Text Chapter 064 Oujia Village

After carefully sizing up dozens of farmers, Ling Shaonan set his sights behind them again—a small mountain village built on the hillside, with most of the houses hidden behind thick, straight and tall trees.Seeing this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It's not that there is anything special or weird about this small mountain village, on the contrary, it looks no different from other rural areas in southern Zhejiang. What really makes Ling Shaonan laugh is: between this small mountain village and the large farmland, there is a The straight gravel road extends to the north and connects with the main road on the other side of the stream through an ancient stone bridge across Longquan Creek.

Right!In this era, apart from the remote mountains and old forests, where is there any paradise-like existence?Before, I thought this place was isolated from the world, but it turned out that I went the wrong way!If you come along the road on the other side of Longquan Creek, you won't have to work so hard to find this place.

Soon, Wei Shaoming also discovered this, and slapped himself on the thigh suddenly: "Hey, third child, the two of us have gone the wrong way! I should have known that there is a road directly leading to here on the other side." , why do we need to run around so hard? Really!"

"Hehe, no matter what the process is, as long as the result is right. Let's go, second brother, I have a hunch that we can find a really good knife here!" Ling Shaonan was also a little depressed, but it was only fleeting, and he recovered soon He came over, reached out and patted Wei Shaoming on the shoulder, and then walked over to the farmers who were working in the fields.

"Hello, big brother, may I bother you?" Walking in front of a farmer who was closest to him, Ling Shaonan ignored the muddy water on the ground, squatted down, and looked at the 27-year-old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. asked.

"Huh?" Hearing this strange voice ringing in his ears, Ou Jiang couldn't help but raised his head in doubt.When he occasionally raised his head before, he also noticed two figures coming down from a distant mountain, but because the distance was too far, he didn't see them clearly. He just thought it was some young man from the village who went to play in the mountain early in the morning. Now when he heard the sound, he realized that it didn't seem to be what he thought.

Looking up, Ou Jiang found that squatting in front of him was an extremely handsome young man who looked less than 20 years old. He was about an inch long, and under his straight hair, his skin was slightly bronzed but It is so delicate that even the most beautiful girl in the village would be jealous when she sees it; the two long eyebrows seem to be dyed with ink, they are black and straight, and they are raised obliquely, making the whole person look high-spirited and extremely beautiful. It is the spirit; the eyes are like the clear water in the deep pool on the mountain next to the village, as if you can see the bottom at a glance, but if you look twice more, you will find that there seems to be something in those clear eyes that cannot be said. People can't help being intoxicated by things that are clear and unclear, and they are reluctant to move away; and under the straight bridge of the nose, there is a kind smile on the lips of moderate thickness, which makes people feel good at first glance , can't help but want to get close.

Ou Jiang had never seen such an outstanding character before, even a man couldn't help but take a second look, as if he could make himself as handsome as the other person.

And looking behind this young man, there is another young man who is slightly older, but not more than 25 years old, standing two or three steps away.Although compared with the young man in front of him, he looks a lot more ordinary, but in all fairness he is also a masculine man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose and square mouth!

"How come there are two such outstanding people in our small mountain village? I haven't heard of it before!" After seeing the faces of the two people in front of him clearly, Ou Jiang couldn't help thinking in his heart, even Ling Shaonan couldn't speak to him. He didn't notice it, and he didn't react until Ling Shaonan repeated it again.

"Ah, hello brother! Are you here to travel? If so, I'm afraid you went wrong. The best scenery in Longquan is in Fengyang Mountain. You should go there. Nong, just go from that road There is a station not far away after crossing the stream. However, you cannot go directly to Fengyang Mountain here, you have to go to the county to transfer trains first!"

Although as early as the end of the 90s, Longquan had withdrawn from the county and established a city, but as a native, Oujiang still used to call it the "county town".

Ou Jiang spoke the local dialect in southern Zhejiang, which was quite different from Mandarin. At least Wei Shaoming couldn't understand it at all.However, this does not bother Ling Shaonan. In the hundreds of years of flying in the sky, in order to let himself understand more interesting things, he has learned a lot of languages, and not only from other countries, but also from many countries in China. Local dialects have been dabbled in. Although they may not be able to speak fluently and standardly like the locals, there is still no problem in communicating with each other.

