Chapter 240 might be used on the battlefield?!
Gui Er remained expressionless; he had long since grown accustomed to it...
At first, every time General Yang called him "turtle," he would silently mutter about Captain Yang Zigui!
Later, the young lady comforted him, saying that turtles are long-lived animals, and that Xuanwu, one of the four mythical beasts, is a spiritual creature composed of a turtle and a snake, which is auspicious!
In the general's mansion and the military camp, only General Yang called him that...
Besides General Yang, who was called "son" by the old general, he was the second person to be called "son". Well, he should accept it. It's quite affectionate to be addressed like that!
"Yes!"
Gui Er and Luo Li rode away, laughing and joking as they chased away the small animals around them, and quickly returned to their original spot to await further orders.
"Luo Li, you've become much more efficient in your work these past few days!"
"Thanks to Miss, I'm able to broaden my horizons and gain new knowledge!"
"Then stop talking nonsense and scatter half a bag of flour inside the cabin! Remember, leave quickly and try not to let the flour leave the cabin, otherwise the explosion radius will expand!"
"Order!"
Luo Li excitedly picked up a bag of flour and rushed into the house, scattering it wildly. General Yang frowned slightly. Having experienced the era of food shortages, he cherished food very much and felt a pang of heartache as he watched the flour scattered in the house.
"What a waste of food... Wu'er, is there any other alternative?"
Yang Jianwu's mind immediately conjured up a multitude of images: aluminum powder, zinc powder, magnesium powder, iron powder... sawdust, coal dust... even sugar and tea powder... all of which posed an explosion risk...
"Actually, there are quite a lot..."
General Yang felt like he almost couldn't catch his breath. "Wu'er, you knew you could use something else instead, why didn't you say so? You've wasted a whole bag of flour..."
"Grandpa, can't you be reasonable? You wanted to see how flour would cause an explosion... and Luo Li, not wanting to miss out on trouble, volunteered to carry the flour out with him..."
General Yang couldn't blame his granddaughter, so he secretly made a note for Luo Li in his notebook: "You brat, you'll have to be punished when you get back to grind two bags of flour, otherwise you won't know how hard the people work!"
Luo Li ran over excitedly, "Miss, it's all done, what's next?"
"Get away from here and throw in a flint that's been struck!"
"Okay~!"
General Yang felt that the wooden house was too far away, so he spurred his horse forward a few steps, but Yang Jianwu pulled him back.
"Wu'er, let's take a closer look!"
"Grandpa, the blast wave was huge; we can feel it from here. It's too dangerous to go any further."
"Okay, I'll listen to Wu'er."
Although General Yang was older, his eyesight was still sharp. He stared intently at the flint in Luo Li's hand, afraid of missing any exciting moments.
The flint entered the wooden house, touched the sparks, ignited the flour, and caused it to grow larger, burning and expanding along with the surrounding flour...
"Bang!!"
In the blink of an eye, the wooden house was blown to smithereens!
Broken pieces of wood were scattered all around, and the heat from the explosion blew in, warm but still tolerable!
If the person was inside the house, then they would be dead without a complete corpse...
"Wu'er, could she be used on the battlefield?!"
Yang Jianwu had already guessed what the old man was thinking and had prepared her explanation.
"Grandpa, this kind of explosion requires several conditions to be met simultaneously, which is not very practical for war, but it's not impossible either..."
Yang Jianwu explained the formation of the dust explosion in a way that General Yang could understand.
Luo Li was amazed after hearing this and wanted to try blowing it up again, but the old general stopped him.
Although the valley was secluded, it was unprotected, and who knew if anyone was watching them from afar... The fewer people who knew about this top-secret operation, the better!
"It's getting late, let's go back!"
"Okay, Grandpa, but don't tell Father when you get back."
"Grandpa understands~ He understands everything! When has Grandpa ever betrayed you?"
After satisfying his curiosity, General Yang suddenly remembered the look of disappointment on his granddaughter's face...
"Wu'er, the story is over, but you still haven't told Grandpa why he's unhappy."
Yang Jianwu found it amusing; so much time had passed, yet she suddenly remembered it again.
"Grandpa, let's not talk about those things anymore, don't let them affect our mood!"
Luo Li spurred his horse to Yang Jianwu's other side and tentatively asked, "Is it because of someone?"
Yang Jianwu ignored him, but Luo Li persisted in asking until Yang Jianwu gave an impatient reply.
"Um……"
"Did it make you angry?"
"Um……"
"Is that Prince Ning?"
"no!"
"That must be Young Master Puyang?!"
"Um……"
Yang Jianwu rolled her eyes. Luo Li's persistent questioning was comparable to Pu Axuan's skill at extracting information... Sigh, thinking of Axuan made her heart ache again...
You stinky Ah Xuan! You think you can hide forever?
General Yang, being an experienced man, gleaned a general idea from the conversation between Yang Jianwu and Luo Li, and further understood by observing his granddaughter's expression.
"Wu'er, have you been bullied?"
"How could that be? Who would bully your granddaughter!"
"Hehe, if you weren't bullied, then you were wronged! Next time you see Ah Xuan, Grandpa will help you get revenge!"
Yang Jianwu enjoyed her grandfather's concern and replied with a smile, "Okay, Grandpa! If you see Ah Xuan again, you can chop him up as hard as you can!"
