"You are not a filial son! If you don't inherit the ancestral business, it's just that, even Huozheng's tablet has been overturned and broken into two, how is this good! This makes our family how to strike iron in the future!"

The old woman sat on the ground, weeping, and from time to time she slapped the floor with her hands.

Not far in front of her, there was a young man kneeling, pale, haggard, and wine-colored in transition, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"What's going on?" In the crowd, Qiu Yan found a place to stand and asked.

The people next to him glanced at him, saw the Confucian clothes he was wearing, and held a long sword in his hand, and immediately stood in awe, and whispered: "Mr. is passing by the study tour? I don't know what happened to our Xingtai Town, it's normal, this is the orphan and widow of the old Liu family......

A few people next to him seemed to be taking pictures of Qiu Yan's pretence, so they told everything.

Originally, this town is called Xingtai Town, and it is rumored that it is the Xingtai of the ancient country of Bashu, which is used to observe the Shang Star and formulate the calendar, but thousands of years have passed, and the ruins of the ancient country have long been gone, and only the name Xingtai and the sacrifice to Huozheng remain.

Shang Xing, also known as Yingfu, is said to have been incarnated by the god of fire, so the people of this village are still on fire.

Today, the village is a well-known blacksmith town, and there are many blacksmith shops in the town, all of which have been handed down from ancestors.

The woman who was crying was one of them, and the one kneeling in front of her was named Liu Xin, who was the heir of the craftsman's generation. It's just that this person is not a person who does not learn, he is idle all day long, and he is also infected with the vice of gambling, his father died a year ago, this Liu Xin did not inherit the ancestral business, but squandered the family's savings, causing the store to close.

Not long after, when his savings ran out, he planned to sell the property to pay off his debts, but his mother stopped him, and the two argued. Inadvertently, he knocked over the Huozheng tablet at home, and the tablet fell to the ground and broke into two.

This time, the mother and son were scared a lot.

Hearing this, Qiu Yan's heart moved, and he asked directly: "I don't know what is special about this Huozheng tablet?"

"Mr. is a scholar, so he naturally doesn't know the role of the Huozheng tablet, our Xingtai Town, our ancestors have relied on the fire for generations. Some make iron, some make pottery, but there is also a trick in it, which is that the fire is ......."

The person who was asked by Qiu Yan was about to elaborate, when someone next to him suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes, made him come back to his senses, and hurriedly changed his words: "In short, the fire is on, bless me and others." Those enshrined tablets are all handed down from ancestors, and once broken, they may anger the gods!"

"I see, thank you for informing me. Qiu Yan listened to the other party's words. He knew that he had something to hide, and he didn't ask about it, but he already had a guess in his heart, and even thought of an idea that made him urgent. It's just a temporary push.

At this time, the more the old woman sat on the ground cried, the more sad she became, and Zuihou shouted that she wanted to sue the official. Treat Liu Xin as an unfilial piety.

Listening to it, Hu Qi and Dai Guo couldn't help but be speechless, and asked in a low voice: "Can this mother sue her son?"

When Qiu Yan heard this, he knew that Hu Qi and Dai Guo had doubts, so he explained: "Da Rui's law says that parents can discipline their descendants, but they can't hurt their lives, but if their children have been, their parents can accept them on their behalf according to the law, and in the same way, if the children and grandchildren are not filial, the parents can also sue the officials, and the interrogation is true.

"Good boy!"

Qiu Yan's words, of course, shocked Hu Qi and Dai Guo's hearts, and sighed at the power of the law, even the people around them gasped, and Liu Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, heard it clearly, and immediately changed his complexion, knelt on the ground, took his mother's hand, cried, begged again and again, and changed his mouth.

The old woman cried to herself: "Son, now that you know that you are afraid, when you interrupt the fire, have you ever thought about today? Now that the tablet handed down by the ancestors has been destroyed, and the fire in the furnace will be difficult to rise in the future, how can you make iron and fry steel?"

"En?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan's face changed, and he turned to the person next to him and asked, "What's the matter?

"What wind?" said the questioner, with a puzzled look on his face, "I've never heard of that name." ”

He didn't know how much of a shock this simple sentence had caused to Qiu Yan, and it also had a violent impact on his mind!

Slightly retracting his mood, Qiu Yan's eyes turned, carefully looked at the other party's face, and at the same time released his perception, realizing that the other party had no signs of fraud, and it was clear to him.

"What do you use to make iron for heating, and you don't use wind fur?"

When the man heard this, his face changed sharply, and he reprimanded: "You are so unruly, this is my method of waiting for dinner, how can I tell me at will?"

