Chapter 23 Closing the Account, Extracurriculars

When Uncle Ping, who was smiling and smiling, said such vicious and cruel words, the little carpenter's heart suddenly jumped, and he realized that he was too underestimating the sinisterness of people's hearts.

It turns out that whether it is Gan Wenming or Uncle Ping, people have been wary of themselves for a long time.

Gan Civilization can even guess his origin.

No wonder when Uncle Ping was talking to him last night, he deliberately led the topic to Gan Haotian, but he had already thought of temptation. It's a pity that he took it lightly at that time and made the other party notice it.

Speaking of which, the reason why the little carpenter was so calm before was because Ganjia Fort was his family after all. Whether it was Gan Wenming, Gan Wenfang, the present fortress lord, and the retired old fortress lord were all his relatives.

He came here just because he didn't want to disturb him, which made it too complicated and he could not prove it indirectly, indicating that he was the lost son of Gan Haotian, so he would hide his name and identity.

Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood and thought that when he came back here, he wanted to compete for the inheritance rights of Ganjiabao.

What the little carpenter didn't expect was the attitude that Uncle Ping showed at this moment, which was like an enemy.

These words made the little carpenter feel a little disappointed, and he raised his ears more and more, wanting to listen to Gan Wenming's opinions.

Fortunately, although Gan Wenming was a little hostile to his cousin who came out of thin air, his murderous intention was still shallow. He also whispered: "No need, not to mention that his origin is unknown and he cannot prove himself. Even if my grandfather and those uncles and brothers all admitted his identity, so what? His father has been dead for more than ten years and has no influence anymore. No matter how confused my grandfather is, he will not give Ganjiabao a foreigner to take care of it. Besides, that Nalan Xiaoshan has not shown up for many years, and I don't know if he is dead..."

Uncle Ping’s opinion was different: “No matter what, this person came here, he was still a bit ambitious, otherwise he would not have sneaked into my Ganjiabao with his head and tail exposed.”

Gan Wenming said: "I will be a resident of Ganjiabao in the future. I have to be tolerant, otherwise I will be very passive if I get a handle. Okay, this matter will end here. I will pay him a salary tomorrow and then ask him to get out. You can send someone to help me stare at him and see his subsequent actions - I will not kill him because of fighting for power and profit, but if this guy wants to be unfavorable to me, Ganjiabao, then don't worry about my relatives' affection, hum..."

Uncle Ping said flatteringly: "The eldest young master is sincere and righteous..."

The two of them finished talking about this and then left.

The little carpenter heard the footsteps gradually fading away, opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside was already dark, and he had been sleeping for about half an hour.

He felt a little uncomfortable on his back, and when he reached out to touch it, he felt sweaty with one hand.

During these days of working in Ganjiabao, the little carpenter saw with his own eyes some of the strength of Ganjiabao. Whether it was caravan guards, servants in the fort, swordsmen and worshippers, they were all elites.

Especially those who are worshipped by swordsmen are all first-class experts. In addition, the people in the Ganjiabao family have unique skills and excellent roots. With the accumulation of Ganjiabao for a hundred years, there are a large number of masters.

It is these people who support Ganjiabao's hegemony here.

If Gan Wenming really wants to kill himself, he will probably find it difficult to leave easily.

After all, once you fall into chaos, your so-called identity may not be able to save your life.

He lay in the corner of the workshop, thinking about what to do next. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was like Gan Wenming's arrangement. After getting the wages, he left here. After going to the old housekeeper to find out the situation, he made a decision and left.

He has been with Lu Da for so many years, but his memory of this place has long disappeared.

Things are made of humans, and this place is no longer his home.

After a while, the little carpenter was no longer worried. After about half an hour, he walked out of the workshop, returned to his residence, asked someone for hot water, washed away all over his sweat, and changed into clothes.

After cleaning up here, Uncle Ping came to find the little carpenter and said he was willing to look for him in a civilized manner.

At this moment, Uncle Ping greeted him warmly, not as cruel as before. Seeing Uncle Ping with a smile on his face, the little carpenter cheered up to deal with it, so that he would not see any abnormality. Then, he came to the factory and completed the handover with Gan Wenming.

He did a very beautiful job. After Gan Wenming saw it, he was very satisfied and paid the wages readily and even gave a bounty.

Then Gan Wenming asked enthusiastically: "I, what are your plans for the next time? Are you interested in staying? Yesterday you also saw that the market for these furniture is good. I provide venues, materials and related craftsmen here. You are responsible for checking the commission. If you directly take charge of the commission, I will definitely not treat you badly..."

