The dog saw the apprentice galloping towards the other corner of the yard, and he spread his hooves and chased after him. Hu Gongcao, who was standing on the side of Taishou, saw this chaotic scene in the workshop compound, and his face turned green with anger.

But Li Yanzhao wrapped his arms around his chest, observing the scene in front of him with great interest.

Xin Taishou frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn't say a word. All eyes were fixed on the apprentice in a gray coarse cloth shirt who was running wildly, and the golden-haired earth dog that barked wildly in the workshop compound.

On the other side of the stove, the blacksmith, who was already in a hurry, dropped the hammer in his hand and the half-finished stirrup, and went up to pull the apprentice named Erdan, who was still stunned by the bellows.

"Go ahead and take your dog back and tie it up! Fu Junshang is still present, your dog is making such a fuss, what is it like? ”

Erdan was urged by this impatient blacksmith before he woke up from a dream. Hurriedly spread his steps and galloped towards his dog, calling the dog's name as he ran: "Rhubarb! Rheum! Go, come home with me! ”

The yellow earth dog seemed to be deaf to the call of the second egg, and still barked wildly, and chased at the apprentice in the gray coarse cloth shirt.

The apprentice in the gray shirt ran to the foot of the wall on the other side, but the yellow dog was still chasing after him. Seeing the foot of the wall, there is no escape, but the direction of the gate is in the direction that the yellow dog is chasing! And the dog owner Erdan, who was chasing from the stove, obviously couldn't control the dog before the yellow dog caught up with him.

The apprentice in the gray shirt looked at the dog chasing closer and closer behind him, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. If he had turned around and ran towards the gate at this time, he would have been overtaken by the yellow dog. In the eyes of others, he was already in a desperate situation, but in a hurry, he made a move that no one expected.

Li Yanzhao hugged his hands in the courtyard, and he really saw the situation over there. I saw that the apprentice in the gray shirt bent down slightly, jumped up, and put his hands on the wall in front of him, and at the same time as he put up the wall, the apprentice's dangling right foot slammed down the wall in front of him, and at the same time, half of his body was already on the wall.

The yellow dog chased after him to the foot of the wall, and saw that half of the apprentice had climbed up the wall. The yellow dog barked unwillingly again. After barking a few times, the yellow dog seemed to have some inspiration from the apprentice's action of climbing the wall, and he also ran a few steps and jumped. Straight to the apprentice's leg and foot that was still on the side of the wall.

The apprentice climbed on the wall, and suddenly heard the barking of the dog behind him a little louder, and he didn't bother to look back, he quickly hung his right leg on the wall, and then the side of his upper body had already turned over to the other side of the wall.

With a muffled sound of "bang". The figure of the apprentice at the head of the wall had disappeared, and only the yellow dog was still beating and barking unwillingly at the foot of the wall.

Erdan panted and chased to the foot of the wall, and then grabbed the hemp rope that was still half of the yellow dog's neck, stretched out his foot and kicked the yellow dog's buttocks, and said angrily: "Bark again!" Call you again! "As soon as he raised his hand, the gesture was about to fall.

When the yellow dog saw that his master was angry, he stopped barking. There was a whining sound in his throat, and a pair of big watery eyes stared timidly at his master, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

Erdan's slap was still reluctant to fall after all, so he grabbed the half of the hemp rope, pulled the yellow dog and walked towards the gate, passing by Taishou, Hu Gongcao and Li Yanzhao, the young man timidly hid a little farther away.

Hu Gongcao and Taishou both knew him, one was in charge of the workshop where his family worked and made a living, and the other was the head of the county government.

And Li Yanzhao, although he didn't know him, he saw that this person was wearing iron armor and was mighty, and he was standing with Hu Gongcao and Taishou. When he came in, Hu Gongcao kept saluting him, and politely, he also knew that this military attache was not a person he could afford to provoke.

