Xu Rongfa made up this lie, and he thought it was seamless. Unexpectedly, because Ding Yi was able to help him raise money, how could he continue to deceive? Xu Rongfa was a little confused for a while.

"I'm going to find my father, you don't have to be careful. Ding Yi said.

"Wait, how can your family have so much money, I don't mean anything else, it's just ......" Xu Rongfa was really strange on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay time and see if he could come up with any more excuses. You can't let Xu Qian see these two guys.

"There are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, and Steward Xu is also a person who has spent a lot of time in Jiyun City, although our Ding family is now defeated, it used to be a big family in this Jiyun City, speaking of which, Xu Ji at the front door was still the property of our Ding family. Ding Yi said.

Xu Rongfa remembered that many years ago, someone really told him about it.

"Xiao Ding, don't be in a hurry to find your father, since this money can be borrowed from your family, I am also relieved, I didn't expect your Ding family to be a rich man, hehe, don't be in such a hurry, the second lady will not come so soon." You go to dinner first, and the money will be talked about when the second lady reconciles the accounts, ha. Xu Rongfa had to let these two people go down first, and then find a way.

"Then, tell me when you need money, I will ask my father to prepare this money first, you can ask for it at any time, and we will send it to you at any time. "I'm very happy to be able to help Steward Xu Ding Yi.

After Xu Rongfa and the two left, he couldn't help but feel worried again, what way should he come up with to make these two people leave Xu Ji temporarily.

When eating, Duoduo is of course concerned about Ding Yi's learning progress.

"Well, what's the catch?" asked Duoduo.

"Not yet, and I don't know why I can't get into the learning scene. Ding Yi said guiltily.

Put a piece of braised pork into Ding Yi's bowl, and Duoduo said, "Xiao Yi, let me talk about my experience." My first encounter with puppetry was when my brother and I were in Tucheng, a small city in the eastern part of the empire. Because of my body shape, every time Duowang went to work, he left me alone at home, and the children around me bullied me, so I didn't go out much every day, at that time, I was very lonely, and my biggest wish every day was to look forward to the sun going down soon, so that I could be with my brother. One day, Duowang picked up a puppet that had been thrown away, it was a puppet tin man, one of his feet was broken, and there was a wire attached to it, and his head was also smashed...... Duowang told me that this was his stand-in, and that he would let this tin puppet play with me when he was away. My parents are gone since I was a child, and it was Duowang who brought me up......" Duoduo thought of his brother who was far away, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"Where am I?" asked Duoduo.

"You said that Duowang picked up a tin puppet. Ding Yi reminded.

"Oh, by the way, the puppet doll, that's a puppet tin man, that's my first puppet toy, even though it's just a broken puppet, but I'm still happy, it's my first toy, it's a stand-in for Duowang. I also gave it the nice name 'Tole'. I didn't want my brother's stand-in to be broken, so I decided to fix it.

I carefully dismantled it, carefully removed every part of it, carefully observed each part, I found all the tool parts I could find, but I still couldn't repair Tole, and then I took Tole to a puppet shop in Tucheng and asked, and the guy in the shop said that it would cost at least thirty silver dollars to repair Tole...... I decided to fix it myself, and I spent those days studying Toraku, every part, every mechanism, every formation...... Ignoring Duowang's dissuasion and not afraid of the ridicule of others, I went to the puppet shop every day to watch, for which I was severely beaten by the shopkeeper......

But even so, I still go every day. Later, the store called the police, and the police officer of Tucheng, Lord Renzo, was very sympathetic to me, and he did not follow the advice of the puppet shop owner and expelled me from Tucheng, and he even gave me a copy of "Elementary Mechanics...... At that time, I was so focused on fixing Toraku that I didn't think about anything else......

I even stole my brother's meal money, which was my brother's food money for three days, to buy some parts. For this, Duowang and I had to drink gruel for a week......

I repaired Duo Le, and when Duo Wang came home one day, I showed Duo Le to Duo Wang, and that day was my happiest day, watching Duo Le walk freely on the ground, 'Bang Dang', 'Bang Dang' like a general on the battlefield, that feeling was more comfortable than eating any delicious food......

Later, I exchanged Tole for twenty silver dollars, because Dowang was sick, he was very sick, and we didn't have the money to get a doctor...... As Duowang's stand-in, Duo Le really saved Duo Wang's life that time, and I sold it to a puppet shop...... Tole left me forever, but I still hear the sound of 'clang' and 'clang' in my ears sometimes. ”

Ding Yi felt the same way, and at this time he was already in tears.

"Then why did you and Brother Duowang separate in the end?" Ding Yi asked.

