Thank you for the monthly ticket with a heart like purple snow and no return from the sun and the moon, and thank you Hongguang Sanren for the reward. Thank you for recommending friends.

Xu Ling walked out of Mu Yixin's house, and walked forward for more than ten meters to see the old house where the sword scabbard was made. It's so recognizable in a new building. After all, in recent years, the government has renovated the streets of the entire town, allowing villagers to borrow money to build houses. And if you want to do business, you can also open the door of convenience and send your license to your door. Coupled with the nearby tourist attractions, it can be said that every family has built a new house and started a small business. The worst ones have opened small hotels.

But the house didn't move. And there was never anyone in the town to persuade the old man to rebuild. Why? It's very simple, the old building in the early Ming Dynasty! The old workshop that has been passed down from generation to generation has now become a provincial cultural relics protection unit.

The mottled blue brick courtyard walls reveal patches of detached lime, and some creepers' dead vines and dead leaves still remain on them. Wadang leaned crookedly and tattered against the top of the courtyard wall, as if telling the vicissitudes of its life.

The old gate, with its red paint peeling off and its whitening doors, was open, and the sound of hula and hula came from inside, like the sound of a hand-cranked windmill used to remove the empty husk of rice after drying it in the countryside.

Xu Ling walked forward, and when he entered the door, he saw a courtyard full of flowers like the previous ones, but this courtyard was much larger than the previous ones, and the criss-crossing blue brick roads separated the huge courtyard into squares. There is not much of one flower planted in each square. Xu Ling counted them, and there were thirty-six kinds. From peonies to rhododendrons, honeysuckle to spring flowers, and so on. The most popular among the owners should be the lotus, especially a few large vats placed in the closest place to the hall. It could be the right care, plus the right climate. I didn't expect that there were still flowers and bones blooming now, which made Xu Ling very curious. This master can toss!

As soon as Xu Ling stepped into the hall, he saw an old man and a young man making sword scabbards. The young lad is really pulling the bellows. The old man, on the other hand, roasted the skin of the long unknown animal on the fire and tied it to the scabbard of two black pieces of wood.

The old man seemed to hear Xu Ling coming in. But he didn't look back and didn't speak. The young man was sweating profusely at this time, stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead and asked Xu Ling, "Is there something wrong with you?" Xu Ling was slightly surprised, it stands to reason that people who do business would not be so rude.

Xu Ling replied unhurriedly: "The old man is disturbed." The owner of Youfu Inn on the street said that there is a scabbard for sale here, and I want to buy one. ”

The old man did not speak, and intently wrapped the scabbard around the sheath with his skin. Even the slightest dissatisfaction will be taken down and started all over again. This made Xu Ling, who saw it, couldn't help but admire. For that reason, the scabbard is worth buying.

After waiting for half an hour, the old man put down the work in his hand. The young man stood up first and supported the old man, and let the old man sit down on the old circle chair next to him. Go behind him and rub his shoulders and waist.

The old man took out a big cigarette barrel and began to light it and smoke it, and the gurgling sound in the cigarette barrel came out, which made Xu Ling feel very interesting. This chimney is also an old antique, the swarthy chimney is embossed with a lot of cranes and pines, as well as clouds, mountains and fog seas, strange stones and waterfalls.

Just when Xu Ling was observing the chimney with relish, the young man was curious about Xu Ling. Generally, the people who come here to buy scabbards are either middle-aged people with big bellies or old people. And most of them made loud noises when they came in, for fear that others would not know that they had come in. Often in this case, grandpa is not for sale. Only a few times came to the grandfather's old friends to sell some.

"The lad came to buy a scabbard?". The old man's voice sounded, making Xu Ling wake up from his reverie.

"Well, there is an ancient sword at home that is three feet three inches and three fingers wide, and grandpa asked me to buy a scabbard. It turned out that the scabbard was lost during the anti-Japanese war. ”。 Xu Ling said calmly on his face. If you don't tell this lie, you can't do it, look at the lotus flower in front of the door, this old man is also a noble person. If you buy it with mundane things, it will definitely be in vain. When I came, the proprietress explained.

"Oh, then you can take a look at the back lobby with my grandson, and take a handful if you see it." ”。 After saying this, the old man stood up and took the scabbard he had just made and went up the stairs from the side of the stairs.

