The house is in hand and there is still a lot of work to be done.

In Zhao Lin's view, the house is far from safe, and needs to be further strengthened, sealing the doors and windows and chimneys to prevent bandits from entering the room or spraying poisonous smoke into the house.

It is also necessary to set up traps in hidden places and dig a few escape tunnels.

In short, the house had to be built into a bunker.

With this purpose in mind, Zhao Lin and Liang Song went to the craftsman's workshop in the south of the city and invited a few masons, stonemasons, and blacksmiths.

"Replace the main house gate with an iron gate, and reinforce the exterior walls and roof with rammed earth, the stronger the better, and the wages are not a problem."

The leader of the craftsmen was a blacksmith, and after listening to Zhao Lin's request, he said: "I repaired the city wall when I was young, and if the owner wants to make the house strong, it is best to use lime mortar, mix glutinous rice soup in it, and wrap a layer of burning bricks on the outer wall. ”

"A house built like this can't fall for a hundred years in the wind and rain."

Glutinous rice lime slurry?

Zhao Lin remembered that the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was built with this material, and its strength was comparable to concrete, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

The blacksmith rubbed his big dark hands, and said with some twists: "To build a house like this, the artificial materials are not decimals......

Zhao Lin didn't wait for him to finish, and asked Liang Song to take two taels of silver to him, "You can take this money to start work first, and then report the details to me." ”

Seeing that the owner was so generous, the blacksmith grinned and said, "I want it, I want it." After speaking, he instructed the craftsmen to measure the size and purchase materials.

It was past noon, and Zhao Lin and Liang Song were still hungry, so they explained a few words and found a restaurant nearby to have a full meal.

During the meal, Liang Song looked lonely, his brows were tightly locked, and Zhao Lin said with concern: "What, are you worried that your beard will come to trouble tonight?" ”

Liang Song shook his head and said, "The bodies of my cousin and Zhou Paotou are still hanging at the head of the village, and they will not be able to live in peace after death." ”

"Yes......" Zhao Lin realized that this was a big problem.

In this era, it is important to put the dead in peace and let the dead rest in peace.

If the corpse cannot reach the heavens or the earth, the soul cannot ascend to heaven and cannot be reincarnated.

I got acquainted with Zhou Paotou and Zhu Dachun, and I couldn't let them expose the corpses to the wilderness like this.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin said to Liang Song: "Let's snatch the corpse out tonight and bury the two of them." ”

Liang Song was first overjoyed, and then worried: "It's not proper, the beard is guarding outside the city, won't we go out of the city and throw ourselves into the net?" ”

Zhao Lin leaned over and whispered, "Tell you the bottom, I am running faster than a horse now." If I take you with you, they won't be able to catch up. ”

Liang Song remembered Zhao Lin's performance when he chased and beat the splash before, his brows loosened, and he said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

After eating, the two returned to the house on Shuncheng Street, and the craftsmen were already working.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that the craftsmen called it a day and went home, and Liang Song and Zhao Lin rushed out of the south gate before the city gate closed.

The two of them were less than two miles out of the city when they heard a sharp whistle behind them, and someone shouted: "They are out, don't let them run!" ”

Zhao Lin and Liang Song turned around and saw three men following behind them, one of them had a bamboo whistle in his mouth, and immediately turned around and pounced.

The three men didn't expect that not only did they not panic, but they also killed a horse pistol, and they turned around and ran back in fright.

It's a pity that they couldn't run past Zhao Lin, and they were caught up in a few breaths.

At this time, the sky was dark, there were no pedestrians on the road, Zhao Lin no longer left his hand, took out an axe and slashed the whistle to death.

The other two were so frightened that they fled on both sides of the road.

Zhao Lin and Liang Song chased one by one, and in a moment's effort, they were killed.

After killing three eyeliner, Zhao Lin and Liang Song did not forget to search their bodies and took away the silver coins on the corpses.

At this moment, there was a fire in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves, and more than twenty fast horses galloped, and the men on the horses held torches, like a cloud of fire.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, this kid runs fast!"

The person who shouted at the head was the bearded leader who chased Zhao Lin that day, and he knew that Zhao Lin was running fast, so he immediately asked his subordinates to release arrows.

Liang Song looked at Zhao Lin nervously, seeing so many beards catching up, he didn't know if he could fulfill his promise.

Zhao Lin didn't say a word, picked up Liang Song's belt with one hand, turned around and ran eastward.

The bearded men set up their bows and set off their arrows, and immediately their arrows were like flying locusts.

Zhao Lin jumped and jumped up two meters in place.

Liang Song only felt a burst of clouds and fog, the wind under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw that the arrows had failed.

Zhao Lin disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs, leaving a group of bearded people with big eyes and small eyes.

"Damn, ran away again!"

The bearded leader smacked hard, and his eyes swept over his subordinates, "You all saw it, it's not that Lao Tzu is not chasing hard, it's that kid running faster than a rabbit." ”

"Big brother, we can testify."

"Yes, I think I see wings on his back......"

The beards immediately took a stand.

"Brother Zhao, how do you practice this leg skill? It's like flying! ”

As soon as Liang Song's feet touched the ground, he couldn't help but cheer up.

"It's not practiced, it's born."

Zhao Lin didn't know how to explain, so he could only prevaricate with this reason.

Liang Song believed it, "It's because I think it's wrong, the capital sects of our martial arts hall don't have such skills." ”

At this time, it was already completely dark, and the two of them did not have to worry about revealing their traces, so they made a slight detour and walked to Baiqiao Village.

"There!"

Liang Song stretched out his hand and pointed, and Zhao Lin followed the direction of his finger and saw two corpses hanging under a locust tree.

Beard never dreamed that they would return, so he only arranged for two little minions to guard the corpses in the gatehouse at the head of the village, so that the villagers would not be buried.

Zhao Lin and Liang Song sneaked up and quietly got rid of the two snoring beards.

The bodies of Zhou Paotou and Zhu Dachun were scarred, and it could be seen that they had been subjected to inhuman torture before their deaths.

Zhao Lin sighed, feeling that there was no taste in his heart, and Liang Song burst into tears.

The corpse had been hanging for two days and one night, and it had been slightly decomposed, so they ripped off the clothes on the minions and put them on Zhu Dachun and Zhou Paotou.

In retaliation, the bodies of the two minions were hung from a tree, and one of them carried one into the mountain.

Neither of them knew feng shui, so they only found a quiet and hidden place, dug a pit and buried the two of them.

Because of the fear of being found and destroyed by the beard, only two graves were piled up, and no monuments were erected.

"Zhou Paotou, I wish the elder brother, the two of you go all the way, and you will be brothers in the next life......"

Zhao Lin and Liang Song bowed to the grave three times, and left after standing silently for a long time.

It was getting late, and the county seat couldn't go back, so the two discussed it and came to Zhou Paotou's residence.

There was a cellar in the backyard of Zhou Paotou's house, which was used to store food for the winter, and the bandits would never have imagined that the two would hide here, but it was the safest place.

The two went into the cellar, spent the night together, and secretly returned to the county seat before dawn the next day.
