[Sword Three + Lu Xiaofeng] The Crane Returns to the Lonely Mountain

New year

Just now he said - "I believe you"?Ye Dange was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Gucheng's back foolishly, until he entered the room, closed the door, and completely disappeared from his sight, then suddenly woke up like a dream, couldn't help but He tilted his head and laughed softly—how can he be unhappy when he is trusted and affirmed by others?What's more, the person who said this was an arrogant and cold person like Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City...Ye Dange recited his name slowly in his heart, and felt a warmth slowly spread from his heart, and closed his eyes with a smile.

Nervousness, excitement, hesitation, anticipation... the mixed emotions and thoughts in my heart seemed to dissipate little by little with the cold and calm "I believe in you", the smile on Ye Dange's face gradually receded, and the His expression gradually became calm and calm, and even his breathing became more and more steady and long... After an unknown amount of time, the girl in the apricot-yellow dress suddenly opened her eyes, a brilliance flashed in her eyes, but she fell silent again in an instant.Ye Dange looked up at the moon, patted the hem of his dress, hugged the sword blank, and walked unhurriedly towards the sword casting room - walking steadily and calmly.

When the fire was lit and the furnace was turned on, the room immediately felt warm. The fire gradually changed from dark red to deep red. Ye Dange took a deep breath, put the sword blank into the furnace with iron tongs, and then But he didn't dare to blink anymore, and stared at the sword furnace for a moment—I don't know how long it took, his expression froze suddenly, he subconsciously held his breath for a moment, and the next moment his hand was like lightning, The red-hot sword blank was pinched out by the iron tongs in a blink of an eye, and it was completely submerged in the cold spring water!

The white mist evaporated in an instant, and the instantly cooled sword made a sharp "squeak--"—Ye Dange finally relaxed, and his breath that had stopped suddenly resumed in an instant, and he couldn't help it again and again. After coughing a few times, he quickly pressed his hand on his chest, panting heavily, his fair and delicate face was flushed red by the fire, but it was full of smiles——

Become!

Sudden cooling after high temperature will make the blade extremely hard, but it will also make it more brittle - too rigid is easy to break, that's the reason, so after quenching, there is another process that is essential ...Ye Dange held his chest and panted for a while, finally felt that his breath had calmed down, took another deep breath, took out the sword blank and dried it carefully, then extinguished the stove and lit it again, keeping it at At a slightly lower temperature, the sword was clamped again with iron tongs and put into the furnace...

……

The casting of the sword is coming to an end. After quenching and tempering, there is only the last step of "grinding". At the same time, this year is also coming to an end.

After Ye Dange locked himself in the sword-making room for nearly 20 days, the blades on the case had changed from dull and rough to flat and bright, and the ridges and grooves were all straight and standard, except for the blades that had not yet been sharpened. In addition, the whole sword seems to have begun to take shape——Ye Dange put down the sword and the millstone in his hand, sat up straight, stretched his arms, stretched his waist, then stood up, washed his hands, and pushed opened the door.

The weather was fine that day, and the sun shone on him with warmth in an instant. Ye Dange, who had been living indoors for a long time, frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes in discomfort. He raised his hand to cover his forehead, covering it slightly. After some sunshine, he saw Ye Gucheng who just came back from practicing sword practice, subconsciously smiled at him, and then suddenly stopped him as if he suddenly remembered something:

"City Lord."

Ye Gucheng stopped and turned to look at her.

Ye Dange finally got used to the sunshine at this moment, put down his hands, hesitantly on his face, but finally asked: "New Year's Eve will be three days away, the affairs in the city must be quite heavy, the city lord... will not return Is it Feixian Island?"

She doesn't really want to inquire about other people's affairs, but...whether Ye Gucheng will leave or not is related to how she will live this year, so she really has to ask.

Ye Gucheng didn't seem to care about this problem, but shook his head and said lightly: "It's okay, someone will handle it."

"So..." Ye Dange seemed very satisfied with the answer, blinking his eyes and laughing, "The casting is coming to an end, it's rare that I'm not celebrating the New Year alone this year. How about continuing?"

Is it rare that you don't celebrate the New Year alone this year?Ye Gucheng's expression flickered slightly, he looked down at Ye Dange who seemed to be very happy, and nodded.

Seeing him nodding, Ye Dange's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he stepped forward to stand beside him, looked up at him, and there was a little flattery in his eyes: "Then... ...City Lord, can I borrow Brother Ye for a use?"

