Chapter 40: Revisiting the Blacksmith

"I ...... No...... A-Niang died...... Yes...... Hmm...... "The baby cried incessantly, tearing her heart.

Lan Ge'er and I looked at the baby very pitiful, asked about the situation and comforted, and finally coaxed the baby not to cry.

I wanted him to enter the house and felt that it was not good luck to let a dead person into the courtyard, but in the end I didn't think too much about it and persuaded the baby to enter the courtyard. Let him rest in the grass hut next to him first.

The next day, under persuasion, he found a piece of land for Nawa to bury his mother, and on the day of the burial of his mother, in addition to crying for her mother, Nawa actually kowtowed solemnly in front of me, and she couldn't stop me, so she had to recognize me as a master. I think that baby is really pitiful, if it is his own life, in a chaotic world, with that amount of food, it is a matter of time before he starves to death, so he will allow it. So far, this baby has followed me, and has not changed his words, calling me master, I can be regarded as recognizing this apprentice.

The first apprentice after coming to the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing me tell me about the origin of this child, Uncle Qin asked, "Why don't you see this baby very often on weekdays?" ”

I said: "Alas, this baby is very stubborn, and he was originally arranged to have a room for him, but he ran to his mother's grave every day, and he ate and lived there, no way, I asked Jian Feng and Guan Yang to help him build a shed there, and he came over when he was hungry anyway." ”

Aunt Qin looked at the child and said, "It's really a filial baby." Before he finished speaking, he saw that the fire baby took four more fritters and stuffed them into his mouth, and hurriedly added: "It's just too edible." ”

"Who's to say it's not, since he came, we've more than doubled the amount of food." I smiled wryly.

Uncle Qin asked curiously, "Doesn't he have a name, how can you call him Huowa?" What about his father? ”

"There is a name, it seems to be surnamed Jia, called Jia Desheng, but I call him Huowa, you don't know, the weather is getting colder, we are all dressed thick enough, he, just a shoulder, he doesn't wear the clothes he is given, and he doesn't cover anything when he sleeps in the middle of the night, as if he really doesn't know the cold, so I call him Huowa, and my father died early. It was because his father died, and his mother knew that she could not support him, so she took him to join her relatives, but the relatives were not found, but on ......the contrary, alas, "I sighed.

"Then what should I do after this, just raise him, he is enough to eat." Uncle Qin exclaimed.

"What should I do if I don't raise it, just this amount of food, I will starve to death in a few days outside, but fortunately, our conditions are okay now, let's raise it first." I said helplessly.

At this time, Xie Jianfeng was also there, and interjected: "Hmph, I raised a person who eats for nothing, and he doesn't work, he eats a lot, and he has nothing to do!" ”

I was just about to say Jianfeng, but the fire baby suddenly stopped talking and said, "I work, and I will do whatever the master tells me to do in the future." ”

Everyone was amused when they heard this, and I also smiled and asked, "Huo Wa'er, how did you know that you were going to work today?" "Because in the past, the fire baby left when he was full, and never mentioned the matter of work.

Huo Wa'er said in a sullen voice: "My mother said that you must be a man to repay your kindness, Master is a good person, you adopt me, I want to repay Master." ”

I was happy, and at the same time, a warm current rose in my heart, who said that this apprentice has nothing to do, isn't this quite sensible.

As soon as I was happy, I said to everyone: "See, my apprentice said that he doesn't eat rice, so he can do whatever he wants." ”

Then I thought of something again: "Huowa'er, then you still live outside at night?" ”

The fire baby shook her head unexpectedly: "No need, last night my aunt told me that she wouldn't let me guard her, let me follow the master, I will live wherever the master lives, and I will do whatever the master tells me to do." ”

Hey, this baby is quite interesting, I just wanted to say something, but I felt that the people around me looked weird, especially Aunt Qin was originally quite close to the fire baby, and this would be far away.

After thinking about it carefully, it was still because of what Huowa said about the dream, and I was scared.

I didn't think about it either, I didn't take it seriously.

