Yigoudai is walking on the quaint streets. The houses here are really similar to those in TV dramas. A pair of small stone lions will be placed in front of the rich people’s houses, and the poor people’s houses will have shorter steps. People work at sunrise As the sun sets and rests, there are few places with lights on except for the Solitude, and Yi Goudai remembers that when she looked at the distance from the window sill, she saw several places with lights, one of which was particularly conspicuous.

Not far away came the sound of iron knocking, and Yi Goudai was very happy. Sure enough, there was still someone awake nearby. After searching for the sound, he found this place, and saw an old man with his arms exposed, beating with a hammer beside a stove. A piece of iron, the bright spot I saw before is probably here. The fire in the stove is particularly strong. After beating for a while, the old man stretches the patch into the stove to burn. The burnt red patch becomes somewhat transparent. The old man put it on the iron plate and began to beat it again and again, until the original thick patch was flattened into a dagger about fifteen centimeters long.

Yi Goudai found it strange that this was the place where commoners made ironware in ancient times. She never expected to see it here. As a science student, she was very interested in these hands-on things since she was a child. Here she saw a dagger The production process is even more eye-catching.

He stepped forward and asked, "Old man, why didn't you go back so late?"

The old man turned around and looked at the person who came. He was a tall and thin young man with handsome and gentle eyes. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his temperament was obviously not that of a child from a small family. What are you doing wandering on the street so late? But his kind face doesn't look like a bad guy, the old man replied very kindly: "Recently there are a lot of thieves in Chang'an, and the common people are worried, so come to my blacksmith shop to find some self-defense weapons. No, I'll be working day and night." Send it to someone early." After finishing speaking, the old man took out a piece of pig iron from the wooden shelf next to him.

"Then, old man, why don't you recruit a few more people to forge together, so that it will be faster." Yi Goudai felt sorry for the old man who was still forging alone at night.

In the dead of night, the old man has been working here alone for a long time. Suddenly, a handsome young man is willing to talk to him, and the old man's words are suddenly opened, "You heard that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty is going to move Have you returned to Chang'an City?"

Yi Goudai nodded, "I heard."

"That's right, now Chang'an City is in power and wealth, and most of them are wealthy families. How can anyone be willing to come to me, an old man, to do this blacksmithing work?"

Yi Goudao understands that Chang'an is too prosperous and people's economic capacity has been greatly improved, so they don't want to find these hard-working jobs that don't make much money. In fact, this is the same in the 21st century. For example, in some well-developed cities, some of its factories are slowly moving to other areas, and the vacated land is used to develop the economy. The same is true for countries. There are countless foundries in various countries. Factories that occupy a large area and require a large population and are not environmentally friendly are established in other countries. Developed places do not need these things, just like people in Chang'an City do not need to learn to forge iron to support their families.

"Old man, can you look at me? I want to learn blacksmithing from you."

"What?" The old man looked sideways at Yi Goudai.

"I said I want to learn blacksmithing from you." Yi Goudai said again, she was not joking.

"Son, go home quickly, don't make the old man happy." The old man laughed a few times in a rough voice, expressing his disdain. It would be nice for this thin child to be able to stand and chat. .

"Old man, I didn't tease you. I really want to learn from you. My name is Yi Goudai. I'm easy and meticulous. I wait for you." Yi Goudai knew what time it was, and also knew about Bai Juyi's life. I haven't been born yet, so I changed it to an easy-to-understand way of speaking when introducing myself to others.

Yi Goudai's eyes reflected the red flames in the stove, shining brightly, the old man put down the things in his hands and walked to Yi Goudai, still not sure if he was right, he asked: "Are you serious?"

"Seriously." Yi Gou waited for an extra nod.

The old man said with a serious face: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, this job is very hard."

"I know." Yi Goudai felt that the matter should be settled, and there was a slight smile on his lips.

"En." The old man let out a long answer from his throat, and waved to Yi Goudai, "You can't dress like this. The clothes are too white, they get dirty easily, and they get hot if you wear too much."

"I'll change it tomorrow." Yi Goudai followed the old man first while thinking about how to get a set of dark clothes.

"Well, today you can watch how I forge iron, and learn. If I don't learn well, I will scold people. Don't blame me for being too cruel." The old man took a piece of pig iron with tongs and threw it into the stove, repeating. Yi Goudai had watched the action before.

Halfway through the hour of the day, the old man packed up the stall and went home, Yi Gou waited to come back tomorrow, and the two separated at an intersection.From the later conversations, I learned that the old man’s name was Lu Yizhu, who was a blacksmith for generations, and this shop was also inherited from his father. He had a wife, a child and a daughter in his family, because his blacksmith shop was the only one in Chang’an City that had a good business and a good life. It's been nourishing, even if the son has no great prospects, he only goes to see the girl in the lonely courtyard a few streets away all day long, which also makes him worry, but the daughter is still sensible.

Yi Goudai walked in the direction of the Solitary Courtyard. The door was not closed yet, and she was about to climb into Mu Qin's room through the window. She was really hungry after not eating all night.

In the dark city of Chang'an, Duguyuan is like a bright moon hanging in the night sky. It is the only brightly lit place within a hundred miles, but it is also like the surface of the moon. It looks beautiful from a distance, but you can only click tsk tsk when you look closely. Seeing that there will be a lonely house two streets away, Yi Goudai heard the sound of a girl crying from the next street. Could it be that some traffickers have arrested the little girl? Will let the scum corrupt the ancient Chinese society, and can't help but rush to the next street a lot faster.

