"I remember that my master mentioned that the Nine Blades Sword was brought out of the Wu Clan's tomb, because he couldn't recognize what material it was, he once brought it to the inexplicable palm. Shen Li said, "At that time, I inexplicably counted the best materials for building blades in his opinion. Later, my master also told us about it. ”

"I see. Li Mu nodded, "If that's the case, I'm afraid the situation that the Yao family will face is much more sinister than I imagined." After all, the sword of the Red Clay Sword Furnace is famous all over the world. Li Mu carried Shen Li on his back and raised a piece of firewood for lighting. They were going to find a place to continue resting. Yi Fan carried a large bag and followed behind him.

The three of them held a fire and walked in the night.

Li Mu looked at the road ahead and asked, "So, what material is the Nine Thousand Sword made of?"

"I don't know. Shen Li replied.

"I don't know?" Li Mu was a little confused.

Shen Li leaned on Li Mu's back and said, "The master of the Red Clay Sword Furnace, the Heaven Mending Hand inexplicably doesn't know what material the Nine Thousand Sword is made of. ”

"And this kind of thing?" Li Mu said in a low voice.

Behind him, Yi Fan said: "There's nothing strange about it. Inexplicably, after the red clay sword furnace was built, it began to spread all over the world. Before that, there were many people in the world who forged swords and swords. Like the one surnamed Xu we met in Yacheng before, his family, Drawing Sword Villa, is a more famous place. There are also some scattered craftsmen and masters, who are vague and hard to find. However, later, together with the Red Clay Sword Furnace, no one could compare to the Red Clay Sword Furnace. ”

Li Mu thought of Yi Fan's family heirloom Wind Rebellion Sword, so he asked, "...... Wind Rebellion Sword?"

Yi Fan subconsciously glanced down, and then said nonchalantly: "My father died early, so I don't know." ”

"I'm sorry. Li Mu said.

"Nothing. What should I do tonight?" Yi Fan said and yawned.

Li Mu looked around, "Change places to rest, and wait for dawn before leaving." ”

"Okay, what do you say? I'm so sleepy. ”

“......”

The three of them chose another sheltered place, lit a fire, and spent the night on fire. Next, they continued to Huangzhu County.

Although Li Mu is a native of Shengzhou, he doesn't know much about Huangzhu County. In fact, to put it in detail, he has never been out of Yinlian County since he was a child. He and his father Li Lie have always been in Yinlian County, guarding the small teahouse. They have no relatives from other places, and they have no old friends from other places. Li Mu didn't think about leaving Shengzhou to go on a rampage.

This year, he went to Shuzhou to participate in the summer test of the martial arts academy, and it was the first time that Li Mu left Shengzhou.

Li Mu, who set foot in Huangzhu County for the first time, also felt a little unfamiliar. Unlike the flatness of Yinlian County, Huangzhu County is all mountainous. They arrived in Yanxiang County, which is perched on the gentle slope of a mountain. On the back of this gentle slope, you can see another high mountain. The top of the mountain is a pale yellow.

Li Mu looked into the distance and found that the mountains were all yellow bamboos, layered in one place. When blown by the wind, it is like the surface of the water, and waves are waved.

Yi Fan looked at the yellow bamboo and said, "I heard someone in the gang say that the yellowing of bamboo leaves is a sign of death." No, it should be said that the dead bamboo is yellow, is it that all the mountains and fields are dead bamboo?"

"But those on this mountain don't look like they're dead. Shen Li pointed to the mountain and said.

"Find a place to eat first, ask these bamboos, and by the way, ask the Chai family how to go. Li Mu didn't dwell on the issues they were arguing about, he walked forward with the two of them. After seven days, the injuries on Yi Fan and Shen Li's bodies have healed. So they all carried themselves on their backs and walked in salute.

The three of them found an inn to eat, and Yi Fan was much more particular about food than Li Mu.

Yi Fan ordered a dish of yellow bamboo shoots with local characteristics in the inn. Strange to say, Li Mu had only heard of spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots before, and had never heard of autumn bamboo shoots in autumn. After asking, I learned that this is the difference between the local yellow bamboo and other places. The branches and leaves of this yellow bamboo are all tender yellow, and if it is in bloom, it will turn tender green. And after turning green, it is not far from dying. Moreover, the time of yellow bamboo shoots is also different from other places, and the bamboo shoots often appear in August and September.

Yellow bamboo shoots are not yellow, peel off the coating, and the bamboo shoots inside are black. So this plate of fried meat with yellow bamboo shoots is also a black plate.

Shen Li picked up a piece of yellow bamboo shoot with chopsticks with a little disgust and asked, "Can this be eaten?"

Yi Fan had already put a piece in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's very good!"

Li Mu glanced at Shen Li with a smile, and also picked up a piece and tasted it. I found that Yi Fan was right, this yellow bamboo shoot tasted slightly bitter in the mouth, but if you chew it slowly, there will be a umami taste that begins to permeate the mouth, and then the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes.

