"Then who made these before I came?"
Zheng Quchi was concentrating on his work, squatting down and tapping the installation methodically, while asking the mistress.
Xiao San raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Qi and himself, looking like they were grievances: "It's just Xiao Qi and I. We can barely understand some drawings. It takes some time to make them, but we can't do them well. Every time It breaks after just one use."
Zheng Quchi now understood why Xing'an put the three of them together.
I bet the three of them are all logistics personnel.
Another thing is, is it possible that it's not that they didn't put it together well, but that this thing was originally disposable? The people who provide the goods are either not skilled in their skills, or they deliberately produce defective products to fool laymen.
"Who made these things for you? Why don't you ask him to assemble them and send them to you?"
"The man said that he didn't have time to pretend for us, so he told her to do it himself. Besides, the man just made a deal with us..." When Ah San said this, he suddenly realized that he had accidentally revealed something to her. He quickly cut off what he needed to say and did not continue.
But it was so embarrassing to be silent all of a sudden, so he quickly changed the subject, put his hands on his hips, and said plausibly: "Why are you talking so much? Work hard, this car is in trouble, it will take at least half an hour, and we still have several things to do. , If we don’t get it done before dark, Brother Xing’an will definitely be angry…”
"alright."
Before he could finish complaining, Zheng Quchi interrupted. She dusted off her hands and stood up.
The words were still stuck in her throat, but Xiaosan had already forgotten what she had just said.
Xiaosan and Xiaoqi looked behind Zheng Quchi with dull eyes, and secretly took a breath: "!"
Oh my god, it's square and square, with "no arms or legs missing", and there's no random splicing. It's really a complete crowbar!
"What did you do?!" Xiaosan held her face and screamed like a mole.
Zheng Quchi was so frightened that he was startled: "What the fuck?!"
He rushed in front of her in a few steps, raised both of her hands, and immediately admired and sighed: "How did it grow, how did it work so well, it, it was like thirty-five divided by two, Has the floor been fixed?"
Usually, he and Xiao Qi would rack their brains to study the drawings. Once they understood it, they would look for the parts, and finally study how to put them together from zero to complete.
The time spent in this process is completely measured based on the agility of their heads. Sometimes other people can't see it and will come to help, but they are all laymen. The more they help, the more trouble they have, even if they can barely get it working He got up, but he didn't care about it, and it was bad when he said it was bad.
Zheng Quchi couldn't stand him, so she decisively pulled her hand back. She said slowly: "If I can't even handle such a small thing, why are you keeping me?"
When the mistress heard her talking about herself like this, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Although these words... were what he said before.
Xiao Qi explained it one step ahead of Xiao San: "I scared you before, hello."
When Zheng Quchi saw this speech, Xiao Qi stuttered, but she tried hard to hold back three words. She understood his words a little: "You mean, what you said in the sinkhole before was because Xiao San was scaring me? "
Xiao Qi was about to nod, but Xiao San slapped him aside. He said seriously to Zheng Quchi: "I'm trying to scare you, but Brother Xing'an and the others are not. In short, as long as you tell the truth." , He is really a carpenter, and he has no bad intentions. From now on, you can stay with us with peace of mind, and Xiaoqi and I will definitely protect you."
To be honest, although Xiao San has not known Xiao Zheng for a long time and does not know her well, and he does not even know which character "zheng" is written in her name, but he likes that she is unrestrained but knows how to show her softness at the right time. temperament.
She is too tough and difficult to get along with, and too soft and submissive is also difficult to get along with. She is just right.
Even Xiao Qi, who never likes to talk or interact with others, likes to be close to her and often finds opportunities to stay by her side. Perhaps it is because she has a very comfortable and cute personality.
Take advantage of the contagious power of relaxation.
When Zheng Quchi saw that he was suddenly so serious, he almost brought three glasses of wine to her and asked her to bow down to him with blood.
But I'm sorry, she is an undercover agent, and her heart has been biased from the beginning. Her purpose is to help the government arrest them all, so she is destined to betray their trust.
"Of course I'm a carpenter, it can't be true, right." She looked as usual and motioned to them to see the pry wheel she had just built.
