enchanting blacksmith

one two three four five six seven.

This fire kiln is the place where the blacksmith usually works. I like it very much. From ### I follow the blacksmith to pass water and wipe sweat. At this time, the blacksmith always takes a break, hugs me and puts me on his lap, loving Carefully stroking my golden hair, the blacksmith said thankfully you were here, and I didn't feel tired at all at this time.

The blacksmith's big hands were very rough, and the backs of his hands were covered with pockmarks from the splashing sparks, but his palms were soft, and it was comfortable and warm to put on my face.I just don't like his beard, it's itchy and painful when stuck on his face.

But the blacksmith is dead, and he will never pick me up and spin around again, and bring me back beautiful pastries, or take me to the hills on a snowy winter day to chase short-tailed gray hares, and I'm sad, But it cannot be undone.

So I tied a rope tightly around the blacksmith's neck, arms, and legs, and the other end of the rope hung high on the horseshoe frame.He maintained the posture of blacksmithing as before, with glaring eyebrows and tense muscles. He swung the huge hammer in his hand and hit the red iron bar in front of him hard. Sparks splashed, and the veins on his shoulders and neck burst out, like Samson. .

The emaciated apprentice Amanda lay slumped in a damp corner, with a trace of overflowing well water hanging from her mouth.

Uncle Walker who weaves willow baskets, Little Douzi who can run around everywhere, the rascal Xiao Wu, Constance who has a bad nose, Ji Lun who can talk and sing, and the coquettish Ellie widow who is good at seducing other men. . . . . .Everyone was doing their own things, and the floor was full of glass marbles, hoes, clothes, wheels, silver coins, dishes, and blood.

That's great, the whole village gathered in the blacksmith's fire kiln. It's never been so lively here. After I fell ill, it became even more desolate. Only Qixi came back to visit me occasionally, but was chased away by the blacksmith who became more and more eccentric. Let's go, the blacksmith always scolded Qixi loudly, telling her to get out and never come back again, Qixi obediently left, sneaked in when the blacksmith was not at home, and I hid in the house with Qixi behind the dirty curtain. Chatting one after another, we talked about the city of Dema that we had never seen before, about the tall mercenaries who sometimes passed by the village, and some legends such as orcs, elves, gods and demons. Qixi giggled and rarely interrupted.

Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.

But now the furnace is quiet again, only my busy footsteps kick up the dust on the ground.

Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one.

When I was seventeen or eighteen years old, before I got sick, Qixi and I were both beautiful and well-known girls in the village. The widows in their mid-mature age always watched us play together with envious eyes, making sour jokes We don't understand human affairs, we are tired of being together all day long and don't know what to do. The widow said that you will separate in two years. After all, you are going to marry a man. Good guys like you two will definitely be killed by the nobles in the city Take it away, and then you will become a canary in a cage!

Qixi and I were very afraid, for fear that Ellie's widow's prophecy would come true, so we didn't want to separate all day and night, for fear that we would never see each other again.

I lay tiredly in the reeds, and the fine teeth on the edge of the reed leaves drew many strips of red marks on the back of my chest.I tried to keep my eyes open, sweat oozing from every pore, my body was a little numb, and my pupils twitched to the point of twisting, but I still tried to keep my eyes open.

The water has just covered Qixi's knees, and Qixi is as enchanting as I am, with a slender waist and pink areola. Her short hair is wet, and strands of her hair are stuck to her forehead.Qixi was very happy with her appearance, she turned her head to look at her back covered with fine wounds, her eyes wandered to the images of buttocks and calves refracted in the clear stream, she wiped her skin with soft river water, danced her limbs, and performed Temptation like a water demon; looking around, there are already a lot of styles.

I tied up my long messy hair again, and walked slowly towards Qixi, once again I was naked.

The moment my toes touched the icy cold river, Qixi exhaled, and her crisp laughter splashed the water.She ran over and hooked my neck and called me sister.

She said sister, I need you.

I joked with Qixi, I said that my sister is the king, and Qixi is my sister's princess.

The two of us gasped heavily to frighten the fish away, muddy mud appeared at the bottom of the river, the sky was blue, and the gray clouds bloomed into a huge crown.

Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight.

On the table was half a chicken, some loaves of brown bread, a heap of groundnuts, and a jug of ale.Constance shook the four seasons fan and talked about the palace hall of the wolf king Lonto Gay in the former dynasty: the throne was set facing south, with hundreds of steps high, looking down at the world; Surname Yangshou. . . . . .

The blacksmith paused his glass and asked with a playful smile, have you ever been there?Constance didn't say a word, and coughed after gulping it down, and the kiln was filled with acrid smell.

