Chapter 3: Yuqing Town

Luo Yu, who now has silver, also closed the tea shop early.

Because today he has a very important task to complete, which is also something he has been looking forward to for a long time.

Since it was summer, it was still early, and the scorching sun was shining high.

But for Luo Yu at this time, these are not problems, after all, his heart has already flown to Yuqing Town, which is more than ten miles away.

And the village he lives in is called Changqing Village, and there is only an iron shop on this Yuqing Town within a radius of dozens of miles, if it is far away, it is necessary to travel hundreds of miles into the city.

Although the blacksmiths there must be much better than the blacksmiths in the town, for Luo Yu today, it is just a luxury.

Not to mention the long distance, the silver needed for forging equipment there was also unbearable for him.

Due to the different techniques of forging equipment and the iron quality required, the price is naturally not comparable to other agricultural tools.

However, Luo Yu's requirements for equipment are extremely special, in addition to the strange style, the weight is also very strict.

A long time ago, he negotiated the price with the king blacksmith in the town after soft grinding and hard soaking, which was also ten taels of silver, you must know that this is not a small amount, for ordinary people, it is enough for the whole family to spend a year.

But Luo Yu was willing to spend ten taels of silver to forge a pair of weapons, which was really incomprehensible to everyone.

Pushing a small cart, Luo Yu also dared to go to Yuxi Town in a hurry under the scorching sun, if it was too late, then he might not have time to go home today.

And why Luo Yu pushed a small cart was also directly related to the weapons he forged.

After all, it was ten taels of silver, why would Luo Yu, who was careful about it, be willing to spend so much gold to buy weapons.

That's because it's so heavy, it's forged from 300 pounds of pig iron.

It is said that it is a weapon, but it is better to say that it is a real armor, after all, a weapon is just an iron sword, and the weight of the armor is about 300 catties.

With such heavy armor, it is impossible for even an ordinary adult to wear it, but Luo Yu insisted on forging it like this.

At the beginning of the period, the king blacksmith thought that Luo Yu was joking with him, and he just agreed indiscriminately. After all, in his eyes, Luo Yu was just a child, how could the child's words be taken seriously.

But two days ago, when Luo Yu slapped two taels of silver in front of him, Wang Blacksmith also realized that this kid was really playing with him.

And today is Luo Yu's delivery date, with eight taels of silver in his arms, Luo Yu's heart is also full of expectations.

More than ten miles away, Luo Yu arrived in less than half an hour, and the clothes on his body were completely soaked with sweat, so he didn't have time to worry about so much, Luo Yu also hurriedly ran towards the blacksmith shop.

"Uncle Wang, how's it going?"

"You're in a hurry, you've just played, and it's still hot?"

"Really? I'll see, I'll see!"

Hearing this, Luo Yu's face also showed a look of expectation, and he couldn't wait to see his equipment at this time.

"Hey, what are you in a hurry, the goods are ready, do you have enough money, the raw materials alone cost me nine taels of silver, I won't give you a penny less, I've been busy for two days!"

"Why are you in a hurry, I haven't inspected the goods yet! I've given you the money, what can I do if you bluff me? My requirements are very strict!"

"Drink! You kid is not big, this brain is quite flexible, and you know how to test the goods first! I give you the best pig iron, otherwise I can't meet your requirements, you can absolutely rest assured, my iron-striking technology is ancestral, I can't smash my own signboard." ”

In a pool made of stones, all pieces of equipment are soaked in it, and the water temperature is also dozens of degrees high, obviously just like the blacksmith Wang said, these equipment are also just forged, and they are cooling down at this time.

Blacksmith Wang carefully took out the equipment from the water, and his face was also difficult, obviously the weight was needless to say.

The sword is three feet and two inches long, the sword body is dark iron and cast with a wide blade, revealing a faint cold light, the hilt of the sword is a golden dragon carving case, which looks extremely majestic, and the blade is extremely sharp at that time, the real blade is like autumn frost.

