The liveliness of Chang'an West City is far from being comparable to ordinary towns, although the sky is not yet bright at the moment, but the main street is full of cars and horses, and the river is endless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Anzi went out early in the morning, originally wanting to call Li Bing to come with him, but he was knocked on the head twice: "I'll go again about this, how can you whisper to her!"

Yasuko trotted all the way down the alley for a while before finding a place. The door of the blacksmith shop is not large, and there are some copper billets scattered at the foot of the water tank, and a clay kiln at the door is very easy to recognize.

A middle-aged man sat in front of the kiln and played with the charcoal fire in it: his face was slightly bowed, and his shallow beard seemed to have just been shaved; he was naked, with only a leather apron, revealing curly chest hair, his arms were tanned, and three or five burn scars on his arms were very conspicuous.

Anzi was nine points sure in his heart: this person couldn't be said to be a gentle uncle, and he had to leave a good impression on him. Thinking of this, he bowed respectfully: "Excuse me, is Song Rourou here?"

The blacksmith choked on the ashes, and looked up at him with a straight face, "Who are you? What are you doing with her?"

While talking, a little girl ran out of the back room and stuffed a wooden mandarin duck into the blacksmith's hand: "Daddy, this stupid bird is not moving again, you can take a look." ”

The blacksmith took the wooden statue, threw it on the bellows, glanced at Anzi, took the little girl's arm, and patted her buttocks gently: "Go back to the house, call your sister Rou to come out." ”

After that, he glanced at Anzi: "Wait!"

Anzi smiled and saluted with a fist: "There is labor." ”

Before the words fell, the wooden statue suddenly slipped down from the top of the bellows, hit the ground, and dispersed with a "bang". It turned out that this wooden statue was not solid, and the falcon and gears in the belly were scattered all over the place in an instant.

Anzi saw that the blacksmith reached out to pick up the pieces, so he also helped, squatted down, picked up two pieces, looked up and said to him, "I'll come, you can be busy with you." He picked up the sawdust fragments in three or two, and originally wanted to put them on the top of the bellows and left them alone, but he muttered in his heart that he would show more, so he picked up the pieces and began to put them together.

The blacksmith wanted to tell him to put it down, but when he saw that he had already put it together, he stopped talking, and just sat and watched.

Anzi trembled, and fought out more than half of it in a panic, and he didn't know whether it was right or not, but he just relied on his intuition. I finally put all the parts together into four parts, but in the end, I made a difficulty, and these four pieces couldn't be put together.

He was terrified, could it be that he had just misspelled it, and he tried it twice, but it was still not right, but he heard the blacksmith say, "Take off one piece of the piece in your left hand, put the two pieces together, and then put it back together." ”

Anzi was already sweating nervously at this time, and after a sound, he was about to do it. Looking at the part on his left hand: there are so many that can be removed directly, but what is the piece he is talking about?

He casually removed a piece and set it aside, and tried to combine the two parts, and it worked. Then he drew a scoop according to the gourd, and put the four together, and the wooden mandarin duck finally reluctantly changed back to its original appearance. When he spliced it just now, he felt that the tail of the mandarin duck seemed to be moving, and under the test of his hand, the tail was really pressed down.

Anzi was a little surprised, as soon as his fingers were released, the tail slowly bounced up again, and not only that, but the wings of the mandarin duck actually fluttered up and down. Although this action is not as lifelike as a real mandarin duck, it has made Anzi very curious.

He originally wanted to ask the reason, but when he squinted and saw the blacksmith with a straight face, he stopped at once, and said in his heart: I have finally earned some face in front of his uncle, but I don't know why he still looks at me viciously.

After putting the wooden mandarin duck back on the bellows, Anzi stood aside and waited, glancing out of the corner of his eye, and the blacksmith had been staring at him, as if slightly pensive. Anzi was wondering what he was thinking, when a familiar voice at the door of the shop brought him back to his senses.

"It's really you! I'll just say how someone would come looking for me!"

Anzi was in a good mood when she saw Rourou: "Haha, I came out to do errands in the morning, and I happened to pass by here to see you." ”

Rourou sighed first, walked up to him and said in surprise: "Hey, what are you doing when you come out so early, it's still midday, and no shops are open." ”

This question caught Anzi off guard, and scratched his head: "Ahhhhh ”

Rourou didn't give up, pouting: "Important things? Then you are still here?"

