The process of casting a sword is much more complicated than ordinary ironware, Wang Blacksmith said that the sword is the foundation of a soldier's life, it is cast, at least it must be usable, toughness is the most basic requirement, if it is cut and broken, it is harmful to people's lives.

In the past few days, Yang Su has been learning to forge swords, from the selection of materials to the cutting of weapons, Wang Blacksmith taught him all the tricks, and a few days later, Yang Su made a sword that can really be used.

Blacksmith Wang was very satisfied with it, and said with a smile: "Although it is just a very ordinary sword, but it has both firmness and toughness, you can go and give it to Li Wuyi tomorrow." ”

The next day, when Yang Su went out, the old blacksmith gave him some silver money, saying that when he passed through the East Market, he would buy some gadgets he liked by the way. Li Wuyi lives in a small house in the south of Dongshi, the location is very remote, and the furnishings in the house are also very simple, but the whole house is clean.

Li Wuyi was not at home, and his mother said that he went to the barracks early in the morning and was expected to be back soon.

She wiped away her tears and said, "At this time, there is also an annual leave in the camp, but this child likes to embarrass himself, and volunteers to stay in the camp every year. ”

Yang Su had no choice but to hand over the iron sword to his mother, and he took out another hundred yuan, saying that it was an extra deposit. This pair of orphans and widows is really pitiful.

The East Market is very lively, the end of the year is the season of consumption, the cold wind blows, Yang Su shivered, he decided to buy a winter coat for Master Wang, he is older, he must be more afraid of the cold.

The winter clothes shop is full of all kinds of styles, and the owner is a fine middle-aged man, as soon as Yang Sugang enters the door, he is greeted with a smiling face.

"This year's popular green wolf style is wild, but also cold. The shopkeeper gushed introducing, holding a collar of blue-gray in his hand.

"How much?"

The shopkeeper was about to say that his son ran out from behind the curtain, snatched the green wolf coat, and said angrily: "Dad, why did we sell our clothes to this little blacksmith?"

Yang Su knows this fat boy, he loves to doze off in the school, and he doesn't suffer from Mr.'s board, every time after school, this fat boy will follow those evil young people of the Haoqiang family, and he suffers a lot from them.

The shopkeeper was a little anxious, chasing his son around, running and scolding.

"My stupid son, what nonsense are you talking about? Lao Tzu doesn't do business, do you drink the northwest wind?"

The fat boy took the clothes and ran out of the door, and the shopkeeper had to find another one and hand it over to Yang Su.

"Two hundred words. ”

Yang Su gave the money, went out of the store, and happened to meet the fat boy in the winter clothes shop again on the street corner. The fat boy stared at him viciously, and behind him stood a crowd of ill-intentioned teenagers.

The little fat man shouted, and several teenagers surrounded him, these people were thin and thin, and they often practiced martial arts. Yang Su hugged his green wolf clothes tightly, these people came up with a burst of punches and kicks, where could he withstand it, lying on the ground and unable to get up.

"Do you want to abolish him?" asked a scar-faced, ruthless teenager to the fat boy.

The little fat man was a little scared, he bribed these people, but he wanted to teach the little blacksmith a hard lesson, he hated and jealous this man, but never thought of killing him. He didn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone a human.

"Stop. ”

A teenager's voice came from the street, and Yang Su remembered that it was Li Wuyi's voice. His voice was calm, but there was a fierceness, and the group of teenagers unconsciously stopped their hands and looked at the person on the street.

There was a murderous aura in the air, and the little fat man saw this situation and wanted to slip away, but was held down by the scar boy.

"Seven mink coats, guaranteed to be delivered to the house tomorrow. The little fat man was about to cry in fright, so the scar boy let go and let him go.

Li Wuyi had a sword in his hand, and the young man with the scar also pulled out the long sword on his waist to meet him, they were all soldiers in the young army, and they had long been out of contact with each other.

The two swords collided, the calcium carbide fire, the two held each other for a while, Li Wuyi had the upper hand, and the scar boy was a little anxious, so he said, "Let's go together." ”

These people are all his sworn friends, and they usually fool around together, so they are naturally not far behind at this time, and they all pulled out the swords in their hands and surrounded Li Wuyi in the middle.

The scarred boy smiled evilly.

