Shuibo Mountain, located at the junction of the Shushui Kingdom and the Great Lu Dynasty. The mountains are undulating and undulating, occupying nine tenths of the border between the two countries.

The mountains are surrounded by water, backed by the Yashui River. The river is more than 1,000 zhang wide, the water flow is turbulent and rapid, and the surging river is surging. Boats were difficult to cross, and most of them sank in the struggle.

also because of the danger of the Yashui River, the Shushui Kingdom was not destroyed by the strong and powerful Dalu Dynasty. The large-scale crossing of the river by the Dalu Dynasty was easy to be discovered by the spies of the Shushui Kingdom. Half of the river is silent, and the remaining soldiers are tired, and they will become a nightmare for the mainland dynasty when they are blocked by the Shushui country's naval army.

The mountains and rivers of the two countries are boundary, the mountains belong to the Shushui Kingdom, and the water belongs to the Dalu Dynasty. It's not that there is no contact, there is a pontoon bridge in the Cliff River, and there is no record of when it was built.

The bridge is less than two zhang wide and can be used by merchants and horses. The two countries are at loggerheads, but there is still a deal.

The pontoon bridge was so old that only fifty caravans and goods were allowed to pass through at a time. In the past, businessmen or dart masters all knew the stakes involved, so no team dared to force their way through, otherwise it would be small to lose other people's lives, and it would be big to lose their own lives.

The caravans and personal contacts between the two countries have formed a tacit understanding over the years. Each team passes through each other, alternating through each other. In order to ensure that there is nothing to do, there will be no forced onto the bridge when there are people crossing the bridge.

As for the darkness, no one can cross the bridge. There are stowaways, which are also a few, and security can be guaranteed.

The conditions did not allow a large influx of officers and soldiers, let alone the siege equipment. The Great Lu Dynasty did not pay attention to this pontoon bridge.

There are advantages and disadvantages, the natural topography of Shuibo Mountain, there is enough depth to escape in the concealment. led to some outlaws or fugitives, in order to avoid the arrest of the government. Most of them are hidden in the mountains.

Accumulate a lot and regard it as a bandit, also known as a mountain bandit. Zhanshan is the king and happy, and the government is powerless to exterminate them all. After coming and going, Shuibo Mountain became a lawless place in the country of books and water.

In this way, there is a vicious circle, some books are listened to too much, and the stories are believed to be true. I thought that eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl was heroic, and I took the initiative to go up the mountain and fall into the grass. Over time, the bandits in Shuibo Mountain became more and more rampant.

The front of Shuibo Mountain is mostly a barren desert, and there is only one small county, called Shanliang County. The soldiers of the Shushui State are stationed in Shanliang County.

Due to several times of Shuibo Mountain's suppression of bandits, Shushui Country has worked hard and lost money and cannot make contributions. Therefore, the mountain bandits in this place were left alone. There are a small number of soldiers who are stationed in Shanliang County all year round to protect the safety of water and soil.

The gates of Sanliang are open during the day for merchants and individuals. It is closed at night, and no one is allowed to leave or enter the city.

Mr. Su led Xing Zhen, and when he entered Shanliang County, it was already nightfall, and it was not suitable to go out of the city.

Xing Zhen thought that he would find an inn to stay for a night, but he didn't expect to be taken to a blacksmith shop by Mr. Su.

Mr. Su didn't knock on the door, and led Xing Zhen straight into the forging room of the blacksmith shop.

Yu Lao, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop in Yushan, is a tall and sturdy old man.

Wearing a gray jacket with some patches, he looks like a simple person. The old man is bold but strong, and when he speaks, his voice is like a bell.

Think about it, all year round iron for a living, physical strength is naturally much stronger than the average person.

When Yu Lao saw Mr. Su, he immediately put down the iron tool he was beating. Opened his arms and hugged him generously.

"Rare customers, Mr. Su, who is thousands of miles away, how can he have time to visit the shop. ”

It's not an exaggeration to say that the sound is like a flood bell, the first time we met. When I heard the words, there was a buzzing in my ears, as if there was a rampant current.

