Old man Hu smiled and said, "Of course not, didn't you see that those people in line are ordinary people, and the gorgeously dressed sons and brothers are all heading to the other side of the city." ”

Li Hao smiled: "I knew I would have seen it, otherwise I would still be stupid to stand here and do something." ”

At this time, they were wearing new silk brocade robes, like housewives and daughters in rich and noble families, but their appearance was average. So, not many people look at them more.

Li Hao looked at the number given by the people in front of him, and had a bottom in his heart, and when he arrived at the city gate, he handed over a piece of silver, which was enough for ten taels, and said delicately: "The officials have worked hard, this little bit of silver is not a tribute, give the officials a cup of tea." ”

"Thank you, young lady." The leader who took the silver glanced at the three of them uncomfortably before letting them go, which was not much looser than that side. It's just this road, but it costs money to enter.

Old man Hu smiled: "Little doll, I know you haven't done this kind of thing before, but I didn't expect you to be clever, just watching how others do it, but you have learned to be proficient." ”

Li Hao said with a smile: "This kind of thing has been seen a lot in restaurants. It's just that if I want to say it, it's a little different. Also, I didn't expect that Xiaoxian and I would also become a person who sent money out, instead of collecting money. ”

Xue Yue'er smiled: "Yo, you still collect cash, who will give it to you?" ”

Li Hao said proudly: "Although there are not many opportunities, there are still them." For example, if someone doesn't want to wait longer, they will send me money and ask me to urge the master chef to do it first. ”

"I see."

When the three of them entered the city, although they were on horseback, they moved very slowly, no different from walking. The streets are crowded with people, not easy to gallop on, and sometimes slower than pedestrians.

Li Hao sighed and said, "I didn't expect that one day, riding a horse would be more tiring than walking." ”

Old man Hu said with a smile: "This is nothing strange, this is a commercial street, there are shops on both sides, of course, there are more people." It's just that the fat man doesn't want to go and store the horses separately. ”

Li Hao smiled bitterly: "How can I say that there are no horseback riders here, Granny Wang, we can be killed by you." ”

It took the three of them more than half an hour to squeeze outside a blacksmith's shop.

Li Hao looked up at the signboard of the store again and asked Xue Yue'er, "Sister Yu, what is this name?" ”

Xue Yue'er smiled: "Alas, even if you don't know it, but you still have to ask, why don't you learn to read and write?" ”

Li Hao laughed even more: "Speaking of me, there are only four words on this signboard, but you haven't said your name yet, you are not tired." ”

Xue Yue'er was speechless, shook her head and said, "Okay, I knew you were slippery, my sister couldn't say you, I'm afraid of you!" Remembering these four words is called 'Quanzhou Jingzao'. ”

Li Hao said: "I remember the name of the store, not the word, of course I remember it clearly." Oh, no, the word 'Quanzhou' is not the same as what I saw outside the city gate just now, you won't fool me if I don't know how to read, fool me. ”

Xue Yue'er smiled: "Hehe, I can't imagine that you still remember that those two words are different from these two words, it's rare!" Of course, this character is a little different, it is the seal character of the previous generation, and this font is the common font of this dynasty, of course, it is different. ”

Li Hao stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Then how do you know so clearly, you fake scholar, don't you only know a few words?" ”

Xue Yue'er smiled: "You don't know this, although the font is different, the glyph is very similar, of course I know it." With your curiosity, you still learned the words earlier, so you don't have to be so confused. ”

Li Hao jumped off the horse and said, "I still don't learn, so I come to ask you every day, hehe." ”

Old man Hu had been in for a while, when the side door opened, and a young man greeted them, led their horses, and rushed in.

Xue Yue'er and Li Hao entered from the main entrance, and couldn't help but feel strange when they saw all kinds of swords and armor in front of them, as well as farm tools such as scythes and shovels.

Xue Yue'er said curiously: "Is this a weapon shop or a farm tool shop?" How can everything be made. ”

A shopkeeper smiled and said, "As the girl can see, this shop is both a weapons shop and a farm tool shop, as long as the girl wants to build it, this shop will do its best to build it." You better go to the forge in the backyard, someone is waiting for you in the back. ”

Li Hao and Xueyue walked into the inner courtyard, only to see that there were two stoves, and five or six people were busy there, pulling the stove, hammering, trimming, and assembling, and they were still very busy.

Old man Hu was chatting with a tall and strong man, who was about seven feet tall, with knotted muscles all over his body, his face and skin a little blackened by smoke and fire, and he was holding a sledgehammer and beating a long sword.

