In the evening, the sun sets.
Thirty-Two is here and brings a new face.
Blacksmith Li Da was deceived.
After the two of them took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Chengcheng County, they ran all the way to Gaojiacun. The journey was more than thirty miles, including a large section of mountainous roads, which was not an easy walk.
When they arrived at the place, they were both tired, hungry and thirsty, and couldn't hold on any longer.
"We're here, we're here." Thirty-Two pointed in the direction of Gaojiacun: "Ah, I haven't been here for a few days, and there is another colorful city wall here. It's really amazing. This is called [The sun changes and the moon changes]."
Along the way, Li Da became more and more deserted and uninhabited. In fact, he already had doubts in his heart, but when he saw the colorful city wall in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. The city wall in front of him How majestic, actually two feet high!
This shows that the big master stationed here is very powerful.
Moreover, he also paints the city walls, which shows that he is already rich enough to use money to do some boring things. This kind of big man who likes to waste money is usually generous with his money.
He couldn't help but ask: "There is such a big city here? Where are we?"
Thirty-two: "Gaojiacun!"
"Village?" Li Da didn't quite believe his ears. Even if Thirty-Two said this was Xi'an City, he would believe it. But when he said this was a village, how could he dare to call it a village with a two-foot-high city wall?
"Since it's just a village, then this is a family fortress." Li Da asked curiously: "I have never heard that there is an old man named Gao in Chengcheng Township."
Thirty-two: "This master is called Lord Tianshen."
A huge question mark slowly popped up on Li's head.
Thirty-two: "After you go in, ask less and look more. Don't offend the old man and get kicked out. I won't be able to save you at that time. This is called [walking on thin ice]."
Li Da is not a country fool like a fifth-year high school student. He grew up in the county town. He has met many officials and rural gentlemen. Of course, he understands that when entering a wealthy compound, he should ask less and see more. Hurry up. He nodded: "I understand this."
Thirty-Two led the way, and the two of them walked into the gate of Gaojia Village one after the other.
Only one city gate has been built now, and there is another one that is too late to be built today. This picture looks a bit funny. Li Da thought to himself: This city has just been built, and the city gate has not even been built yet. , no wonder the eldest master wants to recruit blacksmiths. It seems that there is an opportunity for me to show off my skills.
As soon as he thought of this, he was startled by the "cool slaves" sitting in the city gate eating. These slave laborers were holding large earthen bowls. The bowls were filled with white broken rice, cabbage leaves and chicken. The strips are topped with a bowl of fragrant chicken and cabbage rice bowl.
What are the conditions in this old man’s family?
Even the workers who do hard labor for him can eat this?
Once I made armor for the inspector, but I didn't get such a good meal.
And... aren't the bodies of these hard laborers too good?
During the three-year drought, almost all of the people at the bottom of society that Li Da often came into contact with were sallow and thin, and looked like they could be knocked down by the wind.
But the group of "hard laborers" in front of me are all full-looking, which is a big departure.
Little did he know that since Li Daoxuan started feeding Gaojia Village, the villagers have had rice, meat, vegetables, salt and water every day. They are rich in nutrients and their food tastes better, so of course they are in better health.
He really wanted to say something, but Thirty-Two warned him to ask less and read more, so he had to hold it in and felt very uncomfortable.
Thirty-two brought Li Da to Gao Yiye, smiled and cupped his hands: "Miss Gao, I brought the blacksmith here according to the instructions of Lord Tianshen. This is called [fortunately fulfilling one's destiny]."
Gao Yiye responded and was about to raise his head to call when he heard Lord Tianshen's gentle voice: "Well, praise him, he did a good job."
It turned out that Li Daoxuan was also eating at this time. He was holding a bowl of rice noodles with pickled cabbage and shredded pork, staring at the landscaping box with silly joy. He had already seen Thirty-Two and Li Da as soon as they walked into the landscaping box.
Gao Yiye said: "Master Tianshen praises you for doing a good job."
Thirty-two: "[Excited]."
Li Daoxuan was about to ask something serious, and his tone became more serious: "Yiye, let Thirty-Two introduce this blacksmith."
(Starting here, it is assumed that Gao Yiye is recounting the story.)
Thirty-Two quickly introduced: "This man's name is Li Da. He is the best blacksmith in Chengcheng County. He has made armors for several inspectors in the county. He also made many weapons for the soldiers at the guard station. , this is called [skilled craftsman]."
Li Daoxuan thought to himself: He actually has the same surname as me. We were the same family five hundred years ago.
Li Da was grateful when Thirty-Two spoke kindly to him, but he was a little strange. The Third Master was also the number one figure in the county, so why did he nod and bow to a little girl? This little girl is dressed like an ordinary village girl.
Li Daoxuan's eyes were fixed on Li Da: "Li Da, can you make iron armor?"
Li Da was asked about his major. He immediately perked up and said with some pride: "Qiqiu... girl... I joined the Ordnance Bureau since I was a child. I have learned to make various weapons and armors since I was a child. There is no such thing as a small person." What man cannot build.”
"Hey, you're a bit confident." Li Daoxuan was amused: "Can you also make fire guns?"
"Yes!" Li Da replied confidently: "The villain can make a three-eyed gun."
Li Daoxuan: "Yes, yes, the technology is quite good. It seems that you can teach the people in the village how to make iron armor."
Privately made armor? This is a serious crime of rebellion.
Li Da suddenly became nervous, but if he thought about it carefully, what about the serious crime of rebellion? This person dares to do such a thing, which proves his strength. Only such a strong person can help me get rid of my craftsmanship and regain my white body.
If you're afraid of a hammer, do it!
Li Daoxuan: "In addition, I also want to give you a difficult task."
Hearing the words "difficult task", a confident smile flashed across the corner of Li Da's mouth. How difficult can it be, no matter how difficult it is? I, Li Da, don’t have any weapons or armor that I can’t fight with. No matter how complicated you give me, isn’t it just a pile of iron? If I spend more time, I can always type it out.
If he really faced an old man, he would be a little afraid, but facing a village girl like Gao Yiye, he really didn't have stage fright at all. He puffed up his chest and said, "Girl, just report to the old man." , there is nothing that I, Mr. Li, cannot build. No matter what the big master wants, the little man can also make it. I just ask the big master to help me. When the thing is done, I will give the little man a white body. The descendants of the little man can get rid of the craftsman. I can’t thank you enough.”
He was so confident that Li Daoxuan was not polite. He picked up a piece of A5 paper and placed it on the open space behind the city gate...
