Lushui County is a small county town located at the junction of Xichuan, Xingluo and Yangcheng, surrounded by mountains.

At the beginning, there was no small town here, it was a wild mountainous area, and when there were more people walking, there would be roads in the mountains, and there would be more people living in the mountains, and the wild would become a small county town.

The inhabitants of the area supplied the caravans that came and went, and earned money to support their families. On weekdays, the small county town is very quiet, and only when the caravan arrives, it will be lively for a while. At this time, the adults run out of the door to do business, and the children timidly hide aside, curiously observing strangers.

Since half a year ago, the small county town suddenly became lively.

Located in the Lushui Mountain in the north of the county, iron ore was discovered, and the government found a large number of laborers to mine iron ore. The people of the county are excited, which means that this poor little county has its own source of income.

They can mine iron ore and sell it for money later!

Xiaoliu is a hard-working teenager who was raised by his brother and sister-in-law after his parents died, and is one of the miners of Lushui Iron Mine.

Don't look at his young age, he is a good worker, before the family only had a few acres of thin fields, busy work for a year can not eat enough, now, a day can earn three copper plates, sometimes dig more iron ore, can also get four.

The family can not only eat enough, but also save money, buy a few more acres of land in a few years, build a new house, and let the brother and sister-in-law enjoy Qingfu.

Xiaoliu is full of joy in his heart and is full of expectations for the future.

On this day, he mined iron ore as usual, but today the iron ore is so hard that it cannot be cut down.

Xiao Liu was a little frustrated, he saw that the people around him had already cut off several pieces, but he didn't have any of them, and he wanted to give up, but he was a little reluctant.

At noon, Xiao Liu took a heavy piece of iron ore and handed it to the supervisor, nervously explaining that he was not lazy.

The supervisor carefully examined the iron ore, and then was shocked, and rewarded Xiao Liuyi with two taels of silver on the spot, saying that it was refined iron ore

What is refined iron ore, Xiao Liu didn't know, but it was worth one or two silver, he stammered excitedly, and thanked him again and again.

The next day, the county ordered people to come to the iron mine to investigate, and then the iron mine was sealed.

People say that this iron mine has produced refined iron, and there will be a big man coming.

Xiao Liu doesn't know what a big man is, is it more powerful than the county order? Or like a few big families in the county, there are a lot of steamed buns and porridge to eat, or a legendary warrior.

However, he didn't care about this, he was only worried that the big people wouldn't let them mine iron ore in the future, and the family wouldn't be able to eat enough.

In the past month, more people have come to the county seat.

There are so many inns in the county that they can't live in, and many people live in the houses of local residents, and Xiaoliu also wants to rent out the house to make money, so he can sleep on the haystack behind.

But his house is too broken for others to look down on.

Xiaohu next door is clever, he told Xiaoliu that some people will hire people to lead the way when they enter the city, give some copper plates, and if they are lucky, they can earn several copper plates a day.

There is also the kind of richly dressed and very generous hands, and he has seen someone reward a tael of silver with his own eyes.

Xiao Liu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he could make money by pointing out the way.

So, Xiao Liu squatted at the gate of the county seat and grabbed a job with a group of people.

However, he has a stupid mouth, and he is dark and thin and can't rob others, so few people choose him.

On this day, Xiaoliu squatted at the gate of the county as usual, and saw a group of people coming over, both men and women, old and young, among whom there was a girl who looked not much older than him.

The people rushed up to show them the way, and after one of the big men scolded them impatiently, they scattered again and surrounded the other guests.

Xiao Liu stood up, stomped his numb feet, remembered that he hadn't earned a copper plate today, and mustered up the courage to step forward.

"My lord, do you want to lead the way?"

Xiaohu said that the most luxuriously dressed person is the boss, so Xiaoliu raised his head and asked the big man in armor.

A trace of impatience flashed in the big man's eyes, and just as he wanted to drive people away, a woman in black suddenly spoke up.

"Do you know anything about Lushui Iron Mine?"

The woman in black wore a samurai uniform, the neckline and cuffs of the dress had silver dark lines, the black silver-edged waist outlined the whole person's spirits, and the hem of the robe was four-piece, which was convenient for movement, and she stepped on a pair of cloud-climbing boots.

"Yes, I worked in the Lushui Iron Mine. ”

Xiao Liu nodded and said honestly.

After finishing it, he turned around and begged the big man: "I know the county very well, let me lead the way!"

Observe around, or the clothes worn by the big man are the most valuable.

The big man looked a little embarrassed, and did not speak, but looked at the woman in black.

Xiao Liu was in a hurry, he didn't earn a copper plate, and he said with a whim: "My lord, you are strong and not tired, your daughter must be tired, I'll take you to find an inn to rest." ”

The big man was stunned for a moment, and his face showed panic.

Xiaoliu: (‧_‧)?

"Haha," Fang Xile laughed, "You little guy is interesting, so you can lead the way." ”

After saying that, Fang Xile turned around, hugged his fists and said: "Everyone, we have arrived in Lushui County, don't leave it here, I hope there will be a goodbye day in the future." ”

Everyone hurriedly bowed down and said goodbye.

Tao Ying's eyes were reluctant, but since she came back alone, Fang Xile was silent a lot, and she didn't dare to say more.

Hong Gang and the others were also extremely sorry, but they were not reluctant to be happy, but reluctant to have a golden thigh.

Xiao Liu also came back to his senses at this time, and dared to love this woman as the one who said it.

Little Tiger misunderstands me!

A few people separated, Liu Yulan and Tao Ying said goodbye, and quickly followed the joy: "My lord." ”

Fang Xile was a little helpless: "Sister Yulan, just call me by name." ”

"Magnolia doesn't dare. ”

Fang Xile shook his head and no longer corrected, Liu Yulan and Tao Ying are two extremes, she is timid and cautious, coming to Lushui County to find Ge Teng is probably the most out of the ordinary thing in her life.

"Wow!" Fang Xile threw Xiao Liuyi a tael of silver: "Take us for a walk." ”

"Okay, good!" Xiao Liu was overjoyed: "Where are you going?"

Fang Xile wiped his stomach and said, "Let's go to the restaurant first, and introduce the situation in the county seat while eating." ”

......

Haiwanju is the largest restaurant in Lushui County, with delicious dishes, rich ingredients, and of course, good prices.

Fang Xile ordered a table of dishes, chicken, duck and fish.

Xiao Liu was dumbfounded.

Xiao Er next to him was not surprised, the martial artists who came recently are all so virtuous, those who practice martial arts have a lot of food, and the same is true for women.

Liu Yulan has walked the mountain road for more than half a month, and she eats a lot more boldly.

Only Xiaoliu only dared to eat the white rice in front of him.

Liu Yulan has a gentle personality, and when she saw that Xiaoliu was stupid, she pushed the plate in front of him: "Eat more." ”

Xiao Liu stared at the chicken leg and swallowed his saliva secretly: "No, no, I'll just eat white rice." ”

"Do you know which warriors have come to the county?"

Full of wine and food, Fang Xile asked.
