Chapter 175 [Ingenious workmanship]
Seeing the Han brothers' eyes with admiration and amazement, the man in black explained vigorously: "Two uncles, this is just one of them. He can also make a wooden beauty who can accompany you to practice boxing and dance for you. As long as the two uncles want it, we can do it..."
He looked very confident on his face, and it was obvious that the things he said were not difficult to him.
Han Mo pondered, and suddenly asked with a smile: "In this way, you naturally understand the secrets of the mechanism and know more about making wonderful tools for killing people?"
The man in black suddenly changed color, and even the carved silly boy raised his head, with a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes, but just glanced at Han Mo, lowered his head and continued to do his job.
"Uncle is joking!" The man in black quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "We brothers can't make these funny things, but we don't know how to make other things. If you think this craft is good, you can buy two items to play with. This... is not expensive!"
Han Mo took out a silver note from his arms and put it in the hands of the man in black, saying, "The silver is yours. Please help me put ten gadgets in it and make up the amount of a hundred taels of silver!"
The man in black was stunned and asked, "You want to buy something worth a hundred taels of silver?"
Han Bin also said, "Xiao Wu, although these things are novel, just bring two or three pieces with you. Don't have that much, right?"
"Since it's a novel thing, it's natural that the more it is, the more it is." Han Mo smiled and said to the man in black: "Let's go out and wait for you, and after you have finished it, put it on us, and we'll take it back." Without saying much, he took Han Bin out of the door.
The house was filled with the smell of wood, and it suddenly came out and took a deep breath and it was very comfortable.
Han Bin looked back at the simple hut and said strangely: "There are not many places in Yanjing City that I have never been to, but this place has never been there. I didn't expect that there are such things here, and I have never heard of them in Beijing."
"This is the place where poor people live. How could you, the third young master, come here?" Han Mo laughed, approached Han Bin, and whispered: "Third Brother, have you seen the guy holding the knife?"
"That guy like wood?" Han Bin asked softly: "I see that he can't do anything other than carving wood. He looks very stunned."
Han Mo shook his head gently and whispered: "With that skill in killing people, that's the real knife hand!"
"Blade hand?"
"Yes." Han Mo said softly: "You must have heard of the silly boy cutting the ox. I don't think the knife skills of this silly boy may be weaker than that silly guy!"
"It's just a little skill, nothing." Han Bin disagreed and shook his head with a smile.
Han Mo said seriously: "Third brother, have you not seen the wooden man he carved? Not to mention facial features, siblings, even the joints everywhere are extremely realistic. That is because he has a profound study of the human body, so he has such skills and attainments. Since he knows the human body well, he naturally knows the weaknesses of the human body. In addition to his precise knife skills, do you think he does not have the ability to have a knife hand?"
When Han Bin heard Han Mo's analysis, he nodded and said, "Yeah, that's the reason." He suddenly understood something and whispered: "Xiao Wu, don't you want to bring these two people back to the mansion and follow you?"
Han Mo shook his head and said, "Their skills, according to common sense, will never fall to this point. Since they have reached this point, it can only mean that they are willing to exchange their skills for rewards, rather than using their own means to seize them. Such people always have something to stick to in their hearts. Third brother, you have also seen that with their skills, as long as they walk to the door of the nobles, they will definitely be included in the door. Even if they don't have a bright future, they can be guaranteed for wealth and wealth, but they didn't do that, which means they will not easily be under anyone's door, including you and me!"
Han Bin said regretfully: "It's a pity. Otherwise, it would be great to take it back to the mansion and let them make two things to make fun of when they are bored. What a pity!"
When Han Mo heard this, he gave him a blank look. However, Han Bin wanted to take these two characters back to the mansion as a servant, which was really a waste of time.
After a while, the man in black came out with a bag of things and said, "Two uncles, the things in it are rare toys. If there is any problem, you can come back to find us at any time."
He put the bag on the horse's back, looked at Han Mo, and clasped his fists and said, "Mr., you are willing to help our brothers. We are not ungrateful people. I have recorded this friendship."
Han Mo smiled faintly and suddenly asked, "If you don't mind, I wonder if you can know your name?"
The man in black smiled and said, "It's just a civil servant, and he dare not have the ears of a dirty man!"
Han Mo said "oh" without asking questions, and then signaled to Han Binyi. The two of them urged their horses to leave this not-so-funny place.

......
The man in black saw Han Mo and the others walking away, and then returned to the house and closed the door.
The silly boy raised his head, glanced at the man in black, and asked, "How long will it take? Should we leave here?" His voice was calm and flat.
The man in black sighed and said slowly: "This time there will always be a decree, and a new commander will always arrive. Let's wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?" said the silly boy, "Do you think there will be a senior like Gong Yan? Today, your thoughts have not been cut off?"
The man in black sighed: "This is Mr. Gong Yan's hard work after all, we can't just give up like this."
The silly boy was silent, and after a long time, he said: "If this time someone who is still an unknown person comes to control us, I will really leave."
"Yes...!" The man in black sighed softly and said helplessly: "Everyone has been waiting for four years, and it's too late. If it doesn't work this time, everyone will disperse." He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Actually, no one will pay attention to us now. If it weren't for Mr. Gong Yan's hard work, if it weren't for Mr. Gong Yan's favor to us, we wouldn't be able to hold on to what we are today."
There was a silence in the house, and only the smell of wood was still permeating the room.
"Actually...!" The silly boy stopped talking, and finally said: "In fact, even if there is another person like Gong Yan, what can we do? We still cannot control our own destiny and still have to do things that are contrary to our temperament." He looked at the sharp carved wooden knife in his hand and said softly: "He can make a living person lose his life in an instant, and can also make the breathless wood full of the aura of a living person... I think the comfort the latter brings me is far stronger than the former."
The man in black frowned, looked at the silly boy, and said seriously: "Xiao Li, you shouldn't say such things." He sighed and said slowly: "At least you shouldn't say such things now. Maybe one day, if you leave here, you can say what you want to say, but... you are still from the flower hall now. The rule set by Mr. Gong Yan back then, "If you are in his position, you must do your job." You must not be blasphemous!"
The silly boy didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, and began to carve the wood in his hand again.
"Do you know who those two people were just now?" the man in black suddenly asked.
"You know?"
The man in black thought for a while and then said, "One is Han Bin, the third son of the Han family!"
"Oh?" said the silly boy: "Is it one of the three wealthy sons in Yanjing?"
The man in black smiled and nodded, "It must be him. I have seen him several times. But this is the first time I have seen the servant next to him."
The silly boy immediately said: "Of course he is not a servant."
"Yeah!" said the man in black: "Han Xuanchang has already entered Beijing. His son ranks fifth among the Han family's direct nephews. I heard Han Bin call the servant Xiaowu. If he guessed correctly, that servant should be Han Xuanchang's son, Han Mo, who made great contributions in Bozhou County. As far as I know, Ye Tianmeng, the most powerful general in Bozhou County, died at his hands!"
The silly boy frowned slightly and said, "But from the surface, he doesn't seem to be Ye Tianmeng's opponent."
"I have seen Ye Tianmeng, too. His divine power is amazing and it is definitely not easy to deal with." The man in black said slowly: "If this young guy is really killed, then this guy's ability is amazing." He paused and sighed: "But this person is very good at being a human being. He obviously likes our skills and wants to help us, but he does not spend a lot of money like ordinary noble children and treats us as beggars. Instead, he buys a hundred taels of silver, helps others but is not straightforward and arrogant, and leaves us with face. This skill in being a human is very experienced."
