Chapter 4 Wang Fugui
Even after the tragic price last time, Li Brahma still didn't believe it, and every day he would repeatedly try to manipulate the aura in the dantian.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, every time Li Brahma would be inexplicably hot and dry, and he slowly calmed down after cutting off the communication with that aura.
Li Brahma didn't know what the reason for this strange thing was, and if he thought about it carefully, it was most likely related to that mysterious cave. That trace of aura is the foundation of cultivation, and if you can't communicate with that trace of aura, Li Brahma can't perform spells at all, and now he is just an ordinary person.
Li Brahma desperately wanted to communicate with that aura, he fainted again and again, but it was not without benefits, at least Li Brahma's body had been scorched again and again, and the hardness had increased a lot compared to before, and now it was estimated that it was already the strength of the nine turns of Xuangong and the three turns.
Li Brahma was still wearing the blue coarse cloth patch clothes, and he couldn't open the storage ring on his body without aura. He sat lazily in the doorway, watching the people walk past him.
This is the fifth day he has come to Wangjia Village, the old man's surname is Wang Fugui, and more than half of the entire village is surnamed Wang.
Wang Fugui is the only blacksmith in the village, who is already over 70 years old but has no children and no daughters. But he has a kind personality and rarely quarrels with the people in the village, plus there is something to build a sickle or something in the village, and he has to find Wang Fugui, so he is also a person respected by everyone in the village.
And Li Brahma is different, originally of unknown origin, until he set fire to the straw of the aunt next door not long ago. It was the winter forage that Aunt Wang had prepared for his cattle, and it turned into ashes in a fire.
If it weren't for Wang Fugui's good words and saying that he gave people dozens of dollars, it is estimated that they would even have the heart to kill Li Brahma. But Li Brahma can't be blamed for this matter, because the fire was not lit by Li Brahma, after all, he is not a fool, why would he order other people's straw for no reason.
That day, Li Brahma specially found a hidden place where no one was around, just to prevent Wang Fugui from seeing that he was unconscious and worried, and this place was in the straw pile of Aunt Wang's house. Sure enough, Li Brahma was in a coma again, and the hot body temperature actually ignited the pile of straw, which Li Brahma didn't expect.
Li Brahma adjusted his posture and turned into squatting on the threshold, watching Wang Fugui walk back with the basket on his back, he immediately got up and ran over, helping him change the basket behind him to his shoulder.
"No, this thing doesn't sink. Wang Fugui grabbed the strap and didn't let Li Brahma take it.
"It's okay grandpa, I'll help you carry it. In the end, Wang Fugui could not resist Li Brahma and handed him the back basket, which was filled with pieces of reddish-brown iron ore.
This kind of iron ore called hematite is the worst kind of ore, with many impurities and low iron content. Blacksmith shops generally don't use this kind of ore, but Wang Fugui only makes iron to make agricultural tools, and there happens to be such an iron ore producing area on the mountain.
"Grandpa, next time you want to go, you must call me, the two of us can fight a lot back and forth. Li Brahma walked side by side with the old man towards the hut.
"I'll talk about it when you're well, but you can't get tired. The old man turned his back to his hands and followed Li Brahma side, he had no children and no daughters in his life, and he didn't expect that someone would be willing to call him grandpa.
Li Brahma threw the piece of iron ore into the furnace and began to calcinate and extract the molten pig iron, which was originally done by Wang Fugui himself, but now with Li Brahma he is also much more leisurely. Lao Wang sat on a small bamboo chair, smoking a dry cigarette, and a puff of smoke was swirling in front of him.
"Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, and this iron is also skillful. Prospecting, smelting, tapping, furnace reheating, refining, tapping, forging are indispensable, especially forging, when it is light and when it is heavy, which is particular. "Wang Fugui has been working on iron all his life, and when it comes to striking iron, he is naturally the truth.
Li Brahma pulled the bellows with a whirl, looking at the fire intently, he took the initiative to ask to learn to strike iron with the old man, perhaps because he saw that he had brought a lot of trouble to the old man, and wanted to help the old man as much as he could.
"Okay, now stop the fire, wait until the molten pig iron has cooled down, and then return to the furnace to heat it again, so that the quality of the iron is the best. The old man knocked the pipe in his hand, got up and took Li Brahma back to the house.
The old man took out a brand new dress from the closet, the clothes were not the robes worn by the rich, but the short clothes of ordinary crop men, "This is what I brought to you when I asked Uncle Zhang next door to go to the town, try it on as soon as possible to see if it fits." ”
Li Brahma took the clothes handed by the old man, although the fabric was not a high-grade silk, it was much better than the one he was wearing. How could Li Brahma not know how frugal the old man was, and he usually couldn't make a few bucks, and he could use a sickle for a few years.
Now that he had spent money on a new set of clothes for a person he had known for less than five days, Li Brahma glanced up at the old man's shabby clothes, which were covered with tiny holes that had been burned by Mars. Knees, cuffs are patched with several large patches.
"Grandpa, I can just wear what I have, let's keep this one for grandpa. "How can Li Brahma ask for it, it has been postponed.
"Oh, how old is grandpa, you wear it, you're young and it's time to dress up. Li Brahma couldn't resist the old man, so he had to accept it.
"Put it on and let grandpa see if it fits. Li Brahma had no choice but to change into that shirt.
Although Li Brahma is young, due to his perennial tempering of his body, he is now tall and strong, and his appearance is also delicate and heroic.
The old man tidied up Li Brahma's clothes and said, "Well, it fits quite well, and it looks handsome, but I suffered in the old man's house." ”
"Grandpa, if you hadn't saved my life, I might have died somewhere. ”
"Hey, that's serious, you are a nobleman, naturally there will be no accidents, this is the will of God. ”
I don't know why, the old man unusually believes in the will of heaven, perhaps to find a reassuring sustenance for his years of hard life.
"Grandpa, when I get better, I will definitely let you live a good life. ”
The old man just lowered his head and smiled in the face of Li Brahma's heartfelt words. He knew that Li Brahma's identity must not be simple, but saving him was not a plan to repay him.
