The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

There is a thatched shed in the middle of the courtyard, and under the shed are large furnaces and bellows. The seemingly simple environment and equipment, a few strong men are busy blowing wind and chopping firewood.Passing through the courtyard, the big room at the top is the workshop where finished ironware is specially placed.Most of them are swords, and occasionally there are a few sickles and shovels caught inside.Pan Pan took a rough look around, but he didn't see any small iron objects like iron nails, so he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Zhan Zhao casually picked up a big back ring saber, weighed it in his hand, and waved it twice out of thin air, praising: "It's a saber that fits well!"

Gao Da received the praise, his face became radiant, and he happily gave Zhan Zhao a thumbs up: "True expert! There are hundreds of household items in my house, and the one in your hand has the highest price!"

Pan Pan disdains: Experts p!That knife is long and wide, and you can tell from its bulky appearance that it uses the most iron. If it is not expensive, who is more expensive?If he is an expert, we will become experts...

Zhan Zhao smiled and asked, "Master Gao, has your shop ever made iron nails?"

"No!" Gao Da shook his head resolutely, "We Gao Ji never pick up those little gadgets."

"It's not too small, it's about seven inches long." Pan Pan hurriedly took out a long nail from his pocket, and held it up to Gao Gao's eyes, "Here, this one, have you seen it?"

Gao Da took a closer look, rubbed it for a moment and said, "It's the first time I've seen it, what are you using for this long nail?"

Pan Pan rolled his eyes: why use it?kill with...

Gao Da became more and more puzzled, looked at Zhan Zhao once, then at Pan Pan, and said with a smile: "Do you want to order as usual? If you want fifty pieces, we are willing to take it."

Pan Pan made a hoarse voice, walked around in front of Zhan Zhao, patted him on the shoulder twice with a heartbroken look, and then pointed to Gundam behind him, beckoning him to communicate.

Zhan Zhao took a step forward and asked again: "Master Gao, you can see that the material of this long nail is unusual, and the forging process is exquisite. How many blacksmiths in Zhongmou County do you think can have such craftsmanship?"

Gao Da thought for a while, and replied: "Xiao Lu from Kaiyuan Bridge specializes in iron anvils and iron drills. Maybe he has this ability, and other families can't say it." Suddenly, as if remembering something, he shouted at the two. Said, "wait a while, I'll ask my second uncle, maybe he knows better." Then he turned and went into the inner room.

Pan Pan was impatient, jumped up from his chair, and yelled at Zhan Zhao: "Don't delay, hurry up and go to Kaiyuan Bridge! It's a long way to get there, it's late, and once they close, you won't be able to ask questions! "

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Zhan Zhao described himself as calm, and from time to time, he flicked his fingers lightly on the weapons placed around, and the sound of "clank" could be heard endlessly, so annoyed that she simply stood outside the door with her ears covered and her head in her head.

Not long after, Gao Da arrived with an old man with white beard and hair.When Pan and Zhan heard the movement, they rushed forward to salute.

"Old man, do you know the origin of this long nail?" Zhan Zhao pointed to the iron nail in the old man's hand and asked.

"I know, this nail was made by my second uncle." Gao Da interrupted.

Pan Zhan looked at each other in blank dismay, his four eyes met, all of them were pleasantly surprised.This is really nowhere to be found, and it takes no effort to get it.

"Master, when was this nail made? Who ordered it, do you remember?" Pan Pan asked anxiously.

The old man coughed twice, and said slowly: "This nail has been hammered for nearly ten years, and it was made by Lao Feng's family from the longevity shop in front."

"Ten years? What are you doing with such long iron nails on the coffin? Do you remember correctly?" Pan Pan felt terrified and blurted out.

"Boy, you can't trust the old man..." Second Uncle Gao's beard and hair were spread out, obviously irritated by her.

"No! No..." Pan Pan waved his hands again and again, and hid behind Zhan Zhao, also terrified.

"Old man, this nail is very important, can you explain it to this junior in detail." Zhan Zhao said sincerely.

Uncle Gaoda sat down and said: "I remember this incident clearly. Old Feng asked me to make long nails for him. I made a batch first. He thought it was not tough enough, so he brought broken nails and came here. Gao Ji was noisy. The old man was very angry. He couldn’t just smash Gao Ji’s signboard for no reason. For this reason, the old man made another batch specially, using good materials for making swords. This time, he sent it over. I haven't been talking again."

Zhan Zhaojun frowned slightly, and asked: "Old man, do you remember how many nails were forged in total? What are they used for?"

"There should be quite a few..."

"Second Uncle, you have to think about it again." Gao Da also helped to beat the side drum.

The old man bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed his nephew violently, making him confused: "Second Uncle, what are you pushing your nephew for?"

