Chapter 14 Mankind repeats the same tragedy all the time
The rain kept falling, and the endless water was overwhelming, and in the rain, you couldn't even see anything half a meter away, and it was a problem to even open your eyes. This is the winter rainstorm period peculiar to hell, which takes about a dozen days before the winter begins. Temperatures drop suddenly, and everything transitions from bountiful to gloomy during heavy rains. The animals all hid in their burrows, and most of the plants were bare trunks, and their leaves had long since been broken in the mud by the heavy rain.
"It's been a bit idle lately. Coco cowered limply in one corner of the couch, while Doudou was still sleeping in his exclusive place.
"Sister Coco, the recent turnover is so small, there are no customers at all, even if one or two come, they will come in to hide from the rain and have no spending power at all, if it goes on like this, I will drink the northwest wind this month. As a waitress and cashier in the store, Xiaomei is undoubtedly very qualified, and his wandering life has turned him into a shrewd and calculating person.
"There's no way around that. This damn heavy rain will take at least ten days, and it can't be stopped at all, so I can only endure it temporarily. ”
"Coo-goo" Coco's stomach protested a few times, because someone has no talent for saving money at all, plus he needs to provide money for two big foodies and a drunkard, and the daily turnover is only enough to fill everyone's **, and he can't save money at all, so during the heavy rain, everyone who has no income can only go hungry.
"Goo-goo-goo"
"Goo-goo-goo"
Hungry stomach is really contagious, except for Doudou, a person who doesn't need to eat, everyone's stomach began to protest, "Sister Coco, don't you eat without a lollipop~~" Xiaoya stood next to Coco and tried to let out a cute breath trying to exchange it for a delicious lollipop, but unfortunately Coco herself was so hungry that she shrank on the sofa, how could she have spare money to buy a lollipop.
Xiaoya returned to the room in frustration, trying to endure the hunger by sleeping, not knowing if the effect was good. In a sluggish atmosphere, a hungry morning was spent in such a state of flux, accompanied by the slight snoring of pimples and the gurgling of three different sound sources.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, the rain finally stopped for a while, and the streets were already flooded, because of the perennial rainstorms, so the nearby sewer pipes and the experience of the residents made the sparkling neighborhood pool disappear quickly, but the dirt on the ground was still very muddy.
It's hard for people to walk on it without staining the trouser rack, and some unlucky people can even get stuck in the mud and become a tragedy. Therefore, even if the rain stops, there will be no guests for the time being, and only when the rainstorm period is over, there will be guests coming back one after another.
"It's rare that the rain has stopped, didn't we make an appointment to go to the blacksmith shop last time, or we will go now, and it will be fine anyway. Coco proposed, but when she thought that she didn't react at all and probably needed her own special wake-up, Doudou woke up very naturally and went upstairs to brush her teeth.
"What's wrong with this? My aunt is here? Coco watched Doudou disappear in amazement, and did not stop at all.
Half an hour later, the two came to the door of the blacksmith shop, followed by Xiaoya and Xiaomei, who came to watch, and the sound of striking iron, which seemed to have never stopped, actually stopped, and just as the four of them were about to knock on the door, the door actually opened by itself.
The first to come out was Nanmei Jianhua, who had been focusing on iron-striking for thirty years and had guaranteed quality, that was as completely unscientific as ever, but at this time, the back that was originally as straight as a sword was slightly bent, as if to please something, with helplessness and a hint of humiliation on his face.
What came out was a rich and handsome man at first glance, with neat and shiny hair and a straight suit and trousers, which was extremely stylish. The disdain and impatience on his face were palpable.
And Jasmine followed silently, until she saw Doudou and her party, her eyes shone slightly, and at Jasmine's signal, the four of them walked into the blacksmith shop silently, leaving only Nanmei brothers and sisters and the rich and handsome man.
