Chapter 157: Valley of Peace
The valley where Chu Boping lived in the Immortal Burial Mountains in Youzhou is now as prosperous as a small town, a prosperous scene.
Many of those poor children who have been continuously absorbed have grown up and become the mainstay of the valley. Chu Boping does not have strict restrictions on these children. Some of them have already married and had children, and the valley has become theirs.
Home.
The craftsmen who were "invited" to the valley by Chu Boping had already reunited with their families in the valley. They were completely impressed by the Mohist skills when they made objects for Chu Boping, and no one asked to leave the valley.
The level of skills has also been greatly improved, and every craftsman in the valley is at the level of a famous craftsman outside.
This valley was named Ping'an Valley by Chu Boping, and the meaning is self-evident. The biggest difference between this place and the outside world is that Mohist methods have been completely integrated here.
Wang Zhai is a young craftsman in the valley. His father was one of the first craftsmen to enter the Ping An Valley. Not long after his father entered the valley, their family was brought to the valley. Wang Zhai grew up in the Ping An Valley since he was a child.
Now I have reached my prime years.
He has been watching his father and uncles making various objects since he was a child, and he is full of interest in craftsmanship. When he grew up, he naturally inherited his father's business and became a craftsman.
Despite his youth, this guy has good skills in both carpentry and blacksmithing. If he were to be released out of the valley, he would definitely be the best among his peers.
At this time, Wang Zhai was making utensils as usual. Many of the things they made were made by the young master providing drawings. They did not know the specific uses of many things.
The young master would give guidance to the craftsmen every now and then, and they benefited a lot from every guidance.
Wang Zhai skillfully completed the more delicate tasks, and he would directly hand over some relatively simple steps to the puppets around him to complete. The Mohist puppets had already been integrated into their lives, and Wang Zhai was used to a life with puppets to help them.
These puppets are very obedient. After recognizing their master, they can communicate spiritually with their master and control them like arms and fingers, which greatly improves the efficiency of various things in the valley.
The biggest disadvantage of puppets is that they consume energy. An ordinary craftsman like Wang Zhai can only control one. However, he once saw the astonishing scene of the young master controlling ten puppets at the same time, which made him envious.
After finishing his work, Wang Zhai tidied up and left the workshop. His stomach growled. It was already past meal time because he was too involved in the work. He finally realized that he was hungry. Fortunately, the workshop was near the valley.
The dining hall, when Wang Zhai came to the dining hall, there were not many people here.
It doesn't cost money to eat in the valley, and the food in the canteen is so delicious that even Wang Zhai, who has been eating in the canteen since he was a child, is still not tired of it.
The steward in the canteen is a woman in her thirties. She is now fair-skinned and beautiful, with a slender and plump figure. Although she has a strong personality, she is still a beauty.
When Wang Zhai first entered the valley, the canteen manager was not like this. At that time, she was very big and round-waisted, her fat trembled when she walked, she spoke in an angry tone, and she had a gangster air. Wang Zhai every day when she was a child.
Every time he went to the canteen to eat, he was a little timid, fearing that the eldest sister would suddenly go berserk and beat him up.
"Xiao Zhai, why are you so late today? Sister, whatever you want to eat, I'll cook it for you!" The canteen manager saw Wang Zhai walking into the canteen and said loudly and proudly. After she lost weight, her voice became much clearer.
Wang Zhai smiled slightly and said: "Sister Sirong, you can eat whatever you want. I forgot the time while working today and I'm really hungry."
He has been in Ping'an Valley for so many years. Even if this sister's appearance has not changed, Wang Zhai will no longer be afraid of her. Now there is only kindness.
"You work so hard for me, sister, I have to reward you. Find a place to sit and wait. The food will be ready in a while." The woman named Sirong said while working in the kitchen.
Wang Zhai didn't waste any time and just found a place to sit down and wait. With nothing to do, he looked around. It was already past meal time and there were not many people eating in the canteen.
Suddenly, Wang Zhai's eyes seemed to be attracted by nothing, and he was staring at a certain place.
There was a young woman who was about the same age as Wang Zhai, eating. She was not very tall, but she was very sweet. Looking at the elegant and indifferent way she ate, she must be a gentle and elegant woman.
The woman was wearing a plain skirt, but she was carrying a large wooden box behind her. She looked a bit nondescript. The woman raised her head inadvertently, and Wang Zhai immediately withdrew his gaze, pretending to be nonchalant.
At this time, a puppet came out of the kitchen carrying a tray, walked up to Wang Zhai, and placed the food on the tray on the table. There were three plates of dishes that looked delicious, delicious, and a large bowl of rice.
Sirong's voice came from the kitchen: "Xiao Zhai, eat it while it's hot. Sister, I'll clean up the kitchen."
Wang Zhai was not polite and began to enjoy the meal.
The sweet-looking woman finished her meal, stood up and started to put away the dishes. At this time, the canteen steward named Sirong came out of the kitchen. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly said: "Ruixue, just leave it to my sister."
