Chapter 30: Preparation

As soon as he turned the corner, Yan Liqiang felt that his back was already covered in cold sweat.

There is an air outlet in the corner of the wall, and as soon as the wind of the wind blows, the cold sweat on his back has a penetrating coolness, which makes Yan Liqiang involuntarily feel excited.

Although he couldn't see anything unusual from the distance of tens of meters just now, in fact, he was so nervous in his heart, because he could feel how unkind and fierce the gaze peeping at him was, and he didn't know if the person hiding in the shadows would suddenly jump out and give him a fatal blow, or shoot a cold arrow from the cornfield or eucalyptus forest.

If it was before, Yan Liqiang would definitely not be able to find someone hiding in the dark to peep at him, and he could feel the deep malice in that gaze, but after cultivating the Yijin Pulp Sutra, the feeling of being like a man's back just now was unusually clear, and being stared at by that gaze, Yan Liqiang's nerves all over his body were tensed, and his body consciousness instinctively warned Yan Liqiang, and Yan Liqiang himself didn't know how he came calmly.

From childhood to adulthood, except for the Hong family, he almost didn't have any enemies at all, even if he used to have a little contradiction with some teenagers of the same age in the town, it was also a teenager's spirit, it was nothing, he may not be very likable, but he didn't have a deep grudge against anyone, at most it was just a little popularity, so in addition to the Hong family, it is impossible for anyone else to chase him from Qinghe County to Huanglong County.

And the person who was hiding outside just now was not from the Hong family, because the people of the Hong family themselves knew that no one in the entire Hong family could have such a strong momentum and give themselves such a dangerous feeling, so the person who was hiding outside just now was the thug hired by the Hong family...... Even killers......

There are many ways for people to die, and for many killers, they have many ways, they can kill you without letting people see that you were killed, an ordinary teenager like himself, many times, when he dies, he dies, and without hard evidence, the official will not pay attention to this kind of thing.

I didn't come to Liuhe Town unknowingly, I got on the boat at the dock in Qinghe County, and many people saw it at the dock in Huanglong County, if the Hong family had the heart to find it, it would not be difficult.

What Yan Liqiang didn't expect was that he had just left Liuhe Town for half a month, and the people who worked hard for the Hong family chased after him.

This existential crisis weighed Yan Liqiang almost out of breath, he squeezed his fist tightly, felt the power of his fist, and touched the bag of saltpeter that had been in his arms, his heart settled down a little, and after taking a deep breath, he walked towards Qian Su's yard.

......

As Yan Liqiang guessed, Qian Su was really waiting for him in his courtyard, and his face was displeased.

As soon as he saw Yan Liqiang walking in, Qian Su rushed over, first looked at Yan Liqiang from head to toe with strange eyes, and then asked directly and unceremoniously, "The Lu family sent someone to say that you were a guest at the Lu family, when did your father get involved with the Lu family, why didn't you tell me, since you are going to the Lu family today, why didn't you tell me when you left the craftsman camp?"

Yan Liqiang knew that the Lu family would not explain the matter in too much detail, so that Qian Su misunderstood, and then he told him about the Lu family he met today, except for the details that he went to buy saltpeter, he did not hide anything else.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Yan Liqiang finish speaking, the displeased look on Qian Su's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a confused look. Especially after hearing that Yan Liqiang actually drowned the Lu family for six or seven hours, and revived the child who was helpless for several doctors, Qian Su's face was wonderful, and all kinds of expressions came, which was comparable to the face-changing skills of Sichuan opera.

"You didn't lie to me?"

Yan Liqiang directly opened the box in his hand in front of Qian Su, and asked Qian Su to look at the gold bars inside, "This is given to me by the old man of the Lu family, and just now a steward of the Lu family personally sent me in the old man's car with the old man Lu, Uncle Qian, do you think I am lying to you?"

Staring at the real money, Qian Su had nothing to say, he was choked, after an interval of more than ten seconds, the expression on Qian Su's face changed, and then he looked at Yan Liqiang with a toothache and an expression of seeing the monkey pop out of the stone, "Does moxibustion navel really work?"

Yan Liqiang spread his hands helplessly, "I didn't know the bottom before I went, after all, saving people, I'm afraid it's a fairy shot, and there is no guarantee that it can be saved every time, but fortunately, this time it was a success, and I finally saved a life!"

"Is this really what someone told you in your dreams when you were dreaming?"

"Uncle Qian, I have almost never left Qinghe County when I am so old, this method has never appeared before, except for dreaming, can I still pat my head and come up with it......" Yan Liqiang looked at Qian Su with an innocent face, the memories and experiences of his previous life, for him, are really like dreams, he said that these experiences and knowledge are obtained from dreams, and it is estimated that even if he gets on the most advanced polygraph, there will be no problem.

