Chapter 9 Zhuge Repeater

After unloading the bamboo at Carpenter Tan, Lin Yishan and An He pushed the cart to the old man who sold mud. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Uncle, I want all your mud noises"

An He said to the old man who sold mud sounds.

"What do you say, you want it all", the old man thought he had misheard

"Yes, clean up for me and move it all to the car". An He said.

The old man's face smiled like a folding fan, and there were more than a hundred mud sounds when he counted them.

"Ten copper plates, all for you". The old man said.

An He asked Lin Yishan to count ten copper plates to his father-in-law, and after the old man took it, he hurriedly helped him load it into the car, worried that An He and Lin Yishan would regret it.

When the two returned home, the willow stake was huge, and the two of them couldn't lift it, and they beckoned their neighbors to come to help, so they lifted the willow stake to the car.

The two were about to leave, An He suddenly remembered something, and asked Lin Yishan and said:

"Didn't you go to school in Mangshan? There can be pen, ink, paper, and inkstone at home. ”

"Yes, there are, but they are often not used and put in the cabinet." Lin Yishan replied.

"Take it out, I'm going to draw two pictures, and let the carpenter Tan make two things according to the pictures." An He said.

Lin Yishan took the pen and ink from the cabinet and put it on the wooden table, and when An He used this brush to draw, he didn't want to listen to the call. Lin Yishan had to burn a few locust sticks into carbon sticks and hand them to An He, who used these carbon sticks to draw a simple basketball hoop shape on a piece of straw paper.

This kind of basketball hoop, An He has seen many times in the countryside in later generations, when the farmers are slack, in order to have fun, the farmers in later generations bought basketball hoops, installed on the self-made rebounds, and then fixed the rebounds on two wooden posts, found a vacant land, buried in the ground, a few and a half young men divided into two groups, played hotly, and had fun.

Of course, Anhe's basketball hoop was never used to play basketball, because there was no such thing in the Tang Dynasty, and the most people played polo was polo, but polo was only circulated in the royal family's official house, because to play something, you have to have a horse to ride, and ordinary people can get horses to ride.

The second one thought about it for a long time, and it took four or five carbon rods to paint, Lin Yishan saw an old man on the science and education channel on TV in later generations, according to the methods recorded in ancient books, after years of research, he finally made the lost Zhuge crossbow, which TV broadcast the production video, is very detailed.

Anhe saw it and tried to make it himself, but in the end, because the carpentry was not good, the made it was extremely rough and not very strong, and after using it a few times, he scattered it.

Behold, Carpenter Tan is so skilled in carpentry, maybe he can do it.

Lin Yishan looked at the picture drawn by An He, but he didn't see the reason. I just felt that the four characters of Zhuge Lian's crossbow were written very ugly, such as a three-year-old child's writing, and I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing, with more contempt in my eyes.

An He put the locust stick used to carry the wild boar last time on the car together with the two iron rings he beat yesterday, and the two of them pulled it to Carpenter Tan's shop.

An He handed over the two pictures to Carpenter Tan, and An He said:

"The willow stake was sawed, according to the requirements of the drawing, beaten into a board the size of a table, the iron ring was burned red, passed through the wooden board, fixed on the wooden board, and then fixed on the wooden board, and then fixed the wooden board on the two bamboo poles, not to seek beauty, not to seek strong and practical."

Carpenter Tan looked at the picture, it was too unchallenging, and he directly handed it over to his subordinates to do.

When he saw the second picture, his face immediately changed, which picture he held and studied carefully, and after looking at it for a while, the solemnity on his face was so thick that he could cut it with a knife.

"What is this thing, what is it used for, and how did the young man draw it like this?" Carpenter Tan asked.

An He said: "This is the legendary Zhuge crossbow, if it can be caused, it can send ten arrows in a row, the production method was obtained by my teacher, and later passed on to me, I drew this picture according to the method dictated by the teacher." ”

Carpenter Tan was stunned, this young man was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had such a creation to get this long-lost method of making Zhuge repeater?

This thing is in Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang's Biography has been seen, which records: "Brightness is longer than ingenuity, profit and loss crossbows, with iron as arrows, arrows are eight inches long, and a crossbow and ten arrows are fired." Wooden oxen and flowing horses, all out of their own imagination".

The skills of Zhuge crossbow and wooden ox and flowing horse have been lost for many years, because there are no specific sketches left, and many skilled craftsmen in later generations, including the apprentices who claimed to be Mozi and Lu Ban, did not make them.

It seems that God gave me Carpenter Tan, so that I can get this picture, if it can be made, although it will not be famous all over the world, but it can restore this thing, which is also a merit for a carpenter.

"If you get this treasure map, if you change it to someone else, it will be regarded as a priceless treasure, how can the young man be willing to show it easily, not afraid of the old man peeping at the fairy machine, and learn your skills?"

An He smiled:

"All the clever things in the world are made by extremely intelligent people, and there are two kinds of extremely intelligent people, one is to keep the created law secret and bring it to the coffin, so that it will be lost in the future generations, and the loss of the creation of heaven and earth.

One is Zhuge Wuhou, who uses his wisdom to serve the country and help the world, and believes that the method of making the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse has also been taught to many people, otherwise with his own strength, how to create enough Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse for transporting grain and grass, but it is the people who know it later to keep it, so he did not pass on this method, I think this is not the original intention of Wu Hou. ”

"This kind of ingenuity can only be made in the hands of skilled craftsmen like you, and it is also a tyrannical thing in my hands, I see that your carpentry skills are exquisite, the so-called flowers are sent to beauties, swords are given to heroes, and the younger generations are willing to ask you to make it according to the drawing, and pass on the method of production to future generations."

An He put this reason in a high-sounding manner, feeling like a selfless saint.

"The young man has such a big heart, it is beyond the reach of the laymen who cherish themselves like us."

When the carpenter heard this, he was ashamed of his thoughts.

"The picture drawn by the young man is too delicate, I am afraid that the old man will not be able to make it in a day or two, and the government strictly prohibits the private manufacture of bows and arrows.

If you don't dislike it, can you come to my house to sit down, I will prepare a little thin wine, the method of making, the things that need to be paid attention to, how to refer to the old man in detail? ”

"That's very good, but it won't bother the shopkeeper Tan." It was already noon, and An He was already hungry and worried that he couldn't find anything to eat, so he agreed to come down.

"However, the two sets of plates I drew for you just now must be made as soon as possible, and I have an urgent need." An He said.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange my men and do it for you now."

Carpenter Tan instructed his two men to stop all the work in their hands and make these two sets of shelves as soon as possible.
