Chapter 11 Master carpenter

Looking at Lu Jingzhi, who was like a river, the charcoal maker's family was stupid. It's not that they don't understand or can't do it, but they think that the method of burning the wheels thrown by this white and tender tax collector is too unbelievable. How did he come up with it? But this problem did not prevent everyone from doing things, and the honest charcoal craftsman took his family to dismantle the two ice fruit wood wheels on the cart and went to process them.

Lu Jingzhi took a breath and hurriedly asked the village chief to find a carpenter. However, there was not a single carpenter in the border village, but there was one before, but then when the tax was collected, he could not pay the tax, and he was forcibly dragged away and turned into a zombie. In the village more than ten miles away from here, there is a carpenter's family.

"Hurry up and invite it!" Lu Jingzhi commanded, "You don't need the whole family to come, just the master carpenter." Don't kick people's butts, be polite. But be quick, let the fool take my slide rod and bring me the master carpenter. ”

At present, there is no faster walking in this village than the undead infantry, and one of the two undead infantry brought to protect Lu Jingzhi is still the deputy captain of the infantry team, and the other is taking the foolish Dasha Er to the neighboring village to pick up the carpenter.

Lu Jingzhi looked at the rotten axle and other parts again, shook his head once, and asked the young village chief: "Except for the people in your village, who can hold an axe?"

The village chief thought to himself, if I can hold an axe, I will do it. But knowing that there must be a reason for what the tax collector asked, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and replied: "My lord, there are only some women and children left in the village now, and although there are many who can hold axes, they can't do carpentry work." And ......," he hesitated for a moment, and then added, "It's too slow to let them cut down trees." ”

"Can you chop firewood?" Lu Jingzhi asked as he tapped the pine board with his hand.

"It's still okay if you chop firewood, but you just split this big car......" The young village chief raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Jingzhi, and said boldly: "The little one thinks it's a pity." ”

Lu Jingzhi said with a smile: "It's a pity, it's not a pity, I just think that there are too few pine planks to make a few cars." ”

When the young village chief heard this, the monk of the second zhang was even more puzzled, this is obviously a big car, it would be good if it could be repaired, why should you talk about making a few planes?

Lu Jingzhi saw that the young village chief was at a loss, and he didn't explain, he circled the cart twice with his hands behind his back, looked at it a few times, and had a plan in his heart. So he asked for charcoal strips, drew them on the pine boards of the cart, drew a few black lines, and said, "You have people come, along this line, and break the board for me, I will be useful." ”

Although the young village chief felt that it was a pity that the car was destroyed, he didn't dare not listen to it, so he went as he said. In a short time, a dozen women and half-grown children were brought in, and some notched hatchet knives and axes were brought in, and they crackled and began to work. Lu Jingzhi was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Give me all the details, cut it well, don't deviate from the line, otherwise the young master will ask you." ”

These people were startled, and when they saw that the tax collector looked anxious, they didn't look like they were angry, so they hurriedly let go and continued to work. Lu Jingzhiwu was not at ease, and stood aside to watch them work.

After a busy afternoon, when it was getting dark, the board of the big car was disassembled according to Lu Jingzhi's request. Although it was generally good, there were also one or two pieces of wood that were a little skewed because of the cracking lines when split longitudinally, and the material that was split was far from what he had requested.

If only there were saws. Lu Jingzhi looked at the two crooked pieces of wood and thought regretfully. But it's nice to be able to do this with what you have at hand.

"Go and prepare the cauldron, the bigger the better. If you don't have one, use a stone trough, and if you don't have one, dig a big pit, release water, and get some quicklime. Lu Jing commanded, and the young village chief hurriedly agreed. He really didn't have a big pot, and the iron tools here were uncommon, so much so that even the common tools such as the hatchet were notched and curled. However, because the sulfur will be calcined to filter out an acidic solution, there are still large stone troughs. And under the big stone trough you can put firewood to burn the fire.

Lu Jingzhi saw the big stone trough, and he was also very satisfied, it was so long and so big, it was okay to throw the whole cart into it and cook it, let alone cook the wood that the villagers had just split.

"Throw the long and wide ones into the wooden trough and boil them, pay attention to the heat, the water can't be boiled, it can't be cold, just burn your hands to the temperature of the soaked water. Lu Jingzhi is not worried that the villagers will try it with their hands, they have some ways to know the temperature of the water, such as looking at the water vapor on the water surface and listening to the sound of the water.

The villagers seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of tossing, and threw the freshly chopped pine wood into the water to boil, without asking what it was used for. It's probably because I couldn't pay taxes before, so it's even worse than this. At this time, there was the sound of heavy footsteps from the entrance of the village, and the voice of a strange man kept begging for mercy, it should be the carpenter who came.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jingzhi turned his head, he saw that the undead infantry sent out impatiently led the stupid Dasha Er to carry a desperately struggling middle-aged man over. The reason why he struggled desperately and didn't fall off was because the middle-aged man was firmly tied to the sliding pole. Lu Jingyi slapped his head, and secretly scolded this group of dead killers who had been stabbed by thousands of knives in his heart, asking them not to kick people's buttocks, and to carry them over, they would tie people up and carry them over.

