Chapter 1173 Li Si, a Gentry in Idahoholm Town
Zhao Chuanxin handed the reins to Xia Er: "The snow is too deep, you lead the horse and I will walk. If I find it later, I will shoot to warn."
Ganfan is old, he will not let it run around in the middle of the night.
Xia Er hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Sir, I wrote many letters to Zhao Nianzhen, and she didn't reply to any of them."
The mailing address Zhao Chuanxin gave him was actually the address of Gail Russell's apartment in Hollywood, and the letters were kept by Gail Russell.
Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, kid, this is called - true love is silent."
Xia Er: "..."
Zhao Chuanxin waded into the snow before he could continue speaking.
People around him talked about it.
"This Li Si is very brave."
"It's better to work in groups of several people. We are saving people and can't lose another one."
Among the rescuers, there was a girl named Ava Russell.
Not long ago, she met Zhao Chuanxin when she and a group of idle young people camped in the wild beside Lake Lowell.
That time she wore thin jeans that tightly bound her buttocks, and she was very proud.
This time, she wore thick clothes.
She found that Zhao Chuanxin was the man who beat people and played guitar that day, but she remained calm.
A group of people shouted the name of the missing person and slowly rushed into the woods.
Zhao Chuanxin left the sight of the crowd, and then turned on the anti-force and the divine movement to shuttle through the woods, using the Jinhua technique to cover a 2-kilometer diameter area for search.
Not long after, he found the missing person Jerry Jewell.
There was blood all around, and a brown bear was biting Jerry Jewell's calf and thigh.
Jerry Jewell's body activated the self-protection mechanism, and he didn't know whether he was scared or in pain. Anyway, he fainted, but his body twitched from time to time, letting Zhao Chuanxin know that he was not dead.
Zhao Chuanxin kicked the tree trunk with both feet and flew there.
"Beast, why don't you let go?"
The brown bear turned its head and looked at Zhao Chuanxin with a grunt.
"Roar..."
Bang.
One shot blew out its eyeball.
"You scream, you're paralyzed!"
Bang.
The second shot blew out its other eyeball.
The brown bear was not dead yet, and it screamed in pain: "Roar..."
Bang.
It hit right between the eyebrows.
"Still screaming?"
The brown bear died aggrieved.
Zhao Chuanxin walked over, took out the bandage, tightened Jerry Jewell's wound to stop the bleeding, and wiped the edge of the wound with iodine to disinfect.
He sprinkled the secret disinfectant on the wound, then carried Jerry Jewell on his shoulder, picked up the shotgun on the ground and walked back.
"Li Si, where are you?"
The people outside heard the brown bear's roar and gunshots, and shouted anxiously.
Zhao Chuanxin fired a shot into the air.
Soon, everyone came with oil lamps and torches.
"Jerry, Jerry, what happened to him?"
"He was bitten by a brown bear. I'm afraid he needs amputation. Take him back first."
"Where's the brown bear?"
"Dead."
"..."
A group of people hurried back with the injured.
Charle handed the reins to Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, you are really amazing."
Zhao Chuanxin handed the gun to Charles again: "This gun belongs to Jerry. Return it to his family. There is also a mother and child bear nearby. Let someone kill this pair of bears tomorrow. After all, the family must be together."
Charle: "..."
Ava Russell came with the large team. After hearing what Zhao Chuanxin said, she couldn't help but say: "Sir, the little bear didn't hurt anyone, why kill the little bear?"
Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette, got on the horse and looked at her sideways: "Okay, then wait until it hurts someone before killing it."
Ava Russell: "..."
Zhao Chuanxin didn't give others a chance to ask questions and went straight home.
He got into bed, and Gail Russell asked in a daze: "What happened?"
"The man who stole the cassock was beaten to death. It's okay, go to sleep."
Gail Russell should go back to Los Angeles, and the crew urged her to go back to film.
The next day, Zhao Chuanxin got up early and drove Gail Russell to the train station.
The car was borrowed from her friend in Boise. The two returned the car first, and Zhao Chuanxin went to the train station with her.
Gail Russell hugged his neck and said with a smile: "Next time I can take a plane back. You buy a car and come to pick me up. I can give you the money to buy a car."
Zhao Chuanxin patted her buttocks, smiled and said nothing.
Gail Russell tilted her neck and closed her eyes, waiting for something.
After a while, Zhao Chuanxin said: "You are like a snake, tilting your neck and spitting out your tongue?"
Gail Russell opened her eyes in exasperation: "..."
Gail Russell left.
When Zhao Chuanxin returned home, the mayor, police and a group of young people from the Jewell family and Holm Town waited outside his house and had dinner with him.
