There was a creaking sound in the yard, as if someone was sawing the wood with a saw or something. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Knock knock." The gate outside the courtyard was open, but Wang Fuman still knocked on the big open door, and no one responded for a long time.

"Is no one there?" Chu Tiankuo was a little strange, obviously there was a sound of someone working in the courtyard.

Chu Tiankuo raised his foot and stretched out from the open door frame, Wang Fuman was shocked and pulled Chu Tiankuo back.

"You kid don't want to die?" Pulling Chu Tiankuo back, Wang Fuman patted his chest and said.

"What's wrong?" Chu Tiankuo looked out of his condition, and Lin Ran also felt a little strange about Wang Fu's strange behavior, could it be that there was any danger behind this ordinary wooden door?

"Rich Wang, is there anything wrong behind this gate?" Lin Ran asked.

Wang Fuong explained: "Behind this gate, there are a large number of mechanisms, which my friend used to defend against bandits and wild beasts in the mountains and forests, if he had entered rashly just now, he would have become a hedgehog now, lying in the middle of the courtyard."

"Is it so powerful?" Chu Tiankuo scratched his head, a little unconvinced.

Wang Fuman said: "Let's wait here first, my friend is also a master craftsman, he won't pay attention to the outside world at all, and when he finishes his work, he will come and lead us in." ”

Lin Ran and Wang Fuman sat outside the courtyard, resting and waiting.

Time passed quickly, and the sunlight in the sky was gradually slanting to the west, but the rustling and sawing sound in the yard was still the same, and there was no intention of stopping.

Fortunately, Lin Ran and Chu Tiankuo are both relatively patient people, and they can still sit quietly and with peace of mind, if Ah Fei comes over this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it back now, and now I'm afraid they are all going over the corner.

However, Ah Fei was no longer there, but Zhou An, who was beside Lin Ran, was a little angry, and said: "This person's shelf is really big, we have been waiting here for a day, and we haven't come out yet, I want to go in and see what this arrogant person looks like." ”

Zhou An held the sword in his hand and strode into the house, the incident happened suddenly, this time even Wang Fuman didn't have time to hold him and prevent Zhou An from entering the small courtyard.

After Zhou An entered the gate, he looked around, and at first he didn't find anything abnormal, and there was no danger as Wang Fuman said, so he beckoned Lin Ran and Chu Tiankuo behind him to come in together.

But the moment he turned around, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot from behind Zhou An.

"Be careful, you're in danger behind you!" Chu Tiankuo waved his hand to Zhou An anxiously and reminded.

Zhou An had sensed that something was wrong one step earlier, and he had already heard the sound of arrows flying at high speed behind him.

Zhou An turned his head, dodged a few arrows at once, and then rolled on the ground, and the remaining arrows fell on his previous position one after another, sinking into the ground for several centimeters, which shows how fierce the bow is.

And compared to ordinary arrows, these arrows are shorter, and the arrows are more special than ordinary bows and arrows, and the top is a four-edged arrow with barbs, which should be a crossbow arrow.

"And!" Chu Tiankuo saw that Zhou An did not dodge all the arrows that were shooting at him at this time, and now behind his head, there was still an arrow rapidly approaching him.

"Khooth!" A crisp voice sounded, but at such a critical moment, Zhou An pulled out the saber in his hand with a fast hand speed, and cut off the arrows flying behind him with a sword.

Wang Fuman was a little dumbfounded, this person, the strength of martial arts, far surpassed the middle-level general-level bodyguards hired at a high price behind him. When did Xiaobai invite this kind of master to his side?

"It's kind of interesting, but it's still a lot worse to deal with me." Zhou An put the long sword into the scabbard and said with a smile.

"Come back quickly, don't be presumptuous in the yard." Lin Ran called Zhou An back, stayed by his side, and waited for the owner of the courtyard to appear.

Finally, as dusk approached, a man appeared at the gate of the courtyard, dressed in sawdust, and holding in his hand a huge wooden saddle, which was many times larger than an ordinary saddle, and even an adult had to use all his strength to carry it.

"Xu Ge, you finally came out." Wang Fuman breathed a sigh of relief, this brother Xu has a strange personality, sometimes even if he is at home, he still can't see him if he is in a bad mood, but now that he has appeared at the door, it means that he is in a good mood today.

Xu Ge kicked the crossbow arrows under the door with his foot, and said with a flat face: "If I don't come out again, I'm afraid you will have to demolish my yard today." Tell me, what drawings do you want for this time? ”

This Xu Ge is obviously a person who doesn't like to talk very much, concise and clear, and said very directly.

Wang Fuman smiled awkwardly: "I have a friend who is a little reckless today, please forgive me." I'm not here today to ask for drawings, but mainly because I have a friend who wants to get to know you. He was a general. ”

"General? Know me? Xu Ge shook his head and said, "What do I have to know, but I'm just an ordinary man, so I won't accompany him." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to go back to his room.

Wang Fuman shook his head at Lin Ran and said: "My friend is like this, a person who came by temperament, now I'm afraid that even if the Son of Heaven comes and wants to see him, he will also say this and refuse in one bite." Let's go back first and come back later. ”

Lin Ran carefully looked at the strange saddle in Xu Ge's hand, this thing seemed to be a little familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.

That's right.

Lin Ran remembered that when he traveled to the Yunnan border again, he had seen this strange saddle, but this saddle was not an ordinary saddle, but a saddle used by the people there when riding elephants.

That's right, this must be an elephant saddle!

The saddle in Xu Ge's hand is much more delicate and beautiful than the elephant saddle that Lin Ran saw in reality, and it is decorated with many things on the outside of the saddle, and the saddle itself is also carved in many styles, which is very good-looking.

It's just that in the Yangzhou area, there are no elephants, what is Xu Ge doing with this elephant saddle?

"Brother Xu, this is an elephant saddle you made, right? Did you domesticate elephants here? Lin Ran asked loudly.

"How do you know I'm making this elephant saddle?" Xu Ge turned his head strangely and looked at Lin Ran, there was no elephant in the Central Plains, even in the Nanban region, which was rich in elephants, there was no elephant saddle, which was completely researched by himself.

It stands to reason that no one knows anything like a saddle yet, but it's strange that this kid has broken down his word. (To be continued.) )
