Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Now there is a little carpenter in the family. The carpenter has bad legs and certainly cannot go up the mountain, so he just does some carpentry at home.

He and Master Bai shuttled through the woods, selecting suitable wood.

The wood needs to be hard, such as oak or hickory, so that it is tough enough after being sharpened and not easy to break.

The young carpenter took out the dagger he carried with him, sharpened one end of the wood, and after digging the hole, he just put the sharpened tip of the wood facing upwards.

To better hide the trap, they collected branches, leaves and weeds from the surrounding area and gently covered the pit mouth with them, making it look no different from the surrounding ground.

But if someone comes to steal something, they will be directly stabbed by the wood.

Zhao Qiaoniang and her companions still went to the mountains, but it was Naitang who led the way.

Cui Ya looked at the mouse curiously and said, "Ah! Why did this mouse follow us?"

Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and said, "Don't underestimate it. If it weren't for it last night, we wouldn't know the way back."

"Ah? So it was it that took us to town last night? You're so awesome, little mouse!" Cui Ya looked at the mouse and smiled, "Where are you taking us now?"

The mouse kept sniffing something, and suddenly it stopped and disappeared somewhere. After a long time, it came out of a hole, followed by several other mice.

Mulan said, "Ah! What does this mean? Aren't these all his minions?"

The mouse led them forward, and after a while, they heard a human voice: "Oh! This meat smells so good!"

"It's really fragrant. You know what, this kid's meat is different."

"Hahaha... We are quite brave, but this meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes much better than mutton."

Cui Ya, Mulan and Zhao Qiaoniang were trembling with fear. Are these people eating human flesh?

Cui Ya was so scared that she pressed herself against the wall, covering her mouth tightly.

Mulan and Zhao Qiaoniang hugged each other and looked into the stone house. These people should be the bandits from before. They never thought that the rats would bring them here.

Naitang squeaked a few times, turned around and entered a room at the back. The door of the stone house was open, and it turned out to be the residence of a bandit.

Naitang squeaked a few times, and when Zhao Qiaoniang came to her senses, she saw an axe, two machetes and two bags of grain in the room.

The three of them hurriedly put these things into their backpacks and wanted to leave.

Naitang squeaked a few more times. Zhao Qiaoniang looked back and saw that there was a silver coin and hundreds of copper coins lying quietly in a money box.

Zhao Qiaoniang quickly found a bag to put the things away and also took a cotton jacket.

A group of people ran down the mountain. They followed Naitang and ran all the way. They ran for a long time before stopping.

Zhao Qiaoniang patted her chest and said, "I'm so scared, so scared! We actually walked into a bandit's lair today."

Cui Ya's heart was pounding. "Do you think those bandits will find us?"

Mulan shook her head and said, "Those bandits would never guess that we were the ones who did this."

This bandit's lair was built very secretly. If it weren't for Naitang today, they would never have found it.

Zhao Qiaoniang patted them and said, "Okay, stop talking so much, let's divide the money first..."

Just as she was about to take out the money, Mulan held her hand and said, "Sister, please don't take it out. If you dare to take it out, we will no longer recognize you as our sister."

Cui Ya also looked at her and said:

"Sister, from now on you are my real sister, I understand now.

These are all thanks to your rats. How can we have the nerve to take them?"

The trap set yesterday was probably led to them by this mouse. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them and said, "Okay, I'll keep the money for you."

The three of them slowed down and then started wandering around in the mountains, but this time they only found a few wild fruits and some water.

They simply picked up the bamboo tubes from their backpacks and filled more than 30 of them before returning to the camp.

Master Bai and the carpenter had almost finished tinkering with it. Master Bai said:

"We've put a few rows of wooden nails around the area, so if anyone wants to attack us, it won't be easy for them.

And these wooden nails can be taken with you at any time."

Lin Wanwan felt that Master Bai was indeed very powerful, and she felt very safe with him around.

Zhao Qiaoniang took out an axe from her backpack and said, "Do you think this axe is handy?"

Master Bai was shocked: "Where did you get this...this axe?"

Zhao Qiaoniang coughed and said, "We got lost in the mountains, and then we ran into the same gang of bandits, so we...we just walked around the room..."

"Ahem...ah?" Master Bai stroked his beard and said seriously, "It's not a big deal. Those bandits aren't good people. It's only natural to take their things. We need these things more."

The young carpenter rubbed his hands and said:

“I plan to make a unicycle, but I don’t know if I can make it.

I’ve seen my grandfather do it a few times before. If we can make a unicycle, our journey will be much easier.”

Lin Wanwan lay on the Ula grass and looked at the little carpenter. The little carpenter had delicate skin and tender flesh. If he were in modern times, he would be considered handsome and might even become a little star.

Unfortunately, this happened in ancient times, and women living at the bottom of society preferred rough men who could work in the fields.

After all, being able to eat enough is important these days, and of course there are also people who like to read.

However, there is an old saying that those who are loyal are mostly butchers, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars. I don’t know what the scholars in ancient times were like.

It seems that Master Bai is a good person. When her mother goes up the mountain during the day, Master Bai will teach the children to read and write when he is free. He is even willing to teach Mulan's daughter.

This made Lin Wanwan very happy. When she grew up, she would be able to learn to read from Master Bai.

Zhao Qiaoniang laughed when she heard the carpenter say this: "If we really had a wheelbarrow, that would be great. We would have a place to sit for our things and the children."

The young carpenter blushed and said, "We have already cut the wood today. Let's try it later."

Mr. Bai and the carpenter had a clear goal: to accommodate miscellaneous items and children.

The two men first set about making the wheel.

They selected hard wood and carefully cut it into circles. This was a delicate job that required constant trimming to ensure that the roundness of the wheel was as perfect as possible.

They began by digging a hole in the center of the wheel, and then they began to make the skeleton of the unicycle.

Also choose strong wood and cut it according to the designed size.

The various components were then connected using rivets. Although this ancient connection method was not as strong as modern screws, it was one of the most reliable methods at the time.

The rivets need to be hammered in one by one, and each hammer is accompanied by a crisp sound.

Mr. Bai and the carpenter divided the work, one was responsible for fixing the parts and the other was responsible for hammering the rivets.

While they were working, they discussed ways to improve the product. In just one night, a simple unicycle finally took shape.

They carefully checked every connection point to ensure that there were no loose parts.

They then installed a crude platform on the frame to hold groceries and the children.
