The cold weather is short, and the wind and waves are flat

"Looking at the weather today, it doesn't seem to be very good, it's cold and windy so early in the morning, it won't snow so soon. Mu Yuan put his hand on the pergola and looked at the weather on the horse.

"It's not surprising either. Chu Xunyu shook his head on the side, "It's cold early in the north, and now in November, our itinerary is getting closer and closer to the north, and it is reasonable to be cold." ”

In a blink of an eye, Chu Xunyu, Mu Yuan and Wangchen had already left Xuzhou, entered Shandong, and came to Zaozhuang.

"We've been away from Xuzhou for a few days, and we don't know what Galway's situation is. Wangchen looked at the depressed scene of winter on the official road with some worry, "Can he be cured if he goes to Shushan?" ”

"Don't worry. Chu Xunyu said with a smile, "There are quite a few masters in Shushan, before parting, I have already given the prescription to Elder Broken Wind, he will definitely cure Big Brother Gao." ”

"That's good. Wangchen nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly felt strange for no reason, how could he suddenly care about the life and death of mortals, for hundreds of years, his state of mind has long been unstained with the slightest dust, how can he go down the mountain this time, and Chu Xunyu walked all the way down, and became more and more concerned about the world, this is really strange, if you make your own Dao heart unstable, when will you be able to attain the supreme avenue.

"Bang dang, bang dang ......" A sparkling metal sound interrupted Wangchen's train of thought, Wangchen looked up curiously on the horse, and saw that there was an open-air blacksmith shop next to the official road not far away, and there were two or three guys in it who were just striking iron.

"Oh?" Wangchen asked curiously, "How can there be a blacksmith shop next to the official road?"

"Huh. Chu Xunyu looked back and smiled slightly, "The seniors don't know something, there is something special here." ”

"Oh?

"In fact, there is nothing mysterious, there are always people coming and going on this official road, those who hold goods, pick up people, and those who are in a hurry, that is more, the grass people in the market can walk, the eunuchs can also walk, and there are many individual visitors in the rivers and lakes, so there is a blacksmith shop on the side of the official road, which can help people repair and repair weapons, or repair passing carriages, or help people re-take a horseshoe, so look at it, there is still money to be made. ”

"I see. After listening to this, Mu Yuan smiled, "Then why don't we go over and have a look." ”

"What did we do in the past?" Chu Xunyu looked puzzled.

"Look. Mu Yuan patted the horse's neck under his crotch, "Don't you see? Our horse has also ridden all the way, going to repair the horse's shoe, and by the way, we will chat with the fellow countrymen." ”

"It's just you. Chu Xunyu glanced at him, "Forget it, let's go and take a look, by the way, you can rest for a while, you've been on the road for a long time." ”

"Haha, the hero sees the same thing. ”

When the discussion was over, the three men rode lightly and slowly walked to the blacksmith's shop. This blacksmith shop is very simple, and after the work is done in the open air, there are three young men at the bottom, bare-chested, who are busy with a sledgehammer in front of the anvil, and there are a lot of weapons and iron goods scattered around, and it seems that the business is quite good.

Chu Xunyu saw that it was still early, and it was far from the time to get on the guests, so he got off the horse with a smile, led the horses in, and shouted with a smile: "Little brother, there is a visitor." ”

A dark-skinned young man heard this, and hurriedly put down the guy in his hand, turned around to meet him, rubbed his hands and shouted, "Yo, everyone is here, are you repairing guys, or drinking tea?"

"Tea?" Mu Yuan bolted his horse, and then came in, listening with a curious face, "How do you say this, can you still drink tea in the blacksmith shop?"

"Hehe, objectively see and laugh, other people's families can't drink tea, but we can, but it's not a good tea, we usually strike iron, while setting up a stall on the side of the road, supply some tea, one can give the guest officers a rest, second, we can also make a little money, subsidy to supplement the family, but now early in the morning, it is not yet time to go to the customer, so the tea stall has not been set up. The young man explained honestly.

"Yo, I can't see that you're doing a very good business. Mu Yuan smiled: "That's okay, we are both drinking tea and repairing guys, so let's help our horse regain control of the iron, and we will wait while drinking tea." ”

"Okay. The guy beckoned back, "Stand up, get tea." ”

Hearing the shouting, the remaining two men immediately put down their work, carried a wooden table, and carried a pot of boiling water and a few tea bowls, came to the three of them to set it up, brewed the tea, and went back to busy themselves.

"Rest objectively, I'll help you take a look at the horseshoe. The young man said with a smile on the side.

"Well, go ahead. Chu Xunyu nodded, then made it with everyone, and handed over some scattered silver, "Pick some good iron, don't worry about money." ”

"Well, you see. The guy took the money, turned around and went back to look at the horseshoe, leaving only Chu Xunyu and the three of them sitting at the table drinking tea and chatting.

"Not far ahead is Zaozhuang. Wangchen looked into the distance, "How do we go? Do we enter the city or bypass? Or go north directly through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal?"

Chu Xunyu also looked up at the end of the official road, and vaguely seemed to have begun to usher in people coming and going, so he thought about it and said: "Let's go directly to the outskirts of the city, we don't have to go into the city, so as not to cause more trouble." ”

"Well, that's it. ”

The three of them were chatting here, and the swarthy young man who answered on the other side was also busy, looking for tools while checking the horseshoe, and just found the side of the anvil, and saw the small hammer he wanted, so he subconsciously reached out to get it.

