Do you want to lie to Wu Liuqi? Su Ziang was in a tangled mood, his mother Zheng taught him since he was a child, and a man's words should be loud and clear, and he must not lie to others, not to mention that Wu Liuqi on the other side had saved his life one by one.

"My dad passed away two years ago. After struggling for a long time, Su Ziang finally chose to lie first to protect himself, saying: "Two days ago, I went with my mother and sister to visit relatives in a neighboring county, and I got separated when I passed by the county seat, and when I was in a hurry, I fainted in front of your house. ”

"Where is your house?"

"My family lives in a small village that doesn't have a name. ”

"Ah, what do you do then?"

"I want to help Uncle Wu do some work in the ironsmith shop first, just take care of food and housing, and then slowly find my mother. Su Ziang looked at Wu Liuqi, feeling a little hopeful, looking forward to staying in Jiangshang County and looking for an opportunity to get close to his mother and sister.

"Okay, okay, let's pull the bellows together, this job is easy to do. Wu Liuqi patted Su Ziang on the shoulder with a big grin and said, "Don't worry, I have something to eat, and I can't starve you." ”

"Oh. Su Ziang's heart was hot and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiangshang County was established in the early years of the Guxia Dynasty and has been under the direct administration of Jiangcheng County for more than 1,000 years.

The law of the ancient Xia Dynasty is clear, the Pu Neng people want to pass through the county and county seats, if they stay in the hotel, they must have the official certificate issued by the government of the place of origin, and the people who do not have the certificate are called homeless, and they can not live in inns and work part-time, and they will be arrested and checked by the county government at any time, and iron-making in the ancient Xia Dynasty belongs to the official government designated by the government to operate, and the weapons exercised must be registered one by one, and finally the government sends people to collect them uniformly.

There are more than ten young men in the samurai ironware shop, and they make all kinds of ironware every day.

Under the flickering fire, sparks splashed on a large anvil, and several iron men were bare-chested, with large animal skin aprons around their lower bodies, and attached pieces of red iron to the anvils, and sledgehammers and small hammers smashed down, and a sharp, round, and long iron tool was slowly beaten into shape.

Su Ziang and Wu Liuqiyi are responsible for pulling the bellows.

The bellows are made of two-inch thick poplar planks, and the wind center is a large handful of chicken and duck feathers riveted to a square plank, and the two teenagers press their feet against the bellows door, and pull back and forth with their waists, and the wind is pressed out of the bellows and sprayed into the hearth......

After work at dusk every day, Wu Liuqi would always lead Su Ziang to wander around Jiangshang County with great interest, and Su Ziang took the opportunity to deliberately go around the county office, but he didn't see Zheng and Su Ziqing every time, which made Su Ziang, who was new to the rivers and lakes, very distressed, and there was nothing to do.

More than ten days later, the chill in the autumn wind became even stronger, and two teenagers from Jiangshang County talked together in the sunset.

"Su Ziang, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

"I don't know, I never thought about it. Su Ziang was preoccupied, and asked casually: "Six or seven If you want to be a general, do you have any specific ways?"

"Yes, there is a Taihua Mountain far away from Jiangshang County, there are many old immortals living on the mountain, there is a famous uncle in the Wu family who cultivates immortals on Taihua Mountain, I will go to Taihua Mountain to worship the mountain and cultivate immortals after the New Year, and when I have the ability, I will become a general. ”

"Are there immortals on Taihua Mountain?" Su Ziang had heard many stories of fairies and ghosts told by the old people in Taoshang Town when he was a child, and he couldn't help but think for a while, and said, "I heard that the immortals can fly?"

"Of course. Wu Liuqiyi's eyes were as big as eggs, and then he blew a god: "My uncle said, if you break through the Yuanying Realm, you can fly with a sword......

"Liuqi, can I go with you to cultivate immortals?" Without waiting for Wu Liuqi to answer, Su Ziang sighed gloomily and said, "I don't even have an official household registration, so I'm still honestly pulling my bellows, right?"

