Chapter 37: The Metamorphosis
Phantom Wu was smart this time, she walked directly with the basket, and when she saw the right corundum, she put it in, but after half a basket, she couldn't carry it anymore, so she could only return to the old way of holding corundum and loading it in.
"Let's send this half basket first, we don't have to fill it all. He always felt that his well-protected baby was regarded as a shoe, even if he understood that these things were not a big deal, but he just couldn't suppress his distress.
He didn't care if he did these things himself, but he didn't want to see Phantom suffer a little. Chang Jue felt that letting him watch from the side was simply a punishment for him, and making his heart so miserable was the price that she was scarce for?
"yes, I can't carry it when it's full. Phantom squatted down, put on his harness, and stood up.
It's okay, it's not very heavy. Phantom Wu was overjoyed, she just didn't see it, Chang Jue had been secretly helping her carry the basket behind her.
Phantom Wu ran back and forth several times, although she brought back a lot of corundum, but she was picky and picky, and the most she could use in a basket was only one or two.
"I still want to cast knives at this point, and I can't even make a pair of scissors. ”
Hearing this, Phantom Wu felt very congested, and glanced at the "defective products" who had not been in the eyes on the side, piled up into a small mountain bag, and collapsed to the ground.
At the end of this day, Phantom Wu felt that he had been reborn, except for the eyeballs that could still turn, the other parts were as if they did not exist, and he hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food and went back to his room to lie down.
Chang Jue and Lin Qiyi live in the courtyard of Ye, in a separate room, and Phantom Wu lives alone with Zhuo.
As soon as Phantom Wu lay down, he felt a tingling pain in his back, and when he took off his clothes, he found that his shoulders were connected to his back, and a large area was red and swollen, and his shoulders were worn out of skin. This time I was relieved, only to realize that it was really hot and painful.
Phantom Wu was quite speechless, and now he really envied those iron-beaten flesh. What's the use of envy, you still have to drag your extraordinarily useless body to a basin of water to wipe it.
The shoulders are fine, but it is difficult to control the strength of the back to be cleaned, and the phantom bit his lip and firmly tortured himself a second time, and after a scrub, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
With a "snap", Phantom Wu trembled in fright, and turned her head to see a fluttering figure in white standing by the window, almost paralyzing her.
"It's you, you're scared to death. Seeing clearly that this "white shadow" was Zhuo, Phantom Wu patted his chest, and his back hurt again.
Zhuo rolled his eyes: "The medicine is here, wipe it yourself." ”
Phantom Wu trembled and moved over, picked up the medicine bottle and smelled it, it was all some medicine to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis, then he was relieved, and hurriedly said to Zhuo: "Thank you." "Don't look at this girl moody, she's still a good person. Who just subconsciously thought that this was a bottle of poison?
"You're making me so loud that it's noisy, give me a quiet sleep after wiping the medicine!" Taka glared, and his voice was raised a bit. Why did you thank and her off? Is she embarrassed? Phantom Wu pressed the activity in his brain and nodded very obediently.
"That ......" Taka had just turned around when Phantom Wu stopped her, she turned around and asked her with her eyes: What are you doing?
"I can't reach the back, can I do me a favor?" Phantom Wu pointed to his back and raised a flattering face.
Glaring at her, glaring at her, glaring at her, and then taking the medicine bottle, muttering "stupid to death", while constantly helping Phantom Wu rub the medicine in his hand.
The ointment was applied to the back coolly, and the pain was reduced a lot, and Phantom Wu felt comfortable, and his mood was exceptionally good: "Is it because of the polishing of the casting knife that you have so good kung fu in your hands?"
Taking: ...... Are you giving me a massage?!
Seeing that Zhuo Hu didn't speak, Phantom continued: "Actually, it should be more beautiful if you smile more." ”
Zhuo: "You are in such good spirits, is it because the work is too easy?"
Phantom Wu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm not in good spirits, I'm tired." ”
Taking: ......
After taking the medicine, Phantom Wu was almost asleep, and she squinted her eyes and said, "Thank you." ”
This time, without waiting for Zhuo Jiao's answer, she was silent for a moment, and said very calmly: "If you don't like the one called Changjue, it's better to explain it as soon as possible to make him die." ”
Phantom Drowsiness flew away: "...... Huh?"
Seeing her stupid appearance, he couldn't get angry, and he was even more secretly annoyed that his head was hot and nosy, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "Idiot." He shook his hand and walked away, leaving Phantom Wu stunned in place.
What do you mean? She means long absolutely, what do I mean?!
Now the illusion was not only sleepy, she was simply disturbed by a sentence. She means she's happy...... Like me?
Even if he thought about this sentence in his heart, Phantom Wu couldn't help but stumble. Well, now that Phantom Wu is back to the state of worry in the Valley of Dreams, it's not easy to figure out herself, how can she figure out other people's thoughts? You can't secretly look at other people's dreams, no, no, she still has professional ethics. Then go and ask directly, come on, how embarrassing, if people don't mean that to you, isn't it embarrassing to ask like this......
She has always only paid attention to her own mind and worried about her own mind, but she has never thought about the mind of the opposite sex like Chang Jue, let alone figure it out.
Can be picked up like this, if you don't figure out the problem, how can you solve it? Ask Lin Qiyi, no, no, no, this idea is even worse, he will be laughed at for the rest of his life, not to mention, that big mouth has no door, the next day it is estimated that even the yellow dog in the village knows that he inquired about the young man's heart with someone.