This made the young man dumbfounded, grandpa had never sold scabbards like this, even old friends came there and asked carefully, what happened today? But since I said it, I was quite happy to be able to sell it.

Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the old man interrogated him, he really didn't know what to say. When I got to the back door, I knew that this was the courtyard of the second entrance, and the back was the place to eat and stay. In the lobby, Xu Ling saw more than a dozen sword scabbards. What makes Xu Ling strange is that it stands to reason that this ancestor and grandson should have a lot of inventory, why is there so little here?

"It's strange, isn't it?", the young man saw Xu Ling's doubts, smiled and said in a hoarse voice: "My grandfather and I sometimes make one a year, sometimes half a year, and the longest time my grandfather only made one for two years in order to find materials." So there wasn't much, my throat was like this because of the fire when I was a child. After speaking, he also smiled bitterly, just this is still with his help, otherwise it would be good to have half of the finished product.

Xu Ling's face was solemn, and he said in a respectful tone: "You and your grandfather are both respectable masters!" After Xu Ling finished speaking, he looked at the wall and found more than a dozen scabbards in various colors, white, yellow, light red, light gray, and black. Xu Ling observed carefully, and when he saw a black scabbard hanging on the top, his eyes were immediately attracted: the black scabbard was not conspicuous at all, but the simple and dull black made people feel glorious and restrained! The faint lines showed the ingenuity of the people, and the lines seemed to form a mysterious pattern, like auspicious clouds and flowers, and the more you look at it, the more people can't bear to look away.

"That's it!", Xu Ling said, pointing to the black scabbard.

The young man knew that he was going to choose this when Xu Ling was watching, after all, as long as he was a person who loved swords and could correspond to this scabbard, he would definitely choose it. This is also his grandfather's proudest work.

"Since my grandfather has agreed to you coming here, it means that you can buy it. But it's my grandfather's brainchild, and it's not cheap. 500,000!", the young man said with no expression on his face, just stretched out five fingers and said to Xu Ling. Xu Ling nodded, "Can you swipe the card?", this scabbard is worth this price.

In the end, it was a transfer, this kind of old house is still a provincial cultural relics protection unit, there are really no things that are too modern, Xu Ling didn't even see the network cable.

After transferring the account by phone, Xu Ling took the sword scabbard and left. I don't want flowers anymore, this girl is obviously a pastime. I'm going to buy some more stuff to prepare for entering the underworld. This time, I will rush back as soon as I confirm it. Yu Ying and Xu Bing's car is still in Hongdu, and the sapphire processing should be about the same.

But before he left the street, he walked to the flower garden and met Mu Yixin again, this time she stopped Xu Ling with an apologetic smile, which made him vigilant, this girl is eccentric, she won't play tricks on people again.

Seeing Xu Ling's vigilance, Mu Yi glared angrily, and said, "My dad said, let you in, hum! dare to say nonsense to make you look good!", Xu Ling was stunned, which play is this singing, the small one is finished tossing and the big one is over?

This time, Xu Ling thought about it, and when he saw Mu Yixin's parents, he knew that they had just come back from selling flowers, and when he saw that all the flowers had been watered, he knew that the little girl didn't do it herself. They know their daughter too well, how can people who would rather watch Korean dramas than move have this kind of mind. So after forcing her daughter to learn that it was Xu Ling who helped, she asked her to wait on the street.

Father Mu gave Xu Ling twenty blue rose seeds that he had promised, and then gave Xu Ling two pots at the price of two hundred and one pots. Otherwise, this upright man would have to sell him all! Two hundred is really not expensive, and they sell it to the outside for one thousand! In the end, Xu Ling also bought several thousand yuan of other flower seeds for space planting.

Xu Ling thanked them, left the courtyard with two pots of flowers, and prepared to go back to the hotel. Unexpectedly, Mu Yixin followed, and when Xu Ling went out and walked away, she asked: "What's your name?", Xu Ling turned around, saw the slightly blushing face, couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "My name is Xu Ling." Let's go, don't send it!", and left quickly.

When he returned to the hotel, the flower pot in Xu Ling's hand was already in the space, and the seeds had been planted. Xu Ling also went to the supermarket to buy a lot of food and supplies.

Early the next morning, Xu Ling left the hotel while it was still dark and embarked on a journey to the Scarlet Underworld. And Bai Xue, who had been taught by her family overnight, did not let go of the thoughts of Xu Ling in her heart. (To be continued.) )
