Most of the buildings in the Song Dynasty were made of soil and wood. High-tech products such as bricks and tiles were mainly used to build temples and Taoist temples at that time. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that bricks and tiles entered the houses on a large scale. As a brick and tiles in the Song Dynasty, they did not know how to do carpenters and felt embarrassed to say hello to others when they went out. Therefore, although the master did not teach, the carpenter skills were a compulsory course for three class masters who were determined to engage in the construction industry.

"Yes, if such good wood is handed over to other carpenters, if you do not do any careful work, and cut things with carelessness, and only seek your own convenience, it would be a waste of good materials." Qu Xin finally said bluntly: "Take it back and think about it slowly, be careful, and you can waste less materials, and you can also make more objects, right? After the materials are finished, can the master treat us unfairly?"

"When it comes to wasting materials, I just regret this good statue of god," Li Shi said with a jump: "I heard that Taohua Temple finally canceled the report and refused to admit that it had lost the statue... Oh, the wood was wrapped in gold foil and had been dry for hundreds of years. From now on, they will not deform again. What a good thing, you said, if we paint a layer of gold foil on the statue, would Taohua Temple be willing to take it? I guess it would be willing."

Qu Xin was excited: "Why did I forget that the Peach Blossom Temple has cancelled the report? I can't blame the master for putting these two statues in the yard. Now it is not a stolen property. Why can't it be generously placed in the Ming Dynasty?... Sandalwood that has been dry for hundreds of years in the shade, such good wood should have been used as a dowry for my daughter. Boss, you said I made it more meticulous and saved more materials for the master. Will the master give me some? The master is so kind, I'm afraid he will be willing."

After saying this, the three apprentices felt more energetic. Li Shi made up his mind and added: "How much incense has this statue been exposed to? The smell of sandalwood has penetrated into the innermost layer of the wood... Do you think the master will ask for the sawdust again? The master plans to burn incense. Can he do it by himself... I heard that this thing is a rare thing, so I will clean the ground by the way. I am afraid that the master will not compete with me for these inferior sandalwood powder shavings?"

Several apprentices were getting faster and unconsciously integrated into the role. While collecting the wood, they also thought about how to cut if they started...

While talking, the gate of the courtyard was knocked again. Li Shi jumped to the door, looked through the crack of the door, and immediately ran back: "It's broken, County Magistrate Meng came over with a few officials. He knew that Taohua Temple had lost the statue of the gods, so that he could see this pile of wood..."

Lu Yun made a quick decision: "Don't be afraid, just hide the head of the gods and the arms and legs, these woods that can be seen in shape, and the rest of the objects are placed in the courtyard. What can the County Magistrate Meng sees this pile of wood?"

Qu Xin jumped up, picked up two statues of gods and ran to the woodshed. The heads and legs of the statues were carved from whole wood. The heads and legs of the statues were removed. The pile of broken wood was just a by-product of the three brickwork techniques. People all denied the loss of the statue. Even if Meng Dutou suspected, as long as there was no obvious handle, what could he do?

Outside the door, County Magistrate Meng was still slapping the door, and he was a little impatient: "Shi Dalang, it's me. Didn't you ask the yamen runners to be on duty at the door yesterday? I've brought you people, don't be afraid, I'm an official, not a gangster, open the door quickly."

Immediately, the sound of slapping the door stopped, and the voice of the County Magistrate Meng changed to a flattering tone: "Mom, Huang Juren, why are you here too... Oh, it's a coincidence today, Shi Yanei also came to the door, Miss Chu is here too, it's really lively today."

Huang Yu spoke coldly outside the door: "Mr. Meng, the student is polite, please pay attention to the official style."

A pretentious cough sounded immediately at the door. You can imagine the proud expression of County Magistrate Meng: "Mom, I have forgotten that I am an official now, not an official..."

Immediately afterwards, the voice became low again and became full of flattery: "Young Master Huang reminded me well, but I, Lao Meng, was just a hard work, relying on my skills in swords and swords, and now even if I am promoted, I still do my original work. Huang Gongzi's native hometown, Lao Meng still wants to spend time in Haizhou City. I guess I will be an old county lieutenant in this life. Don't make fun of me."

"Well, you are not arrogant or impatient, and Master Meng's cultivation is getting better and better." Huang Yu's answer was neither salty nor indifferent.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Suzhen's delicate and quiet questioning sounded outside the door: "I heard yesterday that Guaizi had already collided with Brother Changqing. Lord Meng should have sent a yamen runner to come last night. Now that the door has not been opened, is there something wrong?"

County Magistrate Meng was shocked: "No, I'll send someone to climb over the wall now..."

Li Shi hurriedly agreed in the yard: "Here you come, I'm busy renovating the yard. Yesterday, I had piled up many hindrance items in the yard. I'm cleaning up now and clearing out a walking path. County Magistrate Meng waited for a while and it would be fine soon."

The door opened, and County Magistrate Meng walked into the door with a majestic expression. He looked at the pile of wood like a hill and nodded in appreciation: "Mom, this is all experience - some strange-shaped wood piles all over the ground. It was dark at night, and I didn't pay attention to the feet, and I couldn't help but knock. I wouldn't tell whether it could hurt people, and make noises and alarm the people in the house. That's the most important thing - I'll write it down. I'll prevent theft from now on, and I might as well pile some chopping wood in the yard."

Chu Suzhen looked at the yard and saw three apprentices holding wooden sticks with nervous faces. She praised casually: "You three apprentices are loyal. Did you stay overnight yesterday?"

Before the three apprentices could answer, she immediately asked, "Is Shi Dalang here? Are the girls okay?"

The first person to greet Huang E, who thanked her: "Sister Chu was almost threatened by the old monk yesterday. She came to care about our homeless children early this morning, E Niang... I really don't know what to say."

As she was talking, Huan Niang rubbed her eyes and walked out of the door. Huang E glanced at Huan Niang and quickly added: "Brother stayed overnight yesterday, but our yard was safe."

Huan Niang blurted out: "Brother is coming back, I'll go to his house to take a look."

Everyone's attention turned away from the pile of broken wood. The three apprentices quietly breathed a sigh of relief. They continued to carry the wood into the woodshed very diligently. Huang Yu bowed his hand, glanced at Chu Suzhen at the corner of his eyes, and replied calmly: "I met Shi Dalang by chance yesterday. When I went home, I heard that Dalang had prepared new things. I wanted to come and take a look immediately, but suddenly I heard that Xiao Shi asked about my friend's restaurant. I felt strange, so I quickly sent someone to find the gang Xianyushan. Who knew that the gang Xianyushan was nowhere to be found, and his family claimed that he didn't know anything...

This matter is strange. I felt puzzled. I quickly searched for Xiaoshi to ask, and then I realized that I might have been set up by someone. I went around to ask those friends this morning and realized that it was really the case. I didn’t have any friends to invite me to my friends at all, and there was no literary association at all.

Brother Changqing, what's going on? How did the kidnapper know about your relationship? And he has his hands and feet so fast..."
