Chapter 20: Showing Strength
Walking into the inner courtyard, the silent atmosphere made Lin Feng quite uncomfortable.
"What's going on?" Lin Feng was confused.
The blacksmith shop was so strange today, the door was closed, there was a notice of 'temporarily closed' outside, everyone gathered in the inner courtyard, no one spoke, and it seemed that the atmosphere was very heavy, as if something great had happened.
He walked gently to Li Qi's side, thinking about asking Li Qi.
Although there are many people in the blacksmith shop, there are only a few people Lin Feng is familiar with, and the ones who have the most contact are Li Qi and Defu, but Defu obviously won't tell Lin Feng about anything.
Xu Liang also saw Lin Feng, but he didn't speak, his eyes were still looking at the twenty hesitant people.
After Defu came back, he whispered in Xu Liang's ear: "It's Lin Feng, there is no one else." ”
Xu Liang nodded, indicating that he had heard.
"Li Qi, what happened to the blacksmith shop?" Lin Feng came to Li Qi's side and asked in a low voice.
Li Qi glanced at Xu Liang, then lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Master Zheng of our blacksmith shop is gone, and he also took more than a dozen blacksmith masters to join our nemesis, Longpan Blacksmith Shop. ”
Lin Feng had just been in the blacksmith shop for more than a month, and he was not sociable, so he didn't know the identity of Master Zheng.
"Even if there are more than ten blacksmith masters, it won't be like this, right?" Lin Feng looked around and frowned, "Who is that Master Zheng, why did the blacksmith shop become like this as soon as he left?"
Li Qi couldn't cry or laugh, this Lin Feng has been here for so long, but he doesn't even know the famous Master Zheng.
"Master Zheng is one of the two three-star refiners in our blacksmith shop, and the other three-star refiner is Zhao Lao, but Zhao Lao is quite old and his body is gradually declining, so Master Zheng can be regarded as the only pillar of our Xu Ji blacksmith shop, and as soon as he leaves, our blacksmith shop almost falls apart. Li Qi explained a few words simply, and his face became heavier, "Shopkeeper Xu told everyone the news, and let everyone choose to stay, all the people here chose to stay, and those over there are still thinking about it." ”
He couldn't understand why those people were hesitating, almost all of them were cultivated by Xu Liang with countless resources, and now that Xu Ji's blacksmith shop was in a period of crisis, shouldn't they stay without hesitation and spend time with the blacksmith shop?
Is this how they repay their benefactors?
"These white-eyed wolves that can't be fed. Li Qi snorted in his heart.
After listening to Li Qi's explanation, Lin Feng understood what had happened.
However, what made him strange was that one of the three major blacksmith shops in Jianglong County, why did Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop only have two craftsmen (three-star refiners)?
Although there are few three-star refiners, they are not so few, right?
He has been living under the aura of Xiao Ran, and later came into contact with Hu Fei, a four-star refiner, and finally entered the Xu Ji blacksmith shop through guò, but after coming in, he did not communicate with other blacksmith masters, which also led him to have a clear position on the status and dignity of the three-star refiner.
"I'm ......," a master blacksmith was about to speak, as if ready to decide to stay.
"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Xu, I have to be responsible for my wife, children, and children!" Another middle-aged blacksmith said in a deep voice: "I can not care about the future of the blacksmith shop, I can accept any conditions, but they can't!"
Someone finally decided to leave, but he was by no means the last.
Immediately afterwards, five or six more blacksmith masters stood up and resigned, "I'm sorry." ”
Even though it's just three words, the meaning is obvious.
66 Some people continued to stand up and say that three of the twenty chose to stay, and the remaining seventeen finally chose to leave.
As they say, they are responsible not only for themselves, but also for their loved ones at home.
"You ......" Defu's face was very ugly, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth.
"Defoe. Xu Liang glanced at him, shook his head, and then looked at the seventeen people with a calm attitude, "I just said that whether you choose to stay or leave, I won't blame you." What should come will always come, what should go will always go, God's will is hard to disobey, I have said what should be said, I have done what should be done, what the result is, I can only leave it to fate. ”
's words are quite sad and depressed.
If he says he is not disappointed, it must be fake, but he will not force these people to stay, he respects everyone's choice!
He knew that if he knew it and persuaded them with kindness, most of them would stay, but he didn't do it, he didn't want to drag them down.
"Alright, let's go. Xu Liang waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more, "I wish you can find a better owner." ”
"Shopkeeper!" At this time, the seventeen people were also a little reluctant.
Xu Liang waved his hand again and said, "That's it, you guys leave, otherwise, I don't know when I will change my mind." ”
Lin Feng below couldn't help frowning, did he really want to watch Xu Ji's blacksmith shop fall apart?
