Xu Mo was immediately confused. He thought for a long time before he finally realized: "The more I listen, the more confused I am. Should I help him or not?"
In fact, Xu Mo is just a portrayal.
There is a skill to everything, and repaying a favor is no exception—it requires the right opportunity.
That's why I left.
"You must have good intentions, but you cannot use your kindness to hurt others."
I turned around and pointed behind me: "Just like now, if he doesn't want to talk, you don't ask, but you have to remember that he is kind to you. He is being threatened now, and you can't just sit idly by."
Looking at Xu Mo's dazed look, I knew that he had been deceived by me.
I know it's hard for him to accept it now, but he has to accept it.
He calls me master, and I must be responsible to him.
I don't expect him to be a great person, but I hope he will be a well-liked person.
Xu Mo asked again: "What should we do now?"
"Look at the ground."
From the moment we entered Blacksmith Street, no one could be seen on the road, and the whole street was completely silent.
The snow fell on the road, and there were neat footprints on it.
Xu Mo looked down for a while before speaking: "You mean, you want to secretly help him?"
"That's what it means."
"Look slowly along the footprints. There must be clues."
Xu Mo looked at me inexplicably: "Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack in this vast and snowy place?"
"Be down-to-earth and work little by little, and there will definitely be results."
I just thought that taking Xu Mo with me would help him learn more skills.
Now, I suddenly feel that I am doing the right thing. Learning skills is on the one hand, and the main thing is to let him see the ways of the world.
The footprints on the snow were very clear, but they suddenly disappeared around the corner of the street, as if they had never appeared before.
Xu Mo looked at me confused: "Master, what's going on?"
Everything was in a deadlock at this moment. Although Xu Mo and I had the intention, we really couldn't use the strength.
In fact, even if I don't care about the old blacksmith, this is considered a matter of course.
But now that I have Xu Mo, I must lead by example.
Thinking of this, I turned around with Xu Mo: "Let's go back."
Returning to the blacksmith shop, I knocked on the door several times before the old blacksmith slowly opened the door.
The moment he saw the two of us, he was obviously in a daze.
"Why are you back?"
I closed the door with a smile and sat directly next to the stove: "It's too cold outside, I want to stay warm here."
"I'm closing the door now. If there's nothing else, don't stay here."
Obviously, the old blacksmith did not welcome us back this time.
I thought about it carefully and said bluntly: "I can probably guess who was looking for you just now."
"who?"
"You know who it is better than I do."
As soon as these words came out, the old blacksmith immediately fell silent.
Actually, I'm totally bragging here, I have no idea who that is.
However, the old blacksmith still followed the same trick and quickly lowered his voice: "Have you met each other?"
"He threatened you, right?"
The old blacksmith lowered his head again: "I'm already this old, how can I threaten you?"
"You think I'm afraid of him? I just don't want to make my situation too messy!"
I quickly nodded and reassured him: "Yes, yes, you are definitely not afraid of him."
"If I'm not mistaken, he grabbed your neck."
After a while, the old blacksmith Youyou said: "You don't have to talk to me about this. Originally, I really wanted you to do a favor."
"But there's no need for that now."
Before I could say anything, Xu Mo became unhappy: "Old sir, you are looking down on my master by talking like this!"
"Have you seen the shrine on the street? It's..."
Before he could finish speaking, I patted him first.
The old blacksmith pursed his lips: "Who doesn't know about the first living temple in Monan?"
"Is that your master who is enshrined in this shrine?"
