Chapter 024: There's a Girl Next Door (2) 1/2

Can I be more shameless and ask for a recommendation......

――――――――――――――――――――――――

As he spoke, a voice came from outside the house.

Immediately after the sound of footsteps, a thin teenager rushed into the hall like a wind, his face flushed, and he craned his neck and said loudly, "Who took my things?" ”

"Ah Fu, presumptuous!"

Deng Ji was furious and shouted loudly.

This young man is Cao Peng, who ran to the river beach in the heavy snow just now, but did not find the leather pocket. came back dejected, but heard Wang Meng say that someone came to return the leather bag. Cao Peng immediately became anxious and hurriedly ran to the hall. It's just his breath...... You're welcome!

The girl pouted, not too happy.

Cao Peng also realized that his tone was a little tough just now.

So he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm also in a hurry, just when I farted just now, don't be surprised...... Excuse me, who picked up my things? ”

What he said was vulgar, and Deng Ji's face turned red with anger.

Even Cao Ji frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

The girl's face also turned red.

But then he burst out laughing. She stood up and asked, "You said you lost something, then I ask you, what did you lose?" ”

"A black leather pocket with a flame motif embroidered on it."

"What's in that pocket?"

Cao Peng was stunned, thought for a while and replied: "There are a few drawings in it, and there are some miscellaneous trivial things. ”

"Drawings, what drawings?"

"It's the ...... of the bellows"

Cao Peng suddenly shut up and glared at the girl.

The girl grinned mischievously, "Oh, so that thing is called bellows." ”

Damn, it's time for a little girl!

Cao Peng pursed his lips and didn't speak.

The girl also seemed to think that it was a little excessive, so she picked up the drawings from the case, put them in her leather pocket, and walked in front of Cao Peng.

"Oh, I'll give it back to you!"

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take the leather bag from the girl's hand.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome...... But the little girl has a question, I wonder if the son can solve my doubts? ”

Deng Ji spoke at this time, "Ah Fu, don't be rude, this is Miss Zhang." ”

Although he was angry at Cao Peng's rude behavior just now, he saw that the girl was not angry, so he didn't pursue it anymore. At the same time, Deng Ji could also see that the ghost drawing talisman on the hemp paper seemed to have a mystery. He doesn't understand, but he ponders...... This brother-in-law is different from before! Being valued by Pang Ren is enough to show that Cao Peng is indeed extraordinary. Thinking of the previous double-liquid quenching method (in fact, Deng Ji didn't know, it was called the double-liquid quenching method), everything Cao Peng did had a deep intention.

However, Deng Ji still didn't want Cao Peng to snub the Zhang family.

Zhang's family?

Cao Peng glanced at Deng Ji suspiciously, and then suddenly realized: "Nieyang Zhang's family? ”

Even if you know, you don't have to say it!

Deng Ji was very helpless about Cao Peng, but he could only nod his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

"Then dare to ask Zhang Ji Taishou, who are you?"

Cao Peng always felt that the name Zhang Ji was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it. Later, by chance, Deng Ji said, 'Mr. Zhongjing'. Cao Peng asked, who is Mr. Zhongjing? And Deng Ji replied, didn't I mention it to you before, is it Zhang Ji and Zhang Taishou?

Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing?

Isn't that the famous medical saint of later generations?

In Cao Peng's hometown in his previous life, there was a chain pharmacy, which was called Zhang Zhongjing Pharmacy.

What if he didn't know who Zhang Zhongjing was? That's really weird......

The girl grinned and said, "That's the little girl's father." ”

"Ah, that's rude down there!"

Cao Peng hurriedly waved his hand. He was not complimenting the girl, but saluting sincerely. Not for anything else, just for the name Zhang Zhongjing.

"My name is Wanzhen!"

"Huh?"

"My name!"

The girl said angrily, "You are really unreasonable, everyone has told you your name, and you haven't said it yet, what is your name?" ”

Cao Peng woke up like a dream and apologized again and again.

"Under the surname Cao, the name is a friend, and the word friend learns."

