Chapter 174 A Piece of Bone? 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
Chapter 174 A piece of...bone? 【Ask for monthly ticket】
At the gate of the backyard of the B&B, Mu Guiying saw Li Yu approaching and hurriedly pointed to the capped warehouse and asked:
"Sir, has this house been built yet? It's so fast!"
I remember that the construction just started a few days ago, and now it has been completed. Isn’t it too fast?
Diao Chan has been following the construction progress for the past two days and said to Mu Guiying:
"It's just capped now. The floor of the warehouse has not been hardened yet, and the water and electricity have not been laid. It will probably take a few days to be completed...Sister Guiying, everyone is here to celebrate the New Year with my husband on New Year's Eve. How about you come too? Let's set off fireworks together." Busy and lively.”
"Really? Then I'll come too!"
This crazy village owner saw a video of fireworks and firecrackers last time, and then he became obsessed with it... Then he will feel the power of Gatling first, swish, swish, swish, it will definitely be fun.
Li Yu saw that the two girls were gradually straying from the topic, and quickly asked about the serious matter:
"Have there been any changes in your world recently?"
The empress wants to give a gift, which means that the soil she took away last time is effective. In other words, the secret of heaven has been disturbed, and it stands to reason that there should be some special phenomenon.
Mu Guiying’s excitement still lies in the fireworks:
"Nothing unusual, just a few muffled thunders and a rain... Sir, please remember to buy more fireworks and firecrackers. I will pay for it. There has been some gold in the village recently. I plan to exchange it all for modern supplies."
many?
Have any wealthy people been deceived again?
Li Yu reminded:
"Although artificial gemstones can be sold for money, if they are too much, they will depreciate rapidly. Don't sell too many in a short period of time. You can combine them with those handicrafts."
In fact, Muke Village has accumulated so much gold, silver, jewelry and food that even tens of thousands of people, let alone thousands of people, cannot go hungry.
Mu Guiying said with a smile:
"Those wealthy households know very well that I gave them priceless jewelry that they could obviously rob, so why should they be dissatisfied? Some even want to exchange for more."
Okay, I forgot you were a bandit.
Since you want to exchange something, you can't just exchange for gold and silver. Other calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade, porcelain, handicrafts, etc. can also be exchanged.
I have to find a way to become a collector later, so that it will be much easier to sell cultural relics.
But for the time being, let’s rely on our gentle and beautiful Professor Zhou. At worst, I’ll let her abuse me a few more times when I play badminton in the future.
In the future, if you have money, you can invest in some processing plants and sell the products from your own factories to the world of books. It should be much safer.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Guiying took out a round box of Dove chocolates from his arms and handed it over:
"Here, the gift Master asked me to give you."
She actually used the Dove chocolate box I gave her as a gift, she was so careless... Li Yu took it in his hand, tested the weight first, and then shook it, feeling like there was a stone inside.
He asked uncertainly:
"Guiying, tell me the truth. When this box is opened, will a golden light fly out and kill my head?"
When Diao Chan heard this, she volunteered:
"Let me come. Even if there is danger, I can ensure that my husband is in good health."
There are so many worlds waiting for Sir to save, but there can be no accidents.
Mu Guiying clicked her tongue and praised:
"I didn't expect that Fairy Xiao Chan was not afraid of death for my husband... Don't worry, there is no danger inside. My master is not a bad guy. She is the mother of the human race. Will she harm her own child?"
But the empress always thought that I was an innate being, not her child... Li Yu regretted pretending to be a god. If he did it again, he would definitely kneel down at the speed of light instead of pretending to be an immortal from ancient times.
Just in case, he wanted to move his position to the living room and open the box on the grounds that it was dark and the light was too dark.
Now that Pangu Ancestor has given his support, let's open the box in front of him, lest his head automatically fly away as soon as the box is opened.
Mu Guiying looked Li Yu up and down:
"No wonder you can live from ancient times to now, you are just cautious enough."
Your Majesty is worried about my head. Ninety percent of it is your fault, so don’t add drama to me... If I hadn’t been unable to beat him, Li Yu would have really wanted to beat the leader of the village, Mu.
The three of them came to the living room. A group of residents who were exchanging Hanfu outfits saw Li Yu coming in with a solemn expression and holding a box of chocolates. They all cheered:
"Is Boss Li going to give us chocolates?"
