Early the next morning, the drunken Sima Xin woke up and had breakfast with Sima Chang. Sima Xin wanted to say goodbye, and Sima Chang did everything possible to keep guests.

But in the end, Sima Xin left Shunyang. Out of Shunyang City, he took a long breath, and the first thing was completed.

Li Chongjing, who is thirteen years old this year, looks thin and weak, has a rather restrained personality, and has a face with clear eyebrows.

Every day in Qingzhuling, he got up listening to the bell, went out with the three people in the same house, gathered, and run.

Thinking about the changes in the past few months, he feels like a dream in his life now. Therefore, he was cautious, for fear of waking up from his dream and going back to the past.

For as long as he can remember, he has lived with his uncle Li Baiguo, and they live in the narrow courtyard of the North Lane in Chunfengli. And my uncle was sick all the year round, and they barely survived with the help of their neighbors.

Last winter, a fire destroyed everything about them, as if the world had abandoned them, and everyone stayed in their dilapidated tents in grief and dazedness.

Later, Zheng Shizi came, and Grandpa Li said that we were going to a new place where we could have a full meal.

My uncle came with me. Many people in the spring breeze have come to Qingzhuling together, and it is a very novel world.

The place where he lived was called the dormitory, and it was a large two-story house, neatly arranged. There are three buildings in the dormitory, and he lives in the middle building, which is close to the east side.

A building can accommodate many people, all of whom are teenagers his age.

He heard Xiao Xiaozi, who was in the same dormitory as him, say that one building can accommodate 80 people, and now the two floors A and B are all full, and the southernmost building C also has a lot of people. He had recently studied mathematics and had done the math privately, and there were about 200 people living here.

But he didn't know the concept of two hundred, in short, there were a lot of people.

Li Chongjing only entered the 12th house of the second floor later. Xiao Xiaozi is an "old" person who has been living in the 12th house.

However, listening to Xiaoxiaozi, because there are a lot of newcomers this year, each dormitory is basically based on the old and the new. For example, there are four members in the 12th house on the second floor, Xiao Suzi, Liu Guzi, Qian Mingsheng, and Li Chongjing. The latter three are all newcomers who just arrived this year.

The newcomers are very strange, and the person he is most familiar with is Xiao Suzi, who just arrived in Qingzhuling and separated from his uncle, and a boy of the same age led him here with a straight face.

He was the first newcomer in the Twelve Houses, but in this unfamiliar environment, Little Suzi greeted him in a friendly manner, "Hello, my name is Little Suzi." ”

is of the same age and has a similar personality, but the progress in cooking skills in the past two years has made Xiao Xiaozi no longer timid, and he has become the head of the dormitory very carefully. Soon, Li Chongjing became acquainted with Xiao Xiaozi, and they became friends.

As for the other two people in the dormitory, they all went to the Tiger Guard Camp.

It's different from Li Chongjing and Little Millet.

In fact, in the camp of Xishan, he and Xiao Suzi are outliers. Little millet is a person in the big kitchen and cooks. And he is the man of the Iron Valley, the one who strikes iron.

Uncle Li Bai will strike iron? When Li Baiguo took him to the Iron Smelting Valley and picked up the hammer in front of him, he was stunned.

Then, something even more surprising happened.

Xiao Xiaozi went to study at a place called Qingzhu Academy. After a while, he also went there to study.

Reading, this is something he didn't dare to think about before. His uncle, Li Baiguo, taught him to write, but he only learned to write his own name.

But soon, Li Chongjing was confused. In addition to literacy, you also need to learn mathematics, that is, counting. In addition to these, there is the hardest chemistry.

But he also realized that it was a magical subject.

Because, chemistry was taught to him by the prince himself, but the son of the world, but the one who brought him here!

So, he has to study hard.

After taking a lesson on matter and classification yesterday, Li Chongjing felt too stupid. What Shizi talked about was novel and complicated, he seemed to know everything, and he felt that he understood everything in class, but when he came to the end of class, when he recalled it again, he found that he had forgotten most of it, so he asked Captain Zheng Shang some questions.

I forgot it, I can only remember it again. At night, after lying in bed, he still meditated with his eyes open. Then I don't know when, I fell asleep.

Today, he was woken up by the little millet, "Hurry up, it's time to assemble." ”

Li Chongjing sat up and shook his somewhat drowsy, stinging head.

"What's wrong with you? It can't be sick, right? Little Millet asked him.

"It's okay, it's just a bit of a headache." Li Chongjing quickly packed up and went out with Xiao Xiaozi. Liu Guzi glanced at Li Chongjing contemptuously, and was in the company of a cook. Liu Guzi hated this person who was also from the spring breeze like him.

Qian Mingsheng pushed him, "Don't say it, go back to the array, it's almost late." ”

The dormitory is built by the river, with a large kitchen to the east and a large playground to the south.

At this time, the teenagers in the dormitory were rushing to their respective arrays, in fact, most of the dormitory were the same people, so everyone went out and rushed to the set location together.

But the twelve houses on the second floor were different, and Li Chongjing and Xiao Suzi rushed to the westernmost array. And Liu Guzi and Qian Mingsheng, after merging into the crowd, soon arrived at the fourth place of the left team to which they belonged, stood in, and formed the team.

Shi Chang Danlong watched his people line up, there was no shortage of people, and he also stood in the team.

The fourth tith stood in the form of two rows and five columns. On the left and right of the fourth, there were neat small squares.

