Chapter Seventy-Six: The Visitation
Shi Dafeng went to eat his mutton soup pot, and only Yan Liqiang went back to the rented courtyard first.
When he saw Yan Dechang, Yan Liqiang hurriedly walked up and patted the snowflakes on Yan Dechang's cloak, "Dad, why are you here?"
Yan Dechang looked at Yan Liqiang carefully from head to toe, and a smile appeared on his face, "I just went to Huanglong County yesterday to deliver a batch of goods, thinking that it is a little cold these days, and Huanglong County is also a little closer to Pingxi City, so I came to see you and send you some clothes, I found it according to the address you wrote in your letter to home last time, the third courtyard in Qingniu Lane, Sanyuan Street, turned left, I didn't expect to really find it, you will live here!"
"Well, I'll live here, Dad, I'll get something, let's go in and say!" Yan Liqiang took off the burden that Yan Dechang was carrying, then took out the key, opened the door of the house, and invited Yan Dechang in.
The yard of this small courtyard where Yan Liqiang lives is not big, only forty or fifty square meters, there is a grape trellis in the yard, a well, and a flower bed, the flower bed is planted with some flowers and plants, under the grape trellis, there is a relatively spacious place where you can practice martial arts, although the yard is now covered with a layer of snow, but you can still see that the whole yard is neat and clean.
Yan Dechang, who walked in, looked at the courtyard and nodded secretly, seeing that Yan Liqiang could take good care of himself, he also let go of most of his heart, "Are you living alone here?"
"Well, I live alone, and I have a friend who lives next door, and I can hear it when I shout!"
"Martial arts training is also in this courtyard!"
"Martial arts practice is mainly in the basement, and sometimes it is too inconvenient to move too much in the courtyard!" Yan Liqiang took Yan Dechang to the hall, put down Yan Dechang's luggage, and then scratched his head embarrassedly, "I usually don't make a fire to cook here, and I don't have boiling water, you sit and wait a while, I'll go outside and get a pot of boiling water to make you some tea!"
"No need, no need, I'm just here to see, you don't have to greet me, your cultivation of spear skills hasn't fallen, right?"
"It's not down, those things are in the basement below, Dad, do you want to go and see it!"
"Okay, go and see where you usually cultivate!" Yan Dechang just wanted to sit down, but when he heard Yan Liqiang say this, he stood up again.
The entrance to the basement was under the stairs of the upper stairs of this hall, and there was a door, and Yan Liqiang took Yan Dechang to the basement below.
The basement is about the same size as the courtyard above, the basement is surrounded by rough bluestone, more than four meters high, although it is underground, but there are lighting and ventilation windows on both sides of the basement, and the light on the ground can penetrate some during the day, and it is not too dark, but it needs to be lit at night.
On the side of the basement against the wall, there is a wooden frame, under which some copper coins are hung with ropes, and next to the wooden frame, there is a spear more than three meters long, made entirely of pig iron.
Right next to this wooden frame, there were several iron locks for hard work, and the weight of the iron locks was twenty or thirty kilograms for the lightest one, and more than two hundred kilograms for the heaviest one.
After Yan Dechang came in, his eyes lit up when he saw these things, he walked to the wooden frame, picked up the iron gun, put it in his hand and weighed it, the iron gun weighed at least more than forty kilograms, and then turned his head and asked Yan Liqiang, "Why are you training with an iron gun here, this iron gun has no elasticity and is so heavy, can it work?"
"This iron gun is what you want, the teacher of the Guoshu Museum said that you can use it to practice the basic skills of gunmanship!" Yan Liqiang said, took the iron gun from Yan Dechang's hand, and then squatted down, put on a posture, covered the iron gun with one hand, gradually flattened the iron gun, and turned it into a straight line with the arm, "This is the iron gun pile taught by the teacher, I have been practicing this ...... these days"
With such a heavy iron spear, the root of the iron spear held in one hand was flat and did not move at all, you can imagine how terrifying the power in Yan Liqiang's hand was.
"Not bad, not bad!" Yan Dechang nodded with satisfaction, and tried the iron locks again, but Yan Dechang's current body strength can only pick up the two iron locks that are small, more than 100 kilograms, he tried it, and found that he couldn't pick it up, and finally shook his head and laughed, "Old, old......"