Therefore, although Ou Jiang's words were said in a hurry, Ling Shaonan could hear them clearly, not bad at all.After Ou Jiang finished speaking, he replied in a local dialect that was almost indistinguishable from the other party: "Thank you for reminding me, but we are not going to Fengyang Mountain, but here to find a place called 'Oujia Village' From the village, brother, do you know where it is?"

"Oujia Village? Hehe, our place is Oujia Village! But we don't have any good things here. It may be a waste of effort for you to come all the way here!" Ling Shaonan's clothes and temperament made it impossible for Oujiang to match him. The local farmers were connected together, but they subconsciously regarded them as city people from the county seat, or even Kuocang City, which was further away.

"You mean this is Oujia Village? That's great! Huh? Brother, can you lend me the shovel in your hand?" Hearing Oujiang say that this is the Oujia Village he was looking for, Ling Shaonan immediately became excited.However, before he could finish speaking, he caught sight of the shovel that Ou Jiang casually put beside him with a random glance, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he became interested.

"Hehe, it's not a good thing for me to just look at it!" With a simple smile, Oujiang handed his shovel to Ling Shaonan without asking what he was doing here.

"Thank you, brother!" He thanked casually, and Ling Shaonan looked at the shovel carefully. After seeing it, he soon realized that his feeling just now was correct, and the steel used for this seemingly ordinary farm tool was actually more The best knife I saw in all the sword shops in Longquan must be good!This surprised him to the extreme.

"Brother, your shovel looks quite sharp, where did you buy it?" While handing the shovel back, Ling Shaonan asked casually.

"Hehe, I didn't buy it. It's made by our own family. It's a bit of craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors. Although we can't do anything else, it's not a problem to get some farm tools for our own use!"

"Did you call?" Ou Jiang's words made Ling Shaonan both surprised and happy. He never thought that after so much effort, it would be so easy to find Oujia Village!In agitated mood, he stood up abruptly, grabbed Oujiang's shoulder, and asked eagerly, "Then can you make swords?"

Although he was excited, Ling Shaonan didn't use much strength because of his perfect control over himself, so although Ou Jiang felt that his shoulders were being grabbed, he felt that Ling Shaonan's strength was slightly stronger than ordinary people's. It's just a little older, and I didn't doubt anything: "Sword? Our genealogy says that someone used to fight in our ancestors, but it disappeared after that, and I don't know. How about it? I'll take you to ask our village chief. He should know."

…………

There are about 800 people in Oujia Village, which is already a large-scale village in the mountainous area of ​​southern Zhejiang. Since all the villagers are named Ou, their village chief is actually the patriarch of this big family. Lofty prestige.

On the way, Ling Shaonan didn't ask any more about making swords, but chatted with Ou Jiang. After exchanging names, he casually talked about what he had seen and heard outside, and Ou Jiang also told them Looking at the plants and trees here, and the anecdotes they heard from the old people, the three of them chatted happily along the way, and soon came to a large courtyard in the middle of the village.

Before entering the courtyard, Ling Shaonan could clearly hear the sound of "clinking" irons coming from inside. When he looked at Ou Jiang with doubts, the latter immediately understood what he meant, and explained with a smile : "The third grandpa is the best blacksmith in our village, and I'm afraid he is teaching his grandson the craft again now. It's okay, come in with me, the third grandpa is a very nice person."

As he said that, Ou Jiang walked over first, slapped the wooden door painted bright red a few times, then pushed the door open and walked in, shouting loudly as he walked: "Third Grandpa, the village There are guests, I will bring them to see you!"

Ling Shaonanhao and Shaoming glanced at each other, and followed Oujiang in.

Entering the courtyard, he raised his eyes and looked around. Ling Shaonan found that this place was different from what he had imagined before. It was not the kind of ancient dwellings, but it was not much different from the buildings in other places: the main room was a row of five brick rooms. There are three wing rooms on the left and right sides of the tile-roofed house. Among them, the sound of blacksmithing that he heard just now came from the southernmost one of the west wing rooms.

While watching, suddenly, the door opened with a "creak", which attracted Ling Shaonan's Wei Shaoming's attention.
