Chapter 100 I Will

When he came to Baishiwan before, Liu Xinqi brought a batch of textbooks printed by Zhou Yuexin.

In the past few days, Liu Xinqi used his rest time at night to teach these R&D personnel and attended classes. He roughly explained the key points and difficulties in the teaching materials, and then let them study by themselves. If they have any questions, write to him or Zhou Yue.

On April [-]th, the continuous good weather finally ended. The weather became very violent, with strong winds and heavy rain. Liu Xinqi saw that the rain would not stop for a while, so he returned to Liu's house overland in the rain. storehouse.

……

On April [-]th, Luo Cheng came to the Liu Family Warehouse again. Because he came many times and every time Liu Xinqi sent him out with great courtesy, most people in the Liu Family Warehouse knew this Penglai County Captain. .

The clansman guarding the door did not stop him, Luo Chang drove straight in and entered the compound directly.

Hearing the crisp, dense, "ding, clang, clang..." sound of forging iron coming from the depths of the yard, Luo Cheng followed the direction of the sound and walked towards the depths of the yard.

Crossing a small gate, we came to a small courtyard. There was an iron-making furnace in the middle of the courtyard. There was a cover supported by brackets to protect the furnace from the rain. The fire in the furnace was burning brightly. It seemed that the typhoon weather had not stopped in recent days. Blacksmithing.

There were three people next to the stove, a middle-aged blacksmith. He held an iron ingot with a clamp in his left hand, and tapped it lightly with a hammer in his right hand, making one sound and two rapid sounds.

Opposite the middle-aged blacksmith is a young man with a strong physique, broad shoulders, and a sturdy back. He is nearly six feet (185 centimeters) tall and looks very powerful and domineering.

This young man is holding a sledgehammer. Looking at the hammer head, it should weigh more than sixty kilograms, but in this young man's hands it is as light as a heavy weight. With the middle-aged blacksmith's small hammer tapping, every time he can follow the middle-aged blacksmith's rhythm requirements, or Light or heavy, hammer exactly where the hammer hits lightly.

This harmonious scene seemed so pleasing to the eye that Luo Cheng couldn't help but stop beside the iron-making furnace to admire it.

After about a quarter of an hour, the blacksmith using the hammer was sweating profusely, and the two of them stopped.

Luo Cheng strolled to the strong man sitting down to rest and asked him:
"I see that you have this magical power, and you are also very skilled in using the hammer. You are careful about the weight and weight, and the accuracy is accurate. I think you must be highly skilled in martial arts."

"Luo County Lieutenant received the award. At my level, I can't even rank among the top [-] in the clan. I was just arranged by the clan leader to blacksmith here." The young man replied with a smile.

The young man recognized Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng continued to ask:

"With your strong physique and strong martial arts, no matter where you are, you can easily stand out from the crowd. It's better than blacksmithing here. Why are you still here?"

When the young man heard this question, his smile on Luo Cheng faded.

"You are so familiar with the clan leader, and you are Mr. Luo's father. You must have heard about our clan leader's ability to learn immortal magic, right?"

Luo Gao followed the Liujiabao people who migrated thousands of miles from Qizhou to Dengzhou. Basically all the old people knew Luo Gao.

"I heard Luo Gao talk about it."

"I used to be just an ordinary person, with average strength, physique, and height. I became what I am now after being cast by the clan leader with magic." The young man replied.

"You mean, after your patriarch cast a spell on you, although you became stronger, it also restrained you?" Luo Cheng asked.

"No. Although the patriarch didn't say that we can leave freely, I agree with what the patriarch said." "What?"

"The team leader said that his immortal magic was given by his ancestors. The ancestors chose us to receive the immortal magic and become stronger so that we can protect and serve our clansmen. We are not allowed to use force to show off our power for our own personal gain and to enjoy glory and wealth. Yes." The young man said, his eyes full of longing.

"Do you believe this?" Luo Cheng asked.

"I believe, I think the patriarch is right, and as a person who masters the magic of immortality, the patriarch has always practiced it. The assets of the clan have increased so much, and now, the clan leader still lives in the same apartment with his mother like other clan members. He sleeps on the earthen bed, still wears coarse clothes, and still eats simple meals. He has always practiced what he said with his own actions, so I believe in him and am willing to obey him."

After hearing what the young man said, Luo Cheng fell silent.

Seeing that Luo Cheng stopped asking, the young man also stopped chatting and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, Liu Xinqi walked in from the door of the small courtyard.

"Uncle, you didn't even say hello when you came here. If the tribe hadn't recognized you and told me, I wouldn't have known you were here."

Luo Cheng looked towards Liu Xinqi and found that in this early summer weather, he was wearing a brown linen jacket, linen trousers, and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles on his feet. Unlike the patriarch of a large clan with thousands of people.

"I'm done with the work of the order, so I'll come here if I don't have anything to do recently." Luo Cheng got up and replied.

"I was busy in the mechanical room just now. When I heard you coming, I rushed here without changing my clothes. I'm very rude. I hope my uncle can forgive me." Liu Xinqi walked to Luo Cheng and said with a smile.

"You're welcome, I came uninvited too."

"Anyway, my uncle is very kind to me. If you are willing, this is my uncle's home. You can come anytime you want. Come on, let's go to the reception room to sit and chat, and I will change some clothes."

"it is good."

The two came to the reception room, and Liu Xinqi went into the back room to change into clean clothes. During this period, Liu Lizhen also rushed over and drank tea and chatted with Luo Cheng outside.

When Liu Xinqi came out after changing his clothes, Luo Cheng took a closer look and saw that the clothes Liu Xinqi changed were just simple cotton clothes, with only one more long coat than before.Her hair was neatly combed and tied up in a bun.

After Liu Xinqi found a chair and sat down, he invited Luo Cheng.

"Uncle, please stay here for lunch. The big kitchen in this courtyard makes dumplings for lunch. They are stuffed with pork and cabbage. They are delicious."

"Okay, I'll try your food too. We eat pork dumplings all year round. It seems like Liujiabao's life is prosperous." Luo Cheng joked
"No way, everyone has been working very hard recently. I just made a special effort to improve the food today, just in time for my uncle to catch up." Liu Xinqi laughed.

After the second grain ship that went south came back, the food crisis in Liujiabao was completely resolved. Liu Xinqi immediately increased the meal subsidy in the canteen, so that the canteen could see meat and fish every now and then.

The three of them sat together and chatted about the world, interesting folk stories, changes in the DPRK, etc.

"You captured most of the young men from the major families who gathered last time. Later, you barely managed to gather enough young men for 1000 men and let Guo Xuan take them to Jinan. After doing this twice, the big families in Dengzhou were a little hurt. Lost your vitality," Luo Cheng said.

"No way, those big landowners usually treat ordinary people as two-legged beasts, like leeks in the field. Once they are cut, they will grow again. As long as they control the land, this small loss will not hurt their vitality." Liu Xinqi disagreed. .