"Because after that incident, Dowang found out that I had a talent for it, and he sent me to the puppet-making workshop and started my puppet-making career. I was only seven years old at the time, and I learned a lot in the workshop, and my teacher was a feather-level doll maker, and he was a stingy, greedy guy who was very harsh on us child laborers, and at the same time he was afraid that we would leave the workshop if we learned his skills. So a lot of the core technology is kept secret from us, but this is not difficult for me, I am the first to go to the workshop and the last to leave every day. I dismantled all the puppets he had made, then pushed back, figured out his tricks, memorized all the formations I could touch in the workshop, and finally I left the workshop, and in the end he didn't know that I had learned all the core techniques he thought were secrets. ”

"I am telling you this to tell you that there are two things that are the most important in the process of learning, one is enthusiasm, the enthusiasm for learning, the enthusiasm for knowledge, and the other is diligence, and the belief that is not discouraged. Xiao Yi, you are the smartest person I have ever met. But I have to say that often you smart people will have a problem, that is, you like to be opportunistic, but on the road of learning, as well as in many aspects of life, you can't be opportunistic, otherwise you will eventually fall on the road of life. Duoduo taught earnestly.

In fact, Wu Shuhui and Ding Zhaoding didn't know how much they said to Ding Yi, but Ding Yi never listened to them. Duoduo's words still touched Ding Yi a little.

In the afternoon, Ding Yi couldn't sleep with his head covered like in the morning, so he followed Jia Shiyuan and Lu Shiji to learn to make various mechanisms and arrays, although Ding Yi also memorized nearly 100 formations before and after, but in actual production, this kind of opportunity was the first time.

Lu Shiji graduated from the Formation Technical School, which is a specialized school located in Qilin City, as the only intermediate formation technical school in the seven southeastern provinces, this school itself is because the Qilin faction of the formation master Mo Ming is in Qilin City. And most of the teachers of this Southeast Formation School are also composed of members of the Qilin Sect.

The formation is a low threshold like the puppet technique, but it is not easy to cultivate everyone's knowledge. Being able to learn some formation principles and basic formation knowledge from Lu Shiji, a professional class, is what Ding Yi is looking forward to.

Lu Shiji also likes this child very much, because from this child, he can still vaguely find the shadow of his childhood. He was also a very smart prodigy when he was a child.

Ding Yi happily mingled with everyone, and he enjoyed such a working environment. While discussing some knowledge of formations with Lu Shiji and enriching his own opinions, he learned a lot of techniques and skills through practical operation. It turns out that the manufacture of the array plate is not simply to think that it is just to inlay some yuan stones, simply connect some wires, but also involve the knowledge of arrangement, drilling, cutting, plane geometry operation, material use, and so on.

Although Ding Yi has learned some of the formation knowledge by himself, he only knows a lot of things in the books in terms of practical operation, and he has to rely on some experience to complete it in practical operation. And there is also some knowledge that is simply not available in books.

According to the design of the parts, the puppet used in the mine has 26 nodes, that is, there are 26 array disks, each of which is different in size, and even the materials used are different, which are basically designed according to the biological characteristics of the shape of the bull.

Ding Yi studied very seriously, and even completed several formations alone. According to the gourd to draw the scoop, nothing new, the only thing is to increase his proficiency in the use of tools, Ding Yi has gradually become familiar with the whole process, Ding Yi gradually accelerated the pace of work. Not to mention that this is really a job that Ding Yi is more qualified for.

Ding Yi has a good memory, and can quickly remember the yuan stone and other materials in the workshop, the material, the plate, punching, sticking, cutting, splicing, stepping, polishing, grinding...... All kinds of processes Ding Yi have been carefully completed very well, his speed has gradually improved, the original Lu Shiji made three array plates, Ding Yi has not completed one piece, and later, Lu Shiji made three pieces, Ding Yi has been able to complete two pieces. This is because those tools are designed according to the size of an adult's hand, and Ding Yi is not so good at using them.

Jia Shiyuan is a very good person, he is one of the few technical talents cultivated by the family, he came from Leng Yancui, he has been in the family's workshop since he was a child, although he is self-taught, but he has rich work experience. He likes Ding Yi very much. is not only because of Ding Yi's early wisdom, but also because of Ding Yi's simplicity from a poor family.

In Jia Shiyuan's organ room, Ding Yi is even more like a fish in water, no more than learning formations with Lu Shiji, and there are some raw things, and the 'organ technique', which has been practiced countless times in Ding Yi's association world, is even more handy for Ding Yi to operate. In addition to the stiffness of the operation technique and the slight lack of operation experience, Ding Yi was completely able to keep up with Jia Shiyuan's rhythm, which made the two apprentices who followed Jia Shiyuan's helpers dumbfounded.

The two of them, who were still very hostile at the beginning, were a little resistant to this little boy who climbed above them by relying on 'little cleverness', and even had the mentality of being ready to watch Ding Yi make jokes, but they were slapped in the face. This little boy is a monster at all, not only is he familiar with the theoretical knowledge of 'tricks', he is proficient in mechanical principles, and he is a little involved in operation, this guy is no stranger to tricks at all. The point is that this little ghost has only come to Xu Ji for three days!
