Forty-three unexpected encounters are like death, and the bell rings to find the place where the sound comes from
"Big brother, get ready, everything is under control!"
"Okay, okay, tell the brothers, endure for a few more days, and when the matter is completed, their benefits will definitely be indispensable!"
"Understood, understood! With the eldest brother, the brothers have never been disappointed!"
"Well, go back quickly, be careful that the wall has ears!"
The two of them only said a few words, and then they dispersed. When there was no sound above, Master Ma pulled Xiao Yi and signaled to continue walking. The two cautiously walked back to the secret room, and Master Ma regained his previous look, as if it had never happened.
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Master Ma, you look like a rich man, but you act like it enough!"
Master Ma also laughed,
"Isn't it, after pretending for a long time, you will get used to it!"
Xiao Yi asked him,
"Did you hear what the two said?"
Master Ma nodded, and said,
"I didn't expect that we could gain something from this secret passage! This secret passage is about three feet underground, and the two of them happened to be talking at the vent, so we could hear it clearly inside. I didn't invite these two people, so they could only be from Inuko's friends or Boss Wu. ”
Xiao Yidao,
"Maybe I want your money, and take the opportunity to bring you down, so that I can loot all the belongings in your house! I saw it today, and your horse rope is also surprisingly exquisite, and they can take some casually in this mansion, which is enough to eat and drink for a while!"
Master Ma smiled and replied,
"That's what you think?"
Xiao Yi nodded and replied to him,
"Think about it, the person who will be the emperor in the future is a guest in your place, if there is a mess, then you have to go, and the upper authorities will easily let you go? Even if you have money, so what, the family will lose their lives together, not to mention, I am afraid that many innocent people will be implicated!"
Master Ma thought for a moment and replied,
"What you said also makes sense, it seems that it is really as you said, you must be careful in your actions!"
Xiao Yidao,
"Not only be careful, but also find out as soon as possible, so as to formulate a good way to deal with it! Master Ma, it's not that I'm timid, it's just that this matter is definitely not simple, there are too many people involved, if there is an accident, I'm afraid that you and I can't afford it!"
Only then did Master Ma accept the face of the rich man, and nodded seriously,
"Okay, listen to you, I'll arrange manpower immediately. You can also help me pay more attention, so that I don't overlook important clues for a while!"
Xiao Yidao,
"Understood! It's getting messy!"
Master Ma was a little worried, but he was not afraid at all. Return,
"Go back quickly, don't be suspicious. ”
The two of them went out of the secret room, Xiao Yi quietly returned to the residence, and just wanted to enter the door, he saw a familiar figure beside him. Xiao Yi understood who it was, gestured to him, and the two of them went into another room together. Xiao Yi entered the door and asked softly,
"Clear, why are you waiting for me here?"
Clearly,
"I saw you and Master Ma behaving during the day, and I knew that something was wrong, and sure enough, when you went out in the middle of the night, I was waiting outside. If someone comes to investigate, I can cover it up for you!"
Xiao Yi pulled the monk and said to him,
"Clearly, you can know about this, and you must not tell a third person to know!"
Clearly,
"I know that many of the guests in this Ma Mansion have already begun to move, but I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Master Ma, as well as the ...... on the top of the mountain."
Xiao Yidao,
"Clearly, you're observant. I just met with Master Ma and mentioned this matter, and I overheard someone talking, and the other party's purpose has been revealed!"
The monk nodded and said,
"Now that Master Ma knows about this, he will definitely take precautions, so we don't have to worry too much!"
Xiao Yi asked with a smile,
"Clear, you believe in Master Ma so much?"
The monk smiled,
"The so-called wise and foolish, Master Ma always gives people the posture of a rich businessman, but his shrewdness is likely to be beyond your imagination!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"So you can see it! I can't hide anything from you, don't you want to be more shrewd?!"
Clearly,
"Go back quickly, don't let anyone get noticed!"
Xiao Yi said goodbye and went back to his room, Tong Lu turned over, and then went to sleep.
