Xie Fu was in a hurry and didn't want to waste time in this small town, but he couldn't wait to die without saving his life, so he chose a compromise. He went to the market early in the morning to find a carriage and take care of the woman while driving.
illness.
There were quite a few donkey carts in the market, but I didn't see a carriage.
The biggest difference between a horse-drawn carriage and a donkey-cart is that one is mostly used to seat people and the other is used to pull goods. One is taller and the other is more ordinary.
It was really not easy to find a carriage with people in such a small town, so Xie Fu had to settle for the next best thing.
A group of ravers gathered around Fu Xie, actively soliciting business, but Fu Xie noticed a young man sitting in the corner. He did not approach him to solicit business like the others, but looked towards him from time to time, as if he was unfamiliar and timid.
, it seems that I have just started to enter this field.
Next to him was his donkey cart. The cart looked very clean, but the donkey was a little thin and looked malnourished.
Xie Fu has also been in the market since he was a child, and he knows that people can be hungry first, and those who make money must take good care of themselves, otherwise they will have nothing to eat.
Donkeys are like this, let alone people.
So he took the initiative to walk towards the young man. When the young man saw Xie Fu walking towards him, his eyes were shining with a look of surprise.
When he saw Mr. Xie actually standing in front of him, he stood up flattered: "Brother, do you want to use the car?"
"Help me drag someone to Sword City."
The young man looked disappointed when he heard this: "Brother, my donkey cart can only pull goods, not people."
Of course Xie Fu knew that this kind of donkey cart without a shed was used to pull goods, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, I see your cart is very clean, it doesn't matter if it is used to pull people."
"Brother, as long as you don't dislike it."
Xie Fu asked: "Have you eaten?"
The young man didn't expect that Fu Xie would suddenly ask such a question, and he seemed a little embarrassed, but he still responded: "It's still early, not yet."
Xie Fu took out a tael of silver and said, "Let the man and the donkey go and eat a little first. Then wait for me at the door of the Yuexi Inn."
When the young man saw a tael of silver, his eyes were very bright, he nodded repeatedly, and he was so excited that he could not speak.
Xie Fu smiled, he had also been in poverty, and he knew how happy it was to have food to eat when a person was in poverty.
Returning to the inn, I opened the door and entered the room. I saw Xiao Yu'er sitting in front of the dressing table dressing up. I smiled in my heart. She was already sick and still had the time to put on makeup. How much does this woman love beauty? But she can only get up.
It shows that her body has recovered.
Xiao Yu'er heard the sound and turned to look at the door, her eyes wide open with a look of disbelief.
Xie Fu saw her newly powdered face, which was washed away by tears. She looked ugly and unsightly. He walked closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yuer pursed her lips and shook her head. Xie Fu asked again: "Did you remember something sad?"
Fu Xie didn't ask about her, but a woman who was resold one after another and suffered from serious illness must be a poor person. Such a woman would not be able to survive in a brothel, let alone a brothel lady.
Xiao Yuer burst into tears and smiled: "I thought you left me and left."
Xie Fu smiled hoarsely: "I just spent sixty taels yesterday, I would be stupid if I left you."
Xiao Yuer smiled and said: "Yes, you will not be so stupid and throw away sixty taels in vain."
Xie Fu just wanted to explain something, and did not mean to objectify her: "I'm sorry."
Xiao Yu'er wondered why he apologized, and Xie Fu smiled and said, "I shouldn't use sixty taels to describe you."
"You are such a strange person that you would apologize for such a trivial matter."
"In my world, if you do something wrong or say something wrong, you have to apologize. Apology is also one of the ways people interact with each other."
"Yes, you shouldn't use sixty taels to describe me. I should be worth a hundred taels. After I get better, I can sell it for you for a hundred taels."
As Xiao Yuer spoke, she gave Xie Fu a wink. She had to say that it was quite seductive. She said proudly, "How about it? It's quite seductive to men, right?"
Xie Fu knew that this was a method she had learned to adapt to survival, and smiled: "After eating and taking medicine, we are ready to set off. I have prepared a donkey cart for you."
Xiao Yuer stood up and asked doubtfully: "Where are you going? Back to your home?"
"Go to Sword City."
"What are you doing in Sword City?"
"I'm going to Jiancheng to do something. Do you know the way to Jiancheng?"
Xiao Yu'er responded with a yes.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Just right, then you can lead the way for me."
Xiao Yu'er didn't say anything, so Xie Fu asked: "What?"
Xiao Yuer smiled awkwardly: "I don't really want to go back, but I can show you a way. You can sell me on the way."
