The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Seeing Li Zhitao and Chui Shuijiao being beaten, the others were not surprised even though they were watching the fun.

The people who have been repaired by Zhao Zhongyi are like the crucian carp crossing the river, who can they count as senior.

The two of them struggled to get up, and when they looked at Zhao Zhongyi again, they looked a bit flinching.

They had never seen this kind of trick before, and it was extremely efficient if it was straightforward.

Look around, there are ruthless people here that you can’t afford to offend!

Li Zhitao saw Zhao Zhongyi's face clearly and remembered that Zhao Chuanxin called him "brother" yesterday.

Who is Zhao Chuanxian?

Opening your mouth makes you doubt the master of life. If he can treat a person politely, this person is very impressive.

He quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I was wrong."

After saying that, he went to help the water pony dejectedly.

Zhao Zhongyi picked up the thorns on the ground: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. The Qing Dynasty is corrupt, but it cannot represent China. As a son and daughter of China, you must never say such irresponsible words in the future. Even if you have this idea, Qian Qian Don’t tell it in front of me.”

With great ability comes great responsibility. Now that he has reached this position, he cannot allow Zhao Zhongyi to live for his family as he did before.

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

After Zhao Zhongyi left, Zhang Daquan, who had been watching the whole show, stepped forward again with an honest face: "You two tidy up, we are about to start the next training."

Chui Shuiju touched his sore chest: "Captain Zhang, who is that person? Such sharp skills!"

"He is the battalion commander of the insurance team, Zhao Zhongyi. His fists and kicks are invincible at least in Lugang Town. If he picked up a big gun, both of us would probably be dead. At the beginning, the salary transfer and him were still precious, and the three of them Carrying swords, guns and cold weapons, he wiped out a group of gangsters who were armed with live ammunition. Zhongyi used a big gun and killed three people in the blink of an eye."

Is there such a thing in the past?

No wonder Zhao Sheng is lawless. When he doesn't have a gun, he dares to fight with someone who has a gun. If he has a gun, he would even dare to poke a hole.

Next is cold weapon training, focusing on swords and axes.

Li Zhitao held the bayonet and kept poking at the vital points marked on the straw man's body.

The right liver and left spleen under the breasts, the pit of the heart and the diaphragm, the heart and carotid arteries, the upper, middle and lower abdomen, the large tendons of the wrist and ankle joints... If you don't want to prick, you will pick. If you don't play with the weak, you will either die or lose your fighting ability.

Zhang Daquan gave instructions from the side and said: "If you can't let the enemy die, then you have to die. There is no chance of fighting for 300 rounds. Unless you can have unlimited firepower of guns and ammunition like passing the salary."

Chuishuiju was stunned: "Why does Zhao Sheng have unlimited firepower?"

Zhang Daquan said matter-of-factly: "He is a mage and knows magic. Can you do the same?"

"Ah this..."

The hands of the two of them were swollen and numb after practicing, and they almost lost consciousness.

After being taught a lesson, I didn't dare to complain anymore.

Other people's scarecrows only prick deeper and deeper into their vital points. But their scarecrow is riddled with holes. This is the gap.

The insurance team also conducted actual combat training. Each of the two men stabbed each other with a black, flaccid knife.

Whoever stabs first scores.

When Chuishuiju was taking a break and drinking water, he asked: "Captain Zhang, why is the stuff they use soft?"

"That's called a rubber knife. It's an industrial product shaped by a machine. It's naturally soft. I brought it back from abroad through salary transfer, but I don't really understand it."

Liu Yonghe was also participating in the sparring. He stabbed five people in a row, and only on the sixth day did he lose due to exhaustion.

Regardless of just a simple thrust, controlling the strength, speed, and timing requires a lot of physical and mental effort.

He wiped his sweat and walked towards this side: "Daqun, who are these two?"

A brief introduction was given.

Liu Yonghe heard that these two people, like him, did not belong to Lugang Town, but they felt a little cordial and chatted with them for a few words.

Fuki Shuijoma complimented: "Your bayonet skills are very good, even those people on Hong Kong Island can't beat you."

"Haha, am I considered powerful?" Liu Yonghe laughed: "Here, there are at least seven or eight people who are better than me in bayonet skills. The most powerful one is Gao Li, who is invincible with a bayonet, not even Battalion Commander Zhao. However, in terms of marksmanship, I can rank third!”

Li Zhitao asked in surprise: "Who are the other two?"

"The first is the fire-passing! After three hundred meters, a person looks as big as a fist. But the fire-passing can hit a target 600 meters away. I suspect there is a better gun that can hit farther! The second is It’s the one with squinting eyes, his name is Er Fatty. Although his eyes are small, he has divine light and the ability to make a quick move!"

