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

Three meals

Although he drank alcohol the night before, Ye Dange woke up early the next morning habitually, rubbed his head that was finally fully awake, recalled what happened last night, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly Tone - she has always been drinking well, and she was sober from the beginning to the end of last night without getting drunk, but it is always sad to be alone in Mid-Autumn Festival, and somehow she started talking too much after drinking.Fortunately, Ye Gucheng is not a troublesome person, and what he said last night is not a big secret, so let’s just say it...

But having said that, Ye Gucheng is unexpectedly...a very gentle person...Ye Dange shook his head with a smile, got up and got out of bed.

After washing the dishes and food boxes from last night, they took them to the opposite inn and returned them to Ye Yuan. Ye Dange came back, changed his clothes, combed his hair, and returned to the sword stove again.

The ordinary forging has been completed, but the entire forging part has not been completed, and the next step is the more laborious and time-consuming folding forging.

The fire had turned from orange red to pure orange, and the temperature inside the room was even higher. Ye Dange hadn't moved much yet, fine beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead.The girl wiped her forehead with her sleeve nonchalantly, then put the burnt strip into the furnace just now, and took it out after it was softened by the high temperature, and the light sword in her hand "clanked" With the sound of unsheathing, almost at the same time, a sharp sword glow slashed across, and a horizontal cut was instantly made on the soft steel bar—her pair of light and heavy swords belonged to her master, Dazhuang of Hidden Sword Villa. The master Ye Ying personally cast it for her. Considering the needs of casting swords, all of them have undergone special treatment, so they are not afraid of high temperature.

The incision was made, Ye Dange didn't dare to hesitate to waste any more time, put the sword back into the sheath the next moment, then swung the hammer and hammered it down repeatedly, folding the entire steel bar in half along the horizontal incision, and then again Put it in the furnace and boil until soft, and after taking it out, it is a new round of continuous beating...

Folding and forging can be said to be the most time-consuming item in the entire casting process. Every time folding, it must go through countless times of beating to make the folded two layers of steel stick tightly together, and there is no longer any gap.Folding like this usually takes a total of fifteen times—that is to say, after the folding and forging are completed, the final steel will be layered on top of each other, and there will be as many as 3 layers in total. In the end, a layer of special and strange patterns will be formed on the body of the sword. This kind of pattern called "steel flower" is closely related to the material of the sword and the technique of the swordsmith. It can be said that every pattern is the world. It is unique in the world, and it is also the unique mark of almost every famous sword. Famous swords such as Yuchang and Tai'a are also named after the shape of steel flowers.

Each type of iron ore has slightly different characteristics. This is the first time Ye Dange has encountered overseas cold iron. Based on his understanding of the previous month, he made a rough estimate. If he wants to complete the entire folding and forging process, at least It will also take a full three months - this is already because of her good martial arts and internal strength, if it is an ordinary swordsmith with no internal strength, it will take half a year to say the least.

He hammered non-stop for a whole morning, but the progress was minimal. Ye Dange was not in a hurry, put down the hammer, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and opened the door to go to lunch.

The sun was in the middle of the sky, and the scorching sunlight was a little dazzling. Ye Dange quickened his pace and entered the kitchen. He was about to find something to fill his stomach like the previous month, but suddenly saw on the stove that he had just washed it this morning. The food box that was returned.

Ye Dange froze for a moment, scratched his hair in some doubts, and finally opened the lid of the food box - a familiar and alluring scent came out of the food box immediately, this smell was so familiar to Ye Dan Song didn't even need to look at it to know that the food in the box must be from Zuixianju.

The girl blinked her eyes, and touched her stomach involuntarily - the whole morning's physical labor had consumed all her breakfast, and now she could even hear her stomach growling happily, but... Ye Dan Ge swallowed, but still reluctantly forced himself to look away from the food and looked around.

——Things that appeared in my kitchen inexplicably, no matter how tempting they are, they can’t be eaten casually!

Ye Dange soon found what he was looking for - there seemed to be a note pressed under the food box.Ye Dange tilted his head in doubt, took out the note and unfolded it——

"Ye Yuan will bring the three meals."

The handwriting on the paper is sharp and sharp. Although Ye Dange has never seen such handwriting, but judging from the tone, it should be Ye Gucheng without a doubt, but the handwriting is really like the person——Ye Dange A little surprised, he stood there in a daze for a while, and then laughed all of a sudden.