"You have the words!"

Zhang Wanzhen pursed her lips and chuckled, "Should that little girl call you Mr. Youxue?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare...... Just call me Cao Peng! ”

"Hee-hee, no kidding...... Wanzhen knew that she was presumptuous, but she was still a little curious. Don't hide it from Cao Gongzi, I have been good at civil engineering since I was a child. Today, I was going to see my brother in Jianyang County, so when I crossed the river and passed by the river beach, I accidentally picked up the lost things of my son under a peach tree. Originally, I was supposed to return it to my son, but due to the rush of time, I had to go to the county seat to do errands first......

On the way, the little woman accidentally saw Childe's drawings, so she was a little curious.

This bellows...... Oh, it's called bellows. Can Childe tell the little girl what this bellows is for? ”

In those bright eyes, there was a longing expectation, which made Cao Peng unbearable to refuse.

"Well...... this"

"Ah Fu, you talk to Miss here, I'll go and see if dinner is ready."

Deng Ji was very eye-catching, said a word of absence on the side, and pulled Cao Ji out of the hall. As soon as he went out, it was not easy for the steward of the Zhang family to continue to stay in the hall. Because he could see that Cao Peng seemed to be a little hesitant. Since confidentiality is involved, it is natural that the fewer people who know about it, the better. He wasn't afraid of something that would happen to Miss Wanzhen...... Miss Wanzhen's brother was stationed not far from Thorn Yang at this time.

If there is really an accident, that brother can quickly set foot in Deng Village......

"Ah Fu?"

When only Cao Peng and Wanzhen were left in the hall, Zhang Wanzhen asked with a grin.

Cao Peng scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Ah Fu, it's my milk name...... My brother-in-law is usually used to calling him like this, which makes the young lady laugh. ”

I don't know why, Cao Peng's heart is beating hard.

Beasts!

Looking at her like this, it is estimated that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and I actually ......

Why didn't you think before, I'm still a lolicon? But this woman feels really weird. That look, that temperament, and ...... Damn, why does this girl look so precocious? I even feel like my first love!

The first love in the previous life was a failure!

I didn't expect ......

The girl in front of him made Cao Peng feel like his heart was racing.

When everyone was there just now, there was nothing, and now there are only the two of them left, and Cao Peng found out that in fact, this Zhang Wanzhen is very beautiful.

"Then Gongzi Cao, can you solve my doubts?"

The longing in the girl's eyes made Cao Peng unable to extricate himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "It's okay to tell you, it's just ......"

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."

The girl said: "I know, this thing must be very important to Childe, and I will not tell anyone...... If you don't believe me, we'll tick it. ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender jade finger and put it in front of Cao Peng.

Cao Peng hesitated, then stretched out his hand and ticked......

When he touched the girl's finger, Cao Peng's heart beat faster.

And Zhang Wanzhen's face was also a little blushing, and after lowering her head and ticking Cao Peng, she said impatiently: "Actually, I'm just curious." I feel that this bellows must be of some use...... And I feel that the drawings seem to be somewhat flawed and imperfect. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Peng also came to the momentum.

His drawings, he naturally knew very well in his heart.

He just drew the rudimentary shape of the bellows from memory, and to be honest, this picture is not perfect.

After thinking about it, he spoke: "Miss Wanzhen also saw that my father is a blacksmith. My father has always wanted to forge a good sword, but unfortunately he has not succeeded. I saw that my father was in a hurry, so I wanted to help him. Later, I found out that the furnace can increase the temperature of the furnace fire, so I thought, if I can blow stronger wind into the furnace, will it increase the temperature of the furnace fire and make a good knife?

Once, I saw a book with this sentence on it: Between heaven and earth, what is it? Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more...... So, I combined the characteristics of the bellows to design this bellows. It's just that, as you can see, so far, it's not perfect. ”

This sentence comes from "Lao Tzu - Tao Jing".

Zhang Wanzhen obviously read this book, but just saying it from Cao Peng's mouth still surprised her.