After all, there are tigers hidden in the mountains, and the sea must accept a trickle.

Li Zhitao thought about the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Xiaolugang Town. Compared with them, the two of them felt very small.

During the live-fire training in the afternoon, the two became addicted to guns.

The Lugang Town Insurance Team was able to practice shooting regardless of the cost of ammunition, which surprised the two of them.

This isn’t bullets, it’s money!

The next obstacle shooting training was an eye-opener for the two of them.

Er Feizi went into battle in person.

When the call to start was not started, Er Fatzi remained as still as a mountain.

It is as motionless as a mountain, aggressive as fire, slow as a forest, and as fast as the wind.

Bang bang bang...

After shooting a round, the magazine is immediately replaced, which is dizzyingly fast.

Bang bang bang...

Long guns and short cannons, no matter what they are used for, the guns hit the target!

Finally, he threw away the gun, picked up the bayonet and killed the last straw man, calling it a day!

The timekeeper came forward with a pocket watch: "The company commander's skills have improved again, one second faster than before!"

Zhang Daquan explained to the two of them: "When the speed reaches the extreme, every second of progress is as difficult as reaching the sky. On the battlefield, seconds are raced against each other. If you are even half a beat slower, you will die! Obstacle shooting, Gao Li and Er Feizi are the same. You must learn There’s still a lot to do! There’s winter skiing training and strength training in the afternoon, and I’ll have a full meal at noon.”

No one dared to brag here, so he asked weakly: "Captain Zhang, what are you good at?"

Zhang Daquan scratched his head honestly: "I'm not good at anything, but I can reach the standard at everything."

"..."

…

When Zhao Chuanxin got up today, he was invited to kill a pig.

In the past, New Year pigs were killed just before the Chinese New Year. Now that life is getting better, people start killing them in winter.

Because the meat can be frozen when the weather gets cold, you can eat it from now until next spring.

The others were busy trying to hold down the pig, but the pig screamed like a slaughtered pig.

Zhao Chuanxin was fussing next to him: "Hey, you press your head. Zhang Laosi, you press your buttocks. Wang Qing, why are you pulling a pig's leg? You..."

Anyway, it’s all talk and no action.

Finally, someone got angry and said, "Get out of the way of everyone who comes. Pass on your ability and let him come."

Zhao Chuanxin was dumbfounded: "Don't worry, I'm weak and can't hold him down."

"You are causing trouble here. I should have known better that I wouldn't have called you!"

"Look, are you talking human language? At least I have merit in commanding, so there is no problem in dividing half of the harem!"

"How about sharing the rear? I won't even give you a pig tail stick!"

Zhao Chuanxin took a look and said, "You don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes if you don't show his hands."

He exposed his arms and rolled up his sleeves: "Press it, let you see the style of this knife of mine, Lao Zhao!"

As he said that, he took out the elf carving knife and touched it lightly on the pig's forehead.

The pig that was struggling and squealing suddenly straightened its little eyes.

Bang, fall to the ground!

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the stunned people and said, "What are you doing standing still? Quickly stab your heart and bleed it out. Stop covering your chest!"

If you bleed at this time, it will still come out. After a while, the blood will disperse and solidify.

Zhao Chuanxin, on the other hand, put away his sword and stood aside, his face full of the loneliness of a master!

The next step is to shave the pig hair.

Boil water in a large pot and kettle, then take it out and pour it on the pigs.

Once the water is boiled, the pig hair will be easily scraped off.

Zhao Chuanxin participated in this kind of activity when he was a child, but rarely did it when he grew up.

A group of people are breathing white air in the ice and snow. The adults are working and the children are causing trouble. It is most lively.

When someone saw Zhao Chuanxin idle, he said, "Zhuan Xin, go and poke the fat in the gut."

When Zhao Chuanxin saw the fat sausage hanging with suet, he groaned: "Whoever you like can go, I won't do this."

A snot-nosed kid stood up, pinched his waist and shouted, "I can do this."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately pulled his head and pushed him aside: "Obviously, you can't do this!"

This kind of work needs to be handled by meticulous people.

A diligent person took over the job, and Zhao Chuanxin had a bag of coarse salt in his hand: "This bag of salt belt, use this to wash it clean."

Salt is always indispensable. In order to raise funds, the Qing government was ready to nationalize the salt industry.

Where ordinary people are willing to waste salt, that person will say: "Salt is too extravagant."

Some people eat fat intestines for the taste.

Ouch...

Some people eat fat intestines for the taste. For example, Zhao Chuanxin has to wash it to the point where it can be taken to Japan to make sashimi... In short, it must be washed clean.

The man had no choice but to take the salt and run to wash the fat intestines.

But when he came back, Zhao Chuanxian found that the bag of salt was not used much.

