Chapter 8 Farewell, Kongjia Town
After a while, under the instructions of the prefect, the townspeople all dispersed silently, leaving only the Kong Blacksmith family and Lin Wen, Kong Rui was firmly controlled by Lin Wen, but Kong Shi blocked his eyes, not wanting him to see anything.
The chief asked, "Are you a blacksmith?"
Although the blacksmith Kong was depressed in his heart, he did not dare to make a mistake, and replied honestly: "Yes, I am a blacksmith. ”
The chief glanced at the few people behind the blacksmith and asked, "Then who are?"
The blacksmith said, "It's my family and brothers. ”
The chief looked at Lin Wen twice, because the demon cultivator hadn't left yet, and Lin Wen didn't dare to make a mistake at all. The chief didn't see anything, so he said, "Go back and pack your things at once, and set off in a moment." ”
Blacksmith Kong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?"
But the commander did not answer, and with a wave of his hand, four soldiers came up and pushed the blacksmith away.
Kong Shi also hurriedly pulled his son to follow, and Lin Wen was silent and walked behind them.
Lin Wen thought as he walked, should he go with Blacksmith Kong this time? If he left, he would be able to make a deal when he returned to the sect, but after all, this Blacksmith and his wife treated him like brothers, so they left like this, and they felt uncomfortable in their hearts, and it was difficult to deal with them left and right, so they had to decide to go with the blacksmith and them first, and take a step at a time.
Back at the blacksmith's house, the four soldiers urged the blacksmith to quickly pack up his things and prepare to move, although the blacksmith was reluctant, but when he thought of the magic power of the demon cultivator, he was also scared in his heart, so he had to pack up with the Hun family, put his luggage on the cart, and left home under the escort of four Qiqian soldiers.
Lin Wen had been holding Kong Rui tightly, worried that this child would do something irrational.
Kong Rui suddenly remembered in his heart, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!" But after all, he still calmed down, and when he saw that Lin Wen had such a great ability, he didn't dare to make a move, and so many adults didn't dare to move, so he couldn't do it himself, so he had to hold back all the problems.
Not far from the gate of the town, the blacksmith couple looked back at Kong Jiazhen, their eyes couldn't help but shed tears, but Kong Rui didn't understand, he was just scared and curious in his heart, and he didn't dare to talk more.
The soldiers came up and pushed them, urging them to go quickly.
Along the way, the blacksmith couple didn't know how many times they looked back, and every time they looked back, their hearts were heavy, until they couldn't see Kongjia Town anymore, and the family never looked back and moved forward silently.
A group of eight people, all the way to the southwest, Lin Wen and the blacksmith took turns pulling the cart, not daring to show their cultivation at all, but fortunately, the four Qiqian soldiers were not very vicious, but kept urging them to move forward quickly.
On the road, the blacksmiths also saw a lot of people like them, some of them were dragging their families, and many of them were only young and middle-aged men.
All the escort soldiers were polite to the people who dragged their families and mouths, and for those young and middle-aged men, they were beaten and scolded, and in the face of knives and guns, those people did not dare to resist, so they had to swallow their anger and move forward.
After walking for another twenty or thirty miles, I arrived at a town, and a stone on the side of the road had three big characters written on it: "Qingshui Town".
When they entered Qingshui Town, it was getting dark, and the blacksmiths and their wives had divided a house for the night, and it seemed that the houses of the residents of the town had been requisitioned, and the four soldiers no longer followed them, and it seemed that they had completed their mission and left.
The blacksmith couple complained for a few words, then opened the luggage and let Kong Rui sleep first, but Kong Rui pulled Lin Wen and asked, "Uncle Lin, don't you also know how to fly, you should be very capable, why don't you beat them?" But Kong Rui held back all the way, and finally couldn't control himself and asked.
When the blacksmith couple heard this, they looked at Lin Wen with a little surprise, but Lin Wen smiled faintly and said: "Where can I beat them, if I can beat them, I will do it in Kongjia Town at that time, why am I still being escorted here like you?"
