Chapter 101: Bamboo Cannon
Chapter 101 Bamboo Cannon
"When you arrive at the courtyard, you lie on a stone roller, and I roll it out for you with a rolling pin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Oh, it's time to exert force. Gong Nian Huai's left hand put on Meng Zhijing's shoulder and pressed it, "Sit firmly." ”
"Purr, whoa," "Oh, oh," Yan Gong raised the whip in his hand, grasped the wheel with one hand, and exerted himself with the ox pulling the cart, and the wheel came out with a puddle of muddy water.
"Howl, my tongue." Meng Zhijing covered his mouth, twisted his eyebrows, his face was hideous and painful, and a line of hazel flowed from his fingers.
"Hey, you have to predict, understand?" Gong Yi Nian Huai patted Meng Zhijing on the back, "Fortunately, the amplitude is not large, otherwise your tongue will become a mouthpiece." Alright, stop glaring. ”
"Sir, ah, --- Meng Gongzi woke up?" Yan Shi jumped on the wheel with a whip, saw Meng Zhijing covering his mouth in pain, and asked Gong Nian Huai with his eyes.
"It's okay, Brother Meng is hungry, and he wanted to eat a strip just now." Gong Yi Nian Huai glanced at Meng Zhijing, with a gloating evil smile on his face, and pointed at Yan Shi with his chin, "Catch your car, Brother Meng is angry, and there is no word at all." Huh"
"You, boy, look at me, look at me, ouch." Meng Zhijing glared angrily at Gong Nian Huai, and scratched Gong Nian Huai's armpit with his other hand.
"Hey, hehe, hahaha, don't, it's itchy."
Yan Shi glanced at the two of them suspiciously, turned his head and raised his whip to urge the ox, and ran towards the courtyard.
A sore tooth sound came from outside the car, and the car gradually slowed down, and then stopped.
"Sir, Meng Gongzi, it's here, please get out of the car." Yan Shi shouted, lifted the curtain in front of the car, propped it up with a stick, and looked into the carriage, hey, the two of them were head to head, sleeping soundly, and Harazi flowed all over the ground.
This, Yan Shi shook his head, drove the car into the courtyard or parked outside the door? That's a problem.
Yan Shi hesitated, gritted his teeth, and slapped the cow on the body. The cow was squinting and ruminating, and Leng Buding was attacked by someone, mooed, opened his four hooves, and roared forward. The car shook violently.
"Stop! Hey, stop! Yan Shi hurried behind with his whip in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the movement in the carriage.
"Ahh What's the matter, the ground moves! Gong Yi Nianhuai got up with a bone, and "Woo" hit Meng Zhijing's head.
"Ah, who hit me?" Meng Zhijing rubbed his eyes and raised his head to look around in confusion.
"Oh, arrived? Nianhuai got up quickly and arrived at the courtyard. This Yan Zuo is the head, he can't even catch the car well, and he will tell you the way of the emperor, and he is blind. Meng Zhijing muttered, got up, patted the reed mat, and wanted to stop tightly.
"Oh," Yan Shi was also very well-behaved, and when he heard movement in the car, he grabbed the reins and restrained the footsteps of the ox, and the car slowly stopped.
"Sir, Meng Gongzi, are you awake? Hehe, it's here, it's here. Yan Shi held the whip and waited beside the car, waiting for the two to get out of the car.
Gong Yi Nian Huai and Meng Zhijing jumped out of the car one after the other, looking around.
The courtyard is located on the south bank of Nanchangshui, and can be reached here from the village where Gongyi Nianhuai is located along Nanchangshui to the east. The distance is less than ten miles, and when the weather is clear and the line of sight is unobstructed, standing on the south long water, you can see the courtyard.
However, there are a few undulating hills and hills between the two villages, which are covered with dense jungle, and there are no yards for trees.
There is also a village in the northwest of the workshop, which is probably the craftsman's village as Yan Shi, and the distance between the two is only one mile, and a small road connects the workshop with the village for the craftsmen to go to work and go home.
The road in front of the temple continues to the east, and I don't know where to go.
The courtyard wall of the courtyard is a brick and concrete structure, which circles a boxy courtyard. The courtyard covers a small area, which is the size of four courtyard houses in old Beijing in later generations.
The gate of the courtyard is a fence gate, which is similar to the gate of the later generations. However, in later generations, most of them were made of iron, and the fence gate of the courtyard was made of wooden planks. Iron arrows are inserted on it, and the roots pierce the sky, and the light is noticeably cold in the rain and fog.
There is a small side gate on each side of the fence gate for people to enter and exit.
"Yanshi, this is your courtyard?" Gong Nian Huai held his hands behind his back and stood in front of the courtyard like looking at antiques.
"Sir, Mr. Meng, please." Yan Shi stretched out his hand to invite the two of them into the hospital, "Mr. said with a smile, where is this Yuan Zhi's hospital, Yuan Zhi is just the main thing." ”
"Yan Zuotou, I remember that there is a plaque on this door, with the word "Zuoyuan", why is it missing." Meng Zhijing looked at it as he walked, and it seemed that he hadn't been here much.
"Hehe, Meng Gongzi has a good memory, one night a year ago, the plaque was gone."
"Gone? Stolen? Haha, the thief who stole the plaque has good eyesight. Meng Zhijing was overjoyed, if it weren't for the fact that he was on one acre and three points of land, he might have to let go of his arms and laugh.
"Yes, yes. Meng Gongzi said that Mr. would know when he entered the hospital. Yan Shi saw that Gong Nian Huai looked like a village barbarian who had just entered the Grand View Garden, and he looked at it with relish on a brick and a piece of wood, as if it was stained with gold dust.
The three of them entered the courtyard through the side door, and followed Yan Shi all the way along the Yonglu Road.
