"Do you recognize these two knives?"

Shen Jiangge saw that the old man's expression was abnormal, and asked tentatively.

A trace of caution flashed in the old man's eyes, and he finally shook his head and said, "Although I don't recognize these two knives, the girl can repair them." ”

"Really? That's great! ”

Shen Jiangge was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "It's just that I don't know how much this salary is?" ”

The old man touched his beard, glanced at Shen Jiangge deeply, and said with a smile: "I don't charge my salary." ”

"Don't accept it?"

"Don't accept it?"

First, the young man was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a question.

Later, Shen Jiangge asked in surprise.

- Look, this blacksmith shop doesn't look like it's open and doesn't make money......

Seeing that the two were puzzled, the old man repeated solemnly: "Yes, the salary is not charged. The girl will just wait here for an hour. ”

"This ...... I'm so embarrassed......"

Shen Jiangge said crampedly.

"As long as the girl remembers my blacksmith shop in the future, nothing else."

The old man waved his hand, picked up his pipe, took two puffs of cigarette and said.

"The younger generation will never forget."

Although Shen Jiangge felt a little strange, he still responded.

"Okay."

The old man took a few puffs of smoke, then walked to the side of the iron stove with his knife, and said to the young man, "Get out of the way, I will come with this knife myself." ”

"Master, you're all this age, why don't you let me come?"

The young man felt sorry for the old man, and he stepped forward to take the knife, but was glared at by the old man.

"What, think I'm old and useless? Well? ”

"I didn't ...... Master, slow down. ”

The young man who was questioned could only retreat respectfully behind the old man.

The old man put the knife on the fire, and in a short time it burned red.

He raised the hammer high and knocked it down with a clatter, and sparks flew everywhere!

The firelight reflected his old and dark face, shining the wrinkles on his face one by one, as if the traces of time were burning violently at this moment, and the fusion of vicissitudes and power hit an amazing feeling.

His gaze remained on the two knives, and his face showed nostalgia for some reason.

"Go, get the contents of the middle drawer on the back wall."

The old man said to the young man without looking back.

The young man was even more surprised when he heard this, and he hesitated and said, "Master, that's ......."

"What is it? When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things? ”

Before the young man could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man.

The boy replied, turned around and brought a delicate wooden box.

When Shen Jiangge saw that this wooden box was opened and there was a thousand-year-old piece of cold iron inside, he was so shocked that he hurriedly said, "Old man, this piece of iron is very valuable, right?" Why don't you make an offer? I'll see if I can afford ......."

After saying that, Shen Jiangge's face flushed, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he thought of his few silver taels.

The old man glanced up at Shen Jiangge and said lightly: "I said it, I don't want the girl's money." ”

"How can this work......

Shen Jiangge was cramped.

"I said yes, that's fine. The girl doesn't have to worry about it. ”

The old man's tone was very firm and could not be refuted.

Shen Jiangge could only stand uneasily, and he was already very unhappy in his heart.

An hour passed quickly, and the old man wiped the two knives that had been tempered and handed them to Shen Jiangge, and said slowly: "Girl, the knives are ready." ”

"Thank you so much, uncle."

Shen Jiangge saluted respectfully.

"You're welcome. The girl walked slowly. ”

Shen Jiangge turned around and wanted to leave, but saw that the old man gave her a salute that would only be done in a military camp.

And this ceremony, he waited until Shen Jiangge had gone far before he slowly put it down.

The young man looked at the old man from the side, and couldn't help asking, "Master, do you know this woman?" ”

The old man stared in the direction where Shen Jiangge had gone, and muttered, "I don't know ......."

The young man didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only scratch his head.

###########

When Shen Jiangge returned and walked past the door of Mofu, he saw an endless stream of scholars lined up at the door.

Some of them were carrying gifts, while others were carrying something, and none of them came empty-handed.

"Heh, just this battle, I'm afraid that Li Wen's kid won't be able to take his turn if he is in the wilderness......"

Shen Jiangge shook his head helplessly.

The purpose of gaining fame is to become an official, but being an official is not for the benefit of the people, not for the sake of the country, but for the sake of these officialdoms, I am afraid that just on this day, Mo Fu doesn't know how much to earn, right?

These have always been disdainful of Shen Jiangge, so she didn't even look at these people, and went straight back to the inn.

When Shen Jiangge came back, she passed by Li Wen's door, and heard this kid reading the book of sages aloud, wishing that the guests on the entire second floor could follow along.

"This kid is good at reading, but it's a pity that he can't flatter sycophants, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Shen Jiangge stopped at Li Wen's door and knocked on the door three times.

The sound of reading in the room stopped abruptly, and the door squeaked open, and Li Wen poked out half of his head.

"Jiang Ge, are you looking for me?"

Li Wen said with a smile, the book of "Analects" in his hand was about to be ruined by him.

Shen Jiangge nodded, "Hmm." He said, and then said, "Youshi, you go to the Li Mansion with me." ”

"Didn't you say to go and see Master Mo? Why did you run to the Li Mansion? ”

Li Wen was puzzled, scratching his head suspiciously and asked.

"Don't worry, as long as you are in the Li Mansion, I guarantee that your Lord Mo will personally come to you at the gate of the Li Mansion."

Shen Jiangge looked at Li Wen sadly, and muttered in his heart-this Li Mengzhi is so smart, how can he have a dumbfounded nephew?

"Lord Mo came to the Li Mansion to find me in person? It's impossible...... Jiang Ge, are you confused? ”

Li Wen eagerly grabbed Shen Jiangge, afraid that she was joking with herself.

"Rest assured. Can't be wrong. ”

Shen Jiangge sighed and glanced at Li Wen, and said, "Remember to bring a self-defense weapon on your body, maybe it can come in handy." ”

Shen Jiangge turned around and was about to leave, but he heard that Li Wen was anxious behind her.

"Wait, Jiang Ge! Why do you see that Master Mo still has to bring a weapon for self-defense? Is there any danger? I don't have anything to defend myself in......"

Shen Jiangge stood helplessly, then turned around with a smile, pulled out an ugly smile at Li Wen and said, "You can ask the chef in the back kitchen if he can lend you a kitchen knife." ”

"Dish...... Kitchen knife??? ”

Li Wen's face suddenly became ugly, and he muttered in embarrassment, "How can a scholar use this thing...... It's not to take the martial arts championship...... Besides, you can't bring a sword when you meet an official of the imperial court......"

"With or without you. I'm sleepy, go sleep. Remember to call me when you are united. ”

Shen Jiangge strode forward, looked up to the sky and yawned, waved his hand at Li Wen and entered his room.

"Jiang Ge, this, this is not polite......"

The rest of the nerd was furrowed in the same place, his brow furrowed into his Analects.