When Xiao San and Xiao Qi saw it, they agreed: "They are much better than us. Come on, let's go over there next."
The three of them moved to another pile of wooden parts. This one was even simpler, but its use made Zheng Quchi's eyes narrow: "Rolling cage?"
"You really can tell what it is just by looking at it?" Xiao San's eyes widened.
She didn't ask what they used the "rolling cage" for, because she suddenly remembered the gunpowder bamboo tubes she saw in the storage room.
The "rolling cage" is a round cage that can be used as a torture device or for holding objects. It has a specially designed slot inside, which is specially used to catch slender objects. Blades can be placed, and naturally it can also hold objects. Concealed weapons such as gunpowder bamboo tubes can be placed.
If someone puts these gunpowder in the "rolling cage", and then someone pushes it down from a high place, as long as it goes as fast as possible, it will smoothly roll into the middle of the enemy, causing a certain degree of explosion and flying flame fragments. causing casualties.
However, she didn't know the specific power of the gunpowder bamboo tube. If the ratio was not right, there might be more smoke than fire, and the power would not be greater than that of a firecracker. But if the ratio was right, the power could be greater or less.
"I'm curious, who are we going to squat this time? Are there a lot of people? Do we need to ambush such a large formation in advance?" Zheng Quchi asked the mistress after finishing the "Ground Dragon".
Xiaosan's eyebrows were very tangled, and finally he hesitated and said: "You will see it soon, let's do things first."
Zheng Quchi didn't look cold because of his avoidance. She still maintained her usual expression: "That's okay."
She knew that Xiaosan did not dare to reveal things that the other party did not allow him to say casually because of Xing'an's intimidation, so she did not embarrass him anymore. In fact, Xiaosan was right. She couldn't wait long to see it with her own eyes anyway, so she was not in a hurry. For a while.
Since Zheng Quchi was responsible for the assembly this time, the tools and auxiliary equipment they needed for ambush and interception were prepared in advance, so that the road bandits who came back looked surprised.
"Xiao San, Xiao Qi, practice really makes perfect, have you mastered this skill so quickly?" someone joked.
Xiaosan immediately retorted angrily: "I know this skill, but it doesn't know me. We are not familiar with each other at all."
He turned back and pointed at Zheng Quchi and introduced them: "This is done by Xiao Zheng. I and Xiao Qi's gang were not asked to do anything during the whole process. Her movements were so capable and agile that she could tell where this was just by looking at it." It doesn’t even require blueprints.”
"She?" The road bandits looked at Zheng Quchi in surprise.
Zheng Quchi had been paying attention to the accents and habits of these road bandits, but it was difficult to judge. Firstly, they rarely spoke, and secondly, the accents of those who spoke were very mixed, and they did not seem to come from the same place.
Especially Xiaosan and Xiaoqi are another kind of sentences that are very correct and occasionally contain a few words with local accents.
She could only confirm that they were not from Fu County, their accents were not the same, and their diet was not the same.
Without paying attention, I heard the mistress blowing herself up a bit too much. Zheng Quchi interrupted him: "I am a carpenter, so I naturally have some skills."
Stop talking, or the secret will be revealed. Who knows how good the country craftsmen are at military craftsmanship? That is all the work of military craftsmen.
"A woman can really be a carpenter."
At first they didn't believe her claim to be a carpenter, even if she could repair a small cart, which was not difficult, but now that she could even install these, the facts were in front of them, and they had to believe it. .
In order to win their trust, Zheng Quchi naturally needed to compile a
A reasonable excuse, and she had already thought of it before.
"Poor people, I have learned and done whatever kind of work can provide enough food for me. I have had no support since I was a child, and no one will protect me. Therefore, my survival depends on my strong temperament. I can endure hardships and do what a man can do." , I can do it too, although you may all look down on me and think I am a woman, but I always feel that women can do anything that men can do, and men and women are equally useful."
They saw that she, a small woman, stood there stubbornly and refused to admit defeat in the face of powerful and ferocious gangsters like them, wanting to prove her ability to everyone. This alone was enough to show that she was different from ordinary women. .
Although they did not let go of their wariness against her, they felt that she was indeed a useful person. For a moment, Lu was speechless and fell into silence.
