Chapter 166: Fire Rod
Chapter 166: Fire Rod
Not only was the rent for the house where Liao Cheng lived in a fishing village expensive, but the place was also small and shabby.
The people living near the fishing village had a completely different attitude after they settled down. Their family had to work on the farm for the village every day in exchange for two meals a day.
His wife was used to being the mistress of the house and had never done housework before. She almost burned through the kitchen while cooking potatoes. She lost a lot of money and even fainted from the suffocation.
When the village doctor came to see Liao Cheng, he told him a shocking piece of news: the wife's health was severely damaged and she could no longer conceive.
When Liao Cheng heard that Yin Zhen and her son lived in the village ancestral hall in Yeli Village for free, and that the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion and villagers often sent her gifts, he was tempted.
Although there was not enough food during the exile, he took Yin Zhen's rations and verbally sent Yin Zhen back to his family as a concubine. She was no longer a member of his Liao family, so he let Yin Zhen starve.
But Liao Dabao is his son after all. The blood relationship is here. How can he not recognize him as his father? And Yin Zhen, an orphan and a widow, can't count on Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion to help her for the rest of her life. Without him, how can the mother and son live? It's still easy to coax Yin Zhen back by saying a few nice words and being soft.
Lord Liao thought so, so he came to Yeli Village in great spirits.
At this time, in the side yard of the village shrine.
It took some time to make the mung bean cake, and it was already past the usual dinner time, but with everyone's help, the spicy hot pot was freshly baked.
Jiang Lili took out a handkerchief and wiped the weapon outside the package: "You can name it the Fire-burning Pole!"
When Jiang Lili talked about the past, the decadent energy in her body disappeared, and she became more and more like a person. "So you thought about it day and night, and finally designed a weapon that can concentrate the power of gunpowder, and that's it!"
Jiang Lili walked out of the yard without saying anything, and sat down on the stool next to the small table. I said to everyone at the table in a familiar manner: "Let's eat, and show us one of your special skills!"
Mr. Hu opened his eyes and said: Fool! I knew that the decadent old man was a nobody, but I didn't expect him to be so worthless!
Everyone:...
A pile of metal objects were scattered all over the ground, turning into scrap metal. Jiang Lili only had a short iron gun handle left in her hand.
Outside the package was an object made of copper, iron and other metals. It looked like a spear and was about two feet long.
Then I saw the old man Jiang Lili sincerely handing over a thick package with both hands.
Lord Hu pointed outside the yard. The small round table had not been set up yet, and a dozen people sitting at the table were looking at Jiang Lili.
"You devoted your youth to developing this substance. You thought about it when you were in the smelting department. Gunpowder has low power and a small range to attack the enemy, but it is difficult to kill with one blow."
Lord Hu and others quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran out to see what was going on.
Lord Hu, who was serving rice, looked towards the courtyard gate and said, "Who is it? You come so late and disturb my meal."
"Boom boom boom——"
"The guy in your hand is already there. You should watch it when there are few people around. Quiet!"
Although the Xin family father and son could tell what the object was, with our keen sense of smell on the battlefield, we could not determine whether it was a weapon.
Lord Hu picked up the rice bowl and took a slice of marinated beef from the hot pot: "Your dish is getting cold!"
Before the copper ball was shot out, the fire pole in Jiao Qingfan's hand was shattered by the forward force of Jihe.
A woman in her eighties was rolling around in pain at the foot of the wall. She was Liao Xiaobao's adoptive father Yin Zhen. My right palm was not yet bloody.
Lord Hu walked to the door as he spoke, but out of caution, you did not open the door immediately.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What happened? Did Jiang Lili's gun go off accidentally and hit someone?
Many people present were frightened!
"It's you, it's you, County Magistrate!" Jiao Qingfan shouted excitedly, fearing that if he left too late, I would even eat the leftovers.
I heard a loud bang and my fire pole went off!
Lord Hu thought to himself that Jiang Lili really knows how to hurry, so she opened the door quickly and leisurely.
"They think you have no merit or hard work, but you have dinner..."
Jiang Lili raised her hand and slowly knocked on the door of the side yard.
The same was true for Jiao Qingfan who was surrounded by the wall.
Xin Cheng immediately became interested. He actually had a weapon that I hadn't seen before: "Jiang Lili, what weapon is that in your hand? How do I use it? How powerful is it?"
Liao Cheng looked at the woman rolling on the ground in surprise: "Jiao Qing? Why is he there!"
Before I could finish my words, a wailing voice came from the other side of the wall: “Ouch, ouch, your hand!”
I came to the side door of the village shrine carrying a thick bag, and was mesmerized by the fragrance wafting from outside the yard.
"Clatter, crash, crash -"
"Miss Jiang, you came with your pretense, he opened the door, go and definitely let him see the light behind him!"
Lord Hu nodded: "Why, he wants to show it now?"
At that time, the strong smell of spicy hot pot in the air made Jiang Lili couldn't help but sneeze.
The excitement in Lord Hu and Master Liao's hearts was extinguished in an instant. That gun of mine was disposable!
It smells so good. I have never smelled such delicious food in the years I have been on the island!
In the big iron pot, all kinds of meat and vegetable dishes are mixed together, with fiery red peppers and dotted white sesame seeds. It is so delicious and fragrant that just smelling the aroma of peppercorns and chili peppers in the air makes people swallow their saliva.
Jiang Lili stuffed the copper ball filled with gunpowder into the tube of the fire rod. I held the fire rod in my arm, facing the wall, and was about to find a target to aim at.
However, when Jiang Lili opened the mysterious package and took out the thing outside the package, Lord Hu and Master Liao remained calm.
"Ah che-"
Zhao Pinghou and the others were confused. What brought the governor of Dan'er County here? And his attitude was so cold.
Yin Zhen's face turned pale, and she said with difficulty: "You know, when you put your hand on the edge of the wall and were about to flip over, you felt something exploded!"
"Let's talk about it before dinner. You guys are eating now."
Jiang Lili quickly put out the fire-burning pole, took a step forward, and made a bad pose: "It's bad, you only demonstrate it once!"
Jiang Lili touched her head awkwardly, "Even though the fire gun is broken into pieces, it can still be rebuilt. We can still use it if we piece it together."
Jiang Lili lowered her voice and said, "Young lady, those people outside the courtyard are his family members. They are trustworthy, right?"
Teacher Liao: What the hell! Big Fat took the risk to go to the United States to return the goods!
Lord Hu thought that the name was quite domineering and fitting: "Stop talking nonsense. It's such a domineering name. Let me see the actual effect slowly."
Bad guy, you really only demonstrated it once!
