The snow outside the plug is like a knife, scraping over people's bodies over and over again, and also penetrating people's hearts.

Xiao Han wakes up early every day, and his only task in the morning is to make tea for his master, who is a blacksmith, the only blacksmith in the town.

The people in Sanhe Town all know Blacksmith Zhang, and they also know that his craftsmanship is good, and their kitchen knives and farm tools are all produced by him, and people are full of praise: they all say that his blacksmith skills are only worse than the legendary Ou Yezi!

After Xiao Han made tea, he went to stand on the pile, and the blacksmith Zhang told him: To lay a good iron, the most important thing is to stand on the pile, the hands must be stable, the waist must be strong, and the steps must be solid.

Blacksmith Zhang never taught Xiao Han to strike iron, only taught him horse walking, breathing and breathing, and the action of pulling the bellows by hand.

He knew from the age of six that Blacksmith Zhang was a stern man.

On his birthday, it was Xiao Han, the snow was spilling from the cold wind, and he was trying to sleep by the fire.

But the blacksmith picked him up, threw him in the snow, and said, "From this day on, you must stand on the stake for an hour every day, and then eat sweet potatoes."

And the sweet potatoes he secretly threw in the fire had already been swallowed into his stomach by Blacksmith Zhang.

He kept chewing in front of Xiao Han, screaming in his mouth, deliberately seducing Xiao Han in an attempt to make him beg for mercy.

Xiao Han was angry, he didn't look at him, he just stood on his pile, but the corners of his lips showed unbearable saliva, and his stomach kept growling.

Blacksmith Zhang could see his stubbornness, and his eyes showed the color of appreciation, but not a word came out of his mouth.

It wasn't until he had really stood for an hour that he took out a half-sized sweet potato and said, "Boy, it's really yours, eat it, it's cooked, it's just right!"

He immediately put the sweet potato in his mouth, and the red was so hot that his tears were immediately taken out, and he was so frightened that he quickly spit out the sweet potato that had just entered his mouth.

provoked Blacksmith Zhang to laugh loudly: "Boy, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, remember!"

Since that day, Xiao Han has remembered this lesson, and he vows: One day he must be good-looking, hum!

Blacksmith Zhang never gave him a chance, and he still kept tidying him up every day, letting him keep working, but he didn't teach him the kung fu of ironmaking.

He found that Blacksmith Zhang never beat him, but was very careful, including when he rectified him, his face was respectful, as if he was afraid of going too far, and that action was as careful as a girl, rambling and rambling.

It seems that he is deliberately teaching him something, but never teaching him the art of blacksmithing, and he still thinks that Blacksmith Zhang is selfish, afraid that he will learn and steal the limelight of his craft, and he will be prestigious!

Until one day, when he was fifteenth birthday, he couldn't help but ask him: "Master, why do you always make iron by yourself and don't teach me? Just let me stand on a stake and pull the bellows, am I not worthy of being a blacksmith master?"

How do you know that Blacksmith Zhang said something that he will never forget for the rest of his life: Remember, Xiaohan, you didn't do this!

"Ahh

Blacksmith Zhang stopped talking and was silent, Xiao Han knew that this would make him spit out another word, which was more difficult than ascending to the sky, so he gave up.

Xiao Han's happiest time of the day is at dusk, when Yu'er will come to play with him, and when she comes, she usually brings him something delicious, saying that she is afraid that he will be hungry.

Yu'er knew that although their family was well-off, Blacksmith Zhang always loved to pick on the door, except for his daily soju money, he asked Xiaohan to give him wine, and never gave him pocket money.

The biggest wealth Xiao Han saw was five coppers, just right, he could make two taels of soju, the lowest grade of soju, just right, to satisfy the blacksmith's cravings.

Surprisingly, every time he saw Yu'er come to find Xiaohan, Blacksmith Zhang's eyes were full of tenderness, especially when he saw Yu'er's mother, Aunt Hua, come to find Yu'er.

One day Xiao Han discovered this secret, so he paid more attention, and sure enough, Aunt Hua's arrival always attracted the attention of Blacksmith Zhang, but as soon as her eyes swept over, he was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.

Aunt Hua's family is a big family, and her husband is the biggest rich man in the town, Han Million, and I heard that the land within a radius of five miles east of the city is his family's private property.

But Han Million was never generous, he was so stingy that beggars came to beg for money, he didn't even give a word, and even dogs would bite them.

However, he connived at Yu'er to often bring delicious food to Xiaohan, and his eyes were also full of warmth, like a father looking at his beloved son, those eyes seemed to have a thousand words, but he couldn't say a word.

Today, it's Xiao Han again, Xiao Han's birthday, this year, he is seventeen years old.

Early in the morning, Blacksmith Zhang made an exception and gave him 30 coppers, asking him to go to the restaurant in the town to make half a catty of wine, buy a plate of peanuts, and a plate of braised beef.

He did the math, and there were five coppers left, so he asked him what to do?

Strange, Blacksmith Zhang looked at him and said, "Give you pocket money, from today onwards, I will give you five coppers a day, boy, you have to save money!"

The sun is coming out in the west? Xiao Han was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and his eyes suddenly turned into copper bells.

Blacksmith Zhang didn't say anything more, only waved his hand, let him go, and said that he could come back at dusk if he gave him half a day off.

Xiao Han took the copper coin and went to the town, but it was still early, and he thought he could go and play, and when he was thinking about where to play, Yu'er came, and he invited her to the river.

