Chapter 213 Scabbard
Thank you for the monthly pass with a heart like purple snow, and the sun and the moon never return. Thank you Hongguang Sanren for the reward.Thank you for recommending friends.

Xu Ling walked out of Mu Yixin's house, and after walking for more than ten meters, he saw an old house that made sword scabbards.It's so easy to recognize in a new building.After all, the government has remodeled the streets of the entire town in recent years, allowing villagers to borrow money to build houses.Moreover, those who want to do business also open the door to convenience and send their certificates to their door.Coupled with the nearby tourist attractions, it can be said that every household has built a new house and started a small business.The worst have opened small hotels.

Unfortunately, this house has not been moved.And no one in the town has ever come to persuade the old man to rebuild.Why?Very simple, an old building from the early Ming Dynasty!The old workshop passed down from generation to generation has now become a provincial cultural relic protection unit.

The mottled green brick courtyard walls exposed pieces of fallen lime, and some dead vines and leaves of creepers remained on it.The tiles lean crookedly and in tatters on the top of the courtyard wall, as if they are talking about its vicissitudes.

The old door with peeling red paint and white door panels is open, and the sound of hula hula comes from inside, which sounds like the sound of a hand-operated windmill used to remove the empty rice husks in the countryside after drying the rice.

Xu Ling walked forward, and what he saw after entering the door was the same flower-filled yard as the previous ones, but this yard was much larger than the previous ones, and the criss-crossing green brick sidewalks separated the huge yard into a large courtyard. squares.Each square is planted with a small number of flowers.Xu Ling counted 36 species.You can see everything from peonies to rhododendrons, honeysuckle to winter jasmine and more.The owner's favorite thing is probably the lotus, especially there are several large tanks placed closest to the hall.Maybe due to proper care and the suitable climate, I didn't expect that there are still flower bones in bloom now, which made Xu Ling very curious.This master can do anything!

As soon as Xu Ling stepped into the hall, he saw two people, one old and one young, making sword scabbards.The young guy was really pulling the bellows, while the old man roasted the long skin of an unknown animal over the fire to soften it, and then tied it to a black scabbard made of two pieces of wood.

The old man seemed to have heard Xu Ling come in, but he didn't turn his head or speak.At this moment, the young man was dripping with sweat, and he wiped his forehead with his hand and asked Xu Ling, "What's the matter?" His tone of voice was stiff, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.Xu Ling was a little surprised, it stands to reason that business people would not be so rude.

Xu Ling replied unhurriedly: "The old man is bothering you. The owner of Youfu Inn on the street introduced that there are sword scabbards for sale here, and I want to buy one."

The old man still didn't speak, and concentrated on wrapping the scabbard with leather.Even a little bit of dissatisfaction will be taken down and started from scratch.This made Xu Ling who saw it full of admiration.Based on this alone, this scabbard is worth buying.

It took half an hour for the old man to put down his work.The young man stood up first and supported the old man, let the old man sit down on the old armchair next to him, and rubbed his shoulders and waist behind him.

The old man took out a big chimney and started to light it and smoke it. The sound of gurgling came from the chimney, which made Xu Ling find it very interesting.This chimney is also an old antique. The dark chimney is embossed with many cranes and pines, as well as clouds, mountains, fog, seas, strange rocks and waterfalls.

While Xu Ling was watching the chimney with relish, the young man became curious about Xu Ling.Generally, the people who come here to buy scabbards are either middle-aged people with big bellies or old people.And when they come in, most of them make loud voices, for fear that others will not know that they have come in.Often in this case, grandpa would not sell any of them.Only those who come here a few times are grandpas and old friends who sell some.

"The young man is here to buy a scabbard?" The old man's old voice sounded, which made Xu Ling wake up from his reverie.

"Well, there is an ancient sword at home that is three feet three inches and three fingers wide. Grandpa asked me to buy a scabbard. It turned out that the scabbard was lost during the Anti-Japanese War." Xu Ling said calmly.This lie can't be avoided. Look at the lotus in front of the door. The old man is also a noble person. If he buys it with ordinary things, he will definitely return with no success. The proprietress will explain it when he comes.

"Oh? Then follow my grandson to the lobby at the back and take one if you like it." After speaking, the old man stood up and took the scabbard he had just made and went upstairs from the side stairs.