Phantom Wu thought about it with a chill. But...... If you really like yourself, then you really should make it clear, ......right? How can I say that......
Phantom Wu struggled all night because of a sentence, and didn't fall asleep in a daze until dawn.
"Get up, get to work!" Phantom felt that he had just fallen asleep and was picked up, looking at his pale self in the mirror, Phantom Wu sighed with tears: Where is this casting knife, this is clearly my metamorphosis!
Because of yesterday's loss, Phantom Wu finally moved his eyes, ran to ask what kind of corundum is good, and studied it carefully, and was worried that the casting knife would be different from the casting sword, and went to peek at what special materials were used. With such a hard work, if Hui Ming saw it, he would probably be able to drop his eyes.
The confident Phantom Wu got a flat pole this time, and she asked cautiously: "Use the flat pole to pick corundum?"
Zhuo: "I'm going to pan for iron sand today." ”
Phantom: ......
Smelting requires a large amount of iron sand, and in order to ensure that the meteorite itself is not destroyed by the impurities in the iron sand, the iron sand required must have a very high iron content.
By the third day, she had mastered the magnet sand panning skills that Changjue had given her, but she was told to carry charcoal.
Phantom: ...... Ge Laozi!
It's easier to carry charcoal than to pan for iron sand, but ......, "Whahahaha! Where did the black hairballs come from!" Lin Qiyi rolled on the ground with his stomach in his arms.
The phantom black blended with the night, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that produced a levitation effect, and turned to Chang Jue and said, "Ah Jue, hit him." ”
All the materials are calcined together with iron sand and charcoal in a super-high furnace, and the iron sand sinks with impurities, and the extremely hard meteorite and soft pig iron are fused to form a bimetallic blade that combines toughness and hardness. The knife smith needs to use experience to determine the degree of calcination by the color of the fire bed and the sound in the furnace, and also to ensure that trace amounts of carbon have been adsorbed on the iron block, so as to ensure that the blade has a high degree of shock absorption to resist the opponent's attack in battle.
On the sixth day, Phantom Wu was very conscious of carrying the basket on her back, and she was stopped just about to take a step, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"That pile of kaolinite over there, stir it into clay with water. "Zhuo was dressed in a short body, with a turban wrapped around his head, and his face was red because of the high temperature of the forging room.
Phantoms are used to it, so they unload the basket and go to stir up the soil.
Chang Jue was also dragged to do work for a few days, but it was just cooking and carrying water, and if he didn't have a meal, he basically followed Phantom Wu.
Phantom Wu never complained bitterly, but the more this happened, the more distressed he became. The phantom body is fragile and tight, and he usually shouts pain and tiredness when he is fine, but when it really hurts, he endures it himself.
In the past few days, there have been several big blood blisters on Phantom's hands, and she has been eager to eat and dress for her.
But now she had to mix some kind of soil, and her face was darker than the phantom that had been rolling in charcoal for a day yesterday.
But black is black, what Phantom wants to do, he will never stop it.
There was a shadow of low pressure around him, and Phantom Wu was also helpless. It's easy to mix the soil, and she still has the energy to talk about it or something.
"Ah Jue, do you have someone you like?" Phantom Wu pondered for a few days, thinking that it was better to chat casually and find out.
Chang Jue was suddenly asked, and blurted out without thinking: "Yes." ”
Is there really one...... Before entering the valley, he was busy taking care of his mother, and he didn't have a chance to like any girl......, right?
"Who?" "It can't be Qingyi, right? Ge Sheng, Lin Qiyi, it's good that she's not so rigid and happy...... Maybe it's probably not me, right?
Phantom tried to pretend to be relaxed and unconcerned, but the entanglement on his face expressed his apprehension completely. Chang Jue saw it in his eyes, lowered his eyelashes, and said with a wry smile: "No, I'm joking." ”
Phantom Wu blinked, feeling both relaxed and a little ...... Lost? It must be because I can't see the valley to do a happy event, that's right!
"Ah Jue's learning is broken, and it's still fun to play tricks. "Is it true that you are relaxed, or is it best to be carefree, Phantom Wu smiled sincerely, and Chang Jue also laughed, but he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
He can't really tell his mind as Lin Qiyi said, if his liking is a problem for her, it seems too selfish to just say and do it according to his own heart.
Or is it because he is really too weak, and he has become a coward even with his heart.
Chang Jue secretly did a lot of work for Phantom Wu, and his body was also stained with mud, so he had to take off his clothes and wash them.
"The world is impermanent, and even that horrible woman is beginning to turn a blind eye. Lin Qiyi looked at the chief in the courtyard and shook his head in surprise.
Chang Jue understood what he meant, and said, "She was more cautious before than she is now?"
"But no," Lin Qiyi couldn't help but sigh, "If she had been before, she would have thrown the clay at you two and told you two to get out." She was most annoyed that others didn't take her words seriously, but now, it seems that it really doesn't matter, it's just a hard mouth. ”
Chang Absolute's situation is also very helpless, because the so-called "pit" is really not something that can actually hurt people, but it is very good to deal with people with a temperament like Phantom Wu. It's completely manual labor, but it's not excessive, so that the long guy who has been waiting for him has no outbreak.
"Is there a problem between her and Ye?" As soon as Changjue's words came out, Lin Qiyi felt that he had found a soulmate.
