The big man carefully placed the butcher's knife on the knife holder, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. His expression was as if an artist had just completed a masterpiece.
Hua Bushi sighed softly and said: "Every time I watch Ou Shi strike, it's like drinking a jar of thirty-year-old daughter's red. It's really fascinating!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Hua Bushi, but said angrily: "Master Hua, are you sure that you are fascinated by watching me forge, not because of this little girl?"
Hua Bushi's face turned red and he said, "Master Ou is making fun of you too much!"
He turned to Yang Jiangyi and said: "This master Ou is a descendant of the great master Ou Yezi. His forging skills are superb and unrivaled in the world!"
Yang Jiangyi bowed Yingying and said: "Little girl Yang Jiangyi has met Master Ou!"
The respect she expressed was not because the middle-aged man was the descendant of a famous man, but because she had seen the process of the man forging iron. Anyone who could use the hammer to such a level was worthy of respect.
The big man waved his hand, pulled out a bench, sat down abruptly, and then said to Hua Bushi: "Master Hua, why did you come to my blacksmith shop?"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke came here and asked Master Ou for help. This Miss Yang has a green steel sword that was accidentally broken the day before yesterday. Xiao Ke wants to ask Master Ou to repair it. Is it convenient?"
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it to me!"
Yang Jiangyi never thought that Hua Bushi brought her here to repair her sword. After a slight hesitation, she took off the sword from her waist and presented it to Master Ou with both hands.
Taking the long sword, the middle-aged man shook his hand and the sword was unsheathed.
"Very good! Very good! What a pity! What a pity!" said the middle-aged man.
Yang Jiangyi was a little stunned and said, "Master, what does it mean to be a good person but a pity?"
The middle-aged man said: "This sword is made of fine iron mixed with carbon steel. It has been forged in eighty-one furnaces and then condensed with ice crystals. Therefore, it is extremely hard and can cut gold and iron. It has an extremely strong external force."
It’s hard to destroy, it’s a good sword!”
Hua Bushi said: "Then what's the explanation for this pity?"
The big man said: "It's a pity that the man who forged the sword didn't understand the principle of 'very strong but easy to break' and was too superstitious about the hardness of the material, so he forged the sword body into such a small size. You must know that everything in this world has its own interdependence and mutual restraint."
How can the most rigid thing be an exception? If I expected it right, this sword was destroyed by the counterattack of the feminine power. The force of that force shook his body, which is why the sword itself is hard.
So what if it’s incomparable?”
Yang Jiangyi came to the ground respectfully and said: "The master's discerning eyes are like a torch and his words are full of mystery. The little girl admires him very much!"
The big man said: "Little girl, there is no need to admire me. I am just an old blacksmith. I have never practiced martial arts, and I am not a monk or Taoist priest. I don't know any secrets. I just talked about my experience in forging utensils!"
Hua Bushi said: "Then Master Ou may be able to cultivate this sword well?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed, his eyes widened, and he said, "Have you ever seen a weapon that I can't repair?!"
Hua Bushi realized that he had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "Yes, Master Ou's casting and refining skills are unparalleled in the world, so he can certainly repair them."
The big man ignored Hua Bushi, stood up, took the long sword to the anvil, and said: "You go, come back to get the sword in three days!"
The two of them said goodbye, and when they walked to the door, they heard the voice of the middle-aged man behind them again: "Including the cost of this sword repair, you owe me a total of three hundred and fifty-five taels of silver. Mr. Hua must not forget it.
!”
Hua Bushi turned around and bowed his head, saying: "Master Ou, don't worry, I will never forget Xiao Ke."
When she walked out of the blacksmith shop and saw Hua Bushi's leisurely and contented look, "having many debts, he has no worries", Yang Jiangyi was stunned and secretly made up his mind: He would never lend money to this young master of Huada in this life!
Back on the street, Yang Jiangyi said: "This is the interesting place you said you would take me to?"
Hua Bushi said: "No, the place I mentioned is somewhere else. Helping the girl repair the sword is just a small apology. Xiao Ke has been busy with trivial matters these past two days and has not been able to entertain the girl. Please forgive me for the delay, Miss Yang!"
Yang Jiangyi said: "Humph, what you said sounds nice, but I don't know how many of your words are true?"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke would never dare to deceive Miss Yang. I think she misunderstood me deeply, but one day I will be able to understand Hua Bushi's character."
Yang Jiangyi said: "I already know a lot about you as a person. No need to say more. If there is any other place you can just take me with you!"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke obeys the order."
The two continued to move forward. This time Hua Bushi did not walk along the street, but went into the alleys on the roadside, walking through the twists and turns of the alleys, and even passed through several houses. Yang
When Jiang Yi first came to Wuyang City, she didn't know the path at all. She followed Hua Bushi around and around, and she lost her direction after not going around for long.
"Where are you going, and why are you always circling in these alleys?" She couldn't help but ask Hua Bushi.
"Don't be anxious, we will be there soon." Hua Bushi said: "Dad ordered me not to leave the house, so I ran away secretly, so I wandered around the alleys a few times, and even those who were following me were caught.
We got rid of it."
Yang Jiangyi nodded repeatedly and said: "This is how it should be, that sneaky person will definitely do this sneaky thing."
Hua Bushi didn't care about Yang Jiangyi's ridicule. He pointed to a house not far ahead and said, "Look, there it is."
This simple and gray house is very inconspicuous. It is located in the deepest part of the alley. The courtyard wall is not high and the courtyard door is closed. There is a small plaque hanging above the courtyard door with several words written in wild cursive.
Words: "Evil Dog Villa".
Hua Bushi walked to the gate of the courtyard, pointed to the plaque and said to Yang Jiangyi: "These four words were written by me myself. How about it? Do you think the writing is very impressive?"
Yang Jiangyi pointed her finger and praised: "This plaque is really good. It would be even better if it was written in a way that people can understand it!"
At this time, there was only a "squeak" sound, and the courtyard door was opened from the inside.
"Young Master!"
But a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old jumped out from the door, with a round apple face and a white and rosy face, very cute.
"Master, Master, you haven't been here for a long time. I miss you so much!" The little girl hugged Hua Bushi's arm, clinging to her like a bird, with an extremely close look on her face.
Hua Bushi said with a smile on his face: "I've been on a long journey, so I haven't been able to come here these days, but I'm always thinking about you, especially Ling'er. I think your Qinggong has improved again!"
"Of course!" the little girl said proudly, "Senior Brother Zhu couldn't catch me on the plum blossom pile yesterday!"
