Chapter 126: The Son of the Old Man
Ding Qin already knew in his heart that he must have come to ask for iron. His face sank slightly, "It's so late, if you want me to strike iron, then please go back." ”
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man in the middle directly took out a waist card, "We are the servants of the city lord of First City." came so late, not to ask Ding Gongzi to build weapons, but to ask Gongzi to save people. ”
Saving people? Ding Qin was slightly surprised in his heart. Could it be that they knew He Yan's origins? But He Yan did not show that he knew medical skills except for helping people bandage them once.
Anyway, he didn't want to have anything to do with the official in such an unfamiliar area, and said coldly, "I'm just a blacksmith who doesn't know medical skills, if you want to save people, I hope you will ask Gao Ming to find a famous doctor." ”
After speaking, Ding Qin prepared to close the door.
The servant said, "Ding Gongzi misunderstood." When we talk about saving people, we don't mean curing the sick. It's hard to tell this fact, and I hope that Childe will come with us. ”
Without waiting for Ding Qin to express his position, He Yan had already walked to the door and asked, "What is the situation when you say saving people?"
The servant said, "This is Madame." Actually, it's hard to say it out just by saying it, but if you go to the scene, it's clear at a glance. ”
Ding Qin said, "I can't tell, at least I have to give a rough idea." Otherwise, how would you make me believe you? And, as I said, I don't strike iron. What if you trick me into house arrest and force me to strike iron in the name of saving people? I, a foreigner, have no power to compete with your local city lords. ”
After hearing this, the servant shook his head and waved his hand, "No, no, no, don't misunderstand, we will never do such a thing." Moreover, to tell the truth, our city lord's wife, who was also a member of the Xuantian Empire before, and later married the city lord, counting, everyone is also related to each other, how could they do such a rude thing?"
"Hmph. Ding Qin didn't say anything, just sneered.
The servant still seemed a little embarrassed, and thought for a moment, "That's actually the way it is. Three years ago, the city lord led his troops to crusade against the nearby bandits and won a great victory, but he never thought that one of the bandits would flee and disappear. Later, when the city lord returned to the city, he learned that the leader of the thieves rushed to the city lord's house and poisoned the city lord's third son. ”
"The method he used to enter was extremely cruel, using an iron helmet and putting the head of the third prince into it. Once loaded, all of the traps are locked and cannot be removed. There are eyes and mouths on the helmet, visible and edible, the third son was young at the time, but there was no particularly big impact, but as he grew older and his body developed, the helmet had squeezed the head, and now the third son had an unbearable headache every day, and he was unable to live normally, and he was in pain. ”
When the servant said this, he burst into tears, "Our city lord and wife, in order to remove this helmet, searched for celebrities everywhere, but there were many mechanisms in the helmet, and no one dared to remove it. Today, I heard that there is a master from the Xuantian Empire in Furster City, the city lord and his wife are overjoyed, let us talk to the master overnight to see if we can save the life of the third prince. ”
As he spoke, he motioned for the other two people to step forward, each carrying a lot of things in their hands, judging from the packaging alone, it should not be ordinary. The servant said, "This is what the city lord and his wife mean, if they can save the son, they will give each other a big gift." ”
Ding Qin waved his hand, "That's it." I can't take these things. However, human life is at stake, and it is such a vicious method, I can go with you to see it. He Yan, you can go with you. If it comes to medical matters, you have to come out. ”
He Yan actually showed a little pride on his face, "Of course." I'm willing to do this kind of thing to save people. ”
The servants still wanted to put down the things they brought, but Ding Qin pushed them a few times, but he couldn't change their insistence, so he had to accept them. After a brief preparation, several people took the fat dun and walked towards the city lord's mansion together.
Since this is the center of the city, the distance from the City Lord's Mansion is not far, but it is only two or three miles.
The entire city lord's mansion is not too atmospheric, but the courtyard wall is higher, and the outside is better. After entering the gate, there is first a courtyard with a rockery bamboo forest, and then there is the living area.
The lord and his wife seem to have been waiting at the entrance to the settlement. Seeing Ding Qin and the others stepping forward, he immediately led a group of people to meet him, and his lips trembled with excitement, but he couldn't say anything.
The lord of the castle was probably in his forties, and his face looked very upright, but his face was obviously sad. The city lord's wife is relatively young, she should only be in her thirties and less than forty years old, her face is gentle, her movements are relatively elegant, and there are tears on her face.
Ding Qin said a few words to them, and then walked directly back to see the child. On the way, the city lord's wife has been observing Ding Qin, but sometimes it makes Ding Qin a little uncomfortable.
When she was about to walk to the child's room, the city lord's wife suddenly asked, "This master, are you the son of General Ding?"
When she asked, Ding Qin's head buzzed.
In the Star Empire, how could anyone recognize him?
This sentence made Ding Qin involuntarily stand up and turn to the city lord's wife.
