"Okay, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Thank you, Miss Yan, for reminding me." Guan Heng looked at the lively market in Qingshui Village at this time, and he whispered: "It seems that this place is quite prosperous. Your casting and smelting workshop The business should be pretty good, right?"
At this time, Yan Luer had already sent all the sisters who were washing clothes home. When she heard Guan Heng say these words, she just smiled bitterly and shook her head, and then said: "You can come to my workshop to cast iron." We have a lot of customers, but they are all bad customers who make excuses and refuse to pay. At the end of the year, my father and I can barely maintain food and clothing."
"How could this be?" Guan Heng seemed a little strange when he heard this. He said, "Why do those people default on their debts?"
"The reason is that my father's casting skills are really good. The bronze tools he made are famous in nearby villages. However, my father is too honest and kind. Some people took advantage of this and became brothers with him and proposed the idea of casting tools. After making a deal, and then making excuses to cry about poverty, my father would be embarrassed to accept any more payment.”
When Yan Lu'er said this, he paused for a moment and continued: "Dad often said that one should be kind-hearted in dealing with the world. When others are in trouble, one must help others and not be too selfish. So, My family’s foundry has always been hand-to-mouth.”
"There are such kind people? It's rare to see them in this world." After listening to Yan Lu'er's words, Guan Heng sighed secretly in his heart: "It's a pity that honest people will be bullied. This is not true at all."
At this time, Yan Luer had already brought Guan Heng, Agou and Tunguihu to the door of his foundry. Just as they were about to enter, they heard a burst of yelling coming from the house: "Old man, you actually put the young master My bronze heavy sword is made into such an ugly shape. I think you are getting impatient. Come on, give me a blow—"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of punching and kicking was heard from inside the house, and an old man wailed: "Stop, stop fighting!"
"Dad, is it my dad who is being beaten?!" When Yan Luer heard the screams, he suddenly became anxious and ran into the house. Guan Heng and Agou followed closely behind.
After they entered the house, they discovered that several strong men in animal skin suits were beating an old man so hard that he kept wailing: "Ouch, ouch!" Holding a bronze heavy sword, he yelled angrily: "Hit me, beat me to death!"
"Stop it, don't hit my daddy." Yan Luer desperately threw himself on the old man at this time, using his own body to block the opponent's punches and kicks. Seeing this, several villains suddenly couldn't do anything.
"Stinky girl, get out of here. I'm going to beat this old guy to death today." The young man yelled, "If you don't get out, I'll beat you up too." "Hey, where did this old man offend you?"
At this moment, Guan Heng couldn't stand it anymore. He hugged his shoulders and said loudly: "But no matter what, it's too much for you to do such a cruel thing to an old man!"
"You - mind your own business... Huh?!" The young man was about to scold Guan Heng when he saw the strong man beside Guan Heng, Agou, glaring at him. This Agou was over ten feet tall and had muscles all over his body. It was like half a black tower, and its fist was almost as big as this kid's head.
The young man felt a little embarrassed, and then he said forcefully: "I am the son of Liu Sheng, the leader of the Shahai tribe - Liu Dan. Boy, please mind your own business, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Shahai tribe? Liu Sheng?"
Guan Heng's brows moved slightly when he heard the name, and then he said coldly: "I just want to ask this old man what mistake he made. You must make it clear today. Otherwise, let alone a tribe leader, you are The son of the co-owner of the three ancient kingdoms can’t even think of walking out safely.”
After Guan Heng said these words, Agou suddenly took a step forward, frightening the boy named Liu Dan to tremble all over: "You——"
"Damn it, stay away from our young clan."
At this time, a strong man wearing animal skins came over and reached out to push Agou. Who knew that Agou grabbed the kid's wrist with a "pop" and then threw him out of the door, directly throwing this guy away. The man fell to pieces, and it hurt so much that he screamed indiscriminately.
"Did you see? My eldest brother has a bad temper, and I have a bad temper. You must make things clear." Guan Heng stood in front of the young man at this moment: "Otherwise, the boy who was thrown out just now is you. The end!"
"Say, just say it, look, this is the bronze epee I asked this old guy to forge three days ago. The size and weight were originally agreed upon, but when I came to pick it up today, it was not at all like that. What’s going on, can this not make me angry?”
At this moment, the young man handed the sword to Guan Heng: "Here, look, the blade of this sword is very rough and has not been polished at all, and the sword head is round and blunt. It is not the style I want at all. !”
"He, he's talking nonsense!"
At this time, Yan Luer's father stood up with the support of his daughter. The old man was so angry that his beard trembled and said: "What I made is not this heavy sword at all. When you went out with an excuse just now, you used my sword." I swapped it with the defective products brought by my entourage, you, you obviously did this because you wanted to deprive me of my reward!"
"Old guy, what are you talking about?!" After hearing Old Man Yan's words, Liu Dan's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. He gritted his teeth and said, "I said you forged this sword. It was forged by you. You If you dare to refute what I said, are you seeking death?"
By this time, Guan Heng had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter. He expected that the boy named Liu Dan had prepared a defective bronze epee in advance, and when he got here, he made a good sword with Old Man Yan. A thief came and used this as an excuse to let his men beat up old man Yan. This kid is simply worse than a beast!
"Bah!" It was too late to say, but then, Guan Heng suddenly took the bronze epee from Liu Dan's hand in front of him. Liu Dan was shocked: "What do you want to do?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I just want to say something fair for you." At this moment, Guan Heng had a smirk on his face. While stroking the edge of the sword, he said to himself: "Well, it is indeed true. A handful of defective products, Old Man Yan, you are well-known for your casting skills, but I didn’t expect you to be a ‘profiteer’ who sells inferior products, you are simply a scum.”
"Hahaha, this little brother is absolutely right, the old guy named Yan is a scum." Liu Dan didn't know why Guan Heng changed his tune at this time, but this guy quickly added jealousy: "Look, I asked someone to beat this old guy, did I teach him a lesson?"
