Chapter 5: The Wooden Sword

Three days later, in the Drinking Moon Village, because it was early in the morning, the morning fog blocked the view, and because it was a valley, the fog in the Drinking Moon Village was even thicker, but fortunately, the fog came and went quickly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Not long after the sun rose in the sky and the morning light poured down, the morning mist gradually dissipated, revealing the mountains and villages covered in thick fog.

At this moment, the mountains and forests are lush and green, and at a glance, the green leaves are turning in the morning breeze, and the morning mist is still rolling and rolling, forming a beautiful picture.

The morning breeze is blowing, and although it is early in the morning in the square in the village of Yinyue, there are many people busy, and several carriages are placed with large and small goods, and it seems that they are going out of the valley today......

More than ten meters away, a big tree stands here, it is an old locust tree, I don't know how long it has grown, but it is still luxuriant.

There was a rock under the tree, but there was a young man lying on it, looking at the busy crowd, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Xiaohu, so you're here too......" A voice came from the side, and the boy lying on the rock immediately got up when he heard the sound and looked at the place where the sound came from.

I saw a young man walking slowly in the mist, with a little surprise in his eyes.

"Are you coming with you when you go out of the village to sell goods today?" Xiaohu looked at the approaching Xiaoguan and asked slowly.

"Of course, this is an opportunity that I begged my father and mother for a long time......" Xiao Guan nodded, with excitement on his face.

"There are only three opportunities to go out of the village to sell goods in January, and you want to go out of the village every time......" Xiaohu shook his head helplessly, because he is a young man in the village, and he will inherit the old man of the village in the future, so he naturally has to increase his experience in seeing the world, so every time he goes out of the village to sell goods, Xiaohu will follow, and he has always been used to it, but he was surprised that Xiaoguan was so looking forward to selling goods out of the village.

"I usually only have one chance to go out of the village in a month, of course I think about it every time......" Xiaoguan leaned against the big rock, looking at the gradually thinning morning mist, with a faint expectation in his eyes.

"Why?" Xiaohu was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Xiao Guan woke up and turned around, not knowing why. ”

"Why do you want to leave the village so much, isn't it good to be in the village?" Xiaohu asked the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and every time he saw Xiaoguan leaving the village, he would wonder why he was not as excited as him.

"Of course it's good in the village, but ...... I really want to be like those immortals flying in the sky, free and easy, how nice it would be......" Xiao Guan pointed to the sky, his eyes full of expectation.

"Become an immortal?what are you thinking about every day......" Xiaohu was stunned, and then shook his head, immortals are too far away for them, even out of reach!

"Of course I know I can't be an immortal, but it's nice to see an immortal......" Xiao Guan's eyes dimmed slightly.

Soon, the carriage was filled with goods, but the two teenagers climbed on top of the goods, and sat on it to face the golden morning light, with a look of enjoyment on their faces.

More than a dozen villagers were already familiar with this matter, and drove their horses out of the village slowly along the only road out of the village on the square......

Due to the long distance and the fact that the horses were still on the road, the speed was not fast, and it took a full day to reach the 'Prayer Heaven City' where they sold their goods.

Walking on the road of Qitian City, the faces of more than a dozen villagers and two teenagers of Yinyue Village were full of joy, surrounded by shops, crowds of people, and a lively look, which was extremely rare to see in Yinyue Village......

"Xiaohu, there are so many immortals...... Xiaoguan looked at the sky and said with an envious expression.

"What did you say?" Xiaohu was looking down and calculating where he was going to play after the goods were sold today, when he suddenly heard Xiaoguan's envious voice and couldn't help but be stunned.

"I just counted, and there were thirty-five immortals flying in the sky just now...... Look, there's another ......"

Xiaohu glanced at the sky, and a stream of light flew through the sky at a speed that was not very fast, but the people in the city were indifferent to the immortals flying in the sky, obviously, they were used to these things......

"Boring ......" Xiaohu shook his head, but there was a trace of envy in his eyes, the legendary immortal cultivators can live forever and fly away from the sky, how can they not yearn for these eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers?

"Here, here, you wait here, I'll go find the king's shopkeeper......" The carriage stopped in an alley, and a villager walked down, obviously very familiar with this place, and immediately greeted and walked into a store.

With his back to the little tree, Xiao Guan felt bored, looking at the father and mother who were sitting in the carriage eating dry food and drinking water, Xiao Guan's eyes flashed with light.

"Father, mother......" Xiaoguan called softly, and Xiaoguan's father, who was eating dry food, looked down at the reddish young man, and glanced at each other, but the woman smiled and spoke.

"Guan'er, do you want to go to your Uncle Lin to buy a wooden sword?"

Xiao Guan, who didn't know how to speak, suddenly raised her head, but was met by the woman's smiling face, and immediately lowered her head and whispered.

