Chapter 5 Flying Toys

Man is an animal with a resilient personality. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs long as he doesn't have the intention of dying, then he will try to live no matter what. No matter how much the environment of that survival has changed compared to his original one, survival always comes first. It is no wonder that in most countries in modern society, the protection of the right to life is the first part of their constitution to be envisaged. In general, the right to life is the most basic right of human beings, and no one has the right to deprive it of it at will.

Although in such an ancient time where the right to life could be disdained at will, Li Sheng did not intend to give up on himself just like that. On the contrary, in order to survive in this ancient society, he is like a dry sponge, absorbing all the knowledge related to this society.

I don't know if it's because of time and space travel and some kind of power has secretly transformed him, or because he already has a clear learning goal and can concentrate on it, his head seems to have become bright all of a sudden, and the speed of learning things has become very fast.

It's only been a month, and he has already mastered the basic language of this era, and the direct teaching bell is a little dumbfounded: "You learn so fast, you are still not a human." ”

In this regard, Li Sheng just smiled stupidly. He himself did not know how to explain such a thing.

However, Li Sheng is still very satisfied with his life in ancient times. Although he is not like the protagonist of the original novel who can fall and hit a strategist, he can find a fierce general when he goes out, and he can get a city in three or two clicks, but the life in this Surabaya residence is still passable.

Although this is not enough to meet the standard of fine clothes and food, it can also be used to get food and clothing while wearing warm and neat clothes without being tired by the cold, which is not bad. A man must be content. The current life is much better than that of the homeless people outside the city. Li Sheng felt that he still had some luck.

It solves the most troublesome language problem in an unfamiliar environment, and other living habits and the like are easier to talk about. As long as someone teaches you to pay a little attention to it when you usually receive people and things, it is not easy to show your feet.

By the end of December, when the Spring Festival was approaching, Li Sheng's performance was already somewhat similar to that of the locals in front of outsiders. Although in the eyes of those who care, you can still find him unusual, but in the first impression of ordinary people, he is not as strange as he first sees.

The hair, which made people feel strange when they first met, has slowly grown after more than a month of continuation. Although he couldn't get to the point where he could wear a bun, he used the excuse of being afraid of the cold to add a cotton hat to his head, which could also cover up the matter.

When everything was settled, Li Sheng suddenly became idle. His position in the center of Surabaya is very strange, that is, he is not a relative of the master's family, the young master, or the master's newly hired subordinates. He seemed to be just a diner, a man who ate white rice, and could only stare at him with nothing to do every day.

He felt like the most idle person here. It's much more idle than the bell that has to do a considerable amount of homework every day. Because he is an outsider, naturally no one said that he could study with Zhong'er; Because Mrs. Li didn't say that he was a subordinate, naturally no supervisor would explain the matter to him.

Li Sheng only felt like a floating ghost, except for when Zhong'er needed his own company, his own good life to appease this little girl, he was basically in a situation of being ignored. He was bored with this situation, and he was about to go crazy.

After seven days of wandering around with nothing to do, he finally decided to go to Mrs. Li and ask for an explanation. He was accustomed to a busy and fulfilling life in modern times, but he couldn't bear such a free time, so he decided to find himself a job in this ancient period. He was going to ask Mrs. Li to send him something.

In the tent room that entered the back, Li Sheng, who found Mrs. Li, bluntly put forward his request to her.

He thought that Mrs. Li would easily agree, after all, it is now approaching the end of the year, and Surabaya Curie is very busy, and he should need to look at the manpower. But he didn't want things to go as smoothly as he expected. As soon as he put forward his suggestion, it caused Mrs. Li to look at her strangely: "You are bored and want me to send you something to do?" Don't say it's okay to laugh? What can you do at such a young age? She immediately rejected Li Sheng's proposal.

"What can be done?" For Mrs. Li's rhetorical question, Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what he could do.

Do the chores, do the work on the move? No, it's busy, dirty, and tiring. Li Sheng looked at his "thin" body and directly vetoed it. He was very reluctant to do manual work all the time.

So, being a chef in charge? Just kidding, let's not say that the dishes I make can only meet the standard of filling the stomach, and I can't serve it at all, even if I can make a good dish, I will never want to stay in the kitchen of this tavern. It must be known that even in the modern kitchen, it is also a hot place, and he Li Sheng is the most afraid of heat.

How about going to the account office to help manage the accounts? This is just a matter of sitting, neither dirty nor hot, not to mention hindered by the wind and snow, as long as you sort out the accounts every day, it is quite easy work, but Li Sheng still thinks that he has no way to do this. Because he is afraid of being opposed to numbers. Back in modern times, there were two things that gave him the most headaches, one was English and the other was mathematics. In order to escape the face of numbers, he chose liberal arts in his high school placement year. After all, the requirements for mathematics are not so high. Although at the end of his studies, he still applied for computer science according to his interests.

