Xie Fu felt funny in his heart, but you also wanted to test me, so he smiled and said: "I will kill good people too."
But Xiao Yuer said: "Don't worry, you are killing a great evil person who took away people's inheritance and caused their families to be destroyed."
"I'd like to hear your story, if you'd like."
As Xie Fu said this, he walked to the chair and waved his sleeves to brush off the dust on the chair. Abao rushed forward and said, "Sir, I'll do it." He wiped the chair surface and armrests clean with his own arms so that Xie Fu could
Sat down.
Xiao Yuer told her story. Her surname was Lin and her name was Yucheng. Her family was originally a famous divine forging family in Jian City. There was a family craft that was passed down from generation to generation.
Xie Fu asked: "What kind of family craftsmanship?"
"The Art of Making Flat Metal Wire."
Xie Fu knew better that the armor was not directly sewn on the leather clothes, but was connected to the joints of the human body using a special process. In order to be soft and comfortable while having a force-relieving effect, the scale armor would be made of a particularly fine gold thread.
When connected in series, it is like when the water surface receives a strong impact, it will swing away like water waves, dispersing the power so that people will not be harmed.
He said: "This is not a family craft."
"The flat alloy wire made by my family is the best in the world. It is only used on the Mingguang Armor. The Su family has also used other processes to replace it, but the effect is not good, the finished product is low, and the size of the person wearing the armor is very different.
The restrictions are also high.”
When Xiao Yu'er said this, Xie Fu understood. As the saying goes, a slight difference can make a huge difference: "You continue."
"The Su family has sent people to my house more than once, promising my father a large sum of money to teach this family craft. My father did not dare to offend the Su family, and refused on the grounds that our ancestors had taught us that the family craft would never be passed on to others."
When Xie Fu heard this, he secretly wondered, could it be that Xiao Yu'er's enemy is the Su family in Jiancheng? They said that this is Sister Qianqian's natal family. Even now, he still relies on the Su family to make weapons and armor for him, so that he can
It is absolutely impossible for the Su family to be killed.
However, everything has a culprit, and it would be okay to find out the culprits and give justice to Xiao Yu'er's family.
In the past, Xie Fu would have been in a dilemma between justice and fairness on the one hand, and close interests on the other.
But now that he has passed the age of black and white, good and evil, it is difficult for even him to distinguish between black and white, good and evil.
As the saying goes, relatives should hide from each other, especially parents who are blood relatives. Even if they have made mistakes, they cannot bear to be rigorously investigated and prosecuted. This is the compassion that is in line with human nature.
Killing relatives for the sake of justice goes against human nature and ethics.
In the past, Mr. Xie was too harsh on himself.
Xiao Yu'er paused deliberately, just to see Fu Xie's reaction. Faced with such a powerful family of the Su family in Jiancheng, would you, a killer, have the courage to take action?
Little did he know that what Xie Fu was thinking about was whether he could take action. Even the emperor dared to do it head-on, so what else could he dare not do?
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Could it be that your enemy is the Su family in Jiancheng?"
"No, our Lin family has been building magical weapons for the Su family for generations. My father was unwilling, and Mr. Su was not harsh."
Xie Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was most afraid of those close to him doing evil, even if he killed him or not.
"My father had an apprentice who taught me the true heritage of blacksmithing. His real name was Ma Wuzhong. He was later adopted by my father as his adopted son and his surname was changed to Lin. My father treated him as his own son and even betrothed me to him.
After getting married on the same day, who would have thought that Ma Wu Zhongen would take revenge and collude with outsiders to destroy my family and even kill me in front of my father's corpse..."
Xiao Yu'er took a deep breath, paused for a moment and then said: "Take advantage of me!"
"At that time, I was so grief-stricken that I wanted to die, but when I thought about the fact that I was the only one left in the family and the blood feud had not been avenged, how could I die, so I endured the humiliation and pretended to commit myself to Ma Wuzhong."
Xie Fu asked: "Why would Ma Wuzhong do this and what is his purpose?"
"Ma Wuzhong was able to teach my father all the true blacksmithing skills, but this family skill was not passed on to him. Although Ma Wuzhong repeatedly begged, my father made it clear that the family skill was only passed on to my eldest brother."