"Su Ziang, don't be discouraged, with my brother here, everything will have a way. Wu Liuqi patted his chest and said, "If my brother can go up to Taihua Mountain, I must ask my uncle to find a way for you." ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

Su Ziang was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly he was full of longing for the immortal mountain that he had never seen, and after a while, he remembered his mother Zheng and Su Ziqing, whose whereabouts were unknown, and then thought about Zheng Yuanwai, who had died under his sword, and suddenly became disheartened, and said sullenly: "Go home and sleep, and then pull the bellows tomorrow." ”

"Armor-piercing knife, quenched fifty times, net weight of eight catties and three taels, sharp blade, short handle. ”

"Chopping the horse, quenched 100 times, weighing 12 catties, the handle is 1 foot 2 inches long, the front is 3 feet 5 feet long, and the infantry is a famous weapon for breaking the formation. ”

"Goose wing knife, quenched 200 times, the knife weighs eighteen catties, thick strap rings, each ring weighs three to five catties, and it is used for foot riding. ”

The Wu shopkeeper is thick and strong, a head taller than ordinary people, he dances with one hand and the big hammer in the shop is as light as nothing, a jingling knock, the big anvil is splashed with sparks, and the tip of a spear slowly takes shape in the beating, "poof", is thrown into a large water tank next to it, and a light smoke floats out on the surface of the tank.

Su Ziang and Wu Liuqiyi left and right, racing with the hard work of their companions, pulled the bellows to the sound of the mountain, puffed up the flames in the furnace several feet long, and the iron utensils were burned red by the furnace, and were clamped to the big anvil by pliers for a while.

"Is the shopkeeper Wu at home? A shout came from the courtyard, and Su Ziang, who was pulling the bellows, glanced at it, and immediately stood with cold hairs all over his body, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.

Outside the courtyard, the autumn sun was bright, and the faint light was slanting through the grape trellises, and two catchers in red and black official robes were standing under the grape trellises waving their hands and fanning the wind, and their eyes kept looking into the shop.

"Wait, here's coming. The Wu shopkeeper responded, first put down the sledgehammer in his hand, and then untied the big animal skin apron around his waist, and walked out of the shop door with his waist down, standing under the grape trellis and drawing with two catchers, and his hand pointed to the middle finger of the shop from time to time.

Mice are afraid of cats, and thieves are afraid of soldiers.

Su Ziang was instinctively afraid of the catcher who was wearing a red and black official robe, and in a trance, the young man suspected that it must be the Wu shopkeeper who had told the government, and the two catchers were here to arrest him, and he panicked, and he couldn't think about it, so he quietly got up and jumped out of the back door of the blacksmith shop like a little mouse.

Outside the county seat of Jiangshang, an official road extends into the distance.

Su Ziang didn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest in a panic, ran out of the city gate and ran all the way along the official road, running with all his strength, without a goal, only knowing that the farther away from the catch, the better.

The ancient trees on the side of the road stand, a piece of yellowed leaves swaying on the branches, revealing a bleak autumn mood, the cicadas are singing nostalgia for summer among the leaves, I don't know how long they have been running, Su Ziang is sweating through his clothes, and he suddenly thought through one thing in his heart, if he made a special trip to arrest himself today, he would never just stand in the courtyard and shout, and the Wu shopkeeper would not stand in the courtyard with a smile and point at it.

"Be a thief with a weak heart!" The young man in Peach Blossom Town laughed at himself, stopped and looked at the sky, there was already a little twilight in the sky, he turned around and moved towards Jiangshang County step by step along the official road, only to run in a panic, and he lost his strength, and now he was weak, so he could only walk step by step.

An octagonal pavilion appeared in front of the road, from a distance, the pavilion was very dilapidated, Su Ziang stepped into the pavilion, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and took a breath, who knew that it was okay not to stop, and he was even more tired and weak after a break, he stood up and looked in the direction of Jiangshang County.

Autumn is in full swing in the mountains and wilderness, and you can't even see a corner of Jiangshang County in the distance.

The autumn day was faint and warm, Su Ziang was warmly illuminated by the sun, leaning on the stone table and thinking about his thoughts, he was tired for a while, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

"Woohoo!" a terrible beast roar suddenly sounded.

Su Ziang woke up from a deep dream, and suddenly saw that there was darkness all around, the sky was full of stars, and the roar echoed faintly in the wilderness, revealing a sense of violence and hunger.

Cry wolf!