This is not good, then I am afraid, after thinking about it, Li Sheng found that he did not have any suitable work to do in the middle of Surabaya.

"Still can't you?" Li Sheng was speechless for Mrs. Li's questioning, he looked embarrassed, cowardly but didn't know what to say, and his eyes were slightly disappointed.

Seeing the disappointment in Li Sheng's eyes, Mrs. Li couldn't bear it, she smiled slightly, and kindly suggested to Li Sheng: "Zixu is still young, and in order to learn from his ambitions, this should not be based on hard work, but on his studies." Although there is no Confucian and erudite teacher in Xiaqiu County, there are a lot of books in the house, which can still solve your doubts. Moreover, I only have one daughter, who is plain and stubborn, and has no good companions at home, so I can only let them go free. Now that Zixu is here, he can be my daughter's companion and restrain him to be good. ”

"This ...... May I? Li Sheng was still a little puzzled. After all, this is too easy, not only let yourself read the books at home freely, but also let Zhong'er accompany her to relieve her boredom, and she doesn't want to do any work, just eat and drink for nothing like before. Is there anything better in this world?

Probably understands the overall social environment at present, Li Sheng naturally understands what kind of status he is equivalent to: to put it mildly, he Li Sheng, for Mrs. Li, he Li Sheng is just a first-class pet equivalent to a kitten and a puppy picked up by her daughter, where does he need such luxurious treatment. He was a little flattered.

Seeing that Li Sheng was still a little unsure, Mrs. Li nodded very solemnly, half dignified and half jokingly said, "Of course you can." I think Zixu is extraordinary, kind and kind to others, often despises injustice, and is an extraordinary person. At the moment, although you are difficult and young, your future is limitless. If he has a prosperous future, he must promise me three things. ”

Since the master has said so, of course Li Sheng is not good at shirking. However, he didn't even plan for the future, and at the moment he didn't believe in things like soaring in the future.

"That's nature." Li Sheng replied casually, but did not take this to heart. He just thought it was Mrs. Li comforting him. Whether in ancient times or in the past and modern times, he Li Sheng has always regarded himself as an ordinary person with little ability. Even though he has published a novel, he has become somewhat famous, and he is not proud of it at all. He always thinks that this kind of thing can be done by others, and the reason why he will do it first is just that he is lucky.

In the eyes of others, he is a humble person, and at the same time a very unconfident person.

The matter was settled, and Li Sheng set a schedule for his work and rest according to the study time before the Spring Festival:

Wake up at three o'clock and practice boxing. In fact, Li Sheng doesn't know any martial arts. It's just that I learned a set of simple Tai Chi in the physical education class of middle school, and then because I watched more martial arts movies, I became more and more interested in the Tai Chi described in it, so I really bought a lot of CDs to watch. In the past few years, I have not experienced much of the true meaning of Tai Chi, but it has never been a problem to play a few routines. After returning to this troubled world, he felt more and more that he needed a strong body. So I never thought about exercising;

At the beginning of the hour, breakfast. At that time, there was naturally no such thing as breakfast, and Li Sheng didn't like to eat breakfast very much, but he felt that after exercising, he would inevitably feel hungry, which made him feel very uncomfortable. So after much consideration, it was decided that it would be better to have some breakfast. Of course, the breakfast here is just a cup of tea, a piece of steamed bread and other buns, which is easy to solve;

At three o'clock, enter the study and study;

Early noon, lunch;

Later, at the end of the Shen dinner, they played with the bell;

At the end of the hour, dinner;

At the end of the day, turn off the lights and rest. After all, there were no colorful nocturnal activities at night in ancient times, and boredom was boring, so it was better to go to bed early with the lights out. After all, you have to get up early the next day.

Barely writing on the wooden strip with his crooked handwriting, and then hanging it with a string and watching it in a conspicuous place, Li Sheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Although I write out the day's arrangement so straightforwardly, I may not really follow it, but it can still have some restraining effect on myself.

Li Sheng knew that he had a problem of liking laziness. There's always only three minutes of heat on anything.,I don't like to delve into it in detail.。 It turned out that there was still the supervision of his parents at home, and he could continue to do it reluctantly, but when he got here, everything only relied on his own self-consciousness. Therefore, it is very important to make a nameplate to remind yourself.

He understands that if he wants to live smoothly here, he can only guarantee his own strength. And now if you want a family background without a family background, and if you want money but no money, if you want to gain strength, you can only exercise your strength and intelligence.

