Chapter 17 Splendid Workshop
Jinxiufang, just across the street from the Yamen, has several spinning wheels placed under the eaves for people to use. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as I entered, there was a dark and luxurious carpet in front of the counter; The beams on both sides hung red silk; Strangely, however, the precious brocade that should have been placed on the wooden shelves on both sides was scattered around, and several of the shelves were empty. The shop was empty, there was not a single customer, and the two young men yawned boredly.
Seeing Jian Xu walk in, one of the young men immediately greeted him, put on a flattering smile and asked, "Welcome, this son, I wonder if the boy wants to buy cloth or customize clothes?" ”
"No, I'm here to find someone, what about your shopkeeper? I'm looking for him. Jian Xu said straight to the point.
"Huh? Okay, please wait a while, and the little one will immediately ask the shopkeeper. When the young man heard this, he immediately invited the shopkeeper from the back room.
A middle-aged man dressed in blue and white silk, with a mustache on either side of his lips, two eyeballs between the fat on his face, and his hands folded together rubbing back and forth. When he saw Jian Xu, he immediately stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "The contemptible person is the shopkeeper of the Splendid Fang, I don't know what this son is looking for me?" ”
"In this way, you are the shopkeeper of He. Under the sword, entrusted by our Lord, come to the splendid workshop. "Jian Xu hugged his fists.
"Oh?! Did Michigan Hiro Zhenzi ask you to come? Shopkeeper He looked Jian Xu up and down, "It's really unseemly, I didn't expect Daxian to be so young!" "Shopkeeper He is a sycophant.
"Hehe, just call me Jian Xu, I'm not an immortal." Jian Xu waved his hand.
"Hmm~, the Taoist is really modest. Come! Chief, please move to the back room, this is not the place to speak. Shopkeeper He stretched out his hand sideways.
"It's fine." Jian Xu said, and walked to the back room with Shopkeeper He. "Hurry up and make tea!" Shopkeeper He hurriedly instructed the young man. "Yes!" The young man who got the order ran to make tea in a hurry.
In the back room, the two of them sat down. Jian Xu asked: "Shopkeeper He, the viewer only told me that Jinxiufang was in trouble, and he didn't say anything in detail, so if it's convenient, please ask the shopkeeper to tell me about it." ”
"Alas~, there's nothing convenient or inconvenient, if this matter is not solved, I won't be able to live this day." Shopkeeper He sighed, and then said: "My splendid workshop, it has suffered a disaster. In recent days, there have been many more goblins around the county for some reason, and there are too many, but they are all eyeing the splendid workshop, and the good materials in my workshop will be lost in three days. The guests didn't dare to come after hearing that there was a goblin in the fairy. ”
"Just now I told my eldest daughter to take a good look, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, the fabric was lost again, and she actually fell asleep on her stomach! I was angry for a while, so I scolded her, but I didn't expect her stubborn temper to come up, and actually said that she was going to snatch it back, how could she beat those goblins, and I hope that you will help me bring her back. ”
"Oh, I wonder where she is now?"
"She went to the Splendid Forest in the south, and asked the Taoist chief to bear with her, the little girl has a stubborn temper, if she offends, the villain will compensate the Taoist chief here first." Shopkeeper He said that he wanted to bend down and salute.
"No! What shopkeeper, don't be like this. And ask the shopkeeper to wait here for my good news. Jian Xu held up the shopkeeper He and said.
Jinxiufang is located in the northwest of Ninghai County, so when Jian Xu arrived at the south city gate, it took about half a pillar of incense. Before he left the city gate, Jian Xu had already seen his target: Sister He, the eldest daughter of the shopkeeper. At the same time, another figure also came into Jian Xu's eyes. The two were chattering about something.
Jian Xu walked straight towards the two, and the two who were talking noticed someone coming, so they stopped and looked at Jian Xu.
Jian Xu stood in front of the two of them, clasped his fists and said to his sister: "This girl, I think you are my sister, right?" Before my sister could answer, a playful voice sounded, "Who are you?" Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone? ”
"Sister! I'm sorry, this son, I'm my sister. Sister glared at the person who spoke just now, that is, Sister A. was glared at by Sister, Sister pursed her lips and turned her head.
"What this girl said is reasonable, she is being rude, and she is being sword-like."
"Jian Xu Gongzi, I don't know how you know the little girl?" Sister's eyes flashed and she said.
"Entrusted by the Order, I have come to find you." Jian Xu said politely.
Unexpectedly, my sister's face immediately changed after hearing this, and she snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! What did he tell you to do! I think you should have some skills, why don't you look at the fabric for him. Then he turned his face and said to Ah Mei: "Ah Mei! You're waiting here, I'm going to fight those goblins right now! Grab the fabric back! With that, he strode angrily towards the Splendid Forest.
