Chapter 6: The Stone Blacksmith Shop

Although the young blacksmith apprentice enthusiastically recommended those bells and whistles to Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng didn't plan to buy anything, he came to inquire about information.

Although the blacksmith apprentice initially refused sternly, claiming that the blacksmith master had not seen anyone, Bai Xiaosheng had been treated with the highest standard after paying a silver ingot, and it was obvious that this kind of hard currency was more effective than the likes of "knowing with emotion and reasoning".

Bai Xiaosheng chose this blacksmith shop not without reason, this blacksmith shop is called Shiji, it is the largest business in the entire Songmen City, one-third of the blacksmith shops in the entire Songmen City are branches of this blacksmith shop, it can be said that the master of this blacksmith shop is both a craftsman and a businessman, compared to those who hold "blacksmiths can only be famous when they play magic weapons" The so-called blacksmiths who live in small shops and concentrate on ironwork are much easier to communicate, not to mention that Bai Xiaosheng doesn't think that he can get any useful information from those blacksmiths who concentrate on ironwork behind closed doors.

Bai Xiaosheng was introduced into the backyard by the blacksmith apprentice, there was a stone pavilion in the backyard, Bai Xiaosheng was taken to the stone pavilion by the blacksmith apprentice to sit down, and the apprentice bent down slightly: "Now is the time for the master to build weapons, so I can't bother, and I invite the guests to stay here for a while." Then he turned and left.

This move made Bai Xiaosheng stunned for a moment and couldn't help but speak: "You are a blacksmith apprentice, right?" The apprentice turned around and looked puzzled when he heard this: "It's true, do you have any questions?" Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, the identity of an apprentice is equivalent to a senior miscellaneous servant in various industries, and all the dirty work is done by the apprentice. Often, some people with some backgrounds and some savings in the family go directly to the door to seek teachers, while those who are poor in the family can only start from apprentices, and the gap between the rich and the poor is vividly reflected here. Although there are masters and craftsmen who pay attention to their character, but this kind of people are still a minority after all, the so-called penny is difficult to defeat heroes, and most of the so-called iron-striking masters do not mind charging a few more apprentices.

In Bai Xiaosheng's impression, blacksmith apprentices are all from poor backgrounds, they can't get any good education, and they should be people with vulgar behavior, but he can't say this kind of hurtful words anyway: "It's okay, you go down." The blacksmith apprentice bowed slightly in response, then turned to leave.

Bai Xiaosheng untied the cage he was carrying and put it aside, took out bamboo slips and bamboo pens from the cage, and wrote on them what he had seen and heard along the way, killing time, until a heavy footstep sounded from far and near, Bai Xiaosheng put down the things in his hand and looked at the comer.

The man was a square-faced man, who looked to be in his forties, in the prime of life, and his beard and hair had been shaved clean, so as not to be ignited by the sparks splashed during the striking of iron, and even the eyebrows were burned by the sparks all year round. The man had a shocking fire burn scar on his head, the scar extended to his left eye, his left eye was covered by a black blindfold, it seemed that he had been severely injured by the accident and lost his left eye, the big man was wearing a wide and thick deerskin apron, and he also wore heavy gloves on his hands, and he wore nothing under the apron except for the pants that covered the vital parts, and a huge bamboo water cylinder hung around his waist, and sweat rolled down the surface of the big man's body like a stream.

Dahan walked to the stone pavilion and sat opposite Bai Xiaosheng, opened the water cylinder hanging on his waist, raised his head and grunted a few mouthfuls, and then wiped the stains on his chin: "Is it your kid looking for me?" Bai Xiaosheng clenched his fists: "I have heard the name of Master Shi for a long time, and I came to pay a visit." ”

The reputation of Shiji in Songmen City is really good, and it has even spread thousands of miles, and many people from the rivers and lakes have come to Shiji to place orders and ask to build their favorite weapons. The Shi family can be said to be a forging family, building weapons for generations, and it is already the fifth generation of Master Shi, and Bai Xiaosheng is not flattering this person when he says this.

This person does have some skills.

