Old Man Hu smiled and said, "Of course not. Didn't you see that those queuing up were all ordinary people, and the handsome young men in gorgeous clothes were all heading to the other side to enter the city."

Li Hao smiled and said: "I would have seen it if I knew it, otherwise I would be standing here stupidly."

At this time, they were all wearing new silk brocade robes, like housewives and daughters of wealthy families, but their looks were ordinary.Therefore, not many people look at them.

Li Hao looked at the sums given by people passing by in front of him, and he had an idea in his mind. When he got to the city gate, he handed over a piece of silver, which was about ten taels, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. The money is not considered as a sign of respect, so give it to the officials for a cup of tea."

"Thank you, young lady." The captain who took the money still glanced at the three of them uneasily before letting them go. They were not much more relaxed than they were over there.It's just that this road costs money to enter.

Old Man Hu smiled and said: "Little baby, I know you have never done this kind of thing before, but I didn't expect you to be so clever. You only watched what others did, but you learned to master it."

Li Hao smiled and said: "I've seen this kind of thing a lot in restaurants. It's just that it's a little different. Also, I didn't expect Xiaoxian to be the one who delivers money instead of the cashier. of."

Xue Yuer smiled and said: "Hey, you still collect money, who will give it to you?"

Li Hao said proudly: "Although there are not many opportunities, there are still some. For example, if someone doesn't want to wait any longer, he will send money and ask me to urge the chef to cook first."

"I see."

The three of them entered the city. Although they were riding horses, their movements were extremely slow, no different from walking.People coming and going on the street are not easy to gallop on, and sometimes they are slower than pedestrians.

Li Hao sighed and said: "I didn't expect that one day, riding a horse would be more tiring than walking."

Old Man Hu said with a smile: "This is not surprising. This is a commercial street with shops on both sides. Of course there are more people. It's just that the fat man doesn't want to store the horses elsewhere."

Li Hao smiled bitterly and said: "How can I tell you that there are no people riding horses here? Granny Wang, you have killed us."

The three of them crawled like snails and turtles, and it took them most of an hour to squeeze outside a blacksmith shop.

Li Hao looked up at the store sign and asked Xue Yuer, "Sister Yu, what is this name?"

Xue Yue'er smiled and said: "Oh, forget it if you don't know me, but you still have to ask, why don't you learn to read if you have the skills?"

Li Hao even laughed loudly and said: "You are still talking about me. There are only four words on the sign, but you have said so much without even naming it. You are not tired of it."

Xue Yue'er was speechless, shook her head and said, "Well, if I had known you were cunning, my sister couldn't defeat you. I'm afraid of you. Remember these four words, Quanzhou Fine Craftsmanship."

Li Haodao: "I remembered the name of the store, not the words. Of course I remembered it clearly. Oh, no, the word Quanzhou is different from the one I just saw outside the city gate. You won't bully me into not knowing the words. , fool me."

Xue Yue'er smiled and said: "Haha, I didn't expect you to remember that those two characters are different from these two characters. It's rare that these characters are of course a little different. They are the seal characters of the previous generation, and this font is the common font of this dynasty. Of course It’s different.”

Li Hao stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Then how come you, a fake scholar, know so clearly? Don't you only know a few words?"

Xue Yue'er smiled and said: "You don't know this. Although the fonts are different, the shapes are very similar, so of course we recognize them. With your curiosity, you might as well learn the calligraphy earlier, so you don't have to be so confused. .”

Li Hao jumped off the horse and said: "I just don't want to learn, so I come here to ask you every day, hehe."

Old Man Hu had been in for a while, when the side door opened with a "bang" sound, and a young, strong man greeted them, took their horses, and hurried in.

Xue Yue'er and Li Hao entered through the main entrance and couldn't help but feel strange when they saw all kinds of swords and armors, as well as sickles, shovels and other farm tools placed in front of them.

Xue Yue'er asked curiously: "Is this a weapons shop or a farm tools shop that makes everything?"

A shopkeeper smiled and said: "As the girl can see, this shop is both a weapons shop and a farm tools shop. As long as the girl wants to make it, our shop will do our best to build it. You should go to the forging room in the backyard. There are people behind it. Waiting for you."

Li Hao and Xue Yue walked into the inner courtyard and saw two stoves. Five or six people were busy there. Those who pulled the stoves, hammered, trimmed and assembled were still very busy.

Old Man Hu was chatting with a tall and strong man there. The man was about seven feet tall, with muscles all over his body. His face and skin were a little blackened by the fireworks. He was wielding a big hammer. Banging a long sword.