At this time, the water of the Qinghe River was not yet frozen, it was as clear as a mirror, every drop of stone could be seen clearly, and the fish in the water would occasionally come out and bubble, as if they were provoking him.

He couldn't help it, rolled up his trousers, and jumped into the water to catch fish.

"Brother Xiaohan, the weather is so cold, come up quickly, don't freeze, be careful that Uncle Zhang will punish you!" Yu'er said nervously.

"Yu'er, brother is in good health, hehe, it's cool in the water, it's okay!" Xiao Han said.

He was in good health, and he had to stand naked for two hours every morning, and this cold was not a problem for him!

Finally, he caught a foot-long fish, pulled it out of the water, and proudly showed off: "Yu'er, look, I caught a big fish!"

"Brother Xiao Han is awesome!" Yu'er clapped happily on the shore.

Xiao Han grabbed the fish, went ashore step by step, and said, "Yu'er, give it to you, this is the only gift I give you!"

"Thank you, Brother Xiaohan!" Yu'er smiled, like a flower blooming in spring.

After looking at Xiao Han for a moment, his eyes lit up, and his mouth unconsciously praised: "Yu'er, you are so beautiful, so beautiful, Yu'er, I like you!"

"Brother Xiaohan, what are you talking about?" Yu'er blushed and lowered her head in shame, and after a while, she glanced at him shyly and lowered her head again, and her hand was held by him.

After a while, she withdrew her jade-like slender hand and said, "Brother Xiaohan, let's go back!"

This year, Yu'er is already sixteen years old, slim and elegant, her face is like white jade, her lips are like cherries, her face is white and red, and her eyes are as gentle as water, especially when she looks at Xiaohan.

It was already afternoon, and they had just returned to the town, and Yu'er went home, and Xiao Han went to the restaurant to buy food and drinks, and went back to the blacksmith shop.

"Are you willing to come back?" Hmph, silly boy, are you fooling around with Yu'er, be careful that Old Man Han breaks your dog's legs!"

"He is reluctant to beat me, it seems that he likes me to be with Yu'er, and in two years, I will definitely marry Yu'er!" Xiao Han said resolutely.

"Cut, silly boy, how old are you, you dream of marrying a daughter-in-law?go, pull the bellows, don't be lazy, eat in an hour!" said Zhang, blacksmith's eyes sparked again.

Sure enough, Blacksmith Zhang saw Aunt Hua again, she was holding the fish in her hand, and when she came in, she said, "Xiaohan, it's your birthday today, this fish is a birthday gift from Aunt Hua, eat it while it's hot!" After speaking, he left without looking at Blacksmith Zhang.

"Eat, forget it, let's finish work early today, hehe, silly boy, Master will allow you to drink today!" After speaking, Blacksmith Zhang had already taken out his wine glass.

Xiao Han hurriedly laid out the table and made out the wine and food, and at this time, Yu'er actually came.

"Brother Xiaohan, happy birthday, this is my father's birthday gift to you!" After speaking, Yu'er spread out her hand, and it turned out to be a jade pendant as green as clear water.

"Thank you Yu'er, thank you Uncle Han!" Xiao Han stretched out his hand to take it, and his heart was overjoyed, as if he had seen the treasure of life, and tears rolled out of his eyes.

"Brother Xiaohan, what's wrong with you?" Yu'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his tears.

"No, it's nothing, I'm happy, thank you Yu'er!" After speaking, he held Yu'er's hand tightly.

"Cough" and "cough" twice, Blacksmith Zhang said: "It's time to eat, Yu'er, stay and eat together!" There was tenderness in his eyes.

Yu'er hurriedly poured wine for the two of them, and said, "Uncle Zhang, please, hehe, Brother Xiaohan, this is your first time drinking, drink less!"

"Thank you Yu'er!" Xiao Han's eyes were hot, but he had to accept it in front of Blacksmith Zhang, afraid that he would rectify him again.

After drinking for a while, Blacksmith Zhang got up and said, "I've eaten too much at noon, you two can eat slowly!" After speaking, he went to rest.

The remaining two people have a stronger relationship, you look at me, I look at you for a while, and the thick affection is inadvertently transmitted.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Aunt Hua came out to call Yu'er, saying that it was time to go home, so she pulled Yu'er away; behind were two pairs of fiery faces, one youthful, and the other old and spicy.

At this time, Blacksmith Zhang came out of the back room, but he sighed and said, "Xiao Han, go and pull out that sword, I'll give it to you!"

"Huh?" Xiao Han was overjoyed again.

He knew the sword, since he could remember, he knew that the cup of sword had been being exercised in the furnace fire, and it had never stopped, but he didn't expect that it had been refined into a sword, and besides, Blacksmith Zhang also said that he would give it to himself.

Could it be that pie really fell from the sky?

He hurriedly drew his sword, but it was a black iron sword, and he couldn't see its benefits, only that it was black except black, but still black, like a piece of soot that glowed in the dark.

"Look down on my sword, don't you? Hehe, silly boy, you will know its beauty in the future, it is definitely the best sword in the world!" After speaking, Blacksmith Zhang had already taken the long sword, flicked it lightly with his fingers, and the sound of "hum" suddenly came out, which lasted for a long time.

"From today onwards, I will teach you swordsmanship, one move a day, and after a hundred days, you can go out and break in, hehe, boy, don't damage my old man's reputation!" said Blacksmith Zhang proudly.

Suddenly, he straightened his waist, the whole person was a few inches taller, his eyes showed a shooting light, and his whole face lit up at once, as if he had suddenly become a god.

"Ahh
