Everyone turned to look over, and Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but be startled. It was the ancestor of the village who came.
Chen Xiaobei hurriedly stepped forward, "Ancestor, why are you here?"
The ancestor hit the ground with his crutch, looked at Chen Xiaobei and said seriously, "It is unlucky to kill people in the village. You can't do it like this. Do you want to kill them? Let them go outside the village."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoyi clasped his fists at his ancestor, then clasped his fists at Chen Xiaobei, and said with a hint of apology.
"It's all Xiaoyi's lack of consideration. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he called for people to untie Da Laohei and dragged him out of the village.
Seeing them walking away, the ancestor shook his head and said tactfully to Chen Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, you are leading everyone to make money, and everyone is very motivated. This is a good thing. I should say a few words, and so should I."
Tell you."
"We don't know the origins of these people from the village. They arrest someone today and kill someone tomorrow. How can ordinary people like us endure these days of fighting and killing."
Chen Xiaobei understood what his ancestor meant and said quickly, "Ancestor, you are right, they are only staying here temporarily and will leave soon."
"That's good, that's good. Living with so many outsiders is not a good thing after all."
After saying that, the ancestor turned and left.
At this time, Chen Ermao's wailing sounded outside the village again, and Chen Xiaobei knew that this time Big Laohei was completely saying goodbye.
But Chen Xiaobei didn't cry. Big Lao Hei was doing his own evil. Such people are not worthy of pity. The real pity is for those minions on the mountain who were forced to go up the mountain just to make a living. In the end, because of the village leader's
Greed, and lost one's life in vain.
After returning home, Chen Xiaobei started to get busy. He bought so much saltpeter powder and had to make gunpowder as soon as possible.
Seeing him busy here, Cui Hongyu suddenly said, "Husband, why don't you wait until night to do this? Let's go fishing first."
Chen Xiaobei felt a little strange. Cui Hongyu had never interfered with his work in the past.
"It's enough to catch fish with them. Our fish pond is almost full of fish now, so there's no need for us to go there."
Cui Hongyu smiled and stepped forward to hold his hand, "Then let's go to the mountain to pick apples. There aren't many apples left."
He didn't know how serious it was, but Chen Xiaobei accepted Cui Hongyu's suggestion, called a group of village protection team members, and followed him into the mountains to pick apples.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei leave, Cui Hongyu showed a knowing smile, and then went to the outside of the village. The green leafy vegetables will be harvested in the next two days, and they need to be watered again.
By the time Chen Xiaobei led the people down from the mountain, it was already dark. The dinner was still sumptuous, including a fish and two vegetables. The vegetables were all fried with fatty meat, and the smell was tangy.
Huang Ying was still very attentive, helping Chen Xiaobei with rice and soup.
Cui Hongyu was overjoyed when she saw this scene, with a smile on her face from time to time.
Chen Xiaobei was unaware of this, but Shen Ziyan saw the clue and frowned slightly.
After dinner, Huang Ying couldn't wait to speak again, "Brother Xiaobei, let's start making fried rice!"
Okay, if you want to call it fried fire, then call it fried fire.
Chen Xiaobei nodded and stood up, "Okay, then come with me."
Chen Xiaobei brought Huang Ying into the house and gave him monosulfide, dinitrate and charcoal.
I made a little bit of it according to the original proportions.
Then he gently pinched a handful and put it on the oil lamp.
This action startled Huang Ying, and she covered her eyes with a cry.
Chen Xiaobei was quite surprised that the carefree Huang Ying suddenly acted like a little woman, but it also showed that Huang Ying was still a girl deep down in her heart.
Gunpowder fell on the flames, making a crackling sound. Then, there was the familiar smell.
good.
Chen Xiaobei wrapped some more paper, but this time he didn't dare to stay in the house and had to go outside.
When he came to the river, he lit a pile of firewood with a fire stick, and threw the small bag of gunpowder into it.
Huff, huff. There was a slight sound, the fire was dazzling, and a puff of white smoke rose.
Seeing the two people returning happily, Shen Ziyan's brows furrowed even more.
"Hui Ying, it's time for us to go back."
Huang Ying shook her head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, Brother Xiaobei and I will make some more firecrackers."
Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized something. He stopped and turned to Huang Ying and said, "It's getting late. You go back and rest. I'll write down the ratio of this fire explosion for you later!"
"Okay, then there's Brother Lao Xiaobei." Huang Ying bowed respectfully to Chen Xiaobei, and then followed Shen Ziyan out of the yard.
Not far away, Shen Ziyan said in a deep voice, "Huang Ying, what's happened to you these past two days? Your soul has been seduced by Chen Xiaobei, and that's Sister Hongyu's man."
Huang Ying looked surprised, "It's not Zi Yan, sister, I just want to learn how to explode fire from him, you know? My master has studied a lot of books, and his biggest wish is to make this. He said that with this, martial arts will be better Don’t be afraid of tall people.”
Shen Ziyan looked at her and couldn't help laughing, "You are just talking nonsense, what's so scary about this thing?"
Huang Ying nodded, "Yeah, I didn't see anything scary, but that's what the master said, so when I saw Chen Xiaobei could make fried fire, I..."
"Okay, I believe you. You must not have any affection for him. Chen Xiaobei is not worthy of you. Besides, Sister Hongyu has been wronged enough by marrying him. How can you do it again? Small?"
Huang Ying was so angry that she stamped her foot, "Oh, sister Ziyan, where did you go? I don't have this idea. I just want to learn his recipe."
At this time, Cui Hongyu also began to lobby Chen Xiaobei in the yard, "Husband, I see that Sister Huang Ying's attitude towards you has changed quite a lot in the past few days. My sister, except for her bad temper, everything else is fine..."
Chen Xiaobei understood what Cui Hongyu meant in an instant. No wonder he stopped himself from preparing gunpowder in the afternoon. It turned out to be this.
This is really speechless. The new daughter-in-law who has just married has started making arrangements to get a second wife for her man.
And she also wants to marry her good sister. How is this possible?
Having said that, even if I think about it, others won't look down on us.
So let’s work on it safely.
Chen Xiaobei still carefully wetted the gunpowder and began to roll it.
It's just that this time Chen Xiaobei made it thicker. It's almost as thick as Chen Qiaoer's arm.
According to his expectation, if it is so thick, it should be visible from the bottom of the mountain if it is set off in the mountain temple.
Early the next morning, Chen Xiaobei still drove the donkey cart to the county town to deliver apples.
Entering the county town, we turned around and went straight to the market. This time, we gave it to Lao Wu first.