"If I am very good in force and intelligence, I should be able to gain some fame. That would also gain the appreciation of that monarch. Li Sheng thinks so. That's all he thinks about when he doesn't have anything at the moment. As for how to regain independence from the monarchy and eventually dominate one side, he felt that it was too far away, so he did not think about it.

As he himself has commented on himself: he is not a man with long-term strategic planning.

Because of Mrs. Li's permission, the current Li Sheng has no guilt about his free time. Reading and playing with Bell are the focus of his day. As for other things, it is natural that others will help him solve them properly. Although Mrs. Li did not announce that he was the young master of this Surabaya residence, those who did not know his identity very well gave him such a young master in private. In fact, in the middle of this Surabaya, except for the fact that he does not have his own special maid, the others are already the same as Zhong'er.

Such a change would make the other people who were taken in unhappy to death, but here in Li Sheng, he didn't even change his face. He doesn't care about these things. Whether it is a fancy food or an ordinary coarse tea and light rice, it is almost the same in his opinion. In the original modern era, he only cared about things related to computers, but in today's ancient times, he only cares about two things: how to learn ancient knowledge; How to coax the little girl to be happy. These two things are very important to Li Sheng, the former is related to the growth of Li Sheng's own ability, and the latter is the guarantee of Li Sheng's stable life now.

The study room in Surabaya is next door to the back tent room. It was a large room with a radius of ten feet. Among them, the collection of books is so large and rich in types that it can be regarded as a small library even in the modern era where Li Sheng originally stayed.

When Li Sheng went in on the first day and saw the scrolls and wooden tablets that were full of mountains and valleys, he was really surprised by the number of books here: "There are too many books." It's not at all like the scale that a businessman should collect. "After all, businessmen in this era will not be officials, although they have to deal with scholars and doctors from time to time, and they have to back up some knowledge, but no matter how they are backed, they don't need to use so many things. If it was said that the books in this room were owned by the family, Li Sheng would still believe it. Because they were supposed to live on it.

"Could it be that the identity of her mother is not just a businessman?" For the first time, Li Sheng was interested in the past of the owner of the Surabaya residence.

Since the purpose of reading these ancient books is to better understand the aspects of this Han Dynasty and to prepare for one's own future development, one cannot read all kinds of books in the style of swallowing dates.

Li Sheng stared at the pile of books in front of him and thought about the path he might take, so he decided to look at these books first:

The first is the Confucian books, including classics such as the Book of Songs, the Analects, and Mencius. Although most of the comments on Confucianism on the Internet of his former society were incomplete, Li Sheng himself did not agree with such views.

Regarding this idea, which ruled the entire feudal society in China, Li Sheng believes that although it has some dross, it must also have a lot of shining points. He is not very easy to comment on this until he has read the Confucian classics himself. Moreover, the current Han Dynasty was an era of exclusive respect for Confucianism, and scholars in this era were often proficient in Confucianism. Li Sheng knew very well that he would have to rely on their strength in the future. Therefore, it is also necessary to find a common language with which to communicate with them by reading Confucian texts.

The second is the books of soldiers, such as "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "Liutao" and the like. This is needed in order to learn combat later. Although Li Sheng himself believes that just reading books cannot really reach the level of commanding troops to fight, it is better to have something to see than not to be optimistic. Before finding a master who is a powerful master in the "Art of War", he still feels that he should read some knowledge in this area first, so as to lay a good foundation for the future.

Then there are the Mozi's "Mozi", the Legalist's "Han Feizi" and some other miscellaneous books, which probably introduce basic carpenters, craftsmen's crafts and the like. Although these books are not as important as those of Confucianism and military scholars, there are some things in them that Li Sheng thinks he needs to know. In order to go smoothly in the future career or the road of the world, he plans to make some preparations at this time.

"Well, let's do that for the next year or two. When I can't stay here in Xuzhou, I will go to Jingzhou for a walk, and by the way, I will ask for advice from good gentlemen like Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan. As soon as he thought of this, a yearning smile appeared on Li Sheng's face. At present, his every move is matched with his mind, which is already much younger than his actual age, and he looks like a real thirteen-year-old child.

******

If there are no annoying problems in reading that are enough to make Li Sheng sad, then there is a lot of trouble on the side of Zhong'er, who originally thought it would be easy to deal with. After a few days of contact with this clever little girl, Li Sheng suddenly realized that this girl was not as easy to serve as the woman depicted in the ancient books.

She's not the one who can tell a few fairy tales a day. Although she also likes to listen to those unheard stories, she often pulls Li Sheng at night to finish the story and leave. But as a girl who has played with boys since she was a child, she is boyish in many ways.