Xiao Yi lay on the bed, couldn't sleep for a long time, until the sky was white, then went out to practice boxing, after sweating, the whole person got up, and waited until everyone got up, and went to drink and eat together. I had to eat and drink early in the morning, and except for the old drunkard, everyone else was very uncomfortable.
The seemingly calm undercurrent of the Ma family's house is surging, and Xiao Yi understands it in his heart, but he can only pay more attention to it. A few people had nothing to do, went to ride a horse again, and then went out and came to Changsha City to hang out.
"Brother Ironstone, Brother Ironstone!"
Everyone stopped, because there was a woman standing at the entrance of the street, crying like pear blossoms and rain, she ran over and grabbed the iron stone,
"Brother Tieshi, you forgive Yun'er, Yun'er told you everything, don't ignore Yun'er!"
Tieshi didn't react, no matter how she called, he didn't make a sound. Xiao Yi saw that he still didn't have a trace of color, so he pulled Xu Yun'er away and said,
"You don't have to worry about it first, when he is more sober, it'll be fine. He seems to have lost his soul now, and no matter what you say, he will hardly respond!"
Xu Yun'er burst into tears, and Xiao Yi said again,
"The more you cry, the harder it will be for him to calm down, and the harder it will be!"
Xu Yun'er stopped crying at this time, and Xiao Yi motioned for him to go back and rest first, and if Tieshi got better, he would take him over to see her. Xu Yun'er left, Tie Shi didn't even look at it, and Xiao Yi didn't have much to do, so he had to continue to walk around with him.
There are many shops in this Changsha city, but there are not many customers, and most of them have already closed. Coming to a street, Tieshi stopped, just staring ahead. As soon as Xiao Yi saw it, he already understood that there was a blacksmith shop in front of him, and the street was surprisingly quiet at this time, although the sound of the iron making was not loud, but it was still heard clearly. The sound is fast-paced, crisp and pleasant, coming from the deep alley, which makes people yearn for it. Xiao Yi was in a good mood when he heard this, not to mention Tieshi!
And when they understood, they all stopped and waited for him. This alley is only three feet wide, paved with small bluestone, but it is not very regular, there are stone pits everywhere, not far from the mouth of the alley, and it has been flooded, which looks a little slippery. Tieshi listened to this alley for a long time, his legs trembled a little, and he wanted to go forward but forced himself to take it back.
Xiao Yi asked him,
"Ironstone, how long has it been since you touched it, do you remember something?"
Iron Stone didn't reply, just bit his lip. Xiao Yi said again,
"I don't even have a decent harness, I wanted you to help me, hey, you may have forgotten how to do it. Forget it, I'll go over and make a set, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll be back soon!"
After speaking, Xiao Yi entered the alley and looked for the place where the voice came from. He had just taken two steps, but he heard Iron Stone speak,
"Xiao Yi, wait!"
Since learning the truth yesterday, Tie Shi has never said a word, and finally speaking at this time also made Xiao Yi feel a lot more relieved. It turned out that he still couldn't let go of this craft, how could a person with such a high heart give up casually!
Xiaoshan turned back to him and asked,
"How?"
The iron and stone are standing up,
"I, I, this harness, harness......"
He couldn't tell for a while, but who couldn't guess his thoughts! Xiao Yi replied to him with a smile,
"You want to say, let you make this harness!"
Tie Shi nodded, but did not speak, Xiao Yi said again,
"Since you're here, why don't you borrow someone else's place and use it, let's make a pair here, okay?"
ironstone road,
"Is that good?"
Xiao Yi came over and grabbed his hand, and said,
"Anyway, it's all about earning money to eat, and I definitely won't treat others badly!"
The two walked into the alley together, and the rest of the people also talked and laughed and followed behind, and Lao Zhaohua took out the big chicken leg in the bag and gnawed it, he was also in a good mood, and he also distributed it to everyone one by one.
