"Daddy, why are we here, there are no melons and fruits that Apricot likes to eat, and there are no beautiful flowers and trees, it's so cold here, those people are so fierce, Apricot wants to go home!"

In the tinkling blacksmith stall, standing next to the short man who was beating iron on a stool, a little girl about seven or eight years old comparable to his height, leaned against the red stove and said timidly.

When the short man heard this, his face showed a little helplessness, but when he looked at the little girl, he still tried to squeeze out a smile, "Nan, let's move to Yinshan is the meaning of the saint, and we can only go home after three years!" ”

"Daddy, then let's beg Grandpa Sheng, his old man is so kind, he will definitely let Daddy take Apricot home!" The little girl looked up with some anticipation and a little naivety. When she noticed the beads of sweat on her father's face, she took out a square handkerchief to wipe it very obediently.

The short man did not stop his daughter's movements, and the smile on his face was even more than before, and he said softly: "Look at those uncles who continue to the west, they are going to build the Great Wall, fortunately Daddy has the ability to strike iron with his hands, otherwise, how can he survive here with his nannan?" The Holy Grandfather is the Ninety-Five, and we all have to listen to what he says! ”

"That'······ What if Daddy doesn't listen to Grandpa and takes Apricot home? ”

The short man's smile froze slightly, "Good, Nannan, you see, the wood in our stove is almost burned out, how about going to the south to help Daddy get a few pieces?" When I came back, my father bought cheese for the girl to eat! ”

"Yes, yes, Apricot likes to eat cheese dipped in honey!"

Looking at the small figure jumping away, the short man breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the hammer and muttered to himself: "Go home, who doesn't want to go home, but the war in the Northern Regions is not over, if the Turks go south again, even if we stay at home, how can we avoid the iron cavalry's charge!" I only hope that these sharpened blades can cut a few more brutes in the hands of the warriors! ”

The short man sighed again, and was about to put the half-finished product on the anvil into the furnace fire to quench, but found a bald giant man watching him in the distance.

The man's height was almost twice his own, and the man's thick arms surpassed his waistline as an old blacksmith!

It's mighty!

"Guest, what do you need? The Northern Regions are dangerous, as the so-called workers want to do a good job, they must first sharpen their weapons, but there are not only horizontal knives and spears here, but also hard bows and crossbow arrows, bring some self-defense, hunt barbarians on the prairie, will make you get twice the result with half the effort! ”

"Sui people?" Yang Shuang pushed away the middle-aged captive who was only submissive, but couldn't even speak the Central Plains clearly, and Shi Shiran walked into the blacksmith stall.

This stall is not very big, but there are a lot of iron tools on the display, from small horse harnesses to large knives and guns.

It's just that around the stall, there are still more than a dozen leather armor people.

Originally, when they saw Yang Shuang, they wanted to come around, but the captured middle-aged man waved his hand back.

The short man in the blacksmith stall, I don't know if he was intimidated by someone's momentum, or because of other reasons, walked out quickly around the stove with a little panic, "Xiao Ke is the Sui people, I don't know····· The general is here, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!! ”

Looking at the horror in the pupils of the short man, Yang Shuang glanced at his unsightly, self-proclaimed centurion brother Shulian Mountain, and secretly thought to himself, the identity of this thing does not seem to be as simple as it seems.

"Look at your ability, you can also eat in the Central Plains, why did you come here to be guilty?"

"Back to the general, at the end of last year, the main force of the dynasty conquered the Yinshan defense line, but due to the cold weather and heavy snowfall, the follow-up baggage was insufficient, and the main force retreated to the Hetao area and relied on the Great Wall to hold on. When the Tuoba Department of Tuli belonged to my Great Sui, was placed in the left set and the right set, the saint felt that they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, recruited 100,000 craftsmen, came here to build a city and build a wall, and reorganized the soldiers and horses for them. ”

"Oh? So, you're a military householder? Yang Shuang raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the popular government soldier system in this era.

"Indeed!"

"Daddy, daddy, I hugged a lot of dried vegetables, and Uncle Hu, who chopped wood, praised me for my strength! Apricot wants cheese, cheese dipped in honey! ”

During the conversation, a crisp female baby voice suddenly came from in the distance.

Yang Shuang looked up and saw a pile of dry firewood slowly moving towards the blacksmith stall, where the dry firewood stack connected to the ground, a pair of small feet with sheepskin boots, which made everyone stunned.

When the short man heard the call, even if he was a little frightened, he turned around and took down the dry stack of wood, and by the way helped the little girl who showed her figure to clean up the wood residue on her body.

"Good girl, Daddy has a guest coming, go to Uncle Hu's place to play for a while."

"Daddy, Apricot wants cheese!"

"Well, wait for Daddy to buy it for you, go quickly!"

"I don't, I'm going to eat cheese, cheese dipped in honey!"

"Go!" The short man seemed to be afraid of something, and when he saw that the little girl was disobedient, his tone suddenly became a little stern.

"Wow····· I don't want cheese, I'm going home, I'm going home·····"

"Anu, go, get some cheese and honey!" Yang Shuang didn't know what the short man wanted to do, but when he noticed that the other party was looking at him, he immediately reflected.

No matter where you go, there is always a change.

Especially in these March months, I don't know the "meat taste" of the side!

The person who can be accompanied by the centurion of Dingxiang City must be noble, and go straight to his blacksmith stall without asking the geometric price of the iron, this is not a good thing!

"No, no, no! The guest officer doesn't need to be so polite, this girl is pampered and lacks discipline, which makes the guest officer laugh! The short man smiled and prepared to hand over the crying little girl to a white-haired old man who had come with an axe and heard the sound.

Yang Shuang trembled his eyebrows, it has been four or five years since he came to this world, and it is the first time that he has been a bad person by others, this feels ······ Tsk, it seems a little cool!

"Since you are a military household and have moved far away, there must be a few brave people in the family, but I don't know if you came to the side to strike iron, why don't you see the mother of this baby?"

"Back to the general, this girl's mother was unfortunately killed on the spot when she was in the Northern Qi Dynasty. And Xiao Ke's Liu family did have a few brave people, this baby's uncle is a soldier, and her third uncle was a partial general in Zuo Wuwei, but last year, in the Yinshan War, they all died in Jilusai. ”

"Oh? Chicken deer stopper? But the chicken deer plug that Zhaojun came out of? ”

"Yes!" When the short man said this, his tone was a little sad, "Xiao Ke's fourth and fifth brothers were also seriously injured in that battle, both of them broke their legs and feet, and they couldn't work at home anymore. But as a military household, according to the law, someone in the family must come out to defend the border, so Xiao Ke had to take the girl to the border. ”

"Hoo ·····" Yang Shuang exhaled heavily, "Zuo Wuwei's? ”

"Yes General!"

"Come on, little girl, cheese and honey are all here!"

At this time, Anu rushed to the scene with a ball of parchment in his hand.

"Wow, I'm going to eat cheese, I'm going to eat cheese dipped in honey!" The little girl, who was still crying in the arms of the white-haired old man, immediately burst into tears and laughed.