As soon as he saw Li Hao come in, he threw the cold sword-shaped embryo into the stove and shouted: "A Dong, you will make this sword later. If you don't make it well, you won't be allowed to eat. Wait for me." Come and see.”

The young man who opened the door to catch the horse said "Oh", pulled the stove, and looked curiously at the two gorgeously dressed, average-looking little girls in front of him.

The tall man slapped him and said, "Look at me, I'm not worthy of you."

A Dong made a bitter face, rubbed his head and said: "Master, why do you beat people randomly? There are guests. Of course you have to see them. I'm not blind."

A Dong felt embarrassed and looked at the two little girls again.

"You'd better not be blind. I'll wait to see how you make the sword look like."

After the tall man finished speaking, he led Li Hao and the others to a small room next to the forging room.

"These two are Li Hao and Xue Yue'er. My name is Xingtie, Fat Ball's friend." The tall man moved a few stools and asked the three of them to sit down. He poured three cups of tea and pushed them to them. .

Old Man Hu shook his head and said: "You are both brothers, but the difference between you two is so big. Brother Xing likes to make novel tools, but brother Ling likes to make sharp swords. And the attitude of these two people towards things, It's quite different. If Senior Brother Ling is as easy to talk to as you, it would be good for Fatty to stay at his peak and play for a few more days."

Li Hao and Xue Yue'er said in surprise: "Senior is actually a junior brother who is crazy about weapons."

Xingtiedao: "It's strange, isn't it? I feel the same way. A person like me looks no different from an ordinary blacksmith. How can I be a famous weapon maniac? Do you think that I am just trying to gain fame?" generation"

Li Hao stuck out his tongue and said: "How could it be possible? Perhaps the senior wants to master the secret of forging more skillfully in this ordinary forging."

Li Hao has recently imitated Xue Yue'er's movements and has become more and more accustomed to it.

Xingtie nodded and said: "You are just Li Hao who has come up with many ideas and wants to forge exquisite hidden weapons. Can you draw pictures?"

Li Hao: "I don't know a few characters, how can I draw pictures?"

Xingtie said: "Okay, you tell me the principles and I'll draw it. However, if the result is not ideal, I will spank you."

"

Li Hao added: "But I don't know how this iron tool creates strong elasticity. I'm afraid it won't work just by pressing the iron pieces."

Star Railway: "I will solve this elasticity problem. Just tell me your method."

So, Li Hao explained the new plan that he had come up with over the past few days based on the principle of prison traps. Xingtie was drawing pictures there, and by the way, he also followed Li Hao to discuss the functions of these devices.Slowly, several sets of hidden weapon plans designed by Li Hao were drawn on paper by Xingtie.

The more Xingtie painted, the more energetic he became. He painted with great joy. His thick hands painted quickly on the paper. Moreover, the paintings were very lifelike and very beautiful.

Old Man Hu looked at the paintings for a while. They were all round tubes, thin needles and the like. Seeing that the boss was bored, he shook his head impatiently and said: "I'm going to have a drink, fat man. You guys can do it slowly. It won't take more than a few days." It can’t be built.”

Sure enough, Xingtie nodded and said: "Of course. Don't look at these things that look simple. They have to be powerful and precise. That's a joke. There can't be any mistakes. In my opinion, this alone It takes three or four days to manage the delayed flying needle tube, and it will probably take more than half a month to build all these things."

Old Man Hu said: "Well, I'll leave these two dolls with you. Fatty is going to drink. See you in half a month."

Xingtie said: "But I don't know whether these two little babies can bear the hardship. There is no one to serve me here."

When Old Man Hu heard this, he smiled, ran out, jumped over the wall and disappeared.

Li Haodao: "We have suffered all kinds of hardships along the way, so why do we need others to serve us?"

Xingtie nodded with a smile and said: "I didn't expect that these two little kids are already very knowledgeable about people at a young age. They must have suffered a lot after being in the world for so long. By the way, give me your two daggers. Let me take a look and see if this senior brother has improved his skills."

Xue Yue'er blushed and lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid there may be some inconvenience here."

Of course Xingtie knew what she was talking about and said with a smile: "It's okay. I have a secret room here. You can go inside and take it out and give it to me."

As Xingtie said, he patted a wall, "click, click, click, click, click, click," and with a slight sound, a portal suddenly appeared underground.Xue Yue'er and Li Hao walked down together. Xue Yue'er looked at Li Hao who was going down with her and opened her mouth to speak, but she retracted her words and walked in with her head lowered.