"Li Wuyi, you usually have no one in your eyes, and today is your death. ”

"Really?" Li Wuyi glanced at everyone, and with a sonorous sound, he pulled out another sword, there are not many people in the army who can use two-handed swords, which makes the young people a little surprised.

"Hmph, pretend to scare people. ”

Everyone rushed up, Li Wuyi's double swords attacked and defended, it was strange and changeable, unpredictable and unpredictable, and his two-handed swords had already made it look like. However, after all, there were many opponents, and they were all well-trained veterans, so when they saw that the strong attack could not work, they turned to attack and harass, consuming Li Wuyi's physical strength.

The battle soon alarmed the guards patrolling the city, and the general, who led the group, was a seasoned man, who swung his whip and struck the young men fiercely, and shouted, "Who will strike first?"

The teenagers were silent.

"In that case, it will be easy to do, and everyone will be fined three months. ”

The scar boy and his party dispersed silently, and the general who patrolled the city also left with the team, he looked back at Li Wuyi meaningfully, as if he had something to say, but he still didn't say it.

The street corner was empty again, and only the two teenagers in the cold wind remained.

Yang Su got up from the ground, his injuries were not too serious, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for saving me. ”

Li Wuyi just looked at the two swords in his hand, the blades were already full of gaps, and he couldn't use them anymore, which made him a little sad.

"Your sword is actually quite good, if it was another family's craftsmanship, it would have broken long ago. He looked at Yang Su with some embarrassment, "Can you make me another one, and the money for forging the sword will be given when I send it." ”

Yang Su smiled and said, "You saved me, I'll give you a sword." ”

Li Wuyi breathed a sigh of relief, his life was already poor, and now he was fined for three months, where can he get the money to forge a sword. The two of them talked speculatively, sat on the stone steps on the corner of the street, and chatted.

"By the way, how did you mess with them?"

Yang Su told him about sending swords to buy clothes, and the fat boy in the winter clothes shop buying murderous beatings, Li Wuyi listened to it, and said angrily: "When I become a general in the future, I will rectify military discipline so that they don't dare to bully civilians anymore." ”

"Then why didn't you make it clear to the general just now? If the general found out, he would punish them severely, right?"

"You don't understand the things in the army, in this cloud city, all kinds of relationships are very complicated, if you say it, it will add trouble to yourself. ”

Yang Su felt a little incredible, he didn't understand what a complicated relationship was, nor did he understand what kind of trouble it could bring by telling the truth. He found that Li Wuyi was not as simple as it seemed.

Li Wuyi asked again, "You will be a good swordsmith in the future, right?"

"Master won't let me be a swordsmith, he wants me to study. ”

"What's so good about studying? Our general said that useless is a scholar, and a good man should gallop on the battlefield. ”

"Actually, it's good to read, read and hyphenation, so that you can understand everything. ”

"I don't need to read and write, as long as I am good at martial arts, I can kill more enemies, I can be promoted if I have made military achievements, and I will always be a general, and then no one will dare to look down on me, and my mother can live a good life. ”

Yang Su suddenly felt a little touched, he was despised since he was a child, but he never thought of fighting against fate, he just kept going with the flow. He survived with great difficulty, never had any lofty ideals, but constantly adapted to the changing situation. At this time, he was completely infected by the pride of the young man in front of him, and he was a little carried away.

"If you become a general, I will forge you the best sword in the world. ”

"Didn't your master let you become a swordsmith?"

"I can beg him to teach me, and then make one for you, and I have thought of the inscription on the sword - do the way of heaven. ”

Only a really good sword will be engraved with an inscription, Li Wuyi's eyes are shining, he only heard that the sword of the marshal has an inscription, and the general's is not there.

"What does it mean to walk in the Heavenly Way?"

"It's about being in control of your destiny. ”

After listening to this, Li Wuyi smiled: "You scholars know a lot, I like this name very much." ”

When Yang Su returned to the blacksmith shop, it was already dusk, and when Blacksmith Wang asked him why he had been delayed for so long, he told the truth.

Blacksmith Wang casually flipped through the green wolf clothes that Yang Su bought for him, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, what is popular now is mink fur clothing, the taste of green wolf's skin is too strong, and everyone doesn't like it." He gave Yang Su medicine for the injury, and then said, "Have you forgotten? Being the best sword in the world will bring trouble to yourself." ”

"But I have promised to be unclothed. ”

"Okay, my husband wants a promise, and I'll teach you tomorrow. ”