Ye Gucheng's gaze paused, and his eyes darkened in an instant: "He has other things to do."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Dange felt that his voice suddenly became colder than usual. He couldn't help touching his arm, and lowered his head in disappointment, his voice was full of disappointment: "Oh... If that's the case, then don't bother him."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and planned to leave, but just after taking a step, he unexpectedly heard Ye Gucheng's voice from behind: "You are looking for him—what is the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to take advantage of the last few days to go out and buy some necessities for the New Year. I'm afraid I won't be able to carry too many things, so I want to ask Brother Ye for help." Ye Dange turned around and felt a little regretful when he saw Ye Gucheng's indifferent eyes Scratching his hair, he quickly laughed nonchalantly, "Since Brother Ye has something to do, let's forget it, at most... I'll run a few more times, it's nothing."

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, just looked at her so coldly——Ye Dange understood now that although Ye Gucheng was cold, his temper was still good, not as cold as the rumors in the world, and gradually She didn't care much about the coldness on his body, and looked up at him with a little doubt.

After a while, Ye Gucheng finally looked away, but turned around and walked towards the door: "Let's go."

"Ah?" Ye Dange was taken aback, scratched his head, looked at his back going further and further in confusion, and couldn't figure it out for a while.Ye Gucheng walked to the door, paused slightly, turned his head to look at Ye Dange who was still standing there stupidly, a smile flashed in his eyes, but his tone was still calm without fluctuation:

"Buy New Year."

This means... Ye Yuan is not here, so he went with her to help?Ye Dange blinked vigorously, stared at Ye Gucheng at the door for a few times, and finally confirmed that he was not hallucinating just now, imagining that the Lord Baiyun was carrying and holding large and small bags in his arms and arms. With the appearance of all kinds of New Year's goods, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, but finally trotted to his side, and saluted with a smile:

"Thank you, City Lord."

Ye Gucheng looked at the girl who suddenly smiled strangely for some reason, with a little bit of doubt in his eyes, but he still didn't say anything, turned around and left without saying a word.

Ye Dange looked at his back, shook his head and chuckled, then chased after him and walked side by side with him.

Ye Yuan, who had just come out of the room, looked at the two figures who disappeared at the gate, and touched his nose in a little daze.

……

The New Year's Eve is just around the corner, and many stores have closed their doors and are no longer doing business. Ye Dange went to several stores and finally bought almost all the things he wanted to buy. It is only now that Ye Gucheng finally knows why she must I need to find someone to accompany me to help——

The girl is quite strong, her hands are already full of various bags, but her steps are still very light and steady, but she is petite, and from a distance, it seems that the whole person is surrounded by various objects. It's so overwhelmed, it's very funny.At this moment, she was stopping in front of a candied fruit shop. The boss handed her a large bag full of the candied fruit she had chosen. The girl reached out to pick it up, but there were too many things in her hands and arms, so she just reached out. , the large roll of red paper in his arms was shaking and about to fall—Ye Dange immediately withdrew his hand to pick it up, and suddenly became flustered...

The corners of Ye Gucheng's mouth curled up slightly invisibly, and he stretched out his hand to pull out the large roll of paper from her arms, then stretched out his other hand, and took the candied fruit handed by the boss.

Ye Dange finally stabilized the things in his hands and arms, blushed a little embarrassedly, looked up at Ye Gucheng, the blush on his face met his faintly smiling eyes, all of a sudden Deeper, I habitually raised my hand to scratch my head, but paused when I saw the bag full of hands, and put my hand down in embarrassment, even the voice was lower than usual:

"I made the city lord laugh, thank you, the city lord."

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, just stretched out his hand, and took some things from her arms, and then finally turned around, with the same indifferent tone as before: "Let's go."

Ye Dange responded, smiled and followed.

Ye Dange has always been generous, courteous and has a good temper. Most of the shopkeepers in the nearby shops can chat with her. When passing by a rouge shop, the boss greeted her with a smile: "Miss Ye, I haven't seen you go out in the past six months... I'm going out of business soon, and there are some new products here, would you like to take a look? Although the girl is beautiful, she should also dress up for the New Year and have a good time. It's been a good year... huh? This young man looks at his eyes, it's—"

The boss looked at the man in white behind the girl, and couldn't help being slightly startled—the one who accompanied Ye Dange out to buy new year's goods during the Chinese New Year must be her family.Ye Dange is not yet married, so naturally he cannot be her husband; she has lived nearby for two years, and has never heard of her having a brother, but only a father who never sees anyone, could it be...

The shopkeeper looked at Ye Gucheng with a strange gaze, Ye Dange was a little puzzled at first, but after a while, he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of the appearance of the little girl in Zuixianju half a year ago, and couldn't help covering his mouth and lowering his head He gave a low laugh, a playful and funny flashed in his eyes, cleared his throat with a low cough, then turned his face and looked up at Ye Gucheng. The mischievous smile couldn't be concealed anyway:

"Daddy, can we buy a few boxes of rouge? I want it..."
