"Uncle, it stands to reason that it is a blessing for you to fall in love with the second girl. I dare not say anything more. However, our family has been in good condition in recent years. Raising four children is not a big problem. The younger one really has no problem. You mean selling your child." On the ground, the man who was working in the farmland was standing in front of Deng Feng with sweat on his face, nodding and bowing, but his meaning was very firm.

"Brother, I won't make it difficult for you, nor will I say anything threatening. I just want to ask a simple question, isn't this child yours?" Although Deng Feng was smiling, his question was to the point.

"The uncle is joking. After raising the little one for so many years, he won't be able to tell the difference between his own children." The farmer's face changed, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Okay, all five members of your family are Han Chinese, but you have a mixed-race second daughter. Do the people in your village believe it? I won't argue with you. I will definitely take the child away. With her qualifications, she will You are the one causing trouble here. When she grows up for another three to five years, do you think your family can hold it together?" Deng Feng continued to smile, but gave a threat that was not a threat.

The farmer's face turned pale!
Looking at the entire feudal society, whether it is Europe, America or China, the cruel system of superiority and inferiority is the same.An ordinary lower-class family has a very outstanding-looking female dependent, whether it is a wife, a daughter or a daughter-in-law. This is not something to be proud of. On the contrary, it is likely to be a disaster for the whole family.This is not a joke. The evil young man who teased him in the street was actually very kind. There were really not too many cases where he wiped out his whole family just to occupy this beautiful female family member, such as Wu Dalang, such as Yang Bailao.

Just like this ordinary rural family, the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi fostered Xiao Zhao here, and the results may not be good.Xiao Zhao is not yet 10 years old now, so of course it is not a big problem. Once she grows to 14 or 15 years old, the farmer will definitely not be able to hold on.

In the original book, Xiao Zhao was about 16 years old when she officially appeared on the stage, and she didn't seem to have grown up yet, but before she officially appeared on the stage, she had served Yang Buhui with Yang Xiao for about two years. To put it bluntly, "Parents have passed away", that is only about five years later. This peasant couple is now in their early 30s. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to die so quickly, so the cause of their death is very worthy of careful consideration. For a moment.

"How is it? Have you thought carefully about how to answer?" Deng Feng continued to ask in a leisurely manner.

"Master, Xiao Zhao is not my child, but a mother-in-law who takes care of me here and gives me a lot of money every year. Although I really want your money, I can't and dare not take it. That mother-in-law doesn’t look like an ordinary person.” The farmer thought about it for a long time, then gritted his teeth and told the truth.

Deng Feng smiled instead. He returned to the horse and pretended to take out a few money from his bag. Then he came back with a pack of silver leaves exchanged from Shannan Town Bank during this period, and took out a handful of gold leaves from his arms. , "This is 50 taels of cash, each piece is one tael. I will give you another 10 taels of gold. Think clearly, take your family and leave now. I will pretend I haven't seen you."

The farmer's face changed drastically. Although he didn't accept the money, he didn't refuse it anymore. He just stood there with his expression constantly changing. On the contrary, the peasant woman beside him couldn't bear it anymore, "Master, that mother-in-law can only give you 5 taels of silver a year." , we still have to work hard to take care of this little girl; now that we have the money, can we just find a place to hide?"

"Forget it, I will give you another 10 taels of gold. You can hide for two years and buy 10 acres of land after you come out. It will be much more comfortable than guarding these thin fields here." Deng Feng took out 10 more gold leaves. , which can be regarded as the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The farmer took the gold and silver with trembling hands. He only looked at Xiao Zhao with complex eyes for a few times before leaving, and then led the family away without hesitation.

Xiao Zhao was at a loss as he watched the farmer's family getting further and further away. His eye circles began to turn red. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and cried out with a "Wow", "No, no, you don't like me. Why don't you like me?" Dislike me!"

Deng Feng was stunned!
However, Yalixian next to her reacted, hugged Xiao Zhao, and comforted her in a low voice, "Sister, be good. Follow your brothers and sisters from now on, and we will take good care of you." According to Yalixian's original values, she should call herself " "Uncle and aunt", but after following Deng Feng for more than a year, she basically calls herself "sister", and she gradually got used to it.

"Wow -" Obviously, the comfort effect is not good.

After tossing back and forth for nearly half an hour, amidst the little girl's constant sobbing, the two finally figured out the ins and outs.

Xiao Zhao is only a little over 8 years old this year, which is still underage, but this is already her third foster home. The problems in the first two are the same. After taking care of her for a period of time, all the other children in the family ostracized her because of Xiao Zhao's special treatment. , in the end there was really no choice but to find another one.The first family, including Xiao Zhao's three children, lived with them for more than a year at least; the second family had many children, five without Xiao Zhao, and they simply couldn't continue after only half a year; this is the third family, which lasted less than half a year. But signs of isolation have already appeared. Children are already sensitive. Xiao Zhao is born with precocious intelligence and has already felt it. This time he was "sold", and the loneliness and helplessness that had been suppressed for more than two years broke out in an instant. Deng Feng and the two were caught off guard.