Xie Fu said: "I understand. A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade."
"Later, Ma Wuzhong learned about the hiding place of my father's "Golden Forging Secrets" and colluded with outsiders to kill my family and take away the "Golden Forging Secrets"."
"So the person you want me to kill is Ma Wuzhong."
"More than that, I want you to help me kill the entire Ma family."
Xie Fu was not a person who implicated innocent people. If he spoke frankly, it would not be consistent with his status as a killer, so he said: "This is another price, you can't afford it."
"In order to avenge the bloody sea, I pretended to commit myself to Ma Wuzhong to look for opportunities. Later I found out that I was too naive. Ma Wuzhong kept me alive and kept me by his side, not because he liked me and was reluctant to kill me, but because he only got the "Golden Forging Secret Book"
half, trying to learn the other half from me, and then..."
"Later, I found out that he was the illegitimate son of Ma Chaohai of the Ma family. He had been plotting evil intentions from the day he joined the Lin family and became my father's disciple. At that moment, I collapsed and asked him angrily. Ma Wuzhong simply refused to do anything and would not give in.
A group of people raped me, and when I woke up, I was already sold by them."
Xie Fu asked: "Why didn't Ma Wuzhong just kill you?"
Xiao Yuer shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he can find the other half of the forging secret book while I'm alive."
The voice became faint: "In the past seven or eight years, I have been sold again and again, and I have become like a walking zombie. I have long forgotten the blood feud."
Then he glanced at Xie Fu: "Perhaps you will look down on me. How can we forget the blood feud so easily."
Xie Fu said calmly: "I didn't."
Xiao Yu'er looked into Xie Fu's eyes: "Until I met you, my soul came back to life. Remembering this blood feud, if you can't help me avenge you, I will hate you even if I am a ghost."
Xie Fu asked: "What does the Ma family do?"
"The Ma family is also a forging family in Sword City. Like our Lin family, they forge weapons for the Su family, but the Ma family is better at forging knives and armor pieces. The breast protectors on the front and back of the Mingguang Armor were forged by the Ma family."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mingguang armor does not exist now, it has existed since the Three Kingdoms period. The same type of armor can be called Mingguang armor, but there are advantages and disadvantages.
Only the Mingguang armor produced by the Su family in Jiancheng is worthy of the "Mingguang armor has a brilliant light".
Most Mingguang armor can only be equipped on heavy infantry to resist cavalry charges.
But only the Mingguang Armor of the Su family in Jiancheng can be equipped on the cavalry, because only the Mingguang armor of the Su family in Jiancheng is light and strong. When equipped on the cavalry, it can not only have the impact and protection of the heavy cavalry, but also
Has the mobility of a light cavalry.
It's really unbelievable, but the Mingguang Armor produced by the Su family in Sword City is too little.
Xie Fu asked: "Since your Lin family is related to the Su family, and your family was wiped out, didn't the Su family help your Lin family to stand up for it?"
Xiao Yuer responded: "I don't know. At that time, I only thought about revenge. Later, I didn't know anymore. I only know that the Ma family is still alive and well."
Xie Fu secretly thought to himself that if the Lin family and the Ma family were the right-hand men of the Su family, after breaking off one arm, there was absolutely no reason to cut off the other arm as well. In the face of interests, the word justice is too light.
If he is the Su family, it's a foregone conclusion. Let's think about how to get another arm.
Maybe someone was backing the Ma family, so the Ma family dared to do such a thing under the eyes of the Su family, or maybe it was the Su family who was backing the Ma family.
The Su family is the mastermind behind this. The Lin family's complacency cannot satisfy the Su family at all, so they simply let the Ma family replace the Lin family.
Xiao Yu'er was no longer the innocent girl she once was. Seeing Fu Xie being silent, she asked tentatively: "Could it be the Su family? After all, the Su family came to visit me again and again, asking my father to teach me this family craft."
"How do I know this? I'll remember Ma Wuzhong's head for you first."
Xiao Yu'er said solemnly: "And the Ma family!"
