When Wen Kai left, Pan Wenpin said to Zhang Muye, "Feel free to sit, if you want to drink water, there is a water room in the outer hall, and you can see it from the aisle." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Muye didn't sit down immediately, and arched his hand, "If Senior Brother Pan has any orders, just show them and let the kid run errands." ”

Pan Wenpin waved his hand, "No need, you can take care of yourself, as for the matter of making instruments, you will not be in a hurry for a while." After that, he picked up a metal object from the table and asked Zhang Muye, "Do you know what this is?"

Zhang Muye took it and took a closer look, this thing is composed of two iron rods that are about the same length, and the two iron rods are hinged together at one end, looking like a compass from a previous life, but it is a little simpler, Zhang Muye said tentatively, "This is a compass?"

Pan Wenping sighed, a little surprised, "It seems that you know this thing, but we call it a ruler, not a compass." Reading the word compass, he seemed to have tasted something, and whispered, "The ruler, the instrument of the circle, it seems that the compass seems to be more appropriate than the ruler." ”

Zhang Muye held the simple compass in his hand, didn't see where the pen was, and couldn't figure out how to use the compass. In my previous life, the compass I used in school was a pencil lead, but I didn't know what the compass was made of.

Pan Wenpin saw Zhang Muye fiddling with the compass in his hand with a puzzled expression, picked up another larger compass from the table, and said with a smile, "I'll show you how to use this thing, you need to deal with this compass often in the future." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of firewood the size of a fingernail from under the table, stuck it in the compass pen tip slot, and then dipped the piece of firewood in a little ink, and began to draw. Although the lines he drew were of different thicknesses, they were also regular.

In this way, without a pencil lead, it is also a method to dip ink with wood, but every time you draw a circle, you have to dip it in ink, if the circle is larger, you have to draw a circle and even dip it in ink several times, which is a lot of trouble in operation.

In fact, Zhang Muye was a little puzzled, since the compass could be made, why couldn't he think of using charcoal as a pen tip, which would be more convenient, so he said to Pan Wenpin, "Why don't you just use charcoal instead of wood chips, don't bother to dip in ink all the time." ”

Pan Wenpin didn't expect Zhang Muye's first reaction to be to give an opinion, he shook his head and smiled, "I have also tried charcoal, and it is indeed much easier than wood chips, but charcoal is easy to break and stains the paper." ”

Zhang Muye nodded, charcoal is indeed low in hardness, and it is not strong enough, and it has the disadvantage of being easy to break. It's a pity that you can't find graphite, otherwise you can mix graphite and clay to create pencil leads of different hardness, which solves the problem of pen heads.

Zhang Muye shook his head, his engineering student habits came out again, and he thought so much when he got a compass, he really didn't worry about eating radishes, he couldn't stay in this department for long, and it was useless to think about it so much.

Pan Wenpin saw him in a daze, and he didn't care, and took out another thing and said, "You must know this thing?"

Zhang Muye looked at what he was holding, and it turned out to be a wooden strip with a scale, and blurted out, "Wooden ruler." ”

Pan Wenping smiled, "You really recognize it, it seems that it makes sense for Wen Kai to send you to me." ”

In fact, Zhang Muye knew that he was holding a ruler, but he didn't recognize the scale on it, only to see that it was engraved with "one point", "one centimeter" and "one millimeter", Zhang Muye guessed whether it was the same as the scale in the previous life.

But now that I'm here, there is no comparison with the previous life, and I can't know whether the cent, centi, and millimeter here are the same as the centi, centi, and millimeter of the previous life. It's just that it doesn't look the same, and the conversion between them looks the same.

Seeing that Zhang Muye recognized the wooden ruler and compass, Pan Wenpin was very satisfied at this time, and said to Zhang Muye with a smile, "Since you know everything, be an assistant by my side these days." ”

Zhang Muye arched his hand and said, "I don't dare to ask for my ears." ”

......

Two days later, two men stood outside the county seat of Wuwei.

One of the slightly younger men, with a big beard, looked at the plaque on the city gate and said with a smile, "I ran all the way and came back here, and it was here that I was separated from Brother Zhao before." ”

Zhang Dali looked at Cui Dahai with a dusty face, and didn't correct his slip of the tongue, and said with a smile, "Thank you Brother Cui for your help, I've been fortunate to you all the way." ”

Cui Dahai said with a face, "The third uncle is polite, Brother Zhao and I are also familiar at first sight, this little help is not enough to worry about." ”

Zhang Dali nodded, took him into the city together, and found the location of the Instrument Sect without much effort.

At the door, it was still the guard from when Zhang Muye came that day, Zhang Dali stepped forward and arched his hand, "This little brother, I want to find Xiang Yuxiang Shaoxia of your sect." ”

Although the guard was only in the realm of foreign strength, and he couldn't see the realm of Zhang Dali and Cui Dahai, he could also feel the momentum of the two of them, and he didn't dare to slack off, and replied with a smile, "It's not a coincidence, Senior Brother Xiang received a mission from the sect a few days ago and went out, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a while." ”

Zhang Dali frowned and asked, "Then I don't know if Zhao Wushuang or Jiang Chuan is here?"

The guard said, "Senior Sister Zhao and Senior Brother Jiang also went out with Senior Brother Xiang. ”

Zhang Dali didn't expect to get such an answer, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "I don't know when Xiang Yu and they went out?"

The guard thought for a moment and replied, "If I remember correctly, Senior Brother Xiang and they should have gone out on the sixth day of the first month of this month, and it has been six days now. ”

Zhang Dali looked back at Cui Dahai, Cui Dahai understood, came up and said in Zhang Dali's ear, "Brother Zhao is the seventh day of the first month. ”

So, when the young master arrived at Wuwei Xiang Yu, they had already left, and they were empty.

Zhang Dali frowned and asked the guard again, "On the seventh day of the first month, there was a person named Zhao Zilong, or Zhang Muye, who came to Xiang Yu and them?"

The guard tilted his head and thought about it, and said helplessly, "I'm really sorry master, there are countless people coming from this sect all day long, even if he came to ask, I can't remember what happened six or seven days ago." ”

When Zhang Dali heard this, he shook his head and said to the guard, "Thank you." ”

After speaking, he took Cui Dahai away, and when he was far away, Cui Dahai asked, "Third uncle, what does this mean, let's not look for it?"

Zhang Dali sighed, "It seems that when the young master came, he pounced on the air, and he didn't find Xiang Yu and them, but he couldn't find Xiang Yu and them, where would the young master go?"

Cui Dahai nodded, "Yes, Brother Zhao is penniless, and it is impossible to go far, he should still be in Wuwei City." ”

Zhang Dali pondered for a while and said, "Fortunately, this is the territory of the Instrument Sect, the young master should not be in too much danger, let's find a place to settle down first, and then slowly find the young master." ”

Of course, Cui Dahai is not indispensable.
