Chapter 285: The Old Blacksmith

Seven days had passed, and Xia Fan took Yun Shulian and Tan Lengyu to leave Qinglong Ridge and return to Xuanwu Sect. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it is obviously too early to return to Xuanwu Sect, with Xia Fan's speed at this time, don't say thousands of miles, even thousands of miles are too many miles to travel for more than half a month, the reason why Xia Fan is so early in Longling, still wants to cherish the time with the second daughter, although the three of them have been alone for more than five months, but the atmosphere of cultivation is really depressing, and when he returns to Xuanwu Sect, he doesn't know what kind of scene he will be like when he goes to the back mountain, so Xia Fan decided to accompany the second daughter to relax.

Therefore, after the three of them left Qinglongling, they did not rush away, but went northeast, preparing to go around in a circle and then return to the sect.

Xia Fan can be said to be a person with no lofty ambitions, this kind of life is exactly what he is pursuing, as long as he can swim with the people he loves, it is his ultimate goal, what strength, becoming an immortal and becoming a god, has long been thrown out of the clouds.

At first, Xia Fan was indeed very comfortable, whenever there was a strange scenery, Yun Shu and Tan Lengyu would pull him to be surprised, and then there was a smile on his face, Xia Fan was fascinated by their smiles; whenever he encountered something strange, the second daughter would not help but pull Xia Fan to ask questions, and then Xia Fan would play a trick to solve the puzzle for the second daughter, Xia Fan enjoyed that kind of admiring eyes, but this comfort only lasted for a few days, and was interrupted.

This is the sixth day of leaving Qinglongling, the three of them passed through a place, this place is called Steel City, famous for its abundance of iron ore, the three people of Gangcheng entered the city without thinking, anyway, the three of them are not familiar with this generation, and they enter the village when they meet the village, and they enter the city when they meet the city.

The steel city is rich in iron ore, and naturally there is a kind of professional "blacksmith", so the three of them just entered the city, and they found countless blacksmith shops in the streets and alleys and all kinds of merchants coming and going.

This discovery surprised Xia Fan, but it was also a sigh, lamenting the prosperity of this mortal city.

The reason why it is said that this is a mortal city is naturally because Xia Fan found that the cultivation of these merchants and shops is not high, most of them are martial arts in the Fan Wu Realm, and the Wu Wu Realm Wu Xiu Mo said that in the sphere of influence of the Xuanwu Sect, even in the Xia Kingdom, he can only act as an ordinary soldier, and he is naturally recognized by Xia Fan as a mortal.

Therefore, the clanging sound everywhere Xia Fan and the blacksmiths who were almost in shape to catch up with the strong men of the Qumu Clan only aroused his interest for a while, and he couldn't let him deliberately take a second look.

It was nearly noon, and the three of them were about to find a restaurant to taste the special dishes here, but at this moment, a voice sounded from behind Xia Fan.

"Catch the thief! catch the thief...... Ahem......."

The three of them turned around almost at the same time, and then they saw a thin young man running towards them, and not far behind him, an old man who was over seventy years old seemed to be chasing the young man, but the old man's health did not seem to be good, and he just ran a few steps before he bent down and coughed.

Looking closely at the emaciated young man, he saw that he was holding something in his hand, and the hanging hemp rope could be guessed to be the old man's money bag.

When encountering such a young man with hands and feet to rob the old man's money, he must be a lazy and lazy person, and he is despised, Xia Fan naturally will not stand by and watch such a thing, but Xia Fan did not make any moves, but looked at Tan Lengyu with a smile.

Xia Fan didn't forget Tan Lengyu's feat at the beginning, and sure enough, when the young man ran to Tan Lengyu's approach, Tan Lengyu suddenly flew to the ground, and then the emaciated young man snorted and fell to the ground.

Before the young man could get up, Tan Lengyu had already stepped forward and stepped on his chest, snatching the money bag from his hand while scolding.

The young man naturally knew that he had met a master, and begged for mercy again and again, and finally was beaten by Tan Lengyu before giving up and leaving.

The money bag was returned to the old man, the old man was grateful to Dade, it turned out that the old man was an old blacksmith outside the steel city, and he went to the city every day to set up a stall to sell some knives and axes, farm tools, and small tools that were easy to use, but the steel city blacksmith shops were everywhere, such as he did business by setting up stalls, and it was good to earn dozens of dollars a day to support his family.

In order to thank Tan Lengyu for keeping his money bag, the old man tried his best to invite the three of them to his home as guests, and the three of them had no intention of going, but at this time, the old man suddenly coughed violently.

Seeing his pity, Tan Lengyu and Yun Shu couldn't help but throw Xia Fan a look of help at the same time, Xia Fan nodded knowingly, and Tan Lengyu happily agreed to the old man's request.

As soon as the old man heard that the three of them were willing to come as guests, he immediately packed up the iron tools on the ground, picked up the burden, and led the three of them out of the city with joy on his face.

The old man's home is not far from the steel city, three miles out of the city, but it is still not easy for the old man to carry the burden to and from this distance every day.

A small courtyard made of loess, two dilapidated grass houses and grass sheds, this is the old man's home, and an old woman on crutches is feeding a few poultry.

"Old woman, quick, hurry up and cook, there is a guest at home!" the old man shouted from afar, his voice mixed with sincere joy, and his words were simple and not pretentious.

Although the old man was on crutches, he didn't ask much, and turned around and walked into the house after greeting, followed by the second daughter.

The old man put down his burden, hurriedly moved a small wooden table out, took a stool, and shouted to Xia Fan to sit down, and took the teapot to make tea.

Xia Fan looked at the small courtyard, the most striking thing in the courtyard was a stove, not far away a pile of iron blocks of different sizes, all kinds of wrought iron tools were readily available, and the small courtyard was slightly cluttered.

The old man's tea had arrived, and the two began to chat.

"Little brother, listen to your accent, you're not a local, are you?"

"Yes, we've been playing since then, by the way, uncle, what about the rest of your family?"

......

After some small talk, Xia Fan learned that the old man's surname was Li, and he had made a living by striking iron all his life, with no children and no daughters, and Blacksmith Li loved to strike iron when he was young, and he was inspired to become a forger.

Xia Fan sighed for the old man's opportunity, there are not many mortals in the world, even if Xia Fan has the heart to help the world, there is no way to help the world, only to grasp himself and break free from the shackles of his fate.

In addition to sighing, Xia Fan was also kind-hearted, and he called the pulse of the old man during the chat, although Xia Fan's move was the wish of Tan Lengyu and Yun Shu, but to make them happy and help others for good, Xia Fan was still very willing.
