Chapter Twenty-Nine: The One-Eyed Old Man
"After living in Bluestone City for ten years, it's the first time I know that there is such a place in the city. ”
Mu Wen sighed with emotion, walking in a green vegetable garden.
This place is in the corner of the west of the city, and there are no people to be seen, Mu Wen has been walking for half an hour, not that this vegetable garden is a little big enough, but there are too many detours around and around. Because he came to ask for help, Mu Wen restrained his steps, did not step on an acre of vegetable leaves, and walked on the detour road with great respect.
When I walked to the end, I saw an old house.
"Phew. ”
Knocking on the door twice with just the right amount of force, Mu Wen greeted, "Is anyone there?"
"Nobody's here. A hoarse old man's voice rang out.
The corners of Mu Wen's mouth twitched, and he said, "Isn't it a person who spoke just now?"
"Bang!"
The door was opened, and the old man rushed out angrily with the handle of the broom, and made a gesture to Mu Wen that he wanted to fight: "What an impolite little rabbit cub, who are you scolding is not a human!"
Mu Wen bent down and smiled kindly: "The junior didn't mean to offend, but he just wanted to ask for help with something." ”
As he spoke, Mu Wen looked at the old man with his spare eyes, he was not tall, blind with one eye, and carefully looked at the curled left leg was still lame. The salute seemed to make the old man's heart feel a little more comfortable, and he withdrew the broom handle, but he turned around and slanted his cold eyes: "Thirty copper coins for a pound of groceries, if you don't build weapons." ”
Seeing that the old man was about to go back to the house, Mu Wen hurriedly took out his money bag: "Old man, there are eight gold coins here that are already my belongings. If you're willing to help me craft a weapon, I'll give you all the money. ”
The old man had already entered the house, and after hearing the words eight gold coins, he twisted his head and walked out again: "What weapon do you want to forge?" ”
"A long sword with a hidden mechanism. Here's the blueprint. Muwen handed the money bag to the old man along with the drawings.
The old man only took the blueprint, and when his gaze fell on the drawing, Mu Wen clearly caught a glint in his cloudy eyeball. The old man looked at Mu Wen, looked at it from head to toe, and then asked, "The ink on this drawing is still a little wet, who is it from?"
"I painted it. Mu Wen said.
The old man snorted, "Just you?"
He looked like he looked down on people, and Mu Wen had no choice but to say: "Old man, the pattern on the drawing is indeed drawn by me." But this design pattern is not something I came up with, but a master. ”
"Which one is superior?" asked the old man, with his nose turned upward.
Mu Wen said: "I can't say it with all due respect. ”
The old man was not angry, pointed his finger at the drawing, and read: "There should not be this length here, otherwise the needle will be hindered too much, and the power of the shot will be halved." And these porch fasteners, you drew the opposite direction. And here, here, and here, it's all six to four wrong, what kind of bullshit tricks can you make with this drawing. ”
Mu Wen was stunned when he heard it: "The old gentleman's eyesight is really good, yes, you reprimanded right." ”
When the words fell, Mu Wen squeezed his eyebrows: "Then old man, do you want to help me change this design drawing, and then forge a handle by the way?"
The old man hesitated on his face: "You unlucky ghost, if you come to the old man for half a year, then the old man will help you forge." It's unfortunate that the old man decided half a year ago that he would no longer forge weapons, so please go back. ”
Regarding the old man's closed-door thanks, Mu Wen hurriedly said, "Old man, can you be accommodating?"
"Unless you answer my three test questions. The old man's face changed violently.
This change of face became too fast, and Mu Wen was stunned for half a second, and then came back to his senses and said happily: "Although Mu is not talented, but the general problems are not difficult for me." Sir, please ask the question. ”
The old man put on an unfathomable look, and his chin was raised high: "I only give you ten seconds to think about each question, and if it is outdated, it will be invalid, understand?"
"Understood. Mu Wen tensed his nerves.
The old man waved his sleeve and asked, "Once upon a time, there was a small village where a cultivator named Lu Maozi lived. One day, Lu Maozi's wife went to Village Chief Wang's house and didn't return overnight, and the wife who came home the next day was slapped by Lu Maozi and scolded the slut. Why is that?"
Mu Wen thought about it, and the ten-second time for answering the question was coming soon, so he asked awkwardly, "Did his wife steal someone?"
"That's right, next question. The old man said sharply: "Once upon a time, there was a small village, and it was still the cultivator named Lu Maozi. One day, his wife secretly went to the house of Village Chief Li in the next village and did not return that night. The next day, his wife, who came home in disheveled clothes, was slapped by Lu Maozi and angrily reprimanded for being shameless, why is this?"
Mu Wen's eyes widened, what kind of bullshit problem is this?
"She's stealing again?" asked Mu Wen tentatively, sweating on his forehead.
"Yes. The old man nodded and said, "The third question." Once upon a time, there was a small village, and it was the cultivator named Lu Maozi. On this day, he passed by his brother's room and found his wife doing misdeeds with his brother in bed. Lu Maozi didn't say anything, went home and waited for his wife with a gloomy face, and the next morning his wife came home secretly and was caught by Lu Maozi. The wife knelt on the ground and begged for mercy not to put her in the pig cage, but Lu Maozi hugged her and praised his wife well. Why is that?"
Mu Wen's expression was so wonderful that he couldn't describe it in words, and as time passed, he replied speechlessly: "It must be that this guy named Lu Maozi is crazy." ”
"You're crazy. ”
The old man glanced at Mu Wen disapprovingly, and said the correct answer: "Lu Maozi was beaten by his brother in the battle for the well, and he held a grudge, and he was about to go to his brother's house to poison him that day, and then he saw the scene of his wife's infidelity. It turned out that his wife had contracted an unclean disease after repeatedly stealing people, and when she saw that she was doing something wrong with her brother, she passed the disease to her brother, so Lu Maozi was very happy. ”
"I'm grass" Mu Wen was stunned.
Uncle Wang Dong is right, this old man is really a weirdo, no, it should be an old neurotic!
Well, there is no need to find him to forge the sword, and Mu Wen left dejectedly.
At this moment, the old man suddenly shouted: "Go what you go, leave the drawings." Nine days later, I'll get my sword here, remember, don't come and disturb me during this time. ”
Mu Wen felt that his brain was not enough: "Old man, didn't I answer the third question correctly?" I know, your answer is wrong, it is teasing me, and the correct answer is that Lu Maozi is crazy." ”
"Ahh ”
Mu Wen was at a loss: "In that case, then why did you agree to help me make a sword?"
When the old man heard this, he became angry, and spat angrily shouted: "You kid is so stupid, stupid and stupid, you were kicked in the head by a donkey when you were a child, didn't you? The old man just asked you to answer the question, which ear did you hear me say that you want all the answers to be correct? The silly boy is so stupid, stupid to the point of home." ”
The cool breeze is blowing by.
Muwen stood still, scolded for being stupid...