“The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I don’t know who Boss Li will invite to celebrate the New Year with him.”
"How about it's just me? Anyway, I'll eat all kinds of blue crabs, orchid crabs, groupers, etc. when I go back. It's not as fun as the Chinese New Year in the north. I really like the food in the north!"
"Tch, you like Boss Li, right?"
"Nonsense, no matter who doesn't like it, I like every man."
"Can you guys have a normal conversation and don't lead Brother Dao astray!"
"..."
Li Yu smiled and said:
"If you want to eat chocolate, it's easy. I'll give you two pieces of Ferrero Rocher later."
After saying that, he glanced at Brother Dao again and found that the guy was leaning on the carpet with a contented look on his face, and two female residents were gently stroking his fur.
Since the dog didn't react, it seemed that there was really no danger... Li Yu felt relieved and opened the box.
He originally thought that the holy object given by the empress would be some kind of high-end artifact, but when he opened it, he discovered that it was actually a piece of bone.
The bone is about ten centimeters, about the same size as a finger. It looks crystal clear and heavy. I don't know what kind of material it is made of, but it doesn't look like a real bone.
That's it?
Not to mention artifacts such as dust-proof bead disinfection bowls, even a bottle gourd that often appears in mythological novels will do. The result is just a small piece of bone, which seems to be fake.
What's the use?
Do you hang it at home to ward off evil spirits?
Li Yu glanced at Mu Guiying. The crazy girl also had a puzzled look on her face. She shrugged, picked up the candies on the table and ate them.
Li Yu put the bones back into the box, asked Xiao Ju to take out a few boxes of chocolates from the storage room and distribute them to the residents, and then took the boxes upstairs.
Diao Chan followed beside her, the melon seeds in her little head spinning rapidly:
"Is your Majesty giving this thing to you for self-defense?"
What can this prevent? When you are beaten, take it out and shout "Mom, help" like you summoned Ultraman?
Not to mention, this neurotic appearance might really scare away the people around you. After all, mentally ill patients are not criminally responsible.
Li Yu shook the box:
"Keep it for now, and let Guiying help me inquire more about it later."
It's not yet certain whether the world of Yang Family's Romance can disrupt Tianji. We have to wait. I guess the empress also had this idea. Otherwise, giving the artifact but not the instructions would be a bit inconsistent with the old mother's character.
When he came to the study, Li Yu put the box in the top cabinet and suppressed it with several books, for fear that the bone would resurrect and wander out in the middle of the night.
As soon as they were put away, Mu Guiying walked in holding several Ferrero Roches:
"This chocolate is so delicious. The nuts inside are so fragrant. It's even more delicious than that Dove... Sir, can you prepare a few more boxes? My master is in danger of turning into a god if he doesn't eat chocolate..."
Yes, yes, I know, I know... Li Yu waved his hand at her:
"Just tell me if you want to eat. It's not like I won't buy it for you. Why do you always use the excuse of being a queen to trick me into eating and drinking?"
Village leader Mu smiled sheepishly:
"Professional habits...I will change them in the future. They are all generals and marshals, and I am the only one who bears the name of a bandit. This is not good."
It's true that Canglin knows enough about etiquette. The materials in Muke Village are getting richer and richer, and the female bandits have begun to pay attention to it.
Li Yu asked about the bone again:
"Your master didn't say anything?"
"No, she said you will understand everything when you see it, no need to say more."
I understand shit!
Li Yu didn't know what to say for a while. He always felt that the misunderstanding between him and his old mother was getting deeper and deeper.
Just keep the bones for now, as time goes by, Mu Guiying will always be able to pull something out.
"How is the hydropower station doing?"
Li Yu was completely blind to the issue of mythology, and could only focus on what he was good at.
Mu Guiying ate two pieces of chocolate and showed off the crispy steamed bun slices on the table:
"We have blocked the river at the location you mentioned, cleared away the silt, dug down about one meter deep, installed a steel cage, and filled it with concrete."
She kept talking about why concrete was difficult to mix, how laborious it was to tie the steel cages, how the precast pouring of the sluice had to be reworked three times, etc. However, she finally completed the basic part of the hydropower station.
The next step is to wait for solidification before completing the water gates, diversion channels and other projects.