While the three of them were eating, Li Mu took the opportunity of Xiao Er's food to provoke a conversation and ask about the Chai family. The Chai family is also a big family in Yanxiang County, even if you look at Huangzhu County, it is also the number one. So Xiao Er also came as soon as he opened his mouth.

After asking Xiao Er, Li Mu knew that he had also caught up with a good time. The Chai family is going to marry on the sixteenth of this month, and today is the fifteenth, and the entire Yanxiang City has already fallen into a joyful atmosphere.

Speaking of the Chai family, the second child is full of praise. The Chai family is named Chai Murong, although the Chai family has a big business, but the Chai family has no smug at all. On the contrary, the Chai family treats people in harmony on weekdays, and advocates for the rich side and the benefit of the party. The men, women and children around Yanxiang City are all praising each other.

There was originally a well-known old scholar in Yanxiang City, Mr. Yang, who opened a private school to teach, but Mr. Yang was old and sick, and his energy was also lacking. After the Chai family found out, they sent someone to repair Mr. Yang's private school and expand it into a academy. He paid for Mr. Yang to be the owner of the academy, and then invited Mr. Yang from other places to teach.

Not only the children of the Chai family can study here, but also the school-age children in the city, as long as they want to learn, they can come to study with some bundles. If the family is poor, you can borrow some tuition from the Chai family first, and wait until you become a talent in the future, or make money, and then repay it. The interest charged by the Chai family is very low, so this has become a great good deed for the benefit of the township.

This matter was also rewarded by the Shengzhou government at that time.

In addition to the academy, there is also the problem of water intake in Yanxiang County, which is also solved by the Chai family.

Yanxiang County is located in the mountains, and the water is all drawn by the mountain streams, but one year there was a major drought, and the mountain streams dried up. Water has become a problem for people in the city. In order to solve this problem, the county government decided to mobilize the people to dig a well in the mountain. The Chai family was the first to respond and donated a large sum of money for well exploration and digging.

There are also almshouses, the adoption of orphans and widows, the opening of warehouses to reduce the price of rice in disaster years, the giving of relief, and so on. One by one, Xiao Er is like a few treasures, telling the story.

Although Li Mu knew this kind of thing, and the Ning family had done more openly and secretly in the entire Shengzhou, he couldn't help but appreciate the Chai family's righteous deeds.

Yi Fan also sighed on the side: "That's really a wonder in everyone's youth." As soon as he said this, he found that Xiao Er was a little displeased. Yi Fan was surprised, he didn't expect that Xiao Er would defend the Chai family's eldest young Chai Murong like this. It can be seen that the Chai family is indeed very popular in Yanxiang City.

Yi Fan is also a person who can be a person, he smiled and discharged ten copper plates, then reached out and put all the copper plates in the palm of his hand, and finally put them in the small second-hand. "The word wonderful, in our place, is the highest praise. ”

When Xiao Er heard him say this, he smiled and put the copper coin in his pocket. He said, "The guest officer is from out of town, I don't know where it is?"

Yi Fan avoided the truth and continued to talk nonsense, "We came here to attend the wedding of the Chai family." ”

"So, it's a guest from afar? Yo, that's a bit of a snubbing. Xiao Er hurriedly said.

Li Mu looked at him with a slightly apologetic appearance, and it seemed that he was really a little reluctant to do so. Xiao Er continued: "Do you want a room for the two of you? Because of the large number of guests, the guest rooms in the city, no matter how big or small, have been rented by the Chai family. As long as you go to Chai's house and register your name, you can live in a small shop. ”

"Okay, okay, let's visit Chai's house first, and then we'll come back. Let's eat first. Yi Fan said casually.

"Good, good. The three-person inn is slow to use. "Xiao Er is also a good looker. knew the meaning of the guest official's words in front of him, so he retreated first.

"The Chai family, it's unexpected. Shen Li whispered.

Li Mu ate the food and said, "It should be very easy to talk." ”

Yi Fan shrugged his shoulders, "It's hard to say, there are a lot of people with one set on the face." Especially these rich people, the things behind their backs are deep. ”

Regarding Yi Fan's words, Li Mu was noncommittal.

The three of them had a full meal at the inn, and after eating, Li Mu suddenly thought of a question. "Xiao Er said just now that the inns in the city have been chartered by the Chai family? So what should we do? We are not real guests. ”

Yi Fan picked his teeth with a wooden toothpick, he patted his stomach and said, "What are you afraid of, on the day of the Chai family's wedding, I'm afraid there will be a flowing water banquet." When there are many people, it is a great opportunity for us to eat and drink. ”

"Huh?"

"Make up an identity, go in and say congratulations, sit down and eat. On a day like this, will they still be able to drive people out?" Yi Fan said triumphantly.

Shen Li looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why do you feel like you're so skilled?

"Nonsense, I'm just talking about things. I heard it, you know? I heard it. Yi Fan hurriedly denied it, he pointed to the food on the table, "Are you done eating? I don't have any money on me. I'll have to find a dealer to redeem that silver ticket. ”

"Okay. Li Mu nodded, "After redeeming the silver ticket, let's go around the city, the inn is wrapped, and there should be others who take this opportunity to make a fortune." Let's go find a household. ”
