The Iron Sword Mountain is barren all year round, and the climate is also dry and unbearable, and it feels hot when a gust of wind blows.

The mountain was bare, and a few lizards poked their heads out of the cracks in the rocks, and were forced back by the sun, and this was still in autumn.

For the people on Iron Sword Mountain, the most beautiful season is winter and spring, in this big iron furnace, only winter and spring will sprinkle a little water.

The people on Tiejian Mountain have bare arms all year round, revealing their strong muscles, and they envy the Jiangnan Shizi the most, not because they are talented and proficient in poetry, but because those Jiangnan Shizi wear exquisite leather jackets in winter, which is very good-looking. There are also those places where you can wear long sleeves, and people are born white.

Among them, the most envied is Tie Caiyi, a little girl named "Caiyi" but who looks dark.

She grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and since she was a child, she has been fighting with her brothers and sisters bare-chested, wrestling wrists with them, and fighting. Except for a few perverts in her generation, no one is her opponent.

When she was seven or eight years old, there was no distinction between men and women.

Anyway, every day is fighting, wrestling wrists, throwing stones, and striking iron if it doesn't work. It all ended after a competition.

When she cried and went to the mountain lord to cry why she couldn't pee far, his mountain lord's father turned pale. After punishing those bastards who peed more than their daughters, they also realized that when their daughters are older, there should be a difference between men and women.

Tie Caiyi now thinks about it, did her father hit the iron and beat his head stupidly.

After that, she was isolated from those brothers and did a little light work every day. Carry a bucket of nearly 100 catties to the well that feeds the entire mountain to fetch water, then fill the vat at the door, and then go to deliver food to an uncle.

That's all.

That uncle was thin and thin, and it is said that he was locked up on the Broken Sword Cliff by his father because he helped people who shouldn't have been helped when he was young.

That uncle named Chen Guizhi was different from the other people on Tiejian Mountain, most of the other people in Tiejian Mountain were pimple meat, as black as a lump of carbon. Although Uncle Shi is also dark, he is far worse than those people.

And Uncle Shi is also very thin, with a sheep's beard, and his beard is curled when he speaks, which is very interesting.

He especially likes to listen to his uncle talk about things outside, and he especially envies the Jiangnan women who are greased and powdered in his uncle's mouth and look forward to the building.

Every time Uncle Shi talked about those gentle women, Tie Caiyi would subconsciously look at her black and strong little arms.

Uncle Shi will comfort her.

"Don't look at it, those people are flowers, and they can't stand the wind and rain. You're different, you're the burning charcoal in the sword furnace, and you can burn your own. ”

Well, although she doesn't know if it's comfort. But it's always good to think about, flowers are useless, charcoal is useful after all.

One day, when she was about to deliver food, she was called to the main hall.

Uncle Shi was dressed in plain clothes, with a pair of new straw sandals on his feet, and he didn't look like a person from Tiejian Mountain. He sat down under his father, his thumb hooked on his straw sandals, like a child.

"Senior brother, you see that Shushan let me go to watch the ceremony this time, isn't it ......" Before the words of the mountain lord of Tiejian Mountain were finished, Senior Uncle Chen snorted coldly: "Don't go!" and turned his face to the side, his beard curled, like a child angry and bickering.

The mountain lord could only whisper: "Don't you see that the sword that has been built for more than ten years has reached a critical juncture, and the senior brother really can't pull away, so he can only ......"

Chen Guizhi still looked angry: "What's the matter with me, I don't go anywhere, I like the Broken Sword Cliff, where it is still shaded and can't bask in the sun." ”

When Tie Caiyi saw her father and uncle like this, she could only hold back her laughter.

"Are you really not going?" the mountain lord's voice raised a little.

"No!" Uncle Shi's answer was also very simple.

The mountain lord snorted coldly, turned around and went to the apse, and came out with a jar.

Uncle Shi's nose moved, looking for the source of the fragrance like a dog, and finally set his eyes on the altar in the hand of the mountain owner.

The mountain lord picked up the jar, opened the seal, sniffed it, and then took a sip.

Chen Guizhi looked at it with a blank look.

However, he still stubbornly did not speak, looked at the jar in the hand of the mountain master, and swallowed his saliva.

The mountain lord didn't seem to be used to this taste, frowned, and spit out all the "phew" sounds.

Chen Guizhi's heart twitched, and his face twitched.

The Mountain Lord shook his head. "It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good. "As he spoke, he raised the altar and was about to smash it.

"Is there anything you can say about it, what do you want to do with the wine?" Chen Guiyi stood up, very angry.

"Oh?" said the mountain lord with a smile and placed the wine jar on the coffee table at hand.

Seeing that the mountain lord had put down the altar, Chen Guizhi also sat down angrily.

