138 days of thunder

"Su Baihu, it's not good, something happened, something big happened!"

He Bencheng, the soldier who acted as a messenger, said in a loud voice when he saw Su Hao, scaring Su Hao enough.

"He Bencheng, why are you here, what's wrong?" Su Hao asked.

He Bencheng said: "That Chen Daochang, I don't know what to do in the barracks, but it caused a thunderstorm and blew up the barracks at once. Now that the barracks are in chaos inside and outside, it was Mr. Hao who sent a villain to deliver a letter to Su Baihu. ”

"Heavenly thunder?" Su Hao stroked his forehead with his hand. Dizzy, if you don't make a mistake, you must have fried the nitroglycerin developed by Chen Guanyu, this kind of fierceness beyond the imagination of the times**, in the eyes of the people at that time, wasn't it a thunderbolt? This thing exploded in the barracks, can his own survey camp still exist?

"How many people were wounded, but there were no dead people?" Su Hao asked anxiously.

"Wounded one, but not dead." He Bencheng replied.

"Oh......" Su Hao's heart was relieved at this time, he said it so terrifyingly, and said what kind of thunder it was, but only one person was injured, "Who is the injured person?" ”

"It's Chen Daochang himself." He Bencheng said, "The place where Chen Daochang lives is on the corner of the barracks, and there is a dirt slope across it. The thunder blew up the shed where he lived, but our soldiers were unharmed. ”

"Is Chen Daochang badly injured?" Su Hao then asked.

"I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, my clothes were all broken, and in addition, Daochang Chen's soul seemed to be scared away, crying and laughing, which was strange and scary. When I came, Deng Zongqi was guarding him with people, for fear that something would happen to him. He Bencheng replied, I don't know at first, Su Hao felt that there seemed to be some schadenfreude in his answer, it was estimated that Chen Guanyu usually pretended to be a ghost a lot, and he was tired of the soldiers.

Although he knew that nothing was too big, Su Hao still quickened his pace and hurried back to the barracks. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the barracks, I saw a large group of people watching the excitement in front of the door, and there seemed to be some voices of dispute in front of them. Su Hao pushed aside the crowd and came to the front, and found that one party in dispute was Hao Tong, and the other party was Xiao An, the head of the fast shift of the county government.

"What's going on?" Su Hao stepped forward and asked.

"Su Baihu, you're back." Hao Tong saluted Su Hao and greeted.

Xiao An turned his head and saw that it was Su Hao, and he quickly put away his official face, and said, "Master Su, you are back." ”

"Lao Xiao, what are you doing here? Why did you get to my barracks? Su Hao looked at Xiao An, pretending to be ignorant, and asked.

Xiao An said: "Master Su, you don't know anything. Early this morning, there was a sudden loud noise in your camp, the ground shook, and the people in the county town were disturbed. Lord Han ordered me to quickly bring the fast squad to inspect, but as a result, this Hao Bingye said that the barracks are heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter, and insisted on not letting the villain in, and we are discussing it here. ”

The first time Xiao An and Su Hao met was when the ruffians harassed Lu Xiu'er, at that time, Su Hao's master's status was not stable, and other officials in the county government were thinking about killing him, so at that time, Xiao An was polite to Su Hao on the surface and arrogant in his heart, thanks to Dai Qi's mediation, there was no conflict.

But in the past few months, the situation has changed significantly, Su Hao opened a coal kiln, pulled all the officials into the shares, and settled all kinds of relationships in the county in one fell swoop. Later, he received the support of the military and became a hundred households with five products, and his status was even more different from the past. Xiao An was respectful to Su Hao at this time, both on the outside and on the inside, and did not dare to offend in the slightest.

Hearing Xiao An's words, Su Hao turned his head to Hao Tong and asked, "Mr. Hao, what did Xiao Bantou say?" ”

Hao Tong said: "Qi Su Baihu, this time you went to Luoshan to investigate, and you were attacked by gangsters, and your body was damaged. The subordinates asked the mage, and they said that it was caused by evil spirits in the camp. Therefore, his subordinates specially invited Chen Daochang of Qingdu Temple to come and subdue demons. Chen Daochang's mana is profound, he has investigated the demonic cave, and the heavenly lightning has struck the demon, causing some disturbances, which is to disturb the people in the city. ”

Seeing Hao Tong talking nonsense with a face full of calm, Su Hao almost laughed out loud. This explanation is really too appropriate, since everyone thinks that the ** experiment is a thunderbolt, then simply say that the thunder is good, anyway, Chen Guanyu is indeed an old man, and it is his housekeeping ability to lead thunder and subdue demons.

"Xiao Bantou, look, this is a disturbance caused by Daochang Chen's actions, so go back and report to the county honorable man." Su Hao said to Xiao An.

