Qin Hai, who was already larger than an ordinary adult, stuffed the shell into Qin Chuan's little hand, and then petted his head dotingly, "At Dad's, I kept it for you, but can you really eat that thing?"

"It was the Taoist who passed by our door!"

Qin Chuan's excuse, if it must be absurd on the earth, I'm afraid even a fool won't believe it, but in this world, rumors of being accepted as disciples by immortal masters are not uncommon, and many people have seen immortal cultivators who fly away from the sky with their own eyes, so the brothers nodded in disbelief, and the points mentioned by the immortal master are naturally good things!

The thing that Qin Chuan wanted them to bring back was sea cucumber, no one in this world has recognized the value of this thing, although the Qin family's family background is not bad, but it is impossible to afford something like ginseng to replenish his body, so he started the idea of sea cucumber, as long as the body is conditioned, those cultivation methods in memory can be implemented.

Qin Biao didn't disappoint his youngest son, and brought half a basket of sea cucumbers, "San'er, did the old fairy say how to eat this thing, go back and let your mother make it for you!"

"Dad, sea cucumbers can be used to make soup or medicinal food, I'll go to the kitchen with my mother in a while!" Qin Chuan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he attributed everything to the old immortal who could not be verified, anyway, the family did not doubt it.

In the evening, the family got together happily, and the parents discussed the matter of their youngest son's schooling, and the next day Qin Biao went to find the famous cultural person Wu Laofuzi in Qinjiawan with a gift.

Old Master Wu was a master for the county master in his early years, and later got tired of officialdom, so he recommended his son-in-law to the county honor, and then became a teacher at the invitation of Qin Jiawan, Qin Biao himself also knew how to read with him, and he had great respect for this old gentleman.

Mr. Wu was a little unhappy at first, but because of the Qin family's face, he reluctantly accepted Qin Chuan's disciple, and it didn't take a few days to find out that the Qin San nerd who was rumored in the village was simply a prodigy, everything was thorough, and he could even draw inferences, if it weren't for the fact that the little guy was really illiterate, he even suspected that this kid had been in the school for a few years.

After discovering the talent, Mr. Wu, who had originally planned to deal with the matter, immediately regarded Qin Chuan as the heir to the mantle and began to carefully teach this closed disciple.

Qin Chuan also secretly compared the civilization of this world with the earth, this world also has the words of the sage, and there are also subtle words, but it has little to do with the Confucian sage, and the text is also hieroglyphic, a bit similar to the ancient Chinese seal characters, but there is still a big difference with the ancient seal script.

Xu Guozhong, out of the needs of cultivation, has dabbled in large and small seals, and even oracle bone inscriptions, thanks to these memories, it is not very difficult for Qin Chuan to learn those characters with cumbersome strokes.

While learning the culture of this world, while taking time to exercise, from the beginning of Tai Chi, Wufowl Opera, to Taizu Changquan, Baguazhang, these things will naturally not be practiced in front of others, in case they make a fuss!

Time flies, and it has been more than a year in a flash, due to the nutrition and hard work, Qin Chuan's small body is getting stronger and stronger, but because of the height of his body, the whole person still looks thin and weak from the outside, which does not arouse everyone's suspicion.

Qin Biao found that his youngest son had not been sick for more than a year, and the eldest and second child in the family were also inexhaustible in energy, so he became more and more convinced of the old fairy's guidance, as long as he went to sea, he would inevitably bring back sea cucumbers and other seafood with high nutritional value to nourish his family.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan came back from the school and found that his mother and second brother were in the courtyard, and the atmosphere at home was a little wrong.

"Xiaochuan, your father is talking to your uncle about something, and he will enter the house later. ”

"Mother, is something wrong?"

"Well, I heard your uncle say that Wanghai City was broken by bandits!"

Qin Chuan was stunned, it is common for bandits to attack and disturb the township, since he can remember, Qinjiawan has also been patronized by bandits many times, but he has never heard of bandits daring to touch the city garrisoned by officials and soldiers, it seems that these bandits are not small, this place is only more than 100 miles away from Wanghai City, and it is a famous land of fish and rice nearby, if the bandits return to the way to ransack, with the strength of less than 200 Xiangyong in Qinjiawan, it will definitely be impossible to resist, thinking of this, he understands the seriousness of the problem.

The adults in the house discussed until dark before leaving, Qin Biao kept frowning during dinner, Qin Chuan whispered to Qin Hai, who was tall and tall, and asked, "Big brother, how did you discuss, can you tell me?"

