Chapter 167: New Willow

For more than a month, it has been very pleasant.

Carrying a few jars of good wine, they crowded into a log cabin during the day, and fished by the small lake at dusk.

The place where I live is a little remote, and it is a village on the border of carriages and horses, called Xinliu Village.

When I first arrived, I was unkempt.

He was told by the residents that he was a down-and-out monk who had come here by mistake because he had been separated from his family.

The villagers kindly took him in.

Everyone worked together for three days and built a simple wooden house.

So he stayed in this village.

......

This time has passed.

Almost all the men, women and children in the village have known each other.

Lihui would go to the forest at dusk to chop some firewood in exchange for some food or wine with the villagers.

The wine in the village is excellent, and it is all made by the villagers themselves.

It tastes a little sweet and doesn't have much stamina.

......

Occasionally, an energetic old man in his fifties and sixties would come and go fishing with him.

At dusk, he sat on the shore and threw handfuls of fish feed into the lake.

The old man said that the night time is the cleanest, and it is also the best for fishing.

I couldn't agree more.

Because I like to be clean, as long as the fishing rod in my hand does not shake, I can think without distractions for a long time.

The old man said that his name was Takefu Yuesheng, and he came from the Hanging Realm of He.

Now that I am in my old age, my biggest hobby in life is fishing by this lake.

He said that it was rare for someone to accompany him, a bad old man, but he became a friend with Li.

Takefu has a quirk.

When he catches the fish, he uses scissors to cut it on the tail and releases it.

Leave asked him why he did it.

The old man smiled: "I give a life two chances, if I catch it a third time, then I can go to the old man's table." ”

It's a lot of fun!

It is difficult to take the bait the second time, let alone the third time.

Unexpectedly, Takefu Tsuki's fishing rod seems to have a peculiar attraction.

Every time I went fishing with the old man, I would always see him and say, "Third time, little one." ”

Then throw a fish in the bucket next to it.

The old man said that the fish was hooked because of its greed.

Just like people, if you are too greedy, you will eventually die in your own hands.

......

Some villagers asked, "Why don't you come out during the day?"

I had to explain that I had to sleep during the day, and I couldn't sleep at night and had insomnia, so I happened to come fishing.

So as long as it's daytime.

No matter how sunny it is, they will stay in the wooden house until dusk.

The villagers were convinced of this excuse.

There are too many people in this world who have abnormal schedules.

Nocturnal people abound, and it's not unusual to stay this way.

What's more, the same is true for Takefu Yuesheng in the village.

The old man also goes out by day and night, so no one will find it strange to leave.

......

One old and one young, Takefu Yuesheng and Li fish by the lake in the village every night, but they are leisurely.

Occasionally, Takefu Yuesheng didn't come to fish for some reason, and I don't know where he went.

It doesn't matter if you leave, it's also very comfortable to be alone.

Fry a plate of peanuts with a pot of rice wine.

You can sit all night.

......

It's dusk again.

When he left the line and arrived in front of a tiled house two miles away, he shouted, "Fu Lao!

The two words from seeing Zhufu are spelled together, which is a "Fu" word.

So it is common to call the old man like this.

The front door of the tiled house was closed, and no one opened the door inside.

"Leave Uncle! Grandpa Takefu went out earlier, you can fish alone today!"

When some of the children who were playing saw this, they told him.

"Okay!"

He was accustomed to leaving, and walked to the lake with a small wine and a fishing rod.

......

Passing by a blacksmith shop.

The air was scorching, and a thin man was pounding on a soldering iron inside.

The thin man was eight feet tall, and his face was white and clean.

This is not the same as the usual dark complexion of a blacksmith.

His name is Liu Wenping, and he is the only blacksmith in the village.

The blacksmith shop is surrounded by all kinds of kitchen utensils, hoes and shovels for ploughing the land.

"Brother Liu!"

As soon as he walked into the blacksmith shop, the scorching breath inside made him feel strange.

In Li's perception, the fire in this furnace is not ordinary.

"It's my brother!"

Liu Wenping held the bellows in his hand, and saw the flames rise inch by inch.

"What is Brother Liu busy with?"

"I'm playing a kitchen knife, Aunt Guo is in a hurry to catch up with Ming'er. ”

Liu Wenping is a well-known good man in the village.

On weekdays, he casts things for the villagers, and he does not accept copper or silver stones.

The steamed buns sent by others are quite happy to accept.

"Tomorrow, then you can't work overtime tonight?" Li smiled, walked to the side and said, "Brother Liu, I'll pull the bellows for you, so it can be faster." ”

"Alas, what's so embarrassing, you better get busy with your brother. ”

Liu Wenping was a little embarrassed.

As soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he grabbed his hand on the bellows lever.

Call!

呲呲呲~

Call!

呲呲呲~~

The fire in the stove is getting stronger.

"Brother Liu, come on, I'll be tired in a while. ”

"Okay!

Seeing that Liu Wenping was like this, he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he twisted the giant hammer and smashed it up.

Although this person looks skinny, he is not strong at all.

But when it comes to unscrewing the sledgehammer, it looks effortless.

Each tap and fold is very rhythmic.

Bang!

Dada~~

Bang!

Dada~~

First, slam the hammer down, and then use the hammer to bounce up a few inches high, relying on inertia to hammer twice.

And so it went on and on for half an hour.

Liu Wenping said: "What, my brother is not tired?"

He smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly said, "Oh yes! My hand is sore, how long will it take for Brother Liu?"

After speaking, he pretended to shake his hand sorely.

He even lightly hammered his right arm with his left hand, looking overworked.

"If two people cooperate, it will take about half an hour. Why don't I do it myself?"

Liu Wenping saw that he was a little tired, and it was not good to let him continue.

"No, no, Brother Liu, I can do it. ”

Li changed his hand and pulled up the bellows again.

The bellows whirring.

The flame in the furnace rose a few points higher.

Liu Wenping seemed to be tireless, repeatedly striking the already formed iron, and the iron had turned into a blade.

Halfway through, he changed hands and continued to pull the bellows, and so on for most of the hour.

In the end, I saw Liu Wenping take out a quick wooden stake and cut it into a handle with his miraculous knife skills.

Then put the red-hot iron in the cold water on the side, let it cool, and then put the handle on it.

It was late at night.

From the outside, the starry sky is dotted.

The stars in the eyes of ordinary people are actually vast and overhanging.

"Thank you, brother, I can sleep well tonight. ”

Liu Wenping gave Li a steamed bun and asked him to take it to eat.

Li smiled and took Meiyi, and after chatting a few words, he left the blacksmith shop.

"This kid doesn't look like an ordinary monk. Liu Wenping muttered to himself, and then said: "That's it, I still open my blacksmith shop with peace of mind, and I can't control this vast matter." ”

......

The night in Xinliu Village is very quiet.

All you can hear is the chirping of insects and birds.

The surface of the lake is also very clear, and occasionally fish and beasts jump up and ripple on the surface of the water.

"I wonder what happened to them. ”

Thinking of this, he took out the rune stone from his arms.
