Chapter 487 Obedient man

Lin'an is very hot in summer, but not as hot as in the south.

Zhizhi screamed desperately, but could not suppress the sound of hammering in the blacksmith shop.

Clang clang clang!

King Wei held the hammer and struck hard. From the appearance, the thing under the hammer looked like a horizontal knife.

Sister Huang was tidying up and cleaning while she said happily: "The customers said that the horizontal knife you made last time was better than before. No, the good reputation spread, and more and more people came.

"

Clang clang clang!

King Wei raised his hammer, a wisp of inner breath swaying.

The sledgehammer falls, and under the influence of inner breath, it hits that part accurately.

Every hammering is extremely precise, and long-term precise hammering makes the entire horizontal knife evenly textured.

In the entire Chenzhou, there is only one company that uses inner breath to make horizontal knives.

You want to say that others have also practiced it.

People who have practiced cultivation can find a job as a housekeeper or a caravanner, and their monthly income is much higher than that of a blacksmith, and it is much easier.

The weather was hot, and King Wei was still wearing only one shirt, which was soaked with sweat.

Sister Huang took out the trash, and when she came back, she leaned by the door and looked at him, "Why don't you take off your clothes?"

King Wei shook his head, "It's inconvenient."

Sister Huang said: "What's the inconvenience? I, Aye, were like this before, even in winter, I would keep my upper body bare."

There is a stove next to it, so the indoor temperature is very high. Even in winter, the temperature of the stove and the heated iron materials makes people not feel cold.

King Wei glanced at her.

"Take it off!"

Sister Huang said boldly: "I don't even feel that I am at a disadvantage, what are you afraid of?"

King Wei hesitated and took off his clothes.

His muscles looked very even, with no bulging lumps of flesh visible.

oops!

It seems like I took advantage!

Sister Huang glanced at it, then looked at it again...

Then he vowed to take one last look, and then continued to look.

King Wei began to swing the hammer, and the muscles in his body trembled together.

After the horizontal knife is made, the next step is to polish it.

King Wei put down the hammer and turned around but did not see Sister Huang.

"Big sister! Big sister!"

"Why!"

Sister Huang came in from behind with her sleeves rolled up and her hands wet.

"alright?"

"Um!"

Sister Huang said happily: "It's so fast!"

King Wei took a hoe he had made yesterday to trim it.

"Big sister!"

A woman came and when she saw King Wei there, she smiled and said, "It's Li Er!"

"Mrs. Qian." King Wei nodded, "Where are you with the hoe? Just wait!"

Madam Qian smiled and glanced at his naked upper body from time to time, "Don't be in a hurry."

King Wei worked very seriously.

Lady Qian asked: "Why is your hoe thinner than usual?"

"The porcelain is solid."

King Wei handed her the hoe and said, "Try it."

Mrs. Qian tried it, "Hey! Don't tell me, it's really heavy!"

King Wei smiled and said: "No. If someone else hits you one time, I will hit you ten times. This hoe is naturally thinner, but it is stronger and can last a long time. Who is better?"

Lady Qian glanced at his muscles and said, "Of course it's your fault."

The jokes between men and women in the market often have some color, and people who are used to it will return it casually.

There is nothing to worry about, it is just a kind of release from the pressure of life.

King Wei still introduced enthusiastically, "Not only the hoes, but also the kitchen knives at home need to be polished frequently? Is it because they are not tempered enough? Do you know how to make steel?"

Madam Qian nodded, "Didn't you say it was a magic weapon?"

King Wei smiled and said: "It's not a magic weapon, it's just a weapon that you're willing to put in the effort to temper! All the ones I have here are like this. So, you will only know if something is good or not after you use it."

"This is the truth. You will know it after you use it." Madam Qian teased again.

An old man passing by outside heard this and said with a smile: "Since Li Er came, the business has gotten better and better!"

King Wei cupped his hand and said, "Hello, Your Majesty."

"Okay!" The old man nodded, "He is a polite person."

"This shop is a century-old shop, look for it..." King Wei pointed to the signboard, "Huang's Blacksmith Shop."

Sister Huang came in, put down the broom, and said hello to the two of them with a smile.

"Sister, what a blessing!" Mrs. Qian raised her chin at King Wei's upper body with an ambiguous look of envy.

The old man smiled and said: "My eldest sister is strong, she deserves this."

The two left immediately.

There are some pedestrians outside from time to time.

A man in green clothes walked slowly by and glanced inside as if by accident.

King Wei stood there and glanced at him.

The man glanced at Sister Huang again, with a look of envy in his eyes.

"I'm going back first."

King Wei said.

"Ah! Wait a minute!" Sister Huang said, "I just washed your clothes. The sun is strong and they will be completely dry in a while."