As far as that play is concerned, she wants not only the story here, but also the play there, and she wants Li Sheng to move his "insightful" head to think about whether there is anything more interesting. In her opinion, since Li Sheng has so many good stories in his head, there must be many interesting ideas. She was a little tired of the things she had been playing with De'er. After all, there aren't many tricks to play like that.

"You've lived a few years longer than I have, and you've certainly experienced more fun stuff than I have. How else would you have heard so many stories? I'm just asking you to make something fun out of your head, can't you? Find out, I won't bring you back in the first place. Seeing that Li Sheng shirked a few times on the grounds of "no time" and "won't", Zhong'er couldn't help but be very annoyed, she pouted, and put down the heavy words with a cute face.

That's a lot of weight. It seemed to remind Li Sheng of his identity as nothing. It's just that if this is said by someone else, Li Sheng will definitely change his face. But these words were said by Zhong'er, and Li Sheng couldn't get angry because of this. First, after all, Zhong'er is still young, and most of what she says is momentary angry words, which must not be true; Second, this is indeed a reality, Li Sheng is indeed relying on this Surabaya residence to eat white rice at the moment.

There was really no way to be entangled by the little girl, and after looking at the frustrated pity on her face, Li Sheng was finally moved. He decided to make a unique toy for this little girl who likes novelties. Of course, this also needs the help of the little girl.

"Then I'll make one for you. But you'll have to prepare the materials for me. Li Sheng thought carefully for a while, and made a list for Zhong'er: "I need a four-foot-long cowhide, two iron hooks two fingers wide, a wooden board three feet long and three feet thick and half a finger thick, and a log two feet long and one finger in diameter." Well, these woods need to be light and strong. ”

"Oh!?" Seeing that Li Sheng finally agreed, Zhong'er's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and the frustration and anger just now were emptied at once, she jumped to Li Sheng's side, took the list with one hand, and asked with curiosity: "What is this?" ”

"A thing that can fly in the sky." Li Sheng said with a smile.

"Can fly? Is it like a paper kite? Bell asked happily, and then became a little frustrated: "The wind is too strong in winter, and it is easy to blow off the rope, so it is not easy to put paper kites." ”

"Rope, do you see that there is such a thing as rope in the list I gave you? I'm just flying like a paper kite. As for the others, it is completely different from the paper kite, it is windless. Li Sheng explained with a mysterious smile.

"Don't want the wind?" Stars flashed in her eyes, and she became more and more excited: "I really haven't heard of it, it's like a myth." When you do it, I want to watch it on the side, is it okay? She looked at him wistfully.

"That's fine, of course. I'd like you to help me. After all, girls' hands are much more dexterous than our boys'. There's always something that needs to be done in detail, and that's something I can't do. Hearing Zhong'er mention it, Li Sheng immediately agreed. In fact, for this matter, even if Zhong'er doesn't say it, he will ask for it. After all, although he knows the method of making such a thing, he has never tried it before, and he will definitely encounter a lot of problems during the process. He thought to himself, with his lazy personality, that he would definitely back off when such a problem stood in the way, especially when he was doing it alone. If there is someone next to you, and this person is a big beauty, it is another matter.

Isn't there a saying that "men and women don't get tired of working together"? Naturally, there is no way to be called a big beauty when she is still young, but it is okay to be called a little beauty with her current cuteness. If she stays by Li Sheng's side, it will be somewhat of a comfort to Li Sheng. In front of women, especially sister-level beauties, men will never have the idea of being weak.

In fact, what Li Sheng wants to do is also a fairly simple thing - a ****** model that uses cowhide clockwork flipping as a powertrain. In modern times, even elementary school students can make this thing, and it is very easy to assemble. The key to the so-called difficulty is how to turn simple materials into materials that are truly suitable for assembly, that is, the cutting of wooden boards, the elongation of cowhide, etc. It takes patience, care, and energy to take your time. Therefore, Li Sheng first asked Zhong'er to prepare those materials.

Three days later, the little girl ran and jumped over and told Li Sheng: "The materials are ready, and they are all stacked in the warm pavilion on the west side." ”

Li Sheng immediately asked Zhong'er to lead the way and led him to see it. When he arrived at the Warm Pavilion, he not only saw that the materials that met his original requirements were wiped clean and placed there, but also an old man with goosebumps on his face and two young men in his twenties standing with their heads bowed with their heads bowed, and when they saw themselves at the door of the Warm Pavilion, they quickly raised their heads and looked straight at themselves with burning eyes.

"Huh? What's going on? How can there be outsiders here? Li Sheng looked at the bell a little strangely.

