Chapter 2

Yiyuan Village, not a big fall, in a corner.

This place is located in the north of the wind land, adjacent to the Zhao country, for the territory of Changping County, is located in the wind country mother river "Mancang" at the end of the river, the surrounding wilderness, the jungle is rare, although it is not a treasure of the land, but it can also be regarded as a paradise.

Yiyuan Village, bamboo forest on the southeast side.

The bamboo forest here is quite wide, like a green wall, separating the ironcarpenter's residence from the village.

The ironcarpenter's dwelling is located in the middle and rear sections of the "Green Wall", and the villagers once carved out a path to lead to it.

From a distance, the area of this house is not much, only a mud house of three equal widths and six equal lengths: the house is quite high, and it is divided into two doors before and after, but there is no courtyard, there is only a stone table at the front entrance, supporting three stone benches; on the side of the back door, there is a pavilion, go out to see the right, it is the stove, go out to see the left, it is the square area - the wooden workshop.

Inside the house.

Because of the symmetry between the front and back doors, the large room is also divided into two spaces: the left hall is counted as the living room, and the right hall is the casting area.

At this moment, the ironcarpenter was standing by the anvil in the center of the foundry, looking motionless like a sculpture at the water altar in front of him, or rather, the baby in the altar.

"Hello, Hello. The baby made two biting noises in his sleep, sounding strange and laughing.

"......" The ironcarpenter looked down at him expressionlessly, and did not move for a long time, and even his voice was so low that he could not be heard.

"Heh. From time to time, the baby opened his mouth softly as if in a dream, and then saw him frown slightly and muttered two silent words, and then took the thumb of his right hand and sucked it.

Xu is a thumb delicious, and after only two sucks, the baby furrowed his brows, revealing a satisfied mold.

Seeing this, ......the ironcarpenter was even more silent.

It's been a long time.

"Huh—" The ironcarpenter slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and after he made up his mind, his complexion softened.

After another scrutiny, the ironcarpenter pursed a slight sigh of relief, and then stepped forward, intending to reach out and pick the baby up from the lotus leaf.

However, at the moment when the ironcarpenter raised his steps, the baby's eyes widened, and he let out a strange hissing voice at the ironcarpenter: "Ha-ah!"

The moment he opened his eyes, a fishy ferocity appeared, causing the ironcarpenter's limbs to stiffen and his pupils to shrink sharply! Not only that, but the ferocity in the baby's eyes was like a fishy wind that turned into substance, blowing all the strands of the ironcarpenter's clothes and hair backwards.

The ironcarpenter stared at the other party's fierce eyes in shock, and his eyes couldn't help but burst out with a heavy murderous intent, and he also grabbed his fists with murderous intent gradually.

However, at the moment when the ironcarpenter rose to murderous intent, his man suddenly stared, and then turned sharply to look in the direction of the main entrance.

"This kid......" The ironcarpenter gazed sharply and incredulously at the direction of the main entrance, feeling the vibration in his heart beyond measure, clenching his teeth and making a crisp knuckle clatter in his fists as he clenched too hard.

After that, the ironcarpenter's face turned gloomy for a moment, and then he turned to look at the baby on the lotus leaf with a gloomy face.

"Hah. At this moment the baby was looking at the ironcarpenter with a smile on his face, and reached out to hug him.

The ironcarpenter stared at him with a deep face, falling into a long silence.

"Whew-wh!" After a moment, the grim-faced ironcarpenter gritted his teeth and let out a deep sigh, and then, without hesitation, walked towards the baby.

Sting!

As he set out, the carpenter tore off his coat, picked up the baby from the lotus leaf, and wrapped him tightly in his clothes.

"Haha. The baby laughed and let the ironsmith wrap himself, but the ironcarpenter was a little lascivious, or deliberately wrapped his little head in it.

"Hah, ah?" But the baby was not simple, and he got his head out of the swaddling clothes with a "hah", and then he asked the ironcarpenter curiously and confusedly.

The ironcarpenter did not reply, and after wrapping the swaddling clothes with a blank face, he carried him towards the main entrance.

"I said yes, the geology there is not suitable for farming, and the village chief wants everyone to go to open up the fields, I really don't know what to think......" Before the ironcarpenter reached the door, a voice came from outside the door.

"There is one thing to say, although the place was not chosen correctly, but the purpose is good, after all, this year's harvest is really ...... It's a bit unsightly...... "When the ironcarpenter came to the door, another man opened his mouth outside the door.

As he was on the way, the ironcarpenter casually glanced at the feet of the two of them who had crossed the threshold, and then stopped steadily in the middle of the door, rightfully blocking the two of them, and said lightly, "What." ”

"Huh?"

"Uh......" The ironcarpenter's sudden encounter made the two people who came to the door stunned and stopped, and saw that a person suddenly appeared in front of them, and the two of them couldn't react for a while.