Second Uncle Gaoda excitedly said: "Boy, you and Gao Lin should learn from your second uncle's memory! You can still remember things after so long..."

Alas, that's how it is... Everyone sighed in the bottom of their hearts.

"Learn! Work out mechanics!" Gao Da nodded vigorously, "My good second uncle, don't be fooled, tell others quickly!"

"It should be thirty-five."

"Ah? So many!" Pan Pan poked his head out from behind Zhan Zhao, and was so frightened by the old man's stare that he quickly shrank back.

"A pair of seven pieces. At that time, Lao Feng ordered five sets, which was 35 pieces. As for what it was used for, the old man never asked in detail. What can he do as soon as he sells coffins? Most likely, he used them to nail coffin boards gone."

Such a long nail for a coffin board?We've seen Zhang Ren's house twice, and the iron nails are at most three inches long, right?Not even half of this... Pan Pan yelled that he couldn't figure it out, but in fact, none of the other three could figure it out...

"Master Gao, do you know where this old Feng is now?" Zhan Zhao asked again.

"That old thing has been dead for almost ten years." Uncle Gao replied with a curled lip.

"Ah? How did you die?" Pan Pan couldn't help but jumped out again.

"He's going to kill him, it's none of my business!" the old man said impatiently.

Zhan Zhao raised his sword and cupped his fists, and thanked loudly: "Master Gao, Boss Gao, thank you both for your help. My brother is young and doesn't know etiquette, and I hope you can bear with me when I speak abruptly."

Dare to take advantage of me... Pan Pan was furious and unable to attack, so he just stood aside and stared blankly.

Gao Da's uncle and nephew followed suit with a few polite words.The cloudy old eyes of Second Uncle Gundam flashed brightly, and the landing position was the Juque in Zhan Zhao's palm.

The old man respectfully said: "This high-ranking official, the sword in your hand...can you show me a little old man?"

"Why not?" Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and handed out the giant que.

The giant que is an artifact of the Spring and Autumn Period, made of bronze, the weight of the sword is not comparable to the fine steel swords of later generations, so the sound of unsheathing is deep and dull, "buzzing" endlessly, like a dragon chant.

Second Uncle Gao Da's hands holding the sword couldn't stop shaking, and even his goatee was raised up and down with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Little old man has forged swords and swords for most of his life, and today we can see this ancient sword. Artifact, it can be regarded as an eye-opener!"

Ancient artifact?That must be old and valuable!Speaking of which, the last time the sword was placed on our necks, it felt unusual... Pan Pan couldn't hold back his curiosity, and leaned forward again: "Master, what is the name of this sword?"

Before he could hear what old man Gao said, he was lifted out of thin air by a big hand, and after gliding a certain distance from the ground, he landed firmly on the open space outside the house.Someone's nasty voice came from next to my ear: "It's okay, my younger brother is always incoherent, just ignore him..."

Between pushing and shoving, Gao Ji came out.Following Zhan Zhao, Pan Pan was still dissatisfied.

"Why do you always pick people up?" He slapped Zhan Zhao's left shoulder.

"Why did you throw us like a sack?" Another blow aimed at the right shoulder.

"You...you still pretend to be my brother!" Pushing again, the wall in front of him stopped moving, and Pan Pan stopped angrily, "Why don't you leave?"

Zhan Zhao's handsome eyes are as bright as morning stars, and in a flash, a golden star is flying in front of someone's eyes.She quickly shifted her gaze down, and said to herself: Don't think that we will faint when you discharge the electric discharge!

"It's not too late to leave after you push enough." The handsome man stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a brisk tone.

Pan Pan was at a loss for words, but waved his hands helplessly: "Go to the coffin shop, go to the coffin shop..."

***

Laofengshou material shop is located in Shitouwei Middle Street, not far from Gaoji, and the tea time is here.The door of the shop is not wide open like the shops next to it, only a small door is exposed for people to come in and out.Seen from a distance, it looks like a dark hole, which makes people feel unspeakably oppressive.

Pan Pan held Zhan Zhao in front of the door, and asked in a low voice, "This coffin shop deals with dead people, what should we say when we two living people go in?"

Zhan Zhao blinked and said, "Isn't it enough to arrange one?"

"That's so taboo!" She looked around and looked around, and suddenly saw a white paper pasted on the door of the store, with black characters written "The old Fengshou material store is recruiting apprentices. Those who are interested can come in and talk about it..." Recruitment revelation?She regained her vigor, grabbed Zhan Zhao, and pointed it out to him.

"If you can inquire about the news and earn some money, it's worth it!" A certain person was gearing up, eager to try.

Zhan Zhao knew that she had committed an old problem again, and reminded, "I'm afraid it's not right to do this."

"What's wrong? Listen to me, it's right!" Pan Pan said impatiently, "Hurry up, find a piece of cloth to wrap your precious sword well, don't scare others."

