Wang Cheng and his entourage followed Old Man Yuan to the open blacksmith's shed, and when they got closer, they found that there was a large wooden box behind the stove. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Old man Yuan walked over and opened the wooden box and said to the people in Wangcheng: "These are all built by me occasionally after opening a blacksmith shop here, you can come and take a look, pick a suitable one and take it." ”

Wang Cheng and several people looked at each other, and finally Wang Cheng nodded at the palace, and the two stepped forward to look and prepare to choose.

Wang Cheng walked over and looked at the contents of the wooden box. Inside, there are various styles of weapons, including machetes of the same style as those placed on the altar, long slender knives, and even short swords.

Wang Cheng looked at the knives in the box and sighed, "Uncle Yuan, it's so powerful, so many weapons." ”

Old man Yuan waved his hand when he heard Wang Cheng's admiration and said, "Most of these things were built before, and they have not been used in recent years, so I haven't done it this year." Don't just look at it, you can pick whatever you want. ”

When the palace heard Old Man Yuan's words, he immediately reached out and picked up the machete that was exactly the same as the one on the altar, and the palace held the handle of the knife in one hand and slowly stroked the blade of the knife with the other, with a look of love on his face. said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan, I want this." ”

Wang Cheng rolled his eyes at the palace, and knew that you big guy liked this, so he reached out and picked up one he liked, looked back and forth, and decided. After thinking about it, he took out two short knives, turned around and handed them to Zhao Yiyi and Mo Fangya, "Give these two of you to take, although it may not be very easy to deal with zombies, but it is still good to use it for self-defense, after all, there are other dangers besides zombies." ”

Wang Gong saw that Wang Cheng had already helped the two girls pick weapons, but he only cared about looking at his own knife, and touched his head embarrassedly, Zhao Yiyi glared at Wang Gong fiercely when he saw Wang Gong's expression. Wang Gong hurriedly put down the knife and ran over to coax Zhao Yiyi.

Looking at the two of them who showed their affection, Wang Cheng shook his head helplessly, and said to Old Man Yuan: "Uncle Yuan, can I take some, we are going to go to my parents' company, they also need some weapons over there." ”

Old man Yuan nodded, "You can take whatever you want, anyway, you can only put it in a box here to eat ashes, and you can use it to be the original use of these weapons." ”

The old man Yuan in the palace had already agreed, so he picked them up in the box again, and finally Wang Cheng took four short knives and two long knives.

Wang Cheng took these weapons out with great difficulty, looked at Wang Gong who was still talking to Zhao Yiyi, and said angrily: "Wang Gong, you idiot, don't come over to help get it, you can't show it later." ”

Wang Gong saw that Wang Cheng was angry, and hurriedly ran over to take the weapon in Wang Cheng's arms, "Then I'll put these in the car first." With that, he walked out first.

Old man Yuan looked at Wang Cheng, they had already made their choice. He put the lid on the wooden box and said, "You have also chosen your things, so get out of here quickly." ”

Zhao Yiyi opened his mouth when he heard this: "Uncle Yuan, are you alone at home?" Why don't you come with us? ”

Old man Yuan laughed when he heard this: "You guys go, don't worry about me, I'm old, I'm too lazy to move." A few years ago, my son asked me to go to L City, but I refused. ”

"Then how can it be, if there are zombies everywhere, it's too dangerous for you to be here alone, and you will die." Zhao Yiyi insisted on saying. Mo Fangya also helped: "That's right. It's too dangerous to be alone right now. Only when we are together can we overcome the difficulties in front of us. And Uncle Yuan, aren't you worried about your son and them? It's the end of the world. ”

Old man Yuan shook his head, his expression was a little indifferent: "No, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I am also old and have not lived for a few years, I wandered around the north and south for most of my life when I was young, and then I finally settled down in Qinghe Town, and I didn't want to go out." ”

Zhao Yiyi and Mo Fangya found that Old Man Yuan was very resolute, so it was difficult to persuade again, and the atmosphere was dull for a while.

Old man Yuan waved his hand and led a few people from Wang Cheng out of the blacksmith shed: "It's not early, don't you still have to hurry?" Let's go. Wang Cheng and a few people looked at the old man Yuan who walked out, and hurriedly followed.

