Xin Zi squatted on the ground, looking down at the knife blank that gradually turned from red to black.

The sound of the originally hot blade against the ground was like a sneer.

Laugh at her for not being able to do anything.

The beautiful and cold aunt wanted to hand over a qualified knife by herself tomorrow, but now she could not even take the first step of picking up the knife blank from the furnace and transferring it to the sink.

After Liu Siya brushed her sleeves and left, she hid in the dark and observed this little girl who couldn't see the shadow of that person on her body, but her appearance was very similar to her, and she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth after seeing that she couldn't even do the most basic fixed movements as she expected.

Do you really think that if you agree to help you forge a knife, the matter will be solved? It's naïve.

With a sneer in her heart, Liu Siya turned to leave, no longer looking at the little girl who was squatting on the ground and couldn't tell whether it should be despair, pain or regret.

Not to mention two days, it would take ten or eight days for a reckless man who is good at forging to master the essentials of this craft for the first time, not to mention a half-grown little girl like Xin Zi who has no power to restrain a chicken.

So Liu Siya was not in a hurry to see her results at all, but leisurely rode the white tiger around the river mussel forest a few times, looking for whether there were human beings who did not know whether they broke into the forbidden area and killed their lives.

It's not that she deliberately put water on the time limit, it's just that she is confident that even if Xin Zi's stupid girl is given ten days and a half months, she may not be able to shoot a qualified weapon. In this case, if you pass later and end the girl's pain later, you will be more satisfied, so why not?

The more Liu Siya thought about it, the more she applauded her plan, and even her steps on the road were much lighter, with a faint smile on her face.

Looking at the past from afar, if people who don't know who she is and the purpose of her trip see it, they are afraid that they will be so amazed that they will hold their breath and think that the Sacred Heart Niangniang is alive.

But in the shop. Liu Siya couldn't hide her disappointed look.

There was no expected clanging sound from the shop. There was no moaning or screaming of the little girl, it was incredibly quiet, and there was not even a little popularity.

When I looked closer, I saw Xin Zi lying on a small stool. He rested his head on the back of his chair and slept deeply. His face was so black soot that he could barely see it. His clothes were soaked with sweat. There were blisters on both hands, and there were several burns on the feet, arms and neck.

Xu is afraid of pain. Xin Zi's sleeping appearance was very strange, her hands and feet were exaggeratedly stretched out, standing in the air, bowing her back, and her posture was a little funny like that of the natives in the tribe who danced around the bonfire, but she had a smile on her face, and she slept peacefully.

There's a reason why I can sleep so peacefully.

There are random unformed blanks of various swords of different widths and lengths around her, and it can be seen at a glance that they are all defective products caused by poor technology in the process of hammering and forging, but even if they are all failed works, you can still tell that the level of forging is uneven.

Judging from these unqualified swords that were discarded aside, with Liu Siya's experience, it can be clearly felt that the production level of these swords has improved rapidly, and it can be said that with such understanding, he will definitely be able to practice an excellent sword-casting technique in less than three or five years.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly stupid Ah Zi actually reflected her own shadow back then, allowing Liu Siya to find the original intention of being enthusiastic even as a craftsman's assistant when she first entered this industry for a long time, and the persistence and stubbornness that even if the master was unwilling to teach too much craftsmanship, she could rely on her spirituality and wisdom to understand the mystery of it.

This made Liu Siya's cold face show a rare look of surprise, but she still didn't believe that these defective products were from Xin Zi's hand, and turned to the old janitor who had been silently guarding the door of the shop and cast a suspicious glance.

said that he was an old man, in fact, it was just compared to the young and handsome appearance of most of the witches in this forest, but in human society, such a look was just the appearance of a man who had just passed the age of confusion and was at the peak of his life.

But the old man among the witches has been guarding the door as a janitor since the day this shop was built, and he has nothing to ask for in his life, but he silently stays there, watching the witches in this forest divide and merge, and watch the owner of this shop change and replace three generations, until the recent young woman named Liu Siya took over.

Seeing that the owner of the shop was suspicious of himself, the old man's exaggerated series of coughing sounds came out of his throat hoarsely, as if protesting, seeing that Liu Siya still refused to stop looking at him, he had to smile helplessly and shake his head, and knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand with a one-meter-long sound against the stone under his feet.

It is no wonder that the young hostess suspected that she had secretly helped the little girl, that is, after she left the shop last night, she sat at the door and watched the little girl crack and crack, and after knocking on the wrong point, she not only failed to form the billet under her hand, but injured herself, and then she couldn't stand it and tried to help.

But what shocked him was that the seemingly soft and weak little girl's heart was much tougher than he expected, and she firmly refused in the face of her own initiative to lend a helping hand.

"My aunt shouldn't want me to rely on the help of your seniors to complete this task, this is the test that my aunt gave me, if I can't even pass this, how can I help her complete the follow-up casting process?"

The little girl said this to herself at the time, looking at her pair of watery but unusually firm eyes, the old man did not insist any longer, sat back on the chair by the door, lay down comfortably, smoked a long cigarette pouch leisurely, watched the smoke rings he spit out in mid-air disperse little by little, and did not interfere with the work of the little girl's hands.

So now that Liu Siya asked, he could shake his head and deny it so justifiably.

So Liu Siya looked at him calmly, and no longer suspected that he was a gunman.

The old man, who got rid of the suspicion, sat up straight again, with a playful look in his eyes, took off his chin and pointed in the direction where Xin Zi was asleep, and mysteriously motioned to Liu Siya to go over and take a look.

Liu Siya frowned slightly, but she still obediently turned her head to look over, only to find that there seemed to be something hidden behind Xin Zi who was sleeping and was secretly shining with cold light. (To be continued.) )
