Chapter 30 Preparation
Just as he turned around, Yan Liqiang felt that his back was covered in cold sweat.
There is a wind vent in the corner of the wall. When the wind blows in the wind, the cold sweat on the back will feel a chill, which makes Yan Liqiang involuntarily shudder.
Although he could not see any abnormality in the distance of the past few dozen meters, in fact, he was extremely nervous because he could feel how unkind and fierce the eyes that peeped at him were. He didn't know if the person hiding in the dark would suddenly jump out and give him a fatal blow, or shoot a cold arrow from the cornfield or eucalyptus forest.
If it were in the past, Yan Liqiang would definitely not be able to find someone hiding in the dark and peeping at him, and he could also feel the deep malice in his eyes. However, after practicing the Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Sutra, the feeling of being light on his back was extremely clear. When he was stared at by the eyes, Yan Liqiang's whole body became nervous, and his body consciousness instinctively warned Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang himself didn't know how he walked over calmly.
From childhood to adulthood, I had almost no enemies except the Hong family. Even if I had some conflicts with some teenagers of the same age in the town before, it was a teenager's spirit and nothing. I might not be very likable, but I had never made a deep hatred with anyone. At most, it was just a little popular. Therefore, except for the Hong family, it was impossible for anyone else to chase him from Qinghe County to Huanglong County.
The person who just hid outside was not from the Hong family, because everyone in the Hong family knew that no one in the entire Hong family could have such a strong aura and give him such a dangerous feeling. Therefore, the person who just hid outside was the thug... or even the killer hired by the Hong family...
People have many ways to die, and for many killers, they have many ways to kill you, and even if they don’t let people see that you were killed. Ordinary teenagers like themselves often die after death. Without strong evidence, the official will not pay attention to this kind of thing.
It was not that I had come to Liuhe Town without any knowledge. I boarded the boat at the Qinghe County Wharf and got off the boat at the Huanglong County Wharf. Many people saw it. If the Hong family was determined to look for it, it would not be difficult.
What Yan Liqiang didn't expect was that he had just left Liuhe Town for half a month and the people who worked for the Hong family came after him.
The crisis of survival made Yan Liqiang almost breathless. He pinched his fist tightly, felt the power on his fist, and then touched the pack of saltpeter that had been in his arms. He felt a little calmer. After taking a deep breath, he walked towards Qian Su's yard.
...
Just like Yan Liqiang guessed, Qian Su was indeed waiting for him in his yard, and his face was unhappy.
Just as he saw Yan Liqiang walking in, Qian Su rushed over, first looked Yan Liqiang from head to toe with a strange look, and then asked bluntly, "The Lu family sent someone to say that you are a guest in the Lu family. When did your father get in touch with the Lu family? Why didn't you tell me, since you are going to the Lu family today, why didn't you tell me when you left the craftsmanship camp?"
Yan Liqiang knew that the Lu family would not say things too much, so that Qian Su misunderstood. Then he told the story of the Lu family today, and except for the details of him buying saltpeter, he did not hide anything else.
Sure enough, as soon as Yan Liqiang finished his passing, Qian Su's unhappy expression disappeared instantly, and instead he was confused. Especially after hearing that Yan Liqiang drowned the Lu family for six or seven hours and saved the child who was helpless, Qian Su's face was so wonderful, with all kinds of expressions coming, which was comparable to the face-changing skills of Sichuan opera.
"You didn't lie to me?"
Yan Liqiang opened the box in front of Qian Su and asked Qian Su to look at the gold bars inside, "This was given to me by the old man of the Lu family. Just now, a manager of the Lu family brought me personally in Mr. Lu's car. Uncle Qian, do you think I'm lying to you?"
He stared at the real money and silver, Qian Su had nothing to say and was choked. After more than ten seconds, Qian Su's expression changed on his face. Then he looked at Yan Liqiang with a toothache and a look of seeing a monkey popping out of the stone, "Moxibustion on the belly button really works?"
Yan Liqiang spread his hands helplessly, "I had no idea before I went there. After all, saving people is probably a matter of gods taking action, and there is no guarantee that they can be saved every time. Fortunately, this time it was successful, and at least one person's life was saved!"
"Is this method really someone told you in your dreams when you were dreaming?"
"Uncle Qian, I almost never left Qinghe County when I grew up so old. This method has never appeared before. Apart from dreaming, can I still think of it with a pat on my head..." Yan Liqiang looked at Qian Su with a innocent look. The memories and experiences of his previous life were really like dreams. He said that these experiences and knowledge were achieved through dreams, and it was probably not a problem even with the most advanced lie detectors.
