Chapter Ninety-Five: Entrustment
Once you get to the center of the village, there are fewer people on the road.
Except for the occasional ordinary person with an extraordinary identity walking by, Du Yun and the others basically saw all martial artists with good strength, most of whom were acquired fivefold and acquired sixfold.
Behind the wall is the central area built by the Zheng family with a large number of people, and only people with extraordinary status and strength can live in it, which is also the Zheng family's means of winning people's hearts.
Not only that, because of the existence of the Zhujiazhuang guards, in addition to leaving enough food for the original villagers, almost all the remaining food in the village was hoarded by the Zheng family.
This is also what Du Yun learned through other villagers on the way when he came all the way.
Although many villagers in Zhujiazhuang were unwilling, the strength of the Zheng family was too strong, and they were afraid of offending the Zheng family and being kicked out, so they could only choose to swallow their anger.
Fortunately, the Zheng family also knew that things could not be done, in addition to gathering a large number of martial artists, they also opened an opening for the ordinary villagers of Zhujiazhuang and allowed them to withdraw food in advance.
They can pay it back slowly, or they can join the Zhujiazhuang Escort Team to do things for the Zheng family!
For these things, Du Yun only understood, but he was not interested, and he did not think of making a move to change them.
He came here just to take a look, and by the way, ask the blacksmith to make him something!
Now the blacksmith shop was in front, so these things in Du Yun's mind were put back in his mind after a flash, and then he walked over quickly with Huang Zhong and the others.
While! While! While!
The closer you get to the smithy, the louder the hammer beats the iron.
When Du Yun and the others walked to the door, because the gate was open, they saw the scene in the courtyard at a glance.
The yard of this blacksmith shop is seventy or eighty square meters in size, and the gate is facing a brick and stone pavement, and at the end of the road is a living room with a wooden door.
The living room is flanked by two rooms that are mainly used for resting.
On both sides of the brick and stone pavement in the courtyard, on the right side is a utility room, because the door is closed and you can't see the scene inside, but large and small objects are placed outside.
These include broadswords and spears that have been sharpened, as well as clusters of arrows and bows, as well as pieces of iron and copper that have been shaped into various shapes.
On the left side of the road, with the waves of fire blowing in your face, you will see large and small stoves.
At one of the small stoves, a stained seven or eight-year-old child was sitting on a small stool, using a modified hand-cranked blower to blow wind into the stove.
In front of the stove, a burly man with his back to the door, wearing an apron and smashing the hammer in his hand.
This should be the owner of the blacksmith shop in Zhouhai, Zhu Tiesheng!
Other than that, there was no one else in the yard.
"Lord, shall we go in directly?" After seeing the situation in the courtyard, Huang Zhong couldn't help but ask.
Du Yun nodded and said, "Well, let's go in directly, but you don't need to open your mouth first, it's not too late to talk when he's done!" After saying that, he stepped over the steps and walked inside.
Huang Zhong and the four of them followed closely and walked in.
……
No wonder the owner of the blacksmith shop built the blacksmith and the casting furnace in the yard instead of in a room like on TV, because the heat emitted from the stove was so great!
Even though only the top of the head was covered by a canopy, and the other three sides were all unblocked, the heat wave in the yard was still uncomfortable.
The grass and flowers growing on the ground can't stand the hot environment, and they become wilting!
But fortunately, the strength of Du Yun's four people is the lowest of the acquired ninefold, and they have not been affected much; As soon as they entered, they walked behind the owner of the blacksmith shop, and watched silently as each other hammered each other on the iron plate.
It took about five or six minutes.
The tired forehead of the child sitting on the small stool was covered with sweat, and he let go of the blower in his hand and was about to wipe the sweat, when he suddenly saw Du Yun and the five people standing not far away.
There was a look of consternation on his dirty face, and then he shouted, "Daddy, someone's coming!" ”
While!
The sound of a hammer smashing on an iron block suddenly sounded.
The owner of the smithy seemed to hear the child's cry, and when the hammer in his hand fell, he did not lift it again, but used his tongs to clamp the iron pieces from the iron plate to the iron table beside him.
Then, he patted the dust off his body and suddenly turned around.
The owner of the blacksmith shop is called Zhu Tiesheng, a burly, thick-faced middle-aged man, perhaps because of the long-term ironwork and casting tools, the muscles on his arms protrude!
Moreover, his strength has also reached the sixth level of the day after tomorrow!
Seeing the five Du Yun who came in at some point, Zhu Tiesheng found that he couldn't see through the other party's strength, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But then he didn't think much about it, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what happened to the few people who came to my blacksmith shop, whether they wanted to forge weapons or other objects?" ”
Hearing Zhu Tiesheng's inquiry, Du Yun thought for a while and said, "I saw that there are many simple ox carts or horse-drawn carts in the village, so I came here today to ask you to help us build a carriage too; But it's not simple, it's similar to the ancient kind of carriage with horses pulling it to protect it from the wind and rain! ”
"Are there any other requirements?"
"It is best to change the two wheels to four or six wheels, the cabin space should be large, it is not a problem to be able to accommodate seven or eight people, and the frame material should also be good and durable; In addition, shock absorption must not be missing! ”
Du Yun said everything that came to mind.
After Zhu Tiesheng heard his words, he nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, "These are all simple, but the process is a little more complicated, and it will take a while longer." ”
"As for the cost, I won't charge you more, and the two mutant beasts with the quadruple strength of the day after tomorrow will be completed!"
"I promised you everything you said, when can you do it?"
Du Yun didn't know what the price was, but the two mutant beasts with the acquired quadruple strength were nothing to him at all, so he directly agreed to it, and then asked again.
Zhu Tiesheng saw that Du Yun agreed, and a smile appeared on his face, and he thought for a while and said, "I have just received a commission from the Zheng family to build a batch of weapons, I'm afraid it will take a few days, or you will come back in five days." ”
Five days?
As soon as he heard Zhu Tiesheng's words, Du Yun's brows suddenly furrowed.
He came to Zhujiazhuang this time just to come and see, and the reason why he wanted to build a carriage was because he happened to hear that there was a blacksmith shop, but he didn't think that he would stay here for five days.
And I don't know how long it will take to build the carriage after five days have passed!
Du Yun had already decided to rush to Nanshan City as soon as possible, if it weren't for the reason why he had to stay, he would definitely not wait so long in this Zhujiazhuang!
