Xia Chengyi strode towards the blacksmith shop in the north of the town.

The young man who ran all the way to the door of the shop gasped, and saw Han Dadong's tall and burly figure in the distance.

Although Han Dadong looks tall and burly, he looks like a living person should not be disturbed, but his temperament is completely different from his figure, he is loyal, and he also takes special care of the apprentices of the shop.

Xia Chengyi said hello to Han Dadong and hurriedly entered the shop and began to get busy, it is strange to say, although Xia Chengyi looks thin, but Xia Chengyi completes the large and small efforts in the shop, and does not lose to any young man.

Xia Chengyi didn't stop the busy work at hand until the third pole of the day, Xia Chengyi exhaled a breath of turbidity, stretched his muscles and bones, and crackled. Thanks to Xia Qingfeng's sword book, Xia Chengyi has never felt a trace of tiredness until now. If it were the old days, not to mention being paralyzed on the ground, you would not be able to run away from exhaustion.

"Open the meal!"

At the sound of the order, everyone left the work they were busy with.

Xia Chengyi squatted on the threshold with a bowl, taking a bite of white rice drenched in gravy. The braised pork is hidden at the bottom of the bowl by him, so that when he finishes cooking, he can still eat a piece of meat.

The teenager ate with relish.

A sneaky figure appeared behind the door and poked his head out, and shouted softly to Xia Chengyi, "Xia Chengyi, look here." ”

Xia Chengyi looked up and followed the voice, only to find Han Qian secretly hiding by the door.

Han Qian looked around and found that no one was looking at Xia Chengyi, so he trotted and pulled Xia Chengyi to the corner.

Xia Chengyi didn't have time to put down the dishes and chopsticks before he was dragged over by Han Gan, still holding the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, which was quite funny.

Han Qian crossed his hands on his hips and asked, "Xia Chengyi, how did you see my father's face today?" ”

Xia Chengyi sat on the threshold, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked up and recalled, and said, "Master Han's face looks okay today, did you make your father angry again?" ”

After Han Gan put his hands on his back, he said in an old-fashioned manner: "Old Xia, you still have to learn from Xia Yao in terms of speaking and doing things, look at you, what do you mean by making my father angry again?" I can't just care about my dad to ask that? ”

Xia Chengyi tugged at the corners of his mouth.

As for how they met, it is not unfortunate that Xia Chengyi was tied to a fish basket and stepped on the stream water, catching the fish hidden in the stone slab under the riverbed. And on the shore a boy was squatting on the shore to play in the water, but his feet slipped and fell into the stream, although the stream is not deep, but in the end it is still a child, fell into the water and disappeared all of a sudden. At that time, Xia Chengyi hurriedly let go of the fish in his hand, stabbed it violently, entered the water, and scooped up the boy, but saw that the boy was pale, which scared Xia Chengyi a lot, for fear that the boy would die with a roll of his eyes.

In the end, the boy coughed a few throats, choked out a mouthful of stream water, and then slowly opened his eyes, but saw a face that was darker than black charcoal, and was frightened on the spot, and hurriedly covered his eyes with both hands, and silently recited the ghost and god uncle in his mouth, my body is not delicious at all, do you want to change to a person with fine skin and tender meat, I know that there are several big dogs in this vicinity, rich and oily, all of them are oily, you will take a bite at that time, and ensure that the meat is delicious.

Xia Chengyi suddenly laughed angrily, and asked the boy with a dark face Do I look so dark. Only then did the boy react, and when he opened his eyes slightly, he realized that the person in front of him was not a ghost uncle.

The boy rolled his eyes, and a carp jumped up from the ground, laughing and laughing, I was joking with you just now, my name is Han Qian, if the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, you will be my good brother who cut off the head of the chicken and burns the yellow paper in the future.

Xia Chengyi met Han Gan inexplicably, and later Xia Chengyi learned that Han Gan fell into the stream that day because he wanted to catch a golden carp in the stream, but unfortunately he didn't hurry up and let it escape.