This kind of four- to five-meter-wide micro-hydropower station does not require too complicated processes, and the construction requirements are not too high. However, Li Yu still plans to cache some construction tutorials for Mu Guiying, so that the relevant personnel in Muke Village can seriously learn about modern architecture.
In order to avoid the good Muke Village, the construction aspect is moving closer to Asan's direction.
The aircraft carriers we built kept breaking down, the planes kept falling, and even the infrastructure projects were having problems one after another... Construction requirements must be tightened.
After talking about the hydropower station, Mu Guiying reported on the installation status of transformers and other equipment. People in the village also specially cut down many trees to facilitate the later installation of lines.
Speaking of wires, Li Yu thought it was time to purchase a batch of cables, and by the way, buy some ceramic insulating brackets to connect Muke Village's first production and living lighting line.
With electricity, there is a steady stream of energy.
Go back and buy a second-hand stamping lathe, and update the weapons in Muke Village first to increase the combat effectiveness.
"The coal mine is almost in hand, and there are still one or two officials left to finish it... Each of them is more greedy than the other, so it's no wonder that the Song Dynasty can't do it."
After Mu Guiying finished reporting, she looked embarrassed:
"Now, dozens or even hundreds of people are defecting to the village every day. If this continues, Muke Village will not be able to house even if all the houses are built... The good people are not good enough and insist on becoming bandits. This world has really changed."
It's not that the world has changed, it's that the Song Dynasty is not good enough. Although it is mentioned how prosperous Kaifeng, Tokyo is, these have nothing to do with the people, especially the hardships of farming. They can't even have a full meal.
Now that there is a place where they can eat well, not to mention the bandits' den, even if it is the devil's lair, the people are willing to move there.
After Li Yu finished sighing, he suddenly thought of the issue of education:
"Are there many children going?"
"There are a lot of them. It's noisy. It's like herding sheep all day long."
"Then let's set up a school and put the children's education first. Don't always teach loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Instead, teach more useful things."
Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, society, economics, architecture... You can try to teach knowledge in various subjects. First, learn some superficial foundations, so that everyone can re-understand the world in which they live.
Well, I recently bought some teaching materials for Mu Guiying to transport back, but the specific method of teaching must be decided by the literate people in Muke Village.
This is destined to be a long process, but as long as we persist in the direction of letting everyone live a good life, in two generations, the spiritual outlook of the entire Muke Village will be unprecedentedly improved.
Maybe he can actually push some silly girl to the emperor's throne.
After all, with the materials of modern society and the help of the empress's mechanical deity, Mu Guiying, let alone Mu Guiying, can still become the emperor even if he takes Brother Dao back.
Cough... I feel like the dog will be angry after hearing this. He withdraws and withdraws, but he can't let him notice.
While they were chatting, Diao Chan took a stick of stove candy and started eating it. Mu Guiying next to her also joined one:
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat sweets today?"
"This is stove candy, used to worship the Kitchen God. Everyone must eat it on the Little New Year's Day."
In the simple folk perception, if people live too well, God will punish them.
In order to prevent the Stove Lord from talking nonsense, he blocked his mouth with candy. The Jade Emperor did not know the sufferings of the world, so naturally there was no need to impose divine punishment.
In ancient mythology, not only the Kitchen King, but also the setting of "Water Margin" is that there are too many sins in the world, so there is a setting of 108 demon stars coming to the world to kill people.
They kill people to eliminate sins in the world. From the perspective of gods, it is a typical "I am doing it for your own good".
But it is unknown whether the people who were massacred would think so.
Li Yu said:
"Sacrifice to the stove is also called Xiaonian. Tomorrow we will eat pig meat at noon and make dumplings at the B&B in the afternoon. People celebrate the New Year and we have to celebrate it too. Then we will make more fillings."
You have to have sauerkraut and pork, you have to have fresh meat and lotus root, you have to have three kinds of fresh shrimps. The three fillings should be almost the same. I will add beef and green onion fillings later to make the famous sour soup beef dumplings in the northwest. They are absolutely delicious.
Mu Guiying originally wanted to stay for a while and then go back, but when she heard there were so many delicious foods, she immediately changed her mind:
"Xiaochan Fairy, how about I sleep with you tonight? Suddenly I feel that we have not had a good chat with each other since we have been going back and forth for so long. How about we just sleep together tonight?"
