one's door

"Master Liu, I'm Zhang Er and Zhang Yan from the opposite side. Come and drop by, can I go in?" Zhang Yan greeted with a smile.He knew very well that the other party must know him.When he went out to see Zhou Cang off just now, Zhang Yan clearly saw the other party looking out through the crack of the door.

"Hey, second brother of the Zhang family, please, please come in!"

After entering the house, it was dark and there was a damp smell.The room is also very narrow, one kitchen and one is the main room.A curtain was drawn in the middle of the main room, obviously the outside is still used for the main room, and the inside should be the separated bedroom.

Zhang Yan is not surprised, this kind of house is the environment where most people live in Zhuzui Lane.The Zhang family sold their wealth and moved here. They are a bit down and down, but they also have a foundation, which is incomparable.

In his perception, Zhang Yan could feel that behind the curtain was a person with a bit of aura, probably the wife of Liu Carpenter that the eldest brother said.

"Come on, drink some hot water. The house is simple, don't be surprised by the second brother of the Zhang family." Carpenter Liu looked embarrassed.Although he wasn't worried that the other party would hurt him, he still felt that if the other party was in contact with dignified officials, he was not his type, even though they were two pairs of each other.

"Okay, Master Liu. By the way, I heard from my brother that you like to drink. This was ordered at the wine shop in the alley just now. Don't be disgusted." Zhang Yan sat on the stool and put the wine on the table.

"This, this can't be done, can't be done, I..."

"Master Liu, don't refuse. You didn't help my family too much back then. You insisted on paying for my little sister Zhang Huiyuan's craftsmanship, and the family members were in a daze and really took it. This is too wrong. But the wine, you I have to accept it, otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that we don’t treat our family as neighbors? Right?”

"This, this..." Carpenter Liu was stupid, a little anxious but didn't know how to reject Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan waved his hand, took out the drawings he drew last night from his arms, put them on the table, then changed the subject with a smile and said to Carpenter Liu: "Here are some small things, Master Liu, see if you can make them. "

"Ah? Oh! Okay, let me see."

Carpenter Liu took the drawing and looked at it for a while, then raised his head, his eyeballs were much more bulging than before.Pointing to the words on the drawing with a slightly embarrassed tone, he said, "Second Brother Zhang, is this a carpenter's object? It looks like...a chair with wheels? But what do these words mean? I, I don't Literacy."

"Master Liu, don't blame me, I was negligent. Let me explain to you. This thing is a chair with wheels. I call it a wheelchair...Look, these things are like this...and the size..."

At the end, Zhang Yan added: "How? Master Liu thinks it can be done?"

Chapter 79 Arrangement

Although Carpenter Liu's personality is honest and even a bit dull, his craftsmanship is absolutely as Zhang Shun said, it belongs to the best in Zhuzui Alley, even if you look at the whole Langyuan City, it is the kind that ranks in the forefront.

Although illiterate, Liu Carpenter quickly understood the beauty of it under Zhang Yan's explanation.

"This, isn't this too detailed? With this kind of blueprint, even a clumsy carpenter can make it!" Carpenter Liu sighed sincerely.

Because the literacy rate in Huangtianyu is not high, the routines used by craftsmen to pass on are still "helping, passing on, leading". There are more words and practical exercises, and there are almost no words and books.Even the drawings are more inclined to the overall appearance. There is absolutely no drawing like Zhang Yan's drawing with various parts and multiple angles, or even a section drawing, which is almost explained with words.

However, Zhang Yan is self-aware. The pictures he draws seem to be very detailed, but they are all his own thinking. Differences in process conditions between the two worlds required adjustments.Therefore, it depends on Liu Carpenter's ability to implement the things on the drawing.

So Zhang Yan waved his hand and said: "Master Liu, I just thought about this thing randomly, and I don't know carpentry skills. The things on it seem to be okay, but I'm afraid there will be many mistakes and omissions when I start it. So it's up to you." Come check it out."

"Second brother of the Zhang family, don't worry. Although some small parts of this wheelchair are difficult to make, they are not too difficult. Even if there are some errors in the drawings, we will just make some adjustments by hand. I am confident in making it."

When it comes to his expertise, Carpenter Liu becomes fluent in speech.In his opinion, with such detailed drawings as a basis, if the finished product cannot be produced, then it is not worthy of the word carpenter.

