Chapter 031: Disappointment
Tang Ruyue was quite trustworthy, and she didn't let Tang Wanwan wait long before she came.
I'm quite happy to see her come to Tang Wanwan, and I finally have a slightly more reliable girl. She asked if there was anything going on at home, but she actually wanted to find out what was going on. Yesterday, I only heard Mrs. Zhang and Wang screaming in the yard, and she didn't know if they had been stung or not, and to what extent they were injured.
Speaking of yesterday's incident, it was also a coincidence, if Tang Ruyue hadn't suddenly appeared in front of her, maybe she would have gone to the door of the old mansion to see the specific situation inside.
Tang Ruyue said that her mother and grandmother were stung by bees, and the injuries were a bit bad. Fortunately, her father invited Dr. Xu overnight and helped them with medicine, and they were already much better.
Tang Wanwan couldn't help but "chuckle" when she heard this, and her face couldn't help showing a little disappointment, it hurt like this, it was really cheap for them. And why is this Xu Xiaoyou working so hard, it's good to make them hurt for a few more days. The Xu family's medical skills are not bad, Xu Xiaoyou rubbed the medicine on them, and they will definitely get better soon.
But she said, "That's okay, nothing big happened." ”
Tang Ruyue couldn't help but look at the expression on Tang Wanwan's face with curiosity, and asked, "Sister Wanwan must hate my mother and grandmother very much in her heart, I thought you wanted them to have an accident." ”
Tang Wanwan's expression suddenly turned grim, and she said in her heart: This girl's eyes are also quite poisonous. I don't know if she was unintentional, or if the story tested herself. She couldn't help but laugh and replied. "Xiaoyue, how do you speak, how do I hope they are unlucky, after all, we are a family, broken tendons and bones."
"By the way, your mother didn't ask you, where did you go last night?" How did Tang Wanwan think that Tang Ruyue came back too smoothly. It stands to reason that the Wang family shouldn't have detained her at home and prevented her from coming to their house. She also had a fight with her that day and dislocated her hand. According to Wang's dog temper, he should find another reason to knock on the door and get some face back.
"Yes, I said I came to you." This time it was Tang Ruyue's turn to be a little flustered. She turned her face away and glanced toward the courtyard.
"Oh, then she didn't embarrass you."
"It's my mother, after all." Tang Ruyue replied, but listening to her voice, it was obvious that there was some duplicity.
Tang Wanwan smiled indifferently, and should have revealed the matter. "That's good." I'm still worried that your mother and Ruyi will embarrass you. ”
Then she took Tang Ruyue's hand, and the sisters entered the courtyard together.
When she arrived at the yard, Tang Ruyue's eyes never left the simple filter that Tang Wanwan had just made, in fact, as long as you know the principle, it is very simple to make. Today's time is a bit rushed, if Tang Wanwan is given time and tools, she can make a filter ten times better than this.
I saw that she was a little surprised to look at the sudden extra thing in the yard, if she remembered correctly, there was no such thing before leaving, it looked so strange. "Ah, what is this, Sister Juan, did you do it? What are you used for? ”
Tang Ruyue just glanced at the front, and found that a corner of the courtyard had a new device, a wooden barrel, a bamboo pipe and the like. It was connected to the salt pool below, so her eyes lit up.
"Yes, I use it to filter salt. Xiaoyue, in fact, the salt we eat has harmful substances in it, so it is safe to filter, and the taste of salt will be different. ”
"Ah, the salt we eat is poisonous?" Tang Ruyue looked extremely surprised.
"Well, yes, our salt is rough-processed, and a lot of toxic substances in it are not filtered out. Add charcoal, plus filtered gauze, and you can isolate toxic substances. ”
Tang Ruyue suddenly secretly wrote it down in her heart, and then asked a few more questions. Tang Wanwan didn't want to hide it from her, so she told her.
Tang Ruyue looked very happy, and said with a smile, "Sister Juan is so smart, she actually thought of doing this, how do you know?" ”
"I'll know when people do it." Tang Wanwan pulled Tang Ruyue to Xiaoyi and Xiaorou, and asked the two of them to listen to Sister Xiaoyue.
Xiao Rou was very well-behaved, and immediately walked over obediently, holding Tang Ruyue's hand, looking very well-behaved. Xiaorou is a girl after all, and she is also timid, as long as she tells her, she can play at home all day. Xiaoyi is a boy, and he wants to go out and play. Keeping him at home all day, he was always thinking about sneaking out. Hearing that Tang Wanwan asked him to be obedient at home, he immediately made a request. "Eldest sister, can I go out to collect firewood? I'll pick it up in the back of the house and go anywhere else. ”
"Otherwise, I'll go to the river to pick up snails, and I won't go to the deep water."
Tang Wanwan quickly saw through his little tricks. Immediately refused. "Xiaoyi, wait for my sister to come back at home, you can play skipping rope with Xiaorou and Sister Xiaoyue, or kick the shuttlecock, if you are obedient, I will be rewarded when I come back."