"Unexpectedly, Cao Gongzi is still a filial son!"

Zhang Wanzhen's eyes revealed a strong sense of appreciation.

She stretched out her hand, "Can you let the little woman look at the drawings again?" ”

This seems to be an expert!

Cao Peng did not hesitate this time, took out the drawings and handed them to Zhang Wanzhen.

"Hee-hee, this picture of yours is really interesting, I don't know what you used to draw it?"

"This ......"

Cao Peng did not hesitate this time, and took out a charcoal pen from that leather pocket.

"It's charcoal I made myself...... Hehe, it's actually very simple, just take the charcoal that has been burned, cut it into this shape and use it. It's just for the convenience of drawing, and it's not usually of much use...... Actually, I have a better way. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Take the goose feathers, write on the hard rod and cut them, then dip them in ink and use them."

"Really?" Zhang Wanzhen showed a curious look, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, which made Cao Peng's heart beat faster again.

"Then when I go back, I must give it a try."

As she spoke, Zhang Wanzhen took the charcoal, walked to the side of the case, stared at the drawings, looked left and right......

"Actually, I already had some ideas on the way.

I wasn't sure what the use of this object was, so I didn't think much about it. Childe's thoughts are a little different from my guess, but they are basically the same.

Look, Childe, I've added a slot on each side of the box. When the lever is pulled out, it is inhaled through one of the levers, and when the lever is pushed, the air is sucked in from the proximal side...... Well, the inward and outward push and pull process sucks the air into the box, pushes it out from here, and sprays it out. It's probably a process, and I don't think it's too much of a problem, but it needs to be tried. ”

Zhang Wanzhen said, Cao Peng didn't understand a word.

But judging by the graphics she drew on hemp paper, it seemed quite plausible.

In fact, this bellows is a very simple and clever design. Those who know how to ponder it, and you can see the clues.

Of course, it's not that this effect cannot be achieved.

It's just that the cost of arranging the bridge is too high, and it is very complicated to make. Compared with the bellows, it looks a bit flashy......

Cao Peng didn't notice Zhang Wanzhen's other sentence: Although it is different from my guess, it is basically the same.

In other words, what Zhang Wanzhen thinks of is another use of bellows.

And about this usage, it was only paid attention to by Cao Peng later......

"How long will it take to find someone to build it?"

Zhang Wanzhen thought for a while, "Since Childe doesn't want others to know about this object, it's best to build it yourself, otherwise it will ......."

"Build it yourself?"

Cao Peng is embarrassed!

He didn't know how to do carpentry, and he didn't seem to be familiar with it at home.

How could Zhang Wanzhen not understand Cao Peng's difficulties, so she grinned and said, "Young Master Cao, if you believe in the little girl, let me build it." ”

"You?"

"Underestimate me?

I have a dedicated craftsman in my family, and they are all loyal.

I'll let them build it, so you don't have to worry about leaking out...... Of course, this requires Cao Gongzi to believe in the little girl. ”

Cao Peng did not hesitate this time.

"Then please!"

People can think through what he can't understand, and it's not interesting to hide it.

Now that Zhang Wanzhen has spoken, she has given Cao Peng enough respect. In fact, if she didn't have Cao Peng's consent, she could still build it herself when she went home.

Now that she had spoken, it meant nothing else.

Zhang Wanzhen smiled even more, and took the drawings in her hand, "Then I'll take it away." ”

"Please!"

"Well, I'll go back first...... If I don't leave, my father will be in a hurry. ”

As she spoke, she put away the drawings and walked out of the hall. When she walked out of the hall, Zhang Wanzhen suddenly stopped again, turned around and asked with a smile: "Gongzi Cao, can I ask you one more thing?" ”

Cao Peng said, "What's the matter? ”

"Every day before dawn, do you practice martial arts on the river beach behind your house?"

"How do you know?"

"Hee-hee, my dad said, the boxing you practice there every day is very interesting! The little woman is also very curious, I wonder if she can worship her son as a teacher? ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he was stunned for a moment......