The moment he saw this sword appear, Luo Yu didn't care about the temperature of the sword body, and hurriedly held it in his hand.

The wrist sank slightly, obviously the weight of this sword is not light, and this is exactly what Luo Yu needs, according to his requirements, this sword cannot be less than five catties, obviously this weight is enough.

During this period, the equipment in the pool has also been completely taken out, compared with the delicacy of the sword, these equipment will look rough, but this is also a helpless move, after all, this is the first time to do it, and it is not easy to complete it.

A pair of arm guards, a pair of leg guards, a pair of iron shoes, and dozens of special iron pieces next to a heart goggle can be installed on the leg guards and arm guards.

Although the craftsmanship is a bit rough, the style is the same as Luo Yu imagined, and he picked up the lightest arm guard with more than 20 catties, and the weight was definitely enough.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied? It's taken me a lot of effort to complete!"

"Satisfied!

At this time, Luo Yu had already calmed down the joy in his heart, after all, this was the equipment he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Satisfied, what are you still doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and give the money!"

"Eh! I almost forgot about it when I was happy, rest assured!"

Luo Yu patronized and was happy, but he forgot that he still owed eight taels of silver, and hurriedly took out a rag from his arms, which was wrapped in a whole eight taels of silver, and carefully handed it to the blacksmith Wang.

After counting, Blacksmith Wang was also very satisfied, plus the previous deposit of two taels, exactly ten taels.

"Boy, what kind of fortune have you made, if you can, I can do it with you!"

"Pull you down, I almost lost my life for this little money, what are you doing?"

"Is it a robbery? I don't do it! That's a crime!"

"Robbery? You can think of it, who can I rob with my small body?

But the blacksmith looked at the equipment in front of him, and then looked at Luo Yu, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't continue to ask, anyway, his money had already arrived, no matter where he came from.

With the help of Blacksmith Wang, he also loaded a lot of equipment on a small cart, and then took a rag to cover it, and after Luo Yu said goodbye to Blacksmith Wang, he walked towards the way home.

After all, he had to rush back before dark, and it was too dangerous to walk at night, not to mention that he was still a child.

In the past two hours, Luo Yu appeared at the door of his house with a cart, and seeing that the sky had gradually darkened, Luo Yu also showed a knowing smile.

Sitting in the courtyard of his house, feeling like his body was hollowed out, pushing three hundred pounds of equipment, this rush also exhausted all his strength, and he didn't have the excitement at first.

After sitting on the ground for a full quarter of an hour, he felt a little strength in his body, and walked to the bucket with difficulty, not caring for anything else, and took the wooden ladle and drank the water.

A hint of coldness also soothed the Luo Yu a lot, and he couldn't help but let out a breath of turbidity.

There was no light in the house, and it was obvious that his father had not come home, and this Luo Yu had become accustomed to it.

Looking at the mountain peak not far away, Luo Yu's eyes also had a hint of gloom.

If he had not expected it, his father would have been on top of that hill at this time, drinking alone.

For so many years, whenever his father thought of his mother, he would do this, sitting all night, as if this was the only way to feel his mother.

This is also the pain in Luo Yu's heart, a pain that has been buried for more than ten years, in order to make a living on weekdays, he always forced a smile, and secretly didn't know how many tears he shed.

After all, what child doesn't want to have their parents by their side, and this is a luxury for him.

Whenever he saw the children in the village playing happily under the care of his parents, his eyes were always so straight to look at them.

His eyes were full of envy, how good it would be if that child was him, but the reality is always so cruel, even if he has more thoughts, he can only hide it in his heart.

Because he knew since he was a child that he had a father by his side to take care of, and if he also fell, then the family would be over.

Carrying the equipment on the cart to his room one by one, lighting the fire and cooking are also his daily work.

Regardless of whether his father ate it or not, he always prepared a portion for his father, and he ate the leftovers from the previous meal, which he had developed a habit over the years.....
