The middle-aged blacksmith touched the head of a large bag and was furious: "Why do you hit me with a scoop every time?

This middle-aged woman, who has light eyebrows and thin eyes, no powder and no makeup, a slender body, and a village woman dressed in coarse cloth, seeing her small lips and thin lips, it is difficult to imagine that the shout just now came out of her mouth.

Hearing the middle-aged blacksmith complain, he crossed his hands and dragged an embroidered shoe, rushed in front of him, and a series of droplets flew all over the sky with her words, miraculously not a single drop was wasted, and all sprayed on the blacksmith's face.

"Old immortal, eat chicken butt today, don't you dare to complain? The old lady usually asks you to plant some rice, corn, and fruits, and vegetables, so that you don't even have anything to eat now, right? I know all day long that Gu Chong'er is going to fiddle with your broken iron bumps, can that thing fill your stomach? Do you dare to talk back? Who borrowed your guts? The old widow next door?

After this long list of screams and scolding, she didn't breathe, her face didn't change color and her heart didn't beat, she deserved to be Ling Niangzi in the first village in the world.

The young man on the side saw that the situation was wrong, and he pulled out his legs and rushed straight out, like an arrow from a string. There is a small hill behind the left side of the hut, the hillside is full of wild persimmon trees, this season, there are a lot of wild persimmons, the young man plans to eat there first, and then pick some back and distribute them to them, at that time it is estimated that the teacher's anger has disappeared early. Saved a scolding.

It wasn't until the young man ran away without a trace that Ling Niangzi suppressed her voice, and both of them sighed and sat down face to face.

And a strange conversation began.

Ling Niangzi looked softly at the direction of the young man and said, "I really can't bear him to go!"

Blacksmith Ling squinted, his usually cloudy eyes suddenly sharpened, clenched his fists, touched the scars on his face, and looked at one of his lame legs: "He can't follow us anymore." Be sure to send him away as soon as possible. Those people, sooner or later, will find us. At that time, I was afraid that the lives of the three of us would not be guaranteed. ”

Ling Niangzi took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and the two looked at each other for a while, as if they both recalled that terrifying past, and their eyes showed helplessness. Right now, for his safety, there is only one way.

"Where to send him?"

"Fasting house. ”

"Why do you go there? There are no masters there, what can you teach?"

"It's safe if you don't have a master. No one will pay attention there. What's more, the courtyard has also been passed down for hundreds of years, if you don't have a little heritage, you can't live so long just by relying on geographical conditions. ”

Ling Niangzi sighed before she woke up. Carefully turn your mind around, from the safety consideration, it is indeed a good place to go.

Ling Niangzi was still relieved, "We can't pass on his exercises openly, he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself when he goes out, in case there is something long and short, how can it be good?"

Blacksmith Ling shook his head and sighed, "I have already passed on the exercises to him. ”

"What? What kind of transmission? How do I not know?

"Teach him to strike iron. In the past three years, I have embodied the luck exercise method of the Five Yuan Gui Sect in the smelting hammer method, and the luck method has been improved by me, and it has long been mixed with his qi sea. Ordinary people can't find out the source of his exercises. This time, I went to the fasting house to see if there was any Taoism suitable for him to practice. However, his qi veins are quite special, and if he can have a Dao technique that matches him, his cultivation will not be lower than ours in the future. As for his fate, we can only arrange it here. Aren't you proficient in the art of metaphysics? Why don't you deduce it?"

Ling Niangzi lowered her head in a dejected manner, and replied in a low voice after half a sound: "Those who are good at doctors don't heal themselves, and those who are good at calculating don't count themselves, since we took Chong'er to this small mountain village, I haven't touched the horoscope once." If you don't say it, I'll forget that I still have that skill. What's more, the heavens are not as good as people, the catastrophe more than ten years ago, even if I calculated the bad omen in advance, I still couldn't escape the manipulation of fate, so I left Chong'er to break through by himself. ”

Suddenly remembered something again, "We have nothing to do with the fasting house, how can Chong'er get in?"

Blacksmith Ling rolled his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and rarely showed a strange smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks in this matter. You don't have to worry about it. Wait for Chong'er to come back and have a showdown with him. ”

After a long while, Ling Niangzi came back to her senses from her chaotic thoughts: "You say, Chong'er, in the future, will you blame us for today's decision? Or let's wait for him to have the ability to protect himself before sending him away?"