The blacksmith vaguely knew that Lin Wen had some ability, but he didn't know how it was, and when he heard Lin Wen say this, he knew that there might be something else hidden, so he said to Kong Rui: "Don't ask, Rui'er, go to bed early!"
Kong Rui saw his father say this, so he had to go to sleep obediently. Lying on the bed, Kong Rui thought: I have never seen Uncle Lin and I want to stay in the air like that person, it seems that he is really better than Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin is already powerful enough, who else can be better than Uncle Lin?
Early the next morning, the blacksmith's family was shouted, and after breakfast, they continued to set off, but this time it was the ordinary people of the brigade, only a few soldiers were escorted behind, and it seemed that they had no fear, Lin Wen was curious, and decided to take a look first.
Sure enough, after not going far, he saw a few young men in front of the procession, who saw that there was an opportunity, and wanted to run away, but the soldiers didn't care, as if they let them escape.
The young men had not gone far when they heard a scream, and after a while they saw a group of soldiers escorting a batch of ore out of the mountain, as if nothing had happened. When they went further, they saw the bodies of those men lying on the side of the road.
When the others saw the fate of those people, they couldn't help but be frightened, and they didn't even have the idea of escaping, and Kong Shi tightly covered Kong Rui's eyes, not wanting him to see the bloody scene.
After a few more days' walking, the procession came to a halt in a clearing in front of a valley, where the soldiers asked the blacksmith family to separate from the common laborers, and then sit down and rest for a while.
After waiting for a while, another group of people were escorted from elsewhere, and they were also separated.
Seeing that the number of people was about the same, on the side of the blacksmith crowd, a chief of the blacksmith said to the blacksmiths: "Each blacksmith can only bring five more people as helpers, if there are many people in the family, send one to the opposite side, if there are not enough, go to the opposite side and choose a few as helpers, and after choosing the manpower, you can enter the valley." Now spread out as a team of blacksmith families!"
I saw a group of wolf-like soldiers also rushed in, dragged out one or two of those blacksmiths, and cried for a while, crying for their fathers and mothers, and became a mess, and those soldiers immediately turned sticks and swords at each other, forcing them apart.
Kong Rui was tightly held in Kong's arms, for fear that he would make some impulsive moves.
Since there are only four people here, Blacksmith Kong can also go to the opposite side and choose two helpers to come over.
Lin Wen raised his head and swept towards the crowd opposite, and saw a familiar face at a glance, but this person looked sallow, and there was a six or seven-year-old child beside him, who was pretending to be standing there casually, but he didn't see Lin Wen.
Soon it was Blacksmith Kong's turn to choose someone, and Lin Wen quietly said to Blacksmith Kong: "Big brother, can you pick those two people over, he is my old friend." ”
When the blacksmith saw the man, he saw that he had a sallow face, and that he was not very strong, and that he had a child with him, how could he do a lot of work if he had to work?
But when Blacksmith Kong went to choose someone, he still pointed to the middle-aged man with a sallow face: "I'll choose these two." ”
When the other blacksmiths saw Su Qingyun's condition, they immediately showed disdain, and they didn't know why Blacksmith Kong actually picked such a sick man; the middle-aged man didn't expect that he would be picked out by the blacksmith first, so he was stunned, but he didn't think much about it, so he pulled the child over.
The blacksmith led the middle-aged man back with a muffled voice, the man looked up and saw Lin Wen, although he was a little surprised in his heart, he quickly pretended to be nothing, and the two tacitly dragged the cart into the valley with the blacksmith Kong.
Lin Wen walked into the valley, only to see that the area in this valley is very large, looking from a distance, only to see the cliffs on all sides are towering and steep, and there is a large open land in the valley, and there is a wide road in the middle, and there are carts transporting ore on the road from time to time.
On both sides of the road, there are neatly built courtyards on the open land in the direction of the valley mouth, each courtyard is a workshop, and there is also the sound of clanging iron; on the open land on the inside, there are ordinary houses; some houses have shops selling some daily necessities; and then there are large wastelands inside, and it can be vaguely seen that there were people who used to grow grain and vegetables there.
