Chapter 460: You and I Are Mortals

Zhang San is about forty years old, which is considered middle-aged in ancient times, but Zhang San is in good health, very strong, with wide and powerful palms, full of calluses, and strong arm muscles. Zhang San, the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun and Pavilion, is also very dedicated, and after meeting Li Chong, he began to direct his apprentices to build an oven in the backyard and assemble the bellows, which seems to have reached an orderly level.

The backyard was dusty, Li Chong was not too dirty, sitting on the stone under the courtyard wall to watch Zhang San with a few apprentices busy work, Xiang Qingqiu also followed Li Chong hard, fortunately there was a bush of trees in front of him to cover it, otherwise the smoke and dust would be even greater.

After a while, Zhang San came to Li Chong's side with some restraint, nodded and said, "Li Gongzi, we have already asked the apprentices to build a furnace, do you have any other orders?" ”

Li Chong also nodded and replied: "I don't know anything about building weapons, you can do it yourself." ”

Zhang San looked at Xiang Qingqiu, who was dressed luxuriously and had a silver dragon sword at his waist, and said with some embarrassment: "Li Gongzi, we have to say it again, although our old Zhang can build weapons, but he is not...... A master like a general can make a kitchen knife or something. If our Lao Zhang doesn't make some effort, we will have brute force, but if Li Gongzi is not satisfied, our Lao Zhang can't afford it. ”

"Hehe......" Li Zhong chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you just follow this flying knife, and it can be used as an ordinary knife." ”

Zhang San cautiously took the flying knife, put it in his hand and observed it for a while, and then beat it for a long time, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Li Gongzi, don't worry, I can build it." ”

Li Chongdao: "This is originally the most ordinary knife. ”

Zhang San looked at Qingqiu again, and stopped talking, Li Chong smiled when he saw this: "Say whatever you want." ”

Zhang San asked in a low voice: "Li Gongzi, you are martial arts masters, right?" ”

Li Chong asked rhetorically: "I can be regarded as a martial arts master, but why don't you guess that I am a scholar?" ”

Zhang San chatted with Li Chong for a long time, and found that Li Chong was very approachable, and his speech was not so restrained, and said with a smile: "I see that the son has no fan in his hand and no books, so you must not be a scholar, and if you dare to wear a sword if you are not a scholar, then you can only be a martial arts master." ”

Li Chongyi rolled his eyes: "Lao Zhang, you underestimate me too much, I have also read books." ”

Zhang San glanced back at the apprentices, and asked with a glint in his eyes: "Master Li, can you open the eyes of our old Zhang Lu, who have seen a lot, and the martial arts master has only heard of it." ”

Li Chong understood Zhang San's mentality very, very well, and he was the same back then, full of heroic dreams, and said with a smile: "That's okay, you give me the fire tongs." ”

The fire tongs sledgehammer is the otaku's keyboard and mouse, almost never leaving his body, Zhang San casually pulled out the tongs from the back waist, wiped it twice with the placket of his clothes, and then handed it to Li Chong. Li Chong turned the tongs, pinched the tongs with three fingers of his thumb and index finger and middle finger, and bent the tongs thicker than his thumb into ninety degrees with a slight break.

Li Chong looked at Zhang San with a smile, and he didn't help straighten the tongs, and he didn't need his help, it would be a shame for the blacksmith to rely on others to help him repair the tongs.

Zhang San was shocked for a long time and exclaimed: "Good girl, it would be nice if I had so much strength." Li Zhong smiled and said nothing, Zhang San continued: "The martial arts master is really powerful, it is estimated that he can earn at least ten taels of silver a year, right?" It's no wonder that a few boys in my hometown village dance knives and guns all day long, what kind of dart master do they want to be......"

Xiang Qingqiu listened to the funny, ten taels of silver, and Zhang San was just that.

Li Chong empathized with Zhang San's dream, and how could the people's dreams be understood by Xiang Qingqiu.

Speaking of the dart master, Zhang San glanced at Li Chong very enviously and asked: "Li Gongzi, you must be a big man who is more powerful than the dart master, Xu Zhu, who patrols the streets, doesn't dare to provoke you, and tells us Lao Zhang several times, tell me to be honest, don't mess with you." ”

Li nodded and said: "My martial arts should be better than that of the dart master, but I am not a big person, I am just a mortal among all living beings, and I also have my own troubles and sorrows." ”

Zhang San's eyes widened and asked, "Do you also have times when you are worried?" ”

Li Zhong smiled: "Why don't I have any worries? Let's put it this way, Lao Zhang, what is your ideal? ”

"Ideal!" Zhang San scratched his head and stumbled and said, "The ideal is the thought...... My idea is to earn a few more taels of silver, make a new set of clothes for my daughter-in-law and girl during the New Year, and save some dowry for the girl, so that when he gets married, he will be beautiful, but his mother-in-law family will look down on him...... The old man in the family is also old, and his legs and feet are not good, so he bought a donkey for the old man to ride, the horse is too expensive, we dare not think about it. ”

After listening to this, Li Zhong pondered for a moment, lit a cigarette for himself, and said slowly: "Your wish is to earn a few more taels of silver, and then surprise your family, right?" Although it is difficult for you to earn a few taels of silver, you can see your parents, wife and children every day, and life can be regarded as harmonious and beautiful, right? ”

Zhang San nodded, and his body radiated a happy light.

Li took a heavy puff of cigarette and continued: "But I am just the opposite of you, it is easy for me to earn a few taels of silver, but it is very difficult to live with my family and He Meimei, and I may even pay the price of my life, do you say that we are both the same?" ”

Zhang San couldn't help but nod and said, "That's right, I've heard that you martial arts people fight and kill all day long, even what is that called...... After the golden basin or something, there are always people looking for revenge and making trouble, I am afraid that even their wives and children will be frightened all day long, and some people don't even dare to marry their mothers-in-law. ”

Li Zhong sighed: "So you and I are mortals, you don't need to envy me, and I don't have to envy you." ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "That's what I said, but our old Zhang still wants to learn martial arts and earn silver." ”

Li Zhong smiled: "That's natural, people want to become stronger, to be able to control their own destiny, the emperor will be the prime minister, and the peddlers and pawns will be like this." ”

Xiang Qingqiu finally interjected: "Can people control their own destiny? Pomban? Waves rolling over the clouds? When today's sub? ”

Li Chong said leisurely: "If a person can control his own destiny, then this person is a god." ”

Xiang Qingqiu nodded thoughtfully, a flock of geese flew in the sky, from north to south, and the loud sound of geese resounded in the sky, and the aftermath was endless.

…………

After smoking a cigarette, Li Chong broke the silence: "Brother Xiang, if you and your sister-in-law have something to do, you don't have to ......"

Xiang Qingqiu smiled: "Is this an eviction order?" ”

Li Chong was stunned and said, "Of course not. ”

Xiang Qingqiu sighed: "Sister Shang and I really have something important to do, that is, to eradicate the enemy of Pang Ban, but it's really funny to say, not to mention eradicating Pang Ban, we are lucky not to be eradicated by Pang Ban, just like me and Sister Shang, if it weren't for the help of the city lord, we would have died a long time ago." Among the eight major factions, our scholarly family is the lowest, followed by the Bodhi Yuan to which the emerald sleeves and double light Yunqing belong, and Fang Yeyu also found someone to choose us as well, so Sister Shang and I followed the city lord You are actually for self-protection, and you are afraid of dying.
