Mo Yan took Gong Changqing to a blacksmith shop in the south of the city, the shop was not large, there was no signboard on the door beam, but there was a wooden signboard next to the door post, on which the word "iron" was written. There are all kinds of agricultural ironware and household ironware at the door of the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion.

"Big brother is here, I saw them making masks not long ago, and the masks are shiny and beautiful." Mo Ye said excitedly to Gong Changqing.

Gong Changqing looked left and right, and didn't see any mask at all; Could it be that the wild brother is dazzled. Mo Ye also looked at the store with some doubts, but he didn't find the mask, and he also wondered if he had made a mistake.

"Guest officer, do you want to hit a hoe or a firewood knife?" A white-haired old man in his fifties walked over and said.

"I want to put on a mask." Gong Changqing put the silver pocket on the table and said to the old man.

"I'm sorry officer, we don't wear masks here, we only have some farm tools, you think you should go to another house and ask." The old man replied to Gong Changqing in a bit of a panic.

"That's right, it's you, I saw you wearing a mask a few days ago, why are you still lying at such an old age!" Mo Ye said in a very affirmative tone.

"Don't talk nonsense, yesterday the government was still informing the blacksmith shops in the city that masks are not allowed, otherwise you will lose your head. You're okay, or you can go to another house and ask if it's okay. The old man was a little anxious to take Gong Changqing and Mo Ye away, because Gong Changqing and Mo Ye's dress didn't look like they could get the money at all.

Gong Changqing didn't know that a few days ago, some masked people robbed the government's silver, and the government was investigating everywhere. Gong Changqing only thought that this old man hated that he had no silver, so Gong Changqing poured all the bags of silver on the table.

The silver of Bai Huahua made a pleasant sound, and a large square table was instantly filled with silver of Bai Huahua. Seeing this situation, the old man is willing to let go of this big customer, he is also dozens of years old, he has never seen anything, as long as he does it hidden, there is nothing that cannot be done.

"Guest officer, please come here." The old man invited the palace chief to the inner room to speak.

The old blacksmith repeatedly asked Gong Changqing about his intentions, and determined that Gong Changqing was just a pure masked person, not sent by the government to investigate. Looking at the scar on Gong Changqing's face again, he finally made up his mind to create a mask for Gong Changqing.

Gong Changqing didn't expect that this old man who struck iron actually had a unique skill, that is, drawing, he tailored a mask for Gong Changqing according to Gong Changqing's face shape and the size of the scar; But it's still on paper, and he needs the consent of Gong Changqing to start doing it.

The bright silver-white color directly covered Gong Changqing's left eye, and the scar was on the lower left side of the left eye, so the mask was not very large, and it did not cover the entire left face, but naturally blocked the position of the scar in a flowing form. It would take two hours to make it beautiful, which is no small task for a veteran blacksmith.

Gong Changqing felt that it was very suitable for him just by looking at the drawing, so he immediately finalized: "Just do it according to the drawing, the materials should be the best, don't worry about the silver." ”

The old blacksmith naturally knew, because he had just seen the silver that Gong Changqing had put on the table, not to mention one, even ten were enough.

"Please wait outside, Childe, and I'll go in and build it for you right away, but you have to pay the honorarium first." The old man shrewdly looked at the silver bag in Mo Ye's arms.

Gong Changqing walked over and poured out half of the silver in the silver bag, which Mo Ye had managed to put all into the bag just now. Now Gong Changqing started pouring silver again without saying a word, but Mo Ye could only watch.

Gong Changqing pointed to the half bag of silver on the table and said, "These are enough." ”

The old blacksmith saw so much, at least more than two hundred taels, in fact, he just wanted to say that as long as fifty taels, fifty taels were the price that the old blacksmith reported hard, and he thought that Gong Changqing would bargain, at least not less than twenty taels. The old blacksmith saw that Gong Changqing was so bold, how could he say a word. He quickly loaded the silver from the table into his iron box, and then walked straight to the inner room.

"Son, start work, use the best materials, do the finest work." The old blacksmith shouted loudly in the back room, for fear that the palace chief would not hear it.

Gong Changqing and Mo Ye were sitting at the table at the door, and suddenly a middle-aged woman in her forties came out of the back room. He held a plate of dried fruits in his hand and a pot of tea.

"Two sons, you wait a minute, eat some fruit and drink some tea first. Our boss is sure to give you a thing that satisfies you. The middle-aged woman didn't know what Gong Changqing was going to fight, but she was called out by the old blacksmith to greet Gong Changqing.