The two of them couldn't react, and the ironcarpenter didn't say a word, and the three of them stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Uh, Ironwood, I, I, I...... Uh, uh?" The gray-clothed young man on the right hand side of the ironcarpenter was the first to react, he wanted to say hello to the ironcarpenter first, but before he could say much, he suddenly swayed left and right, and his hands swayed wildly.

From the outside, it was this person who was out of balance because he had stuck his foot in the threshold and took too big a step, and now he was about to collapse himself. Of course, there are also reasons why the two of them are not in unison, after all, this one is on the left side of the right foot, the other is on the right side of the left leg, and they are still so close to each other, which is basically pelvic to pelvic bone, and it is not easy to maintain balance.

"Hey, eh, eh!" The gray-clothed young man's movements were so great that the tall man, who was also striding with a big stride and one foot stuck in the threshold, also suffered, and the two of them were writhing and supporting each other in the doorway.

It's a shame that the tall man still knows how to take back his first foot and stand up and help people, otherwise these two fools will definitely fall in front of other doors.

Seeing the stupid behavior of the two, the ironcarpenter couldn't help frowning, and said lightly: "There is something to say, and there is work to do." ”

"Ugh. Hearing this, the gray-clothed young man subconsciously opened his mouth in response, and then scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Hehe...... " The tall man scratched his head and laughed twice, and then tilted his mouth a little embarrassed, and then took out a note from his arms, bent down slightly and respectfully handed it to the iron carpenter: "This is a note set up by the village chief, saying that he hopes that the iron carpenter can transform a batch of durable farm tools so that he can reclaim the wasteland on the back slope." ”

"Ah, yes, because the wasteland on the back slope is mostly gravel, which is very difficult to cultivate, and the tools of the past years have basically been sacrificed. Hearing this, the gray-clothed young man next to him finally remembered what was going on and said hurriedly.

The ironcarpenter gently glanced at the note in the tall man's hand, and then shook his head slightly to take the note and said: "The back slope is a sand and gravel yard before, why don't you put a good periphery, but go to the tunken there." ”

"This ......" Hearing this, the young man in gray was a little speechless.

"Ah, I said yes, too, but the village chief seems to have other plans. The tall man nodded in agreement, and then said with some uncertainty: "It is said that it seems that whoever went out of the village in the past will return to his hometown from the county in a while, and the village chief seems to mean that he will first clear out the land on the back slope and build a study hall, and then go to get the matter of Tuntian." ”

"Oh?" the ironcarpenter glanced at the two of them in surprise, then nodded lightly after a little thought, "It's Meng Li...... It's also time. ”

"Who?" the young man in gray was stunned, feeling a little confused.

"Meng Li?" the tall man blinked with his mouth slightly open, looking equally ignorant.

"Ha (hà) ah. The baby, who had been held in the arms of the blacksmith with one hand, also spoke.

"Huh?" Hearing the childish voice from the ironsmith's arms, the gray-clothed young man suddenly turned his head in confusion.

"Huh-huh?" The tall man here was even more confused, after all, the two of them had been talking for a long time, and they had no effort or mind to notice that the other party was still holding something.

"Ha (hà) ah. Seeing two pairs of big eyes looking at him, the baby burst into laughter.

"Huh-ah?" This time it was the turn of the young man in gray, and he turned his head to the side with a stalk of his neck, and his eyes were full of anxiety and bitterness as he squinted at the baby.

"This, this ......" the tall man looked at the baby in the ironcarpenter's arms with a crooked mouth, and stared at the other man in a daze.

Seeing this, the ironcarpenter pretended to be calm and lowered his eyes and coughed lightly, then turned around and walked away and said: "The boy has been cultivated for a long time, and he is born today, so it is inconvenient to be disturbed, so you go back first, and as for the utensils, bring someone to pick them up in seven days." ”

As he spoke, the ironcarpenter walked out the back door without looking back.

"Ha (hà) ah, haha. When the ironcarpenter had finished, the baby laughed out loud.

"Uh, this ......" The young man in gray and the tall man looked at each other with a peep, and then one shook his head at the other, and the other shrugged his shoulders at the other.

Then the two turned around and left here, but all the way, their mouths were not idle.

"Huh, where did you say this kid came from?"

"I don't know, I don't see it, don't ask me. ”

"Hey, then you just faced him, and you were still bending your waist like a gentleman, and you didn't look at it?"

"How can my uncle have that mind!

"How?"

"You know what a, don't look at the ironsmith in terms of appearance, but his age is not a few years younger than our village chief......

"What? He's that old?"

"That's! I listened to my dad. ”

"This ...... That shouldn't be true......"

"Hey, what are you worried about, anyway, he is an elder, and he often helps the village, you have to be polite and respectful when you see him in the future, you know. ”

"Okay, okay, when have I never been polite to others?"

"That's the same, just like you, it's estimated that you will be scared to pee your pants when you see the evil......"

"Don't run!"

"Hahaha, reckless!"

"Your uncle's ......"