“Let’s bake it!”

"good!"

The weather was hot, and my clothes were dried in just a few minutes.

"The clothes are roasted and spoil quickly!" Huang Damei muttered, straightened the clothes and helped him put them on.

"I'm leaving." King Wei turned around.

"Tomorrow I will make mutton pancakes, please come earlier!"

Sister Huang stood by the door.

King Wei turned around and glanced at her, "Keep the door closed tonight."

Sister Huang was happy, "There is a knife next to my bed."

King Wei took two steps and turned back, "By the way, I almost forgot. You need to add more green onions to the mutton pancakes. You forgot to add green onions last time and the taste was a bit strong."

“Many people like the pungent taste of mutton!”

It's rare for a poor person to eat mutton. When he eats it, he wishes he could retain all the taste of the mutton, so that he can have a long aftertaste.

"I can eat it more often in the future." King Wei said.

"I'm afraid that's not possible!" Huang Damei is very good at calculating. "Unless there is a cross-cutting business every day, if you eat often, you will be poor. Besides, you have to save some money."

"I also have money." King Wei said.

Sister Huang smiled and said, "How much money can you have?"

"Enough for mutton."

"real?"

King Wei said seriously: "Really."

Sister Huang covered her mouth and snickered, "Even if it's true, this person has to work if he has money."

"Wouldn't it be better to take a rest?" King Wei liked to have nothing to do, whether it was in a daze or drinking.

"Aye said that God lets you live just to let you do things. If you don't do things, God will think that he has raised you in vain and will deal with you. What... makes you do nothing and live in a muddle all day long..."

"Those are mostly rich people, they can have fun!" King Wei said with a smile.

"Hey! I know what you are talking about, but Aye said that this person eats simple food, and when he is used to it, he feels it is sweet and enjoys it.

All day long, I have eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, fine wines and delicacies. I have eaten too much, but I feel it is tasteless. Why? I am just too greedy.

This man! The more greedy he is, the less happy he will be."

King Wei was startled and said with a smile: "That makes sense."

"Really?" Huang Damei said proudly: "If Aye were here, we could talk for a long time with a bowl of old wine and a plate of beans. At that time, I was sitting on the edge, pouring him wine while listening to what he said...

"

King Wei left.

Sister Huang stood there, looking at everything in the blacksmith shop.

"Aye, I really want to pour you another bowl of wine."

King Wei suddenly appeared outside the door.

Look at her.

"I like drinking too."

Then, he left.

Sister Huang's face turned red, she stamped her feet and said, "Little thief!"

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her feet were light. She tidied up the room, took some money, put it in a money bag, and carefully placed it on her chest and abdomen.

Since Lin'an opened a trade road, there have been a lot more thieves in the city.

After closing the door, Sister Huang turned around, took a few steps back, looked at the sign, and said with satisfaction: "Ah, the Huang's Blacksmith Shop will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future."

"Sister, where are you going?"

There were acquaintances on both sides of the street, and they all spoke when they saw Sister Huang.

“Go shopping!”

Sister Huang’s voice is clear and crisp.

An old man smiled and said: "I haven't seen her so happy since Aye died. This person! One day he lives, he should be happy one day."

A woman shouted: "Sister, remember to give me a pair of scissors when you get back, so that Li Er can take action!"

Sister Huang was angry, "Can't I beat him?"

The woman smiled and said: "You can't beat me, but you want Li Er's. I'll give you more money!"

"knew."

Sister Huang was unconvinced, but her eyebrows were curved.

When we arrived at a cloth shop, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sister, are you here to buy cloth? Just in time, the good cloth comes from Chang'an, and the embroidery is just like the real thing."

"Show me the fabric used by men."

"To whom?" the shopkeeper frowned, "Sister, I watched you grow up too. After you left, the neighbors in this street are looking at you! If you have something to do, just talk. Who are you doing this for?

?”

"Li Er."

Sister Huang smiled sweetly, "He helped me a lot."

"Do you know the details of this person?" The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, like a boss on the stage trying to figure out a suspect.

"He is a working man and can earn his own money, and he never asked me for money."

"That's okay. But remember, man! If he wants to attack you, he will talk sweetly. Sister, please remember this, sweet words sound good, but life will be difficult!"

"Why?"

"Sweet words are only temporary. The more pleasant a man speaks, the more fake he is inside. Such a man! You will not be reliable in the future!"

"What kind of thing do you want?"

"He doesn't say much, but when he sees you happy, he will cherish you. Remember, he loves you, helps you with things, helps you... Things you didn't expect, he thought of and did for you, but...

Don’t say it, or say less.”

"Just... do more and talk less?"