"It's strange, it's strange...... Qian Su circled around Yan Liqiang twice, and could only accept Yan Liqiang's explanation, "Then the Lu family gave you a thousand taels of gold, why do you only need half of it?" The half you don't want, but five hundred taels of gold?"

"Could it be that Uncle Qian thinks that the favor that the Lu family owes me is not worth 500 taels of gold?" Yan Liqiang asked rhetorically.

"I really don't know how Yan Dechang can give birth to such a son as you!" Qian Su sighed, and finally stopped talking, "If you don't worry about me, just put this gold here with me, and I'll keep it for you!"

Yan Liqiang laughed, "What's not to worry about, even if Uncle Qian doesn't say it, I just want to hand over this gold to you for safekeeping, my yard is not very convenient, if Uncle Qian needs it, even if you take it and spend it, it will be regarded as my filial piety to Uncle Qian!"

Qian Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, covered the box, groaned a little, and said to Yan Liqiang, "You made this kind of thing in the Lu family today, it is estimated that it will not take two days for the entire Huanglong County to know your name, if you want to make less trouble, you had better stay in the camp these days, don't go out at will! By the way, I will have someone send you two pots of arrows, if you are okay these days, you can practice archery in the craftsman camp, this archery practice is good, it is amazing......"

"I listen to Uncle Qian, I won't go out these days!" Yan Liqiang said obediently.

"Well, you're tossing enough today, go back and rest early!"

"Uncle Qian, you should rest early!"

......

After explaining to Qian Su and leaving the box of gold with Qian Su, Yan Liqiang returned to his yard empty-handed.

The target of that horned python bow is too big, even if the horned python bow is valuable, no one can take it away in his yard, but these gold are different, just take it away with a casual stroke, the experience of the previous life told Yan Liqiang, don't test human nature, don't force everyone to be Lei Feng, he remembered that a data he saw in his previous life was that it was said that more than 20% of homicides occurred between acquaintances and friends.

Human nature is often not able to stand the test, human nature has a good side, is nature, human nature has an evil side, is the nature, human nature and the side of drifting, is the habit, most people's human nature is mixed together, these words and words made by the Chinese ancestors, have already explained human nature thoroughly, and Qian Su manages the artisan battalion, and the money and property accounts in the camp have to go through his hands, and in his house, there is a secret cabinet, that is, the safe contains these things, and his own money is safest to put there.

......

There was a little more thing in the courtyard and when Yan Liqiang left, it was two pots of arrows, which were placed on a pile of ash poles under the eaves of the courtyard, and Yan Liqiang saw it as soon as he came back.

There were thirty-six arrows in each pot, Yan Liqiang looked at it, and then took the two pots of arrows upstairs and put them in his bedroom, next to the horned python bow.

Then, Yan Liqiang took out the bag of saltpeter he bought today from his arms and put it in the room next to him.

In a nearby room, these days, in the name of studying physical properties, Yan Liqiang got a lot of things, tools and raw materials from various courtyards, including iron ore, all kinds of wood paint, copper blocks, horsetails, cow tendons, silk ties, cotton paper, lime and other things, of course, there are also sulfur and charcoal in these things, which are the raw materials in the craftsman's camp.

In addition to these things, there are tools, mortars, carving knives, rod scales, files, and much more.

These things were all brought by Yan Liqiang from various yards as playthings, and everyone didn't take it seriously, thinking that Yan Liqiang's youthful temperament was just to play with when he was bored, and he didn't care.

Open the window of that room, the moonlight shines in, and the room is bright, and the visibility is enough for people to do a lot in the house.

Thinking of the crisis he had just encountered at the gate of the craftsman camp, Yan Liqiang took a deep breath, and after entering the room, he began to prepare gunpowder.

He had already prepared charcoal powder and sulfur powder these days, and the only thing he lacked now was saltpeter.

Put the saltpeter you bought into a stone mortar, grind it into powder, pour it out, pack it, and start weighing.

The ingredients of black powder are one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, the specific ratio is 2 to 15 to 3 and then mixed, as long as there are raw materials, making gunpowder is not more difficult than mixing a plate of cold dishes.

It didn't take much effort, Yan Liqiang made half a catty of black powder, and then used tissue paper to roll these black powders into ropes.

This courtyard is not allowed to ignite, so Yan Liqiang did not try it in the yard, and it is dark now, if these black powders are really successful, then the movement will be even greater, so it is best to go to the mountains tomorrow to try.

After making the black powder, Yan Liqiang suppressed his excitement, and after cultivating the Yijin Cleansing Sutra, he went to sleep......

We'll talk about that tomorrow......