"Wow, I almost couldn't hold back a punch in the face of that rich and handsome man just now, it's so cheap, that look. Coco sat in the lounge of the room, a cup of hot tea in her hand, emitting a misty mist.
But Doudou didn't reply, this kind of person in hell is not a thousand but eight hundred, it's really too lazy to get angry or anything, and he doesn't have that idleness.
"I'm sorry to have neglected you, so please forgive me. Still such an exaggerated and loud voice, Nanmei Jianhua said very embarrassedly, at this time, he had already sent the rich and handsome man, and finally made time to entertain the four of them. Jasmine, on the other hand, goes to the studio to take care of the sword stove and bellows that are in use.
"Somewhere, we came here without prior notice, so we didn't cause you any trouble. "This is another of Cocoa's specializations - in front of strangers, the etiquette attribute is overflowing.
"No, the matter has already been negotiated, it's really a shameful thing, because of our own things recently, the guest's order has been delayed, and it should be harsh......" Speaking of this, Nanmei Jianhua smiled helplessly, "In this hell where there is no need for weapons at all, things like swords can only be reduced to collectibles, works of art, and have no use value at all, and even our swordsmiths have no status." After all, we are the ones who live by the sword. ”
"It's a small gift for all of you. As he spoke, he handed each man a sword or knife of various lengths.
Should I say that it really deserves to be a generation of swordsmiths, whether it is Doudou's long knife or, or Coco's short sword, or Xiaomei's dagger, the color is very perfect, probably a more perfect work made before. And unexpectedly very suitable for everyone's personality. The long knife is aggressively domineering, the short sword is sharp and hard, or the dagger has a low sense of existence
But Coco has always been a female man who doesn't care about details, so just a thought floated through and continued to play with the short sword in her hand.
Whether it is a sword or a knife, it is very sharp, if it is already at the level of a divine weapon in the Yang world, this can be seen from the fact that the stone can be cut into two flat and smooth halves at will, but in hell, it is useless, because of the special environment of hell.
Originally, it was very rare to have materials that could make divine weapons, but they were everywhere here, so the so-called divine weapons were not so valuable, and they couldn't hurt people, and they couldn't even turn those good-looking arts.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing by herself, Nanmei Jianhua continued, "Actually, there are still ways to improve the ...... of these weapons."
"Is the soul change plating?" Doudou suddenly interrupted Nanmei Jianhua's words, and pinched a bullet in his fingers, naturally he took it from Coco, and she had a lot of weapons with this kind of plating.
"Hehe, yes, if you put on the soul change plating, you can at least hurt the soul body, but the effect is really too bad, Lily and I have been improving it recently, and that yin amber is the most important prop among them. ”
Nanmei Jianhua's personality is not as hot as a swordsmith, and he only laughs when he is interrupted to speak, but he is like a literary young man, very modest, and it can be seen from the previous conversation that he is more like a scholar than a swordsmith, but Doudou and Coco can feel a sharpness from it, which is unique to swordsmanship.
Coco seemed to stare at Nanmei Jianhua's smiling face with some surprise, but looked away again.
"What? You're actually improving the soul transformation plating? That's a bold one. Coco looked at the slightly thin man in front of him in surprise, the long-term wrought iron made the muscle streaks on his body very deep, which is a symbol of explosive power, and the well-proportioned and tough muscles are a symbol of endurance, slightly thin just because he has been able to temper his muscles and increase their density.
"It's nothing, after all, it's a family of swordsmiths for a long time, and now there are only two brothers and sisters left, you don't have to abide by the old rules, you can innovate independently, and there is a lot of information before to back it up, it doesn't matter if you study it a little. Although Nanmei Jianhua said it very lightly, but the heavy breath in it came to his face, a completely useless weapon that could only be used as a handicraft, because it could exist persistently for so long, is there really a reason for it.
However, a long-ago family has finally become only two brothers and sisters struggling to support, and even can only grovel, and how many people know the hardships.
