natural craftsman

The gangsters didn't go far, and rushed directly into a blacksmith's shop next to the gate of the Chen family's ancestral hall.

The blacksmith's shop looked as old as the Chen family's ancestral hall, at least a hundred years old, and the shop's plaque was even more dilapidated, with four words that had faded to the point of being illegible: Shen's iron shop.

There was only one clerk in the iron shop, who looked about the same age as Xie Lang, but was much stronger than Xie Lang.The man was naked with a swarthy upper body, the muscles on his back and hands were bulging high, and he was swinging a sledgehammer to forge an iron object.Seeing this group of gangsters barging in, he didn't stop what he was doing, and he didn't even look at these gangsters.

"Little thing, where did your old man go?" One of the gangsters scolded, "You two fathers and sons really don't know how to flatter you, everyone in the fucking area has moved away, you just want to be a nail house, are you going to use it? nails into the coffin?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier, we won't move." The boy said lightly, and continued to beat.

"Don't move? Don't you think you don't have enough money?" Another gangster said, "The boss of our company has already spoken, and I will give you two fathers and sons an extra 5 yuan for the coffin. Are you satisfied now? Damn, just go I know you all just want a few more dollars."

"I've already said, we won't move." The boy said again.

"I said this dog can't listen to human words?" One of the gangsters stood up and fucked the stool under his buttocks.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Nan quickly took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police.

"Wait a minute." Xie Lang stopped Zhou Nan from moving.

"Why don't you let me call the police, these people are going to make trouble?"

"Even if you make trouble, I don't think that kid will suffer." Xie Lang said, "If you didn't see that kid just now, not only was he not afraid, but he didn't even look straight at these bastards. He won't suffer."

However, what really reassured Xie Lang was the boy's hands.

Calm and powerful, but you can't see the scars and calluses that a coolie should have.You must know that the sledgehammer in the young man's hand weighed at least several tens of kilograms, but he didn't feel the slightest effort in swinging it in his hand, as if the hammer was not made of iron, but made of wood.

"But in case something goes wrong—"

"If something goes wrong, I'll go up and do what's right." Xie Lang replied.

"It's just you?" Zhou Nan glanced at Xie Lang's body, and said without much confidence, "I think it's better to forget it. If you want muscles, you don't have muscles. I think you don't have any strength if you want strength."

"Muscle and strength are two different things. Look at the Monkey King in Journey to the West, who is skinny and skinny, but he can turn the world over..."

Just as Zhou Nan and Xie Lang were arguing in low voices, another group of people came over suddenly, about 20 people, the leader of which had a scar on his face, and was very aggressive.

This group of people rushed directly outside the iron shop, but only the scarface walked into the iron shop, staring fiercely at the eight gangsters inside the iron shop, and said: "You melons, you don't want to trouble my brother ?”

Although the gangsters in this iron shop are not good people, they are gangsters on the street anyway. Finally, they recognized the scar, and one of them smiled apologetically: "It turned out to be Boss Wang, this...it's all our fault." I didn't figure it out before... In fact, it was all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, then let's go first, and invite Boss Wang to drink tea another day."

"Leave like that, and don't ask the brothers outside if they agree?" Scar's eyes were as wide as copper bells, quite fierce.

"Boss Wang, what are you doing?" One of the gangsters couldn't help but change his face, "We work for the Yindu Group, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Boss Wang, you should give our boss some face."

"Don't say I don't give your boss face, apologize to my brother, and then go as far as you can." Scar shouted.

When those gangsters heard that they could save their flesh and blood, they quickly apologized and ran away.

For these people, apologizing and swearing is like farting anyway.

Xie Lang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and said to Zhou Nan: "Oh, I thought there was a good show to watch, but they broke up before the show even started."

"It turns out that this blacksmith's shop is also in collusion with the underworld, but how did you find out?" Zhou Nan asked, seeming to recall something, "Speaking of this Shen's iron shop, I seem to remember that my grandma used to have a kitchen knife. I bought it from a Shenjia iron shop. It has been used for more than 40 years and it is still very sharp. When we moved, she was reluctant to throw it away. That kitchen knife, even if it is used to chop pig bones, will not curl up. It is really good. But the style is very rustic and not beautiful. I don’t know, is it the Shen family’s iron shop?”

At this time, the boy finally put down the hammer in his hand, and then he heard Scar say loudly: "Brother Tie, I came here specially to thank you, the knife you gave me last time, although it looked a little ugly , but he insisted on chopping the bastard Zhu Laosan's Japanese sword in two, without even curling the edge. I heard that Zhu Laosan spent more than 1 yuan to buy that Japanese sword. Hey, Zhu That guy, the third child, suddenly became deflated, let go of the territory, and even lost a sum of money to Lao Tzu. Thinking about it, I think it was fun, fun!"

The knife scar spoke happily and happily, but the young man didn't respond at all, he just said lightly: "You haven't paid for the knife you bought last time."

"Yes, I'll give it now." Dao Scar put a thick red envelope on the table, and then said: "Brother Tie, why did you mess with the people from Yindu Company? But it's both black and white, if you get involved with them, I'm afraid your business will not be peaceful. Otherwise, I will come forward and ask you for more money, and then you can open another big shop, how beautiful it is."

"This shop belongs to our Shen family, and no one can drive us away unless we have our own intentions." The young man said, "Why do you bring so many people, you block the door of my shop, how can I do business? .”

