A violent flash of electric light was followed by a rumbling thunder. The autumn rain is sprinkled on the earth, and the old saying is that one autumn rain is one cold. Maybe we'll have to add clothes after tomorrow.

In the house, Yuan Chenming slept soundly on the kang, and turned over from time to time. Sometimes he still clicks his lips, as if he is enjoying a feast like a full banquet in a dream.

Drip~

Drip~

The slight sound did not wake him from his sleep.

One night later.

In the early morning, the person who woke up came out of the warm bed, shivered and put on his clothes, and faced the bleak reality.

No one can think of it, but no one can afford it.

Wang Desheng was still thinking about yesterday's incident, and came to knock on Yuan Chenming's door: "Have you gotten up, today is the final assembly experiment, get up early." ”

"Got it, wait for me a while."

Yuan Chenming sat up, put on his clothes, and sat on the kang to wake up. Wang Desheng appeared in front of him, but he didn't react, as if the figures reflected in his eyes were fake.

"Hey, wake up. Why aren't you in a hurry to do such a big thing today? ”

"Oh."

Gradually, his eyes regained their former brilliance, and he got off the kang neatly.

As for how Wang Desheng appeared in front of him, the door outside was not locked, there was only a broken door valve, and the hard wind couldn't stop it, let alone people.

Today's task is to assemble a ready-to-use grenade by assembling the prepared black powder into the body of the grenade, and then the carpenter will attach the wooden handle and install the leads.

With a sigh, he came to the corner where the black powder was stacked.

"Ahh~~"

There was a pig-like scream from the west wing, which attracted the attention of all the people around.

One of the reckless warriors clenched their guns and asked, "What's the matter, what's the problem, what's the war, where are the dead?" ”

There was no war, but some people were dying. Yuan Chenming looked at the black powder that had been soaked in water in his hand, and his face was like ashes.

The black powder is useless when soaked in water, and it is useless at all. His hard work in the past few days was all in vain, and he lost his bet with Lao Li.

"Hey, I haven't made anything, and I have to eat Xiaozao, it's shameless!"

Li Yunlong is probably not so mean, but others may not be able to say it. Where did he put his face, it was a shame to lose his hair.

After opening all the medicine bags, Wang Desheng checked it, and his heart was also half cold.

All wet, no one was spared. The leftover earth and charcoal used to make black powder did not escape the catastrophe.

By the way, Yuan Chenming only took a small part of the black powder when he prepared it yesterday, and there were still a lot of materials with him.

Thinking of this, his mood was much better, and he was relieved: "These black powders are wet, it's okay." Let's match it again. ”

"Without sulfur, you can't match black powder."

"That's okay, the sulfur isn't that difficult, I've already asked people to find it, and I'm sure I'll be able to get more in two days, enough for you."

"But tomorrow is when I will meet the head of the regiment." Yuan Chenming thought that he would lose face in front of many people, and was pointed at and ridiculed by many people.

He suddenly became anxious, stood up and shouted angrily at Wang Desheng: "If you can't get the finished product, I will lose!" I've never been so embarrassed. ”

Wang Desheng was stunned in place, he had never seen Yuan Chenming make such a fire, and he was stunned by this inexplicable fire.

The house leaked, and it happened to soak the black powder, and no one could have imagined this kind of accident.

Besides, the loss is not very large, as long as the formula of black powder is not forgotten, it can be continued at any time.

It's because you lost the bet and lost face, and you get so angry, as for it?

He didn't ask, because Yuan Chenming had already run away.

"Hey, slow down, be careful of bumping into people." Chen Li, who had just walked back from the hospital, was almost hit. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that the soldiers were all there, and I looked at the instructor who was silently busy and wanted to tan the gunpowder.

"Instructor, what's going on? Who's ...... How did you run out. ”

"It's none of your business, go ahead with your business." The instructor is not in a very good mood, and he is not unaware of the strange words of some people in private, but he has been busy recently and is unwilling to deal with them.

After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable job, so he called: "Wang Maomao, you go and find a large piece of oiled paper or oilcloth, spread these things, and dry them." When Lao Lu asked, you told him that I would go to the regiment headquarters. ”

Seeing the instructor leave, Chen Li gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "The instructor is eccentric, hum." ╭(╯^╰)╮”

When the other warriors saw that there was no excitement to see, they dispersed, and he went up to inquire with someone. As long as it is related to Yuan Chenming, no matter what is good or bad, he has to pay attention to it. If it's bad, that's even better.

"Wang Maomao, what happened just now, then who ran away, I think it's quite hot!" Chen Li maliciously guessed: "Did you fall out with the instructor?" ”

Wang Maomao didn't have so many eyes, and he saw what happened just now, standing at the door. Since a comrade-in-arms who stirred a horse spoon in a pot opened his mouth, he also told it.

"It's the things that Da Xiu made that got wet and couldn't be used. It seems that he made a bet with the head of the regiment to use it, but now it may not be possible, because he is angry with the instructor because of this. ”

Chen Li nodded thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

……………

Is face so important, as for making a big deal out of it?

For some, how much is face worth? The skin is as thick as the city wall, and the spit is dry. Or you hit the left cheek and immediately offer the right cheek, it doesn't matter.

But for young people, especially those who have not experienced any setbacks, face is more important than the sky.

For Wang Desheng, as long as he can finally build a suitable grenade, it will be a great success.

But for Yuan Chenming, making this gadget is a way for him to prove himself.

When he made a bet with Li Yunlong, then this gadget contained more meaning - his face.

A tree lives a skin, and a man lives a face.

If Ming'er can't come up with something to convince Li Yunlong, it will be a failure for him. After a person's face is lost, if he finds it back in the future, it will not be the same one.

He couldn't stand the grievance. That's what makes you angry.

This run, which was more energetic than the previous morning run, ran directly out of the village. Finally, on the ramp outside the village, I stopped.

Just don't say goodbye, he doesn't have that kind of idea yet.

He just wanted to find a place where no one was around, and think about how to find this face back.

If he can't get something tomorrow, how will Grand Master Li laugh at him?

Maybe he won't laugh, but he will look at him with that kind of look: Hey, this little white face is really unreliable, and he can say big things.

The head of the regiment has a big deal here, and it won't be long before the whole group will know. Then he will become a celebrity, but this name is not a good name.

Thinking that he would lose face in front of more than a thousand people, Yuan Chenming had the heart to find a place to plant it headlong.

Of course, he is afraid of death, and that kind of stupid thing is just thinking about it, and he will not do it at all. If he is really not afraid of death, then he is afraid that his face will not be broken by bullets.

He is afraid of death, and he also wants to be embarrassed.

That pitiful self-esteem can't bear to make a fool of himself in public, and is used by more than 1,000 people as an after-dinner conversation.
