Chapter 204: Furnace Fire
Call!
Call......
The sound of a violent blow came from the blacksmith's shop.
Suo Lame held a rag that looked like he had been soaked in mud, and while blowing off the dust from the stove vigorously, he was doing the cleaning work he had not seen for a long time.
When the black smoke fell to the ground layer by layer, revealing the original appearance of the cast iron tools, the blacksmith shop was filled with a foul smell and fly ash.
Enna couldn't stand this kind of "pollution", and before the dust could get on her, she quickly exited the blacksmith shop and waited outside the door.
Never neglecting the work of the blacksmith, the lame man soon took care of the blacksmith's shop as it should be, and the house became much cleaner.
After a shovel of garbage was dumped on the side of the road outside, Enna saw this and went back indoors, no longer making a disgusted expression.
The cripple methodically carried out the ignition procedure of the furnace, the preparation of fuel, and the cleaning of the furnace, and contracted all the work alone.
After receiving this task, Suo Cripple didn't say anything to Xiao Mozhu and the others, and was actually ready to start smelting the materials immediately.
When the flames rose in the columnar furnace, the smelting began, and from time to time additional fuel was poured into the furnace, and since the meteoric iron block and the short sword had been placed in the furnace beforehand, all the cripple had to do now was to refuel and constantly stir up the bellows to raise the temperature in the furnace.
At some point, the molten iron of meteorite will flow out of the tap hole under the furnace, which is the normal ironmaking process throughout the ages, and iron-making belongs to another stage.
Not only Enna and Xiao Mozhu, but even Xiaoice saw such a process for the first time, and the three of them sat quietly on the stool next to them to watch, but because the temperature of the furnace spread outward, the three of them retreated again and again until they reached the corner.
"It's kind of fun to watch, it's just a little hot." Xiaoice stared at the furnace with interest, and occasionally high-temperature flames burst from the opening above, all of which made her applaud.
Suo Cripple controlled the furnace smoothly, although he was bare-chested, sweat drops still flowed on his dark skin, but fortunately he still had an easy look.
The heat wave on her face made Enna almost unable to open her eyes, and when she wiped away the sweat between her forehead and eyebrows again, she finally couldn't help but say to Xiao Mozhu: "It's too hot here, let's go out and wait, right?" β
Xiao Mozhu shook his head, pointed at Xiaoice, and said to Enna: "Let Xiaoice accompany you, or you can be alone." β
When Xiaoice on the side heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll watch it here, I want to go to you!" β
With a helpless shrug, Xiao Mozhu looked at Enna with regret.
But Enna was not very happy, she was looking forward to going out secretly this time, but in fact it was not as pleasant as she imagined, since she was pulled by Xiao Mozhu like a pendant and flew with the sword, she first walked a long way, and then sat on a dirty and bumpy tractor, and now she is still staying in a hot and dirty room, so it can be said that everything is not going according to her wishes.
"Let's go, let's go! It's so stuffy here! β
Grabbing Xiao Mozhu's sleeve, Enna shook it vigorously and urged coquettishly.
Annoyed for a while, Xiao Mozhu glanced at Xiaoice speechlessly, thinking that someone must "monitor" Suo Cripple's actions, if Xiaoice does not plan to go out, he is not unable to leave for a while.
Xiao Mozhu sighed, glared at Enna helplessly, got up and walked out, and said, "Okay, okay, don't shake, it's okay to go out for a while, let's go!" β
Enna was overjoyed and followed with a smile.
When she reached the door, Enna's waist felt a vibration, and she stopped to see that someone had called.
Walking forward slowly, Enna took out the phone in her waist bag, looked at the contact note name on the screen, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Mother...... Well, actually, I'm with a friend, so don't worry...... Well? Tonight? β
During the call, Enna looked up at the sky, then looked back at the blacksmith before continuing, "I probably won't be back tonight...... Um, um, I see, I'll be safe......"
Drip!
The phone was hung up, and Enna was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Didn't you want to go outside? Hurry. Xiao Mozhu had already walked to the side of the road, turned to look at Enna, and said.
Startled by the call, Enna hurriedly responded to the front: "Okay, okay, here it is."
Taking a step towards the eaves, finally leaving this terrible place, Enna was relieved for less than a second, and the blonde hair on her face swayed, and the cold air followed.
"Phew!"
Enna shivered with cold and couldn't help but gasp.
It turned out that after going out, it was so cold outside! Just getting rid of the stuffy heat and ushering in the scorching cold, Enna clenched her little hands and thought like this.
In a panic, taking an elegant lady's step, Enna caught up with Xiao Mozhu's back, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after being side by side with him.
"How does it feel? It's not fun to go to the countryside, right? Xiao Mozhu looked at Enna's side, and the beauty had a trace of tiredness on her face, and asked with some amusement.
Of course, Enna will not admit it directly, pouted, and replied stubbornly: "I think it's not bad, it's rare to have the opportunity to go out, I'm a high ...... Prosper...... Get...... Very! β
The two chatted with each other, strolling through the quiet stone mill village.
"The air in the countryside is just to be fresher, and the whole person is much more sober." Enna said as she opened her arms to the sky and danced in a circle, showing her vitality.
Xiao Mozhu, who was traveling with him, couldn't help but smile: "Actually, there is not much difference between Beilan Ling and here, right?" Living in a big mansion over there, you just want to come out and hang out? β
Enna inadvertently saw a big spider web on the tree next to the road, and subconsciously moved to the side, but bumped into Xiao Mozhu, and didn't care, and replied: "Of course the mansion is good, everyone in the group gathered next to the castle, it's very lively!" But more of a commercial atmosphere, less of a warm ......"
Thinking back to the scale of En's Manor, the complex composition of the castle, the circle against the wall outside the garden, and the many ordinary houses provided to the group, Xiao Mozhu couldn't imagine what it was like to be in such a family environment.
"I guess you're too young, can't you just communicate more with your parents, go out more with fewer friends, and maybe you can 'pick up' two friends on the road?" Xiao Mozhu said jokingly.
glared at Xiao Mozhu unhappily, Enna said angrily: "I'm not small!" Don't think I'm naΓ―ve, the situation in Landao is different from your Donggu! β
Xiao Mozhu paused and said, "Maybe, not counting the identity of a warlock, I was just born in an ordinary family, very peaceful......"
