Not long after lunch that day, Zhou's father saw Sanbao going out quietly. He followed him quietly out of curiosity. Fortunately, Sanbao did not go to the other side, but he went around to the back of Su's courtyard.
Father Zhou, who wanted to find out what his son was doing, followed behind him. Sanbao didn't pay attention. He only saw him whistling under the corner when he came to Su's courtyard.
Not long after, a person poked out from the wall. Father Zhou was surprised. It was Su Ying, the daughter of the Su family. Father Zhou couldn't help but feel frightened. What had happened to these children? They didn't think they were making enough noise.
Sanbao didn't even notice that his father was behind him. He asked Zhou Ying in a low voice on the wall: "Have you brought him out?"
"Here." Su Ying, who had climbed up the wall, waved the package in her hand towards Sanbao, "Throw it down." Sanbao immediately urged.
"You think so, take me on." Zhou Ying immediately demanded.
"Why are you joining in the fun?" Su Yuan replied.
"Okay, I'm going back." Zhou Ying said, holding her bag and shrinking back.
"Auntie, come back." Sanbao said anxiously: "I promise you, can't you do it?"
Finally, Zhou Ying's proud face appeared again from the top of the wall. She slowly climbed up the wall and then slid down the wall. Sanbao followed below. Zhou's father saw that his son had already hugged Su Ying's waist, and he was momentarily moved.
He hesitated whether he should step forward to stop him, as this would definitely cause some trouble, so he should go back and teach this kid a lesson. Soon, Sanbao pulled Zhou Ying and ran towards the mountainous area.
San Bao and Zhou Ying have been playing together since they were young. Both of them have also sent messages to their brothers and sisters. Although their families no longer allow them to interact with each other after they left, they still keep in touch secretly. San Bao wants to imitate the Su family.
The technology of making gunpowder naturally reminded me of Su Ying.
In a remote place outside the town, the two stopped and asked, "Have you brought them all?" Sanbao asked, grabbing the bag in her hand.
"Yeah." Zhou Ying responded. The two opened their bags. Sanbao also laid out the things he brought and said, "Let's see if what I did this time is okay?"
What Sanbao brought was gunpowder that he had made by himself and several very thick whip tubes and gunpowder. Zhou Ying brought only gunpowder. Both of them were very skilled. They put their own gunpowder in whip tubes and twisters.
.
"Let's see." Sanbao said hopefully, "I hope the power this time can catch up with yours."
Sanbao lit the big firecrackers that had just been made in the distance, and then ran back and watched from Su Ying's side. Following two deafening explosions, the two of them happily ran forward to observe the effect.
"It's almost the same this time." Sanbao said happily as he looked at the hole blasted on the ground.
"It's not even close." The attentive Zhou Ying said: "Look at the broken confetti, yours is obviously not broken enough, that means it is not powerful enough."
"I exactly followed the gunpowder method and mixing ratio you told me." Sanbao replied, "I'm careful enough."
"Being careful does not mean being correct," Zhou Ying said.
"I didn't see how your family made it. I also made it according to my family's craftsmanship." Sanbao replied.
"Your family makes fireworks." Zhou Ying said immediately: "There is something different here after all."
"It's a pity that I can't enter your house, otherwise I would like to see your production process." Sanbao said regretfully: "By the way, how about you come to my house and give me some pointers."
"Bah, you can't come to my house, how can I come to yours?" Zhou Ying immediately said: "My father hasn't broken my legs yet!"
"Then you should watch carefully later and tell me in detail." Sanbao felt that this was the only way.
"Well, by the way, these are some elixirs I brought." Zhou Ying responded.
"That's great." Sanbao was even more happy about this.
"You don't want to use it to throw cannons for fun, do you?" Zhou Ying was surprised by his performance and asked: "This is just one thing."
"I still want to make crackers." Sanbao immediately replied: "I want to make a big cracker and a big firecracker that goes off as soon as it is pulled."
"When it's done, be sure to call me out to try it." Zhou Ying said immediately.
"Of course, if it happens, you can get me this sensitive method of making gunpowder." Sanbao immediately suggested.
"You have a beautiful idea, but you have to push it further." Zhou Ying said deliberately.
"What's the matter? My sister has run away with your brother, so it's just a betrothal gift from your family." Sanbao said immediately.
"It was your sister who ran away with my brother." Zhou Ying said immediately: "It was you who reported the letter. Don't think I don't know. I saw you coming to my house that night."
"Stop it." Sanbao immediately said with a guilty conscience: "Don't mention this matter."
"If you're afraid, then call me." Su Ying said proudly.
"Okay," Sanbao could only respond.
"Okay, time is running out. It's time for me to go back." Su Ying said. This time the two of them did not return together. After all, the family did not want to see them coming and going. Once they were discovered, it would be difficult to go out together.
