"Boy, where are you?" the fat man at the head asked arrogantly.

"Back to the eldest brother, the younger brother is from the Southern District. Xu Qiming replied truthfully that he was indeed from the Southern District.

"What's your name?" the fat man asked again.

"My name is many. Xu Qiming casually conferred a name to fool the other party.

"Huh, many?" Hearing this name, the people around Xu Qiming were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

What's the name? Sounds weird.

"Yes, my father is a farmer, and he chose this name in the hope that I can gain a lot in this world. Xu Qiming probably replied seriously and made an honest appearance.

"Oh, I see—" The crowd nodded, and then their smiles grew even bigger.

The big one is coming...

There is a lot of work today, and they are worried about how to rush to work.

"Many, do you know who this big brother is?" A lean man put his arm around Xu Qiming, pointed at the tall fat man, and asked.

"Please show me the eldest brother, who is this?" Xu Qiming shook his head and asked respectfully.

"This is the nephew of the head of the Zhao family in the Western District, Zhao Xi. The thin man said proudly.

"Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Xigongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful. Xu Qiming hurriedly bowed, and at the same time said with disdain in his heart: Zhao Han still has such relatives in his family?

"Ah, I don't know your name, big brother. Xu Qiming asked the thin man.

"I, I'm Li Hao, Brother Zhao's follower. The thin man patted his chest, and the speed at which he spoke was surprisingly fast: "We Brother Zhao have a lot of followers, and I am just one of them." ”

Saying that, Li Hao showed a very proud look, as if it was a great thing to be Zhao Xi's little brother.

"Isn't it just a dog's leg..."Xu Qiming thought secretly, still admiring it: "I see, then I'll call Brother Li." ”

"Ahh

"Ahem...", as if he was not satisfied with Li Hao's performance, Zhao Xi coughed twice in displeasure, and slapped him on the head: "Get out, I think it's a character when I call you, brother?"

"Yes, yes, yes... Small mistakes. Only then did Li Hao realize that he had acted too much, and hurriedly apologized and stood aside.

"Boy, do you want to learn blacksmithing? That depends on your performance, from now on, you follow me to mix, and if you perform well, I will recommend you to learn from Master Liu." Zhao Xi said arrogantly, but in fact, he didn't take him seriously at all.

What he said was just a piece of cake that he painted, so that he could call Xu Qiming, an "honest man", in the future.

"It's... Is the relationship between Brother Zhao and Liu Mingtao's predecessors very good?" Xu Qiming asked with some hesitation.

"Hey, that's of course, our boss is the apprentice personally selected by Master Liu to teach the technique, and let me tell you, our uncle of Big Brother Zhao has a relationship with Xu Lizheng. Li Hao said proudly.

"I want you to talk more!" another fat slap slapped him on the head, and the tremendous force made his eyes glow with gold stars and his eyes blackened.

"I see, I understand, you will be my big brother from now on. When Xu Qiming heard this, he pretended to understand.

"Haha, since that's the case, let's pay the protection fee first, and our brothers will cover you in the future. Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction, his oily face was very proud and confident.

"Sure... Protection money?" Xu Qiming pretended to be surprised and shouted, "Master Mo didn't say he wanted to pay the money when he called me here." ”

"Nonsense, this is the rule behind the scenes, you are a newcomer, don't you mean it?" Zhao Xi saw Xu Qiming's rigid face, said dissatisfied, and stretched out his fat hand: "If you want to mix here, shouldn't you do something?"

"This..."Xu Qiming's face was embarrassed, and then he showed a painful look, then pretended to touch something from his arms, and then took out more than a dozen copper plates from the storage ring: "I only have so much, or my father bought me money to eat." ”

"Cut, it's just a little bit!Who are you fooling!" Zhao Xi said disgust, and rudely snatched the copper plate from Xu Qiming's hand.

Less is less, but it is better to buy a pot of wine to drink.

"Go, bring me the materials over there, and send them over there. Zhao Xi proudly accepted the money and immediately let Xu Qiming work, but in fact, he handed over the work that Liu Mingtao had arranged for him to Xu Qiming.

"Yes. Xu Qiming didn't say anything, he went to move things, and while walking over, he peeked at these people, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that there was such a thing as protection money in the blacksmith's shop, I want to see whose power you guys have taken advantage of and dare to exploit other people's things on my territory." ”

Thinking of this, he ran to move things, he lowered his voice, willing to be called, ready to inquire about the situation.

This kind of thing happened on his own turf, and he definitely didn't allow it.

In addition to themselves, there must be other people who have been bullied like this, but they don't dare to say it.

What Xu Qiming thought in his heart, those people naturally didn't know, at this time, they were idle around and watched the others busy.

"Cut, it's only such a small amount of money, it's really a poor ghost. Zhao Xi checked the copper plate in his hand and pursed his lips in disgust.

"Big brother, don't worry, there will be one more errand runner in the future, so we can have a good rest. Li Hao said flatteringly.

"Well, yes, let's have a few brothers, you can be lazy in the future, Master Liu is really strict, and he is tired of us. ”

"Hehe, it's really comfortable to live here, and I have food every day. ”

A group of people gathered around Zhao Xi, talking and laughing, some beating his back, some pinching his legs, and serving him diligently.

