At this time, Xiao Yi was riding a thousand-mile horse, and he had to rush back before dark, after all, he was not at ease when Xuan'er was alone in Suzhou City.

Xiao Yi's trip was actually to visit his master, who taught him to be a carpenter when he was a child. Being a carpenter is not just about planing wood, they are also about carving. What kind of people they are, what they can carve and what they can't carve, are all very important. There are also carving things that pay attention to a subtlety, and what should be carved between the wooden board and the wooden board are all stipulated by them.

Once Xiao Yi helped a prince's mansion carve the beams of the house, it was supposed to be carved with a python, five dragons and four pythons. As a result, Xiao Yiduo carved a claw, but fortunately it was discovered by the carpenter master, otherwise it might be that the prince's family and the carpenter could bring about the disaster of killing their heads. Master carpenter, in a fit of anger, discarded all the fine wood, burned it as firewood, and punished Xiao Yi for not being able to eat for a day. After that, Xiaoyi carving is even more careful, otherwise next time it will not be as simple as not being able to eat for a day.

It has been ten years since Xiao Yi left Suzhou, and I don't know how his master is doing. Although his master did not give birth to him, he also raised him for ten years, and gave him good skills, at least it is okay to go out and eat. Xiao Yi also thought that if he no longer relied on his uncle in the future, it would be desirable to live a fairy-like life with Linglong.

When he left his master, he was already over thirty years old. Because of his lame feet, he never got his wife, and he was alone. Fortunately, he has a good craft, so he doesn't have to rely on others to live. In addition to helping others to do carpenter business, he usually teaches a few of his apprentices, and his life is also happy.

The raven feeds back, and the lamb kneels to suckle. When he returned to Suzhou again, he should also visit him and repay his kindness. Why did Xiao Yi ride a thousand-mile horse? At the beginning, the peasant woman's daughter-in-law was afraid that Xiao Yi would come back to them, so she hired someone to send him far away. For some reason, Xiao Yi had to go out early, otherwise it would be difficult to come back that day.

Xiao Yi's horse galloped on the road, the wind and sand were raised, and everywhere he went, except for the horse's hoof footprints, there was no trace.

Finally, when noon came, Xiao Yi entered a small town, so that according to the distance and time, Xiao Yi should be able to rush back before the inn proofing.

Xiao Yi didn't rush to find his master when he arrived in the town, he had to settle his horses well, otherwise the horses would not eat grass, how could he let the horses run? Xiao Yi first went to the horse farm, handed the horse to the groom, and then went to an iron shop.

"Anyone?" Xiao Yi knocked on the door. After all, it is a place where iron is struck, and if Xiao Yi doesn't make some noise, no one can feel that someone is coming in.

"Come on!" I saw a big man with a strong body, muscular body, and a bronzed complexion walking over. Although it is now the cold winter season, the temperature of the iron shop is not ordinarily high, and the big men inside are shirtless, but they are still sweating all over their bodies.

The big man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel around his neck, and said, "Guest officer, do you need to build any utensils?"

This blacksmith is the most famous in the town, and most of the utensils are relatively common, except for a few utensils made of fine iron, which are a bit expensive. Not only is it fast to work and not fake, but it is also durable for special use. If it is repaired in the future, only part of the labor cost will be paid. Of course, such a good thing is spread by one to ten, and ten to hundred. Some people even come to the blacksmith of the house to make things. Like someone.

"Yes!" Xiao Yi nodded.

"Then what kind of equipment do you need to build?"

"I need a full set of carving knives, and the ones inside: round knives, flat knives, oblique knives, Yuwan knives, medium steel knives, triangular knives, all of them are indispensable. Crafted from the finest iron. ”

"Guest officer, are you sure??This fine iron is extremely expensive, and you still want to make a full set of equipment, I'm afraid it's expensive!"

"The price is not an issue, just tell me how long it will take you to finish. ”

"If you are in a hurry, if you want a big customer like you, if our brothers will help you build it all, it will take three hours at the earliest. ”

"Okay, I'll come and pick it up in three hours, it's a deposit. Xiao Yi took out a silver ingot from his money bag and handed it to the blacksmith.

"Guest officer, we have always been honest business here, and the big guys are assured of what we do, so you don't need to pay a deposit in advance. The blacksmith said with some prevarication.

"It's okay, I want you to feel at ease, otherwise if you do a good job, I won't take it, won't you just suffer a dumb loss?" Xiao Yi really wanted to reassure the blacksmith, but more importantly, he hoped to pay attention to it, do it quickly, and don't delay his trip.

"Okay, since we are all big men, we won't push around, don't worry, we will definitely make it as soon as possible." The blacksmith took the silver ingot and swore an oath.

After Xiao Yi said goodbye to the blacksmith, he went to the winery, bought two pots of good 'Woman Red', and then went to his master's house.

Coming to this familiar place again, Xiao Yi felt a lot of emotion in his heart. When I walked to the door, the two big words 'Lin Jiang' on the door were exactly the same as when I left, and they had not changed. It's just that with the wind and sun, it's a little shabby than it was at the beginning.

Xiao Yi slowly walked in the door and saw a middle-aged woman drying clothes, and felt a little strange in his heart, how could there be a woman in this place? Could it be that the master invited her to help? In addition to the woman drying clothes, there was also a two-year-old child running in the yard. What's going on here? Such a young child is also an apprentice? But what can he do at such a young age? When he first arrived, he was six years old, which is young enough. This child, Xiao Yi really can't figure it out.

Xiao Yi walked in and saw the woman nodding, "Do you know where my master is?"

The woman did not speak, but kept gesturing with her hands. Xiao Yi couldn't understand a little, could it be that she was dumb? The woman saw that Xiao Yi didn't understand what she meant, so she gestured with her body, and her expression was a little anxious.

I saw a young voice say: "Daddy, he's going out, big brother, wait a minute, Daddy will be back soon." ”

Daddy? Could this be Master's child? Then this woman is Master's mother? Xiao Yi was a little surprised.

"Master, I'm sorry, it's Xiao Yi who forgot to call you. ”

The woman shook her head and pointed to her chest to show forgiveness that she didn't blame him.

"Did you just mean that Master went out and asked me to wait for him?"

The woman nodded again, finally smiling.

"Okay, then I'll wait for him here! Xiao Yi handed the wine in his hand to the woman.

The women folded their hands and bowed in thanksgiving. Xiao Yi smiled at the child, nodded, and went into the house.

Xiao Yi lowered his head and looked at the little boy, touched his head with his hand, and said, "What's your name, can you tell my brother?"
