The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Travelers must position themselves well.

Zhao Chuanxin positioned himself extremely accurately: a craftsman from the future.

Not a craftsman in heavy industry, not a giant in literature.

Therefore, he has neither political level nor bug-level technological means.

At this time, although the Westernization Movement failed and failed to stand up, this bloated and rotten behemoth was still lingering, waiting to take its last breath.

What can he do? Just rest, an ordinary person can do his best to save his ancestors.

All he can do is absorb nutrients and do his job well.

Moreover, even when it comes to rescuing his ancestors, he is currently dragging his feet and has not yet completed the set strategic goals.

Although Zuotianfanzi's group was wiped out, he was still alive and kicking after his brother took over the middle flower.

Therefore, his first consideration is to survive.

Therefore, isn’t it natural to learn from Carpenter Li?

Huh? I'm going around in a big circle in my head. It seems like I'm making excuses for stealing from my master?

Well, Zhao Chuanxin does not have such noble moral integrity.

He used to be a lazy person who was just getting along, and he's not much better now. You can't change what's in your bones!

Went to the city for some sweeping shopping, and loaded it on Carpenter Li's donkey cart, which was stuffed to the brim. Looking at the little donkey's body, Zhao Chuanxin was embarrassed to get in the car.

Carpenter Li waved: Come up and sit, it's okay.

Zhao Chuanxin's head shook like a rattle: No, I'll crush it. I'll be the one to suffer.

Carpenter Li was speechless.

This man is really weird!

When you get back, unload your things directly in front of the door.

After unloading the large and small packages, Zhao Chuanxin was so tired that he was sweating all over.

Wood glue, nails, lacquer, mat noodles, rice noodles, grains, oils and condiments...

Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baobao completed all the assigned tasks and even helped pull an oxcart of yellow mud, exceeding their quota!

In addition to toys, Zhao Chuanxin also gave each child a candy ball.

These past few days have exhausted these snot-nosed babies.

I heard that some children snore a little at night when they are tired.

Haha, when uncle I become rich, I will treat you to a feast!

Zhao Zhongyi looked at the debris on the floor: Why are you unloading this? Aren't you afraid of being robbed at night?

After saying that, the three of them were happy.

They killed all the thieves!

Zhao Chuanxin said: Didn't you see that I even bought a table and slept here today?

Precious, please bring the snack basket over and start the stove at my house later. Let’s have some dinner.

Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baobao looked at each other: It's just such a superficial understanding, can you stop making any fuss?

I made noodles, pork for sauce, braised potatoes, a hare bought at the market in the city, and shredded cabbage.

Watching Liu Guogui holding a kitchen knife, he was...

The cabbage was shredded quickly and accurately, and the garlic was chopped into fine pieces...

Zhao Chuanxin said in a sour voice, How come you have been a cook before, Baogui?

Liu Guoguo wiped his hands with a rag: Didn't I help in the kitchen? If I didn't cut well, I would be beaten. I have developed my knife skills.

Of course he didn't want to be beaten, so Zhao Chuanxin could only ask for advice and learn slowly. Are you a theoretical person? There is no shame in being a slow learner!

The three brothers are having a drink today and eating vegetables.

So much meat, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

Although your knife skills are not very good, the food you made is delicious and full of flavor! Liu Guobao picked up a piece of shredded cabbage with chopsticks and commented on it. It's just too extravagant. Be careful, otherwise you won't be able to get a wife. You see, I'm just saving up to wait for a wife.

Daughter-in-law? Zhao Chuanxin raised his voice: What do you want that thing for?

The two brothers looked at each other, okay, they drank too much again!

Zhao Chuanxin continued to speak loudly: Ah, I drank too much today. Brother, I am 50/50 with wine. I am drunk after one sip, and I am drunk after one glass! But no matter how drunk I am, I just won't fall down!

Zhao Chuanxin, who was still drunk after a long period of drinking, was carried onto the kang by the two of them.

…

The next day, the sky continued to be sunny and cloudless.

It's God's blessing to have a sunny day. If it's sunny for half a month, that's: Damn it, are you going to die from drought?

Even the water level in the river has dropped!

Unlike the sad faces of the adults at home, the little boy in the village came to Zhao Chuanxin's house happily.

In the past, the child at home was crazy and couldn't be found anywhere, so he had to shout at the top of his voice twice. It's okay now. If you go directly to Zhao Chuanxin's house, you will definitely be able to drag him home.

Popularity, that's how it comes about.

In this way, Zhao Chuanxin became familiar with the villagers.

Today he was still drying bricks. In addition to drying bricks, he also started building walls.

The mud bricks we got up early are completely dry and can be used directly.

Along the original wall, Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baobao helped dig a shallow foundation, and Zhao Chuanxin built directly upwards.

Liu Guoguo patted the hard yellow mud brick: This brick is well-made, and it also has pictures. You have such skills, and you will never be hungry wherever you go. Is this really the work of those little kids?