Xingtie chuckled and shook his head as he watched the two people disappear, not knowing what he was thinking.

As soon as Li Hao walked into the secret room, he took off his pants and took out the cold iron dagger tied with a leather strip from the inside of his thigh.

Xue Yue'er lowered her head, not daring to look at him. When Li Hao put on his pants, Xue Yue'er was still in a daze with her head lowered.Li Hao pushed her strangely, "Sister Yue'er, you should hurry up."

Taking advantage of the extra time, Li Hao looked at the furnishings in this room. He saw a dazzling night pearl above his head, and there were some novel and weird gadgets on the shelves around him.Li Hao touched this now and then that, murmuring: "What are these things used for?"

Suddenly, Li Hao shouted: "Sister Yue'er, come here and take a look at this. There is a little iron man here. I don't know what it is for."

When Li Hao looked at Xue Yue'er, he saw that her crescent moon was indeed tied to the inner side of her snow-white thigh.Xue Yue'er grabbed the crescent moon in her hand in a panic, trying to put on her pants in a hurry. She suddenly slowed down her movements and boldly raised her head to look at Li Hao, only to see that Li Hao had already grabbed the iron man and was playing with it. Looking for the mechanism button on Iron Man.Xue Yue'er sighed softly, feeling a little disappointed.

Xue Yue'er put on her clothes, tidied them up, walked to Li Hao holding Yue Ya, and said resentfully: "Have you found the mechanism?"

Li Hao said excitedly: "Of course, it doesn't matter who I am, Xiaoxian."

Li Hao grabbed the iron man's feet and turned them around a few times. When he placed them on the table, the iron man began to dance on the table.

Xue Yue'er was mesmerized by the dancing little iron man again, and said in surprise: "Senior Xingtie's skills are unbelievable. Li Hao, please go and ask that senior to give me this little iron man."

Li Haodao: "You want the thing, of course you have to ask for it yourself."

Xue Yue'er said: "You help me to beg. Then senior can chat with you better. Besides, you are better at talking. You should be able to persuade senior to give this thing to me."

Li Hao nodded and went out with Xue Yuer, who was still holding the little iron man in her hand.

Xing Tie looked overjoyed when he saw the two men coming out with daggers. Suddenly when he saw the little iron man in Xue Yue'er's hand, his eyes became a little disappointed.

Li Haodao: "Senior, we want this cute little iron man, can you give it to us?"

Xingtie swept away his disappointment and said with a smile: "She must have asked you to beg me."

Li Hao stuck out his tongue again, "Senior is really good, he guessed it right."

Xingtie said: "It's okay to give it to you, but this thing is very important to me, so you have to exchange it for something."

Xue Yue'er said: "We will buy it for as much silver as you want."

Xingtie shook his head and said: "If you don't sell it for silver, if you want it, you have to exchange it for one of these daggers."

Xue Yue'er looked at the little iron man in her hands, then at the daggers in their hands, and said reluctantly: "Then I'd better not give it up."

Xingtie said to Li Hao: "Do you want more?"

Li Hao said indifferently: "Just change it. Anyway, this dagger was given to me by the old man. Although it is sharp, it will cause a lot of trouble, but it will be at ease if it is less. In life, as long as you are happy, this little iron man can make you happy." Sister Yue'er is happy, so I'll give it to her in exchange."

Xue Yue'er became very happy, but still said: "Li Hao, I don't want it anymore, I really don't want it anymore. When we are outside, it is better to use this dagger for self-defense."

Xingtie nodded and said: "Very good, the little guy is thinking wisely. This little iron man is given to this little girl. It is useless anyway. Keeping it makes me sad."

Xue Yue'er said: "Senior must have built this little iron man, and originally wanted to give it to his most beloved person."

Saying this, Xue Yuer looked at Li Hao again, but Li Hao just looked at the little iron man in her hand, which made her feel a strange feeling of loss and helplessness.

Xingtie looked at everything in his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, at the beginning, I also fell in love with a girl. She liked some strange things very much, so I made various strange toys for her in different ways. Watching She smiled happily, and I felt happy too. Suddenly one day, she said, these things you made are too simple. Can you make a little person so that it can dance like a human being? For her With this idea, I spent all my time studying how to make such a little figure, and I was obsessed with it. The master shook his head and advised me to concentrate on learning how to make a sword that can cut gold and jade. I couldn't understand it, but I have been researching all day long on how to build this kind of little iron man that can dance. My master was so angry that he kicked me out of the master's school, saying that I was just playing with things and losing my ambition."

Xingtie said, crying sadly.