"Alright then, you'll be back sooner." Xiao Yi looked reluctant and drooped his head.
Seeing his depressed look, Tang Wanwan saw the stones on the ground and suddenly had an idea. Holding the stone they usually played with in his hand, he stretched out his hand to him. Spread out her hand, there were three stones in her palm. Tilting his head to look at him, he asked, "Do you want to learn magic tricks from your sister?" ”
"Yes!" Tang Xiaoyi didn't know what magic was, anyway, he knew that what the eldest sister said was right.
"Well, you're optimistic. I have three pebbles in my hand now, and I'm going to make them disappear in a moment. ”
Suddenly, Tang Xiaoyi, Tang Xiaorou, and even Tang Ruyue aroused strong curiosity, and their eyes widened and surrounded Tang Wanwan.
"See clearly, I'm about to change." Tang Wanwan asked them to see the stone in their hands clearly, and then closed their hands. With her other hand, she pressed the fist of this hand, and when she opened her hand, the three pebbles in her hand were gone.
The three of them suddenly opened their mouths wide, looking everywhere for the stone to run.
"Ah, how is this done? Why is the stone gone? ”
"Huh, weird. I obviously looked at Sister Juan's hand and didn't move? ”
"The other hand."
......
"Do it again."
"I'll have to see it this time."
"Well, my eyes widen."
"Your side, I'm looking at the eldest sister here."
.....
At the strong request of the three younger siblings, Tang Wanwan made a poop again, and after reading it, the three of them still couldn't understand how Tang Wanwan operated.
"Hahaha, practice on your own, and I'll tell you the secret when I come back."
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, I want to know now. Where did the stone go? Tang Xiaorou looked up at her sister with an innocent expression.
"No, let me think about it, now the eldest sister is not allowed to say it." Tang Xiaoyi is quite self-respecting.
Tang Ruyue also frowned, thinking hard.
Tang Wanwan left home in the reluctance and doubts of the three of them, and went up the mountain to hunt for treasures.
The things prepared last time, Tang Wanwan didn't need to tidy up more this time, just bring them directly.
She is actually very curious, what kind of material is this back basket made of, the workmanship is very good, the key is where there is such a tough bamboo. Hit it with your hand, and there was a metallic sound, but unfortunately, Tang Wanwan didn't know the name of this bamboo, and there was no relevant information popping out of his mind.
To her surprise, she took the big bow left by her father, and a very nice and domineering name popped up in her head, King Lu Bow. The production process is quite complicated, but after Tang Wanwan saw it, she could also do it, but her arm strength was too small to make a bow with such a large arm strength. A thirty-stone bow is fine, a fifty-stone bow is so-so, and an eighty-stone bow is currently impossible for her to make. Tang Wanwan thought to herself, could it be that this bow also has something to do with the ancestor of Jin Luban?
There are also records of various ancient bows and arrows in the Jin Luban production encyclopedia, and there are many crossbows without King Lu's bow. In particular, repeaters are widely used. Tang Wanwan remembered that their academy and a military academy jointly produced ten kinds of repeaters, large, small, and waterproof, fully automatic and semi-automatic. Second, third, and fifth companies are used more, and at most seven companies are used at a time. The seventh company is divided into two rows, with three crossbows on the top and four on the bottom, which can be mobile or linked.
This is the most proud work that Tang Wanwan and they researched at the beginning, and this is very exquisite in the skills and design skills of the maker. The requirements are very high, the installed springs, the distance between the various crossbows and the linkage, these must be coordinated, otherwise not to mention the five companies, the three companies may not be able to do it.
With such doubts in his heart, Tang Wanwan went up the mountain.
Tang Wanwan searched hard for the original owner's understanding of this mountain forest, and she already knew a rough idea. Tangjia Village is located near the Qilian Mountains, with the eastern end to the Yellow River Valley, connected to the Qinling Mountains and Liupan Mountains. There are glaciers, snow-capped mountains, basins, and there are also high mountains with an altitude of four or five thousand meters. There are also patches of pristine mountain forests, which are infested with wild beasts, blind bears, tigers, and even lions, the king of the forest. It is in the most primitive coniferous zone, and such a moist soil and climate environment is also the favorite environment of the precious Chinese herbal medicine. Presumably, there are many rare and exotic beasts in it.
But opportunities and dangers coexist, only the brave hunters of the art can dare to enter the mountain, the lucky ones can return with a full load, and the bad ones will even take their lives, as for the others, don't think about it. You can only see the excitement in the outer mountains, occasionally get some firewood, wild fruits, and catch one or two rabbits and pheasants, that is to hit the luck.
Tang Wanwan knew that if he wanted to get good things, he had to go to the deep mountains, and even wild fruits were rare in the outer mountains, not to mention that there would be any rare herbs. Fortunately, she had made sufficient preparations before she set off, including tools to climb the mountain, as well as food and water. Along the way, as long as she saw the herbs that could be used, she got them all and put them in the back basket, which had many pockets to put a lot of things. These are all for the unnecessary.