He was very enthusiastic, as if he had no grudges in his heart, but the little carpenter knew that once he showed his thoughts of staying, he would be regarded as a person with ulterior motives.

And if this is the case, no one knows what the next result will be.

So he said apologetically: "Sorry, I made an appointment with my friend before and planned to go to Dunhuang to see murals. Because I was not rich enough, I was here for a few days. Now I have received the reward and am ready to set off..."

Gan Wenming asked a few questions and said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect you to have any research on murals in my family?"

The little carpenter immediately picked up the words that Boss Shen said to him, took them out and said to Gan Wenming, and then said: "I know that I have traveled with my master in various places in the southwest, building houses and furniture for people everywhere. I have no other interest, but I like ancient Chinese architecture and art. I am very obsessed with it. I have the opportunity this time, I have to take a look and increase my knowledge..."

Gan Wenming said: "I was a little fascinated by what you said. It's a pity that I'm plagued by earthly affairs, otherwise I would really want to go with you."

The two of them were polite, and Gan Wenming saw him off and asked Uncle Ping to leave with the little carpenter.

The little carpenter packed up the tools and put them in the big wooden box. Uncle Ping asked the servants to help carry them, and then went to the stable with him to pick up the horses and sent them away from Ganjiabao.

When I left the workshop, the sun was just right. This was the best weather in recent days. The sky above my head was blue and blue. The sunlight fell on the long street with four carriages side by side on the central axis of Ganjiabao. The long street was covered with bricks and tender grass grew out of it.

The little carpenter saw a glimpse, but for some reason, he felt a little relaxed in his heart.

After all, in his heart, he was actually a little resistant to facing the people of Ganjiabao.

Why is this departure not a relief for him?

He and Uncle Ping and his servants walked towards the outer city of the fort. There were passing vehicles and pedestrians on the way. Several young men from other forces met in the workshop yesterday. However, they hurried to the hall of the main courtyard as if they had something to do. Even though they saw the little carpenter, they did not stop.

Then, Hu and Lu also ran over from the living yard with the black-clad swordsman. He saw the little carpenter from afar and hurried over to say hello: "Gan, Brother Gan, what are you doing?"

The little carpenter told him that he had finished his work and was about to leave. Hu and Lu Wanliu said, "Can you wait for me for a while? I have to go to the front hall for a meeting now. I am late. I want to break my legs - wait for me for half an hour, and when I finish, I will bring you apologies."

The little carpenter waved his hand to refuse. Hu Helu was anxious and said to the black-clad swordsman next to him: "Old Xiong, go to my room, bring that blue bag and give it to Brother Gan..."

After he finished speaking, he said to the little carpenter: "Brother Gan, I'm almost late. I won't tell you anymore. Please leave a contact address for Lao Xiong. I'm done with my work and go find you."

He hurriedly left, while Lao Xiong stayed and said, "Sir, wait for me, I'll go back."

The little carpenter glanced at Uncle Ping and said, "I'll go to the stable to pick up the horses first, let's see you there..."

The old bear responded and turned around and left. Uncle Ping looked at the left old bear's back and said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that your popularity was so good. I heard that this young man from the Eagle King Banner has a very bad temper. He is simply disgusted by dogs. I didn't expect that he would be so polite to you and have great courtesy."

The little carpenter said calmly: "Maybe I prefer him?"

The two continued to walk forward and left the Laibin Courtyard behind. The little carpenter paid attention and found that some older people had left one after another, in groups of three or five.

Those people must have been invited by Ganjiabao to "discuss major events" and deal with all the forces of Zoroastrianism.

The little carpenter didn't pay much attention and followed Uncle Ping forward, chatting casually. He was about to walk to the outside city of Ganjiabao. Suddenly, there was a fierce sound of gongs and drums coming from afar. Uncle Ping heard this and was a little surprised and said, "Ah, have you left the water?"

He saw several Ganjiabao guards running next to him with long swords, and hurriedly shouted, "What's going on?"

One of them stopped, bowed to him, and said, "Master Ping, a few Zoroastrian spies came into our Ganjiabao and wanted to spy on the information of the alliance. They found it and were running outside."

Uncle Ping suddenly changed his expression and shouted in surprise: "The spy of Zoroastrianism?"

The man nodded and then left with the large army. Uncle Ping took the little carpenter and the servant to the side. At this moment, suddenly, several people jumped down from the roof above, all covering their faces. One of them saw them, shouted loudly, and then rushed towards them.

The little carpenter took two steps back and found that the man was very fierce. He used a scimitar to chop the servant down to the ground.

Seeing Uncle Ping running away, the little carpenter hesitated for a moment, and swords and weapons were attacking from both sides.

Only then did he realize that those people were coming for him.