They came specially to thank Zhao Chuanxin.
When they saw Zhao Chuanxin coming back, they all said:
"Good job, man."
"Well done."
"Although we haven't met much, I know you can do it!"
Ava Russell was among them.
Zhao Chuanxin invited them into the house.
"After all, you've been here for so long, but this is the first time you've invited us into your home."
"Li Si, you're too low-key. You should get to know your neighbors more."
Zhao Chuanxin's rescue made him famous throughout Holm Town.
The victim, Jerry Jewell, was chased by a brown bear. He fired three shots in a hurry, but didn't even touch the bear's hair.
Zhao Chuanxin shot three times, two in the eyes and one in the forehead.
The brown bear probably died three times.
This means that even if three brown bears besiege him, he can easily fight back.
Li Si is a real man, a real man of iron and blood.
People in the western region admire strength, and they value this.
Everyone visited his home and found out what he does.
Here, the land is vast and the population is sparse, which makes people feel insecure. It’s almost the same if everyone has a knife.
Everyone was tempted by the exhibits in the display cabinet, but gave up the idea after seeing the prices.
Don’t make a fuss, how much money can a small family earn by digging for food in the soil?
Everyone was amazed at Zhao Chuanxin’s big business.
Ava Russell lingered beside Zhao Nianzhen’s jewelry box.
Zhao Chuanxin saw their embarrassment and took out dozens of knives from the cabinet, with leather sheaths and handles made of deer antlers, cow horns, walnuts and cowhide.
Zhao Chuanxin said: "The knives and axes in the cabinet have already been taken, but I still have some defective ones. Everyone, take a look and pick one if you like it. It can be regarded as a gift from our neighbors for so many years."
The Americans are not polite about this point.
It turns out that the defective products are nothing more than no gemstones, no gold and silver embellishments, the handles are ordinary materials, and the knives do not have satin patterns.
In addition to various satin patterns, the precious knives in Zhao Chuanxin's works have more diverse accessories. The handles alone have bark, shark skin, pearl fish skin, abalone shell patches, mother-of-pearl, mammoth tusks, desert ironwood, snakewood, small-leaf red sandalwood, pink ivory and tiger maple, etc.
Inlaid with gold and silver with various gemstones, there are also knife pendants with high material value...
From the handle to the blade to the gasket to the scabbard and the knife pendant, they are all very exquisite, otherwise they cannot be sold at a high price.
Of course, those cannot be given as gifts, and the other party may not dare to accept them if they are given as gifts.
These people were originally grateful for the warmth, but ended up taking advantage of others…
Someone pointed to a knife in the display case and asked Zhao Chuanxin: “Li Si, is the handle of this knife made of gemstones?”
Zhao Chuanxin nodded: “Yes, it is made of 25 kinds of gemstones.”
Everyone gasped: “Is it glued?”
The handle is smooth and the curves are integrated. It would be impossible if it was not glued.
“No.” Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: “Do you know the vertical stone slabs in Europe? The principle is probably similar. Cut the gemstones into long strips, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, the same size, and the thin end should have a root, so that it can be embedded and fixed.”
“Hiss…”
Someone asked carefully: “How long does it take to make this knife?”
“It took less than six years.”
In fact, Zhao Chuanxin only took three days to make it.
“Hiss…”
“How much?”
“Three hundred thousand.”
Everyone stopped talking.
This is purely a luxury that only the top rich can play with.
If this thing is put in the future, it is estimated that it will cost one million or two million. It is also possible that someone who likes it will sell it for ten million.
After all, it is the only one in the world, and no one else can do it.
Zhao Chuanxin first cuts various gems into long strips, leaving the roots, and then uses solid rune metal to fix the gems into one piece.
Who else can do it except him?
Take it to the four-dimensional space to do it?
Everyone is confused.
In addition to being a sharpshooter, Zhao Chuanxin was also labeled as a skilled knife maker.
Everyone left with satisfaction.
But Ava Russell stayed.
She helped Zhao Chuanxin clean up the coffee cups, tea cups and snack plates.
She changed into thin denim bell-bottom pants again.
Ava Russell is above average in appearance and has a plump figure. She wears tight pants and walks like a swaying daffodil, which makes Zhao Chuanxin sigh: It makes sense to make big and beautiful toilets bigger and bigger.
Ava Russell didn't speak, and Zhao Chuanxin didn't speak either.
Playing awkwardly, Zhao Chuanxin has never been afraid of anyone.
How can Ava Russell have the scheming of a centenarian?
Other men would circle around her when they saw her, and you, a middle-aged man, are still reserved?
She said: "Sir, your black tea is delicious."