Erdan cautiously slipped through the wall and dragged the yellow dog out of the workshop gate. Seeing him walk out of the door of the workshop, Li Yanzhao glanced back at the wall and praised with a smile: "Interesting!" ”

The wall was seven or eight feet high, but the blacksmith apprentice in the gray shirt and the series of clever movements over the wall made Li Yanzhao think of later generations, when he ran obstacles in the army, he once couldn't climb the high slab wall with all his strength.

Taishou and Hu Gongcao heard this headless sentence, but they were both puzzled. They all looked back at the wall where Li Yanzhao's eyes were looking, but there was nothing.

"I don't know, what does Captain Li Bairen think is interesting?" Hu Gongcao was finally full of suspicions, so he asked.

"Ahh Li Yanzhao felt that he was a little out of shape, but he didn't hide it: "Don't hide it from Hu Gongcao, Li feels that Fang just jumped and jumped to the blacksmith apprentice on the other side of the wall, which is interesting." ”

Hu Gongcao nodded when he heard this, and said to Li Yanzhao: "This apprentice, whose name is Lu Yi, is a household in Lingju County. Seeing that the child was 14 years old and still disliked farming, his parents sent him to Lingju's workshop to learn the blacksmith trade. Some time ago, the prince of the government asked the lower officials to make new horse harnesses, and the lower officials sent some craftsmen from the three counties to come here. This Lu Yi came to the county town with his blacksmith master. ”

Li Yanzhao listened to Hu Gongcao's introduction to this Lu Yi, and nodded, and then asked: "I want to transfer this son to my subordinates as a pawn, does Hu Gongcao think it's okay?" ”

Hearing Li Yanzhao's request, Hu Gongcao frowned slightly, and his face was embarrassed: "This ...... Hu has no problem here. However, a hundred people had to ask Lu Yi's kid, as well as his father and mother, and master. If he himself does not want to go to the army, there is nothing he can do. ”

Hu Gongcao is also clear. At this time, the status of the military household is low, and although Lu Yi's child is not rich, there is no problem with food and clothing. How can it be possible to become a naturalized soldier for no reason.

Li Yanzhao knew the reason. And he didn't say anything more. This kind of prejudice is not something that can be changed by one person in a short period of time. He only had a glimmer of hope, that is, Lu Yi himself, who was willing to go to the army with him.

For the first time, there was a man who gave him the idea of being called into the army. There is no other reason, the blacksmith apprentice in the gray shirt climbed over the wall smoothly, which made Li Yanzhao feel too familiar.

In those years, the high board wall obstacles caused many heroes and heroes to sink into the sand. And when Li Yanzhao's old squad leader demonstrated, he was like the young apprentice just now, and he came easily, and the wind was light.

Although, when the young man climbed over the wall, he was a little embarrassed by the yellow dog. However, it still does not affect his light and agile demeanor.

saw that Erdan had already led the yellow dog away. Lu Yi walked around and walked into the door with a look of surprise on his face.

The blacksmith in the courtyard, seeing that there was no one by the stove, personally stepped forward and grabbed the bellows lever and pushed it up. The fire, which had gradually become smaller because no one had operated it, burned again after this push and pull.

Seeing this, Lu Yi was about to walk back to the bellows to perform his duties, when he suddenly heard Hu Gongcao calling his name on the side.

Lu Fangfang was frightened, seeing this, he became nervous again, he lowered his head, slowly moved to Hu Gongcao and the others, his hands were cramped and uneasy for a while, half hanging, one time putting down, and one time rubbing the gray shirt on his body.

Seeing Lu Yi's cramped and uneasy appearance, Hu Gongcao laughed twice, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Lu Yi, don't be so nervous, I just called you here to ask you something." Yan Yan pointed to Li Yanzhao beside him, and said, "Captain Li Bairen is now a young man who controls the cavalry of our county. He has just seen your skills and intends to recruit you to his command, what do you think? ”

When Lu Yi heard this, his head hung lower. His eyes were fixed on his toes, and he rubbed uneasily for a long time, and then his voice was like a mosquito: "Li Bairenchang, I'm ...... I don't want to go. ”

Hearing this, the expectant look on Li Yanzhao's face instantly became full of loss.