At this moment, Wang Cheng, who followed behind Old Man Yuan, felt that there was something different in his surroundings. Wang Cheng gradually stopped, thought about it carefully, suddenly walked a few steps quickly and stopped, and then felt it carefully and finally found the difference, Wang Cheng turned around and slowly wanted to walk to the blacksmith shed, but finally stopped by the stone sink full of water at the gate, stretched out his hand to test the water in the trough, and a cool breath instantly passed through his whole body from his fingertips. Wang Cheng looked carefully at the water in the sink, and raised his head to find that Zhao Yiyi and Mo Fangya were looking at him in surprise.

Wang Cheng couldn't take care of the two daughters, and hurriedly stopped the old man Yuan who was about to walk back to the front hall: "Uncle Yuan, don't be busy walking, I just found out that there are strange places in your yard, if I didn't feel more keen, I almost missed it, and the water in your stone sink is not well water, why did I just try it, it's so cold." Not only the water, but also the air near the sink is much cooler. What's going on? ”

Old man Yuan turned around and looked at Wang Cheng who was standing by the sink, and said with a smile: "It's still this doll who is careful, and you have discovered this detail, which is not bad." There's a treasure in this sink. ”

Zhao Yiyi's eyes lit up when she heard that there was a baby, and she immediately said curiously: "Baby, what kind of baby, Uncle Yuan will tell us, in addition to the treasure knife in the lobby, there are other treasures." ”

Old man Yuan seemed to like Zhao Yiyi very much, and when he heard Zhao Yiyi's question, he said with a smile: "The treasure in this sink is different from the treasure knife, that knife is just an ordinary weapon, and it only becomes powerful because it is contaminated with too much murderous energy, and what is placed in this sink is a piece of cold iron flying from the sky." ”

"Han Tie, is there really such a thing?" Wang Cheng had a look of disbelief on his face.

Old man Yuan said in a true scripture: "What you don't know doesn't necessarily don't exist, this world is big, and anything can exist." Saying that, Old Man Yuan took out a pair of gloves from the side and handed them to Wang Cheng and motioned for Wang Cheng to bring them, and after seeing Wang Cheng put on gloves, he pointed to the sink and said, "That piece of cold iron is inside, you go and fish it out." ”

Wang Cheng listened to Old Man Yuan's words and nodded, and put his hand into the sink. Because Wang Cheng himself is also very curious, what is the cold iron like.

The sink was quite deep, and Wang Cheng put his hand in it and never reached his elbow, but in this hot summer, Wang Cheng's arm was numb from the cold. Wang Cheng endured the cold, touched the bottom of the sink, and found that there was only one thing at the bottom of the sink, Wang Cheng took out the item out of the water, without the barrier of the pool, the temperature around it dropped a few degrees again, and several people around couldn't help but shiver.

Unlike the imaginary stone that should be irregularly shaped, the cold iron in Wang Cheng's hand is about 1.2 meters like the blade of the long knife, flat and flat, and the whole body is pitch black but the surface is uneven, like a long-stirring stick.

Old man Yuan looked at the cold iron in Wang Cheng's hand with a complicated face and said: "This cold iron fell from the sky when I was a child, and fell in the mountains and forests near my house, when my father and I heard a loud noise, we came out to look for it, and searched for a long time in the mountains before we found a huge pit, this cold iron rod was in the center of the position, it was also dog days, but when my father and I found it, it was like falling into an ice cellar, it was because I couldn't stand the cold, and finally my father and I went home and took out winter clothes to put on before we dared to come closer, Got this cold iron rod. ”

Wang Cheng looked at the cold iron rod in his hand and asked strangely: "Uncle Yuan, why didn't you make this cold iron into a weapon, this iron rod is much heavier than the same knife weight just now." ”

Uncle Yuan listened to Wang Cheng's words with a bitter expression: "How could you not have thought about making it into a weapon, this is cold iron!" Metal that has never been seen before. When my father saw this, he was excited to make it into a long knife. Wang Cheng became even more strange when he heard it: "Then why did you do it in the end?" Zhao Yiyi and Mo Fangya next to him were also puzzled.