Because she didn't have a lamp to illuminate, and then the high flames of the lonely courtyard saw the scene she imagined, a man was dragging a girl forcibly, Yi Goudai stepped forward and shouted to stop, "What are you doing?" What?"

The man was startled by the sudden voice behind him, and he turned around with one hand leading the little girl's neckline. He saw a brawny boy who looked like a woman, and the momentary panic turned into arrogance and domineering. Pointing at Yi Goudai with his free hand, he said, "Where did you come from, a boy with a white face, how dare you meddle in your uncle's affairs."

Yi Goudai looked at the dark and ugly man who was half a head shorter than himself but twice as tall as his own, baring his teeth and grinning, "Put this child down for me." The little girl who had been crying was small, about 1.5 meters tall. The clothes he was wearing were also tattered, his hair was long and dirty, and the white skin on his face could not be seen. Looking at him pitifully with tears in his eyes, Yi Goudai's heart softened all of a sudden.

"Hey." The man threw the little girl on the ground heavily and walked towards Yi Goudai, "It seems that I'm going to teach you how to be a man today!"

Yi Goudai let out a bark from his mouth, the scumbags simply don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and easily caught the man's punch, Yi Goudai quickly twisted his arm and put his foot on his buttocks, turning his arm backwards Suppressed on his back, and then heard the man howling like a pig begging for mercy.

"The hero spares his life! The hero spares his life!"

Yi Goudai is a law-abiding person, and when she heard a man begging for mercy, she didn't intend to fuss about it, and she didn't even bother how to hand this man over to the yamen, and it was too troublesome at night, so she made up for him again Cursed: "Beast! Don't let me see you again."

The man scrambled and slipped away from Yi Goudai and disappeared. He squatted down and Yi Goudai looked at the timid and trembling little girl and asked, "What's your name? Where is your home?"

The little girl could see the whites of her big eyes all over her face. She clasped her hands together and clasped her fingers. She stared at Yi Gou for a while before she said, "I don't have a name, and I don't have a home." Tears began to flow from eyes that had regained their composure.

Yi Goudai couldn't bear to look at it, so he took her dirty hand and asked, "How old are you?"

"15 years old." The child blinked his eyes and stopped moving his fingers in Yi Goudai's palm.

"Where do you live?"

The little girl pointed to the gate of a nearby house with her finger that was idly buttoning the corner of her clothes. There was a tattered straw mat, and beside it was a porcelain bowl that had not been washed for an unknown period of time.

As soon as Yi Goudai saw this place, she decided that she would take this child away. A child without a mother is like a grass. It is too pitiful for this child to not even have a place to live. He took the little girl's hand and asked, "Would you like me?" Can you go? I'll take care of you."

The child's eyes are bright, she is already 15 years old but she is like other people's ten-year-old children, Yi Goudai took her by the hand and led her back to the orphanage, it was only when she was about to approach the door that she realized that she herself It's embarrassing to have no place to live, Yi Goudai patted himself on the head hard, and the little girl looked at her curiously with bright golden eyes.

It seems that you can't climb the window and can only enter from the main entrance.

Yi Goudai took the little girl into the Solitary Courtyard, and was stopped by the bustard inside after only two steps. Yi Goudai explained that she was looking for Mu Qin, but the bustard said it was fine to find Mu Qin, but the little beggar could not be brought in. , Seeing how the handsome and handsome young man in the clothes wore such a dirty thing, the child understood what the old bustard said, and was so frightened that he hid behind Yi Goudai's back and buried his head, no one dared to look at it.

Yi Goudai patiently told the bustard that she knew Mu Qin and let her in, but the bustard was indifferent and even prepared to call someone to chase her away.

The third watch is the time when Qingzhi finishes ordering the things in the courtyard and prepares to go upstairs to rest. It should be closing time soon, why do you hear the old bustard yelling and scolding?Move over and have a look.

No matter how Yi Goudai explained that the bustard wouldn't let her in, she said that when she saw the vicious woman behind the bustard when her mouth was dry, she was almost desperate and couldn't care whether the person was Mu Qin, as long as it was her As long as you know her, she pointed at the vicious woman and said to the old bustard, "Look! She knows me! Can you let me in?"

The old bustard turned her head and saw that she was quite frightened, and called out respectfully: "Your Lord." The noisy voice disappeared, and she stood quietly at the side.

Yi Goudai hurriedly stepped forward two steps, habitually trying to grab the other's arm, but the other party dodged it, and withdrew his hand embarrassingly and asked, "Can you ask her to let me in?"

Staring at Yi Gou with light and clear eyes for a while, he slowly refused, "No."

The clothes on this man are clearly the man's clothes that I saw in Mu Qin's hands today, and it is especially suitable to wear on this man. After washing away the mess from last night, this will still look pleasing to the eye. She has the demeanor of a refined man, but what's up with another mess who has been hiding behind her?I kicked down my own door today, so forget it?Seeing that I was about to escape far away, why did I come back now!

The bustard who was standing at the side retreated silently, and Yi Goudai knew that this vicious woman had the final say here, and since everyone disagreed, then everything cannot be forced, she doesn't like to do things that are difficult for others, she seems to feel regretful Said: "Understood, thank you." Turning to the young girl, she said: "Girl, let's go find another place."

The little girl nodded obediently, and looked up at Yi Goudai with a bit of sympathy in her eyes. It turned out that this person had no place to live just like herself.

Qingzhi looked at the two people, one tall, one short, one white and one black, turned around and left, why did she feel as if she had done something wrong, she was very upset, and shouted angrily: "Wait!"