"Drink less, it will only make your teeth yellow."
"..." Ava Russell didn't know why she stayed. She was choked and tried to continue the awkward chat: "Sir, your skills are really superb."
"If you want to stand out, you have to work ten times harder."
"So, you have paid a lot, right?"
"No, I am gifted and I will get it once I get started. This is for you to hear."
"..."
The beautiful man called Ava Russell's generation - the lost generation.
Although Lao Zhao's temples and short beard are slightly gray, his face is sharp and his eyes are not cloudy at all. His skin, which became rough in Middle-earth, has become delicate again in the past two years.
He is good at shooting, tall and manly, has superb skills to make money, and most importantly, he is full of thorns.
Young people like Ava Russell are easily attracted by these temperaments.
In the days that followed, Ava Russell would occasionally come and chat with Zhao Chuanxin, which always made Zhao Chuanxin roll his eyes in dismay, but she never tired of it.
Zhao Chuanxin would never take the initiative to visit his neighbors, but from time to time someone would ask him to help repair some ironware.
Zhao Chuanxin usually didn't charge for such a small effort.
Someone boasted about his gem knife worth 300,000 yuan in the bar, but Zhao Chuanxin knew nothing about it.
He was busy demolishing the stable and building a new garage, and at this time he was dismantling the fifth generation of Youlong with his puppet servants.
Next to him was a pickup truck that Ford had just launched this year, which Zhao Chuanxin had just bought.
Zhao Chuanxin wanted to modify the car.
Modifying cars was a piece of cake for him.
The current vehicle inspection system in the United States is not perfect. Utah is the strictest. In other places, as long as your car can be driven on the road, it means there is no problem.
Zhao Chuanxin's pickup truck has been licensed. In theory, he can drive it until vehicle inspection becomes a standard in each state.
He only keeps the frame. According to the frame, the main power is changed to electric. There is no need to leave space for batteries because he has an energy gem conversion device.
The structure of electric vehicles is actually very simple, but the central control system is difficult.
Zhao Chuanxin uses a dual-motor coaxial layout and is equipped with claw-type front and rear axle differential locks, which can basically adapt to all road conditions except shell pits.
The central control system is actually manual, but the Xinxingyue central control rune controls the switches and gears of the circuit board through power, which can be regarded as a half-primitive smart car.
For the vacated battery space, Zhao Chuanxin will install a colorless particle flow jet engine and a Piaomiao Traveler engine. The fuel tank is made of deep-sea sediments to save space and reduce weight.
By the way, anti-force rune fragments are installed.
When building a car, you can see the difference between Xinxingyue and Zhenxingyue.
Xinxingyue has no creative ability at all, relying entirely on the memory and experience of the "ancient" period. Many innovations must be conceived by Zhao Chuanxin. It will be tested and, if it works, Zhao Chuanxin will make physical parts and install them.
After tinkering for half a month, the snow began to melt.
That night, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
Ganfan raised his head.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Hehe, I'll go down and take a look."
Zhao Chuanxin put on his pajamas and went downstairs barefoot.
The thieves outside were picking the lock.
There were three people in total, one was responsible for picking the lock, and the other two, one holding a Winchester M1894 old gun, and the other holding a Colt M1873 revolver, escorted the lock picker and kept watch.
Zhao Chuanxin took out the survival knife with a bark handle and waited against the wall next to the door.
The lock picker was stupid and didn't open it for a long time. Zhao Chuanxin was worried about him and opened the back lock.
The other party twisted it.
Click...
Hey, the door lock is open: Do you think I am awesome?
The thief who opened the lock looked back at his partner with a smug look.
Zhao Chuanxin held the survival knife in reverse, grabbed the wrist of the lock opener with his left hand and cut it horizontally.
Tsk.
He shook his shoulder and knocked the lock opener away, and bent his elbow and pressed down to stab the wrist of the person holding the revolver.
No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Puff.
He drew his knife.
Ganfan bit the third person's thigh.
The third person wanted to shoot, but he was bitten before he raised the muzzle of the gun.
Zhao Chuanxin broke the second person's arm, blocked the third person's gun, held the knife and pushed the third person's head back with his elbow, and almost bit off his tongue.
"Ah..."
The three screamed in unison.
Zhao Chuanxin stabbed the second person's shoulder with a knife because he wanted to bend down to pick up the gun.
Immediately, Qiangzi punched the lock open.
Click.
The three men had basically lost their fighting power, and Zhao Chuanxin held back and did not hurt their lives.
Zhao Chuanxin dragged the three men into the house, stopped their bleeding, and then threw them on the floor and ignored them.