In fact, this is also reflected in the original work.Xiao Zhao has served Yang Buhui for two years. Judging from Yang Buhui's attitude when the two daughters officially appeared, Xiao Zhao's life will definitely not get better, but she is still very grateful to the Yang family and her daughter; has she stayed with Zhang Wuji? For a long time, Zhang Wuji only took care of her a little. The most important thing was to respect the little girl. Xiao Zhao chose to stay with Zhang Wuji forever as a maid without any hesitation. This certainly has the effect of Zhang Wuji's halo as the protagonist, but considering that Xiao Zhao Zhao was fostered by Dai Qisi, the purple-shirted dragon king, since he was a child. The lack of care, love, or human love is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

"Xiao Zhao is good, my brother promises you that I will never let you change homes again in this life. Let's hook up." Deng Feng smiled and stretched out his little finger to gesture in front of Xiao Zhao.

"Really?" Lihua's little face was full of distrust.

"Come on - pull the hook, hang yourself, don't change for 100 years! Okay, brother has promised, don't worry! Now, follow brother on the big horse, let's run!" Deng Feng laughed loudly and lifted Xiao Zhao on the spot He stood up and sat on his neck. He squatted for a moment, then flew up and landed on the horse's back accurately. Xiao Zhao screamed in fright and was put down by him, sitting on the small section of the saddle in front of him.Deng Feng then said hello to Yalixian, then put his arm around Xiao Zhao and pulled up the horse's reins with the other hand, "Let's go - fight!"

The war horse immediately neighed and started running on all fours. After Xiao Zhao experienced the initial fright, he quickly adapted and giggled in Deng Feng's arms, spreading laughter like silver bells along the way. Yali Xian couldn't laugh or cry. But he had no choice but to follow closely behind him.

Just like this, they ran all the way. The originally planned journey of more than an hour was shortened by a full third, and they had reached the vicinity of the Mingjiao altar. The cost was that both horses kept sticking out their tongues and foaming at the foam.Deng and Feng soon felt that there were people peeping around them, and some so-called "passers-by" had even put their hands into their arms or on their lower backs.

Deng Feng ignored it and went directly to the entrance of the village. He reined in the horse skillfully and dismounted. He did not forget to coax Xiao Zhao who wanted to continue "riding the big horse", and then handed the little girl to Yalixian. , walked towards a few big men who were bragging and spanking around at the entrance of the village, "Brothers, please tell Master Wu Xiang that Deng Feng from Shannan Town is visiting due to an introduction from an old friend."

The faces of several big men suddenly changed, and those who were sitting suddenly stood up. The "formation" that was originally sitting together moved slightly without leaving a trace, faintly surrounding Deng Feng. One of them should be the big man who was the leader. Then he looked at Deng Feng with a sullen face, "Young master, you are joking. We are just a group of villagers farming. We don't know whether there is an incense owner or an incense owner."

Deng Feng laughed heartily. He first pointed at Yalixian and Xiao Zhao who were playing with each other in their arms, and then pointed at himself, indicating that he meant no harm. Then he slowly took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the big man, "This Don’t get me wrong, brother, I am introduced by Mr. Wang from the Far Escort Bureau in Jingcheng City. This is a token. You just need to inform me. As for whether you can see me or not, it is not your incense master who has the final say?"

The big man hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe it, "Wait a moment, don't wander around, I'll go in and report." After saying that, he entered the village and gave the remaining big men a vague wink before leaving. The rest of the people left more vigilantly. Staring at Deng Feng and the others.

Deng Feng didn't take it seriously, and even took Xiao Zhao from Yalixian's hand and played a clapping game with her. The big men didn't know what to do - they made it clear that they didn't mean any harm, and if he still Watching him like this to prevent thieves makes him look petty.

In just half a stick of incense, an eight-foot tall man with a red face and a red face, exuding the aura of fire, walked quickly with a few big men who seemed to be subordinates. They were still more than ten meters away, and the big man was so big. They greeted each other with a smile, "It turns out they are Mr. and Mrs. Deng, a newly wealthy couple who came from the grassland. I didn't expect that they also have such a deep friendship with the Wang brothers. Wu was disappointed and hoped that Mr. Deng would atone for his sins - oh? This belongs to Mr. Deng. Daughter, I have never heard of this Wu, so please forgive me for any oversight." This sentence showed enthusiasm, but also showed strength. After all, Deng Feng has only been here for a year, except for the beginning. He rarely goes out and has not even been to Shannan Town a few times. The Mingjiao has already found out his general origins and contacts, showing his strong intelligence capabilities.As for Xiao Zhao, he just "bought" it today. It would be strange if the Mingjiao knew about it. "Master Wu Xiang, you're welcome. I have taken the liberty to come here and disturb everyone's enjoyment. I apologize first." Deng Feng clasped his fists at the people around him, and the big men around him also hurriedly returned the greetings.

"Haha, Mr. Deng is so cool! This is not the place to talk, please come inside!" Wu Jincao waved his hand sideways, and the remaining big men consciously lined up on both sides of the road, showing a high level of training and discipline.

