"Bang...... Bang ......"

Hammer after hammer, in the rhythm of the rhythm, time passed slowly.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun leaves an orange-red afterglow in the sky, rendering the antique Beiyang City more majestic and majestic.

At this time, Nian Zhen in the back room had already shouted for dinner, and she had already prepared the meal. She lifted the gray curtain, leaned out of it, and whispered, "Brother Xu, it's time to eat." It's not too early, so let's do it tomorrow, right? ”

"You eat first, I'll eat after I'm done with the work at hand, just leave me some food." Chen Xu said without looking back.

He had a hunch that his guess was true. If there is really a war, the commander from above will explain it in the past few days.

For this war, Chen Xu is both looking forward to it and uneasy. Once the war starts, it will be a national battle, a large-scale battle, and it will evolve into a life-and-death struggle of flesh and blood of a meat grinder, this is his opportunity! At the same time, he is confident in his own strength, but he will not be naïve and arrogant to think that he will not die or die, on tens of thousands of battlefields, who can guarantee that he can have the last laugh, throughout the ages, even if a high-ranking general was shot by a stray arrow, defeated and killed, and other things, there are not a few.

is not only beating the iron, but also venting the uneasiness in his heart and tempering his heart.

As night fell, Chen Xu began to pack up the ironware placed outside, ready to close the door. The blacksmith shop is of the open type, very spacious, and does not have a correspondingly large door. Chen Xu took the wooden planks placed on the wall and stuck them in the cracks between the upper and lower parts of the door. Wooden planks are spliced, and the doors are closed. The kind of door of the blacksmith shop is similar to the kind of small shop used in the village where the economy was relatively backward in the previous life.

He stepped into the backyard and found Nian Zhen sweeping the floor with a broom in the yard, and no one had touched the food in the house. As soon as the brain moves, you understand. In ancient times, there was a difference between dignity and inferiority, although Chen Xu was only a small owner of a blacksmith shop, but as an employer, he did not move to eat, and others did not dare to touch chopsticks.

The staple food is soup cakes made of white flour. His adaptability is relatively good, and after coming to this world for more than half a year, he gradually adapted to this kind of life, as long as he can eat enough, and sometimes he will buy meat to satisfy his hunger. In the troubled world of starvation, it is already enviable to have a full bite to eat. Chen Xu's thoughts are very content.

After eating, Nian Zhen packed everything up and said goodbye.

At this time, Chen Xu looked at the dark sky and the high and narrow alley outside the courtyard, and said, "I'll send it to you." He doesn't have other ideas, isn't it normal for boys to send girls in modern times?

She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'll just go back by myself."

Chen Xu insisted: "It's dark now, and it may be dangerous to go back alone."

Nian Zhen carried the basket, Chen Xu followed, and went out of the back door with her and walked into the small alley. In front of the alley are small shops, while in the back are the residences of merchants and craftsmen.

Walking in front of the low Nianzhen, buried his head, timid, from time to time he would look back and forth, for fear of meeting acquaintances. Chen Xu hired her because he sympathized with her at the beginning. The man of Nianzhen's family is disabled, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and the burden of life is on the shoulders of this weak woman. But a woman cooking and working in a bachelor's house was indispensable in this conservative antiquity. Chen Xu is not afraid of these (he is lacking negative emotional value), but it seems to be a very uncomfortable thing for a woman, being talked about behind her back and poking her backbone, it is not easy to change anyone, she is often seen alone with her head down, walking fast, and not daring to talk to people.

I sometimes wonder if I did something wrong, and then I think about it, if I quit my thoughts, it will be more of a loss to some people, and losing this job will make this woman's situation even more difficult.

Chen Xu, who was walking behind, quietly admired her back, she felt that the woman's lines were actually very good, although she was wearing an older cloth skirt, she couldn't cover her figure, and the gray collar showed off the fairness of the skin on her neck, forming a sharp contrast.

seemed to feel Chen Xu's strange eyes, and Nian Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xu shook his head, and before he knew it, Nianzhen's house was not far away, and he pointed to the room in front of him: "Your house has arrived, come in."

Nian Zhen seemed to want to say a few polite words, and when he heard Chen Xu's words, he responded with a "hmm". walked home, she was entering the house, looked back, and found that Chen Xu was still there watching her.

She waved her hand goodbye.

Chen Xu nodded slightly, and when he saw Nian Zhen enter the house, he turned around and left.

In this world, it is not easy, especially for vulnerable women and children, and it is even more difficult in troubled times. Chen Xu will not be bad for good people to be good to others, but when he can, it is also a joy to be able to help a few people.

……

The sky was hazy and just started to brighten, Chen Xu on the bed was sleeping in a daze, and on the blackened wooden windows, some broken window paper was blown by the wind.

In a trance, Chen Xu seemed to have returned to his previous life, he did not have cancer, and his parents did not pass away. Relying on the system he obtained, coupled with his own efforts, he finally got ahead and let his family live a rich life. Hey. He was dreaming in a daze, and he couldn't help laughing. Everything was beautiful. But suddenly, the picture is on one side. Chen Xu was on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, splashing blood, the sonorous sound of handing over soldiers, and the unwilling roar of soldiers before they died......

Sou!

Facing a sharp arrow flying forward, Chen Xu slashed it down with a knife, but saw countless black pressure in front of him and a samurai in iron armor rushing towards him, and looked around again, and found that countless people in all directions, with hideous faces, slashed at him with swords......

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, Brother Xu......" I only heard the voice of a woman next to me faintly.

At this time, Chen Xu was shaken up, he sat up suddenly, his eyes slowly opened, his eyes were a little confused, he took a few breaths, and gradually came to his senses, but found that he had already broken out in a cold sweat.

"Are you having nightmares?" The woman's voice came.

"I'm having a nightmare." Before he could calm down, he only repeated it mechanically, and then reacted and realized that there was a woman next to him, "Nianzhen, it's you." ”

Nian Zhen turned around and handed over a wet towel, Chen Xu remembered that he was on duty today and had to go to the gathering early. I took the towel, wiped my face, and began to wash.

Because of a cold sweat, Chen Xu found a clean underwear, took a bucket of well water in the yard, and began to bathe. It was the time when the spring was cold, and the physique of a person like him who was several times that of ordinary people was simply trivial.