There was something stuck on the salt bag, but the man kindly handed it back to Zhao Chuanxin.

"No, no, you can take it home and make pickles. I'm usually a light-mouthed person and rarely eat salt."

The man happily put away the salt bag and saved another household expense. It was really good.

But Zhao Chuanxin made up his mind and stopped eating fat sausage.

The big bones are put into the pot, followed by the sauerkraut.

Zhao Chuanxin was busy helping out in the kitchen.

When everything was done, he was the first to get on the kang, pour the garlic sauce and wait for the banquet to begin.

In the past, Zhao Chuanxin really didn't even dare to kill a chicken. Fortunately, he has practiced against the powerful ones and now he is much more courageous.

Pork stewed with sauerkraut is full of aroma and steaming with heat.

If you get burned on the kang, it's because the stove fire is too hot.

When Mr. Zhang turned forty in his fourth year, he also took off his shoes and got on the kang. He took out his wine jug and said to Zhao Chuanxin, "Man, I'll give you a full cup."

Zhao Chuanxin quickly stopped him: "No, I can't drink."

"What's going on?"

"The amount is too big, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it!"

"..."

Looking at his tall figure, Zhang Laosi was a little unsure.

What if this kid can really drink?

The key to that is the enigmatic expression on his face, which makes people feel unsure.

"Forget it." Zhang Laosi poured himself a cup. "Pass the salary, you are capable. Fourth brother has something to ask you."

"You say it, you say it."

"Our buildings in Lugang Town are all taken care of by that old boy Zhu Jianye. You know, I also lead people to work. Do you have any connections?"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up a leg bone from the big basin that had just been brought up.

Others like to eat fat meat, but he likes to chew bones.

After dipping in the garlic sauce, he said: "Are you willing to go out? After the New Year, there will be some work outside that requires a lot of manpower. You can follow me then, but you have to sign a confidentiality agreement for these tasks."

"What is a confidentiality agreement?"

"It's just a signature and a pledge. The work must be kept secret and cannot be known to others. Otherwise, Lugang Town will hold you accountable, one by one, for you and your workers."

"How long...will this be kept secret? I keep my mouth shut, and my workers can't keep it safe. Also, what's the responsibility of holding someone accountable?"

"It can take as little as one year, as long as three years. You cannot disclose it to anyone, including your wife and children. If it is leaked, you will be fined several thousand yuan at most and hundreds of yuan at least, and you will be imprisoned in Lugang. A minimum sentence of one year in the town jail.”

Zhang Laosi was shocked when he heard that he was fined several thousand yuan.

"That much money?"

Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Chuanxin gnawed on the bone and said, "The more you punish, the more you earn. Once the work is done, you will have a family."

Zhang Laosi looked a little excited. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "How much can you earn? You know exactly."

"It's hard to say, how many workers do you have?"

"More than thirty."

"Then I'll probably earn a lot a month. I'll give you a living package. I estimate the profit will be no less than 1,000 yuan a month."

"What?"

Zhang Laosi stood up suddenly.

I really couldn't believe my ears.

This is an astronomical figure.

"Hey, why are you so excited? Sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."

Zhang Laosi suppressed his excitement and asked with a flushed face: "Is this job only for me?"

"You haven't even drank yet, so why are you floating?" Zhao Chuanxin put down his smooth legs and bones: "Old Zhu also has a share, and you don't have enough people. I give priority to our own people in Lugang Town. It's really We have to look outside because we don’t have enough manpower. So, don’t randomly stuff people in when the time comes. You are the only one who will leak the news!”

"Okay, okay, with this money, I can sew my mouth shut and work!"

"Eat first, and I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait."

During the dinner, Zhang Laosi kept toasting to Zhao Chuanxin.

He didn't mind if Zhao Chuanxin offered tea instead of wine.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhang Laosi picked up a pig knuckle and said, "Pass on the salary, take it home and eat it."

He happily took it and Zhao Chuanxin strolled home.

When passing by the police station, Zhao Zhongyi happened to go out.

He said: "Password, Baogui and Jiahui will be back tomorrow."

"Okay, we'll have a year-end meeting the day after tomorrow."

"So urgent? There's still some time before the end of the year, right?"

"Well, just wait for them to come back. There are some things that need to be done in advance."

Carrying the pork knuckle home.

At the gate, I happened to meet Miao Cuihua and Naoko Yuxi who had also just returned.

The two of them were carrying a bunch of things in large and small packages.

Zhao Chuanxin had no intention of helping: "Look, I'll bring back a pork knuckle, and we can stew it for dinner tonight."

Naoko Yuxiang was handed over to Miao Cuihua by Zhao Chuanxin to teach her how to dress.

I went shopping this morning.