"I said Lao Xia, are you listening to me?"

Xia Chengyi put away his thoughts and looked at Han Qian, who had an old-fashioned face and a big ghost.

Han Qian sat next to Xia Chengyi, and said seriously: "Xia Chengyi, it's not me who said you, you are too dull, too conformist, you just talk about the ditch, my father asked you to dig alone, you really go to the chisel alone, then Lao Han is really, you can't carry a few taels of meat, you have to ask you to do this job, I think he is deliberately targeting you!" ”

Han Gan said with righteous indignation, and his expression was excited, as if the old Han in his mouth was not his own father.

And a figure quietly appeared a few feet behind Han Qian.

Xia Chengyi caught a glimpse of the tall and burly figure, and instantly sat upright, looking at his nose and nose, and never daring to interject a word, so as not to get into trouble.

Han Gan saw that there was no movement around him halfway through speaking, so he also stopped, and asked curiously, "Xia Chengyi, why don't you speak?" ”

"Tell me if my dad was targeting you on purpose? Or did you deliberately make things difficult for you because you kid didn't like it? ”

Xia Chengyi coughed, and his eyes hinted that Han Qian should stop talking.

Han Qian was about to speak, when a big warm hand covered his little head, and then a deep voice sounded.

"What about your father?"

Han Gan's body stiffened suddenly, and he stammered, "Daddy...... Dad, are you here? ”

That figure was Master Han of the blacksmith shop.

Han Dadong rubbed Han Gan's little head, and asked with a smile: "What were you yelling about just now, and you also told your father to tell me?" ”

Han Qian hurriedly shook his head and said: "I told Xia Chengyi to let him learn smarter, and learn more skills from his father's side, looking at his thin appearance, if he loses the job of our shop apprentice in the future, he may starve to death on which street, do you say, Xia Chengyi?" ”

Xia Chengyi was also willing to cooperate with Han Gan, and nodded in agreement with what Han Qian said before.

Han Dadong turned his head to Xia Chengyi and said, "You go to the sword furnace in the afternoon to see how they forge the sword, and the rest of the work at hand can be put aside for a while." ”

Xia Chengyi nodded and left.

After Xia Chengyi left, Han Dadong also sat next to Han Qian.

Han Gan was a little indignant, and said: "Dad, why did you keep letting Xia Chengyi do all kinds of dirty work before, you don't know the situation in his family, besides, you see that Xia Chengyi can't carry a few catties of meat on his body, and he is still busy with these heavy jobs every day, that is, he has a good temper, if he is replaced by someone else, he will stop doing it for a few days." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Qian'er, Dad has his own reason for doing this, and you have also seen that Xia Chengyi is no worse than those green men now." ”

Han Qian pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Doing so much work every day, everyone can practice it." ”

The man smiled, "You care about him." ”

Han Qian said arrogantly: "Of course, no matter what Xia Chengyi says, I am a good brother of Han Gan who beheads the chicken head and burns yellow paper to worship the handle, and he has to stick a knife in both ribs for his brother!" Now that the brothers are in difficulty, it is also necessary to stand up. ”

The middle-aged man laughed, "It is worthy of being my Han Dadong's son." ”

Han Qian dodged Han Dadong's big hand and said in disgust: "Dad, did you not wash your hands after touching the spatula." ”

The middle-aged man smiled.

One large and one small sat on the threshold, looking into the distance.

Han Qian was thinking about how to skip class in the afternoon and not go to the school to listen to the class, when he thought of Xia Yao, Han Qian was stunned, Han Xiaodevil, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was very afraid of Xia Yao.

The middle-aged man popped out a sentence for no reason, "Did you steal your sister's clothes a few days ago?" ”

Han Qian was suddenly frightened, and cold sweat was about to flow out, don't look at his father's amiability, he was unequivocal about beating his little ass, and every time he got into trouble, his ass was served. If he knew that he had stolen Hua Hongyue's dirty clothes a few days ago, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat when he went back, and his ass would definitely not be guaranteed.

