On the second day, in the midst of a rooster's crow, Ming Tie woke up.

The familiar roof greets you.

"How did I get back. ”

Ming Tie lifted the blanket covering him, and immediately jumped up, and here he confirmed the scene in front of him, it was a simple room, with yellowed walls, and an old wooden table, all of which showed that he was in his own room.

"Last night ......"

He paused suddenly, looked at his body, there was no injury at all, patted his chest, it was just as usual, if it weren't for the memory of yesterday was so clear, he would even think that those things were a dream he had.

"Maybe it wasn't that serious in the first place, maybe it was a little painful at the time."

Ming Tie could only think like this, after all, in his cognition, how good it was to break bones overnight.

Then I remembered that the fortune teller was here, and last night was too thrilling, and if it weren't for the appearance of the fortune teller, he wouldn't know where he was now.

"I remember he knocked out two of them, and it was the fortune teller who sent me back..... I just hope that my father doesn't know. ”

Ming Tie thought about the time last night again, it is estimated that his father and they are also asleep, I don't know such a thing, it was the fortune teller who sent himself to this house, if not, the first thing he saw when he woke up now was not the roof, but the anxious sister.

Then thinking of the fortune teller's strange methods, Ming Tie was also very surprised, racked his brains for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason, and was even startled by the random conjecture in his heart, he thought the old man was a ghost.

After a while, I calmed down, stopped thinking about those things I didn't understand, and at the same time told myself that I was just an ordinary person, and it was better not to think too much, the past was in the past, and it was better to think more about the future.

Thinking like this, I also calmed down, and thought:

"First of all, I have to thank him, buy some meat, and send it to him, after all, he is a benefactor who saves his life, and it is okay to spend more money. Ming Tie thought in his heart, and wiped his hand into the hidden pocket on his chest, and then he was stunned for an instant, leaving everything behind him, because now there was a very terrible thing in front of his eyes.

Ming Tie grimaced, and slowly took out his hand, it was empty, where was the money.

"Ah?!! where's my money!!"

Ming Tie screamed, his face suddenly panicked, that's thirty copper coins, you must know that usually his blacksmith shop will not be patronized, and it will be the day when the desert will come to buy knives, and the people in the town only come out of the desert once in half a month, that is to say, his thirty copper coins are basically half a month's income, and that still includes the money to buy iron ore.

This is a huge amount of money for Ming Tie, you must know that five copper coins can be sold for thirty catties of grain, which is enough for his family to eat for half a month, although he also saves some money on weekdays, and he will not be so poor that he has no money, but for no reason there are no thirty copper coins, that kind of heartache feeling, it is almost to suffocate him, this is all earned by his hard work in the iron for half a month, just with the calluses in the palm of his hand, the sweat on his body, little by little.

What a fortune teller, what strange means, he was immediately thrown out of his mind, and now he only has heartache, this is his hard-earned money.

"Ah, my money!!"

He was extremely distressed for a while, and he began to think about it, and even felt that it was his own delusion, and groped a few times in the hidden pocket on the chest of his clothes, but the emptiness he felt only made him more uncomfortable, and even wanted to cry a little.

In the end, I really couldn't think of anything, and even thought that it was the old man who told fortunes, saying that he took it while he was asleep.

However, as soon as this idea came up, it was instantly denied by himself, this possibility is too small, and the old man didn't know that Ming Tie was carrying silver taels.

And even if the old man took away what he could do, after all, someone else saved his life, in fact, if that's the case, it's okay, anyway, this money is used to buy his own life, his own life is more than this money, what he is most afraid of is that it will fall and let others pick it up, which is what he hurts the most.

In the end, no matter how I thought about it, there was no result, my face showed a very decadent appearance, my body sat weakly on the edge of the bed, my head shook weakly, and I only sighed silently in my mouth.

It wasn't long before a crisp shout rang out from outside the house, followed by a knock on the door.

