Ou Yezi looked a little unhappy, he felt that he had spent so much effort to make the iron tools, but he told his aunt that he couldn't do it.

"Probably not, aunt, I'm fighting very seriously according to what you said."

Ou Ye seemed to see that the young Ou Yezi was arrogant, and he didn't say anything, just let Ou Yezi use it.

Ou Yezi, who was full of ambition, added a wooden stick to the hoe, and gave it to a family, and the next day, he continued to start the forging, and Ou Ye did not come, and in her eyes, there seemed to be something.

Ou Yezi basically, three meals a day, are in the blacksmith shop, directly do not go home, he has been completely obsessed with the matter of iron, in a few days in a row, Ou Yezi built several farm tools, to other people in the small county, everyone praised him for his young and promising.

Ouyezi is very happy, and from time to time, he will go to the mine by himself and carry some ore back.

I can see that the young Ou Yezi, at this time, his heart has been extremely inflated, and he has also begun to forge the sword, but several times, when he hits, the sword breaks, and Ou Yezi is very discouraged, so he can only continue to forge.

At this time, there was an incident in the small county, those peasant women who were working in the fields, the farm tools they got from Ou Yezi were cracked, and they couldn't be used, so they took them back, Ou Yezi panicked, he remembered his aunt, but before, he had contradicted his aunt, and he hadn't gone back for half a month.

With a complicated mood, Ou Yezi began to work behind closed doors, he stayed at home all day, kept flipping books, repeatedly experimented, gradually, he seemed to know, where the problem was, but how to solve it, he couldn't find the direction, in all kinds of helplessness, puzzled, Ou Yezi could only go home.

"Uncle, Ye'er knows that she is wrong, and I hope that Uncle and Aunt you will be able to teach Ye'er more strictly in the future."

Back at the blacksmith's shop, O'S picked up a broken sword, held it in his hand, and sighed.

"Ye'er, what is this?"

"Back to my aunt, it's a sword."

O's shook his head and threw away the unforged sword in his hand.

"This is not a sword, Ye'er, a sword and a farm tool, it's completely different, you are not allowed to use the sword privately in the future, Ye'er, listen to it, until you can't make a farm tool that is not bad for ten years, you are not allowed to forge a sword."

Ou Ye explained the method of forging to Ou Yezi in detail, day after day, year after year, Ou Yezi overcame a lot of things, but he always thought about forging a sword at every turn.

In this year, Ou Yezi was 15 years old, the war was over, and in the end, in the face of the powerful forces of Chu, Yue became a vassal of Chu.

Ou Yezi's uncle, Ou Qin also came back, as soon as he came back, he was surprised, he didn't expect that in just 2 years, Ou Yezi has grown stronger, his skin is darker, and he looks like a young man in his 20s, and what surprised Ou Qin the most is that Ou Yezi is actually striking iron instead of studying.

It wasn't until Ou Qin showed Ou Qin the farm tools created by Ou Yezi that Ou Qin sighed.

"Ye'er, this kid is very talented, at this age, he can make such a good iron tool, I will never be able to do it."

In the end, Ou Qin's blacksmith shop had one more figure, and Ou Yezi officially became a blacksmith, but this will, as soon as the war is over, basically, the blacksmiths' business will also begin to be cold.

Ou Qin also personally began to teach Ou Yezi the methods and skills of striking iron, but Ou Yezi, who knew this, always wanted to create a sharp sword, a sharp sword that could kill all sides on the battlefield, and this desire became more profound with the improvement of his skills.

One night, when Ou Yezi and his uncle were drinking wine and eating meat, he asked.

"Uncle, when can I start forging swords?"

"You can do it at any time, Ye'er, the kung fu you have in your hands now is already very good, but you are still young and your strength is not enough, when you are old and have the strength, you will naturally surpass your uncle."

Ou Yezi was very happy, and he and his uncle did it several times in a row, but when he thought of what his aunt had said to him, he couldn't forge a farm tool that would not break for ten years, so he was not allowed to forge a sword, and Ou Yezi's heart was clouded again.

"What? Ye'er, do you have something on your mind? ”

"My aunt said that if I can't forge farm tools that won't break for ten years, I'm not allowed to grow gradually."

"Hey, she's a woman, what do you know? I'll go back and talk to her, and tomorrow, I'll teach you how to cast a mold and how to open a front. ”

After Ou Qin went back, he was a little angry, he felt that it was quite unreasonable for Ou Shi to say that the farm tools that were not broken for ten years, because the farm tools had to be used every day, and after a long time, they would naturally break down, not to mention ten years, within three years, they might have to be replaced.

Facing her husband's questioning, Ou Shi sighed and said.

"Husband, what do you think of Ye'er?"

