Ebony Town is located in Jiangnan Province, Dazhoujiangnan, Qinghe County, Qingtian Province.

Because it is far away from the county seat, it is not convenient to come and go, so they are all familiar faces, and it is rare to see strangers.

Today, Chen Dazhui in the blacksmith shop in the town saw an unkempt face, like a boy who had fled.

"I said baby, what's wrong with you, the family is in trouble?"

Although he was a living man, the simple old blacksmith did not drive him away, but made a bowl of noodles and sent it over.

There's no way, it's so smelly and dirty, it's blocked at the door and you can't do business.

"It's true that I'm suffering, my home is gone, my relatives are gone. Even in this world, there is not a single person I know. ”

Wang Yu gulped down the noodles, and did not forget to be grateful: "Thank you, uncle, I have been walking in the mountains for a few months, and I have eaten a lot of grass, and I finally have a hot meal today." ”

Chen Dazhui took the bowl and said with some sympathy: "That's really a sin, boy, do you have any plans for the future?"

He looked Wang Yu up and down.

He is quite tall, but he has no meat on his body, and he looks dry and thin, like a bamboo pole.

But the skeleton is quite large, and it should be quite powerful.

"No, I don't know what I can do. Wang Yu raised his head, and the sunlight under the eaves was a little dazzling.

Chen Dazhui thought of a certain out-of-tune second goods, and he tried to ask, "Do you want to learn to strike iron?"

"Striking iron?"

Wang Yu scratched his head, and suddenly snowflakes flew, "Okay, I don't have anywhere to go anyway." However, I eat a lot, and you can't always think I can eat and kick it. ”

Chen Dazhui grinned, "Can I still send you this little thing?" But let's talk about it first, I'll teach you how to strike iron, and you'll be your master." ”

"Oh, the master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice!"

Wang Yu didn't hesitate, and directly slammed his head three times. There's no way, he's just here, and someone who doesn't know the place well is willing to take him in, which is already very good.

Chen Dazhui smiled even more happily, revealing his missing front teeth, and seemed to realize this, and hurriedly covered it with his hand.

"Okay, come in after eating, and go wash your body. ”

His shop is not big, and there are many things for sale on one wall.

Kitchen knives, wood knives, hoes and shovels and the like.

Wang Yu followed into the backyard, there was no fire in the big stove, and there was firewood next to it.

Chen Dazhui took out a set of clothes from his bedroom, "Let's go, take you to the river to wash." ”

The two of them walked out of the backyard and towards the creek outside Ebony Town.

On the way, I met many townspeople, and when I saw Chen Dazhui with a beggar, I would ask a few questions.

He is not annoyed, and whenever he meets someone, he will say that this is his distant relative, and his family is in trouble, and he has taken refuge here.

The townsfolk easily accepted this statement and expressed sympathy for Wang Yu.

This one sent a few eggs, the other sent some home-made side dishes, and a few children were instructed by adults to take two pears.

Wang Yu fully felt the enthusiasm of the people of Ebony Town.

"Master, they're all very nice. ”

"That's because I took you with me, although your master is not a powerful person, but with this craft, you can eat anywhere. ”

Chen Dazhui smiled a little smugly.

When we arrived at the river, there happened to be a group of children playing in the water.

"Go wash up. ”

"Oh. ”

Taking off his clothes, Wang Yu jumped into the river.

The surface of the water, which was once quite clear, turned black in an instant.

When the children who were playing in the water saw it, one of the older ones asked, "Big brother, we have soap here, do you want to use it?"

Wang Yu shook his head, he was not used to the kindness of others.

When the child saw this, he did not speak, and left with his little friend.

Wang Yu washed for half an hour, and finally wiped the sludge off his body, and his face showed his true face.

"I can't see it, you don't look bad. Chen sat on the shore with his legs crossed. "It's just too thin, and if you strike iron, you'll have to suffer a lot. ”

Wang Yu is indeed good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like an honest person.

"Eat more, you will always grow meat. He folded his previous dirty clothes and put on the coarse linen clothes prepared by Chen Dazhui.

It's not complicated, just put it on your body, and then use hemp rope to make a belt, and tie it in the middle.

"Well, yes, it's kind of good. ”

Chen Dazhui looked him up and down, took out a polished bronze mirror from his arms, spat it in the palm of his hand, and wiped it on his head.

"Fortunately, it's not bad to be a teacher. He patted Wang Yu on the shoulder, "Let's go, take you to see the future master." ”

The future teacher?

"Uh, master, you haven't married yet?"

Chen Dazhui looks to be at least forty or fifty years old, and it is not too much to call him an old man here.

"Nope. When I was young, I wanted to learn my craft well. Later, he became a master of iron, and was fooled into learning two swordsmanship and promised him to do one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Find someone to fight, what else can it be. It was an old man who taught me, and he didn't know if he was dead now, so he asked me to challenge someone. ”

"Did you win or lose?"

"Lost. ”

Chen Dazhui was full of chagrin when he talked about the events of that year, "At that time, I thought, since I was going to find someone to fight, why don't I have a guy in my hand?" I stayed in the blacksmith shop for two years and gave myself a sword. ”

"Alas, I didn't win the fight, and my sword was gone. ”

Speaking of this, his face was full of distress.

"Then master, you are also a person who travels the rivers and lakes, why did you come back to strike iron again?" Wang Yu asked.

"What's wrong with wandering the rivers and lakes? The people of the rivers and lakes are not people? Don't you need to eat, drink, and sleep!" Chen Dazhui said this, with an indignant face, "At that time, the old man lied to me, saying how beautiful those women on the rivers and lakes were and how good their temperament was. ”

"I was also stupid at the time, and I believed it in a daze, but when I saw it, my mother. Those women have no fewer calluses on their hands than I do, and their feet are bigger. Although there are some good-looking people, where do people look at people like me who want nothing?"

He glared, "What's the matter, look down on the iron-struck, be careful that I expel you from the division!"

Wang Yu scratched his head, "Don't you dare to think like this, the skills that can eat are bigger than the sky!"

"That's right, learn to strike iron with me, and it will be easier to find your mother-in-law than others in the future. ”

"Oh, got it. Then master, aren't the two swordsmanship you learned amazing?"

"It's amazing, but it's a pity that your master is too stupid. ”

"That's a shame. By the way, master, who is our future master?

"Of course Jun, in the eyes of your master, she is the most handsome woman. ”

"Do people think you're handsome?"

"Uh... It should be okay. ”

"What do you mean it should be okay?"

"I said why do you kid talk so much, Lao Tzu is a master, or are you a master!"

Wang Yu was helpless, "You are the master, can I stop talking?" ”

Chen Dazhui snorted, quickened his pace and walked to the front, saying that he didn't want to see this cheap apprentice.

Looking at his slightly slightly tuotuo's back, the corners of Wang Yu's mouth curled, and he followed briskly.