Lu Jingzhi hurriedly ran over, the undead infantry respectfully gave a military salute, Lu Jingzhi glanced at the solid body of the undead infantry, did not dare to start, had to roll his eyes and casually replied with a half-salute, ran to the stupid two and kicked each of them in the ass, and scolded: "Did you two grow up eating shit? The young master asked you to carry the master here, why did you tie up the master?" turned back to the undead infantry and said, "Come and loosen the carpenter master!" Originally, he wanted to give this infantry a kick as well, but looking at his body, he finally gave up on this idea. Moreover, due to the militarized management of the castle, when he was saluted by the infantry of the same rank, he had to return the half-salute, so he had to use the tone of command to regain a little face for himself.

But after saying this for a long time, the undead infantry stared at him and didn't move. Lu Jingzhi was just about to get angry, but suddenly remembered that he was talking in a hurry, and he didn't translate it into nonsense, so he naturally couldn't understand it. Busy speaking again in the language of the ghost clan, the undead infantry listened, and then understood what the captain meant, hurriedly ran over, raised his claws, and the rope on the man's body broke in response to the claws.

"Your Excellency. As soon as the middle-aged man was untied, he immediately turned over and jumped off the pole, knelt on the ground and prayed, "My lord, please spare the life of the little one." ”

Lu Jingzhi is most annoying about this, but human beings have long been accustomed to groveling in the territory of the ghost clan, and asking them not to do this will only bring greater panic.

"What do I want your life to do? Get up for the young master, the young master has a big thing to do when he comes to you. Lu Jingzhi said lightly.

When the middle-aged man heard that he had a big thing to do, he was immediately relieved, and thought: "Although the adult in front of me doesn't know what level it is, but the one who can call the ghost pawn is probably either a knight or a high-level knight, or a son of the lord of the ghost clan." Thinking that he could do "big things" with such a big man, his bones couldn't help but lighten a few taels, and said: "My lord, the little one is a carpenter, as soon as these two big brothers enter our village, they will ask the village chief for a carpenter, and they will tie me up...... Hey, no, you brought me here, what do you want me to do?" he relaxed, forgetting the humility he should have in front of the ghost clan, and arrogantly called himself "me".

Although Lu Jingzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with him calling himself "me", he was annoyed by the stupid man who was resting with the sliding rod on the side. Even if the village chief has to call himself a "little one" to his master, he has to call himself a subordinate official when he sees his master; this blind guy dares to call himself "me" in front of his master, which is really unbearable! Immediately, he shouted stupidly and angrily, grabbed the middle-aged man's collar, and shouted: "'I'!" The young village chief saw him on the side, and quickly reminded: "Master carpenter, be careful when you speak, don't break the rules." ”

The carpenter was reminded by the village chief, and also realized that what he said was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to lie down again, but he was stupidly carrying his collar, he couldn't lie down if he wanted to, but he was so anxious that beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks to his chin, and fell to the ground with a clatter, and those who didn't know thought he was scared to cry.

"Alright, let him go. Lu Jingzhi waved his hand and said, "Young Master, I have more important things for him to do, which scared him to death, you will work for me?"

When he heard this, he also remembered that the carpenter had been caught by his master from a neighboring village, and that it should be of some use, so he grinned and threw the carpenter on the ground. Although he followed Lu Jingzhi as a foot force, he was not a messenger in Lu Jing's house, so he couldn't be called

The carpenter got up and said, "My lord, I can do any carpentry work, and I will do whatever you tell me to do." I just want you to spare my life and serve you. ”

Lu Jingzhi said impatiently: "Needless to say, as long as the young master asks you to do something, you will do it, then it won't be wrong." Now the young master asks, you answer, and one more nonsense, what consequences can you think of yourself. "Actually, what consequences can Lu Jingzhi do with him? But the carpenter didn't know this, so he just responded.

"Have you brought all the tools for carpentry?" "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, so Lu Jingzhi's first question is not craftsmanship, but tools.

"Bring it, it's all there. The carpenter was just about to talk at length about how many things he had brought, when he suddenly remembered that the adult in front of him did not let him talk nonsense, so he swallowed his words back.

"Can your tools process ice fruit wood?" Lu Jingzhi continued to ask the second question.

"Yes, my lord, my tools ......" the carpenter habitually tried to brag about how sharp and hard the tools were, but suddenly stopped and continued to swallow the words back.

"Young master, there are a few short pine planks here, and some teak pieces, you can make teak into axles, just follow the work drawn by the young master, and make the pine planks for me, if you can clamp them, you can reach them, young master, I want to make wooden wheels, do you understand?" Lu Jingzhi pointed to the leftover planks and the small pieces of teak that were removed.

The carpenter's face was relieved, and he thought to himself that this would be easy to do.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