Last year, his family installed a landline.
At this time, the phone number for Da Piaoliang’s police call was not unified.
There are two ways to call the police. The first is to remember the police station phone number, and the second is to dial 0 first and let the operator transfer the call.
After dialing the phone, Zhao Chuanxin said directly: "I am Li Si Zhao. Someone came to my house to rob. Please send the police."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chuanxin came to the three people. Because one of them wanted to touch the decorative knife on the wall, Zhao Chuanxin raised his leg.
Bang.
The man rolled his eyes and fainted.
He raised his leg and kicked.
Puff.
He knocked out three of the man’s teeth, and the man woke up in pain: "Ah..."
The other two were terrified and trembling: "Don't hit us, we won't resist."
Zhao Chuanxin threw a big arm bag with his backhand.
Puff.
One person's cheek was swollen.
Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "It's okay, you can keep trying. How do you know if it works if you don't try?"
The remaining two people were trembling, how dare they test the bottom line?
Zhao Chuanxin went to the kitchen to grind coffee beans and took out tea.
Then he took out flour and dough and fermented it by the fireplace.
Marinated beef.
After fermentation, roll out round dough.
Add pizza sauce, onions, red and green peppers, mozzarella cheese, beef to the dough and bake it.
Good guy, the police came late after the pizza was baked, and the speed of the police response was outrageous.
Although they came late, they gave Zhao Chuanxin face anyway. Six policemen came and all the police officers were dispatched.
After all, they all got Zhao Chuanxin's knife last time.
Sheriff Steve Mulligan held a gun and shouted: "Li Si, are you there?"
They didn't dare to go in rashly, worried that they would be attacked by robbers.
"Come in."
They were relieved when they heard Zhao Chuanxin's voice.
The police saw two guns dropped at the door, a door lock with signs of being pried, three thieves in the house, and a bloody survival knife on the cabinet.
They looked at each other: "Li Si, are you not injured?"
Zhao Chuanxin poked his head out of the kitchen: "Don't worry about them, I just baked pizza, and called you here in the middle of the night. I think you are hungry, eat something before leaving."
Six people: "..."
So leisurely?
The three kidnappers didn't even tie them up?
When the three kidnappers saw the police coming, they looked relieved.
When the police handcuffed them, one of them was still mumbling: "Thank God, you are finally here."
Police: "..."
How much sin did they have to suffer to be looking forward to the police coming?
Several policemen came to the kitchen, and Zhao Chuanxin just took the pizza out of the oven.
Sheriff Steve Mulligan noticed that Zhao Chuanxin didn't have tongs and gloves, and he was holding the plate with his bare hands.
He thought it wasn't hot, so he reached out and touched it: "Oh shit."
His hand was scalded and blistered.
"Eat something and rest for a while before leaving. It's not easy to come all the way here. What do you want to drink?"
"Tea."
"Coffee."
"Milk."
No one drank water.
The beautiful woman started to have a big belly from this moment.
Zhao Chuanxin poured them some, and several people sat down and shared the whole pizza, but Zhao Chuanxin didn't move. He wouldn't eat at night even if he had a dry meal.
"Well... Tell me, Li Si, what happened?"
Zhao Chuanxin, holding a cigarette in his mouth, told the story again.
A police officer was surprised: "You used a knife to deal with them? And two of them had guns?"
"That's basically it."
The six people were shocked.
It's really tough!
Zhao Chuanxin took a sip of wine: "Although they are honest, this is not a prison after all, so I have to trouble you to put them in jail."
"Don't say that, it's what we should do."
The other party gave the knife as a gift, and the police took great pains to bake pizza. The arrested robber was also subdued, and handcuffing was just a piece of cake.
The sheriff smiled bitterly: "It seems that someone bragged about the value of your knife after drinking, which attracted the thieves. In my opinion, Li Si, you should sell the precious knife as soon as possible."
Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "You make sense."
After this incident, Li Si Zhao became famous in Holm Town.
And there were reporters who came to interview him.
Zhao Chuanxin refused to take pictures, and only let them take pictures of the display cabinet and the knives he used in the fight.
After all, this incident was caused by the knife.
Zhao Chuanxin came to the United States as a Dutch immigrant. He has a complete identity certificate. He answered whatever the reporter asked without any mistakes.
After the reporter left, Ava Russell came again.
"Li Si, you're so cool. The weather is getting warmer, we're going camping, I want to invite you, it's a cool party."
Li Si can play guitar and sing, he can fight people and kill bears, and he's funny. Ava Russell wanted to have something with him, but she never had the chance.
"No."
"..."
When the incident was published in the newspaper, many people came to buy knives.