Everyone has a past that everyone doesn't want to recall. Xie Fu didn't ask further: "You should go back to bed and have a rest first."
Xiao Yu'er just took two steps towards the bed, and her body collapsed to the knees. Xie Fu simply carried her to the bed.
Xiao Yu'er looked at him in surprise, Xie Fu said with a smile: "Why, I already carried you on my back yesterday."
Xiao Yuer smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be ugly, but you are actually very gentle."
"God is unfair, but only humanity is humane. I hope everyone who has suffered hardships can be treated with kindness."
Xiao Yu'er murmured, felt it with her big hands, and suddenly came back to her senses and asked: "Have you read the book?"
Mr. Xie went to boil the medicine.
After breakfast and taking medicine, Xie Fu also packed his luggage and was about to leave, but Xiao Yuer insisted on putting on makeup.
Xie Fu was amused. He looked so sick, so why did he put on makeup? After Xiao Yuer put on makeup, it had to be said that the paleness on her face was covered by powder. After applying her lips and eyebrows, she looked a little better.
complexion.
Xiao Yuer laughed at herself: "You can only get a good price by decorating it."
Xie Fu carried her downstairs, and the young man was already waiting at the door of the inn. The cart was covered with an extra layer of straw and a layer of cloth.
Xie Fu praised: "You are quite attentive."
The young man was very embarrassed to be praised by Xie Fu: "This donkey cart was originally used to transport goods and people, so I put some straw on it to make it more comfortable to sit on."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xie Fu gently placed Xiao Yu'er on the trolley, and the young man also helped to smooth the bra. Suddenly he looked into the woman's eyes, and his face turned red.
The woman was not surprised at all, she smiled brightly, and the shy young man lowered his head and did not dare to look at her again.
Xie Fu asked: "What is your name?"
"Brother, just call me Abao."
"Abao, she is ill and is not going through bumps. Please be more steady on the road."
"good."
Under Xiao Yu'er's guidance, the three of them embarked on the road to Jiancheng. Two men sat at the front of the car, and Xiao Yu'er lay flat on the straw covered with cloth. Or thanks to Fu's instructions in advance, Abao walked very slowly along the way.
It's stable, and when it encounters potholes and uneven places, it's very careful to avoid them.
The two of them chatted without saying a word, and then Xie Fu realized that A Bao was only seventeen years old, far from reaching the age of adulthood. His father had just died, and he still had two younger brothers and a younger sister at home.
My mother has been dead for many years, so I have no choice but to work as a slave to make money.
Xie Fu asked: "Abao, if you travel far away like this, what will happen to your brothers and sisters at home?"
Abao smiled and said: "They are not young and can take care of themselves. Before I came to the inn, I also bought them food and asked the neighbors to take care of them."
"That's good. When we were at the market just now, others were soliciting business. Why were you unmoved? You just started this business. Are you sorry?"
"No, they have to go first, and then it's my turn."
Although he didn't say much, Xie Fu knew that he must have been bullied by other ravers.
Because of her weak body, Xiao Yu'er fell asleep leisurely. Abao suddenly asked softly: "Brother, who are you, the beautiful lady in the back?"
Seeing him asking questions, Fu Xie showed shyness on his face. He knew in his heart that he was also a young man. He understood young people's thoughts and was always full of curiosity and yearning for women, especially beautiful women, so he smiled and said: "
Who do you think she is to me?"
"I guess she is your mother-in-law, brother."
Xie Fu wanted to deny it, but he didn't want to say that she bought the woman, so he smiled perfunctorily: "I guess that's it."
Abao looked like he was breaking the casserole and asked: "Does that count or not?"
"I already have a wife and children at home, so I will be her companion on the road."
Abao seemed to understand, that kind of temporary couple without status.
After a day's journey, seeing that it was getting dark, I found an inn. Xie Fu carried Xiao Yu'er into the inn and settled down before walking out of the inn.
Abao rearranged the bumpy and scattered straw, spread the cloth, ate dry food and prepared to spend the night on the cart. People like him simply couldn't afford to stay in an inn, and even if they could afford it, they wouldn't be willing to spend the money.
Seeing Fu Xie coming, he quickly got off the cart and said, "Brother, do you have any other instructions?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Abao, it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, you shouldn't be planning to spend the night outside."
"yes."
"Then your plan is ruined."
Abao was confused: "Are we going to travel all night?"
"No, I made a room for you."
When Abao heard this, he was stunned on the spot. Thanks to Fu for urging him, "Why are you still standing there? Come with me to the inn."
Unexpectedly, Abao shook his head and said: "I have been a low-class person since I was born. I am destined to endure a lot of hardships. I am used to it. This is not something I should enjoy."