When I came to the blacksmith's shop, the door was only open through a small crack, and when I looked through the crack, there was a candle flame lit inside, and the sparks splashed in all directions, which was very dazzling. After watching for a while, although the people inside had already noticed that there was someone at the door, they did not hurry to continue to beat, and it took a while before stopping. When he opened the door, Xiao Yi saw that the man was in his thirties, his face was full of stubble, he looked very rough, he was shirtless, his muscles were extremely tight, his body was full of sweat, shiny and shiny, a blue handkerchief in his hand had already turned black, and he wiped it so indiscriminately on his body, although he wiped off the sweat, he left a lot of black marks. When the man saw so many people, he was a little curious and asked,
"What are you going to do? I don't have any ready-made goods here, only ready-made goods!"
Xiao Yidao,
"This old man, would it be good to borrow this place from you?"
The man was stunned and replied,
"But you can, you don't want to come by yourself, do you?!"
Xiao Yi nodded,
"Exactly! Our little brother has learned this craft since he was a child, and when he sees your shop, he is also itchy!"
The man looked at the iron stone, nodded slightly, and said,
"Go ahead, although it's a little messy, all the tools you can use are available!"
The iron stone thanked the man, pushed the door in, and closed it again, so that only a crack was exposed, as they had done when they first came.
There were several long bars of iron at the door of the shop, and the man moved them, and put them on the stones on both sides to form a bench, and he invited them to sit down, and he went to fetch a bucket of water not far away. Xiao Yi took a sip, it was cold and cold, and it was slightly sweet, which was very refreshing. Xiao Yi asked him to sit down, and several people started talking,
"This big brother, how long have you been running this shop, you said that you only do the goods ordered, it seems that the business is also good!"
The man laughed,
"It's been open for more than half a year, and I've been busy all day long, and I've hardly broken it!"
Xiao Yi praised,
"No wonder, your flesh is so strong, I envy it when I see it!"
The man laughed, very boldly,
"Awards, awards! You are also here to participate in the martial arts conference, right? I have made blades for many heroes in the rivers and lakes these days, and you come to me to take advantage of the blades!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"That's not necessary, I'm just missing a pair of harnesses, just so that my brother can practice his hands!"
The man laughed,
"I see, I haven't done that thing in a long time, if I were asked to do it now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it anymore!"
Lao Zhaohua felt bored, so he dragged the old drunkard around, and Tong Lu also followed, leaving only Ming Ming to accompany the two.
The man came over and respectfully gave Ming a look, Ming stood up and returned the salute, the human,
"Master, as soon as I see you, I know that you are extraordinary!"
The monk smiled and replied,
"I'm just here to join in the fun!"
And he said,
"I also tried it the day before, but unfortunately it was only after one beat!
Clearly,
"We were lucky to have won three games!"
The man exclaimed,
"I've heard people say that there are very few knights who can challenge success, and you can be regarded as top warriors, admire and admire!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"The so-called art industry has a specialty, and you are also the best among the craftsmen, aren't you!"
The man touched his arm and smiled very cutely, and said,
"I, too, turned out to be just an ordinary ironworker, but I was selected by someone by chance, and this has improved a little. ”
Xiao Yi asked him,
"Hey, I don't know who it is?"
The man touched his head and said,
"He came to me for a month and never told me who he was. I called him master, but he didn't respond, hey, I didn't know who to go to if I wanted to repay his kindness! When he left, it was the same as when he came, and there was no sound at all!"
Xiao Yi nodded,
"Sure enough, it's a strange person, and a strange person does things, and it's always hard to guess. ”
The man laughed,
"Since he left, my business has been getting better and better, and now, I can't get busy!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Then aren't we delaying your business today?"
The man replied,
"It's nothing, I rarely take a break and do more later, that's it!"
Xiao Yidao,
"It's really righteous! We've been talking for so long, and I still don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
The man was so unfortunate that he immediately replied,
"My name is Tian Ye, the smelting ye, and there are two in the thirties of this Chinese New Year's Eve. My father and mother gave me a smelting word, and coincidentally, I liked to listen to the sound of the iron since I was a child, and over time, I fell in love with this craft. Later, he became a blacksmith, maybe, this is what he was meant to be!Haha, I don't know what you should call it?"
Xiao Yi replied to him,
"I'm Xiao Yi, he knows, the one inside is called Tieshi, the iron-hearted Tieshi! You are a few years older than us, and you are the big brother!"
