Chapter 9 Iron-struck
Time flies, from fifteen to thirty in the blink of an eye.
But for a teenager, life is like a year.
In the past half a month, the only thing Yushan has to do every day is to run laps on the playground, every day from the beginning of the Mao hour to the end of the Shen time, a full six hours, non-stop, even the lunch at noon.
If you don't have lunch, will you be hungry?
Of course, I will be hungry, and I have been consuming physical strength but replenishing energy in exercise, who can bear it?
But on the contrary, the mountain was carried by the mountain.
The boy was completely supported by perseverance, especially in the first few days, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he was so hungry that people were about to faint, the boy gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, stay awake, and desperately didn't let himself fall, didn't let himself stop.
Later, it gradually got better, because the boy found that as long as he kept inhaling more air and absorbing it rhythmically and evenly, his hunger would not be so strong, and his physical strength would be maintained longer.
The more he went to the back, the more accustomed the teenager was to inhale air and fill his stomach, and he felt more relaxed day by day.
The boy once said to himself: "I didn't expect to be able to fill my stomach by breathing air, but unfortunately I knew it too late, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have had to be so hungry before." ”
As for what is more difficult than this, what really makes Yushan live like a year is mainly because I don't know when I can officially start working iron, and I don't know the bottom of my heart.
I don't have a bottom at all! After all, Yushan already trusts Sister Yao'er very much, and Yushan can feel that Sister Yao'er is really helping herself, and she has really given herself a lot of help.
Therefore, Yushan tried his best to do a good job, even if it was just a lap, he had to run to the best, so that Master Hu would not dislike it.
These days, there are fewer pregnancies, and of course, there is a reason for that.
Every day, the middle-aged man will stand in front of the window and silently watch the mountain run laps, sometimes smiling from the heart.
Xiao'er understands in her heart that her father recognizes Yushan, and it's not just as simple as recognition, with her daughter's understanding of her father, it is estimated that her father is secretly happy in his heart.
However, Hu Tu didn't want to be seen, so he didn't have a good look at Yushan from beginning to end.
But Hu Tu also knew in his heart that he couldn't hide his goblin daughter at all, so he warned Yao'er again and again:
"Stay away from that kid, if Lao Tzu sees that he is a little complacent, Lao Tzu will let him roll down the mountain on the spot. ”
As a result, the child avoided the mountain as much as possible, so as not to ask the east and the west about the mountain.
If she really can't avoid it, she will deliberately be fierce and domineering, so as to deter Yushan from asking her anything.
In fact, Yao'er is very happy in her heart, because the more demanding her father is on the surface, the more satisfied he is with Yushan and the greater his expectations.
Xiao'er's feeling is right, Hu Tu really thinks that Yushan is a good piece of jade.
It's a piece of jade, so you have to polish it well.
Judging from the test of running laps on the playground with high intensity every day, there is no problem with Yushan's perseverance.
So, what is Yushan's cultivation qualifications, and is it possible to enter the cultivation gate?
Regarding this question, Xiao'er asked Hu Tu, and Hu Tu said two words meaningfully: "Maybe." ”
In Yao'er's view, "maybe", that is, it is possible, so as to be happy for Yushan from the bottom of his heart.
So, is it possible for a child to enter the door of cultivation?
And the answer is: no.
Generally speaking, if you haven't opened the door of cultivation at the age of twenty, you are basically outside the door.
Xiao'er is only 19 years old this year, and there are still 10 months to reach the age of 20.
In fact, when Shang Zai'er was just born, he had already decided to cut off the path of cultivation.
This involves Hu Tu's unforgettable sadness.
Nineteen years ago, the mother of the infant was accidentally poisoned during pregnancy, and the toxicity not only dragged down her own body, but also affected the fetus.
His beloved wife died, and Hu Tu was grief-stricken.
What made Hu Tu even more desperate was that even the child was in danger of dying, and it was very likely that he would die.
But Hu Tu did not accept his fate, and tried his best to snatch Yao'er back from the hands of death.
It means both prosperity and death.
Hu Tu chose the name of his daughter because he wanted to put his life in front of him and fight for his life.
In the end, Hu Tu did it, and Xiao'er grew up.
Hu Tu's first wish is for his children to grow up healthily.
Hu Tu's second wish is for Yao'er to find a husband who loves her, loves her, protects her, and prevents her from being wronged.
Hu Tu's third wish is to continue the signboard of the forging family, and it is far less important than the first two wishes.