Han Qian hurriedly denied it: "Dad, where did you hear the rumors, it was obviously done by a foreigner who looks like a thief, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Han Dadong sighed and disappeared.

Han Qian moved his buttocks, his heart hung in the air, and from time to time he peeked at the face of his father, looking like he was thinking about something, but he really couldn't see any movement.

Han Qian said tentatively: "Dad? ”

Han Dadong came back to his senses at this time, "What's wrong?" ”

Han Qian hurriedly got up, "Dad, I still have Mr. Lu's lecture in the afternoon, so I'll go to the school first." ”

Han Dadong put away his expression and said: "You listen to Mr. Lu's teaching in the school, don't be naughty all day long, thinking about skipping class, Mr. Lu is a Confucian master, you can learn more things from him, and your father can rest assured in the future." ”

Speaking of Mr. Lu, Han Dadong has a hundred respects in his heart, not to mention anything else, he is extremely concerned about just treating their family cadres, if he is replaced by other village teachers, he is afraid that he will just leave it alone and let him go, only Lu Ran will teach Han Gan patiently, over and over again. And the man is also one of the few people who knows Lu Ran's true identity, so he admires Lu Ran even more for being able to deign to teach in a small town in the middle of nowhere.

Han Qian sighed, "I know, Dad, I will listen to the class obediently, you don't have to worry." ”

Han Dadong nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Han Qian to go and busy himself.

Han Gan looked left and right for a long time, saw Xia Chengyi's figure, ran over and whispered to him a few times, he didn't know what he said to Xia Chengyi, and finally ran away with a bright smile.

A plump woman with piercing eyebrows stepped into the threshold, saw Han Dadong sitting on the threshold, and glared at him angrily, "What are you doing, sitting here without work and smiling like a fool?" Why, which beautiful daughter-in-law did you fall in love with? Want to abandon your family? Come on, come on, tell the old lady which fox spirit dares to seduce my man like this! ”

The man saw that it was his daughter-in-law and said helplessly: "Daughter-in-law, what do you want, you don't know what kind of person I am." ”

As soon as the woman heard this, she became angry, slapped Han Dadong's tight and hard arm, and said angrily: "The old lady was blind to fall in love with you such an unmotivated rammer!" Our family is not a good blacksmith shop, every day is idle and not serious, wandering around, not earning a few copper plate money every year, you want the old lady and Qian'er to drink the northwest wind in the future! ”

The man's neck shrunk, "Isn't it still a business?" ”

The woman was even more furious when she heard that the man dared to speak back, crossed her hands on her waist, tore her voice and scolded angrily: "Han Dadong! You dare to talk back now, don't you? Are the wings stiff or don't you want the third leg? A bad breed with no prospects, at home, will only be horizontal in the nest, and if you have a body of tendon meat, you will only bully such a weak woman at night as the old lady, and you can't knock out a fart with ten sticks when you go out! Why aren't you out there!? ”

The man wanted to speak and stopped, held back for a long time, and finally just hugged his head and sighed, sad.

I run this blacksmith shop in the town to live a peaceful life away from the outside world, if it is really horizontal outside, I am afraid that the outside world will be a mess of chickens and dogs jumping at peace, and now the town is mixed, there are constantly monks entering the town, I am wandering around every day to see what these monks are doing, if you really provoke you two to kill them.

But how dare he tell his daughter-in-law about these smoky things.

The people who were working around also heard the movement on the side of the shop door, and they also poked their heads out to see what was going on, only to see that the woman with her breasts worthy of the word "spectacular" was poking Han Shi's head, and scolded angrily.

Everyone also snickered, about Han Shi's spicy daughter-in-law and neighbors have heard about it, this part of the town has never lost a quarrel, known as an invincible opponent, no one can fight with it, and their Han Shi is a well-known rake ear, obedient to his daughter-in-law at home, so there is today's scene.

