0053 The old man takes advantage of his head, red and hot
Shuiboshan is located at the junction of Shushui Kingdom and the Dalu Dynasty. The mountains are undulating and continuous, occupying eight or nine out of ten borders between the two countries.
The mountains are surrounded by the water and are backed by the Yashui River. The river is more than a thousand feet wide, the water flows rapidly and rapidly, and the surging river water is surging. It is difficult for boats to cross, and most of them sank in the fight.
Because of the natural danger of Yashui River, the Shushui Kingdom was not destroyed by the powerful Dalu Dynasty. The Dalu Dynasty crossed the river on a large scale and was easily discovered by the spies of Shushui Kingdom. Half of the silent river in the river was left, and the remaining soldiers were tired. If they were blocked by the Shushui Kingdom's naval army, it would become a nightmare for the mainland dynasty.
The mountains and rivers of the two countries are bounded by the mountains, the mountains belong to the Shushui Kingdom, and the water belongs to the Dalu Dynasty. There is not any connection or contact. There is a floating bridge on the Cliff River, and there is no record of what time it was built.
The crossing bridge is less than two meters wide, and it can be used by merchants and cars to pass by. The two countries have evil intentions but there are still transactions.
The years of the floating bridge have been long, and only fifty caravans and goods can be allowed to pass each time. Passing merchants or corpses are well aware of the pros and cons, so no team dares to force it to pass, otherwise losing other people's lives is small, and losing one's own lives is big.
The caravans and individuals of the two countries have formed a tacit understanding for many years. Each of them passes through one team and passes alternately to ensure that they are safe and that if someone crosses the bridge, they will not force them to go up the bridge.
As for the black sky’s vision, no one passed by the bridge. There are only a few smugglers, and safety issues can be guaranteed.
The conditions were restricted and a large number of officers and soldiers could not flow into the city, nor could they pass the siege equipment. The Dalu Dynasty did not pay attention to attacking this floating bridge.
There are advantages and disadvantages. The natural terrain of the water and mountains is hidden and there is enough depth to escape. This leads to some outlaws or fugitives, in order to avoid arrest by the government, most of them are hiding in the continuous mountains.
The number of people accumulated is considered bandits, also known as bandits. He occupied the mountain to make Wang Xiaoyao happy, and the government was unable to eliminate them all. After a few trips, the mountains became an indelible place for the country of calligraphy and water.
This is a vicious cycle, and some books have been heard a lot, and the stories are believed to be true. People in the martial arts world think that eating meat and drinking wine is heroic, and they take the initiative to go up the mountain to fall into the grass and become bandits. Over time, the bandits who are wandering in the mountains become more and more rampant.
The front of Shuibou Mountain is mostly barren desert, with only a small county, called Shanliang County. State-owned soldiers of Shushui are always stationed in Shanliang County.
Because of the repeated attempts to suppress bandits, the country was busy with people and money, but could not make contributions. Therefore, the bandits here were left without caring about it. They left a small number of soldiers and stationed in Shanliang County for many years to protect the safety of the land and water.
The city gate of Shanliang County will be open during the day and can be passed by by merchants or individuals. It will be closed at night, and no one is allowed to wait for leaving or entering the city.
Mr. Su led Xing Zhen. It was already night when he entered Shanliang County and was not suitable for leaving the city.
Xing Zhen thought he would find an inn to stay for one night, but he was taken to a blacksmith shop by Mr. Su.
Mr. Su did not knock on the door, and he led Xing Zhen straight into the forging room of the blacksmith shop.
Mr. Yu, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop in Yushan, is a tall and strong old man.
Wearing a gray jacket with some patches, he looks simple. He is confident but strong, and he speaks like a bell when he speaks.
Think about it, if you make a living by slapping iron all year round, your physical strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people.
When Mr. Yu saw Mr. Su, he immediately put down the iron tool that was beating in his hand. He opened his arms and hugged him openly.
"How can Mr. Su, who is thousands of miles away, have time to visit the shop?"