"Yes, at this age, you can forge such a good farm tool, I can't do it at his age, but why do you use such a joke to restrain Ye'er?"

"Husband, although I am a woman, but I still understand, in the blacksmith, temper this truth, Ye'er is now young, impetuous, doing things, too arbitrary, he will have a long way to go in the future, the iron that has not been broken in the past ten years, does it really exist? Isn't it, husband, the truth is that this truth has been tempered thousands of times, isn't this what you taught me, husband? ”

Ou Qin's words made Ou Qin speechless, he was a little helpless, once upon a time, he was also pursuing to be able to build better weapons, farm tools, and constantly worked hard, but after all, everything has an end, he is already a very famous blacksmith in Yueguo, and he has reached the top, and he has no power to chase these things.

Suddenly, Ou Qin nodded.

"In this case, Ye'er is so talented, I will teach him more seriously and harshly, maybe in the future, one day, Ye'er will become a great blacksmith."

Gradually, things came to an end, Ou Yezi was a little disappointed, and his uncle also strongly supported Ou Yezi, and he must let Ou Yezi create a farm tool that will not be bad for ten years, otherwise, he is not allowed to cast a sword.

And the sword, in ancient times, is not only a symbol of killing the enemy, but also a symbol of status, many princes and nobles, will be equipped with a good sword, and these good swords, are some famous blacksmiths, forged, Ou Qin also to some princes and nobles of the Yue Kingdom, built.

Ou Yezi's heart gradually appeared dissatisfied, and he found that his uncle didn't know how to build a sword recently, and he was very hardworking and serious.

Gradually, when Ou Yezi was 18 years old, he still failed to create a farm tool that was not bad for ten years, and his heart was extremely depressed, but it was his uncle, the sword-casting technology, continued to rise, and many princes and nobles even came to find Ou Qin to cast a sword.

And Ou Yezi, thinking that at this time, he could forge a better sword than his uncle, and he felt that his uncle was afraid that he would forge a better sword than him, and robbed his uncle's job.

The young and vigorous Ou Yezi, one night, left a letter, and left, he planned to go directly to the nearby big city, Yecheng, where there are many blacksmiths, and it is relatively rich, and it has been the place where some famous swords were born since ancient times.

Even now, the sales of swords are still very good, and many blacksmiths have received great rewards for their own forged swords.

Ou Qin and Ou Shi were heartbroken after seeing Ou Yezi's book.

"I'll go get Ye'er back."

Ou Qin said, he planned to pack up his things and go to Ou Yezi, but at this time, Ou Qin dissuaded him.

"Husband, tempered thousands of times, what is tempered is not a simple iron, but the heart of a blacksmith, this truth, Ye'er must understand, it is naturally good for him to go out and break through, Yecheng is not far from here, when Ye'er arrives, you ask someone to inquire about his news, we will go to see him from time to time."

Ou Qin nodded.

Ou Yezi came to Yecheng with excitement, he was very surprised by the prosperity of the big city, and when he saw that most of the people on the street were wearing swords, he felt that he had come to the right place.

Ou Yezi wandered around the city for several days, visiting many blacksmith shops, but none of the bosses wanted to use him, because he looked too young, and the bosses felt that he could not make anything good.

In desperation, Ou Yezi's entanglement was almost used, and he had some thoughts of wanting to retreat.

"How can I do that? Wouldn't that be a shame when you go back? ”

Ou Yezi made up his mind, and kept selling swords in the city, looking for opportunities, he hadn't eaten or drunk for more than two days, and his willpower was almost exhausted.

And at this time, a shop that seemed to be doing very cold business asked for Ou Yezi, the owner was called Zhou Wu, an elderly blacksmith, about 50 years old.

In the end, Zhou Wu and Ou Yezi agreed that there was no salary, only food, and help with cleaning and the like.

Zhou Wujia, there is also a daughter, born very beautiful, only 17 years old, one year younger than Ou Yezi, after Ou Yezi started to work, he is very diligent, he does everything single-handedly, Zhou Wu also likes Ou Yezi very much, I think this young man is good.

But Ou Yezi's strange thing was that the furnace used to forge the sword looked very old, and many things were already rusty, and then he learned that Zhou Wu had been contaminated with rheumatism and could no longer hold the hammer, and the sword he created was not very good, and it was not easy to sell.

Business is very deserted, it is good to be able to sell one in ten days and half a month, and many swords in the store are already a little old.

Ou Yezi really couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to cast a sword, but Zhou Wu shook his head, he felt that Ou Yezi would definitely not be in the heat and that casting a sword was a waste of materials.

Finally, on the night when Zhou Wu took his daughter to visit relatives, Ou Yezi burned the stove that had not been lit for several months.