After delivering the things to Naoko Yuxiang's room, Miao Cuihua walked to the living room, brushed her hair from her forehead, and fanned her cheeks with her hands: "It's so hot."

She was wearing a light-colored T-shirt with a large round neck, and the hem was tucked into her pants. She bent down slightly to reveal a few unfathomable career lines.

Light-colored tight-fitting clothes will make your body look bigger.

Zhao Chuanxin: "Oh, then open the window, it's just in time to let out cigarettes."

Recently, he has become more addicted to smoking. Like everyone else, he struggles to quit smoking every day.

Always tell yourself: it’s not too late to quit after smoking this one.

I thought the same thing about the next one.

"..." Miao Cuihua walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened a gap. Looking at the frozen lake in the distance, he turned around and said with a smile: "I heard from Guangzong that a dragon boat race will be held in the lake during the Dragon Boat Festival next year."

Zhao Chuanxin said without raising his head: "Really? It's really good."

Miao Cuihua came to his side again and said casually: "How about we also participate? It is said that there is a mixed competition between men and women in order to improve the status of women in Lugang Town."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin got excited when he said this. "Half male and half female? Who is your partner? I will have to choose carefully when the time comes. I won't accept the ones that don't look good."

"..."

Miao Cuihua took a deep breath, her eyes were so wet that she could almost drip with water: "Actually, my boat is famous for being fast."

As she spoke, she moved forward again and puffed out her chest.

Zhao Chuanxin flexed his biceps, patted them hard, and made a banging sound: "Do you think these muscles are in vain? I bet ten cents that your team will definitely not be able to beat my team. !”

Miao Cuihua turned around and left after hearing this.

Very angry, you know?

If you wait for me, I don’t believe that I can’t cure you!

After Miao Cuihua left, her faint fragrance was still in the air.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, took out his diary, crossed his legs, and started the middle-aged and elderly leisure mode.

[After several rests, we finally arrived at the entrance of the Styx Cave. 】

[Contrary to its eerie name, this entrance is unremarkable, and the air it emits is not cold, but warm and comfortable. 】

[The entrance to the cave is very small, and a person can straighten up and enter, but not the war damage. 】

[I left him a mountain of food and asked him to wait outside. 】

[I took the boy and his sister into the cave entrance together. 】

[We entered the tunnel, and the moss on the two walls emitted a glowing light, illuminating the road ahead. 】

[Here, this moss is everywhere, making the environment appear deeper. 】

[The brother and sister were a little curious about this place, but also fearful, and they stayed close to me. 】

[Soon, we descended deep underground. 】

[There are three forks in the road ahead, and I need to make a choice. 】

[Left: The entrance is spacious and three people high.

Middle: The cave is low, so you need to walk forward with your waist down.

Right: There is a faint sound of running water, and the hole is just big enough for humans to enter. 】

[So, which path should I choose? 】

Will there be huge dangerous creatures in the tall cave?

Zhao Chuanxin felt claustrophobic just thinking about the low cave.

Besides, if you encounter danger, it would be difficult to turn around and escape in such a short cave.

He had already lost a year of his lifespan before, so Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to take risks here.

Left and right, he finally chose the right side:

[I entered from the cave on the right. 】

[We didn’t go far when we saw an underground river flowing slowly from the side of the passage. 】

[The river overflowed the channel. We stepped on it and found that it was only up to our ankles, so we stepped on it with confidence and passed. 】

[Within ten minutes of walking, we encountered a group of Styx elves. 】

[The Styx Elf discovered us, bared its sharp teeth at us, and rushed over with a sharp blade in hand without fear of death. 】

[Before using the weapon, I suddenly thought of something. 】

[I took out the Shocking Thorn and squeezed it. 】

[These little creatures, fearless of death and extremely ferocious, showed fear and fled in all directions for the first time. 】

[The little boy said excitedly: Brave, they are also afraid of the Jingshen thorn, but they didn’t expect it to go so well. 】

[I also felt lucky, holding the Jingshen thorn while walking to clear the way. At the same time, he is thinking about bringing the Jingshen thorn to the weird people for research, which may be able to crack the method of dealing with the remaining biological remnants and change the mode of war. 】

[All the Styx elves I encountered were scared away by my Jingshen thorn. 】

[Just when we were feeling proud, rows of ripples appeared on the water. 】

[In the distance, there is a group of big furry bugs, running silently on the water with long legs, coming towards the three of us menacingly. 】

[Just looking at their ferocious appearance and two spike-like fangs makes people feel chilly in their hearts. 】

[I stabilized my mind and took out the Jingshen Thorn, preparing to scare them away. 】

[However, after I pinched the Jingshen thorn, these bugs did not scare away, but rushed faster. 】

[I was horrified and quickly shot out a bolt of arrow-shaped lightning. 】
