Suddenly, Li Jie remembered something, the dagger with Yang Kang's name engraved on it. When Yang Guo officially started practicing martial arts, Mu Nianci handed over the dagger he had been keeping to Yang Guo. That dagger could be said to be as sharp as cutting iron. Mud, it should be worth a lot of money if you meet someone who knows the goods.
Of course, as this dagger was left behind by Yang Kang, Li Jie would definitely not sell it directly. He could pawn it if he could not sell it, and there was a person in Niujia Village who should know the goods in his memory.
A blacksmith!
There are dozens of households in Niujia Village. Iron is an important material in a farming society. There are very few iron tools for ordinary people. Most of them are passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. They will never be replaced unless they are so bad that they cannot be repaired. Moreover, cattle The village is not near the official road, so there are very few pedestrians coming and going on weekdays.
However, this is the situation. Someone has opened a blacksmith shop here. The business is naturally not much better. If the blacksmith's skills are not good enough to gain a foothold in the outside world, then it is okay for him to open his shop in Niujia Village. It's understandable, but on the contrary, this middle-aged blacksmith's craftsmanship is not only not bad, but also very good. Everyone who has repaired farm tools with him will not fail to praise him.
Yang Guo once naughty and accidentally broke into the blacksmith shop. At that time, he happened to see the blacksmith uncle forging a sword. The blacksmith didn't pay much attention to him at the time and was just having fun.
His words were enough to fool Yang Guo, who had not seen much of the world, but he could not fool Li Jie. Looking through the memories in his mind, it was not difficult to find that the blacksmith's forging techniques were not only skillful, but also very clever.
I'm afraid this blacksmith is not a 'serious' blacksmith.
If it were just that, with Li Jie's caution, he would not rashly come to pledge it when the enemy and we are unknown. After all, the dagger is a valuable weapon, and he still understands the principle of not revealing wealth. .
Mu Nianci has a beautiful appearance, bright eyes and white teeth. When she was young, she was slim and beautiful. She gave birth to a child, which added a touch of maternal glory. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in this remote countryside. In addition, She is an orphan and a widower, so naturally there will be no disturbance in front of the door.
Fortunately, most of the country people are still simple. Even if some people are greedy for Mu Nianci's beauty, many people still don't have the courage to take action. However, ruffians, hooligans, and second-rate people can be found wherever they go.
Mu Nianci has a kind heart, and these people are basically gangsters who have never been in the world. Faced with these harassments, she avoids them whenever she can, and tries not to use the martial arts she has learned.
After going back and forth, these people thought she was afraid, so they became more arrogant in her words and deeds. Finally, just when Mu Nianci couldn't help but use martial arts to teach these people a lesson, the blacksmith took action and severely punished the rogues.
I don’t know what method he used later, but no one bothered Mu Nianci again after that.
Mu Nianci was not a young girl in love, how could she not understand anything? Her heart had long since died along with Yang Kang, and her only hope in this life was for her children to grow up healthy and happy.
There were many disputes in front of the widow's door, and the middle-aged blacksmith was alone. Even though she was grateful, she did not choose to speak out, but silently kept her distance from him.
The above contents were all made up by Li Jie based on the scenes in his memory. I guess they are quite different.
That dagger is a rare item in the hands of ordinary people, but it is not a magic weapon, and its quality is limited. Besides, the blacksmith has lived peacefully in Niujia Village for so many years, so he will probably not do anything with a foreign object. An act of seeking wealth and murder.
Besides, Yang Guo would go to his place from time to time to play in the autumn breeze. The two of them had a good relationship. Compared to the pawn shops outside, the blacksmith's place was obviously more reassuring.
Just do it!
Li Jie quietly exited Mu Nianci's room, walked into his own room, found the dagger, put on a coat as a raincoat, and walked out the door.
When you open the courtyard door, the first thing you see is a vast river. This river is the Qiantang River. The river flows endlessly around Niujia Village day and night, and finally merges into the East China Sea.
The snow is still falling outside, and the snowflakes are flying like goose feathers, falling to the earth one after another. A thick layer has already accumulated on the ground, and the feet make a squeaking sound when stepping on it. It is so cold that no pedestrian in the village can No, there was only smoke rising from both sides of the road.
Niujia Village is not large, and the distance from the beginning to the end of the village is less than one kilometer. It didn't take long for Li Jie to arrive at the blacksmith shop. The cloth sign at the door was rustling in the wind and snow, but the courtyard door was Close tightly.
clang! clang!
"Uncle, are you at home?"
A moment later, there was a rush of footsteps and a creak from behind the door. The courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged man in slightly thin clothes stood behind the door. He was tall, thick-browed and big-eyed, with a majestic appearance and a look in his eyes. A look of surprise.
"Yang Guo, why is it you? It's so cold and you're still running around. Hurry, go back!"
Li Jie smiled slightly in his heart, planning to deal with the blacksmith in front of him according to the original owner's temperament. He peeked inside and rolled his eyes.
"Hey, uncle blacksmith, is there someone hiding inside you?"
The blacksmith couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He moved slightly away half a step and cursed with a smile: "You bastard! Get out of here right now!"
Li Jie chuckled and ran in with a playful smile. When he saw the steaming roast chicken on the dining table, his eyes lit up. He couldn't help but tear off a chicken leg and gnawed it happily. Two bowls of porridge can't fill his stomach when he's not in good health, and if he doesn't act like he's reincarnated as a starving ghost, it will arouse the blacksmith's suspicion.
The blacksmith walked in and saw Li Jie wolfing down the food and smiled and shook his head. It was nothing. He was not short of money. This kid was quite interested in him. It was rare to meet such interesting people and things in this place. , why worry about so much.
"Son, you didn't come here just because you were greedy, right?"
Li Jie took out the dagger from his arms and threw it to the blacksmith while chewing it: "Uncle, look at this dagger."
The blacksmith reached out to take the dagger and opened the scabbard at will. The dagger's body was illuminated with a discernible light, and the cold light was overflowing. The tip of the blade was even more sharp. His initially disapproving attitude straightened out in an instant. With his knowledge, he had to secretly think in his heart. A thumbs up.
'What a weapon! '
After Li Jie threw the dagger, he seemed to be concentrating on eating, but in fact his mind was already focused on the blacksmith. Although the surprise in his eyes only flashed, it still could not escape Li Jie's eyes.
"Yang Guo, did you steal this from somewhere?"
