The hunters were gone, and the air was quiet. Ah Gou quietly came to Feng Cripple and stood silent.

Feng Cripple also drank too much. He held the table with one hand and pointed to the dog with the other. said: "You have cleaned up all these plates and chopsticks for Lao Tzu, and then you can go to sleep." Lao Tzu went to sleep first, remember, you have to clean it all up. Tomorrow, if Lao Tzu wakes up and sees that you haven't cleaned up, watch Lao Tzu break your legs. ”

Feng lame staggered to the door of the thatched hut, he held on to the door frame, turned around, and said, "Tomorrow Lao Tzu will get up early." You remember to wake me up. ”

"I see. Dad. Dog agreed.

The nights are getting cooler and quieter.

Ah Gou was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks alone, and the snoring of Feng Cripple and the sound of the wind from the depths of the desert were in his ears.

The desert is short of water, and the entire village has to go to the stream at the foot of the mountain to get water. From the thatched hut to the stream, it is a three-mile walk. The dog carried the bucket and went to the creek to fetch water.

The barrel is huge, and it's going to reach the dog's chest. The dog can only lift his hand high to get the barrel off the ground. When I went, the barrel was empty, and the dog held the barrel with both hands, and it was not too difficult. When he came back, the wooden bucket filled with water was very troublesome for the dog. For dogs, it's a big challenge. Along the way, the barrel knocked his knee from time to time, and when he reached the grass hut, his knee was broken by the barrel. The bucket of water that came in was only half a bucket.

Wait until the dishes and chopsticks are cleaned. It's going to be dawn too. Ah Dog stretched, he was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he slapped himself twice in the face. Before Feng Cripple went to sleep, he explained that he had to wake him up early. Ah Gou knew that after dawn, if he didn't wake up Daddy. Daddy's slap will knock his teeth off.

Dog's worries are not unfounded. Before they came here, Feng Cripple asked Ah Gou to bring foot washing water, and the foot washing water brought by Ah Gou was a little cold. Feng lame kicked Ah Gou's ribs off. Therefore, for Feng Cripple's words, Ah Gou did not dare to disobey at all.

The morning dawns in the desert. The last star in the sky fell, and the sky dawned.

After Ah Gou woke up Feng Cripple, Feng Cripple did not sleep enough. He asked Ah Gou to cook the meal, and he slept again.

After breakfast, Feng Cripple took Ah Dog to a nearby market called "Ghost Don't Disturb".

The place where Ah Dog lives is called "Taoyuan Village", on the border of the Black Tooth Country. The village is remote, and there is a large mountain to pass it away, and the people here are often forgotten by the bustling red dust on the other side of the mountain. Except once every three years, when the magistrate came to collect the money and grain, he would drive a horse-drawn cart and pull away the goods that had been handed over. Usually, no one comes to "Taoyuan Village" at all.

The "Ghost Do Not Disturb" market is more than ten miles away from "Taoyuan Village", and usually, when people here want to buy daily necessities, they will carry a bamboo basket on their backs, pass through the "Red Dust Canyon", and then walk on the five-mile road, becoming "Ghost Do Not Disturb".

Today, when he went to "Ghost Don't Disturb", Feng Cripple bought a cauldron and a sledgehammer. After going back, Feng Cripple put the cauldron on the back. Then, Feng Cripple found the only person in "Taoyuan Village" who could write and wrote the words "blacksmith shop" on a wooden board.

From then on, Feng Cripple became Feng Blacksmith.

In addition to being bad to his children, Blacksmith Feng is very good to the villagers. Not only is he kind to speak, but sometimes, the villagers ask Blacksmith Feng to make some hunting knives and arrows and other things, and Blacksmith Feng does not take their money.

"It's enough to trouble you that contemptible people come to live here. Where can I ask for your money? This is a phrase that Feng Blacksmith often says.

In addition to crafting Orion's tools. The main job of the blacksmith Feng is to make knives and swords. Especially the sword made by Feng Blacksmith, the blade is thin and the sword is sharp. In Zhang Orion's words, the sword body is light and thin, like two autumn tears, and it is very beautiful.

