Chapter 134 135 Preparation

Li Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm here to make something for you." He took out the blueprint and handed it to Carpenter Chen, "It's called a trebuchet, I want to put it at the village entrance and Dwarf Mountain Pass to deal with those bandits, it's going to be troublesome. Hurry up and help make it happen."

"Let's see," Carpenter Chen took the drawing, looked at it for a while, pointed at the drawing, and asked, "Xiaoyu, what are these two similar things, what is the purpose of this long one?"

Li Yu pointed to the drawing and explained, "The long one is the long arm of the lever, and the small one at the top of the long arm is used to hold the stones to launch, and the short one is called the short lever arm, and the one at the top of the short arm is filled with stones to lift. subsidence."

After listening to Carpenter Chen, he thought for a while, "I understand, it's not difficult to make this thing, I have hardwood and iron, beef tendon, Luozhu, and lumber in my house. You can go back and prepare a few strong long ropes, and then find the old village chief. Let him weave a few kebabs as you wish."

"Okay, I'll go right now." Li Yu turned around and went to the old village chief and asked him to weave a few round baskets the size of a dustpan. The old village chief nodded and said, "Go and get busy, I'll take the bamboo sticks for you. Compiled by the carpenter's uncle's house."

When Zhou Jia arrived at Zhuangzi, he told the long-term workers about the situation last night, and said to them: "Now that the government has closed the city gate, it doesn't matter if we live or die, if Liu Fei gathers more people, they will definitely kill them once the village is broken. Together, we can survive.”

Foreman Lin Dashan bowed to Zhou Jia and said, "Mr. Zhou, if you have any orders, just say, we wouldn't have a safe life without you taking in us."

The other dozen or so long-term workers also said, "Yes! Mr. Zhou, if you have something to do, just give it an order. We know what's going on."

Zhou Jia bowed his hands at them, "Thank you, everyone, now you go with me to pick up stones and transport them to the entrance of the village and the two short mountain passes."

"Okay, let's go now."

Zhou Jia took the long workers to carry the stones down from the mountain to the entrance of the village. Chen Yaozu said to Zhou Jia after seeing it: "Mr. Zhou, you are studying, how can you do these things? You can leave it to me when you go back. It's done." Chen Yaozu said and pushed Zhou Jia back.

Zhou Jia smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, these things are not difficult, I can't watch everyone busy but I don't do anything!"

Chen Yaohui saw that Zhou Jia insisted on going, so he had to let go, "You have to be careful not to get hurt anywhere."

"Okay, I'll pay attention, thank you."

Brother Yang took Yang Chun for five or six days in the cold, and arrived in a forest called Wild Boar Ridge, a hundred miles past Tongzhou City, and went into the mountain to find a band of bandits gathered there.

Brother Yang found the bandit boss in Wild Boar Ridge, and the boss turned out to be the third lone wolf in Qingfeng Ridge.

Lone Wolf looked at Brother Yang mockingly, "Didn't you go to start a new one? Why do you have time to see me?"

Brother Yang bowed towards the lone wolf and said, "Big brother, my younger brother met a strong enemy and killed a lot of brothers. I also asked my elder brother to help me sell some bows."

Lone Wolf looked at Brother Yang and thought, "I don't know how to lift up a dog, and I don't want to be the second head of the family. Now I have to ask my grandfather to knock him out."

Lone Wolf made up his mind and said slowly: "The price of bows is not cheap, as long as you can pay for the money, why don't I sell them!"

When Brother Yang saw Lone Wolf's eyes rolling around, he knew that he couldn't buy a bow today without a big price, so he bowed to Brother Yang and saluted, "Brother, as long as you sell me the bow, you can tell me the number, even if you smash the pot and sell the iron. The little brother who sells iron will also join you."

Lone Wolf smiled and watched Brother Yang raise three fingers, "Count this one, and I'll give you four bows."

Brother Yang chuckled, "What does eldest brother mean, thirty-two?"

"Bah," Lone Wolf spat at him, "you have such a big face, you can't buy it during the thirty-two Taiping years, three hundred and two bows, twenty-two arrows, and fifty loves at most. Do you want."

Brother Yang estimated the money in the bag and said with a smile: "Yes, why not, I want four bows, brother, you can prepare fifty arrows for me."

"Okay, I'll have someone take it for you." Lone Wolf touched his chin and looked at Brother Yang and said: "It's only been two months, and he's got so much money. It seems that there are a lot of rich people in Tongzhou. .

"Yang Changkun, Tongzhou looks good! You haven't had a long time now! Did you get so much money?"

Brother Yang saw the yin and yang of the lone wolf, and after offering the money, he said with a smile: "Big brother, it's all the money that the big guys put together. They took out the coffin book for revenge."

Lone Wolf counted the silver, and laughed loudly, "Avenge? Are you still looking for revenge? I'm afraid you can't even count the number of people looking for revenge!

"This... this..." Brother Yang smiled awkwardly. At this time, Lone Wolf's men took out the bow and arrows. Lone Wolf waved at Brother Yang, "Take it and go! Don't come later. , my eyes hurt when I see you."

"Thank you eldest brother, my younger brother will leave." Brother Yang didn't care about Lone Wolf's disgusting expression at all, he picked up his bow and arrow and went down the mountain with Yang Chun.

Li Yu took Carpenter Chen to make three trebuchets, and the larger one was placed at the entrance of the village and the smaller one was carried to the low mountain pass for placement.

All the people in the village came. Someone pulled down the short lever arm, put the big stone in the basket and closed the lid, then sealed the stone in the basket with a rope, and then pulled down the long lever arm to put the stone in the sling. , let go of the rope in his hand and the short arm sank, and the stone in the sling pocket at the top of the long arm flew out like a cannonball and smashed into the open space outside the village.

"Sure enough, it flew out." Everyone cheered.

"Sister, you are really amazing." Li Qing looked at Li Yu proudly, Li Yu blushed and said embarrassingly, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's the person who taught me."

Everything is ready. People in the village feel a lot more at ease. After several days, no bandits came to harass the village. The tension in the hearts of the villagers loosened, and some villagers relaxed their vigilance.

That evening, when Li Yu arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw that Chunsheng and He Tiezhu, who were supposed to be patrolling in front of the gate of the village, fell asleep while burning fire in the shed. Li Yu woke them up, "Chunsheng, Tiezhu, you are not patrolling. What? Why did you fall asleep?"

He Tiezhu lowered his head and dared not look at Li Yu, Chunsheng glanced at Li Yu and smiled indifferently: "Xiaoyu, you see they haven't come for so many days, I think they dare not come, even if they come over there. And Brother Zhaocai, they are still guarding!"

Li Yu turned around and left when he didn't care. He went back to the village to find Chen Yaohui, and said to Chen Yaohui worriedly: "Uncle, you have to talk to the big guy, don't let your guard down or something big will happen."

Chen Yaohui reassured Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, don't worry too much. You can see that it's been half a month since this flash. Last time they suffered so many casualties, I think they must be afraid and we dare not come."

After hearing this, Li Yu felt that Chen Yaohui was still the same as before, carelessly ignorant of the sinister nature of the human heart.