In just two months, Zhao Chuanxin sold 23,000 knives.
Now, he is a gentleman in Home Town, Idaho - Li Si Zhao.
Everyone comes to ask for his opinion on weddings and funerals.
Someone else contacted him to buy the gem knife, but the price was too low, Zhao Chuanxin refused to sell it.
It would be great as a gimmick.
He now has $37,000 in hand.
So he spent another $1,300 to buy a new pickup truck.
This is necessary, because it will take three months for his car to be built.
After the car is built, there will definitely be other troubles.
Sure enough, when Zhao Chuanxin was testing the car, the speeding Ford pickup attracted the attention of the neighbors.
"Li Si, did you buy a car?"
"Yes."
"Can you lend it to me to drive?"
"Then you have to go to my house."
Borrow a car? Sure, drive another one.
Don't move this car.
Someone also asked: "Li Si, why doesn't your car smoke?"
"It uses batteries."
At this time, not only did Europe have trams, but some cities also popularized tram taxis, and battery replacement was very convenient.
Not surprising.
Another month later, Gail Russell had just finished filming a movie and flew to Boise. Zhao Chuanxin went to the airport to pick her up.
"Wow, you finally bought a car, why not a sedan?"
"Pickup truck, agricultural vehicle, get in quickly."
After Gail Russell got into the car, she found that the center console of the car was very thick, the steering wheel was smaller than that of a normal car, the dashboard was not mechanical, but a screen, and the car had no gear lever.
The car has only one row of seats, separated by a central armrest made of solid wood covered with sponge and leather installed by Zhao Chuanxin. There is a storage box in the central armrest, which can also support elbows.
Zhao Chuanxin stepped on the accelerator and the car took off.
Gail Russell's eyes lit up: "What kind of car is this? I want to buy one too."
The shock absorption, seats, interior, and control feel are far superior to those of the same type. You can't feel the engine vibration, and the sound insulation is excellent, no noise...
"Ford pickup truck, just released, wait for you to buy it when you go back."
Zhao Chuanxin said happily.
One bought and one didn't say a word.
He started the engine of the Misty Traveler, and the car suddenly rose a bit and the speed increased.
70 kilometers away, arrived in 20 minutes.
Gail Russell realized that he was fooled.
Zhao Chuanxin has many magical things, even his car is different.
This car can not only fly, but also hover in the air.
She found that Zhao Chuanxin had an identical pickup truck at home. She curiously leaned on the window to look, and the inside view was completely different.
"Uncle, let's go traveling."
"Where to?"
"Fly anywhere, Canada, Mexico."
"No, now everyone is looking for UFOs everywhere, driving this car will be misunderstood."
Zhao Chuanxin kept his real name hidden so as not to arouse Da Piaoliang's vigilance.
After Zhao Chuanxin got a car, Gail Russell came more frequently.
Zhao Nianzhen seemed to have a quarrel with Zhao Lingjun and never came back.
From this year on, everyone in China began to pay attention to hygiene and eliminate the four pests.
But the situation is not optimistic.
Some people began to be tortured.
This year, Zhao Chuanxin and Benjamin contacted each other frequently.
He had a thing like a pager, the shell of which was made of deep-sea sediments. He and Benjamin each had one.
This thing was long and narrow, because Benjamin stripped off various particles of rainbow particles and used black particles to make the screen display. The black and white screen could display three lines of words.
Input was controlled by voice, and messages were transmitted by central control runes.
Zhao Chuanxin was worried about something.
Lubin Prefecture and Lugang Town are currently semi-autonomous.
Just think about it.
Fortunately, this year passed without any danger.
During the Chinese New Year, the old Zhao family came to accompany Zhao Chuanxin as usual.
In fact, they all came after celebrating the Chinese New Year in China. After all, it is 15 hours later here than in China. They had their New Year's Eve dinner early, but it was morning here, so they accompanied Zhao Chuanxin to have a "New Year's lunch". The children were not sleeping, so it was a good time to play.
When they came this year, Zhao Chuanxin looked a little unhappy.
Zhao Lingjun and Zhao Nianzhen came, but Yao Bing didn't.
Zhao Chuanxin wasn't angry that he didn't come, but he was a little angry that his two daughters were pregnant at the same time.
Zhao Lingjun and Zhao Nianzhen were still angry and looked at each other with dislike.
Zhao Chuanxin was confused: Was it because of his lust for women that they had seen more since childhood, which led to this result?
What a sin!
The New Year's lunch was still chaotic.
The snotty kids, who had grown one year older, were still in high spirits, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, setting up sleds, watching cartoons, recalling last year's experience, and making new moves.