"Ahh An Zixin said that he would definitely show his feet if he continued to follow her words, and was busy getting to the point: "I don't have anything else to do today, I remember that you are coming to Chang'an for the first time, why don't I take you for a walk." ”

Rourou agreed quickly: "Okay, okay." I was also thinking about ......" Before he finished speaking, he glanced at the blacksmith who was sitting on the side and serving the kiln: "Uncle, uncle, can I go?"

The blacksmith didn't look at Song Rourou when he heard this, but he glanced at Anzi and said in a deep voice: "Go early and return early." ”

"Thank you, uncle, then I'll go. Rourou Ruo received amnesty, winked at Anzi, walked up to him and whispered: "Stupid idiot, why are you still stunned, let's go." ”

Anzi was hesitating to try to hold her hand, but she was already dragged forward by Rourou's sleeve.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I heard that the 'Eight Treasure Mirror Cake' in the morning market tastes good, and it will be sold out when it is late. ”

Anzi followed the trot, and suddenly looked at the soft eyes, she seemed to react to something: "Eh, Anzi, aren't you also the first time to come to Chang'an? ”

"Ahh......h Ha ha...... Well, let's just take a stroll...... Ha ha...... Ha ha. ”

The blacksmith looked at Anzi's distant back, touched his beard, nodded slightly, and was thinking about it, but saw that the light in front of him was blocked. He looked up and saw a middle-aged monk standing in front of him.

The man was in his thirties, sturdy, and wore a somewhat shabby red robe. He held a four-foot-high brass Zen staff in his right hand, held a copper bowl in his left hand, and looked at the blacksmith with a smile: "Shopkeeper, can you fix the gap in this bowl?"

It was said that Li Bing had breakfast and went to the backyard warehouse. I thought that I should go to Ma Xuewen's house tomorrow to sit down, and when I saw my younger siblings, I couldn't be empty-handed.

This backyard warehouse is not an ordinary grocery warehouse, it is all the lottery money handed over by Li Yan when he fought in the north and south.

Li Bing opened the door and went in, coughed twice because of the moldy ash, and hurriedly opened the window to breathe. The key to this room is only available to Li Xuan, and usually except for Li Bing who dares to come in with the key, there is no one else, so naturally he doesn't often clean it up.

The room is not big, ten wooden boxes are arranged neatly around the room. Each wooden box is affixed with a seal, and in addition to writing the word "seal" with a red pen, the time and place name are written in ink directly above. Upon closer inspection, the seals of two of the wooden boxes have been torn.

Li Bing stood in the center of the room, picked the corners of his mouth, and looked around the box: The good things in Qingzhou and Qiangzhou are almost finished, which one to open next? Although there must be good things in Chang'an, maybe the things in it have something to do with which big family in the city, so it's better not to cause trouble. It's better to just "Luoyang" this box.

He was decisive, he tore the seal without worry, and just turned it over twice, but he heard two knocks at the door: "Second young master, the guys from Yongdatang are here." Looks like I'm in a hurry, why don't you go and see it? I told him to wait in the hall. ”

"Got it, I'll be right here. Li Bing put the bracelet in his hand back into the box, and gently closed the lid, not noticing that next to the bracelet he put back, there was a blue book cover, and the exposed corner of the book was printed with the words "Bai Xue Neijing".

This box of things is the color of Li Xuping's Luoyang Rebellion, and the leader of the rebels is "Liang Haocun" (see chapter 18 of volume)

Li Bing walked out of the courtyard, and before he stepped into the door of the main hall, the little guy greeted him: "Your Royal Highness, you can count on coming." My little master asked me to tell you that Ma Xuewen fainted at home and was not lightly ill. He rushed over first, and if you have time, you might as well go. ”

"What?" Li Bing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly went out: "What's the matter?"

The little guy followed behind him: "I didn't say it carefully, I said that it was fine when I had breakfast, and then I practiced martial arts, and I just played two sets of stick techniques, and I fainted in the yard." ”

When Li Bing heard this, he only hummed and said to the doorman standing aside:

"Hurry up and get ready for the horses!"