"Your injuries are just right, so don't push too hard!"
"Can you dance with the heaviest iron lock?" asked Yan Dechang curiously.
Yan Liqiang put down the iron gun, walked to the largest two hundred kilograms of iron lock, just with one hand, without much force, he took the iron lock in his hand, and then moved his arm, the iron lock flew around him, Yan Liqiang's two hands were exchanged, and an iron lock was flipped around him, flying like a butterfly, and the whirring wind that the iron lock danced directly blew on Yan Dechang's face next to him.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yan Dechang wouldn't have believed that Yan Liqiang's strength had reached this point, it was a two-hundred-kilogram iron lock, not a twenty-kilogram iron lock, even if he wasn't a samurai, Yan Dechang also understood that the strength of his son was too amazing, Yan Liqiang was only fourteen years old this year, he didn't know how Yan Liqiang's strength was trained, and he remembered that Yan Liqiang's strength didn't seem to be so exaggerated before.
After dancing for a full minute, Yan Liqiang stopped suddenly, and gently put the iron lock on the ground, without making a sound at all, but his face was slightly red, but his breathing was still very steady.
"Okay, good, good ......" Yan Dechang was so excited that he said three good words in a row, "You came to this National Art Museum, and you really increased your ability......
The strength and ability of this body basically come from the great changes brought by the Yijin Washing Pulp Sutra to his body, especially the increase in physical strength and the improvement of all aspects of quality.
But there was no way to say these words to Yan Dechang, hearing his father's praise, Yan Liqiang just smiled and nodded, "Dad, what you said is that I did learn a lot when I came to the Guoshu Museum, and the teachers of the Guoshu Museum are also very good!"
"I'm relieved to see you like this, let's go up......" Yan Dechang let out a long sigh of relief.
......
Yan Dechang only stayed here for less than an hour in total, he looked at the small courtyard where Yan Liqiang lived, and then asked about the details of Yan Liqiang's usual life, he left the winter clothes and pants brought to Yan Liqiang, and then left twenty taels of silver for Yan Liqiang, said a few words about the blacksmith shop, and left, and resolutely did not give Yan Liqiang away.
Yan Liqiang came to the county for more than two months, Yan Liqiang's family blacksmith shop business is also slowly on the track, although Yan's sword can't make any magic weapons, but fortunately, the quality is excellent, the price is fair, Yan's sword brand, also basically opened in Qinghe County, Yan Dechang every day in the blacksmith shop to check the quality of those swords, Yan's family in Liuhe Town, there is land, there are workshops, there are shops, and blacksmith shops, slowly, there is a different atmosphere.
It's just that what Yan Liqiang didn't expect was that the Gurkha scimitar he carefully made, because of its strange shape like a dog's leg, in the past two months, although there was a lot of business in the blacksmith shop, it was not interested, and it was not sold much.
Qian Su, who was still in the craftsman battalion, knew that it was something designed by Yan Liqiang after seeing the Gurkha scimitar, so he was interested in it, and asked for a handful to go back to play a few days ago, and just two days ago, Qian Su sent a message that the Yan family's blacksmith shop would send a hundred "Yan's scimitars" (Yan Liqiang's name for the Gurkha scimitar) went to the craftsman battalion in Huanglong County, saying that the scimitar he had before was seen by an officer who came to the craftsman battalion to order a spear, and the officer himself used a knife, and found that the scimitar that Qian Su took away was strange in shape, and he was very interested, so he took Qian Su's scimitar to play for a few days, but he didn't expect that a few days later, the officer came to Qian Su, but he directly wanted to order a hundred "Yan's scimitars", saying that he would take it away and give it away......
Faced with this "big business" that fell all of a sudden, Yan Dechang was overjoyed, and personally went out and sent the hundred scimitars to Huanglong County, because some wanted Yan Liqiang, so he came to Pingxi City to see how Yan Liqiang was doing in Pingxi City......
......
After sending Yan Dechang away in a somewhat complicated mood, Yan Liqiang also cleaned up his mood, changed his clothes, and went to the Overseer's Mansion......