Suddenly thinking of Qiu Dalang's request for me to go to see his father Qiu Blacksmith, I decided that I should go and see him while I had time now.

As I could, Xie Jianfeng and the older children made room for the fire baby. After the arrangements were made, I told Lan Ge'er and Uncle Qin that I was going to Qiu Blacksmith, and Uncle Qin and his wife said, "Go ahead, here are us and Lan Ge'er, as well as some Da Lang's brothers outside, and there will be no problems." ”

Seeing that Uncle Qin and they understood my thoughts, I felt much more at ease, thinking that in the poor alley, there should be nothing to do, so I prepared some gifts, which can be regarded as a gift for Uncle Qiu.

If it weren't for Blacksmith Qiu's armor, I would have lost a few lives with those axes yesterday.

I don't have a gift that I can pay off, keep my promise, and do my best to take care of Qiu Jiaerlang Saburo in the future.

I was about to go out with a gift, but I saw a figure grab me and pick up the big bag of gifts.

When I looked at it, it was Huo Wa'er, and I said curiously: "Huo Wa'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Huo Wa'er said: "My mother said, let me follow you and protect you, so I will go wherever you go." ”

Hey, this kid, he's really stubborn, I don't have a little tail here, no, I have to talk to his mother, ah, forget it. Damn, I'm still not looking for it.

I persuaded Huowa'er not to go, but Huowa'er didn't say a word, just didn't move. At first glance, it's a stubborn species, alas, forget it, just follow it, fortunately, there is a bag.

I still secretly wondered in my heart: This baby is not very old, but his strength is really not small, the pig I prepared for Uncle Qiu is more than 100 catties, and I have a hard time carrying it, and he can carry it like no one. It's also strange, how can this little arm and leg get so much strength.

"Uncle Qiu, at home."

"Ha, Brother Yong'er is here, hurry, hurry, come and sit." Uncle Qiu was very happy to see me come to the house, and hurriedly let me in, and saw the fire baby coming, I didn't care at first, I thought it was to send something, and when I saw that he didn't leave, I couldn't help asking: "Who is this baby?" How do you look at the face? ”

"Alas, it's a new apprentice I've taken, and it's okay for Lao Ai to follow me. I came here today to let him meet you, come, Huowa, call Grandpa Qiu. "According to my generation, my name is Uncle Qiu, and Huowa should naturally be called Grandpa.

Who knew that Huowa glanced at Uncle Qiu, but she didn't say anything, she sat muffled and didn't move, and I was so shameless.

"Uh, this kid, Zhisheng, is still young, he has never seen the world, uncle, don't care."

Uncle Qiu didn't care about this older child, but just asked me how my situation was, I didn't hide it, and explained everything that happened yesterday to Uncle Qiu clearly.

Uncle Qiu listened silently, but he was not as surprised as I imagined, until he heard that Huang Chao and they finally killed all the people who fell to the ground in the Iron Axe Gang one by one, and broke into the county government to kill the county order and the county Cheng and the leader of the Iron Axe Gang, then he raised his eyebrows and nodded.

After listening to what I said, Uncle Qiu said after a while: "I didn't expect that this Huangchao is really a character, and he has some means." ”

Somehow, I always feel that Uncle Qiu is not simple, just because I just told Huang Chao what he did, ordinary people have long been shocked, but he didn't have much reaction.

I suddenly remembered that when Huang Chao saw my dragon knife, he asked me a name, and I asked casually: "Uncle, have you ever heard of Qiu Tiannan?" ”

Uncle Qiu turned his head to stare at me, and the essence of light in his eyes unintentionally burst out, and that kind of Ling Ran's momentum rose again, and I couldn't help but feel frightened, and I hurriedly said: "Huang Chao asked me yesterday, but Qiu Tiannan's heir, I don't know this person, so I asked Uncle Qiu, hehe, I don't mean anything else." I explained, a little awkwardly.

Uncle Qiu tilted his head, as if he understood where my question came from, his face slowed down, and the awe-inspiring momentum dissipated instantly, as if it had never been.

Then Uncle Qiu took a sip of tea and said, "I've heard of it, but it's been dead for many years." ”
