Chapter 200: Hermit Master
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
The old man had white hair and stood alone in front of the rugged mountain road, which was really a bit strange.
Ah Wen stopped and glanced at Ziyu, this mountain road is very long, and it is a little far to get to the next house.
"Grandpa, we are going into the mountains, where are you going, but we want us to give you a ride." The fish bends a beautiful crescent moon.
"I'm ......," the old man stroked his beard and thought about it seriously, and said for a while, "I won't go into the mountain, I'm going to Guanshan Town, so you send me to the fork in the road in front, and I'll walk over by myself." โ
The old man is familiar with the terrain.
Ziyu moved his little buttocks, "Grandpa, come up." โ
The old man's eyes were like torches, and he recognized the cold iron chain seven-star lock in Ziyu and Awen's hands at a glance, and looked at the two of them quietly.
"Grandpa, what are you doing here in this barren mountain and wilderness, and what about your family?" Ziyu looked at the old man cautiously, the old man was neatly dressed, not like a poor family, especially the crutch in his hand, which looked very chic, and the old man's identity was not ordinary.
"Hey......" the old man sighed heavily, "I'm here to find my daughter-in-law." โ
"The old man and his relatives are separated?" The fish is curious.
"Nope!" The old man was so angry, "My son is not sensible, and he is angry with my daughter-in-law, who knows that my daughter-in-law took my precious grandson away when she left!" โ
The old man's beard turned up when he talked about it, which was funny.
"Grandpa, your family is so interesting......" Ziyu smiled.
The car crunched, because there were two people pushing, and the mountain road was uphill, so it was a little difficult, and halfway through, Ziyu got out of the car and pushed the car with Arwen.
The old man glanced at it, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, "If it were my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law, it would be nice to have a husband and wife like the two of you...... But you two are good, why are you holding a chain and locking yourself? โ
"Ah......" Ziyu didn't know how to explain, "This was accidentally locked by someone else, but I couldn't find the key for a while, and I couldn't melt it when I found a blacksmith, so I could only lock it like this all the time." โ
The old man raised the crutches in his hand, "The old man never owes everyone a favor, you have given the old man a ride, but do you need the old man to help you remove this shackle?" โ
Ziyu looked at the old man in some surprise.
The old man was quite proud, "When I was young, I liked some special skills, and now I have achieved a little success, and I am afraid that there is no lock that cannot be opened by old decay in this world." โ
Arwen frowned, puzzled by the meaning.
Ziyu understood that the seven-star lock made by the third brother said that no one opened it except for the third brother, but it was not necessarily true.
There are also hidden masters in the huge rivers and lakes, with unique skills.
The third brother once said that there is a master in the rivers and lakes, living in seclusion in the Absolute String Valley, when he was young, he was an incomparable thief god in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the light work, and no matter what the lock is, it can be pried open without a trace, and then synthesized as it is. It's just that the middle-aged thief god withdrew and retired in the Absolute String Valley and never came out again, which made many dignitaries breathe a sigh of relief, and they no longer had to worry about their silver warehouse being stolen quietly.
If the thief god really doesn't come out of the mountain, the third brother's seven-star lock can be said to be open by no one except the third brother.
Thinking of this, Ziyu didn't expect to pick up an old man casually on the side of the road, and it was very likely that he was the famous thief god back then.
"Old ...... Grandpa...... You, you can try ......" subfish to speak a little stuttering.
The old man looked at Ziyu and smiled, "The little girl has some knowledge, let's stop, there is a fork in the road not far ahead, and it will take some time for this lock to open." โ
As soon as he lifted the staff, the head of the staff opened like a lid, and there were several silver needles of varying thickness.
The old man looked at the wrists of the two, and both locks were the same.
Eyes squinted, found a good silver needle from the head of the changing staff, inserted it into the keyhole one by one, and listened carefully to the sound next to the lock, the difference between the seven-star lock is that the mechanism in his keyhole is changing layer by layer, so a silver needle is not pryable, and there are many silver needles of different thicknesses to try to tie up, but fortunately, he does not forget to eat when he goes out.
After a while, I heard a click.
Ziyu's slender wrist successfully broke free from the cold iron lock.
After a while, the old man opened the lock on Arwen's hand in the same way.
Finally, he didn't have to be a small oil bottle, Ziyu smiled at the old man, "Thank you, old man!" โ
"Carving insect skills, no thanks."
The old man put away his crutches tremblingly and parted ways with the two, if there is a person with excellent vision, you can see that the old man's pace is steady, his internal strength is deep, and his kung fu is good.
Seeing the old man walk away, Ziyu rubbed his wrists, "Finally free!" โ
"Do you know that old man?" Ah Wen was careful, and he could see that Ziyu's expression had changed.
