After lunch, Xiao Feng said to the Martial Monks who were about to leave, "Does anyone here know masonry?"
"What masonry?" Hui Yi asked, not understanding.
Xiao Feng explained, "It's bricklaying."
Everyone looked at each other, and eventually turned their eyes to Hui Shisan.
Xiao Feng followed their gaze and asked Hui Shisan, "Do you?"
"I know the basics, but not things like using a line," Hui Shisan replied honestly.
"It doesn't have to be complicated. Just build a small pool that can hold five people against the wall, about 1.6 ters high, and then fill it all with mud."
"I can do that, but I have nowhere to get bricks and cent."
Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "I'll have the materials sent over. You just focus on the work, and the others will help you."
After giving the instructions, Xiao Feng headed to Zhao Guo'an's house next door.
He certainly wasn't doing this out of boredom, building a cent pool for fun.
This pool is ant for capturing prisoners.
For example, if we capture soone from the Devil's Concentration Camp, we can throw them in straightaway. It's even more effective than chaining them up.
No matter how skilled you are, once you're in there, you're a sitting duck, and escaping is wishful thinking.
Additionally, because of the limited height, people inside can't sit down to rest, which serves as a form of punishnt as well.
As for when it might be useful, that'll depend on the opportunity, but getting the pool ready first is never wrong.
As he stepped into the living room, Xiao Feng imdiately saw Zhao Guo'an sitting on the sofa, threading a needle and sewing a down jacket.
His focused deanor and raised orchid fingers really did give off a bit of a Dongfang Bubai vibe.
Xiao Feng was stunned for a while before he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Preparing protection!" Zhao Guo'an replied without looking up, then bit the thread off.
Xiao Feng looked left and right, but couldn't understand what this ant.
Zhao Guo'an put the needle into a storage box in the coffee table drawer and said, "My master, though old, is still very skilled. If caught, a good beating is inevitable.
So, I must prepare in advance. Even if it doesn't co in handy, it's better than getting beaten up."
"I'm curious about your protection," Xiao Feng got straight to the point.
Zhao Guo'an flashed a confident smile: "I sewed four steel plates into the down jacket. With the resistance of the down jacket and the steel plates, no matter how you hit, it won't hurt much.
By the way, Old Xiao, you're just in ti. Help test its protective ability."
With that, he stood up and picked up the down jacket.
"Oh wow, it's really heavy," Zhao Guo'an grunted, then gritted his teeth and swung the jacket up with force.
However, this action, which was just like putting on a regular jacket, had an unexpected effect.
"Sssss... Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The down jacket tore, and four steel plates fell to the floor with a grating noise.
"..." Xiao Feng.
This guy is seriously that unreliable?
Zhao Guo'an was equally dumbfounded; all those hours of ticulous preparation turned into a complete waste?
At that mont, urgent footsteps ca from the staircase, and Zhen Jinghan and Lin Zhiyan ca down hand in hand. Seeing Zhao Guo'an and Xiao Feng staring at each other bewildered in the living room, they asked suspiciously, "What happened?"
"You can ask him yourselves," Xiao Feng pointed to Zhao Guo'an, then walked over to the steel plates, crouching down to pick one up, and chuckled out loud.
Xiao Feng looked at Zhao Guo'an with utmost exasperation: "This thing must weigh at least three pounds, which makes the four of them twelve pounds. Did you not consider whether that layer of down jacket could hold?"
"Miscalculation, miscalculation!" Zhao Guo'an smacked his thigh in frustration: "Didn't think the 'protective clothing' wouldn't work and ended up wasting a down jacket."
At this point, Xiao Feng looked towards Lin Zhiyan at the stairway and asked, "How's Little Xuan Za doing?"
"Recovering well. Doctor Sun said she could be walking in a day or two," Lin Zhiyan replied.
Xiao Feng walked and said, "I'll go up and check if Little Xuan Za has grown taller. If not, wouldn't the suffering she endured be all in vain?"
However, before reaching the stairs, the doorbell rang.
Zhen Jinghan went out to check and found that it was Zhongli ng and Zhongli Chenpu, who had co by earlier in the morning.
Checking the ti, it was not even 2 PM, while the appointed ti was 3 PM.
After leading them into the house, Zhongli Chenpu greeted everyone, then handed a box in both hands, one to Zhao Guo'an and the other to Sun Shijie.
However, the box for Sun Shijie was very large, almost like a small chest.
"A little token of appreciation," Zhongli Chenpu said with a smile.
When Zhao Guo'an opened the box, he found a Jade Ring, with great quality and no visible flaws.
The most amazing thing was that with the refraction of light, the patterns on it seed to co alive, with nearly perfect visual effects.
And when Sun Shijie opened the small chest, he discovered a set of chess pieces made of white jade. After opening the wooden box, there was a chessboard inside. It was very delicate, giving it a sense of craftsmanship.
At this ti, Zhongli ng looked at Xiao Feng, "Mr. Xiao, please co outside with for a mont."
Xiao Feng nodded and followed her outside.
Seeing this scene at the staircase, Lin Zhiyan's expression changed in an instant, and she turned and strode upstairs.
Hmph, n!
In the yard, Zhongli ng took out her phone and said to Xiao Feng, "Could you give your account number? I'll transfer the two million first."
Xiao Feng shook his head, not showing any intention to give his account number or take out his phone.
Zhongli ng frowned slightly, thinking perhaps this guy was trying to negotiate?
However, Xiao Feng said, "Forget the two million, let's just call it making a friend."
"This..." Zhongli ng never expected him to say that, quickly explained, "Friends are friends, but we initially agreed to pay, so we must."
Xiao Feng shook his head again, "Since I said I don't want it, I really don't."
"Why?" Zhongli ng asked, puzzled, "Does Mr. Xiao look down on two million?"
Xiao Feng chuckled, "It's not that I don't need the two million, but I'm not so rich that two million seems insignificant."
In fact, those who knew Xiao Feng well knew that, let alone two million, even two hundred bucks would catch Xiao Feng's eye.
So, it's not that he doesn't care about two million, it's just not true.
"Then why?" Zhongli ng pressed further.
anwhile, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Could it be that he has...that kind of interest in ?
Thinking of this, Zhongli ng looked up at Xiao Feng, then quickly looked down, inexplicable red clouds appearing on her cheeks, srizing to behold.
Xiao Feng watched for a while before coming back to his senses and said, "If you want a reason, I admire your grandfather. Old Man Sun said that your grandfather led troops and fought battles for decades.
Such ancestors who have shed blood for the country, helping out naturally feels right, especially since I didn't exert that much effort in this matter."
"You..."
Hearing this explanation from Xiao Feng, Zhongli ng couldn't find the words to respond.
