Early the next morning

Wen Hao arranged the training tasks of Qin Han and the others, and took Ji Lengling and Huo Feng, who could walk down the road, to the blacksmith shop.

According to Huo Feng's own words, it will be suffocating if he stays alone, so it is better to go out and walk around, and the injury may get better faster.

According to the address that Zhao Xiaoqi inquired, the three of them came to a very ordinary blacksmith shop, a very ordinary blacksmith shop.

The main hammer is a master, and when he saw Wen Hao and others coming to the door, he said a few words to the other hammer young man, and then walked up with a smile.

wiped the sweat on his head, enthusiastically brought Wen Hao and the others a clean stool to sit down, and took a pot of herbal tea to entertain Wen Hao and the others.

After the hospitality work was done, it was time to talk about business, and the master asked Wen Hao which of the three of them wanted to buy iron tools and what iron tools needed to be made. He thought that these three sons just wanted to create something to play with, and thought that if they could entertain these three well, maybe business would naturally come to the door in the future.

The iron business is very bleak, and there are fewer people in the rivers and lakes. The imperial court also had its own casting mechanism, and weapons large and small began to be self-sufficient.

As a result, their industry is becoming more and more bleak, and they can only build some small parts to sell, and the profits are not very good.

However, when Wen Hao said that he wanted to buy a batch of weapons for his brothers, the master's heart was about to jump out when he heard it.

Oh my God! A batch of weapons! How long had it been since he had received such a huge order, and even for a while he began to wonder whether to close the blacksmith's shop.

The cold and deserted business made Qushui City's large and small blacksmithing shops close down. There are no apprentices willing to learn to strike iron, after all, the prospect of iron striking is very slim. If I hadn't had my son to help me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to persevere.

"Master, we can pay a deposit for the silver first, but I hope this batch of weapons can be built as soon as possible. ”

Oh my God, the other party actually said that he was willing to pay the deposit first!

The old master only felt that if he didn't slow down, he would infarct himself with a mouthful of old blood, and happiness came too suddenly! This also strengthened his desire to pass on the iron-striking business.

"Master?" Huo Feng's hand shook in the dull eyes of the blacksmith.

"Huh?" the old master was stunned.

"Master, can you hear me?" Wen Hao asked suspiciously.

The old master was still stunned in front of the three of them.

Huo Feng glanced at Wen Hao and Ji Lengling, and the three of them turned around and discussed.

"This master can't be deaf by striking iron, right?" Huo Feng asked.

"I don't know, it's a bit silly to look at him. Ji Lengling echoed.

"Let's see. Wen Hao thought for a moment.

Wen Hao took the money bag from Ji Lengling's hand, and inside was a heavy fifty taels of silver.

"Master, this is a deposit, and there are fifty taels of silver in it, and a total of fifty broadswords are made. In addition, after the matter is completed, I will take out the remaining fifty taels of deposit. ”

How much? I heard it right? It's not fifty wen, it's not fifty dollars, it's fifty taels! Fifty taels to build fifty handles have their own surplus, not to mention that after the deed is completed, the other party will give fifty taels.

Is this a gift from God who is late?

"Childe, are you really not deceiving the old man?" the old man's voice trembled.

Wen Hao Khan: "Master, you see that my deposit and sincerity have been taken out, don't you believe it?"

The old master was overjoyed when he heard this, and called his son to greet Wen Hao and the others one by one, and said frankly to Wen Hao: "Son! ”

"Don't, master, you still have to pay attention to your body, although we need it urgently, we can't let you lose your body. Huo Feng persuaded with good words.

Seeing Huo Feng persuade his father like this, the young man also had a sour nose, and he was secretly grateful in his heart.

"Hey, don't you look down on the old man?" the old man's body is still very tough!" said the old man, shaking his arm to his chest.

Seeing the master's persistent appearance, Wen Hao had no choice but to clench his fists and smile, and suddenly remembered that he still had his own weapons to build.

"I also have to work hard for the master to build a sword for Zaixia, which is the reward. So saying, he took out the money from his pocket.

Without waiting for Wen Hao to take out the silver, the old master hurriedly refused Wen Hao and said, "Son, your old man with a sword can't take money." ”

Wen Hao's hand was stunned in his pocket, and he asked suspiciously: "Master, I really don't hide it, I came out to walk the rivers and lakes for the first time." I didn't have a weapon of my own before, but now I really need a sword like this, you see......"

"Hey, Childe misunderstood, this sword old man will not only help Childe build it with his heart, but also will not charge Childe a penny. It should be the old man's heart, and please don't refuse the old man's meager strength. The old master said with a sincere face.

Wen Hao suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

Wen Hao then asked the master why the business was cold, it stands to reason that bandits are rampant on the mountain roads around Qushui City, and the merchants in the past should have prepared some knives.

However, the master's answer surprised Wen Hao and the others, there was indeed a bandit den in the surrounding mountains.

The owner of the village is called Hengshan Tiger, this Hengshan Tiger is also extremely rampant, and the surrounding mountain roads are controlled by his village. At first, some caravans tried to resist, but after several times when their goods were looted and their men were killed, no one dared to think of such a thing.

As a result, some large merchants will pay a certain amount of "protection fee" every year, and as long as the convoy that pays this fee will pass unhindered on the mountain road.

On the other hand, if they don't hand it over, these bandits will stand all over the mountain road to block the convoy, and even the government will be powerless. At first, he did think about sending troops, but as the war in the southwest became more and more serious, this plan was in vain.

After listening to the old man's story, Wen Hao and the others secretly decided that it was them!

"Master, is there a better hospital nearby, my brother is a little injured and wants to take him to the doctor. Ji Lengling asked.

"Of course, the better medical halls are the Huichun Hall, but the Huichun Hall is too expensive to see a doctor, and the serious illness is not on the list. So we, ordinary people, will go to Xiaoyun Pavilion. ”

Ji Lengling was stunned for a moment, "Xiaoyun Pavilion?"

"Well, the doctors in Xiaoyun Pavilion are very close to the people, and the cost of medicine is not expensive, and they usually take care of us ordinary people. Saying that, the old master rolled up his cuffs, "This is what I injured when I was striking iron a few years ago, and I almost scrapped my hand at that time, if it weren't for the grace of the pavilion master of Xiaoyun Pavilion to save me, I'm afraid the old man wouldn't be able to hold a hammer in his life." ”

Wen Hao was also interested, looking at the injury on the master's arm, he must have been in a very bad situation at that time, and he didn't expect that this little cloud pavilion master would have such a wonderful ability to rejuvenate.

"However, Xiaoyun Pavilion has recently issued a message, which is also very strange to say. The pavilion master, who didn't appear once a year before, recently said to the outside world that he would sit in Xiaoyun Pavilion. ”

"Oh, then let's go to Xiaoyun Pavilion now, and let the Xiaoyun Pavilion Master rejuvenate when the time comes, so that Huo Feng's injuries can recover as soon as possible! Let Murong Girl's mother also come here, I think the Xiaoyun Pavilion Pavilion Master is really so godly, and Mrs. Murong's illness is not a problem." ”

The old master sighed.

"The problem is that the Pavilion Master of Xiaoyun Pavilion actually said to the outside world that as long as there are people with old scars on their bodies, and the scars are at least five inches long, they can only see her. ”

Ji Lengling and Huo Feng looked at each other for three full breaths, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Wen Hao was covered in sweat, and said helplessly: "Strange man!" turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop.
