Wei Chi Jingde was standing at the door, and when he saw Zhen Mingku, he glanced at the things he was holding in his hand, and looked at him with a confused expression: "Are you ready?" ”

Zhen Ming nodded bitterly: "Ready." ”

"Let's get started."

Zhen Ming walked slowly to the stone lion, tied the stone lion around with a rope, and hooked the strange little iron wheels to the rope.

There are about a dozen hooks in total, from the head of the stone lion along the back to the tail, evenly arranged in a straight line.

The iron wheel has an iron hook at the top and bottom, and it is so delicately crafted that it can be seen that it was made by a skilled craftsman.

Everyone watched Zhen Mingku doing all this inexplicably, and they didn't know what he was going to do next.

Wei Chi Jingde's face gradually became solemn, although until now he didn't know what this thin young man wanted to do, but he faintly felt that these things that Zhen Mingquan did were not tricks, this young man gave him a very strange feeling, he couldn't tell the truth, it was a spiritual thing, and it had nothing to do with strength.

He had a gut feeling that anyone who underestimated this person might have to fall on his heels.

He regretted a little that he had just agreed to Zhen Mingku's request to go into the blacksmith shop to find some materials, and the strange wheel in Zhen Mingku's hand was not something in his shop, it was obviously just created.

To be able to create so many strange wheels in just half an hour is enough to be an ordinary craftsman in a blacksmith's shop.

Wei Chi Jingde silently watched Zhen Ming who was not far away and was busy living, and his face did not have the contemptuous expression just now.

Zhen Ming tied the stone lion hard, and set up two tripod wooden frames with a few logs prepared, placed them at both ends of the stone lion's head and tail, and erected a thick wooden beam on top of the two triangular wooden frames.

"Is he going to dry his clothes?" There was a lot of talk around, and some people even laughed out loud.

Zhen Mingquan was not in a hurry, and tied the remaining dozen wheels to the beam between the two tripods in turn.

When he had done all this, he squatted on the ground, scratched on the ground with a branch, wrote a few formulas that others could not understand, drew a few drawings that others could not understand, stood up when he was done, and wound the last hemp rope in his hand around the lion and the round wheel on the beam, according to the circle drawn on the ground.

After a while, everything was ready.

He turned around, smiled at Wei Chi Jingde, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "You can start." ”

The pillar laughed from the side: "He doesn't want to hang the stone lion with a rope, does he?" This kid is really stupid, he probably doesn't even weigh 100 catties, but he wants to hang a 400-pound stone lion, he's afraid he's not crazy, right? Hahaha......"

"Pillar, shut up!" Wei Chi Jingde snorted, he didn't understand what Zhen Mingku was doing from beginning to end, but he didn't think that Zhen Mingku would be stupid enough to use his own weight to hang the stone lion, this young man didn't look stupid, and seeing his confident appearance, it seemed that he was absolutely sure that he would lift the stone lion up alone.

He vaguely guessed that those iron wheels were not simple.

He stared at Zhen Ming bitterly for a long time, then nodded: "Let's start." ”

Zhen Mingku didn't say much, turned around, walked to the stone lion weighing more than 400 catties, and grabbed one end of the rope with one hand.

I saw him gently pull the rope and wrap the rope around his arm.

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, as Zhen Ming pulled the rope hard, the stone lion of more than 400 catties slowly left the ground and rose more than one meter high.

The triangular wooden frame supported on both sides squeaked because of the heavy load, and the originally straight beams on the wooden frame were also pressed into an arc by the weight of the stone lion.

And Zhen Mingku, except for his blushing face and coughing a few times, did not show a trace of difficulty.

Including the pillar who laughed at Zhen Ming's bitterness just now, everyone was stunned.

The scene in front of them was beyond their comprehension.

It wasn't until Zhen Mingku slowly put down the stone lion that the crowd let out an exclamation and applause.

The fat dragon in the crowd was so excited that his fat body trembled, grabbed the person next to him, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and shouted: "This is what Brother Zhen said, four or two thousand catties, four or two thousand catties, Tai Chi!" It must be Tai Chi! He's my brother and I know him! ”

The applause rang out, and Wei Chi Jingde also recovered from the shock, walked to Zhen Mingku's side, and quietly looked at Zhen Mingku, who was a head shorter than him.

After a long time, I asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Zhen life is bitter."

"Welcome to the Weichi Blacksmith Shop."

……

At night, the ruined temple by the Luo River is bustling.

Feilong and his fellow villagers sat around the fire, on which a little fat sheep was roasting, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Feilong held a tael of white flowers and silver given to him by Zhen Mingku, and was so excited that he was almost speechless, one tael of silver was exchanged for copper coins is a thousand copper coins, two hundred bowls of Zhang's soybean milk, even if he drinks two bowls a day, he can drink for three months, and one or two silver is an astronomical amount for a beggar who lives by begging.

The fat dragon trembled in his voice: "Brother Zhen, you don't need so much, don't you still have to see a doctor, you can keep it and buy some tonic medicine for yourself to replenish your body." ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly: "These are the rewards you deserve, I also want to thank you for helping me build such a warm, sheltered wooden house, tonight everyone eats with an open stomach, from tomorrow, I will go to the blacksmith shop to work, this built house, just for you to use, I am inconvenient to move now, and I want to go to the blacksmith shop to start work, thinking about renting a house near the blacksmith shop, Feilong, you are more familiar with Luoyang, take me to find a house with cheaper rent tomorrow." ”

Feilong hurriedly said: "No problem, Brother Zhen, if there is anything, you just need to open your mouth, we people can't do anything else, but we can find out the news, help find people, find a place, I dare to pack tickets, no one in Luoyang City is better than us, you can find a good house with a very cheap rent." ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance, come, let's drink wine in a big bowl tonight, eat meat in a big piece, put all the unpleasantness behind in advance, and have a good drink!"

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

Eating roast sheep and talking about all kinds of interesting things happening in Luoyang City, Feilong was already slightly drunk, holding a bowl and constantly pulling Zhen Ming's bitter cup.

"Brother Zhen, you are really majestic in front of those people today, don't you know, those people in the Weichi blacksmith shop are all guys with high eyes, and they usually don't even glance at us, and we are not as good as a piece of shit in their eyes, so you can convince them! Give us a hard breath! You don't know, when you lifted the stone lion with one hand today, those people's eyes were straight, and they only stared dryly, which was so happy! Ha ha! This is what you told me about the four or two thousand catties of Tai Chi, right? ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This has nothing to do with Tai Chi, it's just a few pulley sets." ”

"What is a pulley?"

"I can't explain it to you clearly for a while, I'll talk to you in detail when I have time, I drank too much tonight, my brain is a little sleepy, I can't hold it, go to sleep first, you drink with them for a while, don't save me money, sleep here tonight when you're drunk, don't go back, take me to find a house tomorrow."

"Wrap it up on me!"
