The air in the mountains and forests is fresh and pleasant, and you can feel good in the body and mind when you take a breath.

Before Li Lingxu approached the courtyard, he smelled a smell of wine wafting in the air, which seemed to be a little turbid and smelled a little pungent.

Pushing open the door made of bamboo rafts, the smell of wine became stronger and stronger, and even the refreshing fragrance of flowers in the courtyard was masked.

Xiao Ying was still cooking on the fire at the moment, her small nostrils were blocked by two delicate flowers, her brows were slightly furrowed at the moment, and she was talking to herself angrily, unaware that Li Lingxu had returned.

"Drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking ”

Li Lingxu looked at Xiao Ying, who was full of doubts, and said, "Xiao Ying, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ying was taken aback, turned around, and found that it was Li Lingxu, patted her chest, and pouted, "Uncle Li, you're back." ”

Li Lingxu rubbed her head and said, "What is a person talking to himself?"

Xiao Ying glanced at the wooden house and said softly, "My father is back." ”

"Ah, your father is back, then you are still so unhappy?" Li Lingxu could clearly feel that Xiao Ying's mood was a little low, it stands to reason that his father rarely comes back, and he should be happy when he comes back, but now he is puffed up, and there is still a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Xiao Ying didn't want to say more, and continued to add firewood, with a sullen face.

Li Lingxu saw her like this, and knew that she was a little sulking now, so he comforted her casually and came outside the wooden house.

This wooden house is usually where Xiaoying lives, and his own one should be given by Yu Daqiang for him to live in, and at this moment Yu Daqiang is drinking himself in the room, with a sad face.

"Brother Yu, junior brother Li Lingxu, can I come in?" Li Lingxu knocked on the door and said.

There was silence for a moment, and after a moment a drunken voice came out: "Come in." ”

Li Lingxu pushed open the door and walked in, the strong smell of wine came to his face, how much did he have to drink?

Yu Daqiang is a middle-aged man, who looks to be in his thirties, with a strong body, wearing a dark blue cloth shirt with open arms, and his muscles bulging high, full of the beauty of strength.

It's just that the beard on his face is all over his face, and his hair is messy, and he looks a little decadent.

Li Lingxu asked tentatively, "Brother Yu?"

Yu Daqiang raised his eyes and glanced at Li Lingxu, there was no brilliance in his cloudy eyes, and said lightly: "Do you know how to drink?"

Li Lingxu naturally would, but now was not the time to drink, and he wanted to inquire about some things that rescued him that day, and said, "Brother Yu, how much have you drunk?"

Yu Daqiang ignored it, retracted his gaze, and continued to hold the jar and gulp it violently, as if he was drinking not wine, but water.

Li Lingxu was embarrassed, what should I do?

When Li Lingxu was in trouble, Yu Daqiang wiped a handful of wine from the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you injured?"

"Alright, let's get out of here. ”

Li Ling was speechless, did he start to drive people away? Although his injuries had healed and he would leave in a few days, Yu Daqiang's temperament was too straightforward.

Li Lingxu's face was embarrassed, he took out his remaining coins from the token, put them on the table, and said, "Thank you Brother Yu for saving your life, I can't repay it, these coins are regarded as a little care." ”

Yu Daqiang glanced at the coin, then lost interest, took another sip, and said: "I just saved you conveniently, don't care, it's not greedy for your reward, you can take the coin back." ”

Li Lingxu felt that Yu Daqiang did not enter, and he had suffered a major blow, but looking at his appearance, he didn't look like it, and he wanted to say a few heavy words, Xiaoying was young, and it was too irresponsible to be a father.

I think that someone else saved my life, and I don't want to say much.

Li Ling hesitated slightly, if he wanted to communicate with someone, he had to blend in with him, took a bowl, poured himself a glass of turbid wine, and did it without saying a word.

"Doesn't this wine taste good?" Li Lingxu only felt that his mouth was full of hot and spicy, this wine was the worst wine he had ever drunk, and wiped his mouth.

Yu Daqiang saw that Li Lingxu seemed to understand wine, and glanced at him in surprise, thinking that this person was wearing a Taoist robe and had few desires, but he didn't expect that he still had some opinions on wine, although he didn't dare to agree.

Yu Daqiang gave Li Ling a false impression again, and then said: "That's because your perception of wine is biased." ”

"Although this wine has a spicy taste, it is warm in the throat and even more evocative when it reaches the bottom of the stomach. ”

Li Lingxu felt it, he didn't feel the feeling that Yu Daqiang said, and drank the wine in the bowl again, this time it was not so casual compared to last time, and he found that it was not bad with what Yu Daqiang said.

Yu Daqiang saw that Li Lingxu was not restrained, and smiled heartily: "Haha, how is it?"

Li Lingxu nodded and said, "Yes, that's true." ”

After three rounds of drinking, the two big men drank a bowl of you and me like this, Xiaoying was also angry and stomped her feet outside, thinking that Li Lingxu could persuade Yu Daqiang, but she also drank it, and her impression of Li Lingxu became worse at the moment, and she didn't even bother to call the two of you for dinner.

However, Li Lingxu didn't mean to eat at the moment, fortunately, he was a qi refiner, and the amount of alcohol was already good, so Rao didn't feel half drunk after drinking so much.

After drinking, he spit out the truth, which is not bad at all, but after a few bowls of wine, Yu Daqiang began to spit out his recent unhappiness.

Yu Daqiang originally opened a blacksmith shop in the mountains, and he was also a swordsmith, specializing in manufacturing large quantities of weapons and selling them to some family forces.

A few days ago, the Azure Sect, which was not far from here, sent someone to place an order, saying that it would forge a hundred fine swords within a year.

For swordsmiths, refining a sword takes a lot of time in Japan, and now, this Azure Sect has only given a year, and it is still a hundred good long swords.

In the past six months, day and night, there is still a lot of gap between the hundred handles.

Yu Daqiang originally wanted to refuse, but for many years, the blacksmith shop was built in the mountains, and the business was already sluggish, so he finally received a big order, where could he withstand the temptation, considering the livelihood of some villagers in the village, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

In the final analysis, it is the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce that is too domineering, and there is no place for these shops in all towns and cities, so they will choose to build their shops in the mountains.

Yu Daqiang originally thought that he would work around the clock to process and cast, and there would still be a chance to complete it within a year.

Some time ago, the Azure Sect suddenly changed its words, and the mineral materials needed for the long sword needed to be changed, which stumped the big guy.

And Yu Daqiang and everyone went to the mountains to find the vein where they made the long sword, and just happened to meet Li Lingxu who was in a coma.

Now, the vein has not yet been found, and the one-year period is imminent, Yu Daqiang has no bitterness in his heart, so he can only use wine to drown his sorrows.

Li Lingxu learned about the current predicament of the blacksmith shop, and also understood the reason why he didn't see anyone talking to him when he went to the blacksmith shop that day.

Li Lingxu didn't know anything about the way of refining, so naturally he couldn't help Yu Daqiang find the ore vein.

Hey, the old man is so powerful, maybe he will know?

Li Lingxu suddenly thought of the old man in the mountain, and he was also determined to visit tomorrow, and he might be able to get some news of the ore veins from his mouth.
