there are only a few rooms, I am planning to use it as a laboratory or for storing things, there is not much place for the maid to live."

"Moreover, I am used to being alone and like to be quiet, and if someone really lives in the same courtyard with me, I feel very awkward. Besides, how long I will stay is still unsure? Once you leave Guangzhou, with a maid, you will procrastinate, very troublesome, but it is better to come alone and be chic and free. ”

Obedient and listening, Yang Lin knew in his heart that Yang Sanda must have something unspeakable, and he didn't want to talk about his own hardships now. Otherwise, who wants to live alone, is so lonely, lonely and unbearable. Taking the teacup, Yang Lin changed the topic again.

"Brother Sanda, I haven't been back to Guangzhou City for so long, do you want me to send some people to take you around, get familiar with the customs of the motherland, and feel the cut of your hometown?"

It seems that the topic just now has aroused some unpleasant memories of Yang Sanda, and he is in a very bad mood at this time, and his enthusiasm for Yang Lin has decreased, and he casually copes with a bad mood.

"Thank you for your kindness, no need, I still have to make you a steam engine, and then I have to sort out the things I brought back."

All of a sudden, there was a cold scene in the room, which made people uncomfortable, Yang Lin put the teacup on the coffee table on the side, smiled indifferently, and made a gesture of wanting to leave.

"Okay, Sanda, I'll go back first, I still have some things to deal with. If there's anything, as long as I can do it, I'll do it for you! ”

"Okay, hall master, then I won't keep you, I'll send you out."

Then, Yang Lin took the lead, walking in front of him, Yang Sanda followed, and the two were only half a body apart, and walked out of the door together. (To be continued.) )
