After returning home, Yang Qing went to work in the fields with Yang Dazhi's ox cart, and He Xiu sorted out Yang Qing's clothes at home, wrapped them in a bag and took them away.

Not to mention what kind of mood Yang Dazhi's family is in now, and to say that time flies, rising and falling, the day has passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, everyone has turned on the lights.

Yang Qing and Yang Dazhi came back late today, and after a day's work, they had finished plowing the rest of the land, and then they were about to sow seeds.

After a day's work, Yang Qing still looked very energetic, unloading ox carts and making forage with his hands and feet.

He Xiu prepared the meal, much more hearty than usual, Yang Song was greedy, his attention was attracted by the food, and he temporarily forgot about his brother Yang Qing's trip to the town tomorrow.

This meal was very warm, and Yang Dazhi, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, also drank two glasses of slightly muddy liquor tonight, slightly drunk.

After eating, Yang Song went to sleep, and after a day of crazy play with ordinary big children, he was already tired.

Yang Qing helped his mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Yang Dazhi waved his hand and beckoned Yang Qing to sit at the table.

"Yang Qing, tomorrow you are going to go to the town with Li Hongwei, you have to study well in the town, see more and learn more" Yang Dazhi earnestly instructed, "There is no master to teach you there, it is all up to you to pay attention to learning, we are not as careful as others to pay tuition and learn carefully, but we have to be so strong." ”

"Dad knows you're not a troublemaker, but Dad still has to tell you not to cause trouble outside"

"I know Dad, don't worry, I won't be lazy there, and I won't cause trouble for you" Yang Qing solemnly promised, and the apprehension in his heart was a little thicker.

"Son, if someone bullies you there, come back if you can't do it, what's the big deal" He Xiu said while washing the dishes and chopsticks, He Xiuxin has been worried that Yang Qing will be bullied outside.

"If you go out and run back if you encounter some difficulties, what else can you learn" Yang Dazhi knocked on the table, not quite agreeing with He Xiu's words, "If you can encounter things, don't care, it's good for you to suffer a little, if someone really bullies you and makes you can't stand it, come back and farm with your father"

"I'm honest, who can bully me, even if someone bullies me, I don't care about them, I can learn the ability to do it" Yang Qing said with a smile, taking his father's words to heart.

"It's best if you can learn skills, it's okay if you can't learn it, you have to pay attention to safety when you're outside, and when you're free, I'll go to the town to see you" He Xiu said in a comforting tone, wiped his hands, and sat down at the table.

"You have to be diligent yourself, help you do the work you can, help you do what you can't do, and the diligent children don't annoy people anywhere, talk less and do more" Yang Dazhi and He Xiu said one by one, nothing more than telling Yang Qing what to do.

"I'll leave tomorrow, our family's land is about to be planted" Yang Qing said with a little guilt, in the past few years, his father and his father have been working in the field, and this time he has to follow his mother He Xiu to work in the field.

"You don't have to worry about things in the field, didn't I and your father farm before, and I can't catch up with you as an adult?" He Xiu said disapprerovingly.

The kerosene lamp 'crackled' from time to time, and the three of them chatted at the table like this, Yang Qing's father and mother said a lot, all of which were words to tell Yang Qing to learn to take care of himself outside. Yang Qing seriously agreed to say that he had memorized it.

Gradually, the night was already deep, and Yang Dazhi said everything that needed to be said several times, and then went to sleep with peace of mind.

Yang Qing tossed and turned in the bed, all kinds of emotions lingering in his heart, and it was as difficult to fall asleep as last night. No matter what Yang Qing is doing now, the night is still the night, and it will not change or stop because of him.

......

Before dawn, Yang Qing got up early to wash, and didn't sleep for a few hours a night, but he was still full of energy at the moment, washing his face and hair...... After that, he changed into the clean clothes that his mother He Xiu prepared for him.

Yang Qing is about six feet tall (one foot = 25cm), and after wearing well-fitting and clean clothes, he is much more handsome than usual, often doing farm work in the fields, and his skin is a little dark, making his originally thin body look much stronger.

At this time, Yang Dazhi and his wife also got up, and Yang Qing went to the town today to prepare in advance, so as not to make Li Hongwei wait. It didn't take long for smoke to rise from the chimney on the roof.

......

"Brother, don't go... Whining... Brother, I won't let you go" Yang Song tugged on Yang Qing's clothes, snot and tears.

After breakfast, everything was cleaned up, Yang Dazhi and his wife instructed again, the sun rose high, thinking that the Li family should also finish eating, Yang Qing just carried the burden of a few clothes and walked out, then Yang Song really realized that Yang Qing was going out, and he began to make trouble.

"Let go, look at your brother's clothes, your brother will come back in two days after going out" He Xiu stepped forward to pick up Yang Song, and said coaxing and deception, but Yang Song just didn't let go.

"Brother, brother go out, wait for you to buy something delicious, let go of your hand, be obedient" Yang Qingke knows how sticky Yang Song is.

"I don't want good food, I want my brother to play with me... Woo" Yang Song let go of the hand that was pulling on his clothes and hugged his thighs again, and wiped Yang Qing with tears and snot.

"Okay, it's not too late, I'm going to send you there" He Xiu picked up Yang Song, who was still crying, and said helplessly and worriedly.