Zhang Yan nodded with a smile, pushed the drawings in front of the other party, and at the same time took a few money bills from his arms and put them on them. He waved his hand to stop Carpenter Liu, and continued: "Master Liu, I made this thing for you." The elder brother with disabled legs at home thinks that with this device, he can go out without having to stay in bed all day, and even regain some basic living skills. This is very important to him. So the money is a must to give.

In addition, Master Liu's family is also struggling, so how can I ask you to give me money to make things for me?Moreover, if this thing is useful after it is finished, it will be a good business. At that time, Master Liu can sell it with this craftsmanship. I believe that there are not a few people in the city who are in a similar situation as my elder brother, and they can also subsidize Master Liu. Household..."

What Zhang Yan said directly confused the honest Carpenter Liu.He didn't expect that he could play so many tricks with a novel woodworking gadget? !

"No, no, no, this is yours, the second brother of the Zhang family. I just made it for you. How can it be blamed on me? No way, no way!" Carpenter Liu blushed. Zhang Yan was giving him alms, and he was very excited for a while.How can a majestic man be given charity?

How could Zhang Yan's plan be as simple as a wheelchair?Although this kind of thing is not a rare thing on earth, it is the first time it has appeared in the wild world.How many people in the world need wheelchairs?During Zhang Yanguang's two years in Yubeishan Fortress, he saw no less than a dozen soldiers who were injured and had to have their legs amputated. If these people had wheelchairs to help them, life would be very different.

This is not a small business. If you think about it carefully, not to mention being rich and powerful, at least it is very easy to be a well-to-do household who is well-known all over the world.

As for imitation, this is inevitable.But as long as the reputation is made first, the words "time-honored brand" can be worth thousands of dollars.In the future, as long as we continue to maintain the advantage of change, who can take away this business?

Furthermore, a wheelchair is at best to make the elder brother's movement more convenient, but it will not qualitatively change the psychological help of the other party.In the final analysis, it is still necessary for the eldest brother to have a new life, instead of staying at home and reminding himself that he is a waste all the time.

So finding something for the elder brother to do was also something Zhang Yan was thinking about when he was about to take out the wheelchair.

As for business, my elder brother was also famous for his brilliance when he was running the house, so it would not be a problem to use it in business.If Zhang Yan gives some advice, it will be foolproof.

And Carpenter Liu in front of him is the first team that Zhang Yan plans to pull in.

"Master Liu, I came up with this thing, but I don't know how to do it. I let you do it. I and I complement each other. Finally, there will be a wheelchair, and there will be a wheelchair business in the future. Therefore, partnership, the word you You should have heard of it, right? We can work together to do this. You don’t have to worry about anything else, just make things. How about it?”

"That's not right, second brother of the Zhang family, what you said is wrong. You can do the same thing with another person, and it can't be counted as mine." Carpenter Liu has his own insistence.

However, this stubbornness deepened Zhang Yan's idea of ​​pulling him in to do this business together.

"Change someone else? They don't deserve it! I don't dare. Master Liu, people are like this. You need some foundation of trust to work together. You have helped the Zhang family without asking for anything in return. You are honest and reliable. This business is not for you." Who? It’s alright, alright, don’t be stubborn, what’s the difference between this and your usual handicraft? You were the first to think of all the tables, chairs and benches you made? Don’t you do well?

Besides, the family is short of money, so if you have a good network, you must seize it, otherwise, how can the husband's family lose face?Right? "

"This..." Carpenter Liu was dizzy from Zhang Yan's gossip, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

"Okay, I'm just saying this to give you a solid foundation, Master Liu, get things out first, and think about other things later."

These words made Carpenter Liu heave a sigh of relief, and he nodded vigorously.Don't worry about other imaginary things, let's talk about it after we make it.

After leaving Carpenter Liu's house, Zhang Yan went to Yuan Pharmacy again and bought more than 200 catties of cheap medicinal materials, just like last time.As soon as I came back, there was another guest waiting in the house.

It was Zhou Cang's adjutant, who introduced himself as Wang Bin, and came here this time to deliver medicinal materials to Zhang Yan.Each of the eleven kinds of precious medicinal materials was delivered in three times the amount of "one furnace" that Zhang Yan said.There is also a brocade box, which contains a thick stack of money notes, the amount is not small.

"Mr. Zhang, the things have been delivered, and it's time for me to leave. If the medicinal materials are not enough, please let me know. We will definitely satisfy the husband.