Now it was Xie Fu's turn to be stunned. These simple words shocked Xie Fu. Looking at the thin clothes he was sewing, and looking at the bone-chilling night, perhaps he had been used to the cold all his life.
.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Abao, you are a hard-working and kind-hearted person, but I feel that every hard-working and kind-hearted person can be rewarded." After saying this, he forcibly pulled him into the inn.
When A Bao checked into the clean and tidy room and sat uneasily on the warm bed, the door was pushed open and the waiter walked in with wine and food. Obviously, the wine and food were ordered by Mr. Xie.
of……
Early the next morning, Xie Fu walked out of the inn with Xiao Yu'er in his arms. It snowed last night, so Abao got up early and cleaned the snow on the cart.
When Fu Xie put Xiao Yu'er on the trolley, his skirt accidentally lifted up, revealing a section of his snow-white calf. Bao was so stunned that his eyes widened.
Xiao Yuer scolded: "What are you looking at!" She then reached out and lowered her skirt to cover her calves.
Originally, she didn't have any good or bad feelings towards this little lover, but the man's words last night made her full of hostility towards this little lover.
The man actually asked her what her impression was of the little Rafe and whether she was willing to follow him.
Xiao Yu'er just replied coldly: She is not that cheap, and Xiao Laf can't afford it.
In this way, we traveled during the day and stayed at night. We walked for five full days and finally arrived at Jiancheng at noon.
The whole city is tinkling, like a city that can play music. Every household is forging iron, and people are coming and going on the streets. One industry drives all other industries.
Abao had obviously never been to such a prosperous and lively place. He looked around here and there, and everything he saw felt strange.
Xie Fu felt that calling this city Sword City was too conservative. It should be called Iron City. Along the way, except for restaurants and shops, he didn't see a single household that didn't make iron.
In addition to private blacksmith shops, there are also large-scale industrial blacksmith shops. More than a dozen men are shirtless, wielding big hammers and taking turns to hit a piece of armor. It is with such careful polishing that the armor is forged by the Su family in Jiancheng.
Only then can we be indestructible and invulnerable.
As for a complete armor, I don't know how many armor pieces are needed to inlay it.
It is obvious that the Su family in Jiancheng masters the most core and exquisite technology, and some basic process semi-finished products are handed over to these private iron shops and large iron shops, forming a complete industrial chain, and people in the entire city are serving the Su family.
The prosperity of one industry drives people's livelihood and all industries.
Before coming here, he was worried that the Su family in Jiancheng would not be able to provide him with so many armors and weapons. Now that he saw such a large-scale industry, he was very excited. Even if he made a temporary reservation and the blacksmiths worked together throughout the process, it would be ready in three or two months.
.
Seeing that Xie Fu's eyes were always on the blacksmith, Xiao Yu'er asked, "What are you doing in Sword City?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Buy a good weapon."
Xiao Yuer is a woman who has seen the world, but she has never guessed the identity of Xie Fu. From the outside, this person looks like a rough guy in ordinary clothes, but he seems to be very rich and can spend a little money.
Not stingy with heartache.
In her impression, only people who have money quickly can spend it so happily.
She had always suspected that Xie Fu was a robber who specialized in robbing wealthy businessmen or wealthy households, or a killer. Anyway, he was doing illegal things.
Hearing him say that he wanted to buy a good weapon only deepened his judgment. What would ordinary people want a good weapon for?
Seeing Xiao Yuer's suspicion, Fu Xie smiled and said, "Isn't it that you came to Jiancheng to buy weapons?"
Xiao Yuer responded: "Yes, but they came all the way to Jiancheng not to buy a good weapon, but to buy a large number of weapons."
Xie Fu laughed and said, "Do you think I'm here to buy a lot of weapons?"
"I don't know, but if you want to buy a good weapon, you can't buy it on the street."
Xie Fu said: "Where can I buy good weapons?"
"Auction House!"
"Auction house?"
"Things are rare and valuable. Good things are bought by those with the highest price. Only the auction house operated by the Su family can buy the best weapons."
"Xiao Yu'er, you seem to know all this very well."
"Jiancheng is my hometown. I have lived here since I was a child."
Xiao Yuer pondered for a moment and then added: "My father is the best blacksmith."
Perhaps thinking that Fu Xie didn’t understand what best means, Xiao Yu’er asked: “Have you ever heard of Mingguang Armor?”
Xie Fu's eyes lit up: "Who hasn't heard of it?"
"The Mingguang Armor has one of the most difficult processes, which is to use flat alloy wires to connect the armor pieces together. There are very few people in the entire Sword City who can create flat alloy wires, and my father is one of them."