Zhan Zhao didn't have a good idea for a while, and the dignified Nan Xia was actually at the mercy of a certain greedy panda.The two went to a secluded corner, dressed up a bit, and then turned back to the longevity shop.

This old Fengshoucai store really lives up to its name, with a wide variety of coffins.The huge shop was full of dozens of coffins, big ones, small ones, painted ones, carved ones...Looking around, I saw no one in the coffins, Pan Pan was puzzled, and suddenly heard a rhythmic "huhu" sound , followed to the source of the sound, it was a black lacquered coffin in the corner of the room.

"Hey, over there...do you hear that?" She tugged on the hem of Zhan Zhao's clothes and asked in a trembling voice.

Zhan Zhao nodded, and with a flash of his figure, he jumped near the coffin in a few steps.Seeing the situation clearly, he couldn't help laughing.It turned out that a young man was dozing off behind the cover of the coffin.

Seeing this guy shouting up and down, Pan Pan felt very annoyed, and was almost scared to death by you... He jumped up and patted him on the shoulder and shouted: "The boss is here!"

"Where, where..." The little boy raised his head with sleepy eyes, and happened to bump into the coffin board again, "Oh, Uncle Wu, please spare the little one!"

"Hey, wake up! Bump yourself, don't rely on others!" Pan Pan said dissatisfied.

At this moment, the young man came to his senses, he quickly stood up and said, "You two guests, are you here to buy birthday materials?"

Pan Pan waved his hand: "It says on the door that you are a recruiter?"

"Oh, you are here to make a living." The young man suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, I'll go find Uncle Wu."

Not long after, the guy just brought an old man in Ge clothes over.Pan Pan took a closer look, this Uncle Wu was about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, a well-proportioned physique, and seemed to be very healthy.

"This is Boss Wu?" She hurriedly pulled Zhan Zhao forward to salute.

"The two of you have lost sight. The old man is the manager here, like Qikou and the others, they all call me Uncle Wu." The old man replied, pointing to the boy who had just woken up.

"Well, Uncle Wu. My name is Xiong Pan. This is my elder brother Xiong Fei. I just saw the notice. We two brothers want to find a job here." Not long ago, he accused others of pretending to be a rare animal with his beard and eyes. At this time, Big Brother Big Brother shouted very affectionately.

Zhan Zhao didn't make a sound, just watched how she dealt with it.

Uncle Wu said bluntly: "We're just working hard, and the wages are not high. If you can endure hardships, it's okay to stay and try."

"It's okay, I can do it. My brother just reacts slowly, doesn't know how to speak, and has great strength." She never forgot to say a few words to avenge the loss of Gao Ji's knife shop.

"That's good, I will take you to the workshop first." Uncle Wu nodded.

"Thank you Uncle Wu."

Most of the time-honored brands in Shitouwei are shops in the front and workshops in the back. Through the screen corridor, the inner courtyard is the craftsman's workshop.The three of them walked together, Pan Pan approached Uncle Wu, and said, "Uncle Wu, have you been working in Laofeng shop for many years?"

"Yes, it's been over twenty years."

"I've heard people say that our store owner has changed one crop after another. You are always so depended on, you must be capable of doing things." Pan Pan flattered.

A few words of flattery made Uncle Wu very useful, and all the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he said with a little pride: "I dare not say that I am very capable. I usually pay more attention to the things in the store. Yes. The three employers before and after, none of them have treated me badly."

"Then who is the current owner of our shop?" She asked again.

"Also surnamed Feng, he is the nephew of the old boss. A few years ago, the young boss was busy taking the imperial examination and studying, so he didn't have time to take care of it, so he simply transferred the store to his brother."

While chatting, a young man with an anxious expression stabbed out from the side of his mouth, blocking the way of the three of them, seeing Uncle Wu, he hurriedly called out: "It's not good, Uncle Wu! It's not good!"

Hearing this, Uncle Wu got angry, stepped forward and slapped the boy on the head with a "slap", cursing: "Things that don't grow! You can't speak well, you are cursing me!"

The clerk knew he was in the wrong, so he slapped his mouth lightly, and said with a smile on his face: "Small mess, don't tell me. Go and have a look at the old nanmu house in the back. There are missing accessories, and I haven't found it for most of the time." .”

Wu Bo was anxious when he heard "Nanmu Old House", and immediately raised his voice a few times: "I'm going to die, you bastards, the birthday material was ordered by a senior official in the capital for his mother's birthday, and it will be sent tomorrow." Someone came to collect it. There was a mistake in the business of hundreds of taels of silver, and the owner will expose you carefully!" Ignoring the two people behind me, I waved my sleeves and shouted, "Go! Go!"

Pan and Zhan looked at each other a few times, then shook their sleeves and sighed: "Come and see..."
