Chapter 70: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
I don’t blame Cunning Rabbit Three Burrows, I just blame this society for being too insecure!
I wish I had thought too much and never come to that day!
Ding Dong and Ding Xi helped Ding Rui sleep. After a busy day, the two of them closed their eyes and fell asleep on the stools in Ding Rui's outer room.
Ding Rui didn't hear the sound of closing the door and looked sideways, and saw that the two brothers were already fast asleep from exhaustion. Ding Rui was happy and distressed at the same time. He was still in elementary school in the 21st century, but now
... ...
"Didn't I prepare a room for you? Go down and sleep!"
As soon as Ding Dong fell asleep, he woke up immediately when he heard Ding Rui's voice. He stood up immediately and felt a little at a loss.
"Go down, I'm not used to sleeping with others!"
Although they only got together for half a day and there was no deep relationship, Ding Rui still couldn't let the two children help him keep vigil at night.
At this time, Ding Xi also woke up. The two of them couldn't get rid of Ding Rui despite repeated requests, and finally agreed to sleep in the side room.
After the brothers left, Ding Rui had a dreamless night's sleep.
Ding Rui opened his eyes, and the room was dark. After a while, he adjusted, and counted the time. Mao hour had just arrived. He got up with his shawl coat, opened the window, and felt a cool breeze blowing in his face. Ding Rui shuddered, and subconsciously pulled the
He pulled up his clothes and wrapped himself tightly.
Scattered light rain fell outside the window. Ding Rui took a deep breath of cold air and exhaled. It felt like all the turbid air from the night had been spit out, and he suddenly felt much more refreshed.
Lighting the oil lamp, Ding Rui started his morning exercises.
It has been almost two years since I came to ancient times, and my originally weak body has gradually become stronger due to Ding Rui's unremitting exercise.
Although Taekwondo is not as good as before, he has learned many martial arts from different schools in the past six months at Taoli Academy. The one that gives him the most sense of accomplishment is "Five Bird Fist".
This "Five-Animal Fist" evolved based on the shapes of five animals: tiger, lion, eagle, snake and mantis. It is remarkable both in terms of attack and defense. It is completely different from that of the 21st century.
In addition to "Five Birds Boxing", there are also internal and external boxing. Ding Rui's external boxing is so-so, while internal boxing is only taught to disciples of his own sect. Ding Rui doesn't want to join any sect for the time being, so he doesn't learn it.
All his attention and time are devoted to Taekwondo and "Five Animal Boxing". Ding Rui believes that there are specialties in martial arts, and it is better to master one or two than trying to learn everything.
Because of his concentration and focus, he learned these two martial arts very well, laying a solid foundation for the future.
After warming up and doing the Wuqinquan twice, there were waves of slight noises coming from outside. Although they were already very light, Ding Rui still heard them.
Ding Rui identified it and confirmed that the sound came from Ding Dong and Ding Xi's rooms.
Ding Rui looked back and saw that the lights in Ding Dong and Ding Xi's rooms were already on. From the shadows reflected in the room, it could be seen that the two were practicing martial arts. Ding Rui was curious and climbed to the window to watch for a while.
Ding Dong and Ding Xi’s boxing techniques were powerful and powerful. Ding Rui had never seen such a routine before. Ding Rui thought for a moment. China is a vast country with vast resources and a large population. There are more than a thousand boxing techniques alone. Each school has its own style. He has never seen it before.
It's normal. After watching it for a while, he felt it was boring and continued practicing.
At Chen time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Although the sky was overcast, it was already dawn.
The leaves on the tree fell to the ground. Two old ladies wearing raincoats were cleaning up the fallen leaves with brooms in their hands. They waved the brooms and the leaves obediently drifted in one direction.
"Owner."
Ding Xi has already filled up the face wash.
Ding Rui brushed his teeth with fine salt wrapped in cotton cloth, drank a large glass of warm water, and then began to wash his face.
I use 'Xiangjizi' to wash my face, which is a bit like today's soap. This is a truly green, natural, pollution-free product. After washing my face, I feel much refreshed, and there is still a faint soap scent on my face.