"That's how shameless Deng is!" Deng Feng handed Xiao Zhao into Yalixian's arms, responded with a smile on the outside, and strode into the village, but in his heart he was wary of the elite members of the Ming Cult, and passed by Wu Jincao At the same time, he completed the "arm holding" action with his left hand, "Master Wu Xiang, you're welcome, let's take a look together?"

When Wu Jincao saw Deng Feng making a move, he changed his body shape three times in a row without avoiding it. After being caught by Deng Feng, he tried to shake him away, but it had no effect five times in a row. He hugged his right arm. Deng Feng's left arm was like a steel pillar, motionless.Only then did he give up his fantasy, and became more cautious towards Deng Feng, but his expression basically remained unchanged, and his mouth was even more affectionate, "Haha, Mr. Deng doesn't have to be like this. Friends of Brother Wang are naturally friends of Mingjiao, and even more I'm Wu's friend, please!" But he brought up the name of Mingjiao, obviously knowing that he couldn't defeat the other party.

"Hey (ai, three sounds), Deng just needs to trouble Wu Xiangzhu with some personal matters. Why do you need so much trouble?" Deng Feng briefly explained the purpose of his visit and admitted that he came to ask for help. He accepted his defeat and let go of his left hand. Wu Jincao.

"Haha, if you have any trouble with your friend, don't bother me." Wu Jincao carefully moved his numb arms a few times, and even used his internal energy to assist, but he accepted Deng Feng's kindness.

Yalixian naturally followed behind, teasing Xiao Zhao while walking.She didn't understand the private confrontation between the two at all, but she just wondered why the two people who met for the first time were so intimate.

Soon they arrived at the living room, and after another round of useless business bragging such as "young and promising", "famous in the Western Regions", "excellent martial arts", "protecting one party", Deng Feng finally seized the opportunity to explain. Purpose of visit: "I came here this time mainly because Brother Wang said that the blacksmiths here in Brother Ang are very skilled. It just so happened that the weapons here were really not up to par. My wife didn't even have any decent weapons, so she came here shamelessly. Of course. , There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and Deng has a small fortune, so he will not let his friends’ busy work go in vain.”

"Looking at the unique weapons of Brother Deng, I wonder if I can take a look." Wu Jincao had actually paid attention to the long knife on Deng Feng's waist, so he tried to test it.

"What's wrong with this?" Deng Feng simply took off his long knife and handed it over, and immediately felt the atmosphere around him relax.

Wu Jincao drew his sword out of its sheath, but his eyes shrank, "What a domineering technique, it should be to smash the material into shape (integral cold forging and stamping), and then polish it (grinding machine), but to create The heat is simply garbage (it has not been quenched or tempered). It's just that the material is rare, but it can be called a good knife." The last sentence was obviously a polite word.

"This... isn't it that I can't find a master craftsman like Brother Ang." Deng Feng smiled coyly. ”

"What about the shape?" Wu Jincao chuckled and said no more.

"Just follow it."

Wu Jincao pulled out all the long sword, looked at the smooth blade and simple equipment, and nodded with satisfaction, "The shape of the sword is really impeccable!" Then his face looked a little strange, "I heard that the ancestors of Brother Deng went out in the Qianming Dynasty. of?"

"Indeed."

"Do you have relatives in the Central Plains?" Wu Jincao's expression became even more strange.

"We have long since lost contact."

"The shape of this knife is very good, it's a pity." Wu Jincao sighed and didn't ask any more questions, "When it comes to blacksmith skills, Wu does his best, but I don't know what brother Deng wants?"

"Brother Wu, is there black iron or something similar here?" Deng Feng knew very little about the material. The most famous one in the martial arts world was probably black iron, so he simply mentioned it.

"You have a lot of demands." Wu Jincao glared at him angrily, "I have plenty of black iron, but it is too difficult to smelt. This is the reason why there are so few black iron weapons - although this black iron is a treasure, it is If you look for it carefully, it is not too difficult. Wu is not talented and has more than a thousand kilograms of dark iron in stock. However, the temperature required to melt this thing is too high, which is more than [-]% higher than ordinary iron materials. It requires fierce fire oil to melt, but this fierce fire oil requires very high processing technology. If our Mingjiao produces a little bit, we will first prepare it for the brothers of Liehuo Banner. Even within the Mingjiao, the elders and below cannot even think of using it." The implication is, You are not qualified.

"This." Deng Feng was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Wu, have you ever heard of coke?"

"What is this?"

"That's right." Deng Feng started doing something, which made Wu Jincao's eyes brighter and brighter. "With this, the temperature of the iron furnace can be greatly increased, and maybe Xuan Tie is not a problem."

"Okay! If this can be done, Wu will guarantee that the weapons Brother Deng wants in the future will be forged to the best quality!"

"Well, thank you so much, Brother Wu!" Deng Feng explained his needs and Yalixian's needs clearly, and then left with fists in his hands.

PS1: The principle of coke is not complicated. Large-scale industrial production may be difficult. Workshop-style production is really not too troublesome. The author is no longer limited in word count.

PS2: I’m so miserable~~~~
