In the early hours of the morning, the sky was just bright, the rooster crowed, Jiang Liuer had woken up from his sleep, and there was no trace of warmth left in the bed, it was already a common thing for him to get up early, when he was still a blacksmith apprentice, he woke up so early in the early hours of the morning, followed by a busy day.

Jiang Liu'er lifted the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and stretched straight.

"Ah......h

I opened the door of the house that was already in tatters, walked into the yard, took a deep breath of fresh air in the early morning, and then exercised in the yard.

While pacing back and forth, a figure hurriedly walked through the alley outside the courtyard, and walked to the opposite courtyard gate, where Ouyang Shao was carrying a bucket of water.

There is an ancient well at the end of the west side of the lane, half of the people in the town want to get water from this well to eat, and the people who just fetch water every day can discharge a long dragon.

The iron mine has been closed for a long time, in order to find a living livelihood, Jiang Liuer is also very hard, every day for breakfast to deal with it casually, then go out to look for a job, Mu Se can only see his gray face and tired back after Mu Se.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to local customs, it was originally possible to rest for a day, Jiang Liuer looked at the rice cylinder at home, and then touched the copper plate on his body, the rice cylinder was already crystal clear, and there were only ten copper plates on his body.

I want to follow Master Tian to learn the art of iron casting, although every day is very busy, very tired, but do not have to worry about eating and drinking, the life is also fulfilling, from time to time can also come to a hike, the master and apprentice three people hiked to the mountain, sit under the tree, eat the food they carry, drink the mountain spring, I don't know how leisurely, now these activities have become an unattainable dream for him.

The sky was getting brighter, and it didn't seem to be very good, and from time to time a snowflake was falling, and the snowflakes were mixed with hail, and it hurt to hit the face.

Jiang Liu'er picked up the only umbrella in the family, and walked out with the white jade bracelet left by her mother.

He has asked many times about the camp life in the town, because he is poor, he has no money to take care of it, even if he can't pay for a banquet, no one is willing to introduce him to work.

There is no way, today he went out and bypassed Jiang Tian Town and went straight to the county seat, going to the county seat to try his luck, maybe he could run from time to time?

......

On the road, the rain and snow were unusually violent, the road became muddy, and it became more difficult to walk, and the rain and snow wet the shoes and especially froze the feet, all the difficulties and obstacles were in front of him, Jiang Liuer still did not flinch, and the things he had decided would go to the end.

......

After five hours of arduous trekking, Jiang Liu'er finally came to the gate of the county seat, although she had followed Master Tian to many places, but this was the first time she had entered the city.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for lunch, Jiang Liu'er, who had not eaten for several meals in a row, held on, and he walked towards the city step by step with difficulty.

At this time, the rain and snow gradually stopped, Jiang Liuer put away her umbrella and walked on the street of the county seat, the spacious road is lined with scattered house layouts, and from time to time some families begin to set off fireworks before meals.

Jiang Liu'er was walking forward with his head down, and an old man with silver hair in front of him, holding a wooden bar in his right hand, knocked left and right, and tried on the road to make sure that the front was safe and sound, and only then did he dare to move forward slowly, obviously this person was blind.

The blind man walked very slowly, Jiang Liuer quickly caught up with him, just when Jiang Liuer accelerated and prepared to overtake the blind man, the blind man accidentally slipped his legs and feet, and his body involuntarily began to tilt, Jiang Liuer instinctively helped him next to him, and the blind man fell into Jiang Liuer's arms, no big problem, if there was no Jiang Liuer to help him at the critical moment, the consequences were really unimaginable, because the old man's bones themselves were very loose, and his legs and feet were the most likely to break.

In a panic, the wooden stick in the blind man's hand disappeared, but he pulled down Jiang Liuer's umbrella in a panic, and after straightening it, when Jiang Liuer wanted to get back the umbrella he carried, the blind man was not happy, he yelled: "The umbrella is mine!"

The sound was loud, and some people slowly gathered around to watch the excitement.

The two argued, saying that it was their own umbrella.

Someone around said: "You two have their own opinions, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, whoever can come up with evidence, this umbrella is his." ”

Seeing that more and more people were gathered around, Jiang Liu'er said with a straight face: "This umbrella is mine, and after it is opened, there are a few words written on it." ”

A man walked out, he took the umbrella from the blind man's hand, opened it, and secretly opened it to glance at it, and sure enough, there were several big black letters.

The man glanced at the boy and continued, "What exactly is written on it?"

