"Looking for Uncle Dequan? Do you mean... that this was his instruction?"
Bai Xiaonan frowned again.
Xie Yu shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, once we meet, we will naturally have the answer."
As Xie Yu spoke, he said to Wang Yi and others: "Pack up and go back to the mountain first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
In this battle, only a few of the brothers from Baishi Village were injured, but none died.
Everyone casually buried the bodies of these people and left.
On the contrary, Xie Yu took the head of the poor man.
Returning to the village, Xie Yu asked someone to find a wooden box of lime and salt the head of the hemp man.
Then he went to fetch water and washed away the remaining lime with Bai Xiaonan.
After cleaning up, Xie Yu found the blacksmith Liu Dashan.
"How is the thing I asked you to make some time ago?"
Liu Dashan showed a hesitant expression on his face, and finally said to Xie Yu: "Mr. Xie, please come with me."
Followed Liu Dashan to an open space in the back mountain.
This was the place where the second master was responsible for guarding, and it was also the place where he betrayed the village, colluded with Yunying Village, and prepared to use this place as a breakthrough.
At this time, there are several more cylindrical iron lumps in this open space!
Xie Yu walked closer and stepped on these iron lumps with his feet.
“Mr. Too straight!”
"The most important thing is that when this thing was poured, it weighed too much!"
What are these iron bumps?
In fact, it is the simplest cannon barrel!
Given the current industrial level and conditions of Shanzhai, it is a bit fanciful to want to manufacture rocket launchers.
But there is still no problem in making the simplest smoothbore cannon.
The biggest difficulty with this thing is the barrel.
There is also the need to ensure the smoothness of the barrel and the hardness of the barrel so that the barrel will not explode during use.
As for gunpowder... whatever the formula is, Xie Yu knows it. As long as there are enough materials, he can definitely make a powerful weapon that surpasses this era.
Listening to Lao Liu's introduction to the problems encountered during the production of the cannon, Xie Yu also made constant suggestions to Lao Liu with reference to the existing conditions.
"It doesn't mean that these can't be used anymore. Let Li Daniu arrange some people and polish them hard!" Xie Yu said, "We can't let it go to waste, right? This one is worth several hundred kilograms at least."
Liu Dashan nodded while recording the technical points Xie Yu said.
It's not long since he came to the village. Liu Dashan felt that Mr. Xie was really a magical person.
He seems to know everything!
He has been a blacksmith for many years, and he knew simple hammering and quenching techniques that were not very difficult.
But following Mr. Xie, he was forced by Mr. Xie to become one of the only technical chief engineers in Baishi Village.
“Mr.
Xie Yu shook his head: "After the emergence of hot weapons, cold weapons will inevitably be eliminated. Even if they appear again in the future, they will only be restricted weapons selected for some special scenarios."
"I want to build Baishi Village into an impregnable fortress, so the weapons of Baishi Village must always be at the forefront of the entire era!"
Seeing Lao Liu's confused expression, Xie Yu knew that he had said too much.
He patted Liu Dashan on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Just do as I say!"
…
The next day, Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan came to Yingzhou City again with the wooden box containing Ma Ganer's head.
The Longhu Gang is not difficult to inquire about.
The two of them just picked up random people and inquired for a while, and then they got the location of the Longhu Gang's main hall.
Bai Xiaonan was eager for an answer, so she never thought about it. If Su Dequan really arranged the assassination, what was the difference between her coming to the door rashly like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Xie Yu seemed to have ignored this issue.
The two came to the main hall of the Longhu Gang.
It turned out that Su Dequan had been waiting here early.
And behind him, there was a row of people kneeling!
Young and old!
The youngest one looks to be five or six years old.
They all had their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths gagged.
After seeing Bai Xiaonan and Xie Yu come in, Su Dequan hurriedly greeted them, and then said with a guilty look on his face: "Xiaonan, just be okay! I was just going to find you!"
"I already know what Ma Gan'er did! I really didn't expect this beast to be so bold!"
"When I heard the news, I immediately asked people to tie up all of Ma Gan'er's family members! By the way, where are Ma Gan'er and the others?"
Bai Xiaonan said nothing.
Xie Yu put the wooden box on the ground.
After kicking the lid open with his foot, Ma Ganer's head was exposed to everyone.
"Woooooooo..."
Cries arose.
The group of people kneeling on the ground all looked at Ma Gan'er's head with sad faces.
In particular, an old woman over sixty years old was even more excited and wanted to rush over.
But the person behind her was already prepared. With just a push of his hand, the old woman was unable to move.
"Okay! Okay! Fortunately, my niece is fine. Otherwise, even if I kill this person and his whole family, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart?"
Su Dequan seemed really happy that Bai Xiaonan was safe and sound.
After saying this, Su Dequan waved his hand behind him: "Kill them all!"
Bai Xiaonan's eyes suddenly widened, and she opened her mouth subconsciously: "No..."
But how could the people from the Longhu Gang listen to Bai Xiaonan's orders?
Several men stabbed out the knives in their hands at the same time. The family members of Ma Ganer, who had just knelt on the ground, all fell in a pool of blood.
Looking at the sixty-year-old woman with a dead look on her face, and then looking at the five or six-year-old child lying on the ground twitching, Bai Xiaonan suddenly felt as if a breath was blocked in his chest.
"Listen, Xiaonan is my niece, just like my daughter! If you let me know in the future, if anyone dares to cheat on Xiaonan, I will kill his whole family!"
When Su Dequan threatened his men, he really shook the majesty of a gang leader to his fullest.
After his men cleaned up the bodies on the ground, Su Dequan also asked Bai Xiaonan about the business.
"Xiao Nan, how have you considered what your Uncle Ping told you yesterday?"
Bai Xiaonan looked at Su Dequan, and finally shook his head and said, "I haven't had time to think about it yet! After I went back yesterday, I kept thinking about whether Ma Gan'er led his men to sneak attack me. Was it Uncle Dequan who instigated it..."
"If I wasn't eager to know the answer, I wouldn't have rushed here in such a hurry."
Su Dequan showed a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face: "I have seen you since I was a child, and I treat you as my own daughter. How could I do this to you? Xiaonan, what you said is too disrespectful. Uncle Quan’s heart is broken.”
Bai Xiaonan nodded: "Now that I know that this matter has nothing to do with Uncle Dequan, I feel relieved. As for Uncle Ping... I need to discuss it with other heads. Just in the next few days!"
"I will give Uncle Ping an explanation as soon as possible!"
"OK!"
…
After leaving the Longhu Gang, Bai Xiaonan remained silent.
It wasn't until he was about to leave Yingzhou City that Bai Xiaonan said in a low voice: "Uncle Dequan has changed!"
Xie Yu smiled and said with a meaningful expression: "Maybe it's not that he has changed. It's just that you just discovered that he has changed!"
Bai Xiaonan looked at Xie Yu with a puzzled face: "What...mean?"