Seeing Li Sheng's question, Zhong'er giggled, raised her crisp voice and explained: "That's Song Bo and his two apprentices, one surnamed Gao and the other surnamed Xu. Uncle Song is De'er's father, and he is a famous carpenter in the entire Xiaqiu City. You asked me about the materials I prepared, and I had no contact with them myself, so I had to ask Song Bo. He asked me what I was going to do, and I told him. Song Bo was very interested in Brother Sheng's gadgets, so he decided to come and see for himself. And the two eldest brothers, they don't believe in things that can fly without the help of the wind. Speaking of this, Zhong'er glared at the two young men fiercely, as if she was very dissatisfied with them.

"I see." Li Sheng nodded clearly. Although he didn't like people who looked at him with critical eyes when he was doing things, since they had already come, it was not good to drive them away without any politeness. In desperation, he had no choice but to put on a faint smile, pretending to be a little excited and saluting the three: "The junior Li Sheng has seen Uncle Song, Brother Gao, and Brother Li. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Seeing that Li Sheng actually saluted himself, the three of them, two young and one old, suddenly panicked. They didn't know who Li Sheng was. I only heard that Li Sheng was also surnamed Li, so I thought that he was a descendant of the relatives of the boss of Surabaya House, and he was also a figure of the young master's generation, and he had more status than himself anyway. In this hierarchical Han Dynasty, how can there be a reason for a high status to salute a person with a low status. If they accept it calmly, then some people will definitely say that they are arrogant and rude. That would definitely have a big impact on their business.

"Elders first." Since the other party said that he didn't dare to take it, Li Sheng sat down with Shi Shiran after casually pushing them down, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Song is interested in what I am going to make for Zhong'er?" ”

"I have heard that Zuluban, a craftsman, made a big bird out of gold and wood, and it took three days to make it. Now I heard that the things made by the little brother seem to be very similar to what Patriarch Lu Ban did, so I planned to come and visit it to see if I could get some lessons from it. Song Bo put forward his request very tactfully.

"Oh?" Seeing that old face was full of hope, Li Sheng's heart softened a little. He thought about it carefully, and pretended to be modest and said to Song Bo: "I originally only saw this thing on a fragment when I was a child. There are steps and materials to be taken to do it, but to be honest, I haven't done it myself. I originally wanted to try it hard, but now that Song Bo and the two eldest brothers are here, how dare I get an axe. I am willing to tell me the steps I know, and you will do it yourself, Uncle Song, while I will guide you in a game. Anyway, it's just a child's thing, so it's not a secret. Besides, I'm afraid that I'll make things worse and disappoint Sister Zhong'er. ”

"In this way, the old man is the hairpin." There was a soft thank you in his mouth, but Song Bo immediately agreed. It was very rare for him to learn the art of making a new object, even if it was just a toy.

The rest is simple. Here, Li Sheng said how to make the materials, and over there, there was Song Bo's dry but powerful, thin but very dexterous hand that turned the originally ordinary materials into the appearance that Li Sheng needed. When an hour later, all the materials had been cut, Li Sheng quickly assembled them according to the memory in his heart. Because, things are simple, and Li Sheng has more than once before, so the speed of his combination at the moment is also extremely fast. It only took half an hour to put the model together.

"This thing can fly?" Looking at the monster with two long wings in front of him, Song Bo and the other three couldn't see that there was a bird in this thing.

Can it fly? They were skeptical.

Li Sheng didn't say much, just led them to the courtyard outside, and directly tightened the cowhide rope at the front end of the ******. He used his fingers to block the spiral blades, which were desperate to release their power from being rolled up behind him, and gently placed them on the ground.

"It's going to fly, everyone needs to see it clearly." He muttered loudly, quickly swinging away from the finger blocking the spiral leaf, then leaned aside to make way of a spot.

The spiral blades on the ground ****** quickly rotated, sucking in the air in front of them and blowing directly into the wings behind. Finally, the ****** moved, first moving forward little by little, and then picking up speed. When this speed reached a certain limit, it flew off the ground, as if held by an invisible hand, and flew towards the sky.

Of course, because the power provided by the cowhide rope is not great, it only rose about ten meters before losing the power to continue to rush and slid down and slowly floated to the ground, but as a thing that flew directly without any "wind power", it still made Song Bo and the three of them stunned.

"Miracle, this is really a miracle left by Patriarch Luban." Over there, Zhong'er couldn't hold back the feeling of excitement and asked Li Sheng to teach her how to play with this thing, but Song Bo and the other three here still looked up at the sky and muttered this sentence repeatedly. They're crazy.
