Chapter 3: Crafting the Sword

After eating, the three of them came to the building room, and the old blacksmith Yang Fu quickly made a metal strip more than one meter long and burned it red, put it on the metal ingot, and slammed it with a sledgehammer, at this time sparks flew everywhere and debris flew around. Lei Ming and the two saw this scene next to them and were silent, the level of technology here is indeed low. Lei Ming shouted loudly: "Old man, you stop." ”

Yang Fu was sweating profusely, and when he heard it, he stopped the hammer and asked, "What's the matter, Thunder, your sword is almost ready." ”

"Grandpa, do you have any better materials here?"

"No, what's the matter? The iron used here is the iron I used to make hoes for the villagers, and it's much better than the old one. ”

"Well, is there a higher temperature to burn it, and the waste on the sword can burn a lot. ”

"Hmmm, really?" said the old blacksmith, who was skeptical, and then burned the metal on the coals, and then squatted on the side and fanned the wind.

After Lei Ming and the two saw it, they slapped their hands on their foreheads and were speechless for a while.

Lei Ming suggested: "Old man, you can change the way of fanning, so that the fire is bigger." If you put coal on it, the fire will be better. ”

Yang Tian then made a gesture by the fireside and described the general appearance of the bellows. Yang Fu was surprised for a while, and then thought about it and felt that it seemed to make sense, so he stopped and continued to fight.

Yang Fu was very efficient, he did what he said, and that afternoon he found wood and cowhide to pound out the bellows, but just when he wanted to strike the hammer and take the sword out while it was hot, the thunder in the stomachs of the two children next to him suppressed the heat.

After dinner, it was already dark, and the scattered clouds could not hide the stars in the sky. Yang Fu couldn't help the heat in his heart, and went to the building room to pull the bellows to test the effect. Lei Ming and the others also ran over to join in the fun, to see if there was anything else that could be improved.

Yang Fu stirred the bellows, the charcoal fire in the furnace became more and more vigorous, and the metal strips placed on the charcoal fire also changed from dark red to bright red, and after a while, it was dazzlingly red, and he immediately stopped the bellows. Lei Ming hurriedly said, "Don't stop, old man! ”

Yang Fu touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "If you burn the iron bar again, it will melt." That's a lot of firepower. ”

"No, old man, it's better if it's burned. Lei Ming continued.

"Little Thunder, how do you know this?" Yang Fu was surprised, if it weren't for the fact that the bellows were really easy to use, he would have laughed and passed.

"Hehe, I used to listen to my family when I was at home. Lei Ming touched the back of his head.

"Well, let's put the bellows in the alchemy furnace and refine them all again. Yang Fu thought about it and said this decision ruthlessly, after all, the previous refining cost him a lot of effort, and these metals were different from the previous iron materials.

Yang Tian also joined in the fun, saying: "I heard that adding some lime from building houses outside has a good effect on burning." ”

Yang Fu was speechless, thinking about it in combination with the martial arts of these two little guys, he also felt that everything was reasonable, although I don't know what level the martial arts of these two children have reached and how they compare with others, but it is not easy to teach such a good martial arts to the family of a child.

So I had to call it a day and spend another night with enthusiasm.

Early the next morning, Yang Fu had breakfast early, got a big bellows and put it in the alchemy furnace, and asked the surrounding villagers for a load of lime, poured all the farm tools in the yard and the ore stored before into the furnace, and added lime to burn. It seems that Yang Fu is also a fanatic, and with a new method, he actually tried it so boldly, and he was not afraid of accidentally destroying it. Lei Ming and Yang Tian also came over to help early in the morning, although they were small, Yang Fu didn't want to agree, but they couldn't help but have high martial arts and great strength, and Yang Fu couldn't be busy alone, so he asked the two to add charcoal to the alchemy furnace. Yang Fu pulled the bellows and burned for a while, the ore and metal strips melted away, and the hot liquid flowed along the diversion groove at the bottom of the furnace into the five narrow molds more than one meter long. By noon, all the ore had been refined, and if it had been before, it would have been a day.

