During this period, the bandits sent several more grains.
Chu Mannu said this: "These can be considered as repaying my three meals a day in Nanshan Village."
But how much food could Chu Mannu eat for three meals a day?
Since all the food was delivered to the door, there was no reason to turn it away. Nanshan Village did not show any pretense and accepted all the food.
During this period of time, Gong Zihong came to Nanshan Village again, bringing a lot of food and a large amount of briquettes.
During this process, he met Chu Mannu, and he didn't know what they discussed.
He also approached Pei Yun and wanted him to continue to help him build weapons.
Pei Yun's answer was: "If time permits, I will consider it."
He dealt with Gong Zihong with an ambiguous answer.
Gong Zihong also brought a piece of news.
Recently, there is a group of bandits in Min County. There are quite a few bandits, numbering in the hundreds.
Just recently, a village was looted by them, and as a result, families were destroyed.
Even in the middle of winter, they still carried out robberies. It can be seen that this is a new force showing its fangs to the outside world.
There are hundreds of people, and the number alone is comparable to that of the Wa bandits in their heyday.
Just like Chu Mannu said.
It is not difficult for them to cultivate another Hao Zhi and another Cheng Yong.
There is a new group of bandits, which is not good news for Nanshan Village.
In Nanshan Village, Gong Zihong did not stay too long this time. After explaining the matter, he left with the team.
Maybe it’s to avoid suspicion, but also because the new year is approaching and there are a lot of things to do.
A few days later, Chu Mannu approached Pei Yun.
These days, she mainly hangs out in Nanshan Village.
But even just wandering around was an eye-opener for her.
She witnessed the construction of kilns and saw villagers using the kilns to burn bricks and even make cement.
And when bricks and cement were matched together, she witnessed houses coming from nothing.
She believed that she had seen a lot of things, and she had not seen many splendid buildings.
But these bricks and cement were definitely something she had never seen before.
These houses made of bricks and cement are not beautiful, they are boxy and look like a grid.
The appearance is also rough and without any decoration.
But even this seemingly inconspicuous house is extremely sturdy.
Don't be afraid of wind or rain.
Regardless of whether it is beautiful or not, this kind of house is definitely suitable for people to live in.
Simple and functional.
Looking at the process of building a house, it is simply adding bricks and cement.
Chu Mannu sneered at first, thinking that such a house would fall down with one push.
But when the house was actually built, Chu Mannu realized that he was completely wrong.
Even if he hits it with a weapon, it will only leave traces on the house.
This house, with walls less than a palm thick, is stronger than other houses I have seen.
The construction process is so simple.
I couldn't help but have an idea in my mind, if I could bring the bricks and cement back to Wazhai.
The problem is that Wazhai is some distance away from Nanshan Village. It is possible to transport a small amount of bricks and cement, but it is unrealistic to transport it on a large scale.
The matter of bricks and cement was put aside, and Chu Mannu was thinking about another thing.
When Gong Zihong asked Pei Yun to make a weapon, she realized that the knife Gong Zihong used to cut off the handle of his ax was made by Pei Yun.
This discovery gave her an idea.
I have seen Gong Zihong's sword before, and it is a precious sword.
If I could have a weapon of the same quality, it would be even more powerful for me.
When Chu Mannu came to see Pei Yun, the first reason he came was for weapons.
There is a table in the yard with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were entrusted by Gong Zihong to bring from Min County.
If Pei Yun wants to write, he must have pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
However, the person writing today is not Pei Yun, but Qin Qier.
Pei Yunzheng taught Qin Qier how to write step by step.
Pei Yun had said before that he would teach Qin Qi'er to read, so naturally he had to do what he said.
Reading begins with writing.
One is serious about teaching, and the other is serious about learning. Even if the two of them are clinging to each other, they don't even know it.
But even if you know it, maybe your posture will only become more bold.
There has long been no shyness between the two of them, and it is time for the two of them to be alone, so it is reasonable to do whatever they do.
The two people were so absorbed that they did not notice the arrival of outsiders.
The innocent Chu Mannu just ate a lot of dog food. Finally, he got impatient and coughed, interrupting the two people who were forgetful.
"It's so rude, can you please stop treating outsiders as human beings?" Chu Mannu said.
Only then did Pei Yun and Qin Qier stop writing.
"Is something wrong?"
From the expression to the tone, it seems to be saying that it is not because we are rude if we don't treat people as human beings, but you should be the rude person.
Chu Mannu's endurance was quite strong. He simply ignored his expression and tone, came to the table, and looked at the words written on the paper for a while.
It's really not easy to be able to write such words after being taught step by step.
Actually, before that.
She didn't know much about Pei Yun, but she could only see that the entire Nanshan Village was centered on Pei Yun.
Later, after contacting him, he discovered that this person was not actually frightened by his own face.
Then I saw what this man was capable of.
Including words and deeds, as well as the bricks and cement these days, I heard that he can make weapons, and now, he teaches people to write well.
The more he learned about Pei Yun, the less Chu Mannu understood him.
What kind of person is this and why does he appear in a place like Nanshan Village?
I have also inquired about his identity. It is said that he suffers from amnesia and cannot remember past events.
Others say that he fell from the sky.
If you say you want to steal him to become Mrs. Yazhai, you are just saying it casually.
Well, I have to admit that such a man has indeed successfully aroused my interest.
Being able to look at the words in trance proves that Chu Mannu is literate.
It is strange that a woman, who is also a bandit, can read.
After being lost in thought for a while, Chu Mannu said: "Help me build a weapon. You and Gong Zihong said that if time allows, they will consider it. You already have time to teach people to write. How can you not allow time?"
Pei Yun looked at Chu Mannu with a strange expression, and saw that Chu Mannu thought there was something on her face, and then said: "I'm sorry, for me, teaching her to write is the most important thing, as for making weapons
, in my eyes, is the most insignificant thing."
There was nothing artificial about what he said.
You must know that Qin Qi'er is the starting point for everything he is doing in Nanshan Village now.
Therefore, there is nothing more important than being with Qin Qi'er.