Jiang Liu'er didn't hesitate at all: "I'm a little blacksmith." ”

The man's eyes widened and he said, "That's right! This umbrella belongs to a teenager." ”

Immediately after that, he showed the words inside the umbrella in front of the onlookers, and everyone muttered after seeing it, "It is indeed a young man's umbrella." ”

Hearing the one-sided attitude of the crowd, the blind man began to be unhappy, and he said angrily: "Can this be considered proof? He is not blind, he must have seen it through voyeurism, and I have proof that the umbrella is mine." ”

Just now the man said, "Old man, what evidence do you have? ”

The blind man looked in a certain direction, then looked up and said, "My umbrella is made of sixteen bamboo strips, I don't believe you can count them." ”

The man listened and counted them.

"That's right! Sixteen. ”

Several other people gathered together and counted them.

"That's right, sixteen indeed. ”

At this time, everyone seemed to look at Jiang Liu'er at the same time.

"Young people must be honest and trustworthy, and they must not lie!"

The blind man accurately stated that the umbrella was made of sixteen bamboo strips, and at this point, everyone was overwhelmingly convinced that the blind man was not lying.

But Jiang Liu'er became the target of public criticism, and the people around him accused him one after another.

"Liar, it's a big New Year, hurry up, if it were on weekdays, I would have beaten you a long time ago. ”

Jiang Liuer couldn't bear everyone's accusations, sighed and walked out of the crowd, she was in a good mood today, she was looking for a job, but she was so blind that Jiang Liuer couldn't explain it in an instant.

When she came to the door of a pawnshop, Jiang Liuer held the white jade bracelet tightly in her right hand and hesitated.

The shopkeeper glanced at the young man who had not moved at the door and said, "Young man, is there anything to pawn?"

The shopkeeper's voice was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, guiding Jiang Liu'er in the direction, and he made up his mind to walk in.

"The shopkeeper takes a look at this, the ancestral jade. ”

took the white jade bracelet, glanced at it a few times, and the shopkeeper said, "Orange is very average and worthless." ”

"Shopkeeper, will you take a closer look?"

"It's worthless, take it!"

The shopkeeper threw it away, Jiang Liu'er didn't catch it in a panic, and the white jade bracelet fell directly from his hand to the hard ground, but fortunately it was not broken.

"Shopkeeper, why are you like this? ”

The shopkeeper was not shocked: "You got rid of it yourself, why do you blame me?"

"Obviously you threw it out!"

"I lost it in your hand, you didn't hold it steadily, you fell, find yourself to go, get out! ”

Jiang Liu'er picked up the white jade bracelet helplessly, he was in a very bad mood, he looked at the shopkeeper with horizontal eyebrows, murderous.

"Get out!"

This hatred Jiang Liu'er secretly remembered in her heart and brushed her sleeves away.

"Gollum ......"

Jiang Liu'er's stomach once again issued a stern warning, if she endured it like this, it wouldn't be long before she would faint from hunger, and she had to fill her stomach if she wanted revenge.

......

After looking for a while, I came to a dumpling restaurant.

"Little two come with ten dumplings. ”

"Okay, please sit down, a bowl of dumplings. ”

Xiao Er shouted and ran to the kitchen, Jiang Liuer only had ten copper plates on him, and the price of dumplings was a penny, he only dared to ask for ten dumplings, and he didn't dare to eat more, because his strength did not allow it.

Jiang Liu'er sat on the bench in front of the square table, shivering coldly, stomping her feet, anxiously waiting for the dumplings to be served early, there were few shops doing business on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and finally found a restaurant that was open normally, but there was only one customer in the store.

"The guest officer has been waiting for a long time, your dumplings, please use them slowly. ”

Since there were no diners in the restaurant, a hot bowl of dumplings was served on the table in a matter of moments.

Jiang Liu'er stared intently at the steaming dumplings, he didn't put off the chopsticks immediately, but closed his eyes, and there were words in his mouth, no one knew what he had made.

The hot dumplings are one bite at a time, and soon there is no soup left, the bowl is like new, shiny and shiny, a bowl of dumplings is down, Jiang Liuer burped, and her body warmed up a little.

"Xiao Er checks out. ”

"Guest officer, twelve cents. ”

Jiang Liu'er was stunned for a moment, looked directly at Xiao Er and said, "Isn't it ten cents?"

"Guest officer, a bowl of dumplings and twelve wen. ”

"Isn't it a penny? Ten dumplings. ”

"We sell them bowl by bowl, twelve bowls at a time. ”

Jiang Liuer took out all the money and put it on the table and counted, counted, and counted.

"Ten cents. ”

"You don't have any money to eat. ”

Xiao Er shouted, and people quickly gathered around to watch the excitement.

"This is a teenager who eats overlord meals, everyone will judge. ”

"Big brother, it's just two pennies, you can do it, let me go!"