The two of them didn't speak, and the mountain lord made himself a cup of tea, and he was not in a hurry, and drank it slowly.

After a while, Chen Guizhi finally couldn't help it.

"Tell me, what the hell are you going to do?"

The mountain lord smiled again, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup slowly, and inadvertently touched the jar, which shook, and saw Chen Guizhi's eyelids jump.

"Go to Shushan to watch the ceremony and see what the hell Shushan wants to do?"

Chen Guizhi is rarely serious.

"You're not just going for your broken sword, are you?"

The mountain lord didn't care about the disrespect in Chen Guizhi's mouth at all, but nodded in agreement.

"You are more popular than me when you go to Shushan, and there is still something you need to do. ”

When Chen Guizhi heard this, his face was expressionless: "It's too popular to say that it's too much, didn't that dead lame man hear that he didn't have a very good life in Shushan?" After speaking, he glanced at the mountain master and said, "I'm just not as annoying as you." ”

The mountain lord nodded helplessly.

He approached Chen Guizhi to speak, and subconsciously glanced at Tie Caiyi a few times.

Chen Guizhi also looked at Tie Caiyi and nodded.

The mountain lord turned around and walked up to the main seat, threw the wine on the table to Chen Guizhi, and walked in front of his daughter.

He looked at his daughter, who was as black as a piece of charcoal, and took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms: "Cai'er, your mother left a piece of jade pendant early, you can put it away." ”

Tie Caiyi was at a loss, feeling like her father was about to leave her.

As he spoke, the mountain lord took out another brocade bag, bulging with his pockets.

Touching her daughter's sideburns.

"This is some silver and silver tickets, when you get to the bottom of the mountain, let your Uncle Chen take you to take a good look, buy some if you like, what rouge gouache, good-looking skirts are fine, who said that I only have rough men in Tiejian Mountain, and there are also daughters with tenderness. ”

The mountain lord looked at his daughter, who was similar to his deceased wife, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes.

"Dress yourself up, your mother is much whiter than you. The mountain lord smiled and rubbed his daughter's hair.

Chen Guizhi looked at this scene with envy in his eyes. He took a sip of wine, sighed, and shook his head.

Xu Changan practiced swordsmanship.

Although he said that he didn't carry water, didn't chop wood, didn't wash clothes and didn't cook, he felt that life was more uncomfortable than before.

The cripple gave him a kick as soon as he was upset, and he could have dodged it.

But he didn't dare.

The lame man had also been noticeably impatient lately, and every day he went in and out with his flask, groping around the house, as if to hide something.

A sword rainbow passed by and stopped in the courtyard of the library pavilion.

When the lame man heard the noise, he hurriedly hid the flask, and stumbled down.

Xu Changan also stopped practicing the sword, and two people came down from the sword rainbow, a shriveled old man and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

The old man looked ordinary, just a little darker than the average person, and the girl wore a long blue dress, and her eyes revealed curiosity and fear of the unknown.

Xu Changan looked at the girl.

The girl also looked at Xu Changan in a daze.

The former is because the girl is too dark, and she wears a long dress that is so conspicuous.

The latter is because Xu Changan is too white, whiter than the girls she saw in the city.

The shriveled old man's eyes stopped at Xu Changan and Xiao Bai above his head for a moment, and then shouted at the door: "Cripple Li, don't hide, you can smell the aroma of wine from afar." ”

The lame man walked out, shook the jug, which was only about half a jug, and threw it away.

"Your nose is smarter than a dog's. ”

Xu Changan clearly remembered that he had just given the lame man a pot of wine, a full pot of wine.

The shriveled old man opened the flask and took a big sip.

The cripple looked at Tie Caiyi, the timid black girl.

"Who is this?"

"My brother's daughter. ”

The lame man said "oh": "No wonder it is a little similar to the old man." ”

"Chang'an, hurry up and take your Uncle Chen and the black girl around and take a look at Shushan!"

Chen Guizhi's mouth pouted: "Cripple Li, how do you speak, what black girl? When you saw her mother, you saw her mother the same way a mouse looked at a cat." ”

The cripple did not deny it, but could only laugh dryly.

"Chang'an, take this carbon girl around. ”

......

Xu Changan was about to go out with Tie Caiyi, Chen Guizhi's eyes were fixed, and his nose was sniffed.

"Wait, you dead lame, didn't you hide the wine well, you smell it from afar. ”

The lame man hurriedly said, "Chang'an, hurry up and take them out to have a look." ”

Chen Guizhi ignored it and wanted to break into the library directly.

"Cripple, what do you mean? Is it the way of hospitality in Shushan?" said and was about to break in.

"The ancients said that there were friends who came from afar, and they did not refuse. The cripple shouted.

"Chang'an, close the door!"