Twenty-nine, thirty, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35.

I knelt by my side to rest, and the work just now took all my strength.I carved dozens of cupboard holes on the wall of the kiln, and people read, weaved, napped, washed, and cried in the holes.I raised my head to see the people who were neatly hung on the iron hooks on the top of the kiln and bowed to the north.

36, 37, 38, 39, forty, 41, 42.

For some reason, my body started to change as I got older.

Instead of being satin smooth, my skin began to crack and wrinkle, and my body felt like rough, dry bark.My seaweed-like hair also lost its luster, and the hair became thicker day by day, covered with barbs, and the original bright gold began to turn into a strange green, like thorny vines wrapped around the trunk, Dry, horrible.

Especially my face, my facial features began to show signs of peeling off, blood vessels and hideous muscles protruded from the numerous cracks in the skin on my face, I never dared to go out again, I was afraid of scaring Qixi, so I dared not go to the river again She played and was bored at home all day.

The blacksmith sold his anvil and all the agricultural tools and weapons he worked so hard to forge, and invited a doctor from the distant city of Dema to treat me. The doctor shook his head after taking a look at me and left. A famous doctor, he asked the blacksmith if this girl is your own daughter, the blacksmith hesitated for a while, then nodded with difficulty.

The doctor sighed, and stuffed a heavy gold coin into the blacksmith's hand, he said, don't worry about your daughter anymore, she is not sick, she is just old enough to go back, you stay Can't live.

After speaking, the very kind and kind doctor touched my spiky hair, turned around and left. I still vaguely remember his name: Abigail.

I was crying sadly in the room, Qixi gently caressed my shattered cheeks, and comforted me softly, she said that no matter what I become, she will always be with me and never leave.

Widow Ellie's words came true, and the reputation of Qixi's beauty has spread to the city of Dema. A fat old man came to the village in a very luxurious carriage, and left behind when he left. A bag of gold coins is used as a betrothal gift, and it is scheduled to pick up Qixi in the warm spring of next year.

Qixi invited me to an appointment by the frozen river, and asked me for advice in a panic. I like Qixi's current appearance very much, with plain clothes and wisps of siren heads covering her smooth forehead. The mist spit out from some parched lips dissipated in the air, the withered yellow reed leaves by the river were blown by the biting cold wind, and stuck to Qixi's face, Qixi stretched out two onion-like jade fingers and spread them apart, quietly looking at me.

The two of us were naked again, entangled, this is the first time we have had a passionate time together since I was sick, and Hedy, who was so soft every time, started to go crazy, we were on the frozen river Rolling up and down, the skin of both of us was frozen bloody from the ice, until we were so exhausted that we couldn't breathe.

That night, I knelt outside Qixi's house, and I couldn't understand why Constance refused to marry Qixi to me.In the thatched hut, Qixi sobbed softly, begged bitterly, and then fell silent.The blacksmith squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers, and he dragged me home, talking about evildoers, evildoers.

No one is willing to forgive me, not even Qixi.She no longer caresses my long hair lovingly, no longer wraps around me like a snake and kisses every inch of my skin, no longer calls me sister, no longer breathes, she stabs me with a pair of scissors In her own heart, Qixi knows more than I do. It turned out that she knew that we could not be together forever, so she chose to wait, waiting for my arrival in another world with a smile on her face.

No one would allow me to look at her again. No matter how much I struggled and shouted, someone would beat me hard, drag me and throw me away from the village.

That night, I sat by the only well in the whole village, and only left for a while. When I came back, I gritted my teeth and poured the green powder from the oiled paper bag in my hand into the well.

43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48.

I sat on the bamboo chair facing south, kissed Qixi's dry cheek lightly, and hugged her tightly, no one dared to stop me.I said to Qixi, you can finally be your sister's princess.

The fire is raging outside the kiln, and I will always be the king of 48 mummies, with my Hedy.

Inside the fire kiln, the flames were dazzling, all the ministers kowtowed nine times, and the mountain shouted long live: auspicious energy rose, and all the surnames looked up...

"what!"

Shirley woke up from the dream, and sat up on the cold stone bed in horror. Since the Worf Kingdom returned to this tree-human settlement, Shirley has experienced the same dream every day, and the huge wound in her heart is always there. It was torn apart again bloody before it healed.

Xueli calmed down, groped and opened the thick curtains in the dark, and the sunlight outside the window came in, and Xueli felt that she was still in the world. At this time, Xueli heard a knock on the door, and there was a tree man outside the door. The guard announced in a deep and slow voice: "His Royal Highness, the captain of the guard has brought back four human guests, and we will meet you in the hall."
