my weird life.

Chapter 275 Xiongxiu Town (12)

Li Yueshan chatted with the village elder for a few words,

After inquiring about some anecdotes and strange things nearby, and learning that this place is relatively peaceful and there are no strange things happening,

He said to the village elder: "The old man just opened a temple for Qingshi Nianzi Village, more than 20 miles away.

There is already a gods protection there.

Your Siniu Village has a small population, so you might as well discuss it with Qingshi Nianzi Village. If the two villages are put together, they will both be protected by the temple gods. "

"This... Can the people of Qingshi Nianzi Village agree?" The village elder was quite moved when he heard the words.

"What are they unwilling to do?
In the current situation, the more people you can gather, the more you can keep your property and life in troubled times. "Li Yueshan said.

In this way, the two old men talked again,
The village elder bid farewell to Li Yueshan with his heart in mind.

When the two of them talked,
Zhu'er and Qingmiao took brooms, feather dusters and other things to clean the cobwebs everywhere in the dilapidated house and the dust on the kang.

Su Wu emptied out the ashes accumulated in the eyes of the earth kang,

Discovering that the half-collapsed earthen stove under the kang can still be used,
So he and Gousheng went outside to chop some firewood and came back to heat up the kang.

At this time, the mute girl Xiuxiu was leaning halfway in a dark corner, her head falling asleep bit by bit—she was still a seven or eight-year-old child after all, and she always fell asleep more often than young people, especially It is the case that I have done so many things today.

The earth kang is quite spacious, and the Yinximai stove team sleeps horizontally on it, which is somewhat crowded.

But in this weather, it's warm even if you squeeze.

The two girls hung a piece of rag on the kang,
The two of them first carried Xiuxiu into the warm earthen kang, covered her with a quilt, and let her rest first.

Li Yueshan checked all the luggage brought into the house,
Drag the wooden box containing the weapons over.

"All come, all come. Let Xiuxiu sleep first."

He greeted his disciples.

The few disciples who finally tidied up the dilapidated house decently gathered here after hearing the words.

Master opened the wooden box,

A piece of gleaming weapons in the wooden box appeared.

When Gou Sheng among the disciples saw those weapons, his eyes lit up immediately.

young man,
There is always some hope for dancing knives and guns.

in the wooden box,
Surrounded by some straw, the five triangular cone-shaped gun heads are shining brightly,
Below are some swords,
And a pair of crescent blades, convenient shovel heads, which can be connected to both ends of tough wooden sticks.

Master picked up a gun and weighed it.
Seeing the peculiar shape of the gun head, he murmured, "This gun is ruthless, it will leave a hole in it - when did Blacksmith Zhu become so skilled?
Can even make such a weapon that requires precision forging? "

He talks to himself,
Su Wu and Li Zhu'er watched their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and didn't talk to each other.

This matter makes the master think that Zhu Tiejiang's skills have improved,
If you tell him that these weapons were all forged by Su Wu,
That's even harder to explain.

put down the gun

Li Yueshan fiddled with three sheathed goose feather sabers from under the straw,

The handle and scabbard look very ordinary,
But draw the scabbard,
Seeing the intricate and dense patterns on the blade, Li Yueshan gasped in surprise, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to Su Wu and Li Zhuer: "Is this really a weapon that went to Blacksmith Zhu in Zhujiazhuang?"

"Yes." Su Wu nodded in response.

"Not like, not like...

Did the blacksmith hire someone else? "Master asked again.

"It was made by Blacksmith Zhu himself.

I didn't see him invite anyone, we all saw it with our own eyes. "Li Zhu'er pretended to be nervous and asked, "Is this weapon not good at fighting?"Any questions?master. "

"Good job.

The problem is that I also know Blacksmith Zhu's ability. He should not be able to shoot such a good weapon. "

Li Yueshan frowned and muttered a few words,

There's no result in entanglement like this.
He shook his head and said, "No matter!

Maybe blacksmith Zhu really got the advice of an expert and made a lot of progress?
It was impossible to go back and ask him now.

Here are three goose feather knives,

——This knife is long and light, and it is perfect for those with weak strength.

Therefore, these three Yanling sabers,

Was it built for Zhu Er, Qing Miao, and Gou Sheng? "

The fat old man took the three Yanling sabers out of the wooden box and asked Su Wu.

"Yes."

Su Wu said: "Tiejiang Zhu said that for those with weaker strength, it is more suitable to use this kind of weapon."

"Yes, yes." Li Yueshan nodded, and said to Zhu'er and the other three, "Then you three come here, and each of you can choose a knife."

The three each responded.

Zhu Er chose the one recast by Su Wu before,
The weapons chosen by the remaining two,

There is no difference in shape, and it doesn't matter which one you choose.

"This knife is much thicker than the Yanling Sword.
big apprentice,
Are you ready to wield this knife yourself? "Li Yueshan picked up the goose-wing knife in the wooden box and asked aloud.

In fact, these ordinary weapons,
It doesn't mean much to Su Wu.

Even the magic knives and swords in the hidden area may not be able to promote Su Wu's attack methods in the slightest.

But now in the eyes of the master,
He was still a young man with only a few strands of salary,
It is also necessary to use a weapon as a cover.