Mr. Su responded heartily: "Brother's voice is quieter, there are still children here." ”

Immediately introduced Yu Lao to Xingzhen, and then introduced Xingzhen to Yu Lao. When the old man heard Xingzhen's name, he was surprised for a moment. After glancing at the broken gourd on the young man's waist, he was relieved.

Xing Zhen was ignorant, so he had to chuckle back respectfully, and then stood by and listened to the two greeting each other.

It's nothing more than some, the old businessman has been doing well lately? I heard that the blacksmith shop and the private school are a bit troublesome, but have they solved it? The general Ji Leng and others have been doing well recently.

Mr. Su answered them one by one, and also asked some things about Yu Lao's blacksmith shop. Listening to his conversation, Yu Lao is a lonely old man, with no relatives, no reason, no children and no daughters.

Xing Zhen, who was on the side, was not interested in this, but the curiosity was that it turned out that Uncle Shang also knew the people from Shanliang City, but he didn't know if Uncle Shang also knew the mountain bandits.

In desperation, he began to look at the casting room, which was not large, except for a furnace vacated by Yu Lao. There are still three mouthfuls left, and one of them is clanging and banging is an acquaintance Yu Qinglu.

This guy's personality hasn't changed, and he's still stuffy. asked Mr. Su hello and gave Xing Zhen a smile. Then he continued to forge iron, as if in his world there was nothing but iron.

The remaining two blacksmiths, one is a middle-aged man with a big waist and a round waist. looks like a man with physical strength, and his personality is a little similar to Yu Qinglu.

Seeing that there was an acquaintance in the blacksmith shop, he looked back and didn't know him. Then he struck the iron and forged again, quite seriously and hard.

The other one looks at his physique, which is a bit out of place with the iron man. It's not thin, it's not strong. The temperature of the casting room is high, and they all wear short shirts, but Yu Lao Xing may be old and energetic, and he wears a jacket.

The man's arms were not thin, though not thin. But I can't see the grammar of muscles, and when I beat the iron, I am not as skilled as the old master.

These meticulous gaps cannot escape the criminal truth of careful observation and familiarity with iron forging. Although I am curious, I don't ask too much.

Mr. Su and Mr. Yu seem to have an unusual relationship, as if they have endless words. laughed heartily for a while, and was sad for a while, and the punishment next to him was really embarrassing.

Xingzhen's injuries are almost recuperating on the road. Standing for a while was nothing, but Xing Zhen was wearing a brand new cotton robe. In this hot casting room, it didn't take long for me to sweat profusely.

seems to have a feeling, in fact, it is more to take care of Xingzhen, after all, Mr. Su is a divine cultivator, and he will not care about this heat.

Mr. Su in the hot chat suddenly changed his words: "I said Lao Yu, Xing Zhen and I have been hungry all day on a cold day, you won't let us stand here all the time, right?"

After Yu Lao suddenly realized, he slapped his forehead and clasped his hands into fists: "Sin and sin, it's rude for me to be an old man." Let's go eat now. ”

Mr. Su said, "Where are you going, don't you eat at the blacksmith shop?"

Yu Lao was slightly ashamed: "Isn't this an atonement?"

Mr. Su said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that I'm going to borrow the punishment to really shine." ”

It seems that the old bottom has been exposed, and Yu Lao, who was already apologetic, was even more ashamed, and his face was slightly red.

"If you don't eat it, don't eat it and save a portion. ”

Mr. Su immediately retorted: "Why don't you eat, I'm just hungry." ”

Yu Lao waved his hand to greet everyone: "Work is stopped, put out the fire and go out to eat." Treat everyone tonight and eat hot pot. ”

Maybe Yu Lao is usually really careful and doesn't give these guys too good food. This is also expected, it is good for an elderly person to be able to cook, don't think about making a hearty meal.

After hearing the hot pot, the three people who were striking iron cheered and shouted: "Yu Lao Yingming".