As soon as he saw Li Hao coming in, he threw the sword-shaped rough embryo that had become cold into the furnace and shouted, "Ah Dong, you will build this sword later." It's not built, you are not allowed to eat, and I will come and see it later. ”

The young man who had opened the door and drove the horse before let out an "oh", pulled the stove, and looked curiously at the two gorgeously dressed and ordinary-looking little girls in front of him.

The tall man smacked at him and said, "Look at it, people are not worthy of people like you." ”

Ah Dong had a bitter face, rubbed his head and said, "Master, why are you beating people indiscriminately?" When a guest comes, of course I have to see it, and I am not blind. ”

Ah Dong felt as if he was embarrassed, and looked at the two little girls again.

"You'd better not be blind, I'll see what you make of your sword later."

After the tall man finished speaking, he led Li Hao and the three of them to a small room next to the forging room.

"These two are Li Hao and Xue Yue'er, my name is Xingtie, Fat Ball's friend." The tall man moved a few stools, beckoned the three of them to sit down, poured three cups of tea casually, and pushed them to them.

Old man Hu shook his head and said, "Both are senior brothers, but the difference between the two of you is so big. Brother Xing loves to create novel tools, but Senior Brother Ling likes to create sharp knives. And the attitude towards people is also very different. If Senior Brother is as good at talking as you, it would be good for the fat man to stay at his peak for a few more days. ”

Li Hao and Xue Yue'er said in surprise: "The senior is actually the junior brother of the instrument madness? ”

Star Railway: "It's weird, isn't it?" I think so too. A person like me, who looks no different from an ordinary blacksmith, how can he be the junior disciple of a famous instrument maniac? Do you think I'm a fame-seeker? ”

Li Hao stuck out his tongue and said, "How come, maybe the seniors want to master the trick of forging more proficiently in this ordinary forging." ”

Li Hao has recently learned Xue Yue'er's actions, and he has become more and more accustomed to it.

Xingtie nodded and said, "You just came up with a lot of ideas, Li Hao, who wants to forge exquisite secret weapons, do you know how to draw?" ”

Li Hao: "I don't know a few words, how can I draw?" ”

Xingtiedao: "Okay, you tell me the principle, I'll draw it." But if it's not perfect, I'm going to spank you! ”

Li Hao said again: "But I don't know how this iron tool creates a strong elasticity, and I am afraid that it will not work just by pressing the iron sheet." ”

Star Railway: "This elasticity problem is solved by me, you can tell me your method." ”

So, Li Hao told the newly conceived plan that he had come up with these days, using the principle of prison traps, and Xingtie was drawing a picture there, and by the way, he also followed Li Hao to discuss the role of these devices. Slowly, Li Hao designed several sets of hidden weapon schemes, which were drawn on paper by Xingtie.

The more Xingtie painted, the more energetic he became, his eyebrows fluttering, his thick hands drew quickly on the paper, and those paintings were very realistic and very beautiful.

Old man Hu looked at the painting for a while, it was all round pipes, fine needles and the like, looking at the boss boring, he shook his head impatiently and said: "Fat man, I'm going to drink, you guys get it slowly, I guess it can't be built without a few days of work." ”

Sure enough, Xingtie nodded and said: "Of course, don't look at these things as simple as they seem, you have to do it vigorously and shoot accurately, it's a joke, and you can't make a mistake at all." In my opinion, it will take three or four days to build this delayed flying needle tube alone, and I am afraid it will take more than half a month to create all these things. ”

Old man Hu said: "Okay, these two dolls will be left with you." The fat man went to drink, see you in half a month. ”

Xingtiedao: "But I don't know if the two little dolls have to endure hardship, I have no one to serve here." ”

When Old Man Hu heard this, he smiled, ran out of the door directly, and disappeared over the wall.

Li Hao said: "We have endured all kinds of hardships along the way, where do we still need others to serve." ”

Xingtie nodded with a smile and said, "I can't think of two little dolls, they are not very old, but they are already quite sensible. After being in the rivers and lakes for so long, I must have suffered a lot. By the way, show me your two daggers to see if this senior brother has advanced his skills. ”

Xue Yue'er blushed and lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid there is some inconvenience here." ”

Of course, Xingtie knew what she was talking about, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I still have a secret room here, you go inside and take it out and give it to me." ”

Xingtie said, patting on a wall, "Titicaca", a slight sound, and a portal suddenly appeared underground. Xue Yue'er and Li Hao walked down together, Xue Yue'er looked at Li Hao who went down with her, opened her mouth to speak, but retracted her words and walked in with her head down.

