Chapter 226, old things in the old city
"Hero, you can let it go." The little boy said to Meng Jingye with a bitter face.The little boy himself seemed to dislike Meng very much, and Jing Ye made a move to touch his head, but he didn't dare to refuse.Meng Jingye also smiled when she saw it.

Meng Jingye took off her weapon and handed it to the little boy. The little boy took out a roll of coarse cloth from the box under the bed, wrapped Meng Jingye's weapon two or three times, and put it in the hole.Then I put all the wooden boards and sundries back in place, and even moved the water tank back.

The little boy wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said to Meng Jingye: "Okay, hero, everything is in order!"

Meng Jingye nodded, took out a piece of silver, and threw it over.The little boy quickly caught it.Opening it up, the surprise on the little boy's face turned into sadness, because what he had in his hand was a silver coin.

"Hero, I...I can't find so much change!" said the little boy rather aggrieved.Where did a family like theirs get so much change?Can you find this ingot of silver?If there is, it is enough to buy some coarse rice to live on.That would move here.

"Just take it. If it's too much, it's my employment fee. When I get to the city, I still need you to take me around. After all, I haven't been back to Tan Longcheng for a long time, and the nearby things are not Very familiar. At that time, I hope you can show me the way and don’t let me get lost!" Meng Jingye looked at him with a smile. To be honest, Meng Jingye is very handsome, and he is even more charming when he smiles. It's easy to get the favor of others for being handsome and beautiful, especially if you have a smile like Meng Jingye's, it's even easier.

The little boy also smiled and said: "Okay, hero!" The little boy was also infected by Meng Jingye and became much more lively.The embarrassment just now has been left behind by him.

Meng Jingye, who did not have a weapon on her body, passed the inspection smoothly.Because of the flow of people, the inspection is not very strict. After all, if there is a body search or something, it will affect the passing speed too much. This will also have a great impact on the lives of people in the city. Generally, those who often travel to and from the town, For example, the vegetable farmers, Chai Fu, and the people who delivered Gong's things basically didn't check much.Because of the faces of these people.The people at the gate of the city have basically remembered the appearance of these people.

For foreigners who looked like warriors at first glance, inspections were a little stricter, especially those who wore looser robes.Because of this kind of clothes, it is easy to hide weapons, and other clothes are compact, so just check the belt casually and let them go.After all, this kind of clothes can't hide anything other than the belt that can hide the soft sword.

Meng Jingye walked on the familiar but unfamiliar street.On the ground, many places have not changed, but what has changed is the people here. I don't know if I don't remember these people, or the people here have changed.Could this feeling be the feeling of being close to home?Compared with Ping Nancheng, Tan Longcheng gave him the feeling.On the contrary, it is more like my hometown.After all, this is the city I came to for the first time.

Although it was said that the little boy was leading her, basically, Meng Jingye was walking by herself.There is no need for guidance from the little boy.

After a casual stroll, Meng Jingye returned to the blacksmith shop street in a daze not long after, but it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and many shops were closed. After all, it was in the blacksmith shop street.The big head is the forging of weapons, because the wear and tear of weapons is much faster than that of farm tools, kitchen knives and some ordinary household items.

Those blacksmith shops that specialize in making weapons for a living.I can't do it now.After all, weapons are not allowed to be brought into the city now, so how could they be brought out?Therefore, more businesses should be closed, because there are not so many other businesses for them to take over, and life has become a problem, so there is no need to continue to open.

Meng Jingye walked to the blacksmith shop that she originally purchased. The locks on it were already a little rusty, and most importantly, her key had been lost long ago.But that doesn't matter.Meng Jingye stretched out her hands, grabbed the door lock and pulled gently.The door lock broke and opened. "Creak." Meng Jingye opened the door, and a thick puff of dust came towards her.

Meng Jingye frowned.Fan the dust with your sleeve.But still let yourself choke a bit.The little boy next to him was even more choking.

At this time, a man emerged from the window next to him.It seemed that they heard voices from outside.

"Hey, I thought it was a business visit. It turned out to be your boy. What's the matter? After so long, where did you go for a while?" The man leaned on the window and said with a smile to Meng Jingye.

Meng Jingye turned around.Looking at the man, he didn't answer his words, but said with a smile: "So it's Uncle Wang, what's the matter? Are you not busy today?"

Uncle Wang is from the family next door to Meng Jingye. He is still a bachelor in his 40s, but he is good at playing iron. His skills are among the top in this street.So business has been very good.I have to be busy every day until very late before I can call it a day.

"Hey. Don't mention it. It's deserted now, and there are not many people who come to the door to blacksmith. This business is getting harder and harder!" Uncle Wang said, leaning half on the window sill, crossing his arms. "By the way, how long are you going to stay here this time? I'm afraid the blacksmith business won't last. You should always be ready to find another way of life!"

"Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern. I just came back to take a look. I don't plan to stay here any longer." Meng Jingye replied.

"That's good. You young people. You are still energetic and hard-working. The outside world is so big. You should go out and have a break! Hey, unlike us old bones, we don't have to go~ With that said, Uncle Wang disappeared from the window.Not long after, the "clinking" sound of iron strikes sounded again.

Meng Jingye didn't say anything more, she walked out of the house, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, and when she stepped down, it was just a footprint.Even the dust will be splashed a little bit, and everything in the forging room has been swallowed by the dust.There was also some rust on the iron stove.

Walking into the yard, the tree in the yard had its trunk eaten away by termites, fell to the ground, and swallowed up the well on the ground.Several branches have been inserted into the well.The water inside is probably too drinkable.

In his own house, the paper on the windows was torn, so he opened the door.There was a rotten smell in it.My futon and some clothes that I didn't take away are all moldy, and there are a lot of rice and mouse droppings on the ground, and there are even pieces of my clothes.These mice are really rampant!

kindness?It also had a rotten smell.What exactly is going on?

Meng Jingye sniffed it.According to the direction from which the rotten smell came.Found the place!This Meng Jingye saw such a situation, but she didn't know what to say!
