About four quarters of the hour.

Team leader Sun Lei came to Yushan's cabin, took away ten taels of silver, and gave Yushan a voucher for repaying the money with the seal of the money bank and the amount of ten taels of silver.

Yushan looked at the credentials carefully, and was a little puzzled, so he asked Sun Lei, the team leader, how did Qian Zhuang know that he could repay ten taels of silver today?

Team leader Sun Lei did not answer, turned around and left.

As for the person entrusted by the money village to collect the money, it will be Team Leader Sun Lei, Yushan has long guessed in his heart, even if it is not Team Leader Sun Lei, it will be someone who is familiar with Team Leader Sun Lei, otherwise how could Team Leader Sun Lei be so clear about Yushan's debts.

At the end of the Shen hour, dusk is near.

The lively and lovely sister Yi'er appeared, although she came late today, but she accompanied Yushan to eat dinner before leaving.

Before leaving, Yi'er said a little gloomily that she couldn't come to see Brother Yushan every day for nearly half a month, and Teacher Qin Li asked her to practice the piano every afternoon, and she went to Teacher Qin Li's yard to practice the piano, and it was impossible to leave secretly.

As for the morning time, Yi'er had to go to the teaching attic in the formal cadet area to study, and Yushan also had to work, so neither of them had time to meet.

Looking at Yi'er's aggrieved little appearance, Yushan felt distressed, and said a lot of comforting words, which finally made Yi'er's sister smile and leave happily.

March 16, the beginning of the month.

As soon as Yushan stepped into the door of the handymanyard, the familiar figure was already in front of him, and Senior Sister Hu Yao was carrying a bag of steamed buns in her hand as always.

Immediately afterwards, Senior Sister Hu Yao took Yushan out of the Handyman Institute and went to the Forging Institute.

The scale of the forging institute is not smaller than that of the handyman institute, and the environmental facilities are also better, and there are pavilions, rockeries, large pools, and vermilion promenade small gardens.

Senior Sister Hu Yao brought Yushan to a middle-aged man, and she was not afraid that her sister was the eldest sister Hu Yao, who suddenly looked a little restrained, giving people a very well-behaved feeling, and her face flew red.

The middle-aged man is tall and big, with a square face and a thick beard, bulging muscles, standing extremely upright, and he is a picture of a hero standing up to the sky.

Senior Sister Hu Yao introduced to Yushan, that is Master Hu.

Yushan's heart tightened, isn't this good man his father a senior sister?

Seeing the middle-aged man looking up and down at the young man in front of him, he opened his mouth and said, "Boy, Lao Tzu is your senior sister and her father!"

Yushan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Meet Master Hu and Uncle Hu." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes bulged, and he spoke very quickly, "Boy, do you want to call Lao Tzu Master Hu or Uncle Hu?"

Hu Yao pursed his lips and snickered.

Yushan was embarrassed, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Yushan began to be nervous before entering the door, and he was even more nervous when he arrived, the middle-aged man's eyes were drummed to make Yushan nervous, and the speed of his speech made Yushan always feel that he didn't hear too clearly, as if the other party was asking: Do you want to call me, Lao Tzu, Master Hu, or Uncle Hu?

Why do you think I want to call him Lao Tzu? How can I answer that?

"Listen, boy, stand up!" Seeing that the mountain was sluggish, the middle-aged man frowned and shouted.

Yushan felt like thunder, his body shook, his feet were together, and his body was straight.

Then, the ears rang - "Raise your head!" "Chest up!" "Stomach tightened!"

"Look at eye level!" "Turn right!" "Run!"

"Ten laps around the field. ”

Yushan listened to the instructions and moved, and the whole process did not hesitate at all, and there was no time to hesitate at all. After running out, Yushan secretly looked back at Senior Sister Hu Yao.

But I saw Senior Sister Hu Yao's gaze coming intimidatingly, as if to say: Idiot, do you want to ask if running is considered a salary?

Yushan hurriedly avoided Senior Sister Hu Yao's gaze and hurriedly ran forward honestly.

Hu Yao smiled brightly. However, as soon as the middle-aged man's gaze came, his smile suddenly vanished.

The middle-aged man said, "Xiao'er, can this kid do it? ”

Hu Yao pursed his lips and replied: "Dad, didn't Yao'er take you to see the wood-chopping field!

The middle-aged man raised his hand on his chin and touched his beard back and forth, "But Lao Tzu has just carefully investigated and determined that this kid has not yet entered the door of cultivation, if he only relies on brute strength and some sharp hands and feet, he can split hundreds of trees into standard-sized matches in just six days, which is indeed incredible." ”

"Isn't Dad able to do it too?" said Hu Yao.

The middle-aged man puffed his eyes and said: "Lao Tzu is forty-six this year, that kid is only sixteen, Lao Tzu is thirty years older than him, can he compare?"

"Cut. Hu Yao pouted, "Grandpa is eighty-six miles this year, can he carry three hundred catties?"

"Ghost girl, you are looking for a fight!" The middle-aged man was annoyed and angry, and scolded: "It's so delicious and lazy, you know to ask Lao Tzu for money all day long, you eat money!"

Hu Yao rolled his eyes and was silent.

The middle-aged man continued to teach: "I will be twenty years old after the New Year, and I don't know how to bring a son-in-law back to Lao Tzu. ”

"It's only March now, and people still have ten months of girlhood, okay, is there a father who is so anxious to take his daughter out?" Hu Yao's face was full of grievances.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, held back his words, and turned his head to look at the running boy.