Every time he built a sword, Blacksmith Feng would ask Ah Gou to buy a big red rooster for "ghost not bothering". Blacksmith Feng washed the blade of the sword with the blood of the big red rooster.

"Only a sword baptized with blood is a real sword. Blacksmith Feng held the chicken blood in one hand and the long sword in the other, and said very seriously.

Due to the inconvenience of Feng Blacksmith's legs, the sword he made would be sold by Ah Gou to "ghost do not disturb". For each sword, Blacksmith Feng has set a price for Ah Gou. Ah Dog can only be sold at a price higher than the price set by Blacksmith Feng, but not lower than the price set by him.

On this day, Blacksmith Feng threw two swords to Ah Gou.

"The long sword sells for two taels of silver, and the short sword sells for one tael. Today you have to sell it to Lao Tzu, if you can't sell it, you won't come back. "Blacksmith Feng's words are not much, but they are all very real.

Ah Gou was about to ask Blacksmith Feng why the long one was two taels, and the short one was one tael. After Feng Cripple finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the grass house, without giving Ah Gou a chance to ask questions.

"Ghost does not disturb" is small, but it is very lively. People from all over the world come here to trade.

Ah Dog came here every three or five days to buy swords, so everyone in the market knew him. Gradually, Ah Gou became less shy, and he learned from Liu Daring, who sold pork next to him, that the key to buying something is not how good your things are, but whether you can shout.

For example, if his pork is all fat, he will say that his meat is braised and not greasy, and if it is bone, he will say that his meat is the best choice for sweet and sour pork ribs. In a word, there are no bad goods, only stores that don't shout.

Under the edification of Liu Daring, Ah Gou also learned to shout. For example, an ordinary sword, a dog will say that it is blowing hair and breaking hair, and sharpening iron like clay. Of course, the two words he knew were still taught to him by Feng Cripple.

"Boy, can your sword really sharpen iron like clay? I think you're bragging. Ah Gou's eyes were wrong, and a black-robed Taoist stood in front of him. Ah Gou looked up and saw a black-robed Taoist with crooked eyes and slanted eyebrows and a long bucktooth standing in front of him.

"Where are you from, why didn't I see you?" asked Gou.

The black-robed Taoist smiled gloomily, and then pointed to the sky with his finger. Ah Gou looked up, and there were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. Ah Gou understood what the black-robed Taoist meant, and the black-robed Taoist said that he came from heaven, but Ah Gou didn't believe it.

"You're a person who brags so much. Ah Gou said with a smile.

The black-robed Daoist ignored Ah Gou's words, he smiled and asked, "Boy, is your sword very powerful?"

Ah Gou nodded solemnly and said, "Of course it's very powerful." ”

"Can you kill people with this sword?" the black-robed Taoist continued.

Ah Gou looked left and right, and he saw the board used by Liu Dadao to sell pork on the side. Ah Gou's eyes rolled, and he thought of a solution. He took the long sword from the black-robed Taoist's hand, turned around and walked towards the board, and under the gaze of the black-robed Taoist and Liu Daring, Ah Gou raised the sword in his hand and cut off one of the feet of the board.

Liu Daring quit. He walked up to Ah Gou in three or two steps, grabbed Ah Gou's clothes, and said angrily: "Dog, are you kid looking for death?"

"Uncle, you are angry. He didn't believe that my sword could kill, I just showed him that my sword was powerful. Ah Dog explained.

Ah Gou often comes here to sell swords, and he has long been familiar with Liu Daring, and Liu Daring will not really beat Ah Gou. He frightened Ah Gou twice, then let go of Ah Dog and turned his gaze to the black-robed Taoist.

"I said, "You really want this sword?" asked Liu Daring.

"Poor Dao wants this sword. However, Poor Dao felt that his sword could not kill the dead, so Poor Dao was a little hesitant to buy this sword. The black-robed Daoist shook his head and said.

"My sword has cut down such a thick plank, and you still say you can't kill people?" Ah Gou picked up the wooden plank on the ground that he looked at with his sword, handed it to the black-robed Taoist, and questioned the black-robed Taoist loudly.

