Chapter 5: When Gunpowder is in Progress

With a bulging belly, he walked tremblingly.

Fortunately, sulfur is not like steel, although it is loaded, it is also within the range of bearing.

Li Hao followed the network built by the wire silkworm liquid that he built when he came to solidify the network built over the Nanjia cottage, and climbed carefully.

Rumble!

The wooden door of a house was kicked open, and the smoke and dust scattered.

"Three masters, the little ones are here!"

As soon as the movement sounded, dozens of patrolmen all arrived, kneeling on the ground and waiting for orders.

呲呲呲~~~

The sound of Jin Ge sounded in the darkness of the room, and gradually the sound gradually became clear.

A strong man with a nine-foot height and a leopard-eyed ring head dragged a nine-ring long knife out of the house step by step, and his fierce eyes scanned all directions.

Everywhere the line of sight passed, whether it was already gathered here, or whether it was heard one after another, they couldn't help but bow their heads.

This second-in-command is notoriously fierce, and when he heard that he had not settled here more than 20 years ago, he took pleasure in killing people all day long.

Even though they are a little restrained now, the evil aura still makes them shudder.

Ding Ding Ding ~~

呲呲呲~~

The sound of the iron ring on the nine-ring long knife and the sound of the blade dragging on the bluestone floor echo each other.

The second master dragged the long knife and paced back and forth for some reason.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked slowly with a jade track on his waist, a plum blossom on his head, a white face and no beard, and a scholar dressed as a scholar.

Passing by, the people in the village gave way one after another, and whispered a sentence of "big boss",

"Big brother, why are you here?" Seeing the comer, the fierce aura emanating from the strong man's body was swept away at this moment.

The strong man was no longer angry, but scratched the back of his head a little honestly, "Big brother, I sleep in bed, and I always feel stuffy in my chest, as if there is a big stone pressing me, and I feel uncomfortable and want to go out for a walk." ”

Hearing this, everyone around was embarrassed.

The middle-aged scholar frowned slightly.

His second brother is in the blood coagulation realm, and if he can make him whims, there must be something abnormal around him.

I think of the plans for the near future.

The middle-aged scholar raised his hand and waved, "Thoroughly investigate the cottage." ”

"Yes!"

The cottage people responded in unison.

Then, bright torches were raised, and countless people in the cottage were like ants in the night, all over the mountain.

The middle-aged scholar talked to the strong man for a while, then turned to leave.

Located directly above, connecting dozens of sentry towers in the cottage, forming a top that is several meters high like a spider's web, Li Hao, who is dressed in tight black, silently looks at everything below.

After nothing was moving, he cautiously left quietly and returned to his residence with a lot of moist sulfur on his chest and abdomen.

Because the return route is a cliff, it is not detected by the eyeliner patrolling the mountains.

Running all the way and closing the dilapidated wooden door, Li Hao panted and sweated like rain.

Pinching his hands full of yellow mud, he knew that he had succeeded for the most part.

Take out the wire silkworms hidden in the small pit in the corner of the wall, feed them with soil made from mulberry leaf juice, and collect the silkworm juice.

The index finger gently stroked the small but fat back of the wire silkworm.

All you need to do is dry the sulphur and make gunpowder!

The sun turns around and above the sky.

Time passed little by little, and Li Hao, who was a mulberry picker, picked mulberry during the day and mulberry at night.

Even if there is eyeliner surveillance, there is not the slightest flaw.

Approaching the time to repay the debt, the entire Shuinan Town is also lively.

Of course, not because of Li Hao.

It is because this year is the five-year "Silkworm Picking Festival" in Shuinan Town.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, Shuinan Town relies on wire silkworms.

Hence the birth of this celebratory festival.

This festival is also the main day of intrigue between the two families in Shuinan Town because of the transfer of power once every five years.

But these have nothing to do with the ordinary people, they just know that on this day, there is no need to work, it is very lively.

Li Hao wore a coarse cloth shirt with a hole in it, and followed Aunt Zhang's family to the town.

The town is full of gongs and drums, and the flow of people is very different from the sparse population outside the town.

Let Li Hao feel the fireworks in the world.

It's better if you don't have several eyeliners behind you.

As the time to repay the debt is getting closer and closer, Shui Xingtian also sent some people to prevent Li Hao from escaping.

After all, the transfer of power is actually the transfer of silkworms, and the two sides will exchange the industrial chain of wire silkworms in their hands, raise wire silkworms, build iron silk tools, and purchase mulberry leaves.

Almost except for the non-exchange of residences, all the positions of the wire silkworm will be replaced by the other party.

Therefore, this time was the most chaotic and weakest time for the two families to control Shuinan Town.

"One mountain does not allow two tigers to ....."

Looking at the Nanjia family with the plaque hanging in the town, countless people went in and out.