Yang Fu gasped, wiped his sweat and said with satisfaction: "It's much faster than before, I don't know how the quality of the road is." ”

Yang Tian said hee-hee: "Grandpa, this is definitely better than the previous one, and you don't look at who said it." But don't try yet, I'm hungry. "A belly rumbling when I touch it.

"Good, good. We're going to cook and eat now. Yang Fu smiled heartily.

Lei Ming touched the forehead that was not sweating, and sighed to himself, this meridian was opened, and he didn't seem to be so afraid of heat, only a little sweat, and he followed behind.

After eating lunch, Yang Fu came to the building room again, burned the red metal bar, and after a clanging beating, he made a sword. After burning red in the furnace, he reached into the water to quench the fire, and after a puff of white smoke, he brought out a gray-black sword with a shallow hammer mark on the surface. Then there was a sharp sharpening on the whetstone, which opened the edge of the sword, leaving a white blade. Yang Fu handed the sword to Lei Ming and said, "Lei Ming, you have great strength, try it." "I watched expectantly, for the metal seemed tougher than the previous ones by the feeling of the beating.

Lei Ming floated lightly in his hand, weighed it, and seemed to have three catties. Holding a short sword more than half a meter long and two fingers wide in his right hand, he danced at will, and the whirring sound made people feel good, Lei Ming took a rag and walked out of the sword while wiping the sword.

In the afternoon sun, the body of the sword is black, and there is nothing brilliant about it, but the gray and white of the blade makes people know that it can also cut pork. Lei Ming glanced at the courtyard and saw that there was only a pile of firewood piled up in the corner of the courtyard wall. So he walked over, picked out a piece of wood half a meter long arm thick and put it on the edge of the pyre, and waved the black sword to split it on the wood, only to hear a "doo" sound, the sword slashed into the waist of the wood, and then pressed a little harder, and the wood was immediately divided into two halves.

Yang Fu and Yang Tian who came out later happened to see this scene, Yang Fu smiled happily, and Yang Tian exclaimed boastfully: "Wow, thunder, your firewood knife is so powerful, even the wood has been split!"

Lei Ming ignored Yang Tian, swung the black sword again, and slashed the wood on the ground, and with a "snap", the sword was stuck on the wood. Stepping on the wood with his foot, he pried the black sword upward, and the sword broke away from the wood. Take the sword in front of me and look at it, it's okay, it doesn't collapse at all, it's not a brittle alloy, if you use some building skills, you should be able to forge a good sword, but now you can make do with it, Lei Ming meditated in his heart for a while, turned his head to the two people who were watching the excitement and said: "Grandpa, this sword is not bad, it will be bright and beautiful when sharpened." ”

Yang Fu touched his chin and said with a smile: "It's good if it can be used, let's go in and forge it again." ”

There was another hot clanging in the sky, and when the sun went down, Yang Fu also forged a sixty-centimeter-long black knife. It was too late to see Yang Tian try the test, and Yang Fu was busy with dinner again. Lei Ming and the two also happily ran over with the sword to help - it was the first time the two had come into contact with the sword, and it had only been seen on TV and movies before.

After eating a dinner, Yang Fu was so tired that he lay down on the bed early and went to bed happily. Lei Ming and Yang Tian were still interested, and they danced with swords under the starry night, familiarizing themselves with the weapons of different time and spaceβ€”this is a necessary weapon for disputes.

In the following half a month, Lei Ming and Yang Tian ran into the woods and jumped up and down to destroy the trees - this practice still has to be actually chopped, and if you can't cut people, you can only let the trees suffer. It is common to hear the whining and chopping sound of the trees, and the crackling and clattering of branches falling to the ground.

Because of the lack of detection instruments, there is no way to detect what the composition of this sword is, but the hardness and toughness of this sword are good, and the trees that have been chopped for so long are only dull, and the grinding is good. During this period, the two of them couldn't help but grind off the black on the sword, turning it into a short sword with white light.