Ziyu hid the detailed identity of Nian Shiyu, and only said, "If you can open my third brother's lock, the old man must be a master, before my third brother made this lock, he said that there is a person who may be able to open it, I calculated the age, maybe the old man was the thief god who dominated the rivers and lakes back then." โ
Ah Wen frowned, "You said before, I am not from the rivers and lakes. โ
Ziyu blinked, "You are not from the rivers and lakes, but this does not affect our ability to know about the rivers and lakes." โ
The world is not the king's land, the rivers and lakes are not the place where the capable people who do not want to be confined to the court show their skills, but before the regulations, the national law is the top, the rivers and lakes are reckless, and the anger of the husband can shed thousands of miles of blood, so it is inconvenient for the court to interfere, but if it damages the interests of the country and endangers the people, the court will also arrest it. It can be said that the court and the rivers and lakes are closely related.
Ziyu put the cold iron lock back on the cart and took the water bag to Arwen.
Arwen was also thirsty, and the two drank water before going to the mountains.
Awen was in charge of cutting down the trees, and Ziyu went to the neighborhood to have a look.
As Aven said, the hill was full of stumps that had been cut down, and Awen searched for a while before finding a few sturdy trees.
"How can I help?" Ziyu asked.
Ah Wen glanced at Ziyu's small body, this kind of thing is hard work, she can't do anything, after a while, she said, "There is a saw and a measuring tape next to it, and after a while, the tree will fall and be sawed into six feet long." โ
"Good ......," the fish fiddled with the measuring tape.
She really hasn't gotten these, although she is a beggar in the second life, she is also a beggar in Linzi, Linzi is full of rich and noble families, which family is generous and kind, reward her one or two, she is enough for a long time.
Half an hour later, with a bang, the first tree fell.
Yue Mo is ten feet high, and the fish is gesturing with a measuring tape, holding a saw and eager to try.
It's a pity that this saw is not as simple as she imagined, the posture is wrong, the strength is not enough, Ziyu used the strength of milk to pull twice, and the saw was stuck in the middle of the road.
Ah Wen looked up and saw that Ziyu blushed, and he didn't pull a few strokes, and his whole face was dying.
But a passing woodcutter saw it, but it was interesting, I had never seen this white little girl go into the mountains to cut wood.
So he kindly came over and helped Ziyu pick up the fallen tree trunk and put it on the concave stake on the side.
"This trunk should be suspended in the air, one foot should be steady, and the other hand should be sawed with a saw, like this......" The kind tree gestured to the fish, and under his feet, the trunk was indeed much more obedient, and felt that the saw was extremely easy to saw.
"Thank you, uncle!" Ziyu grinned at the woodcutter.
I sighed in my heart, there are still many good people in this world.
blinked, but the more down-to-earth a good person is, how can he be poorer and poorer? He was also harmed like this by traitorous officials and slippery doctors.
There was a faint impulse in his heart, and he glanced at Arwen cautiously, what would he do if he regained his memory? As a former emperor, can he really endure such oppression of the people in the territory of Qi State?
Ziyu was also a poor person, and for her, her life was a great fortune, but no matter which life she was, she had never changed. Now she can do what she can to change the people who once struggled at the bottom like her, and if she doesn't do it, her conscience will be disturbed.
After the woodcutter left, the fish began to stir the trunk again with great interest.
The saw in the hand was twisted twice, and it was obvious that Fang Fang was extremely obedient in the hands of the woodcutter, but in her hands it stumbled, like an erhu that couldn't be pulled.
"You put it on, I'll ...... it later" Arwen smiled, "You don't have enough strength." โ
"I don't!" Ziyu found out when he became such a weak chicken, obviously he could still be very awesome before, but after more than a year of decadence, he suddenly became a little spicy chicken, which is really unbearable. I gritted my teeth and stumbled and began to saw, with a look on my little face that I would not stop if I didn't cut the trunk.
Finally, half an hour later, the second tree fell in Arwen's hand, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the fish finally sawed off the first number.
"Look! I saw! Ziyu pulled Arwen excitedly.
Ah Wen lowered his eyes, and only saw the red palm of the subfish, which was with great force.
He said in a deep voice, "Next time, you will stay at home." "There is no chain on the left and right.
Ziyu pouted, "I'm fine, I can help you!" โ
Ah Wen was noncommittal, picked up another tree, and began to saw, the movement was much faster than Ziyu, Ziyu looked at Awen's arm, in fact, compared to before he disappeared, his body now seems to be a little stronger, well, more like a mountain man.
Thinking of this, Ziyu couldn't help but smile.
"Laughing at what?"
"Ah, nothing!" Ziyu jumped to Arwen's side, "Are you hungry?" Would you like to eat some buns, and then we'll go to town......"
After the two of them had a simple meal on dry food, Ah Wen carried the tree trunks to the cart and obediently picked up the fish as well.
After the work was done, Ziyu sat on the cart, looking at the sunset that was about to fall, with a smile on his face, hanging on the oncoming breeze, not tired at all, but happy.
Ah Wen's expression was slightly constricted, and he spoke after a while, "In the past, you must have never done these things, why are you so happy now?" โ
Ziyu said leisurely, "I'm happy to be with you, and I'm happy for you." โ
"Huh?" Arwen was puzzled.
Ziyu looked at the light in the distance, oozing with brilliance, "In the past, the place where we lived was very large, but the scenery we saw was very small. Now we live in a small place, but we see a lot of scenery, the house is a little smaller, but we can see farther, are you happy? โ
