When I got up early in the morning, I saw someone dead at the entrance of the village. It was said that he was a person who had been doing corvee work.

It's not just Hejiatun where people died, the same happened in Yangjiazhuang next door.

Regarding these issues, adults seem to have kept their mouths shut and tried their best not to let children know.

The reason why Wang Fang knew it was because the third aunt brought someone back.

The little girl, who is about eight or nine years old, is soft and frail, with only a pair of big eyes, shining with a captivating light.

The third aunt bought this for five taels of silver, saying she was going to be Wang Fang's wife, but she didn't see her asking her mother for money.

After asking a few questions, he couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only let her follow him.

Sitting quietly in the courtyard, playing with the incense stick in his hand, this is a delay device that can delay the explosion for several hours.

The production method is very simple. Grind ordinary incense sticks into powder, add egg whites, bind them and dry them in the sun. One stick of incense can delay the time for two quarters of an hour, which is about half an hour.

Twelve sticks of incense were ground into powder and processed into incense coils.

Coiled incense, also known as mosquito-repellent incense in later generations, had a live wire tied to its end and surrounded by layers of gunpowder disassembled from firecrackers.

This is a simple delayed explosion device and an ignition device.

As early as a month ago, when he came back from the county town, he planned to make such a device. Unfortunately, he could not find oil, and there was no need to think about white phosphorus. Until now, he only knew that white phosphorus was produced by the sublimation of red phosphorus, but he But the red phosphorus was never found.

In the absence of petroleum white phosphorus, the only way to ignite a fire was with gunpowder. The small incense coil was packed in a cardboard box with tinder stuffed on both sides.

This is the best ignition device that Wang Fang can think of, and it is also the only ignition device that he can make at the moment.

The raw materials are very simple, gunpowder, incense, tinder, and pine oil.

The finished ignition device is only about the size of two palms, but the effect is very good.

Wang Fang experimented several times and found that he could easily ignite firewood piles and common wooden structures of this era.

For a warehouse full of grain, such a device is not a problem, but for some safety reasons, he must reduce the capacity of gunpowder and increase the volume of incense. Otherwise, he can easily make Several more powerful explosive devices.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money. After all, firecrackers also cost money.

While making the incense, the little girl on the side kept staring at Wang Fang. Although she didn't understand what Wang Fang did, she also knew that it was something harmful.

And my aunt and uncle clearly told me to keep an eye on this boy who looked a little silly and was often in a daze, because he was my future support.

In the words of her cousin, this person is so smart that she is evil, but in the past few days of observation, Yang Rong did not think so.

This is a person who is often stupid. He often squats in no one's place and laughs and laughs, or speaks words that are incomprehensible.

And in their recent interactions, she also learned that the little boy in front of her was indeed stupid before. He was so stupid that he couldn't speak even at the age of three.

I heard that he got better recently and spent fifteen guan of silver. Subconsciously, Yang Rong always believed that the little boy in front of her was still not well, but his family did not want to continue spending money, so she could only declare to the outside world that he was completely recovered. .

"Otherwise, it will definitely affect my wife."

The eight or nine-year-old girl has already understood the meaning of marriage. Yang Rong thought with malice in her heart. As for spending her whole life with the little boy in front of her, that's just talk. When she grows up, she will definitely avenge her father. Avenge your mother. After taking revenge, fly away and find a place where no one can find her, and live alone for the rest of your life.

No one told him, but he could probably guess the truth. In addition, there were always loud-mouthed women in the village. After hearing too many gossips, Wang Fang already understood the identity of the little girl.

The little girl's name was Yang Rong. This name was told to her by her third aunt, so there was no need to guess. Her father was one of the people who served in the corvee this time. Just like the entrance to his village a few days ago, his body was dumped at the door of his house.

As for the mother, she threw herself into the river as soon as she saw the body, leaving behind an orphan and a widow. The orphan was taken in by the villagers, but the widow was not easy to deal with.

The third aunt spent money to sign a contract and took her back to take care of her. The reason was very simple. Her father went there for Yang Qingjiang and died for Yang Qingjiang.

In theory, substitution of corvee is not allowed, but in reality, there are no photos or videos. As long as the other party insists that he is someone, then he can only be someone until others report him.

As for portraits, ordinary villagers are not qualified to draw portraits, and no one can draw a complete likeness.

When the corvee was assigned three years ago, whether intentionally or not, several surrounding villages were assigned to be candidates for the speaker.

The candidate for Yangjiazhuang will be replaced by Yang Rong's father, and the candidate for Hejiatun will be replaced by his father.

I remember that after the third uncle was chosen, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the family did not want the third uncle to go. However, when his mother had just given birth to her sister and was in confinement, the father was persuaded by the family to go instead of the third uncle. .

These were all done without telling the third uncle. The third uncle, who was only thirty years old and had just married a beautiful wife, did not care about the outside world at all. In addition, the third aunt's newlywed Yan'er deliberately concealed it. When the third uncle knew the matter When the truth came out, my father had been away for more than half a month.

As a first-generation ranger, the third uncle is qualified. Whether it is out of guilt for his sister or other reasons, the third uncle resolutely goes to find his father and plans to replace him.

This is the reason why the family remains tight-lipped, and why Wang Fang only found out about his father's whereabouts two years later.

Of course, there must be things that I don't know, but for now, knowing these is enough.

In addition, the person who died at the entrance of the village was naturally neither his father nor his third uncle. It was impossible for a village to send only one candidate. Generally speaking, each family would select one person to go together.

Yang Rong's father was not considered a wealthy man. He volunteered to replace Yang Qingjiang for ten taels of silver. He thought he would be back in a few months, but now two years later, there is only one corpse left.

The villagers didn't know what was going on, but they could feel that it was unusual.

But now, facing a little girl who had the same experience as himself but was even more miserable than himself, Wang Fang undoubtedly had a lot more patience.

Squatting on the ground, he explained in detail the principles of the device in his hand, and recounted some of the knowledge he had left over from his previous life over and over again.

Regardless of whether she could understand or not, she was the only one who could tell her story. At this moment, Wang Fang was extremely nervous and looked towards the county town from time to time.

If the guess is correct, the fourth brother will arrive home at this time, and if there is no problem with the device, the grain store last night has been reduced to ashes.

This was the first time that Wang Fang used the dark knowledge he was familiar with in his previous life. Although he knew that the possibility of success was high, he was still full of worries.

I can only pray that my fourth brother will not be discovered and that the device will not malfunction. See more Weixin official account: hhxs665