"Brother Tie!!Brother Tie!!What's wrong?"

Hearing this voice, the bit of decadence on Ming Tie's face was immediately put away, and he barely smiled a little, this is his sister.

"It's better to wait, go to that place and take a look, it should have been when I was beaten, I fell out, I hope I can find a little. He muttered to himself and got up and opened the door.

"Come on, don't worry, the door will be broken by you. ”

And Ming Tie walked over, only to find that the latch behind the door was not bolted at all, and he pulled the door open at will.

What appeared in front of her was a girl, her appearance was quite immature, mostly twelve or thirteen years old, her face was delicate, and she was obviously a beautiful embryo, and she was looking at Ming Tie with a smile at this time.

"Brother Tie, I heard you screaming just now, is something wrong, my sister can help you. ”

Looking at the girl in front of him, Ming Tie also temporarily forgot about the loss of money, this girl has no name, only a small name Qiao'er, she grew up with him since she was a child, she was originally an orphan, I heard that she was picked up by Ming Lan who happened to be passing home in the temple in the center of a town more than ten years ago, saying that she wanted to be his Ming Tie's child daughter-in-law, and more than ten years have passed.

And Ming Tie said now, thinking that what kind of child daughter-in-law is just a joke, and has always treated her as her own sister, usually if there are any good things, she usually gives her sister first, which is very caring.

Seeing such a beautiful sister, Ming Tie was also quite proud, and said with a smile:

"Your eldest brother, I will have something to do, let's take care of my father, look at the current hour, I also have to go to forge the knife, otherwise it will be too late. ”

He stretched out his rough hand and rubbed it twice on the girl's head, messing up her neatly combed short hair.

"Don't touch my head, it's not tall!!" the girl pursed her mouth, shook Mingtie's hand down, and ran towards the side room.

From time to time, he looked back at Ming Tie sticking out his tongue, which made Ming Tie smile slightly, and watched her walk into his father's room, he thought about what happened last night, but he didn't want to ask his sister what he thought, but he didn't want her to know half a point.

Ming Tie looked up at the sun that had been slanted up for three points, he knew that he should go, he had to forge a knife every day, and only on the day of the desert did he have goods to sell, he Ming Tie was not a wealthy family, he basically made a living by striking iron, his father had inconvenient legs and feet, and now he basically relied on him to feed the whole family.

And in the final analysis, where will there be any wealthy people in this Changfeng Town, those people who go out of the wilderness are not all out of the wilderness to resist the mission of feeding their families, dangers in the wilderness are everywhere, and compared to those who go out of the wilderness, he Mingtie is nothing.

This town is the farthest and poorest town from the mulberry leaf city, just saying that he Mingtie wants to buy iron ore has to go to the far mulberry leaf city to have, and he has to go with those people who have returned from the wilderness, and can only reach it through several small towns, among which the road fee is to spend a lot, and those who go out of the wilderness go to the city to buy some useful materials on the wild beasts, most of them are also cheap, and basically they can't make much, plus buy weapons, buy drugs and other things, almost enough to feed a family.

There are still some high-priced beast materials in the Great Wilderness, but all of them are difficult to deal with, where can the people in his small town deal with, so this vicious circle has always existed, but people accept it, so the people in these places are very simple.

While thinking about the place where he dropped the silver taels, he looked at the road and looked carefully, and found nothing along the way, and after half a moment, Ming Tie arrived at the place where the incident happened last night, and looked carefully, but still found nothing.

"Hey, is that really the case, if it really fell here, it would have been picked up a long time ago, where would it be left for me? ”

"Half a month's work was wasted, I could have been generous this month and bought some meat to eat, but it turned out that I had to be more strapped for money, and then I had to buy meat for the fortune teller, alas, ...... ”

Ming Tie sighed, and still went to the blacksmith shop, although the pain was incomparable, but the business still had to continue, he had to start forging iron knives.