In addition, in order to let the students feel at ease, we have arranged soldiers to patrol day and night in Zhuzui Lane, and we will definitely not let Xiaoxiao take advantage of the opportunity to disturb the peace of the students. "

Chapter 80

Zhang Yan was not surprised that Zhou Cang moved so fast.

For warriors, especially high-cultivation warriors, the bone-strengthening pill definitely has a far more allure than the bones and muscles.It is a rare treasure in your hand, how can it be too little?

What's more, there is no basis for words, and Zhou Cang's side will be truly convinced after practicing again.So sooner rather than later, the adjutant delivered the needed medicinal materials so quickly.It is estimated that I went directly to Yuan Pharmacy before, bought the medicine and turned back.

Of course, what they brought back was not only medicinal materials, but also some money tickets and guarantees for the safety of the Zhang family's life.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, Zhang Yan never went out again. He also asked his little sister not to go out unless necessary recently, and to let go of female celebrity affairs as long as she can. The family only has a lot of income, and there is no shortage of her to do. The female red's family subsidy.

Zhang Huiyuan pouted and was not very willing, but she also understood the reason and had no resistance. She said that she took the things home and made them, and she didn't go out except to buy vegetables.

"It won't be like this for too long. After I arrange some things, I don't need to be so nervous." Zhang Yan didn't explain his plan in detail.

Perhaps only Zhang Shun vaguely guessed some of his second brother's worries.But the old mother Wang Lanping and the younger sister Zhang Huiyuan thought that Zhang Yan was worried about Xiao Chongwen and others coming to make trouble.After all, Ma Shan died before, and many people were spreading the absurd homicide that those bastards wanted to kill Zhang Yan but mistook him for Ma Shan.

After comforting his family members, Zhang Yan has been making alchemy in his own room.Not only bone-strengthening pills, but also Biqing pills.

The eleven main medicines of Biqingdan were sent by Zhou Cang, and the supplementary medicines were also included in the cheap medicinal materials that Zhang Yan had bought before, so everything was ready, and he didn't waste time .

The Bone Strengthening Pill is okay, after all, it has been refined so many times, practice makes perfect, techniques and experience are gradually accumulated, the number of times of refining is reduced, and the efficiency of success and pill formation has also increased significantly.

After refining five furnaces of bone-strengthening pills, three furnaces were produced, and two of the three successful furnaces produced three pills, and a total of eight bone-strengthening pills were obtained.In addition to the remaining seven before, Zhang Yan now has fifteen bone-strengthening pills in his hand, which is enough to deal with Zhou Cang for the time being, so he is not going to continue refining in a short time.

Compared with the Bone Strengthening Pill, the refining of the Biqing Pill was not so smooth.The three medicinal materials were all scrapped, and all of them were scrapped halfway through the refining process. Zhang Yan didn't even make full use of the refining technique, which was too far behind.It also made Zhang Yan understand that the refining of Biqing Pill is more than ten times more difficult than that of Bone Strengthening Pill.It also made him examine himself as a rookie at the lowest level in Dan Dao.

Fortunately, the main medicinal material of Biqing Dan was not bought by Zhang Yan himself, otherwise he would have a heartache.

Although Zhang Yan used only half of Biqing Dan's refining method to refine the whole furnace of Dan, but there are still a lot of gains, at least Zhang Yan felt a lot of mistakes and mistakes in the first half of the alchemy method alone. Deviations, and these are simply impossible to understand just by reading the text descriptions in the alchemy book.

And the third day after Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City, also passed quietly in his self-summary about alchemy.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yan changed into a set of clothes that his mother and younger sister made for him after washing. There were no fancy styles, and they were the most common common clothes in Langyuan City.

Making new clothes and putting them on for Zhang Yan today is also for Zhang Yan's family to win a good fortune. I hope that Zhang Yan can have a smooth new start from today.

Because today Zhang Yan is going to the local yamen of Langyuan City to go through the registration formalities.

It has been delayed for three days, which is beyond common sense.In addition to Zhou Cang's display of chariots and horses, Zhang Yan didn't think that the local government would dare to continue to delay him.

"Zhang Yan."

"Caomin has met Wang Guanren. I don't know if the Caomin can be registered this time?"

When seeing that Wang Guanren again, the smile on Zhang Yan's face was still the same, with a docile appearance, but the opposite Wang Guanren didn't have such a good-looking expression.It never occurred to him that this unremarkable guy could really live to be three days later.

Of course, Wang Guanren is not criticizing the city governor Wu Yuan for being useless, really not.He was just lamenting Zhang Yan's luck that he was able to escape the Wu family's tricks, not to mention gaining the friendship of the city guard Zhou Cang.