After running a lap in the playground, go out of the camp, cross the bridge, run along the bluestone road into the mountains, run across the bluestone road, run through the bluestone road, and then run forward for a section of dirt road, turn back and run back.

Back in the playground, the large phalanx was disbanded, and everyone began their own morning exercises.

Before Qian Mingsheng and Liu Guzi could breathe, Shan Long asked them to stand upright with a straight face. At this time, on the north side of the playground, Xiao Xiaozi was saying goodbye to Li Chongjing, Xiao Xiaozi was going back to the big kitchen to cook, Li Chongjing was going to Yetie Valley, and then went to Qingzhu Academy. They will meet at the College.

Liu Guzi caught a glimpse of this scene, his heart was uneven, and his posture immediately stood crooked.

Why! I'm going to be punished here, Li Chongjing can run around casually, he doesn't accept it!

Shan Long kicked over, kicking Liu Guzi and almost knocking down Qian Mingsheng beside him.

Fourth, Shishi Chang Shan Long is not like other Shi Chang, the team member is wrong, and he first opened his mouth to reprimand. Shan Long made a mistake, and more simply kicked it directly.

Liu Guzi, who was taller than Shan Long, didn't say a word, and hurriedly stood up, he didn't accept Li Chongjing, but Shi Chang, who was two years younger than him, couldn't disagree.

He was convinced!

Looking at Shan Long, Liu Guzi admired and envied him, thinking that he must become as brave as Shi Chang!

Breakfast was eaten in the cafeteria, Qian Mingsheng and Liu Guzi were very familiar, and they were in the same house, so they naturally ate together.

Qian Mingsheng was very hungry and gulped down sweet meals.

Liu Guzi was absent-minded, "You say, when will we become the same as Shichang?" ”

Qian Mingsheng raised his head blankly, "What?" ”

Liu Guzi glared at him, "Eat yours!" ”

Qian Mingsheng glanced at him puzzled, he really didn't understand Liu Guzi's thoughts. Qian Mingsheng is a native of Danshui County, and this year, the Tiger Guard Camp is going to recruit people again, so he came. He is very satisfied with his current life, although he is tired from training, he can eat enough! As for the rest, he didn't think about it at all.

Iron Smelting Valley, Li Chongjing was watching his uncle striking iron in horror, he didn't know that he had such a ability.

Li Baiguo's craftsmanship is indeed higher than that of other blacksmiths in the Iron Smelting Valley, but Li Chongjing looked at the sweat on his uncle's face worriedly, he heard his uncle say that after arriving at Qingzhuling, his illness can be slowly cured.

Li Baiguo held a steel knife that had just been baked in his hand, and the blacksmiths around him gathered around him and talked around the knife.

Li Baiguo walked out of the crowd, took Li Chongjing's little hand, and went to the corner of the valley where no one was, "Do you want to learn to strike iron?" ”

Lee Chongjing"? After a while, he whispered, "Can I learn?" ”

Li Baiguo nodded, "Of course." We can come here to be blacksmiths. ”

Li Chongjing was choked, "Being a blacksmith?" "Iron, he doesn't know how to strike iron?

"When we came to Qingzhuling, we people actually gave our lives to the Zheng family. However, I don't want you to practice martial arts anymore, and it's not bad to be able to make a living in this mountain. Li Bai's Chinese tone was gloomy.

He touched Li Chongjing's head: "In the future, except for morning exercises and time to study in the academy, you will come to the valley, and I will teach you to strike iron." ”

After breakfast, Li Chongjing was ready to go to the academy. But at this time, Zheng Sheng arrived in the valley. Li Chongjing stayed.

Zheng Sheng came for the newly forged knife, Zheng Sheng touched its cold edge, and subconsciously felt that it was better than the previous knife, "Uncle Li is really good at craftsmanship!" ”

Li Baiguo said calmly: "Shizi, try the knife!" ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, stood in front of the bluestone for the Nth time, and slashed it with a knife.

Zheng Sheng didn't care about his numb wrist and looked at the knife in his hand. But the gap in the blade is like truth, destined to reappear.

Zheng Sheng was extremely disappointed, still can't he?

"It's really not going to work." Li Baiguo spoke, he frowned and said, "Just like Shizi said, this kind of pure iron is too soft, so it is necessary to add toner to it to increase the hardness." However, it is not easy to infiltrate evenly. But if it can be done, this knife will be very good, and its quality and energy are comparable to those of a hundred refining knives. ”

Zheng Sheng was even more disappointed, "It can only be compared to a hundred refining swords? ”

Li Baiguo shook his head, "Shizi, Bailian is the best iron today. There are few craftsmen in the world who can forge a hundred smelted iron. ”

Zheng Sheng was very depressed, "Can you forge the knife well?" ”

Li Baiguo was silent, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." ”

Zheng Sheng was discouraged, Nima, it was in vain to exchange so much pure iron!

Li Baiguo finally held back a sentence: "Shizi, although I can't do it anymore, I am sure to teach the apprentices who can be forged." ”

Zheng Sheng looked at Li Chongjing, the apprentice you are talking about, is it him?

"In 10 years, there will be success." Li Baiguo said in a deep voice, "The study of chemistry of the son of the world has opened his eyes, and he has learned the forging of a certain and understood the knowledge of the son, and he can succeed." ”

Zheng Sheng looked at Li Chongjing, who was looking at him timidly, "Then let's all work together!" ”