Gong Changqing took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table and said, "You have ready-made clean clothes at home, bring me two sets." ”

Gong Changqing saw that Mo Ye's clothes were a little tattered, and he hadn't changed his clothes for many days. There are several holes in his sleeves, and with the fights these days, the clothes on his body have begun to fall off. The clothes in the tailor's shop outside are tailor-made and take days to get them.

The middle-aged woman couldn't take her eyes off the silver on the table, and hurriedly said, "Yes, of course there is, please wait a while." ”

It is really rich that can make the devil grind, and the middle-aged woman quickly came up with two sets of clothes.

"This set of clothes is custom-made for my son, I haven't worn it yet, I wanted to wait for him to wear it during the New Year, since Childe needs it today, Childe's body size is similar to my son's. Then I'll give this outfit to you, Childe. The middle-aged woman handed a white dress to Gong Changqing, although it didn't feel as good as what she had worn before, but it was still a good dress, and the style and color were more satisfactory to Gong Changqing.

The middle-aged woman handed another piece of clothing to Mo Ye and said, "I gave it to me, and it was just made, so I haven't had time to wear it yet." If Childe likes it, wear it. ”

When Mo Ye heard that it was worn by the old man, he immediately showed a somewhat displeased look; However, when I saw the color and style of the clothes, I also showed joy.

Gong Changqing and Mo Ye put on new clothes respectively, and sure enough, they relied on clothes and horses to rely on saddles. Gong Changqing took off his already somewhat worn clothes and looked more energetic. And Mo Ye changed even more, took off his beggar outfit, put on a white robe, and washed the dirt on his face, which was clearly the appearance of a teaching gentleman. But if you look closely, Mo Ye is still a relatively young and good-looking teacher.

Gong Changqing was very satisfied with his clothes, and when he saw that Mo Ye was also dressed well, he was happy, and took out two ingots of silver from his pocket and gave them to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman who saw the money was open, and even more seriously patted her ass, praising Gong Changqing and Mo Ye like gods in the sky.

Soon, the old blacksmith's voice came from the house: "It's done, please come in and take a look." ”

Gong Changqing followed the middle-aged woman to the back room, the old blacksmith carried a thing in a tray, covered with a red cloth, anyone could guess what was inside, but except for the old blacksmith, no one could guess exactly what it looked like.

Gong Changqing had seen the drawings of the mask, but he was not sure what the real thing was. The old blacksmith handed the tray to the palace chief and motioned for the palace chief to untie the red cloth. Gong Changqing did not hesitate to lift the red cloth, just like lifting the bride's red hijab, but he has never really lifted a bride's red hijab so far.

The red cloth was lifted, and suddenly the silver light shone. Gong Changqing stretched out his hand to touch it, and a cool feeling penetrated through his heart.

Under the guidance of the old blacksmith, Gong Changqing put on his mask. It's time to take a good look at yourself, and everyone doesn't speak. The middle-aged woman handed a bronze mirror to Gong Changqing, who slowly looked at herself from the bottom up, starting from her chin, of course. The familiar mouth, the familiar nose, the familiar half of the face, and the other half are wrapped in a beautiful mask, and there is no trace of any scars, the size and position are completely right, with no trace of discomfort. Gong Changqing touched the mask on his face with his hand, and the exquisite carving marks did not affect his image at all, but instead had a little more manly majesty than before.

From today onwards, no one in the past will recognize themselves, and a new life will begin at this moment.

Gong Changqing had no words to thank the old blacksmith for the mask he had made, and the only thing he could do was to take out a few ingots of silver from the bag and hand them to the old blacksmith; This made the old blacksmith a little embarrassed to accept it again. However, the middle-aged woman didn't know how much silver the old blacksmith had already pitted Gong Changqing, so she unceremoniously accepted Gong Changqing's reward.

Gong Changqing and Mo Ye came out of the blacksmith shop, and the sky had gradually pressed. The two beggar-looking people who had just entered the blacksmith shop from the outside were now two handsome and mighty young men who came out of the blacksmith shop.

"Big brother, where are we going now?" Mo Ye said with half a bag of silver.

Gong Changqing said without hesitation: "Of course it's going to a fun place, you follow my brother on the first day, my brother can't let you go to live in the Taoist Temple again." Find a place where you can eat, drink, play, and sleep. ”

"Big brother, are we going to the inn?" Mo Ye continued to ask.

Gong Changqing said with a smile: "Sort of." ”

A new beginning is to celebrate in a new way, Gong Changqing gently patted Mo Ye's head. The two continued to walk in the evening twilight, and their figures disappeared around the bend from the south to the east of the city.
