Chapter 1481: Masters
"Close the door, you're going to freeze to death."
I slammed the door shut, turned my head to look at the old blacksmith, and my heart was full of respect, "Thank you, old man!"
"You two still have rules in the next life, it's not that I'm going to drive you away, it's just past noon, you have to go."
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, the iron door panel was whirring, and the old man picked up the fire chopsticks from the ground and stabbed them into the stove a few times, and the fire in the stove was instantly much stronger again.
"Look at you like this, you're all unbroken children, right?"
Xu Moyu's old face and I blushed and nodded hesitantly.
The old blacksmith chuckled, "I'm not shy, and I haven't broken my body."
Yes......
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was nothing curious about it.
The old blacksmith pointed out, "No one in this street is broken."
it!
I've heard of the widow's village, but I've never heard of the C man's street, what's the situation?
"White snow, bury people's holes." The old blacksmith rustled his hands: "Every household on this street knows this sentence."
As I continued to ask, the old blacksmith gave me a look of secrecy: "Do you know why you put the blacksmith shop at the end of the street?"
"Afraid of molten iron splashing people?"
The old blacksmith looked disdainful: "That's all fools!"
It was only then that the old blacksmith leisurely told the truth of the matter.
It was probably more than ten years ago that the market was overhauled, and at first these craftsmen were assigned to the south of the city, and then a mysterious person appeared out of nowhere and invited them back.
Not only that, but they also decorated the shop for free, and even the hammer and chisel inside were replaced with brand new ones, and all the cost of the façade was borne by this mysterious person.
There are three hardships in the world, holding the boat and grinding tofu.
Those who are capable of these three things, none of them have good family conditions, and even the family relies on the shop to support them.
Now that a great good person has popped up, it is a great thing, and it is too late for these people to be happy, how can there be any reason to refuse?
However, there is no white pie in the sky, and under such rich conditions, there are also conditions.
This condition is that you cannot move your nest for thirty years, and even if you die, you must die in this place.
In exchange for 30 years of freedom for a shop worth no more than 100,000 yuan, this is a proper overlord clause, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is unfair.
However, the truth is always so ironic, and even in this case, everyone did not hesitate to sign with a stroke of the pen.
People will always realize that after the first few years have passed, there are people who are planning to sell the blacksmith shop.
As long as there is this idea, there will inevitably be an accident in the home, ranging from fire to death.
Within a few years, at least three families had this idea, and without exception, none of them ended well.
At this point, they wanted to find the mysterious man again, but there was nowhere to go, and this person was as if he had never been there.
Although no one knows the origin of this mysterious man, everyone understands that this mysterious man is definitely an existence that cannot be provoked.
And the only sober person in this was the old blacksmith in front of me, who knew what was going on from the very beginning.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, this place under our feet was a cutting platform.
As the name suggests, it is the place where the prisoner is delayed.
There are three poles in the punishment, Ling Chi ranks first, and the next ones are car splitting and waist beheading, and the beheading is not ranked at all.
The degree of Ling Chi ranges from eight knives to 3,650 knives, needless to say, various difficulties.
Generally speaking, the beheading should be cut off at noon, and the three cannons are fired at the same time, which is about removing evil spirits.
But Ling Chi is completely different, it's okay to run into eight knives, but if you run into a few hundred knives with Ling Chi, you have to do this work for several days.
Even in the middle of the night, I didn't dare to stop, and in the huge city, I could hear the howls and angry curses everywhere.
In fact, Ling Chi doesn't have to work continuously, and it is not a problem for a master with strong skills to work for half a month.
The point is that Ling Chi's prisoners can't die, and once he dies, the executioner has to finish the rest of the knife.
