Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Lingshan County

Xu Ying brought his hunting bow and arrows, a firewood knife and a wooden spear, and borrowed two donkey carts in the village, and when Xu Ying arrived at the entrance of the village, the third uncle Xu Maocheng and the three had already arrived.

Different from the idleness of the past, the third uncle Xu Maocheng pinned a firewood knife to his waist this time, and the only remaining left arm also carried a wooden spear.

There was also an old man with gray hair standing next to him, holding a thick wooden shield in his hand, although his body was a little rickety, his eyes were full of sharpness, the old man's name was Xu Maozu, Xu Ying's second uncle, the oldest old man in the village.

There is also a person with a cane, an empty trouser leg, about forty years old, a Chinese face, a face full of stubble, and a hard bow on his back, named Xu Changzong, Xu Ying's seventh uncle, who broke a leg during the battle.

Xu Ying's archery skills were learned from him.

"Along the way, there are three elders of Lao, and after the matter is completed, I will definitely give three sets of farm tools to the three elders' homes!" Xu Ying said with a solemn face, it is not safe to go to the county seat this time, and the three elders are willing to come forward.

"Huh! You think we're coveting your little stuff? ”

"In the future life of Xujia Village, you Xu Ying is still a little promising, although Xu Lang's guy looks strong, but his brain is like that, whether he can survive the battlefield in the future is a matter of words!" Xu Maocheng said with a sad face, they retired as veterans, and naturally they didn't want the white-haired people to send the black-haired people, but the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and he couldn't guarantee that Xu Lang and the others would survive on the battlefield!

Xu Ying's heart shook slightly, obviously he didn't expect that several clan elders would value him so much, and in order to help him escort the iron mine, he actually had a feeling that he wanted to risk his life.

"A few elders look up to the kid too much, this is on the battlefield, maybe I have to rely on Xu Lang to cover it!" Xu Ying touched his nose and said a little uncomfortably.

"Hmph, with all these things you're working on now, are you planning to go to the battlefield?" Xu Maozu on the side snorted coldly and said indifferently.

"But we also support you, Xujia Village can't be stopped, if you can find a way to exempt yourself from military service, we old guys will naturally support you!" Xu Maocheng saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and hurriedly played the round.

Xu Ying frowned, although he never said what he wanted to do, but what he had done these days still couldn't hide from these vicious elders, since the matter was all about this, Xu Ying naturally didn't plan to hide anymore, but said with a blank face.

"Yes, the kid does have some plans, if my blacksmith shop is set up, maybe it can really be done!"

Hearing this, Xu Maozu's face softened a little, knowing that they were still here in danger, which showed that they really regarded Zhou Heng as their juniors, and the juniors had a future, and their faces were bright.

"Two donkey carts, you sold your family's twenty acres of thin fields! How sure are you? Although your grandfather was a blacksmith, when it came to your father, your family's craft was basically broken! Xu Maocheng said worriedly.

"If I can get the iron ore back, I'm eighty percent sure!" Xu Ying said solemnly.

"Eighty percent ???"

Hearing that Xu Ying was eighty percent sure, this time it was Xu Maocheng's turn and Xu Maozu to be shocked, and even Xu Changzong, who had not spoken on the side, turned his eyes over, obviously shocked by Xu Ying's words.

"It's true, let's let the kid sell it first, and I'll tell you more about it when I get the iron mine!" Xu Ying said with a smile, it's not that he can't think of the three of them, but the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, once the news that he can refine refined iron spreads, the trouble caused is not something that Xu Ying can solve now.

Xu Maozu's temper was already hot, and when he saw that Xu Ying was still selling Guanzi, he exploded in an instant, and just wanted to ask clearly, but he was hit by the thick shield in Xu Maozu's hand.

"Since Xiao Yingzi has his own plans, let's stop making trouble for us old guys, just do things with peace of mind!" Xu Maozu said with a solemn face.

Xu Maocheng has a hot temper, and he has never served anyone even in the barracks, but it is his second brother, he is really afraid!

When he was young, he had never won against the other party, and the other party had saved his life many times on the battlefield, so even if Xu Maocheng felt like a cat was tickling in his heart, he could only endure it.

"Hmph, don't ask, don't ask, they're dozens of years old, I don't know how to save some face for me in front of the little guy!" Xu Maocheng pursed his lips, and finally turned over and got into the same carriage with Xu Changzong.

Seeing this, Xu Ying smiled helplessly, he really had an old man in the family, like a treasure, but now he has three!

"Let's go!"

Then a few people went to Lingshan County, Lingshan County is about forty miles away from Xujia Village, and the four of them took advantage of the donkey cart, and it didn't take long.

Spring returns to the earth, although the spring breeze is still mixed with some cold, but many people are already busy in the field, they have to make the field before the temperature rises, so that it can be more convenient when sowing.

Several people were cautious along the way, after all, Xu Ying had eighty taels of silver in his baggage, and if he was robbed, Xu Ying's plan would be completely ruined.

Three hours later, several people finally arrived at Lingshan County without danger, and compared to Xujia Village, the county seat was much more lively.

Although there are some people in the county who have gone to serve in the military, they are much better than in the countryside, and you can still see many men on the streets, walking the streets and alleys, enjoying life.

"Steamed buns, big hot buns!"

"Sugar gourd! Sugar gourd! ”

The incessant shouting made Xu Ying feel unreal, as if these people lived with them as if they were not in the same world.

Not only Xu Ying, but Xu Maocheng and the three of them didn't look very good-looking, and they didn't have the slightest joy or curiosity to enter the county, they just drove the donkey cart silently without saying a word.

Finally, the donkey cart stopped in front of an inn called "Fu Lai", and as soon as it stopped, a small house ran from the store.

Looking at the two donkey carts, the little guy originally thought that he had come to a big business, but when he saw the white-washed coarse linen clothes on Xu Ying's four people, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his attitude turned cold.

"A few top hitters still live in the hotel!"

"Stay! Let's get two of them, and feed us donkeys! Xu Ying opened his mouth and said, although he has a lot of silver on him now, it is all useful.

"Let's have some more food...... Xu Yinggang wanted to open his mouth to order something to eat, but was stopped by Xu Maozu.

"No, we have brought our own food, so we can save some money when we go out."

"Yes, don't waste money, we old guys haven't eaten anything delicious?" Xu Maocheng shouted.

Seeing a few people like this, the little girl's face sank, if he just lived in the hotel, there would be no oil and water at all.

But now in this world, it would be nice to have guests.

"Howler! Come with me! ”

"Appeal ......"

At this time, several men dressed as warriors stopped at the door of the inn on horseback.