Xiao An said with a bitter face: "Master Su, what Thunder said this day is too shocking, and the little one is afraid that it won't be able to be said on the county side." Otherwise, can you bother the master to go back to the county government with the little one, and the master will explain it to the county lord in person. The words of the master, the county has always believed very much, and the master said one sentence, which is worth 10,000 words for the villains. ”

"Old Xiao, didn't you see that I just returned from afar? There's such a big thing in the camp, so I naturally have to deal with it first, right? In this way, you go back and report to the county lord first, and say that after I am busy with the affairs in the camp, I will go to the county office to explain to the county lord in person and apologize. Su Hao said.

"That's fine, the villain will go back to his life." Xiao An saluted Su Hao, and then left with the catchers. To tell the truth, if he wasn't afraid that he would not be able to explain in front of Han Wen, he would have wanted to leave a long time ago, how could he dare to chirp with the regular army if he was fast.

Seeing Xiao An leaving, Hao Tong waved his hand to the onlookers and said, "Okay, okay, all the folks, please go back, there's nothing lively to see." ”

The people took two or three steps back, but they still looked at the barracks reluctantly, wanting to see what was the mystery that made such a big move.

Su Hao turned his head and said to everyone with a straight face: "Fellow villagers, you better disperse as soon as possible." Chen Daochang attracted the thunder of heaven and slashed off a demon, but I am afraid that there are still demonic disciples and grandchildren who want to take revenge. The yang energy of the soldiers is heavy, and the demons can't get up, if you stay here, you will be a scapegoat when you turn back. ”

This frightening sentence was clear-sighted, and the people at the scene were really a little scared. Especially the women present were even more convinced of this evil theory, and they all pulled their men and ran away quickly. Those who didn't quite believe in this statement, seeing that the people around them were scattered, found it boring, so they also slowly left.

Hao Tong called a few soldiers to guard the door, and led Su Hao into the barracks. As soon as he entered the gate of the barracks, Su Hao said with a smile: "Old Hao, you are really good now, what nonsense about the heavenly thunder and demon has been made up?" ”

"I didn't make it up, I was taught by Chen Daochang." Hao Tong also said with a smile, "He said that he was ordered by Su Baihu to try to produce **, but this matter is not to be publicized, so he used the theory of heaven and thunder to prevaricate the official errand." It's just that I don't know if Han Zhixian will believe it. ”

Su Hao said: "Han Zhixian is an understanding person, this kind of rhetoric can't hide from him, just go to the county government and explain it to him when I go back." We are the army, and the trial production is also an internal matter, and the county government will not interfere. By the way, what did the scene look like, where was Daochang Chen, and how did it happen? ”

"Su Baihu, I'll take you to have a look, Daochang Chen is also over there, you can ask him for the specific situation." Hao Tong said.

Su Hao followed Hao Tong around a small dirt slope and came to the small empty field allocated to Chen Guanyu as an experimental site. When he walked over and saw it, Su Hao was really startled. I saw that the ground was in a mess, the original wooden shed was gone, and shards of charred wood flew all over the ground, and some things even flew dozens of steps away. In the center of the explosion, there was a large earth pit more than two feet deep and more than one zhang in diameter, and the red soil under it had turned into the appearance of coke.

It is also thanks to Su Hao's foresight in advance that he did not let Chen Guanyu stay at Qingduguan's home to do experiments, otherwise this explosion would be enough to raze Qingduguan.

"Where's Chen Guanyu?" Su Hao four advisors.

Before the words fell, Chen Guanyu ran over from the side, followed by Deng Kui and several soldiers. Chen Guanyu shouted as he ran: "Master Su, I'm here." Master Su, you're back, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you in this life. ”

"Lao Chen, are you okay?" Su Hao looked at Chen Guanyu and asked with concern.

It was impossible to say that Chen Guanyu was fine, but I saw that his hair had been half burned, his face and body were black, and the Taoist robe on his body had become a beggar's outfit, with thousands of holes and sores, and some blood stains. Since He Bencheng said that no one else was injured at the scene, the bloodstain could only come from Chen Guanyu himself.

In addition to the embarrassment on the outside, Chen Guanyu's mental state is also obviously a little wrong, and it can be seen that it is the kind of excited state after being greatly frightened. He rushed to Su Hao in a hurry, and said with his hands dancing: "Master Su, you told the old man what I did, I did it successfully!" Hahahaha, I made it! I did it! ”

"Uh...... Lao Chen, can we speak normally, don't follow the style of other Swedes, okay? Su Hao said to Chen Guanyu sweating profusely, he was a little familiar with Chen Guanyu's words, it seemed that someone named Nuo Er said this back then. That's a beautiful talk in the history of science, what's going on with Chen Guanyu?

"Master Su, what nitroglycerin you are talking about, I have already prepared it. …… Alas, it's a pity that I was disturbed by a cat, and my old way almost died. When Chen Guanyu said this, tears were about to well-up in his eyes. From ecstasy to great sorrow, it only took him less than a second to switch between the two feelings with such a big difference, and it seems that there is really something wrong with his nerves.

"What cat? Lao Chen, don't worry, sit down and speak slowly. Su Hao said.

Some soldiers brought a few horses for them, Su Hao pulled Chen Guanyu to sit down, Chen Guanyu calmed down, pointed to the big pit on the ground, and began to tell.