"Hey! That's what it means." The shopkeeper smiled and said: "He who talks a lot but does little is a man like this! Stay away!"

"Okay, I understand."

After choosing the cloth and giving the money, Sister Huang took her leave.

The landlady just happened to come in and asked, "Is the eldest sister here?"

"Why!"

Sister Huang exchanged greetings with her and then left.

Behind him, the boss's wife roared.

"I agreed to visit my Aye. I promised today and tomorrow, but it's been five days and I still haven't gone. I've been talking about it, but I just won't do it!"

Sister Huang stood outside and pursed her lips with a smile.

"Big sister!"

"Why!"

"Sister, did you buy some cloth?"

"Yes!"

"Sister, come home for dinner!"

"No, I've already made noodles at home."

Sister Huang happily greeted the neighbors.

Woof woof woof!

The watchdog of a liquor store suddenly growled behind her.

Sister Huang turned around subconsciously and saw a man in green frowning at the dog.

I think I've seen this person before?

Sister Huang suddenly thought of the man who passed by the door before.

Isn't it this person?

The man glanced at her with calm eyes.

After her father left, Sister Huang was very nervous for a while, worried that someone would come in at night and seek money or death.

So, she put a knife next to her bed and slept very alertly.

Women's intuition is also maximized.

There seems to be something wrong with this man.

Sister Huang hurriedly entered the house, inserted the door bolt in, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, Sister Huang, who had nothing to do, got ready to go to bed early.

As soon as she entered the house, she heard movement.

A very slight sound.

Like a bird stepping on a branch or an insect falling into the water.

Sister Huang wanted to turn around.

From behind, a voice came, "If you dare to scream, you will die!"

Sister Huang's heart tightened, her whole body stiffened, and she whispered softly: "You, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, I just want to ask a few words. If you tell me honestly, I will leave right away."

"good!"

Huang Damei was at a loss for words at this moment and wished the man could ask questions quickly.

"How long has Li Er been here?"

Li Er?

Is this person Li Er’s enemy?

Sister Huang felt cold in her heart.

Li Er has been here for half a month.

"Been here for seven days."

She cut her time in half.

"What is he doing here?"

Following the question, a knife was placed on her shoulder, "Yeah, I've been watching from the side for a while. If you dare to lie, your head will fall on the ground!"

Then, within seven days... Huang Damei said in a trembling voice: "Don't kill me, you... move the knife away, I will tell you the truth."

Instead, the knife approached his neck, "Say!"

King Wei said that he didn't want to start a fire and couldn't bear to go out to eat all day long, so he just wanted to see her for her good cooking skills.

"He said he had nothing to do, so he came to hang out."

"What did he tell you?"

There is so much to talk about, how the Zhang family and the Li family make the blacksmith shop more prosperous, and how a single woman can protect herself.

For example, now, Sister Huang is doing what Li Er said.

Only if you tell half the truth and half lies, others will believe you.

"He said that the blacksmith shop didn't make much money, so he had to do something else. He also said that he had money, a lot of money."

Li Er said he could make money, but he didn't say he had a lot of money.

The man behind him was really startled.

Then, he sneered, "He likes you, but has he slept with you?"

Sister Huang's face turned red, "No, no."

"Lying, I'll kill you!"

The man behind him said fiercely.

"You can try."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Li Er!

Sister Huang felt that the man behind her was trembling, even his voice was shaking.

The knife was still on her shoulder, but the hand holding the knife was shaking violently, as if she was sifting chaff.

Why didn't he use me to threaten Li Er?

Moreover, he has a knife!

Why are you still afraid of Li Er?

This trembling thing is like a kid meeting a devil.

"I didn't hurt her, please spare her life!"

The man said in a trembling voice.

The knife slowly left Sister Huang's shoulder.

Sister Huang turned around.

I saw the man in green kneel down slowly towards Li Er who was walking towards him.

At this moment, Li Er seemed to be glowing when he turned around.

Li Er came over.

"Who else?"

"No more! I swear, no more!"

Huang Damei said happily: "How do you know? By the way, report to the official! I'll give you a shout."

"No."

"Then spare him?"

"good!"

King Wei slapped the man, carried him with one hand, walked to the wall, and threw him out.

He turned around and clapped his hands, "Look, I spared him!"

The man who listens to you is the most reliable... Huang Damei smiled and said: "Okay."

Outside the wall, the man who had just escaped from death laughed in a low voice: "This fool, for the sake of a country girl, let him go, and turned around to send the news back... King Wei actually had an affair with a country girl, hahahaha

……Well!"

The guard carrying a wooden stick knocked the man unconscious with a stick. He looked at the wall and said, "Aren't you waiting, Your Majesty?"

Li Han walked out of the night, "No need, let's go!"