The black-robed Daoist smiled and said, "What does your sword mean if you cut down the plank? Poor Dao wants to know if your sword can kill people? Otherwise, you can kill someone with this sword now." If you can kill someone, I'll buy your sword. ”

After listening to the words of the black-robed Taoist, Ah Gou didn't know what to say.

Liu Daring pulled Ah Dog and whispered: "Don't pay attention to him, I think these people must be crazy." ”

The black-robed Taoist smiled slightly and said, "Young man, you are not authentic." How can you deceive people at a young age? I think you kid is a thief and a thief, you must have no parents to raise you. Today, Poor Dao will say two words to you on behalf of your parents, and you must not lie when you sell things in the future. The one who lies is like a thief, the most shameful. ”

The insults of the black-robed Daoist completely angered Ah Gou. He broke free of the hand that Liu Daring was holding him, ran to the black-robed Taoist angrily, tilted his head, and asked loudly: "I didn't lie, why are you scolding me?"

"Okay. You're not lying, you're going to kill someone right now and show it to the poor road. The black-robed Taoist looked at Ah Gou with disdain and said, "Poor Dao is standing in front of you, if you have the ability, you can stab me with the long sword in your hand." If you can stab me, I confess that you are not lying. ”

The words of the black-robed Taoist stunned Ah Gou. Ah Gou thought for a while and said, "I don't know you, I can't kill you." ”

"It's not that you can't kill me. You can't kill me. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Poor Dao just said, you can only lie." The sword in your hand can't kill at all. ”

"You, you ......" The words of the black-robed Taoist completely angered Ah Gou. Ah Gou pointed at the black-robed Taoist with his finger, not knowing how to fight back.

"What am I, if you have the ability, you will kill me?" said the black-robed Taoist, "I will just stand here and not move, if you can kill me, it will prove that you are not lying." Otherwise, you're a bad boy who can only lie. ”

After speaking, the black-robed Taoist smiled at Ah Gou. The anger in Ah Gou's heart was about to explode. The blood in his body rushed to his head, and his eyes were a little dazed. He saw a large patch of blood, and many human heads, some lying in the stinking ditch, some hanging from the trees. The heads were laughing at him and shouting at him: You're a liar, you're a liar.

"I'm not a liar. ”

Dog shouted. At the same time, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at the black-robed Taoist. At the same time as Ah Gou raised his sword, Liu Daring pounced on Ah Gou. The Ah Dog Sword was only an inch away from the heart of the black-robed Daoist, and Liu Daring threw Ah Gou to the ground. The sword in Ah Gou's hand fell to the ground with the clothes of the black-robed Taoist.

"Stinky boy, are you crazy. Liu boldly yelled at the dog. "In broad daylight, you kill. Do you want to go to jail? ”

"It's because he looks down on me that I'm going to kill him. Ah Gou said aggrievedly.

"He's a ......"

Liu Daring was originally pressed on Ah Gou's body, he wanted to scold the black-robed Taoist for being a fool, and when he spoke, he turned his head and saw that the black-robed Taoist was gone. Liu Daring's words didn't come out.

Liu boldly got up, patted his clothes, and said, "You are unlucky today, you go home, and come back tomorrow to sell." ”

Ah Gou also got up, picked up the sword on the ground, looked at Liu Daring and said, "Uncle, I'm really not a liar. ”

"I know you're not a liar. Liu Daring stroked Ah Gou's little head with his hand and said, "That person is a fool, his words don't count, we all know that you are a good boy." ”

Liu Daring's words gave Ah Gou great comfort. Although the dog is young, it has a very good character. Moreover, Ah Gou is most annoyed by others saying that he is a liar, because Ah Gou often remembers what Mu Rong said to him: I believe in you, you are the most honest person. As a result, Dog made honesty an important trait in his life.

Liu Daring cut off a piece of pork with a knife, handed it to Ah Gou and said, "You didn't sell the sword today." Your dad will definitely scold you. You take the meat home, and your dad may not be so angry. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu. ”

Ah Gou took the pork from Liu Daring's hand and went home with his sword.