The other two men at the anvil were striking the iron, and suddenly a spark burst out, and one of the men shuddered in his hand, and the hammer suddenly turned to the left, and smashed it against the hand of the swarthy young man who touched the hammer.

"Flutter ......" At this critical moment, Mu Yuan's horse suddenly let out a fart, and the young man who smoked instinctively reacted to cover his nose with his hand, only to hear a "bang", and the hammer next to him hit the empty place.

"Yo!" All this happened naturally by Chu Xunyu and the three of them, Mu Yuan said in surprise: "I can't see it, my horse is the same as us, he was born with a kind life, and he has learned to save people, what kind of master he really learns." ”

Chu Xunyu glanced at him when he heard it, what kind of mess is this, but it is also thanks to Mu Yuan's horse that came at such an inopportune time, I really want to praise it, the coincidence of fate.

"Brother Erhei, why are you always so lucky, it was really dangerous just now. The guy with the hammer sighed.

"Hehe, this, I don't know. The swarthy young man rubbed his hands together and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh?" Mu Yuan became interested, and waved his hand and shouted, "Man!"

"Ah, you commanded, officer. The lad came at once.

"I ask you, have you ever read?"

"I can recognize a few words, when I was a child, there was a private school not far from my home, and I also knew a few words. ”

"Oh, that's it. Mu Yuan nodded, "I heard that guy call you Erhei just now, this is your name?"

"yes, we're naturally dark-skinned. ”

"I heard him sigh that your luck is always good?" Mu Yuan asked curiously, "How do you say this?

"Hehe, I can't talk about it, but ordinary small disasters and small difficulties can't be our turn, and God is not thin on me. ”

"Oh? Mu Yuan squinted, took a sip of tea, and threw a peanut into his mouth, "Can you tell us, are there any specific examples, I don't have any other hobbies, I like to inquire about new things, anyway, it's still early, and the guests haven't arrived yet, so you can tell me about it." ”

"Hey, what, it's not that new, if you really want to hear it, I'll tell you as I work. Erhei Lehei bent down to pack up the hammer and talked about the past.

Erhei was born in the city since he was a child, his family was poor when he was a child, and it was good to barely know a few words, and then he grew up and learned the craft of blacksmithing with his fourth uncle, no, the fourth uncle worked in the blacksmith shop in the city, and also built such a shop on the edge of the official road, so that Erhei took a group of guys to take some business and make a little more money.

If you want to say that Erhei is lucky when he is small, it is not blown, the nearby folks know, let's just say that one day when he was a child, he went hunting in the suburbs, and met a wild dog, and the wild dog somehow, went crazy, caught whoever bit whom, and came to Erhei, Erhei panicked, sat on the ground, and threw the bow and arrow behind his back indiscriminately, at this critical moment, it happened to be inserted into the right eye of the wild dog, and the wild dog rolled on the ground in pain, and beat the companion who caught up behind him to death.

There are many, many more such things, for example, Erhei played at the neighbor's house when he was a child, and the neighbor left him for dinner, and Erhei agreed, but suddenly had a stomach upset, and hurriedly ran home to the thatched house, and when he came out of the thatched house, he was dumbfounded on the spot, it turned out that the neighbor's cooking went to the water, caught a fire, and killed people, fortunately he came out in advance, otherwise he would have to explain here.

And so on, there are countless such things, and they can't be said for a few days and nights, as big as life and death, a thousand shots, as small as trivialities, bumps and bumps, everything, Erhei is the head of good luck, nothing at all.

"Really, fake. Mu Yuan, Chu Xunyu, and Wangchen listened to it incredible, and they felt like they were listening to a book from heaven, "You made it up quite similarly." ”

"Hehe, it's false to say it, but it's all true. Erhei squatted on the ground and nailed the horse, and sighed without raising his head.

"yes, yes. The young man next to him also echoed on the side, "Brother Erhei has been like this since he was a child, everyone says that he is the reincarnation of Fuxing, and he is lucky." ”

"That's ......"

"Little Er, come to a pot of tea. A voice interjected stiffly, interrupting Chu Xunyu's conversation.

The three of them looked back in response, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, it turned out that this person was an old man, squinting his eyes, dressed in a brown burlap dress, with a slight wrinkle on his face, but his eyes flashed with indescribable colors, like doubts, like sighs, and most importantly, this is a cultivator, with a cultivation of the Spiritual Silence Period, although it is not worth anything among the three of Chu Xunyu, but it is still somewhat curious, he is a cultivator, what is he doing in this mortal tea shop? Of course, it would definitely not be for Chu Xunyu and the three of them, because they had already hidden their breath, and with his small Spiritual Silence Period cultivator, he would definitely not be able to see his true face.

As the sky approached noon, there were more and more pedestrians on the official road, and the flow of people slowly set off on the tea shop, and the merchants who came and went stopped to repair things or ask for directions. Although Chu Xunyu and the three of them had no fear in their hearts, they could conclude that this old man must have something in mind, because when he drank tea, his eyes never left the young man named Erhei......