But if he shows his strength and shows off the three-star refiner badge, then in the future, he will have to shoulder the casting of most of the high-quality weapons in Xu Ji's blacksmith shop, and he will have to deal with many unnecessary troubles, so his time will be squeezed to the limit, and he will not be able to spare time to exercise at all.
Should he show his strength or hide it? This is also a difficult choice for Lin Feng.
People are selfish, this is the weakness of human nature, Lin Feng is not a saint, and naturally it is no exception, the key is to see if Lin Feng can suppress his selfish thoughts.
"To help, or not to help?" Lin Feng hesitated in his heart.
At this time, those who chose to leave finally turned around and slowly left with heavy steps.
Xu Liang closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, as if he had seen the scene of the permanent closure of Xu Ji's blacksmith shop, his heart suddenly ached.
"Help!" Lin Feng finally relented and made a decision, "I hope I won't regret it in the future!"
When he was begging for no way, Xu Ji blacksmith shop left him a place, so that he had room to progress and swing, although he believed that he could gain a firm foothold in the county with his own strength, but it is undeniable that Xu Liang can indeed be regarded as half of his benefactor, if he does not help this time, then he will always have a hurdle in his heart that cannot be crossed.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, stepped out, and said in a loud voice, "Wait." ”
"Lin Feng. Li Qi wanted to stop Lin Feng, but he didn't have time, so he could only be secretly anxious, "Why is he so reckless! If he offends everyone, he will be in trouble!"
Everyone's eyes had been attracted by Lin Feng, including Xu Liang, Steward Defu, and the seventeen people who were about to leave.
Defu was very dissatisfied with Lin Feng in his heart: "This Lin Feng usually looks quite stable, but today he is so jumpy!"
Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Feng took a deep breath again, slowly took out an item from his pocket, lifted it above his head, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper, I have already passed the assessment of the three-star refiner!"
That badge, one side is smooth and bright, flashing with a soft light, the surface depicts a majestic mountain, the mountain is magnificent, faintly giving people a momentum of winning the world's famous mountains, and the other side has the same color as the earth, in addition to the five big characters of the Refiner Guild surrounding the outer circle, there are two big characters in the center: Lin Feng!
Of course, the most attractive thing is not the mountain, nor the name, but the three dark golden five-pointed stars above the name!
Everyone was stunned and looked at the young man holding the badge blankly, Xu Liang, Defu, Li Qi and others were no exception.
"Three-star refiner!" Xu Liang suddenly reacted, walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, "But, can you let me take a look." ”
Defu also followed quickly.
Li Qi and the others gathered around, standing on tiptoe, as if they wanted to see more clearly.
"Absolutely. Lin Feng handed the badge to Xu Liang, even though he wasn't even hot himself.
Xu Liang took it cautiously, looked at the back of the badge carefully, and couldn't help but shed tears again: "Sure enough, it's a three-star refiner badge!" Zhao Lao and Zheng Shuang are both three-star refiners, and Xu Liang has seen their badge more than once, so he naturally recognizes it.
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't cry or laugh: "Is the co-author of the shopkeeper Xu suspected that I was lying to everyone?"
Defu looked at Lin Feng in a daze: "Little guy, you, have you really passed the assessment of the three-star refiner?" All along, he thought that Lin Feng was just a blacksmith apprentice, and the shopkeeper Xu treated Lin Feng so well, just to fulfill the agreement with Yang Yi, but now it seems that his speculation is very wrong, Lin Feng is not only not a blacksmith apprentice, on the contrary, Lin Feng is a genius, a nineteen-year-old three-star refiner, except for the demonic genius who appeared last year, in the entire Jianglong County, it seems that there are few people who can compare with Lin Feng!
Lin Feng smiled: "The badge can't deceive people." ”
"God has finally opened his eyes!hahaha~ha!" Defu's suppressed mood was released in an instant, and tears burst out.
Everyone around was stunned, Lin Feng, the little guy who had always been considered a blacksmith apprentice by them, turned out to be a three-star refiner!
Is there anything more surprising than that?
The most important thing is that with Lin Feng, the impact of Zheng Shuang's departure will also be minimized, and even, maybe many blacksmiths would prefer to come here to give it a try and see what is different here, after all, this is the place where a nineteen-year-old three-star refiner genius has been produced!
"Hahaha~Ha! Okay, great!"
The crowd was excited, and they were glad that they had chosen to stay.
Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop will not only not be finished, but will also be reborn like a phoenix, full of vitality!
The seventeen people who chose to leave were like mourning, and their hearts were like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and the five flavors were mixed.
Now they are not leaving, nor are they staying, and they are standing where they are, at a loss.
Providence makes people, and they can be regarded as understanding the meaning of this sentence.
