Chapter 36 The Blacksmith Shop
It occupies an area the size of three or four wooden houses, but there are no walls, only a few tall pillars supporting the roof that looks like tiles and mud.
Underneath the eaves, there were long mats that had been rolled up.
Inside the blacksmith's shop, there are blacksmith furnaces, iron clamps (used to hold hot iron billets), anvils (platforms for blacksmiths), hammers, grinding stones, and other tools.
There are even three stoves, and there are bellows next to the stoves, and some men are desperately pulling on the side.
With the movement of the strong man, the wind rushed into the stove and snorted and sparkled, and the raging temperature could be felt outside, and the strong man's face was also red from the heat, and sweat droplets fell down his chest;
The rest of the people were 100 shirtless, busy inside, or rummaging back and forth with sledgehammers, or picking out some suitable materials on the side......
Outside the iron shop, a half-person tall booth was erected, on which were some ready-made utensils.
From time to time, some strong men will come and go, talking and arguing with a few men at the door who are in charge of sales, arguing about the price.
Everything seems to be in full swing.
"Zhu—"
A handful of beaten iron embryos are cooled in water, bringing out the trills of cold water evaporation.
"This is the blacksmith?"
Li Le stood next to the stall, looking at the crowded shop in front of him, with surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help muttering.
"It's huge! There are so many people here! ”
She is not the stunned young man she used to be, and she knows how important it is in a world where it is difficult for the population to reproduce and the mortality rate is extremely high.
So seeing so many strong men working here, I naturally attach a higher level of importance to this place in my heart.
"It's really important to strike iron, so many people should be common here?" Li Le subconsciously pinched the tuan tuan in his palm.
"Hahaha, which little cub came over to play? I'm afraid it's the first time I've come to the blacksmith's shop, right? Do you want me to lead you everywhere to see and learn? ”
A rough voice sounded, sounding next to Li Le, like a bell, and the momentum was very strong.
Li Le was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the reputation, he praised in his heart, what a strong man!
The strong man I saw was about two meters tall, with a scruffy beard, full of blood, and his back undulated like a dragon, and a terrifying sense of strength was shown from his naked half-body, and he was holding a thick javelin in his hand.
There were a few scabbed wounds on his body, and he still looked a little familiar.
At this moment, he was laughing and looking at Li Le, his voice was like a bell, and he laughed and opened his mouth to Li Le, and there was no malice in his voice.
Li Le touched the gray cloak, knowing that he was afraid that it was the benefits brought by this cloak:
The gray cloak signifies being a minor in the district, and this potential minor is a hope for the reproduction of a race in any era.
Especially in this world where the mortality rate is quite high, as a minor, there will always be some extra kindness and help.
"I'm here to see the weapon on behalf of my eldest brother Bai Ye." Li Le opened his mouth in response, not to mention anything else, and first pulled out Brother Bai's tiger skin.
When the strong man heard Li Le's words, he was stunned, patted his head, had a little more tangible smile on his face, glanced at Li Le a few times, and laughed:
"Whose girl did I say? It turned out to be the younger sister of the head of the 13th district, which is really rare. ”
Li Le's heart moved, the strong man in front of him still had some friendship with Brother Bai.
His voice was very loud, attracting a few strong men who were busy and in full swing to look at him
"A girl?"
"The younger sister of the White District Chief?"
"Is that the cub that the white district chief has been talking about?"
"The body looks very thin, I don't know how much strength I have?"
……
The voices of several strong men were not small, and they looked at Li Le with a little curiosity and affinity, as if they were looking at their own cubs.
Come on...
I can hear me, right?
Li Le's face was hidden under the hood, and he couldn't help but touch his nose when he heard them talking about his strength.
As if seeing Li Le's expression, the strong man smiled and scolded the people next to him:
"Do your own work, look at the mess up the work at hand, look in front of the girl, see where your face goes!"
Li Le Yile, the corners of his mouth under the hood hooked, and suddenly remembered why the strong man looked familiar:
Two days ago, Li Lehe was in the second district 'hunter' seen from a distance at the city gate, and he saw the figure of a strong man in front of him.
At that time, the strong man still had scars on his body, but he didn't expect the wound to scab over so quickly, and he came out to work.
Then one of the middle-aged men continued to speak, allowing Li Le to verify her conjecture.
"'Brute'! If you weren't injured in the waist, couldn't hold a hammer, couldn't forge a weapon, how could you be so leisurely! ”
The strong man ripped the bellows whirring, and his face was smeared with black ash, but he still grinned with white teeth, panting, and smiling and scolding at the 'brute'.
Looks like they're still having a lot of fun.
Li Le looked at the group of people who were coaxing beside him, thinking thoughtfully, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Don't listen to those guys! Since you are the sister of the white district chief, just call me big brother! If there is anything you want to see, the big brother will tell you about it! ”
The strong man laughed, his chest vibrated like thunder, and he looked at Li Le with care for his juniors, very sincerely.
Li Le likes to deal with these straightforward people, at least they are very simple, and they don't have to bother to figure out what these people are thinking.
The face under the hood had a real smile, and the tone was smiling:
"Okay, then let the eldest brother take me to see the weapons that my brother Bai usually uses, and I can also bring it back to Brother Bai."
"Good! The girl is ambitious, but this 'firefly' is timid, I'm afraid I can't go in with the girl, why don't you put it next to the stall in front of you first, and then take it when you come out in a while? ”
The strong man first praised it, and then saw the tuan tuan in Li Le's hand and grabbed his messy hair.
Li Le smiled, glanced at Tuan Tuan, who was sleeping soundly in her palm, stretched out a small half of his palm slightly, exposed a small half, and said with a smile:
"Big brother, it's okay, this little guy is bold, he is sleeping soundly now, he won't be scared...
What's more, this little guy has a big temper, and if he is put outside, he will wake up after a while, and he is afraid that he will make noise with the brothers in front of the stall! ”
Li Le's eyebrows smiled: How could she give her belongings to others?
The strong man was just reminding, and when he saw that the little guy in Li Le's palm was sleeping, he was also surprised in his heart, but he didn't care, he just smiled and said:
"That's fine! Then the eldest brother will take you to see this blacksmith first, and I will also tell you what weapons the white district chief usually uses..."
