Raising the Demon

Chapter 55

Bai Feng's words were ugly, but Zhu Zi knew that he was wrong, so he just hung his head.

Zi Baifeng took out the official authority of the village, reprimanded Zhuzi, and said to Erhei: "Erhei, go back and report the letter, let the old man bring people here, and see how these people will be dealt with."

Seeing that Erhei was going to Lataxue, he hurriedly said, "You go back with Tianbing!"

"I don't want it!" Erhei yelled, where did the Yan's Heavenly Soldiers care about him?Pick him up and run away.

"Don't say anything!" Zi Baifeng urged loudly.

Zi Baifeng didn't forget that if the villagers saw the Heavenly Soldiers of the Yan Family, what would happen? We should let the Heavenly Soldiers of the Yan Family go back first.

"Don't say anything!" Zi Baifeng pointed at the pillar and threatened again.

"What... what did I say?" Zhuzi didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

Zi Baifeng just pretend that he really doesn't know.

The two of them waited until the sun was high before they heard the noisy voices coming from outside.

"Baifeng! Baifeng! Zhuzi! Zhuzi!" Zijian's voice came, but he was terrified. When he entered the door, he saw that Zhuzi and Zi Baifeng were both in good health. Zi Baifeng was holding a book with his thin legs Looking at it with relish, Zhu Zi has fallen asleep on the robber's bed.

"Father, why did you come here?" Zi Baifeng complained, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

What greeted him was Zijian's slap, swung up Lao Gao, but lightly patted him on the top of the head: "You scared me to death!"

He was woken up by Erhei in the middle of the night. After saying this, Zijian's soul was about to fly away. He knocked on the door of Yan Laowu's house overnight, and then gathered all the strong men, and all the way to kill here.

Fortunately, Erhei has a good memory, and he found the right place after touching the wrong way once.

"I don't know what's going on, they were bitten by poisonous snakes when they came here." Zi Baifeng was facing Yan Laowu's questioning, pretending to be dumb and cute.

"How can a poisonous snake bite a dozen or so people?" Yan Laowu didn't believe him, stared at him, then turned to look at Zhuzi, and said, "Zhuzi, tell me what's going on!"

"I don't know what's going on, they all fell down as soon as I shot them." Zhu Zi also pretended to be innocent. Isn't this guy so stupid, and also a little cunning.

"Old man, look, it's about ten taels of silver." Zi Baifeng shook the small bag in his hand, "I'm rich!"

Sure enough, the old man's attention was diverted, the old man snatched it with his hands, counted upside down and counted again, the molars behind his smile were exposed, and after counting, his expression became serious, and he said: "Confiscated!" into his arms.

"Old man, you can't do this, this is the spoils of mine and Uncle Zhuzi, you can't just take it all away!" Zi Baifeng refused.

"Zhuzi, I will punish him again. Anyway, these people were bitten by poisonous snakes. They have nothing to do with you. They are nothing like spoils of war." Yan Laowu said.

Zi Baifeng discouraged: "Okay!"

"What's so good? I haven't asked you about the crime of running around in the middle of the night!" The old man was still grimacing.

"Old man, a few of them outside were bitten by poisonous snakes, and they lost too much blood. They are almost dying. You are good at healing wounds. Go and have a look." The villagers didn't want these robbers to die by their own hands. If they were alive, But it's all silver.

Only then did the old man let Zi Baifeng and Zhuzi go, they looked at each other with joy in their eyes, but they forgot that there was another Zijian here, and they scolded them again.

The old man outside looked at these people, and immediately ordered: "These people will not be dragged back, let's go directly to Ramon City!"

Putting these people on flatbed carts and unicycles, the group of people who were originally transporting food were changed to pulling robbers this time. They attracted countless eyeballs along the way, and pulled sixteen robbers to Mengcheng Mansion. Even the mansion was alarmed and came out. commended them.After all this tossing, when they returned to Xiayan Village, it was already dark.

With a bang, everyone went back to each house, each looked for each mother, Zi Baifeng was inevitably scolded again, and even Er Hei was taught by his father for a long time, but Xiao Shitou came over and complained: "Brother, it's so fun Why didn't you call me?"

"Why do I call you, you have to be hugged by your aunt when you sleep at such an age." Zi Baifeng nodded his head.

"Go!" Zijian patted him on the head angrily, "Go and play, adults talk, children don't join in blindly!"

Little Shitou didn't realize that he was scolded at all, and went to play with the two puppies.

These ten or so robbers were arrested by the people of Xiayan Village and sent to the officials. They were interrogated and convicted. A few of the heinous ones were beheaded and hung on their heads. Some villagers came back and said that they heard the wind, and the robbers became active again.

In fact, Zi Baifeng was quite looking forward to it. If it costs around ten taels of silver to cut off a crop of robbers, then the money will come very quickly.

But the villagers were a little worried. The pillars were entangled with a few young and strong men who practiced bows and arrows every day, and vowed to practice their hands with those robbers. Most of the villagers also brought bows and arrows with them when they entered the city, which was a lot of burden. Zi Baifeng was worried that his father had gone to Mengcheng.

On this day, Zi Baifeng followed his father to the mill to repair the mill. He ground his own flour by the way. He stood outside the mill for a while, watching the small stones playing with the water by the river, quietly watching the rushing river, suddenly An idea popped up in my mind.