The speed of extinguishing the fire and cleaning up the mess is at least three times faster than usual. Xingzhen, who has never eaten hot pot, is really so attractive?

Mr. Su said at the right time: "It's rare for Boss Yu to be generous once, so he will be generous to the end." I'll pick the place this time. ”

When Yu Lao heard this, it was even more ugly than asking for his own life, and his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, just eat it, don't waste it too much." ”

Mr. Su squinted at Xingzhen and quipped, "Look, I came with Xingzhen." ”

Yu Lao is like a cat that has been stepped on by the tail, with a purple eggplant color on his face.

Mr. Su laughed, and led Xing Zhenshuai out of the Yushan blacksmith shop first.

"Take you to the largest restaurant in Shanliang City, and let your kid open meat. ”

seems to be talking to Xingzhen, but in fact, he is more angry. Sure enough, the latter blew his beard and glared in the house, and scolded with his feet: "Su Yun, you stinky and shameless, next time I go to Qingyang Town, I will definitely slaughter it back." ”

Anyway, Mr. Su was really polite, and led the Xingzhen to a magnificent restaurant. It is called a time-honored brand with high value for money.

Yu Lao, who followed behind, almost lost his nose, and he didn't know how many catties of blood had flowed in his heart. Turning his head to discuss the three guys who came along.

"I think you three should go back and wait for a while, I'll finish eating here quickly and go back to cook for you." Make braised pork tonight, add a fish. ”

The three guys, including Yu Qinglu, pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not answer Yu Lao's words. They each quickened their pace and walked in front of Mr. Yu, and followed Mr. Su into the restaurant.

Yu Lao, who fell at the end, kept muttering: "Su Yun, you have no conscience, you three have no conscience, all of you have no fucking conscience." ”

A private room was chosen, with a four-corner table, and Mr. Yu and Mr. Su each occupied one side and sat next to each other. Xing Zhen and Yu Qinglu occupied one side nearby, and the remaining two occupied one side.

Xiao Er's cooking kung fu Yu Lao will introduce you one by one. The able-bodied man's name is Li Ergou, a native of Shanliang County. People are honest and honest as their name suggests.

The name of the thinner person is Feng Duozhi, who is also a native of Shanliang City. It seems that he is a person with a lively mind, but he has barely spoken along the way.

The wine and food are all together, and there is a wine glass in front of each one, but there is no punishment for the truth, but a cup of tea.

Yu Lao complained: "Why don't you give Xing Zhen a glass of wine, drink wine in winter to warm up." ”

Mr. Su hurriedly shook his head: "The punishment is really too small to drink." ”

Yu Lao muttered: Yu Qinglu didn't drink it the same, and the reader is just very particular. What difference is one year short. “

Mr. Su said: "It's not enough to be one year old, Yu Qinglu is about to be fifteen, and now it's only two months in advance to drink." The criminal truth is different, which is equivalent to one year and two months in advance. ”

Yu Lao was impatient: "Okay, okay, I'm most afraid of reasoning with you readers." It's always a set. "

"Come, let's go first. ”

Others drink real tea, so they don't have the heart or embarrassment to raise a glass together. Fortunately, I focused on the so-called food, and this hot pot really aroused a lot of thoughts among the teenagers.

When he looked down at the small saucer in front of him, Xing Zhen suddenly had thrilling beads of sweat on his forehead. The red layer is chili pepper if you guess it right. Xingzhen had never eaten like this before, and he was a little out of his heart.

Yu Qinglu, who put down the wine bowl, rarely spoke: "I felt spicy when I ate it for the first time, and it was good to eat it a few times, and I enjoyed it very much." ”

Yu Lao echoed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not spicy at all, it's just scary to watch." ”

Li Ergouzi smiled, Feng Duozhi was more extroverted, and he was more interested in shooting the boss's horses.

"It's not spicy, it's not spicy, it's really not spicy. ”

Mr. Su is the most sensible: "Less dipping and slowly adapting." ”
