Chapter 11 The Rivers and Lakes of Pen and Ink

Mu Xiaokui grew up in Shizhai Ancient Village and has never left for seventeen years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She envies the chivalrous warriors who are chivalrous and righteous under the pen and ink.

In her eyes, there is no more desirable place than the rivers and lakes.

Mu Xiaokui thought that if she entered the rivers and lakes, it would be a storm.

She wants to learn from Lao Luo's Feng Siniang, ride the fastest horse, climb the highest mountain, eat the spiciest food, drink the strongest wine, play the sharpest knife, and kill the most ruthless people.

Shizhai Ancient Village can't satisfy her, there are no fast horses, no mountains, no spicy dishes, no spirits, no sharp knives, and no ruthless people.

Some of them are like the stones piled up in the ancient village of Shizhai, cold and lonely, and there is no splash for half a day, and this day is really boring.

Mu Xiaokui sat on the threshold, looking at the green mountains in the distance, she firmly believed that the rivers and lakes she wanted were on the other side of the mountain.

"When!when!when!"

There was a sound of striking iron.

"Uncle is the only blacksmith in this village, and the farm tools in the village are all made by him. Mu Xiaokui explained.

Ji Chen nodded, he had already guessed a thing or two when he saw so many iron farm tools when he entered the house.

Mu Xiaokui walked over to help the uncle push the bellows, the whirring bellows sounded, and bursts of cyan flames rose, scorching the air.

The uncle took out the red-hot iron inserted in the coals, and struck it with a hammer in his right hand, each time carrying a large number of sparks.

Mu Xiaokui looked at the embryo and felt very unfamiliar, not like a common farm tool, even if he had never really understood it, but after seventeen years of hearing and seeing, he knew a lot, so he asked curiously: "What is Uncle building this time." ”

The uncle didn't pay attention to it, his feet were the center, his calves exerted force, his legs were belted to his waist, his belt was back, and his arms were carried on his back, and the muscles all over his body were mobilized.

"When" struck on the embryo, and the embryo did not become dim because it left the charcoal fire, but became more and more hot, and the splashing sparks made the embryo burn like a fire.

The hammer in his right hand struck the embryo faster and faster, until it stopped at a certain point, maintaining its rhythm, and secretly closing the avenue between exhalation and inhalation.

The mysterious momentum around the body is rising, and the sparks that are splashing around are slowly rising, condensing and scattering.

Mu Xiaokui and Ji Chen were stunned by the side, and they were immersed in it for a while.

The uncle immersed the burnt red embryo into the spring water, and with a 'bang', bursts of white gas surged, and it took a quarter of an hour for the embryo to change to its original color.

The uncle didn't care, wiped his hands with the black rags that had been wiped on his shoulders and said.

"White is strong, yellow is tough, yellow is tough, yellow and white are strong and tough. ”

"What?" Mu Xiaokui asked.

The uncle drank the tea beside him, looked at the rising sun, and said casually: "What time is it? If you don't go to buy vegetables, you will only be left with leftovers that others don't want." ”

Mu Xiaokui patted her head, "I was fascinated by it, but I forgot about it." ”

Then he hurriedly rushed to the house, took the vegetable basket, and pulled Ji Chen away.

"I'm going to go grocery shopping right now!"

As he left, the uncle smiled and waved his hand, and a sentence came from afar.

"Today I'm going to eat fish, go to the old fish and get a fat herring, remember not to give money, he hasn't paid for the harpoon I made for him last time. ”

Mu Xiaokui and Ji Chen had already walked away, and Rhubarb was following behind.

The uncle turned to look at the embryo in the spring water, his eyes were shining, and he muttered.

"It's been seventeen years, and after all, I have to cast a ......"

......

Ji Chen and Mu Xiaokui stepped on the damp bluestone slab, and the moss in the dark corner grew extremely densely.

"Exhibitionist, what did Uncle just say?" Mu Xiaokui asked.

Ji Chen said: "Uncle asked you to buy a fat herring. ”

"That's not it! Mu Xiaokui jumped up for fear of hitting this Ji Chen's head, "I mean what white and what hard is in the uncle's mouth." ”

"'White is strong, yellow is tough, yellow is tough, yellow and white are strong and tough. 'Is that the case?' Ji Chen asked.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Mu Xiaokui pouted and thought for a long time, "What do you mean?"

Ji Chen said: "Do you really want to know?"

"Don't sell it, believe it or not, old lady, I ......have an axe," Mu Xiaokui glared at her, and said with her hand gesturing to the axe.

Ji Chen said helplessly: "Good sword!"

"What?"

Ji Chen explained, "White is strong, yellow is tough, yellow is tough, yellow and white are strong and tough." Good sword also. This is the ...... of the swordsman."

