For most of the spring months, the weather gradually warmed up, and Lin Mei's heart finally relaxed a lot.

The second dragon raised its head in February, which was also Zhang Dabao's thirteenth birthday.

Before Lin Mei went out, she gave a red envelope containing five taels of silver, and asked him to pick out what he liked, all of which should be given to him as a birthday gift.

Zhang Dabao thanked him happily, but the silver in his hand didn't know where to hide.

After thinking about it, he finally hid the silver directly in the shoe, but fortunately, his mother was afraid that he would grow up quickly, so she deliberately made the sole a size larger, otherwise the silver would still be in the shoe.

Taking advantage of the lack of attention, he sneaked out into the street and went straight to the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop is not big, and most of the spots are farm tools, Zhang Dabao looked left and right, but he didn't find a weapon, and said in disappointment: "Master, don't you have any weapons here?" How can they all be farm tools? Or a kitchen knife or scissors? ”

When the blacksmith saw that he was a half-grown child, he said impatiently: "Go, go, play, this is not a place for you to play." ”

At this time, another guest came to the door. The blacksmith did not care about him, so he welcomed the guest.

When Zhang Dabao saw that the guest had said a few words, the blacksmith happily went to the back room and took out a wooden box more than three feet long.

Zhang Dabao was curious, and stretched out his head to see what was in the mysterious wooden box. I don't know if I don't see this, I was startled when I saw it, good guy, a few Zanxin big knives, about three feet long and three inches wide.

Before he could see it, the guest snapped, put the lid of the wooden box in his arms, paid the money and left directly.

"Look at what you see, see that you can't pull it out carefully when you see it." The blacksmith had just made a business, and he was in a good mood, and when he saw that his kid's eyes were straight, he couldn't help but joke.

"Master, do you have any other weapons here? I want to pick the one that's handy. "Zhang Dabao can be regarded as seeing a little way.

When the blacksmith saw that he was still not giving up, he asked, "Stinky boy, do you have any money to buy it?" ”

Zhang Dabao wanted to take out the silver and shine brightly, but he was afraid that if he didn't meet the right one, he wouldn't expose it, so he understood this truth when he was young, so he straightened up and said: "Don't look down on people, the master doesn't have any silver to buy, why are you here?" ”

When the blacksmith saw that he really wanted to buy it, he took him to the back room.

"This row is a big sword, these spears, except for the sword on the shelf, you can't choose that sword, this is someone else's order, the other weapons are here, do you see what you like?"

Zhang Dabao is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking east and west, he thinks everything looks good, and he wants to buy everything, but unfortunately there is not enough silver.

"Have you chosen? These weapons are all new. The blacksmith urged.

"Do you think a big knife or a hammer is better? Or a spear? Zhang Dabao couldn't hold his mind anymore.

For the first time, the blacksmith met such a foolish lord and asked, "Of course you will choose whatever you want?" You don't know how to use these weapons, do you? ”

This really got to the point, Zhang Dabao really didn't know how to use it, but I heard from Mr. Storyteller in the tea shop that all generals have a handy weapon. At that time, Zhang Dabao thought that if he had silver, the first thing he would do was to buy himself a weapon, which was called being prepared.

"Come on, why don't you choose a dagger, this thing is mainly used for self-defense, and it is easy to carry." The blacksmith saw that he really didn't know how to do it, it was pure nonsense, and now he just wanted to send people away as soon as possible.

Zhang Dabao picked an ordinary dagger and tried it in his hand, feeling pretty good, and asked, "How much is this dagger?" ”

"Three taels of silver, the boy in this store is not bullied, and he refuses to bargain." Seeing that he had finally chosen one, the blacksmith directly quoted a selling price.

"Do you want to do this? Which one? Zhang Dabao asked, pointing to the top one.

"You kid has a good eye, that's at least six taels." The blacksmith said and looked at him again.

"Six taels? Both look similar, how can they be half the price? Zhang Dabao asked curiously.

"It looks the same, but it's different." The blacksmith took off the top dagger and took an arm-thick piece of wood in his hand, only to see the blacksmith take the dagger and stab it violently, and the wood was pierced.

Zhang Dabao was overjoyed and shouted: "Good dagger, good dagger, I want this, uncle has a good heart, I only have five taels of silver, just sell it to me." ”

After saying that, he took off his shoes, took out the silver and handed it over.

When the blacksmith saw him take out the silver from his shoes, he was amazed and said secretly: This kid must not be a thief, this silver is also hidden.

Seeing that he didn't react, Zhang Dabao directly took the dagger and stuffed the silver into his hand, regardless of whether he agreed or not, picked up the dagger and ran, and collided with someone before he left the blacksmith shop.

"Blind your dog's eye, stinky boy, where are you going to hit it?" As soon as Huang San entered the store, he was almost knocked down by a kid, and he couldn't help but scold.

Zhang Dabao was afraid that the blacksmith would regret it, so he said "I'm sorry", turned his head and ran.

When the blacksmith went out of the back room, he saw another guest coming to the door, and hurried to meet him, and when he saw the person who was coming, he was astonished: How could this man be here?

"Why are you stunned, you don't know Lao Tzu?" Huang San was on the fire, and when he saw the blacksmith standing there in a daze, he shouted directly.

The blacksmith was excited, and hurriedly greeted: "Third master, are you a rare guest?" But I heard that you weren't sent to the army? ”

"This is a long story, I think that Lao Tzu thought that he would not be able to come back in this life, but he didn't expect Lao Tzu to have good luck, encountered the rectification of the three armies, and was sent to the Qin Wang's military camp, and now he is also a prisoner." Huang San raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

"Yo, congratulations to the third master, congratulations to the third master, my weapon is at your disposal, it will be counted as a congratulatory gift for my brother, and I will rely on the third master to take care of it in the future."

"Well, let me ask you, who is that kid who just ran out?" Huang San was haunted by what happened just now, thinking that he was a well-known figure in Baishui Town back then, especially in Nanji, there was no one who didn't know Huang Sanye.

"Yo, you said that kid, don't mention it, I don't know whose bear child is running around fooling around."

Huang San saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he chose the weapon angrily, but he remembered what happened just now.

In the blink of an eye, it was March 3, and the weather was unusually hot.

At this time, the news of the Tibetan attack on Shazhou reached Baishui Town, and everyone panicked.

Fortunately, within a few days, there was good news from Taiyuan Mansion that General Xue of the Zuo Yulin Army led his troops to meet the battle and achieved a great victory in the battle.

The people cheered and celebrated with cannons, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and a recruitment order came from the sky.

However, this recruitment is different from the past, it is not compulsory, it is voluntary, and anyone who has reached the age of 14 to 45 can sign up to join the army, and those who sign up will be compensated 15 taels of silver in a lump sum for a period of one month.

Money can make ghosts grind, and just three days after the recruitment order was announced, more than 80 people signed up in Whitewater Town alone.

Zhang Dabao got the news of the conscription, and was very excited, and ran to the conscription registration office every day to watch the excitement.
