My nemesis is pregnant, the baby is mine

Shen Mo stopped his movements, and just as he was about to put down his things, a hand suddenly stretched out and snatched the hexagonal box from his hand.

The man moved quickly, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by others first, and the other people looked at the man dissatisfied when they saw this, but after seeing the man's face clearly, everyone stopped their mouths and suppressed all their dissatisfaction Back in the stomach, it seemed that he didn't dare to make mistakes.

Shen Mo also looked over, the person who snatched his box was standing on his right.The man had gray hair and a goatee on his mouth, but his eyes were piercing. Shen Mo recognized at a glance that the man should also be an expert.

The trade of carpenter is different from other trades, and it is not difficult to recognize, simply because of the distinctive characteristics of carpenters.Anyone in their line of work who has been working for several years, not to mention the thin calluses on their hands, their bodies must not be much worse, especially their hands and feet must be strong, otherwise the ax and saw will not be able to swing it open.

After noticing the man, Shen Mo noticed that Mr. Hong was still standing beside him, and he also came.

"How did you put this thing in?" After looking over the box over and over again, the old man couldn't understand even though he could roughly see the outline.

Not to mention the top cover and the bottom of the box, Shen Mo simply made six wooden boards with strange corners on the entire wall, and then saw him knocking on the box and it was done.

Hearing this, the corners of Shen Mo's mouth curled up with a smile in his eyes, he didn't say anything, he just took the box and removed the cover, and disassembled the box as it was assembled.

After a while of ping-pong-pong, the box turned into a few wooden boards again.

The box became a part again, and people around took it and passed it on to see it. The thing spread, and the whole inn became lively again. Everyone was wondering what the structure of this thing was, and it could fit incomparably just because of the material itself.

This time, it was different from the previous one in Qi's workshop. Almost all the people here were from the industry. It didn't take long for those parts to spread out, and many people figured out the reason.

It's just that the more they figured out that the positions that Shen Mo had been chiseling and sawing before were the key to the entire box being able to be assembled together and fit perfectly, the more everyone was amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship.What kind of miraculous skill is it that can make such uncanny workmanship?

Everyone was overwhelmed with amazement and excitement, but in the crowd, Shen Mo still had the same smiling face as before. He quietly packed up the tools he had used, wiped off the wood chips and dust on them, and put everything back together. In the original place, he moved very carefully, as if he was treating his beloved with extreme tenderness.

Shen Mo's appearance made many people who noticed this scene feel admiration and curiosity, and felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious.

There was a smile in Shen Mo's eyes, but the pride and arrogance that gradually emerged in the depths of his eyes could not be understood by anyone except himself. Of course, these people would not understand, so how could they understand?

They wouldn't know that what Shen Mo used to make this box was just a simple dovetail tenon, one of nearly a hundred kinds of tenon and tenon. As for the hexagonal box, in his world it was just a thing for apprentices to practice their hands.

They don't even know that the skills that amazed them were created and used by their ancestors more than 7000 years ago. They have a nice name, they are called mortise and tenon joints.Mortise and tenon, their history is longer than Chinese characters, and they are the soul of ancient buildings and furniture in the world where Shen Mo lives. As long as they are used properly, only mortise and tenon without iron nails can support the entire huge building and make it stand for a hundred years. fall.

Thinking of this, Shen Mo couldn't help but feel a little more bitterness in his eyes, but it's a pity that time goes by and things change, and the things left by the ancestors still can't match the gears of the machines.

The skill of mortise and tenon joints has been lost a lot, and even the carpenter who lives in Shenmo's world is rarely done anymore. Maybe in another hundred years, no one will care about it, and it will be completely submerged in the torrent of history. Thinking of this, Shen Mo only felt dull and sore in his heart, but he had nothing to do and nothing to do.

When Shen Mo raised his head again, he could no longer hold a smile on his face. There was unwillingness to appear in his eyes, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.

"Which sect did you come from?" The old man who snatched Shen Mo's box at the beginning tapped his finger on the table, recalling Shen Mo's mind, he had asked twice.

Shen Mo suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and after a while, he smiled arrogantly, "Lu Jiaban, the school I joined is called Lu Jiaban."

Hearing that Shen Mo reported the sect, the people in the room were in an uproar again. They whispered to each other and asked what sect Lu Jiaban belonged to, but after asking around, no one knew.

In the confusion, Shen Mo took the parts of the hexagonal box on the table and held them up in front of him, and said in a voice that almost everyone could hear: "This is called a dovetail joint, and it is a connection method that uses the concave and convex parts of two wooden components to join together. , is a kind of mortise and tenon."

After Shen Mo's words fell, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they all asked what tenon and tenon are?What does Shen Mo mean when he said that the dovetail tenon is just one of them? Are there more tenons and tenons?

After Shen Mo's words, the room continued to sound like boiling water, and everyone's attention was focused on Shen Mo and Mortise, and no one even remembered that this was a gambler.

After a long time, when Shen Mo explained that his mouth was dry, everyone finally calmed down, and finally someone remembered that this was a gambler.

The three palm-eye slapped their heads and looked for the yellow crane one after another.