Dao Scar sighed: "Brother Tie, you are just too stubborn. Alright, I'm leaving. Let me know if something happens."

Scar waved his hand, and the people under him left in a hurry.

Xie Lang looked at the thick wallet on the table, thinking that there were at least thousands of people's coins in it, and couldn't help but think to himself: "It's also a craftsman, look at his way of making money, it's really a big deal."

"Puff!~"

The boy threw the beaten iron into the water, and a burst of white smoke immediately splashed out.

Xie Lang passed through the white smoke formed by the water mist, and said to the young man, "It's really good water."

Zhou Nan thought to himself: Is this Xie Lang out of his mind? When he entered someone's iron shop, he praised the water first without saying a word. Isn't that a problem?

But what puzzled Zhou Nan was that after hearing Xie Lang's words, the somewhat indifferent young man had a look of surprise on his face, and said, "The water is good, the knife is fast. My name is Shen Tie, how about you?"

"Thank you Lang."

Xie Lang smiled and said: "I never thought that I could still see such an authentic ancient Shu tempering method. Today is really a blessing."

The young man named Shen Tie also smiled, and said: "Now there are not many discerning people, please sit down. My iron shop is simple, and you two will make do with it."

With that said, Shen Tie poured tea for Xie Lang and Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan didn't know what Xie Lang and Shen Tie were talking about at all, she didn't seem to understand a word, but she could tell that Xie Lang was not talking nonsense, otherwise how could this indifferent young man appear so enthusiastic.

Zhou Nan looked around. The furnishings inside the iron shop were very old and messy. There were all kinds of ironware piled up on the shelves, most of which were knives.All ironware have one thing in common, that is, they are surprisingly ugly. Knives don’t look like knives, axes don’t look like axes, they don’t have a good shape, and they haven’t been polished deliberately, just like something made by an abstract artist.Zhou Nan thought to himself, maybe the people who built these things at the beginning may not be able to recognize what some things are.

Zhou Nan looked at Xie Lang again. At this time, Xie Lang was also looking at the messy iron objects around him, but Xie Lang seemed to enjoy it, and there were even a lot of surprise and admiration on his face.

Although she was full of doubts, Zhou Nan didn't open her mouth, because when she felt that she didn't understand, it was best not to open her mouth, so as not to be laughed at.

"Brother Xie, what do you think of these iron objects?" Shen Tie asked at this time.

"Okay." Xie Lang said, "Strong but not brittle, sharp but not broken, all are good iron. However, I wonder if Brother Shen can refine red iron?"

"Red iron?" Shen Tie said with a look of surprise on his face, "I am [-]% sure about tempering, but red iron needs red gall water to be refined, which is not easy to do. But if Brother Xie If you really want to refine red iron, I can give it a try."

"Then I'll leave it to Brother Shen." Xie Lang said, "Then I'll pick it up in a few days, but how about the price?"

"One thousand and one taels." Shen Tie said.

"Brother Shen is really generous, so I thank you in advance." Xie Lang said, getting up to leave. [17K Literature Network First Release]

After coming out of the iron shop, Zhou Nan said, "Xie Lang, what kind of iron is worth 1000 yuan a tael? Even stainless steel is only a few dozen yuan a catty. By the way, do you know this blacksmith?" Ah, I see you singing together."

"Stainless steel can also be compared with red iron? The stainless steel you are talking about is not even as good as the scrap iron in his shop." Xie Lang said, "Didn't you hear before that just a random knife in his shop can I cut more than 1 Japanese knives into two pieces. Not to mention 1000 yuan or two, even 1 yuan is worth it. This thing is hard to find. Alas, you don’t understand it, Let’s go to the Turtle Bridge and have a look.”

The last time I fought against the craftsman behind Wei Dao, Bahu was instantly killed by him in just one round. The fit is not high, and the second is because the steel used by Tyrant is not as good as other people's "Soul Eater Shuttle".And red iron is a kind of iron that is naturally bright red after tempering. It is extremely tough, but it is abnormally sharp after being cut. If you can put on a layer of red iron, it will be even more powerful.

Xingque's claws and the corners of its mouth were made of red iron, but Xie Lang didn't expect it to be red iron at the time.

"Pretend, just pretend." Zhou Nan snorted, feeling that Xie Lang was playing tricks.

What red iron, she has never heard of it.

But Zhou Nan finally saw the turtle that Xie Lang said had teeth but an empty stomach.

If you don't pay close attention, no one will know that there is a turtle with an empty stomach on the stone bridge.At this point, Zhou Nan had to admire Xie Lang's observation skills.But she didn't know that when Xie Lang touched the turtle, he immediately felt the difference. It was only because Zhou Nan was too arrogant that Xie Lang didn't tell her immediately.

There is nothing strange about a turtle with an empty stomach, even if this stone turtle has a row of teeth.However, compared to the other 23 are solid, then perhaps it is not just a coincidence.

But Zhou Nan searched for a long time, but he couldn't find anything special about this turtle that could be related to the treasure.

"I'll try."

Xie Lang knew that Zhou Nan couldn't find the "trick" of the tortoise, so he stepped forward and touched the stone tortoise a few times, then patted the back of the stone tortoise a few times very quickly, and then heard "Kata!~" With a crisp sound, the stone tortoise's teeth were all retracted suddenly, leaving a fist-sized hole in the tortoise's mouth.

Zhou Nan's eyes could not help but light up, she couldn't understand how Xie Lang did it.

"Hey, what's behind you?" Xie Lang said to her suddenly.
