Today's Brother Shao is no longer the young man that Fu once knew.

His original name was Liu Qiang, and he was a modern man. Four years ago, he suddenly woke up and found that he had become an ancient boy in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, who was thrown as a dead man in a mass grave outside the city in the river, and was later rescued by a strange old Taoist priest. Then he gradually figured out that he "died" in the war in which Guo Wei rebelled against Li Shouzhen in the Later Han Dynasty.

The old man claimed to have cultivated half of the immortals, and was known as the sleeping fairy and the shakyo. The reason for saving Liu Qiang was that he felt that the five elements of qi in his body were very contradictory, and his face was watery, but there was a breath of fire on his body. Liu Qiang was very scared at the time, afraid that this old man would get him to the alchemy furnace to study, and he wanted to run away if he was looking for an opportunity; But he didn't escape, he was chased by the old man, fortunately he didn't do anything to Liu Qiang, and tore a few pages of paper with pictures and words, and gave him a "elixir" for nothing, so that he could practice according to the pictures and texts to remove the fire attribute on his body. Of course, Liu Qiang didn't eat his elixir, and he took the elixir and got out after thanking him.

Then he wandered in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms as an ancient. The worries of the next world have faded away in the long four years; But there are always three or two things, and I'm afraid time can't cure them. There are some regrets, some worries, and some unfulfilled wishes.

……

"Bang Bang ......" hammer after hammer, and he was still striking iron. He fought not the iron he sold, but a pair of breastplates.

The sunset has disappeared into the depths of the tall Chongming Gate Tower, leaving a brilliant orange-red afterglow in the western sky, reflecting the ancient city tower more tragic and majestic. The non-stop heavy physical labor all day made the sturdy Brother Shao'er a little unbearable, only to feel that his shoulders were weak and his brain felt dizzy.

The noble lady he saw before, Guo Shao had an impression, which came from memory and belonged to the memory of the "young man". In particular, the images that people see before death are extra clear when they are reawakened...... The blurred vision, the skirt and the slender figure in the distance, the young man lying on the ground and stretching out his bloody right hand with difficulty, seemed to want to grasp something, or wanted the beautiful woman to look back and look at her one last time. The sight finally froze.

"Bang!" Guo Shao swung a hammer very hard. The young man in his memory is too young, he hasn't understood what this world is going on in just his life, and his obsession with "Bai Fumei" Fu Shi makes Guo Shao unable to accept it.

However, one thing is certain: how great a person's beliefs or desires are, how much they are willing to pay for them.

At this time, Yulian in the back room shouted that it was time to eat, and she had already prepared the meal. The old man who pulled the bellows got up to carry the water and said, "Brother Shao, the sun is going down, let's do it tomorrow." ”

"You eat first, just leave me a cake, don't wait for me, the Chen family lady has to rush back to cook for her man after eating." Guo Shaotou said without replying, "I'll make up a few more hammers to make this armor well, I don't have time tomorrow, and I have to go to the school early in the morning to nod people." ”

The old man asked, "Is the forbidden army really going abroad to fight?" ”

Guo Shao responded casually.

This shop is Guo Shao's property, and he bought it with the accumulated military salary. There are three people in total, but they are not a family, the old man's surname Huang and the little daughter-in-law Yulian are all hired people. Old man Huang is an old blacksmith in the countryside, and he uses tools such as hoes, kitchen knives, etc., and the sales and prices of things are far inferior to those of the shops in Tokyo; The wages of helping here are more than the income from selling iron in the countryside.

And the little daughter-in-law of the Chen family, Yulian, has a very coincidental background, in her memory, when the "young man" was a guard in Li Shouzhen's mansion a few years ago, she was the maidservant of the Li mansion, and she was actually a person she once knew; After the impermanence of the world and the displacement of things, I saw it again in Tokyo. Guo Shao learned that her life was very embarrassing, and when he missed the old days, he hired her to do some chores in his blacksmith shop; In fact, most of the money earned in the shop may be taken by her, because Guo Shao was in the forbidden army for many days when it was his turn to be on duty, and he couldn't pay attention to the business of the blacksmith shop, so he had to let Yulian toss casually.

Her name is Yulian, and it is said that her surname is Dong, which may just be a surname she made up at random.

The man in Yulian's family has a broken leg and can't work, and she is a young woman who washes and cooks in a bachelor's house, and there are inevitably gossips in the market. Guo Shao doesn't care, but it seems to be very difficult for her...... It's obviously not a pleasure to be talked about and chew your tongue. I often see Yulian with her head down as soon as she goes out, walks quickly, and doesn't talk to anyone.

Gradually, night fell completely, and Guo Shao finally put down the work in his hand. The whole wall of the blacksmith's shop was open, and there was no such large door panel as the door, which seemed to him to be equivalent to the roller shutter door of later generations.

