Ankang pondered while drinking water, and the hand holding the water cup did not put it down for a long time.

It's not true to say you're as fierce as a tiger, but to say you're out of control is to the point. An uncontrolled person, like an uncontrolled knife. It can hurt others as well as itself.

Therefore, Ankang believes that Song Xiayang's analysis is correct. He faced not only the blow of Song Xiayang's cousin Song Xiachen, but also the blow of his other cousin, Song Xiayu, who had never met.

The king's two sons even wanted to deal with me. Then my situation is indeed not an ordinary danger. Ankang felt that this matter was a little difficult to do.

He asked Song Xiayang: "You say, do they want to deal with me or with my family?" ”

Song Xiayang thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid they don't have enough reason to deal with your family." Your father was a city lord after all. Although the position of the city lord is not high, he is also a big member of the party, and not everyone dares to attack the city lord easily. ”

"That's fine!" An Kang was relieved, "If you want to deal with me, just come directly at me." ”

Song Xiayang poured himself a bowl of water, presented it to An Kang and said, "Big brother, no matter what the situation is, I, Song Xiayang, will always protect you." ”

"I know." An Kang raised the water cup and touched Song Xiayang's water glass, and replied with satisfaction, "Last time, Song Xiachen found a reason to put me in prison, but in the end, I was freed thanks to your rescue." ”

"That time, we didn't save it."

Ankang was a little surprised: "Huh? Didn't you save it? So who rescued me? The man who wants to kill me is the son of the king. Is it the king? ”

"It can't be a monarch. He didn't even know about it at the time. ”

"Who else could it be?" What Ankang thought was reasonable before, now there is a new situation.

Song Xiayang shook his head.

He didn't know how Ankang was released from prison at all, and thought that there was something superior behind Ankang.

Apart from the monarch, who else in this country can command the Song City Lord and Song Xiachen?

Although it is said that the monarch's wife He Hou has this kind of influence, she is Song Xiachen's mother, so she will naturally go to her son.

However, knowing that Song Xiayu might be an enemy of him and that there was a mysterious person who rescued him was not Ankang's original intention to find Song Xiayang.

Ankang asked Song Xiayang: "I heard Qiushuang say that you have already collected all the materials for making steam engines?" ”

Song Xiayang replied: "Yes." I've sent them all back. According to previous estimates, it would certainly be no problem to build ten steam engines. ”

"Okay. This time, though, we're going to build more than ten steam engines. I'll go back and revise the blueprints, and I'm going to make as many steam engines as possible out of as little copper as possible. Plus, there's some money here, and you can buy another batch of materials to come back. Ankang took out a piece of colorful cloth and handed it to Song Xiayang.

This is another sum of money that Nangong Man later gave to Ankang.

"Still want to buy some? Is it all used to make a steam engine? ”

"Yes. All of them were made into steam engines. Ankang stood up and waved his fist into the sky—

"The age of steam is about to begin!"

"Is the age of steam about to begin? That's great! The one who said this was Song Qiushuang who ran in from outside the tent.

For the steam engine, Song Qiushuang was very interested.

Ankang's modified carriage, Song Qiushuang doesn't know how many times she has played it. At first, she also had Anfu to help boil the water by the side, and she controlled the steering wheel herself. Later, even Anfu didn't need it.

She herself converted a copper stove used in her family into a stove suitable for carrying into a carriage. After the fire in the stove boiled the water in the copper kettle, Song Qiushuang could drive the carriage down the street by herself.

She almost became the supervisor of her brother who carried out the purchase task, and urged her brother to buy the materials back quickly. No matter how high the price of the steam engine was set, Song Qiushuang intended to be the first to buy it herself.

An Kang once asked Song Qiushuang what she was going to do with her steam engine. According to An Kang's understanding, Song Qiushuang must have installed the steam engine on her own cute carriage. So that she could drive around her garden in a carriage.

But Ankang really guessed wrong, because Song Qiushuang told him that the purpose was - "Don't tell you!" ”

Accompanied by Song Xiayang and Song Qiushuang, Ankang went to the place where the materials were stacked and inspected it, and was very satisfied.

Now that the materials are complete, we can start work just after the design is ready.

The members of the previous manufacturing team remained largely unchanged. Although the families of some of the classmates had moved to Gushan City with the Song City Lord, the parents of those classmates basically agreed to let them stay in Chengxi City to help Ankang.

On the one hand, Ankang is indeed the young hero who saved them, and on the other hand, even if those classmates go to Gushan City, they are still doing the work of rebuilding the city, so it is better to stay in the city of Shenxi to make steam engines.

What's more, the people who knew that Ankang was building the steam engine also wanted them to finish it sooner.

After the vigorous marketing of Ankang and the Song brothers and sisters, the steam engine has left an excellent reputation in the minds of many people.

And the tap water supply system and shower system that Ankang claims to use a steam engine to build have already made countless wives and ladies excited after the publicity of An Yiyu and Song Qiushuang.

At that time, the beauty bathing would be a different style.

On the way back to his tent from the material storage yard, Ankang unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Huh, Xiaoxi? Why are you still here? ”

Xiaoxi looked up and saw that it was Ankang, and said happily: "Well-off? You're here too. I'm asking everywhere about your whereabouts, and I'm really anxious. ”

My whereabouts? Will you know my whereabouts?

It's just that he has been pretending to be a civilian in front of Xiaoxi, and he hasn't told him where he lives, and it is of course impossible to inquire about his whereabouts.

Ankang said: "I have been inquiring about your whereabouts. When I returned to the city after the earthquake, your embroidery workshop was empty. You're not a native of Fallen West City, so why don't you go somewhere else? Why are you still here? ”

Xiaoxi said, "Because I've been looking for you." ”

Because they were always looking for me and worried about me, they stayed in this place of right and wrong. A warm current in Ankang's heart.

Ankang is not worried about Xiaoxi's safety. He sent people again and again to inquire about Xiaoxi's whereabouts, but there was no news.

Actually, if Xiaoxi knew his identity, he wouldn't have to trouble each other so much. It's just that I've been hiding my identity all the time that causes this difficulty.

Now do you want to tell her who you really are? Ankang thought about it and decided that it would be best as before.

As a child of an official family, it is rare to have such a commoner as Xiaoxi as a friend, which is very precious.

This time, the two teenagers were very happy.