Qin Hai knew that although his little brother was young, he had a very correct idea since he opened his mind, "Uncle means that if the bandits cross the border, let the people avoid the edge for the time being, after all, the thousand officers and troops of Wanghai City have not been able to hold the city!"

"There are more than 2,000 old and young women and children in the entire Qinjiawan, if people chase them, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"

"Yes, first of all, it's not certain that the pirates will pass by here, and secondly, if they stay where they are, with the advantage of the location, they can still fight, and if they withdraw and are chased by the pirates, then the situation will be even worse. ”

Qin Chuan held up his head, which was one size bigger than ordinary children, and muttered in his mouth: "Then there can only be one red heart, prepare with both hands!"

Qin Biao, who had been listening to the conversation between the two brothers, came to his senses, "Xiaochuan, what is the preparation of both hands?"

"Naturally, do you want to defend or withdraw?"

"Nonsense!" Qin Biao glared at his youngest son.

Qin Chuan suddenly smiled slyly, "Dad, you said that the pirates are going to withdraw to the island, should they swim back, or take a boat back?"

"Smack!"

"Dad, why are you beating me?"

"Stinky boy, the old nest of that group of pirates is on Shark Island, almost two thousand miles from the mainland, can they swim back..."Qin Biao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, you mean?"

"Dad, you are so smart, judge the direction of the other party through the boat of the pirates, if those ships are close to the fishing port of Qinjiawan, then we can withdraw in the opposite direction now, if the other party's boat is still parked in place, at most it will only divide a small group of pirates to attack, and it will not stop longer, after all, Wanghai City is broken, and the officials and soldiers will not give up. ”

Qin Biao pondered for a while, then looked up at this little son whose face looked like his own, no matter how shrewd he looked, could it be that a fever could really make Qin San's nerd become Qin San's demon?

The mother encouragedly put a fat shrimp into her youngest son's bowl, with an indescribable pride in her expression, Qin Hai and Qin Yang glanced at each other, and then sighed and took care of their own rice, Qin Biao didn't eat the rice, said to his wife, and went out directly.

After eating, the two elder brothers helped their mother pack up valuable things and prepare to evacuate at any time, Qin Chuan took out a thick booklet from under the bed, this booklet was written by himself, he was convinced that a good brain is better than a bad pen, so he recorded all the things he thought were important, which was a habit he developed when he was a secretary in his previous life.

Soon, I turned to one of the pages, and the title was the word gunpowder, although Qin Chuan did secretarial work in the previous life, he studied chemical engineering when he went to college, so making gunpowder was just pediatrics.

For him in this life, having the love of his parents, the maintenance of his brother, and the worry-free food and clothing are happiness, and he doesn't want to lose all this, so if someone dares to seize all this, he doesn't mind letting gunpowder, a big killing weapon, appear in this world in advance.

The next day, judging from the mixed news heard, those bandits ransacked Wanghai City, in order to avoid the round-up of the official army began to break into pieces, the good news is that Qinjiawan will not encounter large-scale bandits, and the worry is that a group of about 200 pirates looted all the way, and the target is Qinjiawan.

Lord Li Zheng of Qinjiawan, that is, Qin Long, the uncle of Qin Chuan, learned the exact news, and immediately ordered most of the old and weak women and children to move into the earthen fort, and divided the troops to send generals, set up barricades and archers at several intersections, and at the same time let the fishing boats leave the fishing port to prevent the sea bandits from seizing the boats.

The earth fort is built on the small hill, the soil and stone behind the hill are emptied, forming a cliff five or six zhang high, and the two sides dig out a trench that is two zhang deep and three zhang wide, if the number of bandits is not much, then you can only choose to attack from the front, and the earth fort itself is two zhang high, there is only one iron-clad gate for people to enter and exit, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is also the villagers have summed up the long-term struggle with the bandits, in fact, this kind of earth fort is not only Qinjiawan, many large-scale towns also have this kind of earth fort.

Qin Chuan also entered the earthen fort, the yard the size of a football field was surrounded by an earthen wall two feet high and five feet thick, and there were more than a dozen houses behind it, storing some food and weapons and other materials.

Touching the wall skin, the clods of soil automatically fell off, this kind of wall is exposed to the rain and sun all the time, it is estimated that there is not much defense, Qin Chuan thought about it again and again, but he still didn't dare to take the risk, and decided to get the secret weapon out.
