Chapter 839 Strange Place
Zhang Xu walked to a remote street again.

On this street, there are only four households and one shop.

All four households closed their doors.

Obviously, in such a snowy weather, most people go home early, eat a warm meal, and then go to bed.

Although the sky is gloomy, it is a deep blue-black color, which looks particularly far-reaching.

Zhang Xu looked at the shop.

The shop is a blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith is a dark-skinned middle-aged man.

Although it was snowing heavily, he was still naked, with his upper body bare, forging iron.

Zhang Xu took a look and knew that this shop, in addition to blacksmithing, also shoed horses, the business should be good.

It should be that the work was not finished, so I continued to do it.

It is estimated that it will be closed soon.

Zhang Xu walked in.

The blacksmith did not raise his head. The young man next to him raised his head and looked at Zhang Xu, "Can I help you?"

Zhang Xu didn't meander, "I came from another place. When I arrived in your town in the afternoon, I found that there is no hotel in your town."

The young man smiled, "There are very few hotels in the first place, and most small towns don't have hotels. Even in big cities, there are not many hotels. Only places like the imperial capital have good hotels."

Zhang Xu frowned.

Such a situation shows that people in this country seldom leave home and rarely go to other places.

That is, people live where they live,

Zhang Xu said, "Then, can I stay at your place for one night? I will pay for it."

The young man frowned, "Money is secondary, but you are unknown, so we can't take you in."

Zhang Xu thought for a while, "I come from the mountains, and I belong to the Bai clan. There are some things to do when I go to a big city."

The young man nodded.

Zhang Xu also had an idea and said such words.

The Bai family is a minority in the nearby mountains.

Although I don't have much contact with the residents at the bottom of the mountain, I can still be regarded as the people of this country.

Therefore, the residents at the foot of the mountain rarely reject the Bai clan.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xu let go of his spirit to investigate the residents of the small town. He accidentally heard someone talking about the Bai clan, so he wrote it down.

Sure enough, it is now used.

The young man said, "Well, there just happens to be another room vacant."

At this moment, the blacksmith also finished forging, "Xiao Qi, tidy up, turn off the fire, and prepare to eat."

"Yes, father." The young man said, and began to pack up.

The blacksmith looked at Zhang Xu, "My name is Tie Fei, and this is my son Tie Qi. Welcome to my house."

As he said that, the blacksmith looked at Zhang Xu with a probing look.

Zhang Xu knew that the blacksmith was old and experienced after all, so he even doubted the identity of the Bai clan he said.

Zhang Xu secretly sighed inwardly.

This world is so monotonous. Although the people here rarely leave their homes, they are very defensive.In particular, he is very defensive towards strangers.

Against the blacksmith's precautions, Zhang Xu really had the idea of ​​turning around and leaving here.

However, he held back.

Blacksmith Tie Fei and Tie Qie finished cleaning up the shop, closed the door, and led Zhang Xu to the backyard.

In the backyard, Tie Fei and Tie Qie started cooking.

It is to heat up the noon dishes, then toast the bread, and then serve it.

Zhang Xu didn't know what to say, so he ate in silence.

Tie Qi, Tie Fei didn't speak.

After eating almost, he spoke again, "Father, are you really going to the imperial capital? I heard that those who went to the imperial capital have not returned for decades."

Tie Fei said, "If you don't go, you have to go. Our town has ordered five people to go. The church reported it. If we don't go, we won't be able to stay in the town. And, I heard that we can earn a lot of gold coins there. "

Zhang Xu suddenly woke up.

The people of this country, or rather the continent, seldom leave their homes.Something actually caused the church to send people to the imperial capital. I don't know if it has something to do with the construction of the observatory.

Tie Qi wanted to ask something, but Tie Fei stopped him with his eyes.

The three of them ate food in silence again.

After eating, Tie Qie took Zhang Xu into a house.

The house is not big, but it is relatively warm, and there are all kinds of bedding.

Tie Qi said, "You can live here."

Zhang Xu nodded, "Thank you."

Tieqi didn't say anything more, went out and closed the door.

Tie Qie walked into Tie Fei's room, "Father, why are you not allowed to say those things at the dinner table?"

Tie Fei spoke, "Don't you think this person's origin is suspicious? He just appeared in our town like this. The pastor has always said in recent years, pay attention to people with suspicious origins."

"Also, people of the Bai clan usually wear coarse robes, but he is wearing such weird clothes. This person doesn't look like a member of the Bai clan either."

Tie Qie froze for a moment, "Then I will drive him away."

Tie Fei shook his head, "Forget it, if he's not too troublesome and leaves tomorrow, there won't be anything left."

Tieqie continued, "Father, are you really going to the imperial capital? Why do I think it's dangerous?"

Tie Fei shook his head, "There is no other way, I have to go. Anyway, you can show off your craftsmanship. I go, you can decide on this shop. Also, I don't know how long it will take to come back. In the past few years , if there is a suitable girl, you can get married."

"You know the money at home and where it is hidden. You can use that money when you get married. Some people only come back in ten years. I guess it will be good if I come back in ten years."

Tie Qie nodded, "Father, I understand."

Tie Fei nodded, "Okay, go to sleep. Tomorrow, I'm leaving."

Tie Qie went back to his room.

Not long after, Zhang Xu heard snoring.

Tie Fei tossed and turned, and fell asleep at dawn.

The next morning, Zhang Xu got up.

Tie Fei and Tie Qie also got up.

Tie Fei made hot soup, bread, and some barbecue for breakfast.

Zhang Xu had breakfast, left a piece of gold, and was about to leave.

Tie Qi, Tie Fei and his son did not persuade him to stay.

Tie Qi, on the other hand, saw the piece of gold, his eyes flickered.

Zhang Xu went to church again.

roam the streets.Finally, I found a small bar in a place where the horns were pulled.

Zhang Xu went in.

After ordering the most expensive wine, he opened his eyes and enveloped the whole town.

Especially focus on churches.

The middle-aged pastor also got up. In the yard, watching the prospective pastor clean the yard, he seemed to recall his youth.

This middle-aged pastor is called Martin Dahao.

He was an abandoned orphan who was taken in and brought up by the bishop of the church.

I have lived in the church since I was a child.

The feelings for the church are also the purest and sincere.

At this time, five people, including blacksmith Tie Fei, entered the church.

Martin received them.

Soon, a knight came over, "Pastor Martin, the carriage is ready and we can go on the road at any time."
