Chapter 7: Horseshoes
After a bunch of people roasted a lot of fish by the bonfire and eaten, it was time for the sunset, and the fish in the stream were also unlucky today.
The fiery sunset hung on the top of the branches of the woods, like a fireball hanging in the sky, causing Cheng Wu's endless reverie. Tired of eating, the birds return to their nests and chirp and laugh among the trees. This year is their most "harvested" year, countless royal insects let them eat, this year is their most worry-free food year, they are full of food and cry in the woods, the woods also become lively as time goes by.
Compared to the birds, human beings are much more unlucky, because last winter was not cold enough, the eggs of the emperor insect in the field were not frozen to death, since the beginning of the spring of the emperor insect in the entire Central Plains raging wildly, the black pressure of the emperor insect is overwhelming, in this era without chemicals, nothing can stop their footsteps, caused by the emperor insect, all green plants are not spared, are gnawed clean, the crops in the field are their favorite, desperate farmers watched the crops in their fields disappear little by little, as painful as taking a knife and cutting off their flesh little by little on their bodies.
Looking at the sky, it was not early, more than forty people had been staying here for a long time, and it was time to go back, Cheng Zhiji enthusiastically put his arm around Cheng Wuren's shoulders and said, "Brother Cheng Wu, since you are returning from overseas for the first time, you must not have a place to live, right?" If you can afford to see me, Cheng Chuhei, you will go back to our Cheng Mansion with me to live for a while? ”
"Yes, if you can, it's okay to live in my house" Several people also echoed, Cheng Wu was really embarrassed, looking at such a sincere invitation, Cheng Wu pondered.
I have just come here, I don't have a new understanding of everything here, and it is not a wise thing to venture into the life of this upper class, Zhenguan once did, no civil servant is a simple person, and he boldly approaches their lives, maybe when he asks for their interests, in this time and space where there are no relatives, he doesn't even know how he died, and people sell themselves and help them count the money.
The wisest thing to do now is to find a place where you can calm down and plan your way forward. Cheng Wu saw Uncle Yang, so he had a plan.
In the forcible persuasion of Cheng Chusi and others and the constant apologies of Cheng Wu, Cheng Wu took two bear paws and followed Yang Bo to prepare to walk in the direction of Xiaoyang Village.
At this time, a soldier walked over to Wei Chi Baolin with a heavy face and said, "Childe is not good, Childe's war horse has injured the horse's hooves, and it seems that the injury is not light." "This soldier is Yu Chi Baolin's retainer, as the general of Wei Chi Gong who is the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, he is qualified to have a family guard of about 200 people, and this is the personal guard that Yu Chi Gong assigned to Yu Chi Baolin.
"How can this be, what a good war horse, and it hurts the horse's hooves again, so it can't recover without a year and a half." Yu Chi Baolin heard the report of her personal guard, and said in a deep voice regretfully.
Cheng Wu, who was standing not far away, heard what was said, shouted and walked over and asked, "How can you let the horse hurt the horse's hooves?" Didn't you put horseshoes on your horses? Cheng Wu also had a deep impression of the few people he had just met, and seeing Yu Chi Baolin's sad appearance, Cheng Wu asked.
Although Cheng Wu had never ridden a horse, he had seen all Cheng Wu in the blacksmith competition in the United States who made horseshoes by hand and installed them, and knew that this war horse was to be equipped with horseshoes, otherwise it would be easy to hurt the horse's hooves.
"What is a horseshoe, Brother Cheng Wu, have you ever seen that thing? Tell me what it is. After hearing Cheng Wu's words, Yu Chi Baolin was like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw on the shore.
"Well, to put it simply, it's to put shoes on horses, we all know that we will wear shoes for fear of hurting our feet, since we can also put shoes on horses." Cheng Wu despised the authentic.
Shoe a horse? Is it okay, if that's the case, wouldn't it be ...... from now on, the more Yu Chi Baolin thought about it, the more excited she became.
"Cheng Gongzi" Yu Chi Baolin has now changed his honorific title, calling Cheng Wu Gongzi, who is commensurate with brothers and brothers in the front, and now he is excited......
"Well, I've heard someone say this when I'm overseas before, but I haven't tried it before, I don't know how to do it first, but I do know how to do it, let's find a blacksmith shop and try it." Cheng Wu has watched this kind of blacksmith competition TV show before, and the competition in it is just assigned to the contestants how to make horseshoes, and Cheng Wu remembers the specific process, but he hasn't tried it himself, but it doesn't matter.
Under Cheng Wu's inquiry, he knew that there happened to be an iron-striking shop in Xiaoyang Village, not far from here, which specialized in making farm tools for others. That's enough, as long as there's metal, everything is easy to do.