Already."
Ruixue smiled gently and said: "Sister, you work too hard cooking for me all day long, let me take care of it."
Sirong was a little envious and said, "Oh, don't say that. Sister, I can also cook, but you can't help the young master."
"Sister, you have already helped the young master a lot by preparing us delicious meals here. If you don't have a full meal, how can you have the energy to do anything else?" Ruixue said seriously.
"My little Ruixue is still sweet-tongued. Unlike your brother, who trains hard every day and doesn't even bother to say a word." Sirong gently tapped Ruixue's little nose and smiled, then complained a little.
Ruixue said helplessly: "There is no way. Sister, you also know what the two of us are carrying. It's just that my talent is not good and I am not suitable for practice. Otherwise, I will practice hard every day."
"You are so strong without practicing, how can you be stronger after practicing?" Sirong said with a smile.
Ruixue shook her head and said: "My methods are all given by the young master, there is nothing strong about them."
"Why aren't you strong? Sister, I'm in the middle stage of Jinjing Realm and I will be knocked down if I meet you in front of you." Sirong frowned slightly and said excitedly.
Ruixue hugged Sirong's arm, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and whispered: "My sister, how dare Ruixue fight with you? I also want to eat the delicious food cooked by my sister."
"You are the only one who can speak!" Sirong smiled happily after hearing this.
Wang Zhai was eating the delicious food while paying attention to the conversation between the two women. The sweet-looking girl was named Li Ruixue. She was the little girl who was rescued by Chu Boping from Yong'an City on New Year's Eve. He also had an older brother.
His name is Li Fengnian, and he is now the leader of the Mozi team under the Young Master.
Wang Zhai has been fond of Li Ruixue since he was a child. However, due to his low status in Ping'an Valley and not being a master, he could not help but feel inferior and always kept his love in his heart.
The canteen steward named Sirong was Lu Zhengliang's fat and strong daughter back then. However, more than ten years later, she has actually lost weight, but she is still strong and strong.
Li Ruixue and Lu Sirong chatted for a few more words and then left the dining hall. At this time, Wang Zhai also filled his stomach and got up to leave.
Wang Zhai had finished his work for the day, so he had nothing to do after dinner. He walked towards his house.
Not far from the dining hall is the Ping An Valley school ground. At this time, many people are already practicing on the school ground. There are not only members of the Mozi team but also a large number of puppets. These puppets are their training partners.
Wang Zhai saw Li Ruixue's brother Li Fengnian. He did not dare to wait and see any longer, but quickened his pace. He had been afraid of this guy since he was a child.
When he got home, Wang Zhai's parents were taking a nap. He took some things from the room and left the house, walking to the river. The things he took were all things needed for fishing.
Wang Zhai's biggest hobby is fishing. When he has nothing to do, he will pick up his tools and run to the river.
When he came to the river, someone had already started fishing. The small bamboo basket in front of the person shook from time to time, indicating that he had obviously harvested something.
"Hey, Old Wu, you're lucky, let me see." Wang Zhai said while looking inside the shaking bamboo basket.
The old man ignored him, but focused on the changes in the fishing rod. Suddenly the fish floated. After some operations, he finally caught a big fish.
The old man held the big fish he had just caught and said proudly: "Xiao Zhai, have you seen that my old Wu Baodao is still young!"
Wang Zhai stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Awesome, worthy of being Lao Wutou!"
"Hahaha, just wait, kid, I'll catch a bigger one for you!" the old man said with a bright smile.
Wang Zhai also quickly prepared various fishing items. He swung the rod and said: "Hey, you said you are fat and you are still out of breath? Look, I will catch you a bigger fish than you just did!"
An old man and a young man were very busy at the river, and they both gained a lot.
A very strong-looking man came over. When he saw the old man's back, he immediately said: "Father, the young master has asked you to discuss something important."
"Hey, Xiao Zhaizi's competition is over for today. Let's compete again next time!" Old Wu Tou picked up the bamboo basket and walked to the river and said.
Wang Zhai realized something and hurriedly said: "Don't let it go, don't give it to me!"
But he spoke too late. When he finished speaking, Old Wutou had already thrown all the fish back into the river.
Old Wu glanced at Wang Zhai and said, "You said it was too late, it's all gone. I'll give it to you next time I go fishing."
Wang Zhai was helpless. He saw the two figures leaving quickly.
Old Wu Tou and his son arrived at the workshop very quickly. They walked to a room in the deepest part of the workshop. When Chu Boping saw them, he immediately said: "Uncle Wu, Beiwang, I have called you here today for some reason."
Things hurt each other.”
It turns out that Old Wu Tou is Wu Huaiqing, the martial arts master of Jin'an, and his son, needless to say, is Wu Beiwang, the son of Wu Huaiqing. Both of them are master masters.
"Sir, what happened?" Wu Huaiqing asked uneasily.