Yesterday Zhou Cang visited Zhang's house in Zhuzui Lane again, and called Zhang Yan "brother Zhang" when he left. This incident has gone crazy among the so-called upper class in Langyuan City.Naturally, the royal official had also heard about it.Seeing Zhang Yan again now, he always felt a little dazzling.

It's like a thorn, it's not pleasing to the eye, and it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"Of course. I talked about it for three days before, and I can finish it for you today."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

"Ah."

The procedure is actually not complicated.To put it bluntly, it is to reactivate Zhang Yan's personal file that was sealed up for destruction after he was sentenced to death in Langyuan City, and add the "clear crime" yamen note.Finally, the household registration was placed on Zhang Yan's head again, and the household registration documents and household registration signs were issued.

It took less than a stick of incense before and after, so the procedures were completed.Zhang Yan also obtained his household registration and became an ordinary good citizen in Langyuan City again.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, that grass-roots man will leave now." Zhang Yan bowed to the other party, then turned and left under the other party's gaze.

Zhang Yan knew very well that the fact that he obtained the household registration of Langyuan City was not the end, and the enmity between him and Wu Qingling and Wu Yuan, the father and son, had just begun.But he is in no hurry.Now he has just entered the Profound Vein Realm for less than half a year, and his cultivation will definitely become stronger and stronger as he goes on.Not to mention far away, with the nine bean soldiers in his hand, he felt that after a year or so of nurturing, he would be able to reach the strength of a warrior in the late stage of Body Tempering Realm.Not to mention raids, these people in the self-protection family should have the confidence, right?

Don't be in a hurry for revenge, especially when you are in a weak position, you have to take it slowly, and it is the best policy to kill with one blow when you are strong enough.

What Zhang Yan has to do now is to take advantage of the first wave of the Wu family's father and son being blocked by him, and at the same time, because of Zhou Cang's intervention, he has to temporarily hide in the time gap, and learn more about the inside story of his previous "arson and murder" .After figuring this out, he will have the handle of the Wu family and his son in his hands, and he will have the possibility to fight back.

Of course, if you can't find out, then the only way to go is head-to-head, but that also requires Zhang Yan to make full preparations as soon as possible.

Based on these two reasons, Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to go home after getting the household registration procedures, but wandered around the city.Following the memory of his predecessor, he wanted to visit all the corners of Langyuan City.If one day is not enough, just a few more days.He felt that such a big city could always find surprises for him...

Chapter 81 Strange

Before Zhang Yan knew that Langyuan City was not just a "big city" because of its special geographical location, but also served as an important military stronghold.Therefore, the streets in the city are obviously different from the layout of other big cities.

In Langyuan City, you can hardly see winding paths, and there are few hidden narrow alleys.The straight intersection of the two main streets leads to the four gates, which also divides Langyuan City into four square areas.In these areas, there are also straight back streets that continue to divide different building locations.

Even Zhuzui Alley, which belongs to the slums, is straight and transparent, and the alley can at least be wide enough for three people to walk side by side with room for room.

The advantage of this arrangement is that no matter what the corner is, there is no dead corner for defense, and it can be reached quickly.Even during wartime, it is possible to ride horses on the streets, which is conducive to the mutual dependence of the four walls.

This makes shopping a very simple thing, because no matter how you go, the main road or the small road will not go into a dead end, and you will not get lost, but will eventually converge on the main street.

The memory of Zhang Yan's previous life is mainly around the main street of Langyuan City.After all, before the accident of the predecessor, it was considered a kind of family affair in Langyuan City, and there were very few back streets and alleys in the places he usually went to.

First turned around according to the memory of his predecessor, and then chose the alleys of the back street to randomly string together, seemingly aimless, but in fact Zhang Yan was deliberately looking for something he was interested in.

Naturally, what Zhang Yan is interested in is not only the snacks on the roadside, the unique street appearance here, but also deeper things that ordinary people cannot discover.In his opinion, the more densely populated the place, the more dark and imperceptible hidden corners there will be.Just like the Luohua Lane that I walked through in Xuanhua City before, hidden behind the bustling and extravagant, it is so dark that it falls in the dust, the contrast is astonishing.

But after walking around the city for two hours, he went around half of the corners and corners, but it turned out that Zhang Yan didn't find any place where the yin energy was lingering.Not to mention that it is full of vitality, but at least there is no trace of the dark wind.