The middle-aged man's name is Hu Tu, and his identity is the chief master of the Forging Academy, and he has an overview of all the forging needs of the Yunmeng Martial Academy, including swords, iron tools, buildings, etc., and his status is equivalent to the level of senior teacher and senior deacon.

According to the status structure of Yunmeng Martial Academy, the highest level is the dean, followed by the vice president, the third level is the senior teacher, senior deacon, chief business teacher, forging chief engineer and other senior or chief teachers, the fourth level is with intermediate level, the fifth level is ordinary teachers and ordinary deacons, the sixth level is the official student, and the miscellaneous student has the lowest status and is the seventh level.

has a father who is not low status as a backing, and it is no wonder that Senior Sister Hu Yao acts domineeringly, so that ordinary people dare not provoke her.

Hu Tu's ancestors have produced forging masters from generation to generation, and the same is true for Hu Tu's generation, and he is even more outstanding, and his status has reached the chief master of the forging institute.

never thought that Hu Tu had only one daughter like Hu Yao so far, and there was no son, seeing that the forging family was about to stop at his generation, Hu Tu naturally had a fire in his heart.

But the nest fire is the nest fire, and the daughter still has to hurt.

Don't look at Hu Tu's scolding on the surface, in fact, Yao'er knows that there is no one in the world who loves her more than her father.

At the same time, Xiao'er also knows that he wants to feel sorry for his father, and he knows what is burning in his father's heart.

So Xiao'er wanted to help her father find a successor to the mantle, no, through her observation, Yushan was a very suitable candidate.

So Yao'er was busy, and finally sent Yushan to Hu Tu logically.

To engage in forging, you must be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, have patience and perseverance, not opportunistic and not shortcut, relying on physical strength, not some martial arts to use Yuan Li can work.

Yuan power comes from the accumulation of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it is obtained from years of accumulation, and who would waste it on the iron pillar weapon?

Besides, there is not enough time for cultivation, so how can there be time to strike iron.

Even Hu Tu, a person who entered the door of cultivation decades ago, and now has become unfathomable, has always only used his body strength to do forging work, not his yuan power.

As for Xiao'er saying that his father can also control the mountain and chop wood, it naturally refers to the fact that he does not exert his yuan power.

Xiao'er is nineteen years old this year, which is not too old among the miscellaneous soldiers.

Of course, in terms of the life experience of the child, it is completely possible not to go to the miscellaneous student area.

However, this is not the only one who does this, but almost all children born and raised in the mountains have to start from the miscellaneous cadet area.

What if it happens, what if a child born on a mountain like Yao'er doesn't end up being able to enter the door of cultivation?

Then, just be a miscellaneous student for the rest of your life, and if you can stand out in the future, you may also be promoted to a deacon, an intermediate deacon, or even a senior deacon.

In Yunmeng Martial Academy, the deacon and the teacher are two lines, the former does not have to be a martial artist, and the latter must be an outstanding martial artist. As for the chief teacher and the like, there are those who have cultivated to a high level of martial arts, and there are those who do not follow the path of martial arts.

After running ten laps, Yushan returned to Hu Tu and Yao'er.

Seeing that the mountain did not change color and his heart did not beat, as if he had just gone for a walk, Master Hu was unhappy and said a few words: "Go, run another hundred laps." ”

Yushan carried out with a bitter face.

It's not a matter of how tiring and bitter it is to run 100 laps, if you have the money, even if you run 10,000 laps, why not?

If you want to say that there is a salary for running a circle, who believes it?

Yushan was anxious, looking forward to working early, that is, the work of striking iron that Senior Sister Hu Yao said yesterday, and didn't want to waste time on running laps, so he kept speeding up, running as fast as he could, and finishing the work as soon as possible.

However, today is destined to be the day he runs laps.

After running a hundred laps, before Yushan came back to recover his life, the middle-aged man stretched out a finger to him from afar, "Run another thousand laps." ”

On the side, Senior Sister Xiao'er smiled and bent over.

As the saying goes, mud bodhisattvas also have three points of temper.

How can Yushan not have a trace of temper in his heart, but dare not speak out, there is that good man who stands up to the sky, do you dare to be a moth?

Next, Yushan thought that he had to finish the run at noon so that he could rush to lunch, and as for today's work, then don't think about it, it is estimated that there is no hope.

However, when the mountain was like flying, trying his best, he finally ran a thousand laps, and was looking forward to a hot meal and hot food, a sentence came from afar:

"Boy, do you want to eat? Then don't stop, run until the end of Shen Shi, and have dinner. If you kid dare to play tricks, I'll let you roll down the mountain today!"

The voice fell.

The father and daughter walked away with a smile and a smile.

There was only one teenager left on the field, running laps.

Outside the gate of the forging courtyard, on the way to the cafeteria, the girl couldn't bear it: "Dad, will he starve?"

The man snorted twice: "I can't even resist this bit of hardship, I still want to be the successor of Lao Tzu's mantle, dream!"

After walking a few steps, the girl couldn't help it: "Dad, Xiao'er wants to bring a few steamed buns back, and he can run while eating." ”

The man smiled dryly: "Yes, one or two pieces of silver, deducted from your pocket money, with that kid's appetite, it shouldn't be that you rich lady will be poor." ”

The girl snorted, turned her face away, and gave the air a blank look.
