Chapter 229, Old Stories in the Old City

readx;?“ Hero, you can put it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The little boy said to Meng Jingye with a bitter face. The little boy himself seemed to dislike Meng very much, and Jingye made such a move of touching his head, but he didn't dare to refuse. Meng Jingye, who was watching, also smiled.

Meng Jingye untied his weapon and handed it to the little boy, who took out a roll of coarse cloth from the box under the bed, wrapped Meng Jingye's weapon two or three times, and put it in the hole. Then they put all the planks and miscellaneous items back into place, and even the water tank was moved back.

The little boy wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Meng Jingye: "Okay, hero, everything is in order!"

Meng Jingye nodded, took out a silver ingot, and threw it over. The little boy hurriedly caught it. When he opened it, the surprise on the little boy's face turned into a sad face, because he had a silver ingot in his hand.

"Hero, I'm ..... I can't find that much change!" said the little boy with some grievance. Where did they get so much change for a family like theirs? If so, it would be enough to buy some coarse rice to survive. That would move here.

"Take it, and take the excess, just think it's my money for hiring you. Waited until the city. I need you to show me around. After all, I haven't been back to Tan Long City for a long time, and the things around me are not very familiar. When the time comes, I hope you can show me the way, don't let me get lost!" Meng Jingye looked at him with a smile, to be honest, Meng Jingye is very handsome, and her smile is even more charming, generally handsome and beautiful, it is easy to get the favor of others, especially if you have a smile like Meng Jingye, it will be easier.

The little boy also smiled and said, "Okay." Hero!" The little boy was also infected by Meng Jingye and became a lot more lively. The embarrassment just now has been forgotten by him.

Meng Jingye, who had no weapons on his body, passed the inspection smoothly. Because of the flow of people, the inspection is not very strict, after all, if you have to search or something, it will affect the passing rate too much, which has a great impact on the lives of people in the city, generally often come and go to the town, such as vegetable farmers, firewood, people who transport Gongzhi's things, basically do not check much. Because of the faces of these people. The people at the gates of the city have basically remembered what these people look like.

For outsiders, the kind of people who look like warriors are inspected a little stricter, especially those who wear looser robes. Because of this kind of clothing, it is easy to hide weapons, and other clothes are compact, so just casually check the belt and let them go. After all, this kind of clothing, except for the belt that can hide the soft sword, it is impossible to hide anything else.

Meng Jingye walked on the familiar and unfamiliar street. On the ground, many places have not changed, but what has changed is the people here, I don't know if I remember these people, or if the people here have changed. Compared with Pingnancheng, Tan Longcheng gave himself the feeling. On the contrary, it is more like his hometown. After all, it was the first time I came to the city.

Although it was said that the little boy was taking him, basically, Meng Jingye was walking by himself. He didn't need the little boy's guidance.

Walking casually, it didn't take long for Meng Jingye to return to this blacksmith shop street again in a daze, but there was no longer the prosperity of the past, and many shops had closed, after all, the blacksmith shop was in the street. The big head is the forging of weapons, because the degree of wear and tear of weapons is much faster than farm tools, kitchen knives and some ordinary household items.

The blacksmiths who make a living by crafting weapons. I can't do it anymore. After all, weapons are not allowed to be brought into the city now, so how can they be taken out? Therefore, those who should be out of business should be closed, because there are not so many other businesses for them to take over, and life will become a problem, and there will be no need to continue to open it.

Meng Jingye walked to the blacksmith shop he had originally bought, the locks on it were already a little rusty, and most importantly, his key had long since lost it. But it doesn't matter. Meng Jingye stretched out two hands, grabbed the door lock and pulled it gently. The door lock breaks and opens. "Squeak...."Meng Jingye pushed open the door, and a thick puff of dust greeted him.

Meng Jingye frowned. Take the sleeve and fan the dust. But I still allowed myself to choke. The little boy next to him was even more choked.

At this time, a man came out of the window next to him. It seems to have heard a voice outside.

"Hi...... I thought it was business coming to the door. It's you, kid. Why?, where have you been going for so long?" the man leaned on the window and said with a smile at Meng Jingye.

Meng Jingye turned around. looked at the man, and did not answer his words, but said with a smile: "It turned out to be Uncle Wang, why are you not busy today?"

Uncle Wang is a member of Meng Jingye's family next door, he is still a bachelor in his forties, but he is a good ironcraft, and his craftsmanship is among the top few on this street. So business has always been very good. I have to be busy until late every day before I can finish work.

"Hey. Don't mention it. Now...... It's deserted, there are not many people who come to the door to strike iron, this business is getting more and more difficult to mix!" Uncle Wang said half-leaning on the windowsill and holding his arms. "By the way, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time? I'm afraid that the blacksmith business will not be able to continue, you must be ready to make another way to make a living at any time!"

"Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern. I'll just come back and take a look. I'm not going to stay here anymore. Meng Jingye replied.

"That's good. You young people. Still energetic and hardworking. The outside world is so big. It's time to go out and break in, break in! Hey, unlike us old bones, we don't have to go~" As he spoke, Uncle Wang disappeared from the window. Not long after, the sound of "clanging" iron sounded again.

Meng Jingye didn't say anything, and when he left the house, there was also a thick layer of dust on the ground, and when he stepped down, it was a footprint. Even the dust was splashed a little, and everything in the forge was already swallowed up in dust. There was also some rust on the iron stove.

Walking into the yard, the tree in the yard had been eaten by termites and fell to the ground, swallowing up the well on the ground. Several branches had been inserted into the well. It is estimated that the water inside is undrinkable.

In his own house, the paper on the windows was torn, and he pushed the door open. There was a rotten smell inside. His futon, as well as some of the clothes he hadn't taken away, were already rotten, and there were a lot of rice and mouse droppings on the ground, and even fragments of his own clothes. These rats are really rampant!

Well, it also smells of rot. This..... What the hell is going on?

Meng Jingye sniffed. Follow the direction from which the smell of decay came. Found that place! This ...... Meng Jingye saw such a situation, but he didn't know what to say! )