Uncle Yuan sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to do it, but I can't do it, when my father took the cold iron back, he immediately prepared to build it." As a result, firewood generally does not make a fire around the cold iron at all. Since this cold iron is too hard, I originally thought that the shape was the same as the shape of the knife, so I was going to sharpen it directly by sharpening the knife. After grinding the three whetstones, the cold iron did not change at all. My father and I were very upset. Uncle Yuan walked to the side and sat down, lit a cigarette, and recalled while smoking: "There is obviously such a perfect material. As a blacksmith, I couldn't make it, which made my father fall into a kind of demonic dazedness, and then in order to build this cold iron rod, my father took me out of the small mountain village, tossing and turning all the way, just to find a way to process this cold iron. Later, at a smelting plant at the time, the person in charge of the factory found the cold iron rods we were carrying, and promised us to use the factory's blast furnace to heat the cold iron. The cold iron burned in the blast furnace for three days and three nights before turning red, and my father took out the cold iron from the blast furnace, and was very excited to see the red-hot cold iron, so he brought a sledgehammer to prepare to beat the cold iron, but something happened to the hammer. ”

"What's wrong!" The voice of the royal palace was heard on one side. It turned out that a few people in Wangcheng were too fascinated when they heard Old Man Yuan say that the palace had not waited for Wang Cheng and his party outside, so they came in to see if something had happened, but they heard what Old Man Yuan said, so they hurriedly asked what was going on.

Zhao Yiyi had just listened attentively, and was interrupted by the palace, and immediately said dissatisfied: "Brother Gong, what are you doing!" Don't talk and listen to Uncle Yuan carefully. What's wrong with Uncle Yuan? As he spoke, he hurriedly shook Old Man Yuan's arm, eager to know what was going on, Wang Cheng and Mo Fangya nodded approvingly and urged Old Man Yuan to continue. Only the palace itself was left to scratch its head.

Old man Yuan was shaken by Zhao Yiyi: "Okay, okay, don't shake, if you shake it again, it will fall apart." Zhao Yiyi hurriedly let go of her hand and stood aside seriously, waiting for Old Man Yuan to say what happened later.

Old Man Yuan took a puff of his cigarette and continued: "At that time, my father smashed a hammer on the cold iron, but it exploded! ”

"It's exploded!" Several people in Wang Cheng exclaimed incredulously.

"yes, it exploded." Old man Yuan nodded: "After a hammer smashed on the cold iron, the cold iron did not change at all, but there was an explosion. The explosion threw my father flying, and then my father fainted when he hit a hard object as he fell to the ground. The flying hammer seemed to hit the gas tank, causing a further explosion, as a result of which the entire smelter was blown away. At that time, I was frightened by the explosion in my face, maybe God forbid my life, because the workbench that was blown off by the explosion was right in front of me, and all kinds of explosions were stopped. I hid behind the workbench until the explosion was over, and it was a long time before I got up to find that the entire smelter had been blown up in a mess and full of people blowing up. I ran out to find my father in a pile of ruins, and found that he had been blown up and was no longer human, I cried and picked up my father's body, and was about to leave here, and when I walked to the gate, I turned around and searched in the ruins for a long time, and finally found the cold iron that had become the original one, at that time I was thinking that I must make this cold iron into a weapon, I buried my father and took the cold iron rod to look for a forging method, but until now I have not found a way, and later I also stopped thinking about it, Put this cold iron man in this trough, and the water in this trough will become the cooling water when I strike iron. ”

After listening to Old Man Yuan's story, several people seemed very silent, but they didn't expect this cold iron rod to have such a story.

"Okay, the story is over, you guys should leave early." Old man Yuan took the last puff of his cigarette, crushed the cigarette butt on the ground and stood up: "After saying so much, I'm also a little sleepy, you guys go to yours, old man, I'll go to sleep." After saying that, he bent over and walked to the next room with his hands behind his back.

Wang Cheng looked at Old Man Yuan's back, picked up the cold iron rod and said, "Then this cold iron ......"

"Take it if you like it, I'll let go of some things a long time ago." Old man Yuan didn't turn his head, raised his hand and waved, opened the door and walked in.

Wang Cheng opened his mouth, but finally did not speak. After being silent for a while, he took the cold iron rod and said to the others: "Let's go, since Uncle Yuan is ready to die here, let's not disturb him." It's not too early, so let's leave early. ”

Everyone nodded and quietly walked out together.