Before Ji Chen finished speaking, Mu Xiaokui interrupted and said, "Liangjian also, you mean that the uncle is forging the sword?"

Mu Xiaokui walked by herself, suddenly turned around and said solemnly: "Impossible, uncle has never forged a sword in the past seventeen years, never!"

Rhubarb ran happily around Ji Chen.

Ji Chen said: "Seventeen years ago?"

Mu Xiaokui was silent for a long time before saying, "I've begged my uncle to forge a sword for me since I was five years old, but every time my uncle shirks it, why do you cast a sword this time?"

Ji Chen shrugged his shoulders and walked past Mu Xiaokui, the rhubarb that circled around Ji Chen couldn't dodge and hit Mu Xiaokui headfirst.

Mu Xiaokui's crescent-like eyes suddenly widened like lanterns at Rhubarb, Rhubarb stuck out his tongue, and fortunately ran to the front of Ji Chen.

Mu Xiaokui couldn't figure out why the uncle would cast a sword, maybe it was just that the uncle said that he didn't want to cast a sword, looking at Ji Chen, who had already walked away, he hurriedly chased after him, and hit Ji Chen's back with a vegetable basket, Ji Chen felt a pain.

"I can't believe that you exhibitionist knows so much!"

The two bought some vegetables and stopped in front of the fisherman.

"Ah, Miss Aoi hasn't been here for a long time. The old fish said with a grin. "Just look at it, it's all freshly caught, it's fresh!"

Mu Xiaokui looked at the fresh fish in several wooden basins, and was just about to squat down and asked, "Uncle Yu, ...... this herring fish?"

Before he finished speaking, a fish in the wooden basin next to him jumped up, flicked his tail and shook up the sticky water, spraying Mu Xiaokui's face, making his face unclean.

Mu Xiaokui raised her head and smiled brightly at the old fish.

Lao Yu was shocked, he had seen this smile two years ago.

At that time, there was an idle man in the village, thinking that Mu Xiaokui was not very old, and he had a bad heart, and he actually wanted to tease Mu Xiaokui, but he just touched his little face, but Mu Xiaokui chased him three streets with an axe, and when he walked out of the dark street, Mu Xiaokui was showing a smug smile on his face.

"Do you know what to say when you go back?"

"Know...... If you know, you ...... Let's just say that it hits ...... on the tree. ”

"If there is a next time, the old lady will chop off your hand, feed the rhubarb!"

When the idler came out of the dark street, his nose and eyes were already swollen, and he was stunned that he didn't see his appearance.

I happened to finish fishing that day and was about to go home, and all this was real. Since then, he has never dared to speak loudly to Mu Xiaokui.

......

"Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu, what are you thinking?" Mu Xiaokui interrupted the old fish's thoughts.

The old fish suddenly heard the voice of the little fish and trembled.

"Oh, distracted!

Mu Xiaokui pointed to the grass carp that had just splashed his body in the water, and said dissatisfiedly: "I want this grass carp?"

Ji Chen reminded in a whisper beside him: "Uncle is going to eat herring, you grass carp ......"

"You want to take care of it, this fish makes the old lady smell fishy, can I let it go?" Mu Xiaokui pointed to the fish and said.

Ji Chen suddenly shut up.

"Hehe, since Lao Tie wants to eat, I naturally can't be stingy, last time he also made me a pair of harpoons, which is really handy. The old fish grabbed the herring and put it in Xiao Kui's vegetable basket.

Lao Tie is naturally the name of the uncle, everyone does not know the original name of the blacksmith uncle, and they do not want to know, the people in the village believe that since it is a blacksmith, it must be surnamed Tie, just like the fish seller is called Lao Yu, there is no problem!

The smile on Mu Xiaokui's face was even worse, and she said sweetly: "Uncle Yu, thank you." ”

The two of them finished buying groceries and were about to turn around and leave. A voice came from behind him.

"Aoi-chan!"

A young man estimated to be as big as Ji Chen ran over from a distance, panting.

"Xiaokui, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become beautiful again?" the young man said directly without waiting to take a breath.

Mu Xiaokui glanced at him and said lukewarmly, "Didn't we just meet three days ago?"

The young man took a breath and said: "If you don't see each other for a day, if you don't see each other, these three days are naturally nine autumns, Xiaokui, think about it, how long are nine autumns?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "So three days is a long time!, nine autumns have passed, and Xiaokui has become a lot more beautiful again?"

"What's a beautiful way?" Mu Xiaokui walked back.

The young man said with a sincere face: "The face is beautiful, and the hair is also beautiful, black and bright, like a cow has licked it, and when a fly falls on it, it will flash its waist......"

Ji Chen couldn't hold back when he heard this, and laughed, 'It's like a cow has licked it, and the flies will flash their waists' is really a bit level.