It was no exaggeration to say that the sound was like a bell. Xing Zhen, who had first met, heard the sound of speaking, and the sound of air flowing around.
Mr. Su responded cheerfully: "Brother, you're a little bit less, there are still children here."
Then he introduced Mr. Yu to Xingzhen and to Mr. Yu. When the old man heard Xingzhen's name, he was surprised in a flash. After glanced at the broken gourd on the young man's waist, he felt relieved.
Xing Zhen was ignorant and had no idea why, so he had to chuckled with respect, and then stood by and listened to the two of them greeting each other.
It's just some, how are old businessmen doing recently? I heard that blacksmith shops and private schools are a little troublesome, has they ever solved it? General Ji Leng and others have been doing well recently.
Mr. Su answered one by one and asked about some things about Yu Lao Blacksmith Shop. After hearing his conversation, Yu Lao was an old man with no relatives or children, no reason.
Xing Zhen, who was next to him, was not interested in this, but the curiosity was that Uncle Shang also knew people from Shanliangcheng, but I didn’t know whether Uncle Shang knew Shan bandits too.
I had no choice but to look at the casting room. The room was not big, and I removed the furnace that Yu Lao had vacated. There were three left, and one of them was acquaintance Yu Qinglu.
This guy's personality has not changed, and he is still dull. He asked Mr. Su and gave Xing Zhen a smile. Then he continued to make iron forging, as if in his world, there was nothing else except iron for iron.
The remaining two iron craftsmen, one of whom is a middle-aged man with a big and round waist, looks like a man with physical strength, and his personality is a bit similar to Yu Qinglu.
Seeing that there was an acquaintance in the blacksmith shop, I looked back and didn't know each other. Then I made a blacksmith forging again, working very seriously.
Another person looks a little out of place with the iron man. He is not thin or strong. The casting room is high in temperature and he wears short shirts, but Mr. Yu may be old and poorly energetic, and he wears a jacket.
Although the exposed arms under the man's short shirt were not thin, the arts and sciences of his muscles were not visible, and he was not as skilled as a master when knocking on iron tools.
These meticulous gaps can not escape the observation and familiarity with the iron forging of Xing Zhen. Although he is curious, he will not ask more questions.
Mr. Su and Mr. Yu seem to have a different relationship, as if they have endless things to say. They laughed happily and were sad. Xing next to him was really ashamed.
Xing Zhen was almost in pain on the road. It was nothing to stand for a while, but Xing Zhen was wearing a brand new cotton robe. In this high-temperature casting room, he was sweating profusely.
It seems that I feel something in my heart, but in fact it is more to take care of Xing Zhen. After all, Mr. Su is a divine cultivator and will not care about this little bit of heat.
Mr. Su who was in the hot chat suddenly changed his mind: "I said to Lao Yu, Xing Zhen and I were hungry all day long in the cold weather. You won't let us stand here all the time, right?"
After suddenly realizing it, Old Yu slapped his forehead and clasped his fists: "I am a big man who is rude and rude. Let's go to have a meal now."
Mr. Su said: "Where are you going? You don't eat at the blacksmith shop? Are you going to pluck your hair?"
Mr. Yu was a little ashamed: "Isn't this apology?"
Mr. Su said with deep meaning: "I'm afraid I'm going to borrow punishment, it's really gone."
It seemed that his old story was exposed. Old Yu, who was already apologized, was even more ashamed and his face turned slightly red.
"Do you eat it or not, save one serving if you don't eat it."
Mr. Su immediately retorted: "Why don't you eat? You're just hungry."
Mr. Yu waved to everyone and said, "It's stopped working, put out the fire and go out for dinner. I reward everyone tonight and eat hot pot."
Maybe Mr. Yu is very careful in calculating and doesn’t give these guys a good meal. This is also expected. It’s good if an old man can cook, so don’t think about making any sumptuous food.
After hearing the hot pot, the three people who were thrusting the irons cheered and shouted: "Yu Laoyingming".
