Chapter 28: Two enthusiastic citizens were brought over
“Let’s make mahjong.”
“Mahjong?” Hunter Arnold was even more interested. He looked at Zheng Yichen’s handiwork and saw that a piece of quality The good wood was divided into many small pieces. With the aid of the measuring ruler, those small pieces of wood were subsequently cut into rectangular parallelepipeds with the same specifications.
There are no traces on the back, but different groups are engraved on the front, including long strips and cylinders. The number should represent numbers. There are four cards of each type, including cards representing directions.
However, from a quantitative perspective, Zheng Yichen has only completed about half of the progress.
"I'm here to help." Hunter Arnold took out his dagger and started to help Zheng Yichen handle the small pieces of wood.
He was very straightforward when he took action. After simply measuring the specifications with a measuring tape, he quickly cut the small wooden blocks into the desired specifications. Seeing this, Zheng Yichen concentrated on the carving work. With him With help, the remaining parts were quickly completed.
A pair of mahjong made by hand, although it feels a bit light, it can be used here at least.
"Let me tell you some simple rules." Zheng Yichen briefly explained the gameplay to Arnold, who had high expectations.
“It’s a very novel thing. Although it’s a little troublesome to carry, I think I’ll like it.” After the hunter Arnold learned the relevant rules, he lightly raised his eyebrows and naturally changed the topic. Transferred to Zheng Yichen: "It seems that you have experienced a fierce battle."
Zheng Yichen glanced at his left arm: "I met a mule with long horns, wait for me."
He took the simply processed mule head from the church's storage room and looked at it , Hunter Arnold was not too surprised: "You didn't sell this thing to the research institute, did you want to use it yourself?"
"Yes, but I personally am not good at dealing with these." Zheng Yichen did not hide himself purpose.
Arnold inspected the mule's head: "The most valuable parts are probably its horns and tongue. The flesh part is of no use. Some special people should want the skull and brain. But it has been there for a long time, and only the skull can be used."
As a more professional hunter, Arnold quickly identified the value of this thing: "Conventional processing methods will be such a waste. For the materials, it is recommended that you remove the flesh and blood parts and keep the rest.”
"I can help you with the tongue part, but there is a fee."
The head and horns of a mule can be kept for a long time, but the tongue is flesh and blood, but the texture is like tough tendons, but even if It's the kind of thing that needs to be handled properly before it can be used properly. Although he and hunter Arnold knew each other, they only met each other a few times, and the charges were normal.
"As long as the price is acceptable to me, I'll trouble you."
Arnold nodded and quoted a price that Zheng Yichen felt was quite appropriate, fifteen thousand.
After he mentioned the price, he added additionally: "This thing is not an ordinary tongue, so it is quite troublesome to deal with it well. What I did was only basic treatment. When you encounter more problems in the future, A good craftsman might be able to make a difference.”
"You have to know that the length of this thing is really too short."
According to Zheng Yichen's account, the mule's tongue is very long. Normally it would be almost half a meter when it is stretched out, but the maximum extension is only The distance is about one meter. It is difficult to make a whip with this length, and it is not suitable for a bow string.
Arnold himself is not a hunter who is good at making props. What he can do is rough processing, retaining the properties of this thing, and using it as a tool on a daily basis... such as a belt. At least this thing is much stronger than the belts on the market.
The horn can be used as a short thorn by simply handling it. The more important thing is that the thing is not made of metal, but its strength is not inferior to metal. When entering certain places To be able to carry it in covertly, the premise is that the method of hiding things is clever enough so that it cannot be detected by instruments and can also avoid being searched by others.
"This thing seems to have some other effect." When performing follow-up treatment on this tongue, hunter Arnold said slightly in surprise. He shook the tongue in his hand, and a subtle hissing sound sounded in the air. At this sound, he immediately stopped.
“It seems that in addition to using this thing as a belt, you can also use it as an interference prop. I feel that the charge is a bit low, but who made us agree?”< br>
Zheng Yichen felt that after he gave the pair of mahjong to hunter Arnold, he became more talkative. Arnold used an unknown potion to treat the tongue: "Okay , then just leave this thing for a few hours. Although there is not much skin on its head, it is still useful. I will help you take care of this head, and the skin belongs to me.”
Yes. Zheng Yichen has no objection to this: "That's no problem."
All he wanted to keep at first was the horn, but now it's good to have an extra tongue that can be kept. The other parts are purely bonus. Yes.
Compared with the troublesome steps of treating the tongue, the mule's head was much faster. It didn't take long for Arnold to come back here with a head with only bones left, and said impatiently: "Let us try what you do." I want to get familiar with the rules of mahjong."
After finishing his business, Arnold seemed to be very addicted to playing cards. Zheng Yichen said to him: "Actually, it is the most interesting to play with four people. "
Arnold looked at the other people in the church, stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin gently: "No one I know is here. Let's bring over two enthusiastic ordinary citizens."
"Is this okay?" Zheng Yichen looked at the atmosphere of 'quiet years and good times' that filled the church, and then nodded: "I also think this is okay. You said we can just bring two people over. Can a nun do it? "
Taking a nun to play mahjong, or doing such a thing in a church, Zheng Yichen felt that this church really believed in the words of God, and the old man might give him a divine punishment.
However, what is believed in here is ‘twilight’.
"You can try it." Arnold raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that Zheng Yichen's proposal was very bold, but this proposal was exciting, since he was not the one to invite it anyway.
But... the nuns refused, including the nun Tia who Zheng Yichen found.
After he came back a little disappointed, Arnold looked at Zheng Yichen with a surprised expression. Being looked at by a strong man like this made Zheng Yichen feel quite uncomfortable: "What's wrong?"
"You actually know a nun's name?"
"Huh? What's the special meaning of this?" Zheng Yichen was quite surprised to be asked this question.
Arnold shook his head: "The nuns here are sure to answer some questions, but it is not easy to really get to know them. Now that you know the name of a nun, it will be fine. Let her talk more.”
What kind of Riddler segment is this? ?
