Chapter 3: The King Blacksmith
Less than 100 meters west of Qin's house, there was a blacksmith shop, and in the shop, there was an old man in his fifties who was making weapons alone.
The old man's surname is Wang, known as the king blacksmith, with a strange temperament, if you think you have a fate, you will not take a penny, if you are unhappy, it is difficult to find gold.
Three years ago, Qin Yun wore coarse cloth clothes, held three coins and pig iron scales from nowhere, and went to the blacksmith shop alone to ask Blacksmith Wang to make a short sword for him. He had no idea that pig iron was too brittle to be cast but not forged.
Blacksmith Wang looked at Qin Yun as if he was looking at an alien species, with an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and as if he was crying but not crying.
Qin Yun had an innocent expression on his face, his dark and bright eyes flashed, and he looked straight at Blacksmith Wang, constantly urging Blacksmith Wang to make a short sword for him.
Blacksmith Wang looked at the young man expressionlessly and said, "Then it's cool, go there and play, don't get in my way!"
As if he hadn't heard, he stood straight at the blacksmith's door, his dark and bright eyes never leaving the figure of the king's blacksmith, and he still stood there from morning until noon.
The noon sun was quite scorching, and the soil on the ground was drenched by Qin Yun's sweat, standing still like a stone statue.
Blacksmith Wang closed his eyes and leisurely shook the rattan chair that wanted to be broken, and every time the rattan chair shook, it would make a squeaky sound, which made people quite worried.
Qin Yun looked up at the sky, the sun was even in the middle of noon, and he looked at the blacksmith shop again, and thought to himself: "It seems that Old Man Wang doesn't buy it, it seems that he is like air, and it is useless to stand by himself for as long as he wants." ”
His eyes rolled to his heart, and then he turned around and strode towards the broken temple.
After the blacksmith Wang saw the young man leave, he thought that he couldn't hold on and go, and the corners of his mouth rose with a contemptuous smile, and his face was quite meaningful.
He understood that if everyone stood in front of his door for a while, he would make weapons for free, and soon he would have to change his name to Wang Bailao. It's not that he doesn't have love and compassion, it's just that he doesn't want to be kidnapped by this love and compassion.
After about half a pillar of incense, Qin Yun walked slowly over, holding a jar of wine in his arms.
Go to a platform in front of the blacksmith and place it in the shade of a tree.
He sat on the ground, uncovered the yellow mud seal of the jar, and poured out a bowl of drunken immortal liquor with a color as clear as crystal and a fragrance as pure as an orchid.
From time to time, the fan was stirred, and the aroma of the wine gradually drifted away into the distance.
After a few breaths, a smell of wine that seems to be like an orchid wafts towards the blacksmith shop, the aroma is not strong or discussed, just right to make people intoxicated.
Blacksmith Wang sniffed with his nose, turned his head to follow the aroma of the wine, opened his eyes and looked ahead, the aroma of wine had already touched his heartstrings.
Watching the young man use a banana leaf fan to constantly fan the mouth of the wine jar, so that the aroma of it wafted towards the blacksmith shop, he was angry and funny in his heart, and pretended to be surprised and accosted Qin Yun and said, "Didn't you just leave!
Qin Yun raised his arm and wiped the rice residue on the side of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I just went to eat, and after eating, I brought a jar of drunken immortal brew by the way, this wine is a well-known fragrance in the vicinity, and people from many places come here, and they may not be able to drink this wine." ”
"This wine is also very small, only in summer and autumn for a period of time, if you don't drink a bowl, I really feel very sorry for it!"
"It's a hot day, and your throat is almost smoking, so you should moisten your throat. ”
The blacksmith Wang was particularly entangled, and when he thought about it, he knew that this kid had set himself up, was this wine so easy to drink, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he coughed and pretended to say: "The old man is not thirsty!"
After speaking, he turned his face away, pretending not to say anything.
After about half a cup of tea, as the aroma of wine wafted in, Blacksmith Wang's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch.
Looking up at the scorching sun like a fireball, he licked his chapped lips and suddenly felt his throat dry and unbearable. Turning his head to look at the wine jar under the banana fan, he really couldn't wipe off this old face, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only look at the wine jar with his eyes.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Yun slowly walked towards the blacksmith shop with a bowl of wine.
Under the shade of the trees, it was only a few meters away from the entrance of the blacksmith's shop, and Blacksmith Wang felt as if it was thousands of meters away.
When Qin Yun came to the blacksmith, he asked in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, you help me taste it, this wine is not strong, I have a shallow amount of wine, one bowl is here!"
The blacksmith glanced at it, immediately took the wine bowl and drank it, smashed his mouth and said: "This wine is quite strong, not suitable for children to drink, you bring it, I will help you keep it, and take it away with you tomorrow when you take the short sword!"
The sun sets, the moon shoots on the branches, and the autumn breeze blows slowly, with a hint of coolness.
Qin Yun looked up at the moonlight at night, the sky was full of stars, and meteors crossed from time to time. Qin Yun looked stupid and looked longing, smirking from time to time, and he didn't know what he was looking forward to.
On the second day, Qin Yun came to the blacksmith shop with a jar of drunken immortal brew in his arms, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Blacksmith Wang lying on the old rattan chair with his eyes closed and shaking.