Guo Shao walked into the backyard and immediately saw that the food on the table in the dining room had not moved, Yulian was sweeping the floor with a broom, and Lao Huang was sitting on the threshold repairing a pair of iron tongs. Guo Shao realized that the ancient rules on the table were not obscure at all, he was the youngest but the master, and no one dared to move the chopsticks if the master didn't eat.

The staple food is soup cakes and white noodles, which is probably the material guarantee that can keep people. In this era, not only in the land of famine and starvation, but also the local landlords were reluctant to eat white noodles often.

After dinner was cleaned up, Yulian hurried to leave. Guo Shao saw that it was dark outside, and went out from the back door to a deep alley with bad light in her house, so he got up and said, "I'll send you." ”

Yulian hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, Guo Lang will rest early, and I'll make breakfast tomorrow morning." ”

Guo Shao insisted: "Tokyo just looks peaceful. ”

Yulian lifted the prepared basket, and Guo Shao followed her out of the back door, and there was an alley outside. In this commercial neighborhood, there are shops in front of the street, and in order to save space, the back is just a high and narrow alley; Merchants and craftsmen live in the back, and often throw some garbage into the ditch in the alley, if it doesn't rain for a few days and doesn't wash it away, there will be a foul smell in the alley.

Yulian, who was walking in front, buried her head, looking very embarrassed timidly, and glanced back and forth quickly from time to time, as if she was afraid of meeting an acquaintance. Guo Shao walked behind, and quietly admired her back, in fact, her figure line is very good, her thin waist is flexible, and her hips can support the skirt to form a very beautiful fold, even if the skirt is very shabby, but the real good figure will not be covered by the cloth skirt. The contrast between the patched gray cloth collared blouse and the white neck is reminiscent of a lotus flower in the mud.

"What's wrong?" Yulian looked back and saw Guo Shao's strange gaze, and couldn't help but say.

Guo Shao shook his head and raised his chin at the door in front of him: "You have arrived, go in." ”

"Hmm." Yulian seemed to want to say something polite, and was stunned for a moment and silently fled into the old house.

The light of the oil lamp lit up on the bamboo-woven papier-mâché window, and suddenly a loud "pop" was heard, followed by a woman's scream, and a man's voice scolded: "Faceless and skinless!" Stealing men again! The woman whispered something in her voice, and immediately heard the "ding" sound of a ceramic container breaking.

"Lao Tzu can't walk with his legs, and his ears are not deaf! There is a kind of you who colluded with that adulterer and killed Lao Tzu! ”

Guo Shao listened to it clearly, and although he sympathized with Yulian, he was helpless. No matter who hears the gossip of his wife and others, I'm afraid he can't stand it...... But the conscience of heaven and earth is innocent. Maybe the man of the Chen family hasn't fully understood his situation, and he has fallen into the field where he is now, either humiliatingly and stealing his life, or dying a hundred, can he really blame his wife?

Soon I heard the man's voice say, "Wine! Wine! No more alcohol! ”

Yulian's voice was very small, she couldn't hear it really, she didn't know what she said, and suddenly she heard a chaotic sound of ping-pong, and the woman's cry was very miserable.

Guo Shao was furious when he heard this, and looked down to see that there were a few sticks of firewood next to him, and he picked one up and walked forward. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and she saw Yulian covering her face with one hand and holding her arms with tears on her face, and she was stunned when she saw Guo Shao.

She immediately noticed the wooden stick in Guo Shao's hand and the murderous aura on his face, her bleak expression turned into horror, and she said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?" Rumors are spreading in the neighbors, you beat him to death, will the government not know? ”

The people in the room shouted, "Who are you talking to?" ”

Yulian gritted her teeth and waved her hand to signal Guo Shao to leave quickly. At this moment, the people in the house shouted again: "Anyway, you are so lewd and cheap, go and wait for the adulterer all night, don't you have the money to buy wine?" Haha......"

The "click" firewood was also pinched by Guo Shao, making a sore sound. When practicing, you can pull the arm strength of the three-stone strong bow, if you wave the firewood and hit it alone, I am afraid that it is either a broken bone or a broken firewood!

Yulian held her breath and stared straight at his face, her eyes shining brightly, waiting for something. There was pleading in his expression, but there seemed to be excitement and anticipation.

"I'm not sure yet." Guo Shao said coldly, and then bent down and put the firewood in his hand into the firewood pile calmly and lightly.

Yulian looked at his back, a little puzzled...... Not sure what to do? A young man who is strong and serves in the army, has he not been sure that he has beaten a disabled person who can't even stand up?

Several windows nearby were temporarily lit up, and the movement here may have made the seven aunts and eight women have had great fun, and Brother Shao'er's whereabouts are difficult to hide. The right way is to let people not know unless they do it themselves.