"Why is that so?"

It's illogical.Because the monsters and warriors are rampant in the wild sky, let alone the monsters, warriors are two types of ghosts, and the means of existence and practice are almost the same, and it is difficult to detect the existence of ghosts.Even in Zhang Yan's view, the spiritual sense of a martial artist whose martial cultivation base is below the Tongqiao state cannot detect the ghosts in the soul body, and can only rely on his own strong blood to drive away the ghosts unconsciously.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to talk about the elimination of ghosts.Then why in a large city like Langyuan City with a large population, it is impossible to encounter a place where Yin Qi is stagnant for four hours?

We must know that ghosts can exist in the world for a long time, and the theory is that there is no possibility of natural extinction.Long-term accumulation, not to mention that the city is full of ghosts and monsters, but at least there are a few hidden places?There should be some ghosts, right?

But the fact is not what Zhang Yan thought.Until he went home in the evening, during this half day, he almost went around the whole Langyuan City, but still didn't find any signs related to ghosts.

The only harvest is a bag of roast chicken and a jug of fruit wine in his hand.When I passed by the Dongmen market, I couldn’t bear the aroma of the roast chicken, so I cut up a whole chicken, and then I made another pot of fruit wine in the fruit wine shop next to the stall, ready to go back to the family Make a tooth sacrifice.

At night, while Zhang Yan practiced cross-legged, he still had doubts in his mind.

Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City from Yubei Mountain, and walked so many big cities along the way. Although Zhang Yan did not visit as carefully as this time, he could more or less find places where Yin Qi was stagnant.

It is often said that "everything happens for a reason", and there may be some unknown reason why Langyuan City is so clean.This made Zhang Yan very curious.I even wondered, could it be that there is some kind of practice method that exists in the wild sky domain in Langyuan City that can specifically target ghosts?This place is so clean after frequent raids?

Or is it some other reason?

The next day, Zhang Yan held the little girl who was going out to buy vegetables at home, and went out with the basket by himself.In a world without refrigerators for storage, ingredients are basically bought every day.In the past, my younger sister Zhang Huiyuan was doing this.In order to be safe these days, Zhang Yan asked his family members to stay at home as much as possible and not go out, or just walk around Zhuzui Lane.There are garrison soldiers patrolling day and night, which is the security guarantee given by Zhou Cang.As for the East Gate Market, there are many people and miscellaneous, Zhang Yan is not very relieved that his family will come here for the time being.

Zhang Yan had been to the Dongmen Market yesterday when he was wandering around the city, but the scene was very different yesterday compared to today.Because today is the first day of the new year, twice a month, the surrounding farmers will bring more abundant agricultural products into the city for sale, attracting many people to come.

However, as soon as he entered the square gate of the Dongmen market, Zhang Yan saw people on the vacant high platform on the left side of the square gate, and there were yamen servants standing below to maintain order, surrounded by many people from Langyuan city. , as if watching the fun.

"This is..." Seeing the posture on the high platform, Zhang Yan immediately realized what he was going to do.

The owl first showed the public.

Not everyone has the opportunity to be sent to the army like Zhang Yan was before, and they must meet the requirements of the army.It can't be that kind of heinous crime, you have to have a good body.

For example, the frail and gray-haired one kneeling on the high platform would not have the chance to go to the army.This kind of person can only go to this high platform to be shown to the public after being convicted.

These belonged to "rare excitement" in the memory of Zhang Yan's predecessor.Although many people can't see such a bloody scene, no one would be disgusted. The bad guys were killed. What's so disgusting about such a good thing?Even many people would gather around to watch the excitement with a smile on their faces, and some would comment on the executioner's methods with eloquence.

Zhang Yan is not interested in beheading. He has seen too much blood on Yubei Mountain, so he has long been indifferent. It is a waste of his time.

But just when Zhang Yan was about to cross the crowd and enter the market to buy something, he suddenly frowned slightly and stopped in his tracks.

After shaking his nose a few times, Zhang Yan smelled an unusual smell.It's a weird smell that normal people don't notice and can't tell the difference.It doesn't belong to living things, it only belongs to ghosts.

"There is a lot of yang energy here, and there will be ghosts haunting it?" Zhang Yan felt a little strange in his heart.But still with a thought, he activated his "Yin-Yang Pupil Technique", switched his field of vision to the state where both yin and yang are present, and then looked around.Finally, several illusory figures were found in the gap of the wooden structure under the high platform.
