There was an incomprehensible expression on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he seemed to know this thin young man, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Li Shuishan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, everything is left to fate." ”

He didn't understand what Li Shuishan said, so he dragged him to the drinking place that was still a little familiar, and the old guys sitting here who were still drinking looked at Ah Gan with a puzzled face, as well as Li Shuishan, who was looking left and right from time to time in the same place.

One of them, the white-bearded old man sitting at the first table, said, "You two want to drink too?"

"Drinking?" Li Shuishan responded, and Ah Gan next to him lowered his head and muttered in his mouth, as if he didn't agree with what the old man said. Meng Yinwan, who came out of the house and was still greeting the guests, opened her mouth and asked, "You want to drink and sit down." ”

Li Shuishan took Ah Gan to sit down, everything was so calm, but after that, the rest of the old customers who drank were a little sneering at the milky young man, and did not exaggerate that he had the ability to never walk and float after three cups, and his eyes stared directly at the two teenagers on the side.

Li Shuishan also said without exaggeration: "I'm young, and I can't compare to you old naughty boys. I've been on the road for so many years, and I've eaten for so many years. I'm not more, no less, just a glass. ”

"A cup?" The white-bearded old man was a little unconvinced, and questioned what Li Shuishan had just said, and laughed: "Don't say it, I've been drinking this wine for so long, and it's the first time a teenager has said that a cup of wine can be seen in a hurry, and everything is so calm." ”

Li Shuishan stopped talking, and waited until Mengyinwan, who delivered tea, took two glasses of wine and put them on the table. He picked up the wine, clasped the bottom of the cup with his fingers, held it with both hands, looked like an extremely experienced drinker, glanced at the crowd around him who were eating wine, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Goo dong goo dong ....

The voice of the wine said where his Adam's apple was, his voice trembled slightly, there was not a drop left, he put down his glass, and smiled slightly.

His face was not red, his heart was not fast, and he didn't care about the crowd, staring at it with big eyes. Among them, there is no one Lao Yao, whom he admires very much, and he clapps his palms, as if he has not seen such a person who can drink for several years. He stood up and asked Li Shuishan's name.

Li Shuishan ignored it and was about to leave here with Ah Gan, and Meng Yinwan, who was watching the two leave at the counter, walked back to his house. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, she hugged her head, and muttered, "Who are these two people?"

Ah Gan was wearing a linen dress, the straw sandals on his feet were a little worn out, there was a tear mole under his eyes, and he didn't know how many times he cried in the dark, but just like he was weak like a woman, waiting for Li Shuishan to take him to the pottery hall. He said: "So you want to bring me here, I know that this is the happiest job in town, and the wages are very good, but I am a little tired." ”

"Is this the place you most want to work from?"

He nodded and said happily, "Yes." ”

Under the big sign at the door, a spider hung down, revealing a fiery red body, and got into the archway.

"It's like a home away from home. Li Shuishan guessed for the first time that this place was the place that Ah Gan wanted to go in the most, and it was also his final destination. And it was all like a doomed fate, encounters, encounters, painful experiences, disappointments, ends.

But there are no memories of him here, only a future that he has not had. This future appeared in Ah Gan's mind at this time, but he just didn't understand what he had been pursuing?

It was as if he wanted to give up this previous pain to embrace the next step of his life, and this life in the trajectory of his destiny was like an existence that he had longed for a long time.

He thought about it for a long time and decided to take him inside to have a look. There was no one working today, and it was renovated, and there were renovation workers who went in through the back door and went out through the back door, not paying the slightest attention to their appearance at the same time, just continuing according to the work they should have done, and waiting for them to come to the small pavilion on the side.

A person who was in charge of the work next to him walked out, glanced at Ah Gan more, and said, "You kid, you have been here all the time ago, watching us do things. People don't know about it and think we're working with children. If you like it, when the renovation is complete, go to the new owner of the pottery hall and ask her to give you a decent job. ”

When Ah Gan heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately took Li Shuishan out of the house, which did not affect the progress of their work in the slightest. The group of children under the tree saw them walk out and fled with disgust.

Li Shuishan smiled, at this time, he hadn't seen Agan's mother in the distance, she was holding her clothes and wanted to go to the river. Her eyes were bright, and she urged this Ah Gan not to stay outside for more and go back early. When she has done her laundry, she will cook for him. Li Shuishan asked, "What about your father?"

Ah Gan said in frustration: "My father has left, and I don't know where he went. He said he would come back. ”

"Come back?" Li Shuishan was really a little surprised, but he frowned at this familiar everything, he seemed to understand something, but he still told Ah Gan, don't let your father come back. He was still puzzled, as if all this seemed to him to be inexplicable. What's even more inexplicable is that he said so many words to this young man.

With a pat on the head, Li Shuishan left.

The place where he went was the cast iron place.

......

There was a sound of hammering iron in the door, and the big man who was sitting inside smoking a cigarette had his fluffy hair like a layer of oil and water, shining in the firelight. He got up and picked up an iron billet behind him, the third one he was not satisfied with. Every failed product he would put in the furnace and fire it quietly, until one by one it was close to the perfect body in his heart.

Knock knock knock.....

Li Shuishan walked in gently, and he saw a vague figure in the dark hut.

"Coming?"

Li Shuishan stopped, he breathed quietly, and said, "Elder Jiang." ”

"Huh?" he turned his head and didn't answer, but in the cramped room, apart from the still burning fire, there was only the sound of their breathing. He grabbed a blank with one hand and struck it hard with a hammer. The sound of banging echoed throughout the area, once, twice, three times...... Until finally the iron was formed, it was a sword blank. He smiled slightly and said to Li Shuishan, "Do you want to try it?"

"Try?" He didn't know what Jiang Lao wanted to say, so he heard him pick up his sword blank and wave it in the air, leaving an afterimage in the air. He wiped his fingers at the sword blank, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh and blood.

The blood flowing from his fingers turned into water vapor on it, and the sword body gradually calmed down, and there was no heat, and he muttered, "I know, it turns out that I have forged so many swords, and only my blood can make this sword the sword in my heart." ”

The body of the sword was less than a meter, but there were traces of blood flow on it, and when you looked closely, the blood was slowly rising, turning into a blood mist.

He laughed.

One threw out this sword, threw it in Li Shuishan's hand, and said, "Take this sword and kill all those who disobey your heart." ”