"It's okay to leave you alone, crawl out like a dog. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience grinned, Jiang Liu'er looked at their disgusting faces, kept begging for mercy, Xiao Er was hard-hearted, and finally let him climb out like a dog.

After half a day, Jiang Liuer completely felt the cruelty of the world and the ruthlessness of people's hearts.

......

Looking for a job, completely left behind, looking at the huge county town of Yinxian, Jiang Liuer just wanted to escape from here quickly, and didn't want to stay for a moment.

Forget it, you can go home before dark, Jiang Liu'er walked on the road back, by the river, an old man was slowly groping the road.

"Blind?"

After Jiang Liu'er approached, he was completely confirmed that he was blind, and he used the umbrella as a crutch, at this time, there were many people around, and the blind man was alone, which was the best time to take revenge.

A terrible thought flashed through the boy's mind.

"Kill him!"

"No, you can't!"

......

Jiang Liu'er struggled in his heart for a while, and finally he decided to teach the blind man a lesson, there was no one around, Jiang Liu'er angrily walked to the blind man and knocked him into the mud by the river, the blind man fell into the mud, shivering, and his whole body was dirty, if it was summer, it would definitely stink.

Jiang Liu'er pretended to run away, the footsteps were loud, and then he quickly turned back to the blind man.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

The blind man grabbed the person and said indiscriminately, "Why did you hit me?"

"Uncle, you are mistaken, I am here to help you, but I saw who hit you. ”

"Tell me!"

"It's Chen Sanpao, the shopkeeper of Chen Ji's pawnshop, I saw him run away in a hurry after he bumped into you, and then I came over to help you. ”

"And who are you?"

"I'm the shopkeeper of the nearby dumpling restaurant. ”

"Chen Sanpao, who said the dog, Lao Tzu has no grievances with you...... You're trying to hurt me. ”

After the blind man snorted and stood firmly, he groped directly to Chen's pawnshop, muttering from time to time: "Chen Sanpao, Lao Tzu is not so easy to bully, you wait and see how I clean you up." ”

The blind man came uninvited, and when he arrived in the living room where Chen Sanpao placed antiques, he smashed them all and destroyed all the antique vases, and Chen Sanpao was also frightened, hiding under the table and begging for mercy.

"Chen Sanpao, why did you push me down the river?"

"Uncle, I've always been in the pawnshop, I've never been out of the house, when did I push you down the river?"

"Who else could you have?"

"Did you hear who said I pushed it?"

"Wang Busan of the dumpling restaurant. ”

After Chen Sanpao heard this, he was furious, and directly took several thugs to accompany the blind man to Wang Busan to reason.

......

"Wang Busan, you are a non-trivial thing. ”

Before Wang Busan could react, the thug punched Wang Busan who turned his head and stood up, and fell heavily on the dining table, the dining table fell apart, and fell the blue and white stone slab.

Wang Busan, who was beaten away, covered one eye miserably and said, "Why did you hit me?"

"Why hit you, think about the good things you did. ”

"What did I do?"

"Why do you say that I pushed Uncle down the river?"

"When did I say you pushed him down the river. ”

Several people looked at each other, and they didn't know what was wrong.

Jiang Liu'er peeked at a few people on the side, and finally let out a bad breath, looking at this strange town, which had already broken his heart, there was nothing to be nostalgic for, so he didn't look at it much, and walked towards the way back.

......

I met a group of people on the road, they walked on the same avenue as Jiang Liu'er, the destination of these strange faces seems to be Jiang Tian Town, it stands to reason that Jiang Tian Town's armory and iron ore mining have been closed, and now that this cash cow has fallen, there will be no new faces, but they appear when they shouldn't be, and there must be demons when things go wrong.

When he was still working for the imperial court, Master Tian once said that the armory is a major military and political event of the country, and if others dare to touch it, they will lose their heads.

Jiang Liu'er knew that a lot of incredible things had happened in the current Jiangtian Town recently, the removal of the status of the armory, the mountains of weapons disappearance, and these unfamiliar faces that had just appeared, it was hard not to wonder what kind of connection there was between these things.

The origin and good and evil of the other party are unknown, Jiang Liuer can only follow behind them, keeping a certain distance, even if the other party is a robber, there is no need to be afraid, Jiang Liuer has nothing of value on his body except for a tattered clothes, if any robber meets him, it can only be said that the luck of this robber is not much better.

On the first day of the new year, he encountered a lot of sad things in a row, Jiang Liu'er thought that Ouyang Shao had said that this kid would instill in him that people's luck is destiny, and people with bad luck by nature, even if they have good luck and automatically enter the house, Jiang Liu'er can't help but stay.