Master Shi pursed his lips disdainfully: "I hate you crepe and sour guys the most, you have one set on your face and another in your heart, who knows what you say about me in your heart now." After saying that, he suddenly slapped the stone table, and the muffled sound of the stone table startled Bai Xiaosheng, and Master Shi suddenly stood up, approaching an eight-foot high-speed iron tower in front of Bai Xiaosheng: " Listen to the boy, if it weren't for the stupid boy at home who was stupid and accepted your silver, Lao Tzu would not have been too lazy to come, Lao Tzu, I came to give you an explanation, lest you not be good at dealing with the above, you listen to me, no matter who sent you, I dare to be the same sentence, Lao Tzu can only make swords, what to do in the vault secret room for me to find the old guy of the Gongsun family, don't bother me. After that, he turned his head and left: "Someone! Send off!" The blacksmith apprentice just now didn't know what happened, and he walked a few steps outside the stone pavilion and made a gesture to lead outside: "Please." ”

Shi Dangdang was very skilled in this set of rhetoric, and he spoke quickly and urgently, and he was stunned not to give Bai Xiaosheng a chance to speak, seeing that Shi Dangdang was about to leave, Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly spoke: "Master Shi, please stay!" Shi Dang didn't reply: "Don't stay, Lao Tzu has a lot to do, I don't have time to chirp with you and waste saliva." ”

Bai Xiaosheng couldn't cry or laugh, this Shi master's temperament was too dry, he didn't listen to anyone finish speaking, seeing Shi Gandang walking farther and farther, he had no choice but to take an object from his waist and throw it out, this thing turned into a black shadow and smashed into the back of Shi Gandang's head under the angry gaze of the blacksmith apprentice.

Shi Dangdang was walking, and he heard the apprentice behind him exclaim: "Master beware!" Shi Dangdang only felt that there was wind in the back of his head, and at the last moment, he turned around and grabbed the flying thing in his hand, grinning angrily: "Good boy, you are angry and use a hidden weapon...... Huh?"

Shi Dangdang felt that the touch in his hands was wrong, he had been playing with hammers and iron ingots since he was a child, these hands did not know how much metal he had touched, coupled with their Shi family's unique exercises, these hands had already reached the level of the so-called destruction of gold and jade, even compared to the so-called iron sand palms and red iron hands on the rivers and lakes, even if the best fine iron entered his hands, he kneaded as much as he wanted like dough. But just now he used a little force in his palm but was resisted, Shi Dangdang did not believe in evil and used force again, the thing in his palm still showed no signs of deformation, and he spread out his hand to see what was in his palm under curiosity, and at this glance, the whole person seemed to be pointed out and fixed in place.

The apprentice next to him didn't have enough eyesight, and when he saw his master master standing motionless, he thought it was Bai Xiaosheng's plot, so he immediately took off the forging hammer from his waist and rushed to Bai Xiaosheng, who was still standing in the stone pavilion, and raised his hand to smash it: "What did you do to my master!"

Originally, the blacksmith apprentice was close to Bai Xiaosheng, and after a few steps, he stepped forward, and the forging hammer in his hand was about to knock on Bai Xiaosheng's temple from the bottom up, and just at the last moment, a burst of shouts came: "Stop!"

The forging hammer was still two fingers away from Bai Xiaosheng, and the wind brought by the forging hammer blurred Bai Xiaosheng's face. The apprentice turned his head to look at Shi Gandang and was surprised and delighted: "Master, are you okay?" "Lao Tzu is fine, but if you kid doesn't put away the toys in your hand, you'll have something to do." Hearing this, the blacksmith apprentice hurriedly put away the hammer.

Shi Dangdang took three steps and made two steps and ran in front of Bai Xiaosheng and arched his hand: "Shi Dangdang, the fifth-generation heir of the Shi family, can't compensate you, I didn't recognize your identity blindly, please forgive me." ”

After a while, Bai Xiaosheng didn't respond, Shi Dangdang thought that Bai Xiaosheng was still angry, so he could only give up his hand again, this time his head was lower, and he shouted loudly: "Please forgive me!"

Still no movement.

Shi Dangdang stopped doing it, straightened up and made a stinky face: "Boy, do you still want Lao Tzu to kneel for you?"

The apprentice on the side shouted timidly: "Master Master......" Shi Dangdang looked over impatiently: "What are you doing?" The apprentice pointed at Bai Xiaosheng: "He passed out while standing......"