Without hesitation, the blacksmith replied, "As a heavy man, you are worrying about nothing." At the beginning, the famous Divine Calculation Heavenly Master, why is he indecisive now?"

When Ling Niangzi heard this, her face was gloomy.

The young man who was far away on the hillside sneezed a few times, unaware of his fate, and reached the first turning point.

Two quarters of an hour later, the three of them sat around the small square table, which had a crooked leg, and on which five or six half-ripe persimmons were scattered.

Facing the direct gaze of the two of them, the little blacksmith showed a harmless smile on his face: "Master, master, please have dinner." ”

Ling Niangzi was so angry: "That's all you find?

The little blacksmith innocently replied: "This is already a good product that I have selected for thousands of years, and there are some cooked ones, which have long been pecked by the birds and cannot be eaten." ”

"Have you eaten it?"

"The young and the old are orderly, the master and the mother have never eaten, how can the apprentice use it first?" the little blacksmith was reminiscing about the ripe persimmon at the top of the tree, but his mouth was not leaking.

Ling Niangzi pushed all the persimmons on the table to the little blacksmith, and said softly: "These persimmons are all yours." Your master and mother are not hungry. ”

Faced with Shi Niang's unexpected behavior, the little blacksmith was stunned, Ling Niangzi thought he was sensible and didn't want to eat alone, so she touched his little head at the moment and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Eat, eat it all, after eating, Master and Master Niang have something to say to you." ”

The little blacksmith touched the slightly bulging belly, and secretly regretted that he had eaten a few more persimmons for a while, and how could he still stuff so many persimmons?

muttered in his heart, his face was still respectful, and if the master didn't speak, he couldn't eat first.

Blacksmith Ling had already caught a glimpse of the residual orange at the corner of his mouth, but he only smiled secretly in his stomach, and he had the intention of making him ugly, and he thought that he was about to leave home, so he had to relieve the siege and said: "If you are not very hungry, let it go first." Stay and eat again. Master and Master have something to say. ”

The little blacksmith looked at the master in disbelief, is this still the master's style? Why did these two demons suddenly become so understanding today? There must be demons when things go wrong. A pair of small eyes turned around on the face of the master and the mother, full of questions, how could there be answers on the face.

Blacksmith Ling groaned for a while, and finally spoke: "Little guy, how does Master and Master treat you on weekdays?"

The little blacksmith replied respectfully, "Entong reinvents." The master and the master are sent, and the disciple will not give up to repay the teacher's kindness. ”

"Little guy, with just your three or two forces, what is worth sending. However, when you are at home, you can only use a farm tool and a small weapon, which will not help the family. Since you like refining weapons so much, the teacher plans to send you to a place to learn the magic of refining weapons and Taoism. ”

The little blacksmith was skeptical, and his eyes were rolling. He is the one who knows the master's refining skills best, where else can anyone be stronger than him?

Why has no villager come to the blacksmith shop to repair the farm tools for more than half a year? Isn't it because the master has made the farm tools of those villagers strong and durable, that it has led to today's disaster of having no rice to cook?

Shi Niang couldn't help but answer: "Chong'er, it's not that Master and Shi Niang drove you away, it's really that you have grown up and should go out to see the world." ”

Blacksmith Ling pretended to burn another fire profoundly: "You don't want to see the kind of arrows and that kind of gods that Master told you about in the morning?"

This sentence can really arouse the desire of teenagers to learn.

At that time, he no longer turned: "Where is Master and Master going to take me? When will I leave?"

"Fasting house. Leave early tomorrow morning. ”

The little blacksmith's eyes twitched, and he fell silent.

"So, what about you?"

The middle-aged blacksmith's eyes lowered and he was speechless, and Ling Niangzi squeezed a light smile: "I heard that in that place, the mountains are very high, and your master and I can't climb the mountain road, so I won't go with you." We're still here, ready to take over some smelting work in the town to do, and save some money for your wife. ”

The young blacksmith had been immune to this joke that he had said to his master hundreds of times, and today for some reason, his face was slightly red, his eyes were slightly red, and the three of them were speechless for a while.