There were occasional noises coming from the houses on either side, and more houses were locked. The yard is quite tidy, but everywhere shows a sense of depression, lack of popularity, and a sense of depression.
"Sir, Meng Gongzi, the blacksmith furnace is behind, Li Zhen and Wang Gui are there, let's go there and have a look."
"Oh, Yan Zuotou, you can find your little gentleman, I want to see what kind of mortar you make. I think your little gentleman is in line with me. ”
"Sir?" Yan Shi stared at Gong Yi Nian Huai.
"Let's look at your sample cannon first, to be honest, it's strict, it's strange that you can make a cannon. Where, take us directly to see, haven't you tried the cannon yet, and try two more shots. "Gong Nian Huai didn't understand all the way, how could Yan Shi get the cannon out so quickly.
"Okay, let's go this way." Yan Shi led the two straight to the northeast.
There are two houses on the backyard wall, and at first glance they look like storerooms or something. There was no one outside, only the grass in the corner of the wall was bathed in rain and dew, and it became more and more green and green.
"What about people?" Push the door open, and there was no one inside.
"Sir, Meng Gongzi, please, this is a sample cannon." Yan Shi pointed into the room.
The two of them came into the room, and it was a utility room, with some wood, brass and so on piled up in the corner. In the middle of the room was a bench with a saw leaning against it.
"Where?" Gong Nian Huai turned around, but he didn't see the long iron pipe. Except for a pile of copper and the saw, which was considered metal, everything else in the room was wood.
Standing out from the crowd, why the crane is so conspicuous, is different. In the same way, if there is an iron pipe in this house, it can naturally pierce people's eyes.
Gong Nian Huai didn't see it, and the doubts on his face became even stronger, and his expression was a little unhappy.
"Yan Zuotou, this is the sample cannon you said." Meng Zhijing pointed to a bamboo tube lying horizontally by the window and asked.
"Meng Gongzi's good eyesight is exactly this bamboo tube." Yan Shi bowed his waist, picked up the bamboo tube from the ground, and brought it to Gong Nian Huai, "Sir, please see, this is a sample cannon." ”
"Uh---" Gong Nian Huai was directly petrified. Nima's, what about the deceiver? Is the barrel made of bamboo? It's pretty much the same as setting off fireworks.
"Yan Zuotou, is this a spindle bomb?" Meng Zhijing saw that there was a wooden box next to the bamboo tube, opened it, took out a wooden mortar shell from it, and came over to let Gong Nian Huai see it.
Gong Nian Huai saw that the model of this mortar shell was made very standardly, and even in such a hurry, the craftsmen did not forget to polish and plane.
"Sir, sir," Yan Shi saw that Gong Nian Huai directly ignored the bamboo tube he was holding, and was still very aggrieved, and he tried his best to make up, and he had to touch Gong Nian Huai, as if waiting for the top of the living Buddha to open up.
Gong Nian Huai hates disgust and disgusting, Nima's, such an apprentice will not accept it, and he will be sent tomorrow, shame.
In terms of the pressure of the mortar when fired, can this broken bamboo tube withstand it? The shell didn't fire, it split itself first.
"Strict, don't go any further, don't say it's your idea." Gong Nian Huai's face hated that iron could not become steel, and he could hollow out Yan Shi with Yan Shi's eyes, and directly used him as a cannon barrel.
"Hey, hey, sir, don't say it, it's really not Yuan Zhi's idea, what's the matter, sir, don't you like it?" Yan Shi didn't seem to see the disgusted expression of Gong Nian Huai, and he still sold it vigorously.
"What's the matter, Nian Huai, this is no different from what you painted, I think it will work. Hasn't Yan Zuotou tried, if you don't like it, let's try and change it. ”
The length of time spent together is really different, Meng Zhijing saw at a glance that Gong Nian Huai's displeasure was coming, and he was busy beating the side drum for Yan Shi.
In Meng Zhijing's eyes, isn't it just a pipe, what iron, bamboo, it's just a pipe, how can there be so much attention.
"Well," Gong Nian Huai almost pinched his nose, took the bamboo tube in Yan Shi's hand, and checked it in his hand, but it was also light, it was not a problem for one person to carry eight, the bamboo was finely textured, and it was not bad to split the fire, and it would take another thousand years to be a cannon pipe.
"Okay, Yanshi, go get the guy who, oh, just came up with the idea of making a barrel out of a bamboo tube, and I'll meet him. If you test the gun, you won't use this spindle-shaped bullet? Gong Yi Nian Huai pointed to the model of the cannonball in Meng Zhijing's hand, "Also, you are testing the cannon in this courtyard, right?" Okay, Brother Meng, let's wait outside the door. ”
Yan Shi glanced at Meng Zhijing, Meng Zhijing winked at him, smiled and didn't speak, and followed Gong Nian Huai to the courtyard.
The ground in the yard is also solid, although it is not a bluestone slab paving, but the ground is pressed solid, it may be tamped with triple soil, not afraid of awl piercing, and there is no grass drilled, not that someone often pulls out weeds, or these soils are cooked when building roads.
"Then, sir, Meng Gongzi, please wait, Yuan Zhi will go and call someone." Yan Shi didn't understand why Gong Nian Huai was unhappy, so he trotted all the way to find someone with his robe.
"This is the first to do, back to his own one-third of an acre of land, and I have to run away by myself to find someone, and I have no energy." Gong Nian Huai looked at Yan Shi's slightly fat body, and ran trembling slightly, and his heart was amused.
"Hehe, you don't know yet, in fact, this Yan Zuotou has eaten a lot of melons from our loyal army, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the position of deputy head for four years." Meng Zhijing had a smile on his face, and he didn't know whether he was gloating or feeling sorry.