"Well, yes, after a while when he's done with our work, we'll go on errands, and then we'll go have a good meal. Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Mingtao gave them a task to move all the iron ore and materials for building weapons and tools that they had just bought back during this period of time to various places, which was enough for thousands of catties of things, which was still too heavy for them as martial artists, and they were still very lazy, so they wanted to find someone to be the boss, and they could complete the task without having to work.

Xu Qiming didn't understand that Liu Mingtao's method of training craftsmen was first to make these people hard-working, so craftsmen only need to manufacture, and apprentices have never been qualified to touch the work of manufacturing, and they are all idle things.

Therefore, moving materials, passing tools, cleaning the yard, and learning techniques next to the old craftsmen in their spare time are the work of apprentices, in order to make them endure hardships and stand hard work, so that they can make them with heart.

But on the contrary, because Xu Qiming recruited too many people, there were inevitably some mediocre talents in it, who didn't want to do any work, but liked lazy people, such as Zhao Xi and Li Hao.

"Boss, when can we become craftsmen? I heard that Xu Lizheng treats craftsmen very well. Li Hao asked with a look of longing.

"Well, well, I'll beg my uncle, let him think of a way, besides, I haven't become a craftsman yet, you are like a craftsman? Zhao Xi gave him a blank look.

"Yes, yes, of course we're behind you. Li Hao and others said.

"Well, that's pretty much it. Zhao Xi put his hands behind his head and supported them, lying on the chair very comfortably, enjoying the massage of the people around him.

"Boss, I'm done. But before he could enjoy it more, Xu Qiming had already returned.

"What... What! You're kidding!" Zhao Xi's eyes widened when he heard this, and his face was full of disbelief.

"That's it, you kid shouldn't be lazy and can't deceive us!" Li Hao shouted in disbelief.

That's a few thousand catties of things, and all the work of a stick of incense has been moved!

"No, I've really finished moving everything. Xu Qiming said with an innocent face.

"Impossible, what I can't do as a martial artist, you actually used a stick of incense!" Zhao Xi was already stunned.

These materials are to be sent to the hands of various old craftsmen, and the martial artists will take dozens of catties at most, and it will take a day or two to move them to run all over the field, but Xu Qiming actually finished moving them with a stick of incense!

Xu Qiming didn't show his breath, so Zhao Xi thought that the other party was just an ordinary person, and he mixed in and wanted to eat, who would have thought that they were calling and drinking a martial sect?

No one thought about it over there, after all, there were very few martial arts sects in Jianghai County, and Xu Qiming was so young, no one thought that his cultivation would be very high.

In addition, Xu Qiming has never been here, so everyone doesn't know him.

"Really, I don't believe you're going to see it. Xu Qiming looked ignorant and pointed to the place where the materials were placed on the side.

Zhao Xi and the others immediately ran over, and then they were all dumbfounded.

The material room, which was once stuffed to the brim, is now empty!

It's really emptied!

"How is this possible!" Zhao Xi was stunned.

"Boss, I've done everything you commanded, what else do you command. Xu Qiming asked with a smile.

"Uh... Ahem, a lot, you're doing a good job, but it's not enough, keep up the good work, go pour me a glass of water. Zhao Xi heard Xu Qiming's voice and had to temporarily put away his stunned expression, pretending to be deep and asking Xu Qiming not to be proud, and then asked him to pour water.

"Yes. Xu Qiming said, picked up the water cup and went to pour water.

"Big brother.... This kid..."Xu Qiming just left on the front foot, and Li Hao and the others came over behind, all looking at each other a little.

"This kid, he's full of great strength!" Zhao Xi showed a look of disbelief.

"So what are we going to do?" the crowd was a little uneasy.

"What are you afraid of, that many are so honest, wouldn't it be better for us to let him just live for us in the future. Li Hao said.

"That's what you said..."Zhao Xi had no choice but to nod when he heard this.

The handling of materials is done by the apprentices in turn, and today it happens to be Zhao Xi and others, who want to send materials to each craftsman, build weapons and tools, and now, Xu Qiming has sent the amount for several days, which is too perverted.

"Boss, the water is coming. At this time, Xu Qiming came back with water, I don't know if it was intentional, his hand slipped, and the bowl filled with boiling water raised an arc in the air and smashed straight on Zhao Xi's head.

"Ahh

"What's going on?"

"What's going on, what's going on. ”

The craftsmen and apprentices on one side were attracted to it.

"Boss, are you alright? Li Hao and the others gathered around, worried, and then they all looked at Xu Qiming, who caused trouble......

"Boy, you don't know how to work, look at our boss, you want to die, don't you!"

"It's just that I see you're getting impatient. ”

"Boss, clean him up!"

The people around Zhao Xi accused Xu Qiming one after another, and the people on the side looked at Xu Qiming coldly, they all understood that Zhao Xi was a violent temper, and Xu Qiming was probably going to be beaten today.

"Get out of here!" Zhao Xi shouted, twisted his fat body and stood up, seeing that Xu Qiming did not apologize and did not react, he was furious: "Boy, do you want to die!"

"I didn't do anything wrong, what do I apologize for?" Xu Qiming said heartlessly.

"You!" Zhao Xi was furious: "Very good, do you think that you are very powerful if you move so many things!" Just because you splash me with water, I will break your hand today and let you have a long memory!"

With that, his fat hand clenched tightly, and a punch slammed into Xu Qiming's chest!