He didn't have any impression of this woman.
But why, would she mention her father?
Ding Qin was stunned for a moment before he said, "How do you know?"
The city lord's wife said, "Then, what should you call Ding, it seems to be Ding Qin." ”
Ding Qin was stunned again!
After arriving in the Star Empire, he never mentioned his name to others. This woman can say it with uncertainty!
Why? Is it because she investigated herself? But from her expression, it doesn't look like it.
In addition to being shocked, Ding Qin's vigilance slowly rose. "How do you know? Who are you?"
The woman smiled bitterly, "When I was in Kaiyuan City, you weren't even ten years old. Twelve years ago, I left Kaiyuan City and came to the Star Empire, ready to make a living by crafting. Later, he met the lord of the city, who was just an ordinary petty officer from a ruined family at that time, and the two fell in love and married him. Maybe you don't remember me. My name is Hua Lin, and I was in Kaiyuan City at that time, and there was a Hua family embroidery shop. ”
Ding Qin searched carefully in his memory, and vaguely remembered that at that time, in the southeast corner of Kaiyuan City, there was indeed a Huajia embroidery shop. The embroidered makeup sold by that family is particularly famous, and it is in short supply in the thirteen towns in the north. Later, I don't know why it was closed.
"I remembered the Hua family embroidery shop. Could it be that you left the door closed?" asked Ding Qin.
Hua Lin said, "That's right. At that time, my parents were seriously ill and died, and I was so grief-stricken that I left that sad place and came here. I didn't expect it to take root here. ”
Ding Qin asked again, "But how do you recognize me? I should have only been seven or eight years old at that time." ”
She smiled bitterly, "Actually, I wanted to be a cultivator since I was a child, but because of my poor qualifications and lack of money at home, I learned embroidery and opened an embroidery shop later." I often go to the Kaiyuan City Spiritual Seminary to watch the children cultivate, and at that time, you were outstanding, of course I knew you. ”
Speaking of the matter in the Kaiyuan City Spiritual Seminary, Ding Qin felt a sour feeling in his heart again. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's take a look at your son first." ”
The city lord's mood at this time was also obviously calmed down a lot, "Since the master and the lady are old acquaintances, then we should treat them well." After seeing the dogs, I will arrange for the two of them to catch up. ”
Ding Qin pushed the door and entered, and saw a skinny man lying on the bed in the room, with two maids serving on either side. Seeing the lord of the city enter, the maid stood one after another and gave way to the place in front of the bed.
The boy on the bed had an iron helmet on his head, and there were indeed a number of mechanisms on it, and they were all locked. This iron is refined cast iron, which cannot be sawed by ordinary saws, and even if it can be sawed, it is difficult for people to bear because many places are now closely connected to the head.
Ding Qin carefully examined for a while and left from the bed. The city lord and his wife immediately stepped forward, "How is it?"
"Let me think again. With that, Ding Qin sat aside.
He wasn't really thinking about it now, but discussing a plan with the bone soul.
Forced demolition does not seem feasible at present, in case there is really a mechanism in it, I am afraid that the lives of the children will not be guaranteed.
Unlocking the mechanism is also not realistic. The formation can be broken because there is a rule. There is no organ. Except for the designer, no one knows how to solve the mechanism.
In this way, only paranormal solutions can be adopted.
However, paranormal solutions also need to be feasible.
In the end, after being silent for a long time, Ding Qin turned to the city lord and Hua Lin, "Please bring me a pen and paper." ”
The city lord and Hua Lin unconsciously had a hint of joy on their faces. But they didn't ask much, and immediately sent someone to bring pen and paper.
Ding Qin wrote down several materials on it, as well as several special utensils. These materials are okay, but the utensils were not common in the Xuanling Empire. Ding Qin didn't have a bottom in his heart, whether he could collect it all.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw this, the city lord immediately said, "Go and prepare! Fortunately, these are ready-made." ”
"It's all ready-made?" Ding Qin was a little puzzled, "That sealing pot is also ready-made?"
Hua Lin immediately understood what Ding Qin meant, "That's right." Dense pans too. In the time of the Xuantian Empire, the sealing pot was rare. But here, because people like to eat blood, there is a special way to cook it. The sealing pan is one of the commonly used objects. ”
Ding Qin suddenly realized. He walked to the bed again, and saw that He Yan was systematically examining the child's body, and couldn't help asking, "How is his condition?" I will remove the helmet for him, it is estimated that it will take several hours, I don't know if I can bear it." ”
He Yan got up, followed Ding Qin's example, first wrote a list, and then replied, "According to my prescription, grab the medicinal herbs and take them before you release them." First, it can relieve the stagnant qi in his current body, and secondly, it can also play a calming role. ”
Ding Qin couldn't help but have a bottom in his heart. It didn't take long for the first wave of people to return, "City Lord, Madam, the things that the master wants are ready." ”