This made the young man dumbfounded. Grandpa had never sold scabbards like this before. Even an old friend came there and asked carefully. What happened today?But since I said it, I am very happy to be able to sell it.

Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, if the old man questioned him, he really didn't know what to say.Only after reaching the back door did I realize that this is the courtyard of the second entrance, and the back is the place to eat and stay.In the lobby, Xu Ling saw more than a dozen scabbards.What surprised Xu Ling was that the grandparents and grandsons should have a lot of stocks. Why are there so few?
"It's strange, isn't it?" The young man saw Xu Ling's doubts, and said in a hoarse voice with a smile: "My grandfather and I sometimes do one job a year, sometimes half a year, and the longest time my grandfather was looking for materials for two I only made one in [-]. So there are not many, my throat is like this because of the fire when I was a child." After finishing speaking, he also smiled wryly, and he still needs his help, otherwise it would be nice to have a half-finished product.

Xu Ling's face was serious, and he said in a respectful tone: "You and your grandfather are both respected masters!" After Xu Ling finished speaking, he looked at the wall and found more than a dozen scabbards in various colors, white , yellow, light red, light gray, and black.Xu Ling observed carefully, and when he saw a black scabbard hanging on the top, his eyes were immediately attracted: the scabbard was not conspicuous at all, but the plain black was impressive It feels radiant and restrained!The light texture shows the producer's unique ingenuity, and the texture seems to form a mysterious pattern, like auspicious clouds and flowers, the more you look at it, the more you can't bear to look away.

"That's it!" Xu Ling said, pointing to the black scabbard.

The young man knew that he was going to choose this when Xu Ling was looking at it. After all, as long as someone who loves swords can match this scabbard, he will definitely choose it.Simple dazzling, the highest state!This is also the most proud work of his grandfather.

"Since my grandfather agrees with you coming here, it means that you can buy everything. But this is my grandfather's hard work, and it is not cheap. 50!" The young man said here with no expression on his face, just stretched out five fingers Said to Xu Ling.Xu Ling nodded, "Can I swipe my card?" The scabbard is worth the price.

The last thing to do is to transfer money. This kind of old house is still a provincial cultural relic protection unit. There are really no modern things. Xu Ling didn't even see the network cable.

After transferring the money by phone, Xu Ling took his scabbard and left.I don't want flowers anymore, this girl is obviously just for entertainment.I am going to buy some more things to prepare for entering the underworld.This is a quick battle, and I will rush back as soon as I confirm it.Yu Ying and Xu Bing's cars are still in Hongdu City, and the sapphire processing should be almost done.

But before he left the street, he met Mu Yixin again when he went to the flower garden. This time she stopped Xu Ling with a guilty smile, which made him vigilant. Play tricks again.

Seeing Xu Ling's guarded face, Mu Yi glared angrily, and said: "My dad said, let you in, hum! Dare to talk nonsense to make you look good!" Xu Ling was stunned, this is singing Which play, after the small toss is over, come the big one?

This time it was Xu Ling who was thinking about it. When he saw Mu Yixin's parents, he realized that they had just returned from selling flowers. When he saw that all the flowers had been watered, he knew that the little girl did not do it by herself.They know their daughter too well, how could someone who would rather watch Korean dramas than move a little have such thoughts.So I asked my daughter to wait on the street after learning that Xu Ling was helping.

Father Mu gave Xu Ling [-] blue rose seeds that he had promised, and then gave Xu Ling two pots at the price of two hundred and one pots.Otherwise, this upright man has to sell him all!Two hundred is really not expensive, they sell it for one thousand!Can't bargain yet.In the end, Xu Ling also bought several thousand yuan of other flower seeds for space planting.

Xu Ling thanked them, and left the courtyard with two pots of flowers, ready to go back to the hotel.Unexpectedly, Mu Yixin came out with her, and when Xu Ling walked out the door, she asked, "What's your name?" Xu Ling turned around, and seeing that slightly blushing face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Helpless, he said with a wry smile: "My name is Xu Ling. I'm leaving, I won't see you off!", and left quickly after speaking.

When we returned to the hotel, the flower pot in Xu Ling's hand was already in the space, and the seeds were planted.Xu Ling also went to the supermarket to buy a lot of food and supplies.

Early the next morning, Xu Ling left the hotel when it was still daylight, and embarked on a journey to Scarlet Hell.But Bai Xue, who had been taught by her family overnight, never let go of Xu Ling in her heart.
