Chapter 3 The Search for Iron
The next day, it was bright and bright. Du Wu was still asleep. Suddenly, I felt a tingling pain in my ears, and when I opened my sleepy eyes, I saw that the old face of the master covered with scars was in front of me, and his right hand was still holding his left ear.
scolded in his mouth
"You little sleeper, you slept on the master's leg all night, you slept well, the master's old legs are numb" Du Wu grinned
"Master, I'll give you a thrash," the blacksmith chirped
"Your strength is too strong, don't break Lao Tzu's leg" said that he couldn't help laughing.
"Go back and tell your father, I'm going to take you into the mountains, I've been with the master for five years, it's time to hit you with a hammer" Du Wuhuan screamed and jumped up, almost breaking the roof.
"Master, you're so good, Wu'er will go back and talk to her father," she said and jumped out of the house. At Du Sanlang's house, after listening to Du Wu's words, San Lang groaned and said for a long time
"Wu'er, you go play with your brother for a while, I'll discuss it with your mother" Seeing Du Wu walk out of the door, he looked at Sanniang.
Sanniang also looked at her husband and said,
"Xianggong, from Wu'er to our house, I have never been out of the village, in case there is a mistake, how can we be worthy of the uncle" said very eagerly.
Saburo said urgently
"Shhhh
"The blacksmith is not a mortal, his hammer weighs more than 300 catties, and two strong men can only lift it, let alone wave the iron, he can dance like the wind with only one hand, I think he must not be an ordinary blacksmith, I am afraid that he is a martial arts master outside the world, living in seclusion in my village, Wu'er and his fate, it is also the will of God, so he wanted to accept Wu'er as an apprentice, for his husband to take a mouthful, and now he wants to take Wu'er into the mountain to practice, presumably able to protect Wu'er, I will send the village to follow the young man, secretly protect them, it is okay. After hearing this, Sanniang put her mind at ease, went to the kitchen to cook more than a dozen flatbreads, cut a few catties of air-dried beef, and put them in a pocket.
Only then did he go outside the hospital and call Wen'er to go home. After lunch, Sanniang and Du Wen sent San Lang and Du Wu out of the door, Sanniang's eyes were slightly red, and she kept waving to the father and daughter, Du Wen held the remaining half of yesterday's chicken butt in his mouth, and asked puzzledly
"Mother, what are my father and sister going to do" Sanniang screwed Du Wen's face and said angrily
"Eat your chicken butt, hairy boy," Du Wen walked away suspiciously. Du Saburo took Du Wu to the blacksmith shop, where the old blacksmith was sitting outside the door, carrying a wine gourd behind his back and the handle of a sledgehammer in his hand.
San Lang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted
"Uncle Wu, where are you going to take Wu'er, I'll tell the village ladies to do something," the blacksmith said
"Wu'er has been learning to strike iron with me for five years, but I don't take advantage of this hammer, although she has great strength, after all, she is shorter than me, and her arms are not long enough, the essence of some hammer methods is difficult to play, I want to give her a hammer for her own use, but it is difficult for mortal iron to be competent, there are often meteorites falling in the mountains outside this village, the night before yesterday I saw a fire falling from the sky in the east hundreds of miles away, I think it is a meteorite falling, if you can find some meteorite meteorite iron, you can create a handy home for Wu'er, my hammer is only a very small amount of East China Sea cold iron and Tianwai Xuanjin in the iron, it has been ranked third in the blacksmith list of the five countries, That day, the outer gold is actually the essence of the meteorite extracted from the meteorite, if you can find some meteorite copper meteorite this time, it will be worth the trip" San Lang said suddenly
"I see, the old man needs to bring some people to help," said the blacksmith
"No need, there are many people who make mistakes, only my master and apprentice can do it," San Lang said
"In this way, it depends on the old man," and told Du Wudao
"This trip is no better than being at home, serving your master all the way, don't be naughty. "Du Dance is a rare positive color channel
"Daddy, don't worry, the child will be obedient," he thought to himself
"Now I can drink with the master every day" Thinking of this, the tense face instantly relaxed. Du Saburo didn't know her little abacus, and said a few more words, so he said goodbye.
I don't mention it at home. The blacksmith said
"It's afternoon today, let's go to the mountains to hunt some game, the master knows a place to rest, we rest for the night, tomorrow evening we can reach the place where the meteorite fell. Hearing that there was game to eat, Du Wu seemed to forget about the meteor and the hammer, cheered, picked up the master's sledgehammer and left.
The blacksmith laughed and cursed as he slowly followed
"You greedy baby" The master and apprentice went out of the village.