This Xie Fu did not expressly agree. He agreed to Xiao Yuer's killing of Ma Wuzhong out of a bodhisattva's heart. The first priority was to obtain weapons and armor first, and then worry about other things.
"Let's clean this house first, and we'll spend the night here tonight."
Abao took the initiative and said: "Brother Qiu, let me clear the weeds inside and outside first."
Xiao Yuer said to Xie Fu: "Come with me."
Mr. Xie was led to a room in the inner house. The room was deserted and full of dust, but from the elegant layout, it could still be seen that it was a boudoir where a young lady lived.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuer said: "This is the room I used to live in."
…
At dusk, in front of a dilapidated house, an old woman with white hair was sewing an ordinary cloth armor.
To sew cloth armor, you need to use leather ropes to assemble the nail pieces tightly and leave no gaps. The old woman seems to have very little strength. Every time she puts on a piece of nail art, she needs to exert a lot of effort to press and squeeze it several times, or it may last all year round.
Fingers full of wrinkles and cracks are bent from working hard.
Her eyesight didn't seem to be very good either. When she was being sutured, her face almost touched her nails. Even though she opened her eyes hard, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes still squeezed her eyes into small slits.
His skinny, sallow skin was already covered with wrinkles, and his face was covered with criss-cross scars that were deeper than the wrinkles. The most conspicuous one was a horizontal scar on his forehead, with both ends of the scar deep into his hairline.
No one knows when this old woman came here. The scars on her face have been pointed at behind her back all these years. I heard that only women who commit adultery will be punished like this.
The old woman has heard these rumors, but she never defends herself. She just does some work every day, and the only thing she cares about is the child she raises.
"Mother-in-law."
A child's cry sounded crisply in the alley. This high-pitched voice full of vitality seemed to ring the bell of the old woman. She slowly raised her head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and a familiar figure clearly emerged.
eye.
This is the advantage of being presbyopic. Although your near vision is blurry, your distant vision is very clear.
As the running child approached quickly, the child's appearance became blurred, but the old woman still kept her smile unchanged.
"Mother-in-law."
With a friendly cry, a small energetic body crashed into her arms, almost knocking the elderly woman to the ground.
The old woman took a staggering step, bent her waist and pushed the little boy into her arms. Before she could caress her lovingly, the little boy broke away happily and excitedly.
"Mother-in-law, look what I brought?"
"What?"
The little boy was holding something in his left and right hands to show off. Although the old woman had presbyopia, she was not blind. The blurry objects were clearly a pair of cotton shoes and a coat.
"Shoes and coat."
"Guessed it!"
The little boy hurriedly asked the old woman to sit down, and then put his coat on the old woman's rickety back: "Mother-in-law, are you warm?"
The old woman did not answer the question, but asked: "Where did you get these things?"
The little boy was very proud: "I bought it."
"Then where did you get the money?"
These cotton-padded shoes and coat cost almost one tael of silver. A pound of rice only costs ten cents. She only gets one hundred cents for sewing a piece of cloth armor for someone. She can only sew one piece of clothing day and night every month.
Three or four pieces, how can a child get so much money?
"A big fool gave it to me."
"Big fool?"
"I splashed water on him, but not only was he not angry, he even gave me a couple of silver coins."
As the little boy spoke, he hurriedly put the old woman into warm cotton shoes.
How could the old woman believe such a lame lie: "Xiaowen, tell your mother-in-law, did you steal someone else's money?"
"I didn't steal it, that idiot really gave it to me."
The old woman took the little boy's hand and said, "Xiao Wen, my mother-in-law told you not to treat small evils as harmless and uncorrected. If small evils are not controlled, big disasters will ensue."
The little boy threw away the old woman's hand angrily: "I didn't steal it!"
The old woman pulled the little boy into the house, then put down a pottery altar. With a crash, dense copper coins poured out from the mouth of the altar, and some rolled to the corner of the wall.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Xiao Wen, help my mother-in-law pick it up."
As the old woman spoke, she counted them one by one. Such a pile of copper coins only amounted to less than 600 coins, and she murmured: "It's not enough."
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"You stole someone's money, so naturally you have to give it back to them."
The little boy was furious: "Grandma, I really didn't steal it!"