Xingtie smiled, looking at the disappearing backs of the two and shaking his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

As soon as Li Hao walked to the secret room, took off his pants, and took out the cold iron dagger tied with a leather strip from the inner thigh.

Xue Yue'er lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and when Li Hao put on her pants, Xue Yue'er was still in a daze with her head down. Li Hao pushed her strangely, "Sister Yue'er, you should hurry up." ”

Taking advantage of the extra time, Li Hao looked at the furnishings in this room, and saw a dazzling night pearl above his head, and on the shelves around it, all were some novel and strange things. Li Hao touched this for a while, touched that for a while, and muttered: "What are these things for?" ”

Suddenly, Li Hao shouted: "Sister Yue'er, come and take a look at this, there is an iron villain here, I don't know what it is for." ”

When Li Hao looked at Xue Yue's child, he saw that her crescent moon was indeed tied to the inner side of her snow-white thigh. Xue Yue'er grabbed the crescent moon in her hand in a panic, anxious to put on her pants, suddenly slowed down her movements again, and boldly raised her head to look at Li Hao, but saw that Li Hao had already grabbed the iron man and was playing with it, looking for a mechanism on the iron man. Xue Yue'er sighed lightly, feeling a little disappointed.

Xue Yue'er got dressed, tidied up, grabbed the crescent moon and walked to Li Hao's side, and said resentfully: "Did you find the mechanism?" ”

Li Hao said excitedly: "Of course, I don't look at who Xiaoxian is!" ”

Li Hao grabbed the iron man's feet and turned around a few times, and when he put them on the table again, the iron man began to dance on the table.

Xue Yue'er was fascinated by this dancing little iron man again, and exclaimed: "The skills of this Xingtie predecessor are unexpectedly so clever. Li Hao, can you go and ask that senior to give me this little iron man? ”

Li Hao said: "You want something, of course you have to ask for it yourself." ”

Xue Yue'er said, "You help me beg, okay?" The senior can talk to you more, and besides, you can talk better, so you should be able to move the senior to give me this thing. ”

Li Hao nodded and went out with Xue Yue'er, who was still holding the little iron man in her hand.

Xing Tie was overjoyed when he saw the two of them coming out with daggers, and when he suddenly saw the little iron man in Xue Yue'er's hand, his eyes became a little lost again.

Li Hao said: "Senior, we want this cute little iron man, can you give it to us?" ”

Xingtie swept away his frustration and said with a smile: "Presumably she asked you to beg me." ”

Li Hao stuck out his tongue again, "The predecessor is really powerful, and he can guess it." ”

Xingtiedao: "It's okay to give it to you, but this thing is very important to me, and you have to exchange it for it." ”

Xue Yue'er said: "How much silver do you want, let's buy it." ”

Xingtie shook his head and said, "If you don't sell silver, if you want it, you have to exchange it for one of these daggers." ”

Xue Yue'er looked at the little iron man in her hand, and then at the dagger in the hands of the two, and said reluctantly: "Then I still don't want it." ”

Xingtie said to Li Hao: "What about you? Do you want more? ”

Li Hao said indifferently: "Just change it, anyway, this dagger was given to me by the old man." Although it is sharp, it is a lot of trouble, and it is reassuring to have less. In life, as long as you are happy, this little iron man can make Sister Yue'er happy, so he will give her a good exchange. ”

Xue Yue'er became very happy, but still said: "Li Hao, I don't want it, I really don't want it." We're outside, so we still need this dagger to defend ourselves. ”

Xingtie nodded and said, "It's good, but the little guy can think about it, this little iron man will be given to this little girl, anyway, it's useless to ask for it, but keeping it makes me sad." ”

Xue Yue'er said: "Presumably, the predecessors created this little iron man, and originally wanted to give it to their most beloved person." ”

Saying this, Xue Yue'er glanced at Li Hao again, but Li Hao just looked at the little iron man in her hand, which made her feel a strange feeling of loss and helplessness.

Xingtie looked everything in his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, at the beginning, I also fell in love with a girl, she liked some strange things very much, so I changed my tricks to create all kinds of strange toys for her, and I felt happy when I saw her smile happily." Suddenly, one day, she said, these things you have made are too simple, can you make a little person, so that it can dance like a human? For her idea, I forgot to sleep and eat to study how to create this kind of villain, fascinated, the master shook his head, persuaded me to concentrate on learning how to create a treasure knife craft of cutting gold and jade, where can I listen, just all day long studying how to create this kind of dancing little iron man. In a fit of rage, my master kicked me out of the school, saying that I was a plaything. ”

Xingtie said, crying sadly.