"Strange, strange..." Qian Su walked around Yan Liqiang twice, but could only accept Yan Liqiang's explanation, "The Lu family gave you a thousand taels of gold, why do you only have half of it? The half you don't want is five hundred taels of gold?"
"Does Uncle Qian feel that the favor the Lu family owes me is not worth 500 taels of gold?" Yan Liqiang asked back.
"I really don't know how Yan Dechang could give birth to a son like you!" Qian Su sighed and finally stopped talking, "If you don't worry about me, just put the gold here and I'll keep it for you!"
Yan Liqiang smiled, "What's wrong with me? Even if you don't say it, I'm just trying to hand over the gold to you for safekeeping. My yard is not very convenient. If you need it, just spend it and treat it as my filial piety to you!"
Qian Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, covered the box, pondered for a moment, and said to Yan Liqiang, "You have done this in the Lu family today. It will probably take less than two days for the whole Huanglong County to know your name. If you want to have less trouble, you'd better be in the camp these days and don't go out at will! By the way, I'll send you two pots of arrows. If you're fine these days, you can practice archery in the craftsman camp. If you're done, this archery is very good, it's amazing..."
"I'm listening to Uncle Qian, I won't go out these days!" Yan Liqiang said obediently.
"Well, you've been having trouble today, go back early to rest!"
"Uncle Qian, you should rest early, too!"
...
After explaining to Qian Su, he left the box of gold with Qian Su, and Yan Liqiang returned to his yard empty-handed.
The target of that horned python bow is too big. Even if the horned python bow is valuable, no one can take it away in his yard. But these golds are different. They can be taken away by just one put on their body. The experience of the previous life told Yan Liqiang not to test human nature, and not to force everyone to be Lei Feng. He remembered that a data he saw in his previous life was that more than 20% of murders occurred between acquaintances and friends.
Human nature often cannot stand the test. Human nature has a good side, it is nature, human nature has an evil side, it is nature, human nature has a drifting side, it is habit. Most people's human nature is mixed together. The words and words created by Chinese ancestors have long explained human nature thoroughly. Qian Su manages the craftsmanship camp, and the money and accounts in the camp must be exchanged through his hands. There is a secret cabinet in his room, that is, the safe holds these things, and it is safe to put his own money in his place.
...
There was a little more thing when he left the yard with Yan Liqiang. It was two pots of arrows, which were placed on a pile of ash poles under the eaves of the yard. Yan Liqiang saw it as soon as he came back.
There were thirty-six arrows in each pot. Yan Liqiang looked at it and took the two arrows upstairs, placed them in his bedroom, and placed them next to the corner python bow.
Then, Yan Liqiang took out the bag of saltpeter he bought today from his arms and put it in the room next to him.
In a room next to it, Yan Liqiang used the name of studying physical properties to get a lot of things, tools and raw materials from various yards, including iron ore, various wood paint, copper blocks, ponytails, beef tendons, silk threads, cotton paper, lime and other things. Of course, these things also include sulfur and charcoal, which are the raw materials in the craftsmanship camp.
In addition to these things, there are also some tools, stone mortars, carving knives, rod scales, files, etc.
Yan Liqiang brought these things from various yards as playthings. No one took them seriously. He thought Yan Liqiang's young character was just used to play with them when he was bored, and he didn't care.
Open the window of the room, the moonlight shines in, the room is bright, and the visibility is enough to make people do a lot of things in the room.
Thinking of the crisis he had just encountered at the entrance of the craftsmanship camp, Yan Liqiang took a deep breath and after entering the room, he began to prepare gunpowder.
He has prepared charcoal powder and sulfur powder these days, and the only thing he lacks now is saltpeter.
Put the saltpeter you bought into a stone mortar, grind it into powder, pour it out, put it in, and then start weighing it.
The ingredients of black gunpowder are sulfide, dinitro, and three charcoal. The specific ratio is 2 to 15 to 3 and then mixed. As long as there are raw materials, it is not difficult to make gunpowder than mixing a plate of cold dishes.
Without much effort, Yan Liqiang made half a pound of black gunpowder, and then rolled the black gunpowder into a line of fuses with cotton paper.
The yard is not allowed to be lit, so Yan Liqiang did not try it in the yard. And it is dark now. If these black gunpowder is really successful, the noise will be even greater. Therefore, it is best to try it on the mountain tomorrow.
After making the black gunpowder, Yan Liqiang suppressed his excitement and went to bed after practicing Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Meridian...