"Xiao Wen, sometimes your unintentional actions may bring disaster to others. If this tael of money is used by others to see a doctor, and that person has no money to see a doctor and dies of the disease, is this person you?
You were harmed. I didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.”
"I don't care, I didn't steal it anyway!"
"No matter what, collect the money first and return it to others. My mother-in-law doesn't have that much money. My mother-in-law will accompany you to return your coat and shoes now."
When the little boy heard that he was going to return the coat and shoes, he immediately became anxious and said, "Mother-in-law, they really weren't stolen."
"Learn to lie and deny at a young age. When you grow up, you can do it."
As the old woman said this, she took a stick and hit her. The little boy let out a cry of aggrievedness.
While crying, she shouted: "Mother-in-law, I really didn't steal. Why don't you believe me?"
"If you still refuse to tell the truth, I'll beat you!"
As the old woman spoke, the stick fell on the little boy...
Xie Fu and Xiao Yu'er spent the night in Xiao Yu'er's former bedroom. There was a north wind last night, and the room was not much warmer than outside.
It's dawn now, the north wind has stopped, and the temperature is much warmer.
Xie Fu looked at the tattered window lattice and smiled, feeling like he had spent the night in a ruined temple.
He had never been in any harsh environment, but Xiao Yu'er looked delicate and not as weak as expected.
Xiao Yu'er's voice suddenly came from behind: "The north wind blew all night last night, so I couldn't sleep, okay?"
Xie Fu looked back and saw that Xiao Yu'er woke up at some point and said with a smile: "I slept well, it's you who didn't sleep, okay?"
"I slept well too."
"Oh, isn't it cold?"
"When you have experienced some suffering, you will be able to understand how inconspicuous this is."
Xiao Yu'er said as she got off the bed, tipped her shoes with her toes, then put them on and walked towards the dressing table. Her back view was quite elegant and dignified like a lady's.
The man sat down and combed his hair and dressed up in front of the bronze mirror.
Yesterday we said we were cleaning the room together. Xiao Yu'er just polished the bronze mirror until it was shiny, and wiped the table and chairs on the dressing table clean. Xie Fu did all the other work.
Xiao Yu'er said slowly while combing her hair in the mirror: "You are quite good at working. You must have been poor when you were a child."
Xie Fu smiled harshly: "We can't do this again tonight."
"No, you didn't do anything with me last night."
Xie Fu said directly: "You are familiar with Jiancheng. You can go to the street to buy some beds, mats and bedding later. Buy whatever comes to mind." He put five taels of silver on the table.
Xiao Yu'er said lightly: "It's too late for you to regret it now. If we stay here, Ma Wuzhong will come to our door soon."
"This is not what you wanted."
"The Ma family is very powerful in Sword City. I can wait until your matter is finished before I can avenge you."
"Well, I'll do it if it's convenient."
After Xie Fu finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out. Abao spent the night in another room. Xie Fu asked: "Abao, you didn't freeze last night, did you?"
Abao was in high spirits: "Brother Qiu, no, the shelter here is much better than where I live, and I wear close-fitting clothes to keep me warm."
"When I finish my work in Sword City, I will give you a reward and you can build a new house when you return home. Your younger brothers and sisters will not have to suffer from the cold in the future."
"Brother Qiu, how is this possible? You are already good enough to me."
Xie Fu didn't bother him about such trivial matters: "You will follow Xiao Yu'er on the street later to see what you need to buy and help carry it."
"good."
Xie Fu took out another one tael of silver: "Eat what you need to eat, drink what you need to drink, and spend what you need to spend."
Yinzi is an all-powerful person who is much more useful than you spending time taking care of others. Under the guidance of Tantai Heqing, Xie Fu has already learned the true use of Yinzi.
Abao was still very honest and polite: "Brother Qiu, no need, I have the money."
Xie Fu patted Abao on the shoulder and walked out. He had just arrived in Jiancheng and wanted to walk around and get familiar with Jiancheng's environment.
Opening the door and walking out, he suddenly found a little boy huddled at the foot of the wall at the door. His clothes were ragged and patched. At first, he thought he was a beggar and picked up the little boy. Only then did he realize that it was the little boy who splashed water on him yesterday.