One morning, Lei Ming and the others had just finished breakfast and ran into the trees to practice again, but as soon as they got close to the trees, they heard the sound of pigs humming. Yang Tian was surprised: "Whose pig is this?" Lei Ming sighed lightly and said, "It's so remote here, it's not a pig from the village, I'm afraid it's a wild boar." Let's see if we can slaughter it, and it tastes great. ”

Although Lao Yang Fu's family is not short of money, there are not too many things that can be eaten in this village, and there are only a few things to eat, and both of them are a little tired. The two crept into the trees, only to see a two-meter-long brown and black wild boar grinding on an old pine tree on their sides, humming and humming, as if they were enjoying themselves.

I don't know if the two of them have good skills after the meridians of Lei Ming are connected, or if they are small and light, the wild boar doesn't care, and the two of them just touched a place ten meters away from the wild boar. Lei Ming gestured to Yang Tian, Yang Tian nodded in response, and walked around to the front of the wild boar. When it was estimated that it was about the same, Lei Ming threw the short sword in his hand through the gap in the bushes, only to see a flash of white light, and the wild boar screamed and ran out, splashing a string of bright red blood beads on the spot.

Hearing only a shuddering sound, the wild boar rushed towards Yang Tian's ambush in a panic, which was a place where the grass was relatively sparse. Relying on his internal strength, Yang Tian jumped out from behind the big pine tree where he was hiding, and slashed at the boar's head with a short knife in his right hand. And the wild boar was injured and crazy, but he didn't dodge or dodge, "Qi ~ Qi ~ " and rushed straight towards Yang Tian, who was in the shape of a child.

The blade touched the boar's head, and with a soft pop, the boar's scalp was cut, and then there was a loud click, and the knife slashed into the boar's skull, and there was a crisp sound, and the knife broke in the middle. Yang Tian was overjoyed at first, the wild boar was split, and he was about to succeed, and then he was shocked, his body was too small, and he only felt a momentum along his right arm through his right shoulder, and when he was about to recoil, the short knife in his hand was broken and was shaken away, and the small body had rolled back obliquely, rubbing the waist of the wild boar and falling on the small branch. The wild boar's skull was split, and the soul had begun to fly, only to see it hit its head on the hugging pine tree behind Yang Tian's hiding place just now, covered with a piece of blood, and then fell to the ground and kicked its legs randomly, humming and screaming, raising a leaf and dust, when Yang Tian rubbed his right arm and got up, it died and did not move.

At this time, Lei Ming also rushed over, and saw Yang Tian rubbing his right arm with a disgraced face, and hurriedly asked: "How is it? It didn't hurt, right?" Yang Tianyun walked twice on his right shoulder arm, shook it and said: "Fortunately, the meridians are all opened, otherwise the arm that was hit and flew just now would have to be broken, and the knife would have been broken." Yang Tian looked depressed. Lei Ming patted Yang Tian on the shoulder, walked over to look at the wild boar, only to see that the ground was in a mess, the wild boar was lying on its side under the pine tree, its head was still facing the tree, a short sword was not on its right chest, blood oozed from the wound from time to time, and there was no red knife on the top of the head - this was a fatal wound.

Yang Tian came over and stood with Lei Ming, and said excitedly: "There is wild boar meat to eat, it must taste good." ”

Lei Ming touched his chin and said, "Go back and find the old man to forge another knife with your knife." We also tried to forge it ourselves and improve the design when we found time, but I didn't expect the knife to break at once. It's just that the two of us are so small that we can only find two sticks to carry the wild boar back. ”

After speaking, Lei Ming pulled out the short sword inserted in the pig's body, dodged the blood water that spurted out, split two branches with an arm thickness of three meters, tied the wild boar with rattan, picked up the cut knife, and carried the wild boar back with Yang Tian. It's just that the two of them are only one meter three tall, and the wild boar rubs the ground from time to time, which makes the two depressed.
