Chapter 401 Xu Laosan's bad love affair is coming
“Here!”
Xu Laosan finally understood that he was being tricked by his two nephews.
However, as an elder, he is generous.
Each person has ten cents and can buy as much candy as they want.
When Xu Laosan came back, he naturally had to tell Old Lady Xu about the incident at Huangfengkou.
This lecture took most of the day.
Hearing about the horror of the last battle, the women in the family were in tears.
Fubao was also quite sad.
Although she had never experienced all of this personally, her third brother only gave her a general idea of it, but she could imagine the carnage on the battlefield.
Fighting with cold weapons is no less brutal than fighting with hot weapons.
On the contrary, fighting with cold weapons is even more of a torture to human nature and human heart.
You have to face the blood, the broken limbs, the wailing and silent falls of your comrades around you.
"Fortunately, it's finally over!"
"No more fighting!"
Old Mrs. Xu sighed deeply.
During the time when Old Master Xu took Boss Xu and his brothers away from home, although she looked normal on the surface, if Fubao woke up in the middle of the night, she would find her mother tossing and turning, praying to God all the time.
Her mother is like this, and I think the families of the soldiers who are away on the battlefield are also like this.
However, some people will never be able to speak in front of their family again. Whether they are angry or laughing, it will only remain in memory and appear in dreams.
war!
As long as human beings exist in this world, it is inevitable.
Race, survival, greed, power, faith...
Once many factors are intensified to a certain extent and conventional means cannot maintain the balance, war will break out.
Wars have caused countless casualties.
However, no one will learn from the lessons, but will only sum up the experience and lessons learned in the war and improve their own military strength.
If a nation or a country loses its military power and stands still, then it is bound to be beaten or even destroyed.
Perhaps, from the moment war emerged, human history has forever had an indispensable factor.
"Second brother has captured the Northern Barbarian King alive. We shouldn't be fighting the Northern Barbarians again in the near future!"
Xu Laosan didn't know whether war would break out again suddenly. After all, it was the northern barbarians who started the war.
"I hope so!"
No one wants to fight a war. Even if you win, it will come at a heavy price.
Just like this time, facing the final charge of the Northern Barbarians, if Xu Laoer had not used his devilish reputation to luckily cut off the Northern Barbarian King's flag and interrupted the Northern Barbarians' charge horn, then Huangfengkou would have been breached.
Only then will all lives be destroyed.
"Little sister, the firecrackers we used are still too weak!"
After finishing talking to his mother, Xu Laosan thought of the firecrackers he and Fubao had made. If the firecrackers were more powerful, then the result might be different.
Xu Laosan even felt that he could recreate the power of heavenly thunder and earthly fire.
Well, even if it can't compare to the thunder and fire from heaven and earth, it's definitely not much worse.
"Third brother, how about you try the proportions of the various ingredients?"
"The paper my grandmother left behind seemed to mention that different ratios would result in different potencies."
"Yes, yes, I did mention it!"
Xu Laosan thought about it and nodded decisively.
The so-called gunpowder formula left by the grandmother was actually concocted by Fubao. Naturally, Fubao had the final say on what was on it.
As for the follow-up research, it is no longer up to Fubao to decide.
She only vaguely remembered that gunpowder seemed more powerful if it was made into small particles, and that the golden ratio could also increase its power.
Unfortunately, she doesn't remember anything.
As a good girl living in a peaceful era, Fubao was not very interested in these things. After all, she didn't know that she would actually encounter a time-travel gift package.
If she had known this day would come, she would have worked hard to learn various science and engineering skills.
Unfortunately, life didn’t know this earlier.
The people of Lingshui Village naturally learned of Xu Laosan's return very quickly. Similarly, the villagers also knew that the war was over and they no longer had to worry about the Northern Barbarians invading.
So, many families sent gifts to Old Xu's house.
After all, all the men in Old Xu's family went to the battlefield in this war.
Others are fighting for their lives on the battlefield to keep the world peaceful, so there's nothing wrong with them sending some things to their doorstep.
…
Anshun County, Yunchang Cosmetics Shop.
Yun was sitting on the stone pier in the backyard like a lady in a painting, gently stroking the jade zither.
"Miss, Miss!"
The maid Xiao Cui suddenly rushed in. "Miss, Xu Sanlang has returned from Huangfengkou. We won the battle. I heard that Xu Erlang even captured the Northern Barbarian King alive!"
"A lot of people on the street are talking about it, and some are even saying they're going to give gifts to the Xu family to thank them!"
"Tui Er, is what you said true?!"
After hearing Xiao Cui's words, Yun, who had always been extremely calm, finally lost his composure.
"It's all over the streets, it must be true!"
Xiao Cui was a little unsure, "Miss, what should we do? Since Xu Sanlang learned about the Yuan Dynasty, he has been visiting you much less often!"
"I was thinking, let's take it slow and steady."
"Now, the Xu family's fortune is even more ferocious than we imagined. We can't wait any longer!"
Yun stood up and said, "Cui'er, go pack up and prepare some gifts. Let's go to Lingshui Village!"
"Now?"
"Yes, let's go now!"
Yun took a deep breath. "I've finally figured it out. I don't know how long it will take for Xu Sanlang to take the initiative to clarify the matter between us. In that case, I will condescend to visit Lingshui Village in person!"
"Miss, is it really appropriate for us to go now?"
"I heard that the old man of the Xu family and Xu Sanlang's two brothers haven't come back yet!"
Xiao Cui whispered, "If we go now, won't it seem like we're forcing the emperor to abdicate?"
"No matter when we go, it will be like forcing the emperor to abdicate!"
Yun sighed, "From the day you were sent to approach the Xu family, you should have known that we couldn't escape this day."
"But, I heard that the old lady from the Xu family is not easy to mess with!"
"That depends on my methods, your lady!"
Yun spoke slowly, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she added, "No, no, we shouldn't come here like this at this time. We should try another way!"
"What do you mean by another way?"
Xiao Cui blinked, confused.
Yun smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you just say that someone was going to give a gift to thank the Xu family?"
"Yes, I heard the owner of the silk shop next door say that. He even asked the counter to prepare the best satin!"
"Then, let's go give gifts too!"
Yun's lips curled up slightly, "Some things she should always put out in the open."
