Chapter 42: The Blacksmith and the General
"Bang dang", "bang dang", "bang dang"
It seemed to be the sound of this in the blacksmith for a long time.
The unkempt blacksmith with stubble on his face stood in front of the iron furnace and repeated the action of striking pig iron with a hammer. His body is not burly, he can only barely be considered average, but the strength in his hands is surprisingly great, and the hammer that is difficult for ordinary adults to wield in his hand is like a wooden hammer for children to play with.
The blacksmith was a mute, and everyone in the town knew it, because no one had ever heard a word from the blacksmith, and the townspeople said he was mute.
Ten years ago, on a rainy night, a handsome scholar in a white robe came to this town with hundreds of households.
No one knows where he came from.
Since then, there has been an additional blacksmith in the town, and he is the only blacksmith in the town.
No one who comes will associate the sloppy blacksmith in front of him with the personable scholar in white ten years ago.
Click!
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.
Many people looked back in surprise, there are few outsiders in this small town on weekdays, and today is somehow the first wave of people.
"Let it go, let it go!"
A shrewd man in simple clothes dismounted in the crowd, and the crowd outside the blacksmith shop suddenly dispersed a path, and the man trotted briskly to the iron stove.
But he saw a shrewd man attached to the blacksmith and whispered a few words, but he didn't know what the man said to the blacksmith. The blacksmith's not burly body froze suddenly, and the hammer in his hand hung over the iron furnace for a long time.
The blacksmith's hair fell to the sides, and two cloudy lines of tears slowly slipped down the rough face covered with stubble.
Zila!
Slight noises are clearly audible.
The moment the tears fell into the furnace, the sparks in the furnace instantly turned into a raging fire and burst out from the bottom of the furnace, turning into a small fire dragon and drying it.
In front of everyone's eyes, this blacksmith, who had not been out of the town for ten years, rose directly from the soles of his feet, and disappeared into the sky in the sight of the people in the town.
......
Wei Shisan looked at the man sitting in front of the house, he looked like an ordinary man, not fat or thin, and he couldn't see anything outstanding about this man at all. It was really hard for him to connect this man with the legendary big man.
Standing in front of him, Wei Shisan didn't feel any pressure, and even had a feeling like a spring breeze, in short, he felt very comfortable.
"Old Yan, what is the matter with coming to me this time?" The legendary figure of Great Wei smiled slightly, and spoke to the old man, but his eyes fell on Wei Thirteen. His gaze paused slightly longer on Wei Thirteen's wooden sword, as if to confirm something he wasn't sure about.
"It's for the little guy's injury. The old man directly stated their origins, and he knew that there was no need to hide them in front of this person.
"Well, the wound can be healed, it's just ......" He hesitated for a moment, then his voice stopped as he spoke.
Wei Shisan's heart was full of anticrisy when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard that sound, his heart suddenly chuckled, and his breathing stopped.
"It's just that he needs to help me do something!" the eighteenth general glanced at the young man with a slightly pale face.
Wei Shisan's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible. He couldn't think of anything that this hand-eyed figure couldn't do, and he, a stunned young man who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, could do it.
Wei Shisan glanced at the old man on the side in surprise, wanting to get the answer he wanted to know from the old man's mouth. The old man didn't seem to notice his gaze, and naturally he didn't answer the doubts in his heart.
"What's the matter?"
Wei Shisan couldn't help but ask.
"Well, you'll know when the time comes, you just have to promise me. General Eighteen did not answer Wei Thirteen's question, with a mysterious danger on his face.
"This ......" Wei Shisan hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to agree or not. It's just that the other party didn't even say anything, so he naturally couldn't agree easily. In case the other party asked him to do that kind of hurtful thing, even if he gave up his little life, he couldn't agree to it.
He thought about it, and with the status of the other party, he naturally disdained to let him do this kind of thing.
The old god general beside Wei Shisan seemed to have thought of a possibility, and his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, that thing was not impossible.
If he is lucky enough to be favored by the general, it is also a blessing for this kid. He thought so.
Seeing that the young man was still hesitating, he wanted to urge the young man to agree quickly, but in front of the person in the room, it was naturally difficult to say much with his identity.
Seeing that the young man was still hesitating, this legendary figure quickly stretched and loosened his eyebrows with a slight wrinkle, such a hesitant character is indeed not the style of a general.
"Elder Yan brought you here, whether you agree or not, I will help you heal your injuries. ”
Wei Shisan was stunned, and suddenly he felt that he was spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, others were so bold, but he was so ink, and he was still thinking about how others were doing.
"Okay, I promise you!" Wei Shisan grinned.
"Since you promised to come down, then Elder Yan can go back, and you will stay with me during this time. It may be a long time, a few months, a few years, and when your injuries are no longer serious, I will naturally let you go, what do you think?"
"Good!"
"Later, Elder Huang will clean up a room for you, and you will live in the mansion for the time being. I'll take you somewhere when I'm done here. General Eighteen said.
"General, farewell!" Yan Shu said very neatly.
Eighteen generals bowed their heads.
Wei 13 chased Yan Shu out of the door of the eighteenth general's room, he couldn't go back for so long this time, so he naturally asked the old man to bring a few words to Xiaobai's face for him.
"Grandpa Yan, tell Yan Zhen that this guy doesn't have to worry about me, it won't be long before a lively Wei 13 will come back to him. Wei 13 stood in front of the door of the big open mansion and said to the Great Wei God General with bared teeth.
The old man smiled and patted Wei Shisan's not-so-sturdy shoulder vigorously, "Okay, little guy, the door of the Yan family has been open for you, waiting for the day when you return triumphantly." ”
"Seize this opportunity to be here with the general, maybe you will be able to set foot in the Chang'an City that people all over the world yearn for. ”
The old man smiled heartily and strode towards the mouth of the alley.
Wei 13 didn't know what this Great Wei General was going to do by himself, but judging from the performance of the old man in front of him, it was not only not a bad thing, but also a little good for himself.
Thinking of this, his heart burned slightly and began to look forward to the next few days. It's just that he didn't imagine how difficult and dangerous the following days were.