The rain is getting heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
A muffled thunder rumbled from the east to the west. The entire sky glowed red.
Ding Rui had just finished breakfast and was staring at the piece of paper on the table in a daze.
As far as he knew, there were five major steps in making paper: chopping bamboo and floating it on the pond, boiling the wood in enough water, pouring the material into the curtain, pressing the paper over the curtain, and drying it in the fire.
He still remembered what the history teacher said before: a piece of paper needs to go through 72 processes such as water soaking, lime retting, fermentation, cooking, spreading, sunlight bleaching, beating, and papermaking. It is produced according to this process.
Paper can last for 200 years as long as it is stored properly.
As for the specific operation, he has no idea at all. It would be great if he had a computer. Baidu has everything.
The reason why Grandpa Wu’s paper failed was that it was too hard and yellowed. He couldn’t help at this point. He sighed and put the paper down.
"Young master!"
Li Si and Niu Er came over immediately after breakfast.
Li Si's hair was soaked by the rain and hung down on his forehead. Ding Rui threw the cotton towel on the table to him.
"Dry your hair before we talk!"
Li Si smiled innocently. He was quite happy with the young master's care. Then he wiped his hair carelessly with a towel a few times.
"Dingxiang's brother will be able to clear out the store at the end of this month. It will take a month to decorate the store. The craftsmen are already on the way."
"Is it Zhang Xuan?" Ding Rui stared at the heavy rain outside the window and suddenly missed his days in Zhangjia'ao.
"Yes. There are also Zhang Xuan's father Zhang Jiangqi and his uncle Zhang Jiangba."
After Li Si had done his hair, Ding Xi took the towel away, washed it and hung it up.
"Zhang Xuan's uncle?" This was the first time Ding Rui heard about it.
"Shaodong's family, Zhang Xuan's family is a family of carpenters. Among his father's generation, his uncle Zhang Jiangba is the most capable, followed by his father Zhang Jiangqi. The others only take some small jobs to support the family, which is a problem.
."
Niu Er then said:
"Zhang Jiang left Zhangjia'ao for Qiuze County eighty years ago, so you haven't seen him. In addition to being a good carpenter, he is also good at building houses. So Uncle Zhang asked him to help us with other shops.
He decorated them all.”
Ding Rui nodded. It was rare to find someone who knew the basics and was good at craftsmanship. He felt at ease with the person Uncle Zhang invited.
"How many days until they arrive?"
"As fast as three days, as slowly as five days!" Niu Er answered while observing Ding Rui's expression.
It seems that I can no longer see Zhang Xuan, and I don’t know how he has changed in the past six months? Ding Rui took a sip of tea, looked at the tea leaves in the cup, and remembered the first hot sip he took when he first arrived in Zhangjia’ao.
The water still came one by one.
"How is Uncle Zhang doing lately?"
Li Si and Niu Er were silent. Their eyes were looking around but they didn't dare to look at Ding Rui.
Ding Rui put down his tea cup and asked sharply:
"Say! What happened? Li Si said."
Li Si was called out and felt a little embarrassed. His words were not as good as Niu Er's, and he was not as good at speaking as Niu Er, so he didn't know how to speak for a while.
When Niu Er saw that he was not clicked, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That, that..." Li Si couldn't get any results for a long time, and suddenly broke into a sweat.
"Niu Er, tell me!" Ding Rui was obviously impatient, and his tone was a bit harsh, but he was not angry yet. But the aura emanating from his body made everyone feel more stressed.
"Uncle Zhang never found a suitable store, so he got angry when he got anxious, so he became ill!"
Niu Er took Ding Xi's kettle and refilled Ding Rui's water, and looked at Ding Rui's expression.
I can't find even a single store in Qiu Ze County? Is there someone who is sincerely obstructing me? Although Uncle Zhang is a loyal and honest man, he is not alert enough. It seems that someone is sincerely trying to set a trap for him.
What a talent!
