Chapter 229 Private work under the well [4]
Qin Xiaomi didn’t want Cao Siwen to know about their investigation in the well in the middle of the night, so the place they chose was the open space behind the workshop, which was empty and uninhabited.
So Jiang Dalang can speak with confidence: "It's because of the Fenfang Courtyard. There are several secret rooms in the Fenfang Courtyard. Mr. Lin Qi and the others also said that in places like Laojing, it is easiest to dig small secret rooms to hide. stuff, plus the ghost village and the old case of massacre in the village have not been solved, I am very worried about what is in the old well, so I want to go down the well Go and have a look."
"It's a pity that after a long night of work, no mechanism or secret passage was found."
Jiang Dalang said happily: "It's a good thing that we didn't find it. You can live in the village with peace of mind and don’t have to worry about evil thieves climbing up from the well.”
Qin Xiaomi twitched his lips slightly, what you said was a bit scary.
“After the investigation, we can indeed live more peacefully.” Qin Xiaomi said, looked at him again, and asked with a smile: “But when did Brother Dalang learn the skills to investigate tunnels and secret rooms? "
Her smile was bright and a bit dazzling, but Jiang Dalang knew that if he didn't answer well, what was waiting for him would be to reveal his secret and die together again!
After all, the ability to detect secret passages is not something that ordinary people have the opportunity to come into contact with.
Jiang Dalang looked around to make sure there was no one there, then suddenly approached her, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Part of it was taught by your grandfather."
Qin Xiaomi frowned, took a few steps back, distanced himself from him, and warned: "Don't come over suddenly, otherwise you may be beaten, remember?"
This?
It’s so heartless.
Qin Xiaomi ignored his stunned and injured look and continued to ask: "My grandfather knows the art of chance?"
Jiang Dalang nodded, with brilliance and admiration in his eyes, and said: " Well, Grandpa Qin is very capable, and he has always taken the time to teach me some skills, including the art of intelligence and scouting skills.”
Qin Xiaomi was shocked: "Grandpa really knows the art of chance?"
However, grandpa served in the army when he was young, and he taught the children of Qin, Jiang, Xu Qiao and others how to kick and kick, and the tracking and surveying The scouting skill was also used on the way to escape, and it didn't seem to be a shock if he learned the skill of wit again.
Jiang Dalang nodded: "Yes. But Grandpa Qin told me not to tell you too much. He said that this is a man's business. You are a little girl. When I learn it, I can use it to protect you. "
Hehe, Qin Xiaomi disagreed with this, but he did not continue to talk, but continued: "But even if grandpa knows the art of chance, he can't teach you too much. Well...if grandpa was really that capable, he wouldn't have been able to resign and become a general long ago."
Jiang Dalang said: "Xiaomi is right, in addition to grandpa Qin, I also have my grandfather, Huang Wushu, and so on. Lin Zongqi and the others have learned the art of Ji Kuai... Lin Zongqi also gave me a book explaining Ji Kuai, saying that it was given to him by Vice General Liang."
Qin Xiaomi paused... In his memory, the old scholar Jiang loved to collect all kinds of books and also loved to make clever gadgets. Jiang Dalang had been exposed to it since he was a child, so he could indeed learn it.
If Lin Zongqi wants to climb up, he really needs to learn the art of machine learning. After all, it will be used in battles.
But...
"Uncle Huang Wu also knows the art of cleverness?"
Jiang Dalang nodded: "Well, they occasionally need to repair the ship. If not, they will repair it. No ships.”
To repair and build ships, one must know the art of craftsmanship.
Qin Xiaomi looked at Jiang Dalang for a while and said, "Can you lend me the book Mr. Lin gave me to read?"
"Of course, Xiaomi wants to read it now. "?" Jiang Dalang seemed happy that she asked him for something, grinning.
The young man smiled sincerely, and his smile was as bright as the sun. Qin Xiaomi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he saw it... Jiang Dalang loved to laugh, and when he smiled, it was warm and bright, not Like a dog emperor, he puts on an unlucky face every day and looks like his whole family is dead!
After a while, Qin Xiaomi put away his thoughts and said to Jiang Dalang: "Well, I want it now, go get it." "Hey, I'll get it for you right now." Jiang Dalang was very happy, turned around and ran away Returned to the workshop and went to where he slept He pulled out a box from the house and took two books from it. After putting them in the bag, he ran back and handed them to her happily: "Xiaomi, here you go...one that talks about the machine, and one that talks about the secret path." ”
Qin Xiaomi took it and flipped through the two books. After a moment, he was slightly shocked and said: "This kind of book is considered a secret. Mr. Lin actually gave it to you. Look. He is very satisfied with you and really wants to win over and train you."
Jiang Dalang said: "General Lin Qi really wants me to join the army, but I refuse for the time being. Absolutely, I want to wait a few years, when our family is stable, and then we can see the situation."
Asked her again: "Xiaomi, do you want me to join the army?"
Qin. Xiaomi returned the book to him and said: "If you never join the army, you can make your own decision. After all, this is your future. You don't need to consider me."
this?
Susu really didn't care about him at all.
Jiang Dalang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pointed at the book and asked, "Xiaomi, don't you keep it and read it?"
Qin Xiaomi shook his head: "General Lin Qi is a military master. , this is something from the military, I shouldn’t look at it, and don’t show it to others, lest anything happens in the future, you will have to take responsibility.”
“Okay, I understand. "Jiang Dalang took the book.
Qin Xiaomi did not stay and went back to the workshop to prepare the secret recipe package.
As for Jiang Dalang's words, she did not believe them all. Near evening, she found an opportunity to ask Master Huang: "Does your martial artist also know the art of cleverness?"
Huang Yanglong yesterday I didn't sleep well at night, I was sleepy and tired, and I still had to work. I was very grumpy. After hearing this, I shouted: "There are some great martial arts masters. Otherwise, how can the ship be repaired if it breaks down at sea?!"
Ugh, I have such a bad temper.
Qin Xiaomi asked again: "Can you do it?"
Huang Yanglong raised his bloodshot eyes and glared at her: "You look down on me? My family started out as a fisherman. Boats are life. If I can't even repair boats, how can I inherit the family business?!"
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
Well, that makes sense, but can you stop acting like a maniac?
After Qin Xiaomi asked clearly, he didn’t stay long, turned around and left... But he still didn’t give up the temptation in his heart. There is only so much time to come. A person can pretend for a day or two, but not for ten or eight years. Is that right? As time goes by, you can always find clues.
Jiang Dalang also knew that Qin Xiaomi would not believe him so easily, but what he had done in the past two days had achieved his goal.
He would ask Huang Laowu and the others to go down to the well to investigate, for two purposes.
First, the old well may indeed contain secret rooms and secret passages, so in order to live in peace of mind, he must go down and take a look.
The second is to use this incident to reveal that he has been learning the art of machine learning, so that in a few years, what he has done will be discovered by Xiaomi, and Xiaomi will doubt his identity. .
......
After inspecting the old well, Grandpa Qin felt relieved and went to Cao Siwen and others and said, "We have discussed it, and for thirty taels of silver, please repair it. The old well...when do you plan to repair it?”
After Cao Siwen and the others heard this, they were overjoyed. It's done, it's finally done!