The winners and losers of this gambler are already self-evident, and Huang He and Bai Hao in the corner have already understood this point. Seeing that everyone finally remembered them, they stood up with ashen faces.

After all, Huang He has seen some things in the world, and knew that the situation was irretrievable, but he was secretly ruthless, but Bai Hao was dishonest, and kept yelling at Shen Mo for playing tricks, making everyone around him shake their heads, and in the end it was Huang He who slapped him in the end. calm down.

Bai Hao made such a fuss, not only lost his technical bearing, but also far inferior to others. Many people shook their heads and lamented that the Qin faction had declined, and only a few members of the Qin faction turned pale when they heard it.

Winning or losing came to an end, Shen Mo looked at Huang He and the others, but they were scheming, and he took the initiative to step forward, "What do you guys think?"

Several people were already in a bad mood, and when they saw Shen Mo coming up to make sarcastic remarks, they all gritted their teeth angrily.

"If you don't agree, how about we gamble again?" Shen Mo tempted.

Huang He and the others widened their eyes when they heard the words, and looked at Shen Mo in disbelief. Shen Mo wants to gamble again?

Huang He lost face and was depressed, before he could think about it, he responded immediately, "Okay, you said that!"

Shen Mo nodded, he stood with his hands behind his back, and the depths of his eyes were full of calculations with a smile, "Once a word is said, it is hard to follow, I will not regret it. But if you want to bet, you have to follow my rules."

"What rules?" Huang He asked.

Shen Mo smiled, "Since it's a gamble, it's natural to have a lottery."

He must have enough money, power and reputation to take back the Shen family's wood farm, otherwise he would not be able to continue running the wood farm even if he got it back.But before that, the first thing Shen Mo needs to do is to have a complete set of tools, so he puts his mind on Huang He, Bai Hao and the others.

"Before the appraisal meeting, we can compete again. If I lose, I will return the name card to you, but if you lose again, you must build a complete set of tools for me." Shen Mo said.

"Okay!" Huang He squeezed his words out between his teeth, he was already on the verge of riding a tiger, and he had no other choice at all.

Seeing that it was even worse, many people in the inn came forward to offer ideas and help define the venue and events for the next competition. Shen Mo was listening quietly when his clothes were suddenly pulled.

Shen Mo looked back, only to see Mr. Hong waving at him, letting him listen to him.

"What happened?" Shen Mo asked softly.

"I have to go back first. Just now, someone from the woodyard sent a notice, saying that the head of the house suddenly fainted." Hong Lao said.

Mr. Hong lowered his voice, this matter cannot be spread to the outside world, and the identification meeting will be held soon, if it is reported that Qi Yunshu fainted at this time, it will definitely cause panic.

"Is he sick?" Shen Mo was slightly surprised.

"I don't know, I just said it was fine and then I fainted suddenly, so I have to go and have a look." After saying hello, Mr. Hong went out, Shen Mo stared at his back for a while, and was called to go away Agree on the next game.

In the lumberyard, in the wooden shed for the loggers to rest, Qi Yunshu covered his mouth with a pale face. The faint smell of sweat and wood in the air made him almost vomit his stomach out.

"Master, why don't I go and invite a doctor!" The housekeeper who came with him was already blushing anxiously. Qi Yunshu said yesterday that it was just because of the wind and cold that he fainted today, and when he woke up, he vomited until his face turned pale.

Qi Yunshu's figure was already a little thin, but now his face is so pale, it makes people feel extremely painful.

"It's okay." Qi Yunshu stopped, "Pour me some water."

The housekeeper hurriedly poured a glass of water and passed it over. Qi Yunshu took a sip, but after taking a sip, he felt nausea again in his stomach. He was so nauseated that he quickly pushed the glass away and retched again.

This is what Hong Lao saw when he rushed over. He stepped forward and said, "The head of the house?"

"This matter must not be spread outside." Qi Yunshu's face was pale but his eyes were still sharp. Now is the critical moment.

"Yes, have you seen the doctor?" Elder Hong looked at the housekeeper.

"I'll talk about the doctor's matter later when I have time, and now the appraisal meeting is the main thing. By the way, how is Shen Mo?" Qi Yunshu seemed to ask casually, but he was very concerned in his heart.

"Win." Speaking of Shen Mo, Mr. Hong, who had not completely calmed down, immediately became excited. He told everything he saw and heard in the inn. When it came to Shen Mo's strength, Mr. Hong couldn't bear it Can't help but show some respect.

"Lu Jiaban?" Qi Yunshu searched in memory, but couldn't remember ever hearing this name.

"The head of the house cares about Shen Mo?" Elder Hong asked casually.

Mr. Hong didn't mean to talk about it, but Qi Yunshu's nerves tensed instantly when he heard the words, and his heart beat faster, "Why do you say that?"

"Since he came to work in the Qi family for more than a month, I saw that the head of the family has been paying attention to him, and I thought the head of the family liked him." Old Hong didn't find it strange, not to mention Qi Yunshu, he himself liked Shen Mo quite a lot.

Just as Qi Yunshu was about to refute, he seemed to think of something, and he unconsciously supported his lower abdomen with the hand hanging by his side. The next moment, when he noticed his movement, his face turned pale again, and his eyes became flustered.