——Ye Gucheng is sometimes a very gentle person...

Since it was delivered by Ye Yuan, there would naturally be no problem with the food. Ye Dange was full of surprise and gratitude, without being pretentious at all. He took the food out of the food box and placed them on the table one by one. The man sat down quietly and began to eat lunch, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face full of satisfaction.

After eating and washing the tableware, Ye Dange was about to return the things to the inn opposite and thank them both, but just walked to the door, but suddenly stopped as if he suddenly realized something He stepped back, touched his slightly messy hair, looked down at his clothes specially worn for making swords and the sweat all over his body, and finally hesitated - how do you go out with this appearance?

How about taking a shower and changing clothes before going?But when will it last... The girl was frowning and hesitating, but suddenly her expression froze, and the distressed expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by sharp and vigilant eyes. It also seemed to freeze in an instant, and an invisible sword energy gradually spread vertically and horizontally in the courtyard.Ye Dange raised his head, looking straight at the roof——

A black shadow jumped in from outside the wall.

But Ye Dange breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the black shadow, all the sharpness in his eyes receded, and he smiled at him with raised eyebrows.

Ye Yuan stood still, looking at the smiling girl opposite, obviously her current image can be called terrible, but for some reason he suddenly remembered how she was smiling under the moonlight last night, and became embarrassed again , coughed in a low voice, walked up to her, bowed slightly and saluted:

"I didn't intend to enter without warning, but I was afraid of disturbing the girl's sword casting, so please forgive me."

"It's okay," Ye Dange shook her head and had a satisfying lunch. Now she just felt a burst of ironing all over her body, and even her footsteps and tone were a little brisk, and she bowed to Ye Yuan. , "The city lord and brother Ye are interested, thank you two, it really relieved my urgent need. Speaking of it... even eating vegetables and radishes for a month is quite painful!"

While speaking, the girl blinked her eyes and scratched her hair, as if she was a little embarrassed because her favorite food was discovered.

Ye Yuan coughed lowly, pretending he didn't see it, lowered his eyelids, and kept his eyes fixed: "Young lady is devoted to making swords, so she must have no time to worry about food and drink. The city lord... felt very sorry, so he ordered me to bring three meals. I just follow orders , Miss, you don’t need to say thank you.”

As soon as the words fell, the girl immediately burst out laughing "Puchi". Ye Yuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head slightly, and saw the girl tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a funny face:

"Even if you are only following orders, brother Ye has worked so hard to run errands, this thank you is well deserved. As for what brother Ye just said... the city lord feels very sorry? This must not be what he told you! I guess..." The girl Frowning slightly, he thought about it very hard, coughed suddenly and cleared his throat, then suppressed his smile, put his hands behind his back, and said coldly with no expression on his face——

"Ye Yuan, go to Zuixianju and buy three meals for delivery."

——That tone, that demeanor, is almost the same as Ye Gucheng's usual speech, and it is exactly the same as... Ye Gucheng ordered him this morning.Ye Yuan froze in place for a moment, feeling a little at a loss for a while, not knowing how to answer.The indifference on Ye Dange's face faded all at once, and he returned to his original appearance, looking up at him with a smile on his face:

"He must have no context or reason to explain it. He suddenly dropped a sentence with such a deadpan expression and asked you to do it?"

The girl blinked her eyes, looked at Ye Yuan's dazed look, and immediately showed a little pride on her face, with a look of "Look, I knew it!", and stretched out her hand to hand the food box to him. Ye Yuan's tone was still brisk:

"It doesn't matter if he is sorry, or if I don't eat well, or if I don't have the strength to make a sword, it's all good intentions, and I will keep it in my heart. I can't go out right now, so please brother Ye thank the city lord for me."

Ye Yuan took the food box, opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to explain something, but really didn't know what to say, finally he didn't make a sound, and nodded silently.

Ye Dange took half a step back, saluted him again, and said, "Thank you."

Ye Yuan took half a step sideways, did not accept the gift, and said, "Put the food box where it is after the girl finishes eating, I will pick it up, I don't have to go out to return it myself." Then he jumped onto the roof, and then The figure disappeared quickly.

Ye Dange raised his head and looked at the roof, then at the direction of the inn, shook his head with a smile, turned and went back to the sword casting room.