"Wait!" Seeing this, the sword flashed and stopped in front of the sister. "Sister, the goblins are not easy to get along with, you go, but the meat buns beat the dogs - there is no return!"
"What's your business! Anyway, my dad doesn't just care about his brocade, why bother with me! Sister said angrily.
"If Shopkeeper He doesn't care about you, how can he ask me to come to you......" Jian Xu persuaded, and Ah Mei on the side also persuaded him. Under the persuasion of the two, the sister's anger gradually subsided.
"Humph! My father lost the brocade, and it would only make me angry. "Sister is still a little angry, "I haven't slept for several days in order to guard Nishikori, I was really sleepy just now, so I fell asleep on my stomach, I didn't expect the goblin to take the opportunity to make trouble, and stole Nishiki, my father saw it, and scolded me indiscriminately, I couldn't get angry, and ran out." Sister secretly wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "Sword Xu Gongzi, I don't know if you can teach those hateful goblins a lesson and snatch the brocade back for me." ”
Looking at Sister's expectant eyes, Jian Xu could only nod and said, "Okay, please go back to Jinxiufang first and wait for my good news." After speaking, he summoned the spirit claw wolf and set off towards the splendid forest.
The Splendid Forest is wooded, and although there are no ancient trees, most of them are decades old and lush. Jian Xu rode the spirit claw wolf straight towards the Splendid Forest, and within a few steps, Jian Xu could see a bunch of goblins gathered in front of him, and a few wooden boxes were scattered around.
"I guess the stolen brocade is in a wooden box." Jian Xu thought to himself, and then carefully observed the distribution of goblins. There were six wooden boxes, and the sword was facing three of them, and there were no goblins guarding them; One bite is placed in the upper left corner, and there are two little demons; The last two mouthfuls are guarded by five little demons.
"Let's get the goods in our hands first." The sword, who had made up his mind, urged the spirit claw wolf to step forward.
Oh! The Spirit Claw Wolf roared! The limbs exerted force at the same time, and disappeared in place with a bang, and the little demons who were originally alarmed by the roar searched for a person and a wolf in confusion.
Whew!! Suddenly, there was a loud sound in the sky above, and all the demons looked up in unison, and a black dot continued to magnify in their field of vision, and then magnified... It's a clawed wolf! At the same time, a ghostly figure appeared near the wooden box while the attention of all the demons was attracted by the spirit claw wolf.
Whoosh! Quietly swept away all the wooden boxes, and also took out two swords, and two thin blood lines appeared on the necks of the two little demons in the upper left corner. After sweeping away all the wooden boxes, Jian Xu planned to leave......
"What a big bold! Leave your life behind! Suddenly, a figure appeared in the oblique ground, and the long sword in his hand stabbed straight into Jian Xu's body.
Bite! When there was no room for it, Jian Xu raised the spirit sword in his hand to block the fatal sword, and when the figure had not yet made the next attack, Jian Xu preemptively flattened the spirit sword, and the spirit sword was attached to the long sword, and slashed at the five fingers of the figure holding the sword.
Seeing the sharp spirit sword slashing towards him, the figure hurriedly floated back to the ground on tiptoe, but after all, it was no faster than the spirit sword that came horizontally, and there were more blood marks on his waist and abdomen. The figure looked at his scars and his face was gloomy. He said slowly: "Good boy, my Feng Hai Niang has not been injured for a long time, but I didn't expect to be hurt by your stinky kid today." Then he stared at Jian Xu fiercely, "Give it all to me!" Feng Hai Niang beckoned, and the remaining little demons rushed up in a swarm.
Oh! Not to be outdone, the spirit claw wolf pounced towards the five little demons, and in the blink of an eye, the five demons and one wolf fought together. Seeing this, Feng Hai Niang did not go up to help, but raised her sword to kill Jian Xu.
The sound of clanging and clashing blades was endless, and dazzling sparks shrouded a person and a demon. But the unexpected always catches you off guard.
"Sword Intent!" The cold light in the sword's dark eyes was bursting, just like a sharp sword out of its sheath, and the spirit sword in his hand was killed from an incredible angle, but it was natural. Burst! The spirit sword easily passed through Feng Hai Niang's block and pierced its throat, Feng Hai Niang's eyes bulged out, staring at Jian Xu deadly, gurgling in her throat, and then her eyes darkened, and she fell to the ground.
Seeing that the master was mighty, the spirit claw wolf also roared, tearing apart the frightened little demons three times and dividing them by two, and let out a roar of victory.
After clearing the battlefield, Jian Xu rode the spirit claw wolf back to the Splendid Workshop.