Some of them are brightly lit, and some of them clean up the dusty furniture.

Li Hao knew that in five years at most, the two sides would exchange rights at most twice, and there would definitely be a war.

After all, both sides of the core technology are thoroughly mastered, and no one wants to be divided into two in this profiteering industry.

Ten becomes five, and there may be no feeling, and a hundred becomes fifty.

What if 10 million becomes 5 million?

People's minds change, and when they have enough ability, everyone wants to get back the share that should belong to them.

"Brother Hao, my mother went to buy medicine, let me follow you...... I've heard they say there's a big show on the other side of the street! ”

In the crowd, Erhu squeezed his head and shouted loudly at Li Hao a few times, and then he was held up by the ass of a fat aunt, and he couldn't say a word.

Li Hao came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile when he saw this, and pulled the second tiger out.

"Bah, bah, bah!! It's so salty! ”

Sticking out his tongue, Erhu kept wiping his mouth with a look of disgust.

Li Hao didn't speak, his fingers hooked slightly, and then he pulled Erhu and squeezed the crowd towards the place where the show was playing.

After he left, several guys dressed like servants also squeezed into the crowd and followed.

Li Hao's face did not leak, and as he walked, his palms were tucked into his sleeves and constantly hooked.

Inside his coat, a gray silk thread followed his hook, and a long gray-black tube was pulled from his chest to his shoulder, and finally slid down his wrist.

It is covered by coarse cloth sleeves, and there are no obvious signs of concave protrusion in gray and black.

Feeling the coldness at his wrist, Li Hao touched Erhu's head, and his smile was slightly revealed.

The place where the acrobatics are played is surrounded by all kinds of people watching the excitement.

The two of them are one of them.

It's just that when Li Hao's eyes were fixed on the acrobat master, he didn't know what to think in his heart.

Time passed little by little, and the onlookers cheered one after another to the rhythm of the acrobat's superb tricks.

Seeing that the acrobatics were about to come into contact, Li Hao also pulled Erhu back and let the others squeeze forward.

After all, the two of them don't have any money to tip.

After watching the acrobatics, Li Hao took the two tigers to wander around the town aimlessly, during which he also saw the yamen of the Dayang Dynasty stationed here, but there were only two or three people in front of the yamen, and they seemed to be in poor spirits and did not have the slightest official temperament.

However, Shuinan Town is located in a remote area, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so nature is nothing.

"Silkworm harvesting is about to begin!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the street.

The people who heard this also converged in front of a mansion in the north one after another.

Silkworm harvesting festival, naturally to pick silkworms.

The festive atmosphere spread to several surrounding streets and alleys.

In front of the Shui Family Mansion, there were countless invited guests, and the gongs and drums were noisy after the sound of two suona.

Not far away, a huge platform has already been erected.

On top of the high platform stood a large vat, in which countless silkworms intertwined and wriggled continuously.

Around the countertop, there was a man in a brocade dress.

"Haha, noble son, it's really a talent."

In front of the Shui family's mansion, one of the capable men in loose balloon sleeves and bloomers, with a cloth rope tightly tied around his waist that did not fit in with the brocade clothes around him, laughed loudly.

"The martial arts hall master laughed, and the child was barely strong."

Standing next to the capable man was Shui Mu, the head of the Shui family, who was looking at the high platform with a smile on his face, his face full of relief.

"The first three realms of martial arts, blood training, blood coagulation, and blood boiling, the noble son can achieve blood training in the year of the weak crown, and the blood coagulation will be successful in the future." The capable man paused, and said with a smile: "Maybe even the Boiling Blood Realm can touch one or two, and my Wu Xiongxin is also old in comparison." ”

"Hey, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it's good to be able to achieve the Blood Condensation Realm like me."

"That's natural, after all, most of the martial artists of the Shui family are apprentices of my martial arts hall, and we can be regarded as honorable." Wu Xiongxin said with a smile.

Shui Mu chatted with him, looking at the high platform, he still couldn't hide the joy that the corners of his mouth were thickened.

Although his son has some minor habits, they are all difficult to hurt.

Who hasn't been young, thinking that when he was young, he didn't know how many civilian women he played, who could help him?

"Water travels in the sky."

After the crowd, Li Hao silently recited three words in his heart.

Shui Xingtian on the table seemed to feel something, looked at the back of the crowd, and noticed the handsome young man.

At the sound of gongs and drums, the two looked at each other from afar, and smiled at the same time.

Li Hao, who was smiling, didn't say much, raised his arm, and like a black hole, he pointed the muzzle of the iron musket that he had fabricated little by little for more than ten days at Shui Xingtian.

And make a gesture of yes, with the intersection of the V-shaped bottom between the two fingers, as the star.

Shui Xingtian, who was originally smiling playfully, stiffened the corners of his mouth at this moment.

For some reason, a great horror between life and death hung over my heart.