"Yes......"

"Hehe, come with me......" Liu Zhuang smiled, got out of the carriage at the same time as the woman, and walked out of the alley with the little crown.

"Dad, you...... Do you really agree to buy me a wooden sword?" Xiao Guan was a little afraid to believe it, he seemed to be cheerful, but he was extremely introverted, and he knew that his family was poor, so he never reached out to his father and mother to ask for money, and could only take a saber to make a wooden sword himself when he was bored, even so Xiao Guan was very happy.

However, when he accidentally saw some wooden swords carved in the carpenter Lin Xiuwen's shop in the Prayer Heaven City, he was deeply attracted by this, and whenever he entered the Prayer Heaven City, he would run to the carpenter alone to watch the process of making them.

After coming and going, he also met this forest carpenter, but he never thought that by chance, he actually found that this forest carpenter actually knew his father and mother, and he was overjoyed but didn't know how to open his mouth to buy a sword.

After walking a short distance out of the alley, I came to an inconspicuous storefront, except for a carpenter's plaque in front of the storefront, there was no superfluous decoration, simple and simple, and a big tree was quite conspicuous standing not far from the store's door......

"Hehe, there are guests coming...... hearty laughter fell into the ears of the three people who had just stepped into the store, only to see an unkempt middle-aged man behind the counter walk out, and saw the three people obviously stunned, and then the smile on their faces became more obvious.

"Xiao Zhuang, how can you have the heart to come to my carpenter's shop today?" Obviously, this person is the shopkeeper here, the forest carpenter.

"My kid wants the wooden sword you made, don't worry, it won't be for nothing......," Liu Zhuang greeted and walked closer, took out a few copper plates from his waist and put them on the counter.

"Haha...... You still like to laugh so much, okay, I will accept this copper plate, come, see which wooden sword you like, I will take it off for you......" Perhaps because he was happy to see his friend, the carpenter squatted down with a smile, pointed to the dozen exquisite wooden swords placed on the container, and asked.

Xiao Guan was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at the wooden sword, and suddenly, his heart throbbed, and he looked at one of the wooden swords with confusion.

There was nothing unusual about the wooden sword, except that it was slightly more delicate than the others, but it hadn't changed much.

And every time Xiao Guan came, the first thing he saw was this wooden sword, and he remembered those storytellers: It is rumored that immortals pay attention to the law of fate, the so-called fate comes and goes, and when you see it, you have a fate, which is fate......

"I want that wooden sword......" Stretching out his hand to the more delicate wooden sword, Xiao Guan spoke.

"Boy, you have a good eye!Okay, I'll take it down for you......" Complimenting Xiao Guan, the forest carpenter turned around and took the wooden sword and handed it to Xiao Guan.

"This wooden sword was carefully crafted by me, and a stone I picked by the river was added as an ornament......, how about it?

"Thank you, Uncle Lin......" Xiao Guan took the wooden sword in surprise and couldn't put it down.

"Dad, mother, I'll go out to play with Xiaohu first......" As if wanting to show off, Xiaoguan waved his wooden sword, turned around and ran out of the store.

"Your son is really nice, what's his name?" asked the woodworker with a satisfied nod as he looked at the disappearing figure at the door of the shop.

"Liu Yiguan ......" Liu Zhuang slowly spoke, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

"Yiguan?hehe, I didn't expect you to remember the original champion, alas...... It's no wonder that you are only one step away from becoming the champion, and it is no wonder that ......" Lin Carpenter sighed, and then did not say anything more on this issue, but chatted with him.

"Xiaohu, it's already noon, I'm a little hungry......" Xiaoguan touched his belly, his left hand still holding the delicate wooden sword, and an inconspicuous gray round stone at the end of the hilt slid into his palm with a hint of coolness.

"It's all your fault that you ran so far that I almost got lost...... Xiaohu glared at Xiaoguan, after he got the wooden sword, he pulled himself around, and played until noon, he almost got lost, fortunately Xiaohu remembered the route, otherwise the two eleven or twelve-year-old boys really didn't know what to do......

"I didn't mean to...... Huh, where's the convoy, what about Daddy?" said Crown walked to the entrance of the alley with his head down, he remembered that this was where the convoy stayed, but ...... But it was empty, and the convoy was gone!

"What's going on?" Xiaohu looked at the traces of the convoy on the ground, his face couldn't help but change, he could clearly see that the convoy seemed to have returned to the village, leaving the two of them here......

"Daddy, mother!" Xiao Guan shouted as he ran straight into the shop where he had sold the goods before.

"It's Liu Yiguan and Zhao Xihu......" A voice fell into the ears of the two teenagers, and they saw the shopkeeper Wang walking out of front of the counter and looking at the two teenagers with a smile.