Therefore, in order to take care of the child wholeheartedly, even if the signboard of the forging family will stop at Hu Tu, Hu Tu has no intention of marrying another wife and having children, and even the apprentice will not be confiscated, after all, it will take a lot of effort to teach a good apprentice.
The first day of April, the beginning of the month.
Yushan finished breakfast and prepared to continue running laps in the playground.
A dignified and generous middle-aged woman walked to Yushan's side and introduced that she was Qiu Lan, the deacon of the Forging Institute who was responsible for distributing subsidies, and then gave Yushan eleven taels of silver, saying that this was Yushan's subsidy in April, and according to the rules of the Forging Institute, the monthly subsidy would be issued on the first day of the first month of the month.
Yushan took the silver and bowed to Deacon Qiu Lan in thanks.
Deacon Qiu Lan smiled slightly and didn't say much.
However, before leaving, Deacon Qiu Lan mentioned: "Yushan, it will be good to call Aunt Lan in the future." ”
Yushan nodded and watched Deacon Qiu Lan leave.
After that, the boy took the silver and was in a daze for a long time.
It is estimated that I never dreamed that there would be a subsidy of eleven taels of silver per month for working in the forging academy, which is ten taels more than the subsidy of other miscellaneous students. In this way, in addition to paying off the debt with ten taels of silver every month, you can save one tael of silver left.
Somewhere in the Forge Temple.
Seeing that Deacon Qiu Lan was back, Xiao'er ran over and hugged her and said, "Aunt Lan is so good!"
Qiu Lan smiled with a smile on her face: "It can make us save money and raise money, and I also mobilized Aunt Lan to go over and send the silver in person, that kid is not simple!"
"Aunt Lan, I'm here to find an apprentice for my father!"
That being said, Yao'er seemed to blush a little.
Knowing that people can see through it or not, Aunt Lan smiled silently and said: "That can't make us suffer, Aunt Lan is reluctant, over the years, Aunt Lan has also accumulated a lot, and the ten taels of silver that are advanced every month will come from Aunt Lan." ”
Xiao'er hurriedly said: "How can this be done? Even if Xiao'er is thick-skinned enough and not afraid of troublesome Aunt Lan, if my father knows, I will be beaten up." ”
Aunt Lan touched Xiao'er's head very lovingly, and said, "Silly boy, can your father know our little secret?"
Yao'er grinned and said, "It's best to have Aunt Lan as a confidant! With such a confidante as Aunt Lan, my father's life is good!"
"What nonsense is the silly kid talking about!" Aunt Lan said hurriedly, her face flushed in an instant, but her heart was very sweet.
on the playground.
The middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded, like thunder, "Boy, go to the iron room." ”
The young man in a daze trembled all over, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the iron room.
Iron house.
The boy picked up the sledgehammer with both hands.
The middle-aged man held a fiery iron bar in his left hand and a small hammer in his right hand.
According to the essentials taught by middle-aged men, look at the point, listen to the sound, point where to hit, and point to a few forces.
Bell, bell, block--; bell, bell, block--; bell, bell, block-
The rhythmic sound continued.
At first, the boy seemed a little rusty, but soon became more and more proficient, and in the back, the middle-aged man occasionally smiled.
I don't know when, there was a figure outside the window, the cat stretched out its head, pursed its lips and snickered.
When immersed in something, time always flies, and before you know it, the girl with the cat's waist sticking out her head has been there for a while.
Inside the house, the middle-aged man glanced out of the window out of the corner of his eye, and wondered in his heart: "Is it so good to strike iron?
Take a look once in a while, that's called a fresh picture.
But every morning and afternoon, if you stretch your head for an hour or two, something is wrong.
At a certain moment, the middle-aged man's heart suddenly tightened, as if he understood something, and suddenly, he turned his face on the spot and yelled at the young man who picked up the sledgehammer:
"Boy, get out of here, run a thousand laps!"
Yushan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly went out, and then ran laps on the playground. From beginning to end, the boy was confused, and he didn't know where he didn't do it.
After Yushan went out, the middle-aged man scolded and scolded: "Day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves, dare to steal my daughter's heart, see if Lao Tzu doesn't clean you up!"
scolding, the middle-aged man slapped it down, and it happened to be slapped on a sledgehammer.
The next day, Yushan came to the blacksmith early and cleaned up the inside, and when the tools were counted, it seemed that there was something missing and something more.
Subsequently, Yushan held a "shovel" that did not look like a shovel and was puzzled for a while.