Zhao Chuanxin squatted down, laid bricks with a mud trowel, and carefully knocked them to align with the horizontal line. The brick surface with the deer pattern must be facing outward. He said cheerfully: Then there is still a lie, these boys are really awesome.

The snot-nosed kids who overheard their conversation puffed up their chests proudly when they heard this.

Zhao Zhongyi saw this, nodded and said, Brother, you are not only good at crafts, but also good at training children. Poor children have long been in charge.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head while working: You're wrong. Children of poor people learn things later. Children from rich families become rich early. The richest man, Niu Zihou, you see, his family is rich. He took over the family business at the age of fifteen and carried it forward. Children from poor families can’t do that. Far away, you’re looking at Defu. This kid has become much calmer recently. Now I think it’s no problem for him to manage a group of craftsmen.”

When Defu next to him heard this, his expression almost overflowed with pride.

Liu Guoguo exclaimed: Don't tell me that I haven't noticed yet. This guy used to have five people and six people, and he just barely had the word noble on his forehead. He is indeed much calmer now.

Defu snorted: We will treat each other with admiration after three days of separation!

Poof!

Zhao Chuanxin laughed out loud unkindly.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhongyi whispered: I'm leaving tomorrow. How about going up to the old forest to practice shooting tonight?

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly shook his head: There is no rush to practice the gun. I will wait for you to come back. At night, the movement is particularly loud and it is not safe. Besides, foreign guns cannot be practiced in a day or two. It will turn the world upside down. Son, don’t you just suffer this loss? In addition, I will take the time to do some research during this period to find a direction for our gun practice.

…

In the afternoon, we ran out of bricks.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to fish, sitting on the threshold and reading his diary.

【I left the mausoleum. 】

[With the hope of the forest elves, holding the lantern flower, I returned to the forest elves tribe without any danger. 】

[The forest elf met me last time. 】

[It said to me: Thank you stranger. You have brought new hope to our tribe. Please don't blame me, use the characteristics of the lantern flower to guide you to adventure in the mausoleum. I can't help it either. Who makes it impossible for us forest elves to blend in? 】

Zhao Chuanxin planted the Ming Deng Hua at the door, specially digging the fallen leaves from the mountain to cultivate it, and asked the little ones not to hurt or step on it. But he hasn’t been put to use yet!

He added a sentence in his diary: I said to it: I hope you won't deceive me next time, because I am very angry. What's the matter, can't you open the sky and speak openly?

Baby, can't I cure you?

[The forest elf looked ashamed and said: Stranger, I have a request, I hope you can agree. I need you to bring the various goods I have prepared for you, which are needed by my tribesmen who were captured as slaves, to the Great Tomb for sale. They won't doubt you. 】

Zhao Chuanxin quickly wrote with doubts: I ask it: Why don't they suspect it?

[The forest elf hesitated to speak, but finally said to me: Because humans are greedy creatures, just as greedy as those tribes. Greedy people will not doubt the greed of others! 】

Zhao Chuanxin was speechless and wrote: I am not greedy, I am a generous, clean and good young man!

[Forest Elf:...]

[The forest elf patiently said to me: I believe in your moral character. So, will you agree to my request? 】

[I have two choices. 】

[One, agree to it. In view of my understanding and noble conduct, the forest elves gave me two years of life as a reward. 】

[Two, I don’t agree. The forest elves will understand, after all, this involves certain risks. It comforts me. 】

In fact, every time you take a multiple-choice question, there seems to be some inducement. Zhao Chuanxin couldn't explain clearly. For example, this time, one transportation trip would give him two years of life. This made it difficult for him to say no.

So, every time he would choose the one with greater benefits. But he never knows whether choosing a choice that seems to have little or no benefit will trigger greater benefits?

He wanted to try it out.

If it really doesn't work, he can change his mind and maybe he can still reap the benefits?

This kind of heartbeat soon took over, overwhelming the heartbeat of two years of life.

I said to the forest elf: I'll think about it again!

[The forest elf expressed his understanding and comforted me. Then, it seemed to say casually: Stranger, in the battle between the nine tribes, the forest elves already have sufficient understanding of the other eight tribes. In addition to the Druids' secret technique of manipulating people's hearts, there are also the Ursine's methods of strengthening their bodies and increasing their physical coordination, the Birdmen's pocket technology, and the Beetles' armor that even our Elven carving knives have trouble piercing. For the time being, I can only talk about the secrets of these four clans. Each race has its own unique ability to settle down in the Shadow Forest. If I am willing to give you 20% of the transported materials and let you exchange them for rewards, and give you two years of life as a reward, are you willing to give it a try? 】

Zhao Chuanxin's heart was pounding.

He immediately wrote: I say: I do!

[The forest elf smiled triumphantly: It seems I was right, humans are indeed greedy. And you, stranger, are not a generous, clean and good young man. 】

Oh my God!

Zhao Chuanxin had the urge to slap this talkative guy to death. Was the trick so deep?