As soon as this idea came out, Zi Baifeng immediately wanted to slap himself twice.

Your sister, you are a pig, why do you have such a low IQ?How did you come up with this? ,

"Father! Father!" Zi Baifeng turned around and ran towards the mill, grabbing his father's clothes.

"What's the matter?" Zijianzheng and Erhei repaired the mill, they turned their heads and asked in surprise.

"Father, let's build a ship!" After finishing speaking, Zi Baifeng slapped his head suddenly, and said, "No, there is no need to build a ship, let's build a dock!"

As for boats, it’s okay to buy ready-made ones. It’s too slow to build them yourself. However, as long as there is a dock, cargo can be loaded.

"How can we afford a boat?" Dad's eyes widened.

As the saying goes, "Those born in the south don't see big carts, and those who grow up in the north don't see giant ships." Zi Baifeng doesn't know whether he is in the south or the north. This world may not have a clear concept of north and south, but this is a mountainous area, so no matter Whether it is a big car or a huge ship, I have never seen it, and it is not surprising that there are misunderstandings.

"Can't afford the big ones, and can't afford the small ones?" Zi Baifeng guessed, a boat, isn't it similar to a carriage?It's just a little bit bigger, just wood.

The proportion of water is much higher than that of food. If you use a cart to load a cart, no matter how strong the villagers are, you can load at most three stones, which is about two hundred catties.Only a strong man like Zhu Zi can control it. If Lao Tuozi is weak in physical strength, it would be good to be able to hold two stones.And if it is a flatbed truck, it may be slightly more, and it can hold three to four hundred catties, or several hundred catties of grain. What is it for water transportation?
The most important thing is that compared with taking a car, taking a boat is more comfortable!

Well, looking at the rushing water flow outside the window, Zi Baifeng is not sure, is it really comfortable?

"What? Buy a boat?" Hearing Zi Baifeng's words, Yan Laowu's first reaction was to shake his head, "What's the use of buying a boat?"

"Of course it's useful to buy a boat, you can transport grain directly from here to Mengcheng..." Zi Baifeng said.

Yan Lao Wu stretched out his hand to touch Zi Baifeng's head again, Zi Baifeng shook it away quickly, and said, "What's the matter? I don't have a fever!"

"Why do you have a whimsical idea when you don't have a fever?" Yan Lao Wu shook his head, this idea was less reliable than the idea of ​​the previous station.

"Is that whimsical? Old man, can we go to Mengcheng by boat?"

"That's true. The Meng River is five miles away from Mengcheng, and there is a waterway leading water to the moat of Mengcheng. When I was young, merchants from Mengcheng often came to collect mountain goods by boat." The old man said.

"Then how can it be called whimsical? It would be great to transport it directly from here to Mengcheng by water!"

"Have you calculated how long it will take to pay back the cost of buying a boat just to transport grain?" The old man couldn't laugh or cry.

"Not just food, but also other things?" Zi Baifeng retorted.

"It can be shipped out now."

"But it's a lot of trouble now, it's not safe yet." Zi Baifeng struggled.

"Why do you have to worry about trouble? People in the village are short of money, not time." Yan Lao Wu has a better understanding than Zi Baifeng, "Besides, it's safe to take a boat? If the boat capsizes, you'll run away. None can escape."

"At least it's more convenient to go to and from Mengcheng by boat..." Zi Baifeng muttered weakly.

"If you want to buy it, you should buy a smaller one first." Yan Laowu sighed helplessly, he really couldn't stand Zi Baifeng's expectant eyes, "Or ask your father to help you make one. "

"I want to get a big boat! That kind of tank boat..." However, Zi Baifeng also felt that this matter was really unreliable, so let's start with a small boat first.Make a three or four meter long boat...

Once an idea popped up, it was hard to suppress it. Zi Baifeng announced when he got home that he would either buy a boat or build a boat!
"Then let's make one." If two choices are presented, he will still prefer to choose the easier one. For Zi Baifeng, the easy thing is to buy a boat, but for Zijian, the easy thing is to buy a boat. Do it, at least it doesn't cost money, right?There are a lot of good logs in the mountains, just cut them down, throw them into the creek, and drag them back from the mountain.

"Father, can you make a boat?" Zi Baifeng asked.

Zijian stretched out his hands and squeezed. Usually this action is asking for money, but this time, what he wants is the design drawing.

"I've never made a wooden boat, but I've made a wooden barrel." The old man said, "It's fine if the seams fit perfectly."

Dad, your requirements are really low...Zi Baifeng was speechless, so he had to go back and draw the design.

After finishing the painting, Zi Baifeng asked his father, "Dad, how long does it take to build a boat..."

"No matter what, it will take two or three months. If you want to make the boat watertight, you need to repeatedly brush tung oil..." Zijian unfolded the design drawing and looked at it. His son's design drawing is really good, but it is not the same as the boat Zijian has seen before. Too the same, how did he know that Zi Baifeng painted the motorboats of later generations.Zi Baifeng didn't plan to have any sails or oars. He planned to use his aura as a drive to make a propeller and let it turn by itself.

"Shua..." Before Zijian finished speaking, Zi Baifeng had already pulled back the design, turned around and ran off to step on the snow, "Father, I'm going to Mengcheng."

"Stop for me, if you dare to buy a boat, don't enter this house!"