The more she thought about it, the more angry the woman became and twisted her man's waist hard, but found that she couldn't twist it no matter how hard she tried, so she had to give up suddenly, turned her head to look at the heads at the door, and said in a pungent voice: "What do you see!?" Haven't you ever seen a man who trains his own family? Don't hurry up and get to work! Do you want my wife to deduct your wages? ”

And the people dispersed, and went to their own business.

Han Dadong stood up, looked at the woman who was a head shorter than him, and asked, "Why did you come to the shop today?" ”

The woman exclaimed angrily: "If the old lady hadn't come to take a look, wouldn't you have been driving it all afternoon?" ”

Han Dadong looked stupid, and he really guessed the woman.

The woman saw that Han Dadong was like a stuffy gourd, and she was angry, so she slapped him, "Can you learn from that Mr. Lu, don't be like a stuffy gourd all day long, although Mr. Lu is not as good-looking as you, but people can see at a glance that he is a scholar, who speaks slowly and softly, and many matchmakers in the town see that he has not married until now, and they are all anxious for him, and want to set a red line for him." ”

Han Dadong grinned, "That's not because it's Mr. Lu, how can I compare to someone else." ”

The woman was not happy when she heard this, and her own man could only bury herself, so the woman glared at him, "What nonsense, how far can the man that the old lady fancy be to go?" At that time, if you didn't have any merits, the old lady would have gone all the way to give up her glory and wealth, wouldn't you be able to marry you? ”

When the woman said this, she suddenly smiled, "Of course, you can still toss people at night, otherwise the old lady would have taken Qian'er back to her mother's house a long time ago." ”

Han Dadong smiled.

The woman kicked over, and said with a charming look in her eyes: "Dead! ”

The woman sat down for a short time, and then hurried home to gather the grain.

Han Dadong got up and stretched his limbs, his body was also crackling like a firecracker, and his body was as solid as a small hill.

He turned his head to look at the sword furnace in the shop, at this moment Xia Chengyi was holding a blowing torch blowing the fire, controlling the heat in the furnace little by little, casting the sword is the most important thing to pay attention to the strength of the fire, if it is small, the sword embryo can not form a good shape, if the heat is large, it may make the sword embryo too fragile, and it will not open in the future, so the size of the fire of the sword furnace is also related to whether a good sword can be cast.

Han Dadong thought about it for a while, as if he had made a major decision, and walked towards Xia Chengyi.

Xia Chengyi was blowing fire into the furnace a little bit at the moment, and his already dark face was driven by the smoke, and it was like black charcoal at the moment. Seeing Han Shi walking towards him, the young man wanted to stop what he was doing and get up to say hello to Han Shi, but when the young man got together, the fire in the furnace immediately weakened a little, so he had no choice but to continue to sit in front of the stove.

Han Dadong waved his hand to signal Xia Chengyi not to get up, while he moved a bench to sit on Xia Chengyi's side, looking at the blazing and colorful fire in the furnace.

Han Dadong asked in a deep voice: "Xia Chengyi, have you ever thought about learning the immortal skills of the immortal gods on the mountain, so that you can go out of the town to see what the outside world looks like in the future?" ”

Xia Chengyi's movements in his hand paused, but then continued to send the wind into the furnace.

Xia Chengyi thought for a while and said: "Actually, I have thought about it, but I think it's good to live in a small town, there are Mr. Lu, Master Han, and Zhong Quan in the town, if you go outside, you don't know what the character and habits of the people outside are, so I think it's good not to go out." ”

Han Dadong shook his head and said, "You have to get out of the town after all, you can't stay in the town for the rest of your life." ”

Xia Chengyi smiled brightly, "Then wait until you need to go out before leaving, Master Han must not drive me away, I can help with all the work inside and outside the shop." ”

Han Dadong smiled dumbly, "If I let you do this, then you have never felt resentment?" ”