So he nodded and said: "I like this knife very much, it can cut down the enemy."

"Then I will give you this knife."

Li Yueshan handed the dark red Yanling Saber to Su Wu,

He also distributed spear heads to his disciples,

Let them each take the tough wooden poles sent by the blacksmith and put gun heads on them, and several long guns appeared in the hands of everyone.

He left a small dagger to Xiuxiu who was still asleep,

Pick up the crescent blade and shovel by yourself, and install it with the thickest wooden pole,

I danced twice,

Tsk tut in his mouth and said: "This crescent moon is convenient for shoveling, it seems that it is prepared for the old man?

It's easy to use. "

Put the crescent moon on the corner of the wall with a shovel,

The master looked at a few disciples who were playing with weapons, and said with a smile: "Since you have weapons, it seems that you will have to invite a teacher to teach you some fighting skills in the future.

Now you guys figure out how to use it yourself,

Maybe you can figure out something? "

……

The Yinximaizao team stayed in Siniu Village for more than three hours.

The disciples took turns to stay up all night,
Also had a peaceful night.

When the sky is getting dark,
Red lanterns were hung on the front of the two platoon vehicles of the stove team. After loading all kinds of luggage, the wheels rolled over the ruts on the small road, and slowly left the village to Xiongxiu Town, more than 20 miles away.

Everyone had a good rest last night.

Waking up early in the morning, the class leader said he would invite them to go to Xiongxiu Town to drink mutton soup,
They were encouraged and their speed increased a lot.

It took just over an hour,

We arrived at Xiongxiu Town.

The market in Xiongxiu Town is indeed a large market within a radius of one hundred miles.
As soon as they arrived in the town, the stove team saw restaurants and wine shops everywhere on both sides of the street, and the wine banners swayed in the wind.

The butchers wore leather aprons,
On a row of iron racks in front of him, there are pieces of fresh and steaming pork hanging,
In the wooden barrel next to the iron frame, several sets of pig internal organs were immersed in the bloody water, giving off a stench.

on the street,
The crowd was shoulder to shoulder.

The peddler held up a grass target selling candied haws. The bright red candied haws were stuck on the grass target. Under the dim light, people could feel their mouth salivating just by looking at it, and couldn’t help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"Candied haws, candied haws~"

"Fried fish, fried big fish~"

“Wonton buns…”

The streets are full of vendors shouting with various accents,

These voices even overwhelmed the noise of the crowd.

Li Yueshan stopped the hawker selling candied haws,
He took out dozens of dollars, bought five bunches of candied haws, and distributed them to his disciples: "Just try it today, you can't afford it if you eat it every day."

The fat old man laughed and lit the pipe pot, spouting a puff of smoke from time to time,
Scanning the shops on both sides of the street,
Suddenly pointing to a shop on the right, said: "Let's go! Let's eat mutton soup there!

Pay attention to our things, don't let someone steal them! "

The disciples who bowed their heads and ate candied haws responded one after another,

Zhu'er carried Xiuxiu into the cart - in this kind of market, thieves don't just steal money, little girls like Xiuxiu's age, they will also steal!
With a handful of strength,

The Zao team forced their way out of the crowd,

Walked over to the mutton soup restaurant.

On this crowded street,
Except for soldiers who ride horses and carry knives, vendors who pull night incense, and morticians who drive corpses through the city, no matter who comes, if you want the crowd to avoid you and make a way out, it will be very difficult. Disaster!
"How much is a bowl of mutton soup?"

After arranging the seats and putting away the luggage, Li Yueshan summoned the clerk in the shop—it must be the shopkeeper's son, and asked him aloud.

"Haggis soup costs 25 yuan, and mutton soup costs [-] yuan." The man replied.

"Where are the biscuits?"

"Three pennies a piece."

"Give each of us a bowl of mutton soup,
Serve another ten biscuits.

Also... put a catty of rice wine in this jug for me.How much is the cheapest rice wine? "

"Two money, one tael."

"Okay, a catty."

Li Yueshan took out a big eight-treasure gourd that was woven into a net bag with thin rattan and wrapped around the base, and handed it to the waiter.

Then he reached into his bosom and counted out 150 copper coins,

on the tray,
Said: "150 Wen,

Give the old man the rest of the odds. "

"okay!"

The buddy responded with a smile,

After going to a half-person-high masonry counter,
He went to help his father serve mutton soup.

There is a large pot built behind the counter,

The pot is stewed with sheep's head, sheep's hooves, sheep's bones, etc.

The mutton soup is scooped from this pot,

Then add haggis and other things.

After a while

The man brought several bowls of mutton soup and a stack of sesame seed cakes to the table.

Even Xiuxiu was given a large bowl of hot and fragrant mutton soup.

Although she is young,
But there are not many pieces of haggis in the mutton soup, mostly soup,
A bowl of soup is enough to drink.

"Eat faster,

After dinner later, let's go to the livestock market in the east to pick out mules and horses. " Li Yueshan ordered a few words, took a wine gourd and poured a glass of wine, drank half of the glass with a 'zi' sound,

Then soak the biscuits in a bowl,

Added some seasoning,
Snoring and eating.

All the disciples also buried their heads and devoured it.
