In two days, Yu Erlang made two crossbows. After trying them, Yu Hongdou felt nothing but admiration for her second uncle.

After trying the feel of the arrow, Yu Hongdou went to the grass mat to pull out an arrow and tried again.

Seeing the arrowhead made of wood, I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Second uncle, can this arrowhead be made of iron?"

After asking, I remembered that bowstrings should be hard to find and expensive. I don't know how much this crossbow will cost and whether it can be mass-produced. After all, many things are regulated nowadays.

"As for iron arrows, the number cannot exceed 20." Private iron casting is illegal, and arrowheads can only be made in blacksmith shops. The blacksmiths keep records, Yu Erlang explained to his niece.

Yu Hongdou nodded and said that was what she said, but there were countermeasures for every policy. One crossbow for each person corresponded to 20 iron arrows. If she shot a few more in private according to the example, no one would be able to tell.

The crossbow is ready. Yu Hongdou is now thinking about when to give it to her father to give him a surprise. Then she will start saving materials so that when she trains her own people in the future, she can equip them with this equipment as soon as possible.

In the end, Yu Hongdou decided to leave the two crossbows with her second uncle first. On the one hand, she wanted her second uncle to see if there was any room for improvement, and on the other hand, she would not be able to hide such a big thing if she took it back.

Every time at such a moment, she couldn't help but sigh that the loneliness of the golden finger of space is really the sorrow of time travelers.

I gossiped with my second sister and my second aunt who had nothing to do about my future brother-in-law whom I met today, focusing on how the handsome scholar saluted me.

After saying that, Yu Hongdou went to see her second cousin. As expected, she saw her second cousin rubbing her arms.

"Isn't this quite sensible?" Sun didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"That's sour~ Mom, just imagine what it would be like for him and elder sister to be together as a couple?" Hu Tao felt scared just thinking about it.

Sun thought about the way her eldest niece spoke, and then thought about what Yu Hongdou had just learned, and couldn't help but touch the back of her head: "It's a bit creepy."

Yu Hongdou and Hu Tao hugged each other and laughed.

But no matter how they laugh, it will not prevent the eldest wife from deciding on the candidate for son-in-law.

Because not long after Yu Hongdou left, the fair-faced scholar named Xiangxue, whose courtesy name was Daoan, had already walked into the gate of the Yu family's old house carrying gifts.

……

Yu Hongdou didn't have time to find out what happened at the old house, but a group of uninvited guests came to her house.

"Cousin!" After having fully satisfied her desire to chat in the second room, Yu Hongdou was stopped by a voice as soon as she entered the house with Wangwang.

"Cousin Su?" Yu Hongdou was still with one foot outside the door when she saw her cousin, whom she had not seen for only two days, coming towards her wagging his tail like Wangwang. However, when he got closer, she felt something was wrong.

"I'm your cousin Ji." Cao Ji looked at his little cousin who was as small as a three-inch bean and picked her up directly.

"?" Is this cousin so familiar? When Yu Hongdou heard the other party's self-introduction, she remembered that her aunt had given birth to four sons, and the eldest and second sons were twins.

"Su" and "Ji" are both names of millet. The names she gave to her two cousins ​​are really thoughtful.

This also made Yu Hongdou curious. Who was the wise and educated person in the Zigou Village where her uncle and his family lived? Could it be the village chief?

Just when I thought of the village chief, he turned around and sat in the main hall of his house.

"Hongdou, come and meet your Uncle Cao and Uncle Xu." Yu Sanlang was obviously very happy. He waved cheerfully and asked her to call people.

When Yu Hongdou walked in, the first thing she saw were the people sitting on the left and right of the octagonal table with her father.

This man looked about the same age as my uncle, with a Taoist bun and a goatee. His face was a little sallow, but his eyes seemed to emit light. When he looked at people, it made people feel uneasy.

"Wow, this little girl is so pretty." As soon as Yu Hongdou walked in, Xu Da felt that the whole house was brightened. He couldn't help but look at the little girl's face and couldn't help but clapping his hands and sighing.

"?" A question mark popped up above Yu Hongdou's head. Does this mean she is so beautiful? Isn't this Uncle Xu too fake?

"Brother Yu, your daughter is blessed with great fortune and eight nobles gathered to protect her. She is destined to be rich and noble in her life. This is a rare and good fortune." Xu Da exclaimed. It turned out that such a fate actually existed. He had always thought that it was just bragging by his ancestors.

The Cao brothers couldn't help being shocked after hearing what the village chief said. They all looked at the little girl standing in the middle. They saw that she had a confused look on her face, and she was innocent and cute, so they couldn't help but smile silently.

The eldest son of the Cao family glanced at his second nephew at the door, and his heart moved. They were relatives, and it was not impossible for the Cao family to try their luck at this wealth.

"Brother, the village chief is very accurate in fortune-telling." Cao Lei didn't think as much as his brother, but was eager to explain the village chief's abilities to his uncle.

He was afraid that his uncle would misunderstand the village chief, and he was also afraid that his uncle would offend the village chief.

"What does it matter whether she is blessed or not? As long as she is healthy and happy, that's enough." Although Yu Sanlang was surprised, he didn't show it on his face. He waved his hand pretending to be indifferent.

But he muttered in his heart that his daughter must be blessed with good fortune and had done good deeds, otherwise how could she be so lucky to pick up so many good things and bring their whole family to prosperity.

Xu Da and his companions had just entered the room and had not had time to discuss serious matters.

After seeing Yu Hongdou, he was still hesitant whether to trust Yu Sanlang completely, but now he let down his guard and told him all the secrets of the Cao family and Cigou Village.

Cao family ancestor Cao Yun was once the second in command of the famous Xifeng Village, and was also the "fourth brother" of Chen, the favorite concubine of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

"It's a long story. My ancestor was named Xu Maoling. He was an abandoned baby picked up by Master Changlin. He grew up with Master Changlin and learned the skills of stargazing, divination, wind and land observation."

"When Master Changlin was young, he visited famous mountains and rivers and accidentally found a torn page of a book. After years of research and identification, Master Changlin finally understood what was written on the page. It listed more than 40 kinds of materials, which looked like a pill recipe."

"Since ancient times, there have been stories of people refining elixirs to seek immortality. Since the Qin Emperor, everyone has wanted to live forever."

Speaking of the word "immortality", Xu Da looked around at the people present. Seeing that the blessed girl looked disapproving, Xu Da could not help but stroke his beard and smiled.

"There is no such thing as an elixir of life in this world. Master Changlin has practiced hard for many years and has long since let go of life and death. However, he is interested in the materials in the elixir recipe because most of them look like minerals."

“There are only thirteen minerals that have been discovered and named in this world.”

"So Changlin Zhenren, along with his apprentice Xu Maoling and Chen Ruxiang, who was sent to the Taoist temple by her family, began to search everywhere, but in the end they only found 17 kinds of mineral materials."

"It is a pity that Master Changlin passed away. After Xu Maoling and Chen Ruxiang parted ways, they were planning to find a good place with good feng shui to build a Taoist temple and practice seclusion."

"Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Maoling got the follow-up of the recipe, and then he realized that it was not a recipe for any elixir at all, but a set of formulas."

When Xu Da said this, his eyes were far away and his expression was full of longing. After a long while, he said the next sentence: "That is a formula from another world."