The speed of extinguishing the fire and cleaning up the guys is at least three times faster than usual. Xing, who has never eaten hot pot, is he really ashamed. Is it really so attractive? You must taste it carefully later.
Mr. Su spoke at the right time: "It's rare that Boss Yu is generous once, so I'll just be generous to the end. I'll choose the place this time."
When Mr. Yu heard this, he looked even worse than taking his life. He shook his head and said, "No, no, you can eat it, you can't waste it too much."
Mr. Su looked at Xing Zhen with his eyes slanted and joked: "Look at you, I came with Xing Zhen."
Old Yu looked like a cat with a tail trampled on, his face full of purple eggplant color.
Mr. Su laughed and took Xing Zhenshuai out of Yushan Blacksmith's shop first.
"Take you to the largest restaurant in Shanliang City and let you have a good time."
It seems that he talks to Xing Zhen, but in fact he is more angry with his old man. As expected, the latter blew his beard and stared in the house, whispering his feet and cursing: "Su Yun, you are shameless. Next time I go to Qingyang Town, I will definitely be killed."
By the way, Mr. Su was really not polite, so he led Xing Zhenshu to a magnificent restaurant. It is called a value-for-money brand.
Old Yu, who followed behind, almost had no anger and had no idea how many pounds of blood were bleeding in his heart. He turned around and discussed the three guys who followed him.
"I think you three will go back and wait a moment. I'll finish eating soon and go back to cook for you. I'll make braised pork tonight and add some fish."
The three guys, including Yu Qinglu, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and each accelerated his pace and walked in front of Yu Lao and followed Mr. Su into the restaurant.
Mr. Yu, who fell to the end, kept muttering: "Su Yun, you have no conscience, you three have no conscience, all of you have no conscience."
I chose a private room with four corner tables, and Mr. Yu and Mr. Su each took one side and sat next to each other. Xing Zhen and Yu Qinglu took one side as they approached, while the two left were occupying one side.
The waiter, Mr. Yu, introduced it to everyone one by one. The strong man named Li Ergou, is a local person in Shanliang County. He is as honest and honest as his name is.
The thinner one is named Feng Duozhi, who is also a local person in Shanliangcheng. He seems to be a person with a dynamic mind, but he has hardly spoken along the way.
The wine and food were served, and there was a wine glass in front of each of them, but Xing Zhen did not, but a cup of tea.
Mr. Yu complained: "Why don't you give Xing Zhen a glass of wine to warm up your body when drinking wine in winter."
Mr. Su quickly shook his head: "Xing is really too small and should not drink."
Mr. Yu muttered:: Yu Qinglu was either drunk as usual, but scholars were more particular. What is the difference between one year apart?
Mr. Su said: "It's not enough for one year. Yu Qinglu is about to be fifteen. Now drinking is only two months ahead of time. The real punishment is different, which is equivalent to one year and two months ahead of time."
Mr. Yu was impatient: "Okay, okay, I'm most afraid of reasoning with you scholars. I always have one set of things."
"Come on, let's go first."
Others were drinking Xingzhen tea, so they had no intention and were embarrassed to raise their glasses together. Fortunately, they turned their attention to the so-called delicacies. This hot pot did arouse a lot of thoughts from the boy.
When he looked down at the small plate in front of him, Xing Zhen suddenly had a thrilling and fine sweat beads on his forehead. A red layer was, if you guessed correctly, it was chili pepper. Xing Zhen had never eaten this before, and he felt a little unsure in his heart.
Yu Qinglu, who put down the wine bowl, spoke rarely: "I felt ruthless when I ate it for the first time. I just ate it a few times and I enjoy it very much."
Old Yu echoed: "It's okay, it's not spicy at all, it just looks scary."
Li Ergouzi smiled and said that Feng Duozhi was more outgoing and was more likely to shoot the boss’s horses.
"It's not spicy or spicy, it's really not spicy."
Mr. Su is the most rational: "Adap to it slowly."