"Song, don't make trouble, go to your Uncle Li's house with your brother, okay" He Xiu discussed with Yang Song in a soft tone.

......

A red horse galloped along the path, leaving deep horseshoe prints, and immediately sat two people, a young man in his twenties and a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old, these two were Li Hongwei and Yang Qing, who left the village and hurried to Shuangxing Town.

Yang Qing rode a horse for the first time, the horseback was relatively bumpy, his expression tightly grasped Li Hongwei's clothes and did not dare to let go, as the surrounding trees quickly retreated, he was also getting farther and farther away from the home that had raised him for fourteen years.

The crying of his younger brother, the reluctance and worry of his mother, and the encouraging eyes of his father made Yang Qing dare not look back.

At this moment, Yang Qing has the sadness of the time when they just separated and the yearning for the future, as well as the excitement and excitement of the rich and prosperous life and the slightest fear.

The jujube red horse can travel a hundred miles, and in less than an hour, it has already arrived outside the town of Shuangxing, Li Hongwei and Yang Qing turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the town on foot with the reins.

Shuangxing Town is not big, and there are a lot of people coming and going in a day, picking firewood, hunting, pushing wheelbarrows... The guards listlessly watched the pedestrians, looking for suspicious people or picking quarrels.

Yang Qing and Li Hongwei did not arouse the interest of the guards, so they glanced at it casually, took the cost of the two copper plates and put them into the city.

"You need a copper coin to enter the city once" Yang Qing muttered, quite painful, this time when he came out of the house, his father gave him a total of ten copper plates, and there was really no money left at home, "No wonder my mother comes alone every New Year."

"Haha, Yang Qing, don't feel distressed, you can buy a baked cake for a copper coin, and make more money after learning your skills" Li Hongwei laughed and patted Yang Qing's shoulder.

"Let's go, take you to take a good walk, and get familiar with this Shuangxing Town"

There are a lot of people passing by on the streets, and the streets are lined with either various shops or stalls of all kinds. Selling cakes and steamed buns, selling cloth, ornaments and playthings, and a showman, surrounded by several layers of people, these Yang Qing had never seen it in the small village at all, everything was so fresh, and it was dizzying.

The two chatted while walking, and Li Hongwei introduced Shuangxing Town to Yang Qing and the blacksmith shop in detail.

Shuangxing Town belongs to Fengju City, the two are more than 180 miles apart, and the scale is also a hundred times different, Li Hongwei has only accompanied the old man to Fengju City once, I heard that Fengju City is very mysterious, there are many areas where ordinary people are not allowed to enter at all, and all birds that enter the sky above Fengju City will fall to the ground for no reason.

There is nothing surprising about Shuangxing Town, like the surrounding towns, it is full of merchants and shops, there are no outstanding scenery, and there are no legends, even the officials in the town are not locals.

The two watched while walking, remembering the same village, and also remembering the time when they played together as children, Li Hongwei said everything he knew.

There are a total of three blacksmith shops in Shuangxing Town, Li Hongwei is talking about the most skilled one, which is very famous in the town, and the blacksmith master is very good in the town.

The name of this blacksmith is eight-wrought ironshop, and the owner of the ironshop is the master of this blacksmith, Wang Erli, and people who know him call him Master Wang.

Wang Erli has a big brother Wang Dali, who is much more powerful than Wang Erli, but Wang Dali disdains to be a blacksmith in this town, what Wang Dali does, Li Hongwei doesn't know.

Wang Erli has three apprentices, and they usually serve as his deputies, learning while watching. However, after Yang Qing entered the blacksmith's shop, his identity was different from that of the three apprentices, and the three of them all paid tuition fees to Wang Erli as apprentices, and Wang Erli taught them personally. Yang Qing went to help with chores and was a primary school apprentice, and whether he could learn the ability or not was completely up to him.

The main income of the eight wrought iron shop is to build weapons, the weapons created are extremely sharp, the style is exquisite, the weapons are covered with patterns, or like mountains, or like the abyss, which is the name of his blacksmith --- eight forging

Other blacksmithing shops can also forge weapons, but their skills are far inferior to Wang Erli, and they can only make some farm tools, or chains, iron knives and other items that are not too demanding.

Li Hongwei didn't know much about the skills of iron-making, and the chat with Yang Qing didn't involve much about the skills of iron-making, and what was mentioned was just some well-known common sense.

In fact, the iron-striking technique can be divided into sixteen forgings, and one forging is more difficult than one forging. Forging is also folding forging, sixteen forging, folding forging tens of thousands of layers. Folk blacksmiths can generally do ten forgings is already the limit, and then not only the accessories are difficult to find mortals, but the main materials are even more precious. And the forging skills can be said to be too strict, the material in the forging cognition and judgment, the control of the force, even if one more hammer or one less hammer, a hammer or a light hammer will make the material scrapped, the material is damaged, even if it is completely melted, the quality of the material is no longer the original.

When it comes to striking iron, we have to talk about training equipment. Striking iron is only the edge of the refining tool, and striking iron is only the entry skill of refining the weapon. If the iron-striking skill does not reach the sixteenth forging, you will want to cross the threshold of refining. It's just that Li Hongwei doesn't know this, and Yang Qing at this moment won't know.