Every step he took tried to avoid making a sound, but as soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, he heard the blacksmith Wang say, "Boy, you are here, why are you sneaky! Quick! Bring the wine in your hand to the old man to taste." ”
Qin Yun tore open the seal of the wine jar with his hand, poured out a bowl of drunken immortal brew and placed it on the stone table next to Wang Lao's rattan chair, and said with a surprised expression: "Uncle Wang, you are really a god, even if you can hear me come in, you still know that I am holding the wine jar in my arms, and this wine jar is tightly sealed!"
"Huh"
Blacksmith Wang touched his goatee and said with a smile: "Although you breathe slightly, your steps are like light feathers, if you are an ordinary warrior, you will hide the past." But you're still too tender for the old man. The short sword is on the third wooden frame in the left row, you can go and get it yourself!"
"Uncle Wang, you drink slowly, I'll go get it, hehe! I forgot to tell you that this wine was given up in your old name, and the restaurant will come to settle the account at the end of the month. ”
"Stinky boy, you are really slippery, the old man was actually put on a show by you! Go to the restaurant tomorrow to send more drunken fairy wine, and the province will be sold out in a few days!"
"Uncle Wang, don't worry! Wrap it up on me. ”
Wang Lao looked at Qin Yun's back, but instead of being angry, he squinted his eyes and laughed, and took the wine bowl in his hand and drank it down.
He hadn't been so happy for a long time, and all these years, no one had dared to joke with him like this, and everyone under him was cowering, which made him feel bored and bored.
Just when he reached the bottleneck of the realm breakthrough, Wang Blacksmith came to this small city to find an opportunity to break through through the guidance of Stargazer. At the beginning, he encountered some people who tended to be inflammatory, mercenary, which made him disgusted, and Wang Blacksmith simply refused to accept customers.
Qin Yun's arrival made him see simplicity and innocence, and it also added some fun to this empty courtyard, so that it was not lifeless.
Qin Yunlong leaped to the wooden shelf and saw the shelf full of strange weapons. Counting with his hand, he took a short sword about two feet long from the third square in the left row. This short sword has an ordinary style, with white light flashing, and it is very light. The short sword gave him the feeling of being cold, and it seemed as if there was a trace of cold air pouring out.
"Uncle Wang, you are always tasting slowly, how about I go out and try the short sword!"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yun had already been discharged from the hospital door and ran towards the valley.
A few days later, Blacksmith Wang lay on the rattan chair that was about to fall apart, shaking from time to time, and glancing at the door of the shop from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Every day after noon, Qin Yun would come to visit Blacksmith Wang, but in recent days, his figure had not flickered, and Blacksmith Wang's seemed to have returned to the time of loneliness.
Today's afterglow dyed the sky red, and the sky seemed to be burning, but there was still no Qin Yun's figure appearing, and it seemed that it would not appear today.
After another half of the tea time, a smile appeared on Blacksmith Wang's tense face.
There was a figure flickering at the door of the inner courtyard, the pace was very slow, moving forward step by step, this person's face was also pale and weak, and he had no strength to move to the stone bench next to the rattan chair.
Blacksmith Wang glanced at it, touched his goatee, and said, "Xiao Yunzi, look at your half-dead appearance, whether you have been struck by lightning or squeezed dry by your little daughter-in-law." ”
"Uncle Wang, you are old enough to be two, I have become like this, and you still make fun of me. ”
"It's good that you didn't hang up, what's the matter! Tell the old man about it!"
Qin Yun glanced at the king blacksmith, moved his body, found a comfortable sitting position, took a sip of wine and said, "As soon as I took the short sword that day, I went to the valley, and as soon as I entered the valley, I encountered a fierce tiger. ”
"Hey, my life is really back!"
"The tiger's eyes are like brass bells, and the body is as big as a wheel, about a zhang long, with a thick snort, and gray and brown hair. I fought it for a long time, and I only wounded its fur, but the beast's claws nearly pierced its body. I was exhausted, and when I couldn't hold it anymore, a strong wind blew and rolled me up, and when I woke up, I hung on a big tree at the entrance of the village. ”
Qin Yun remembered the situation at that time, and couldn't help patting his chest, gasping for a few breaths, and his face became even paler.
"Xiaoyun, don't act so recklessly in the future, if you have a mistake, who will chat with the old man to relieve boredom. ”
"You're really a second god! Don't ask me how I'm hurting, but I'm afraid that no one will talk to you. ”
"Xiao Yunzi, the old man has seen your fate for you, you are not short-lived, but there will still be three disasters and five tribulations. ”
Blacksmith Wang stroked his goatee, pondered for a moment, glanced at Qin Yun, quietly tapped his fingers on Qin Yun's forehead, and said lightly: "The old man has passed on two sets of exercises to you, you go home and practice logistics, it will be more than enough to deal with some brutes in the future." ”
When Qin Yun heard this, he felt that this was such an opportunity, and hurriedly got up and bowed to the king blacksmith, but was stopped by the old king.
Blacksmith Wang helped Qin Yun up with both hands and said, "You don't need to make this big gift, just come and talk to the old man more in the future." ”
"Okay Uncle Wang, don't blame Yun'er for not being big or small just now, when you are better, I will come to accompany your old man. ”
Blacksmith Wang waved his hand and said, "The old man likes your unscrupulous way of speaking, don't change it." Go home, go home and recuperate. ”
"Then, Yun'er will go home first!"
Qin Yun turned around and moved towards his home step by step.
Blacksmith Wang looked at his back from afar and said to himself, "I really don't know, this is a blessing or a curse for you!"