The man laughed and replied,
"I am fortunate to meet you today, I will stay today, brother, I will be the east, and I will shine for you!"
Xiao Yi asked with a smile,
"What's the job?"
Na Tian Ye pretended to be deep and said,
"This is going to be kept secret, you are waiting for me here, and you will be back soon!"
He got up and ran away, still telling in his mouth,
"Wait for me, wait for me, and be back soon!"
Xiao Yi and the two looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that this person had no scheming and was worthy of deep friendship.
At this moment, there was a beating in the shop, and after a few sounds, it fell silent again. Xiao Yi leaned over to the crack in the door and looked inside, and the iron stone slowly and leisurely fiddled with the charcoal fire, thoughtfully. Only he can solve his own thoughts, so leave him alone and let him do it himself!
Xiao Yi and Ming talked for a while, and Tian Ye came back with a lot of things, wrapped in clothes, and couldn't guess what it was! But that thing was drenched and sprinkled with water, it should be some river fresh. Tian Ye mysteriously opened the shop door, took out a small charcoal stove and stone pot from the inside, and placed them firmly before starting a fire.
Not long after, the charcoal fire in the furnace was very strong, and the weather was already hot, and it made people sweat incessantly. Tian Ye put the stone pot on it and burned it empty. After burning for a while, a delicate iron compartment was placed in the stone cauldron, and judging by the degree of fit, it seemed to be specially prepared for this stone cauldron. When the pot was extremely hot, Tian Ye opened the clothes, and there was a bunch of small shrimp inside, which were fresh, and many of them jumped out of the pot and were picked up by Tian Ye one by one. He smiled at Xiao Yi and the others and said,
"Master Ma has too many good things, no one eats this thing, but it happens to be cheaper for us! This thing cooks quickly, if the heat is too high, it won't be delicious!"
The field poured all the shrimp into it, and the compartment just blocked the shrimp, and the gap in the middle was small, and the shrimp couldn't fall down. Tian Ye he, he took a small gourd out of his arms, he shook it a few times, it should be filled with liquid, as for what it is, it is unknown!
TIAN Yedao,
"Look at it!"
Tian Ye opened the gourd and poured the liquid inside into the stone pot, and the stone pot immediately emitted a lot of smoke, and he quickly closed the lid again. There was a small hole in the lid of the pot, and a thin puff of smoke came out of it, and it was sprayed high. Xiao Yi and the others looked at the pot, and their mouths couldn't close.
Tian Ye said,
"Count from one to twenty!"
He read it softly, and when he reached twenty, he quickly opened the lid. A burst of strong fragrance spread, which made Xiaoyi's mouth open. He swallowed his saliva and stared at Tian Ye, who picked up the stone pot and poured all the small shrimp on top of the clothes that had wrapped the shrimp before. He said happily,
"Come and try it, if it's cold, the taste will be much worse!"
Xiao Yi hurriedly came over and tasted two bites, sure enough, it was very delicious, the heat was just right, the shrimp meat was very tender and smooth, and it was extremely delicious! Tian Ye looked at Xiao Yi's expression, and also understood, and said,
"Oh, Master Ming, I'm really sorry, I'm so busy, I forgot that you don't eat this thing!
Ming was about to reply, but he heard another person's voice sound,
"No sin, no sin!"
The three of them turned around, and the old flower had already arrived in front of them, and when they saw the shrimp, their eyes were also shining.
"You three, don't call me if you have something good to eat! Tsk, this thing looks really good! Let me taste it, let me taste it!"
Lao Zhaohua grabbed a large handful of small bright red shrimp and put them in his mouth one by one, he shook his head and savored them.
Xiao Yi smiled,
"You eat slowly, no one will rob you!"
Lao Zhaohua quickly finished eating, grabbed another handful, and asked,
"Xiao Yi, this is what you did?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, pointed at Tian Ye with one hand, and Lao Hua squatted down, looked at Tian Ye with a smile, and asked him,
"Little brother, how do you make this shrimp?
Tian Ye shook his head, but Xiao Yi spoke first,
"Oh, it's always called Hua, look at it, the old drunkards have drunkard wine, don't you want to call it Hua Shrimp?!"