Just as he went upstairs, Mu Guiying heard that there were no vacancies tonight, and quickly offered to live with Diao Chan.
Although it may affect your husband and Fairy Xiaochan's closeness, how can you back down when the food is delicious?
At worst, I can go back and apologize to my husband. It's just for one night, so it shouldn't affect anything.
Diao Chan naturally knew what she was planning:
"Okay, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep after I'm done."
Now the little girl studies at around 11:30 every night and doesn't have much time to chat at all.
Of course, Mu Guiying's goal was not to have a heart-to-heart talk, so she waved her hand angrily:
"It's important for us sisters to communicate with each other. You go about your business, and I also learn some modern knowledge. I heard that there is a software called Douyin where all kinds of weird people gather. The leader of this village also came to watch."
Upon hearing this, Diao Chan quickly handed her the Bluetooth headset in the drawer:
"Remember to put on headphones when watching short videos. Don't affect my study."
"Okay, okay, I promise not to make a sound!"
While the two were chatting, Li Yu sat in front of the computer and carefully searched for information about the Nuwa Empress, but there were no clues in myths, legends or prehistoric novels.
Are you going to ask me to process it into a bone flute?
Li Yu searched for the appearance of the bone flute and found that the length was quite different. The bone given by the empress could at most be processed into a whistle.
But Empress Nuwa didn’t have music-related settings... Li Yu scratched his head, feeling a little at a loss.
No matter, let's put it in the study for now, and we'll talk about it later when we have clues.
That night, Mu Guiying kept her promise and shamelessly squeezed into room 201.
After taking a shower, she deliberately put on Diao Chan's little dinosaur one-piece pajamas. After wearing it for a while, she kept complaining about the inconvenience of going to the toilet, which made the little girl so angry that her mouth was filled with smoke.
The so-called good sisters are just another form of robbery... Diao Chan saw through the essence of friendship and was not in the mood to study. She simply washed up and played with her mobile phone on the bed with Mu Guiying.
The next morning, Li Yu looked at Diao Chan with dark circles under her eyes and yawning again and again, and asked with concern:
"Didn't you sleep well?"
"Don't mention it. Sister Guiying was not a good sleeper. She kicked off the quilt all the time at first, and then took the quilt away. As a result, I had to take out another quilt and make do with it on the sofa all night."
Is this how you two good sisters sleep over each other?
Seeing that it was still early, Li Yu said to Diao Chan:
"If you feel sleepy, go to my room and relax for a while. I've just changed the sheets and quilts and am planning to take them to the laundry room downstairs to wash them."
Diao Chan was extremely grateful:
"Thank you sir, I really need to catch up on my sleep."
In the past, B&Bs had no business and there were many vacant rooms. I didn’t expect that now I can’t even accommodate my own people, and I have to fight guerrillas.
Why don't we go back and buy a camp bed for Diao Chan's room, so that Mu Guiying won't delay my good student anymore... Li Yu made up his mind, told Diao Chan the password to the room, and ran off.
Mu Guiying, who had been waiting for him to come back and watched short videos most of the night, woke up late.
After she got dressed and got up, she found that Diao Chan was not there, so she didn't care. She hurriedly tied her hair into a ponytail, washed herself and prepared to go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw Diao Chan walking out of Li Yu's room.
Mu Guiying looked at her house number, then at the sign of the general manager's office next to her, with a bad smile on her pretty face:
"Xiaochan Fairy, you and your husband are too entangled, aren't you? No wonder I found that I was the only one in bed last night. It turns out that you came to my husband's room secretly... Haha, don't worry, if I don't tell, no one will Will tell."
Diao Chan: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
What are you talking about, you damn girl? If you hadn't rolled up all the quilts, would I have come to your husband's room to catch up on my sleep this morning?
Forget it, forget it, it’s getting darker and darker anyway, so I’d better stop talking about it.
She looked at Mu Guiying and asked:
"You really promise not to say anything?"
Mu Guiying nodded heavily and raised her finger to swear:
"If I reveal even a single word, I will be struck by lightning!"
However, as soon as she came downstairs, this crazy girl whispered to Wu Song:
"Brother of the Wu family, my little sister wants to tell you something, but don't tell anyone else..."