Men don't know how to get along with a little girl like Xiao Zheng, who looks soft and fair but is actually stubborn and serious. They kill enemies and make allies. But people like her who can't accurately define their identity are in trouble.
After questioning her for a few words, she told her a lot of suffering and tragic history. She suffered so much at a young age, and yet she was so miserable, yet she worked so hard, was so motivated, and worked so hard...
If she wants to say a few more words, they probably still don't know what to say in reply, so they can only find a place to hide.
"It is quite useful, and more useful than men."
In the silent silence of "I really deserve to die", Xing'an's very clearly identifiable voice sounded from behind.
He walked next to Zheng Quchi, but his tall body swallowed up the remaining light of the sunset, leaving only a shadow covering her body.
Zheng Quchi instantly felt like a small animal being stared at by a wolf, with goosebumps all over his body.
"That's why I went to all the trouble to kidnap you from Fu County to my gangster den..."
Zheng Quchi's heart was beating wildly when he heard it. He turned his head, his voice was drawn out, and his overly long eyes were inexplicably like two deformed sickles, which were both dangerous and hooking.
It's over... These ambiguous words, this lingering posture, and her body always seem to attract some perverted guys for no reason. Could he, he want her to be his stronghold? Madam? !
Zheng Quchi quickly took a step back, not expecting Xing'an to see through her actions first and move forward in sync with her.
At this time, not only Zheng Quchi thought so, but also all the road bandits were confused. Could it be that they all misunderstood that the little carpenter that Xing'an abducted was not prepared for their gangster den at all, but for himself?
Just when Zheng Quchi couldn't stand the breathless atmosphere, his heart broke out and he told him bluntly: "Actually, I married young..."
Just as he was about to speak, Xing'an took a deep breath and finally finished what he had to say: "...be a little carpenter."
Zheng Quchi: "..." The corners of his mouth twitched sharply.
The road bandits all twitched their eyes.
Xing'an suddenly remembered something, and he asked her with a smile: "You just said, why did you marry so early?"
Zheng Quchi tried his best to smile and said: "Actually, if I joined you earlier, I would have made a contribution to us earlier. Although I am not good at hands and feet, I can still do other things."
"Really want to join us?" Xing'an confirmed to her again.
Zheng Quchi said without hesitation: "I want to."
After she finished answering, Xing'an's eyes suddenly changed slightly. Although it was fleeting, Zheng Quchi did not miss it.
It was a kind of playfulness, bad taste, and inexplicably mixed with a kind of darkness that she couldn't understand, as mysterious and unknown as falling into the deep sea.
"Xing'an, people are here."
A road bandit responsible for investigation ran over from down the slope.
Xing'an turned his head, and his expression suddenly changed to a greedy and fierce look: "It's finally here. We are all ready. All that's left is that everyone should obey the instructions at any time and disperse!"
"yes."
At present, Xing'an and the road bandits each had their own arrangements and plans and scattered in all directions. Zheng Quchi saw everyone disappearing in the blink of an eye.
, then asked the mistress: "What about us?"
The mistress told her, "Of course we don't have to go, we just need to find a safe place to hide."
"B-But we just left like this? I think we should follow them..."
Before she could struggle, Xiaosan and Xiaoqi grabbed her arms and looked for a place to hide.
Along the way, the two of them were like headless flies, pulling her to a remote place, but Zheng Quchi had her own ideas. She had to find a way to leave a code to recognize Wang Zebang, and to leave a message for him. The location of the bottom bandits' lair.
"Wait a minute, the location over there is quite good, the view is good, you can hide and detect other people's movements in advance."
Zheng Quchi stopped them and pointed to a location. There were several hawthorn trees growing on a slope. The trees were surrounded by rocks. It was a good place to hide.
"Okay, let's hide there first."
The three of them hunched their backs and got behind the stone, and then pulled back the branches and leaves. They happened to be in a position where they could see the passage down the slope to the canyon.
It was already dark.
Not long after waiting, a group of people came from the west, holding torches. The number of people could not be clearly seen due to the dim light, but there were two carriages in front, surrounded by cavalry, and guards behind the carriages.
This doesn't look like an ordinary business travel team.