But in the face of the reprimand, Qiu Yan had no intention of listening, he raised his eyes and looked around the town a few times, and his eyes fell on the small river that ran through the town.

There was nothing on the river.

"No air blowers, no drains......"

The wind fur is the wind bag.

Qiu Yan had read an article in his previous life, which was related to this.

Originally, he was trapped in the mountain temple for eighty years of loneliness, and his memory was already a little blurred, but now the incense is becoming more and more prosperous, and after receiving the incense, his memory is becoming more and more amazing, and the scattered memories of his previous life are gradually revealed, and the memories are becoming clearer and clearer.

The article was about the ancient iron-smelting industry, but it was not about iron, but about blast furnaces, fuel, and blowers.

Ancient iron smelting and steelmaking, the same need to be heated, the flame in the simple blast furnace, its temperature is limited after all, it is necessary to use a blower to heat the wind, this blower bag is a kind of blower, but also the most primitive, ancient one, it stands to reason that these craftsmen's homes are handed down from their ancestors, even if they don't read, they should have an impression, but the man said that he had never heard of it.

"No, when I read the Book of Rites at home, I remember that there is such a sentence on it, 'The son of Liangye must learn to be Qiu', which means that haode smelting and casting craftsmen must learn to make wind fur, in ancient times, the social division of labor was not clear, and there were not too many handicraftsmen, so the smelting and casting people had to make their own blowers, so there was such a sentence, why did they not remember it now?"

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, the essence in his eyes flickered, and his mood was a little agitated.

"From the old woman's words, it can be inferred that this blacksmith of Shijie wants to heat the furnace, and he relies on ......."

"Shinto...... Humanitarian...... I see, I see, I understand! Sure enough, I have to travel thousands of miles to know, in that Yuanning Mansion, I have never entered the blacksmith shop, and I have never paid attention to it, I did not expect that there will be such a big difference in this detail! My previous thinking was imprisoned by the common sense of my previous life!"

Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed through his heart, and gradually sorted out into several.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan's eyes turned, and his gaze fell on the woman's body, and a thought flooded into his heart.

So, he took a step, and the energy of his body flowed, like a swimming fish, shuttling forward in the crowd, and as long as anyone along the way was touched by him, he would naturally slide aside.

Hu Qi and Dai Guo glanced at each other, puzzled, but they also followed, but as soon as they were halfway through the crowd, Qiu Yan had already walked up to the old woman.

"This lady, what you are worried about, but the furnace temperature is not enough, it is difficult to make iron and steel, but there is a way to help you, if you have the heart, you might as well let me try. ”

"Are you ......" The old woman looked up and saw Qiu Yan's appearance and dress, and her face changed slightly.

Qiu Yan was talking about the Darui Law in the crowd just now, and she also heard it, and she originally wanted to sue her son, but she knew that she might be killed, and cut off the incense of the old Liu family, so she put out her thoughts, just thinking that her son was unfilial and ashamed of his ancestors, and she couldn't bear to be sad, and in a hurry, she leaked the secret of the town.

In the crowd, there were also people who made a living as blacksmiths, and after hearing this, they all changed color, and a few of them were about to step forward, but when they saw Hu Qi and Dai Guo walking to Qiu Yan's side, they stopped one after another.

When these two big men with big shoulders and round waists went there, they immediately extinguished many people's minds.

"I'm afraid this gentleman has misunderstood...... the old woman shook her head and said, "I just think that my son is unwilling to inherit the ancestral business, and has no other intentions." ”

"Auntie doesn't have to say much, I know your concerns, but you have to think clearly, since you can only turn around by asking God, and there is nothing you can do at the moment, why not give it a try, I don't ask for the secret of your family, just make one thing for you, whether it works or not, you have no loss." ”

After the words fell, he turned his head to look at Liu Xin beside the old woman, and said with a smile: "This Brother Liu, I see that your eyebrows are full of remorse, you should already know that it is powerful, but it is difficult to collect it, if there is no one to help, your shop is certainly difficult to return to the sky, I am afraid that you will accidentally have to eat a lawsuit, it is best to think twice." ”

That Liu Xin heard the law of Da Rui before, he had lost his bearings, and when he saw the appearance of his mother, he also felt remorse, but he didn't know how to deal with it, but now after listening to Qiu Yan's words, he was a little moved, thinking that the other party was a scholar, he should not be untargeted, so he ignored the eyes of several people in the crowd and asked for help.

Qiu Yan nodded: "Okay! If you can stop gambling, you can do something." After saying this, he turned around and walked outside, Hu Qi and Dai Guo hurriedly followed when they saw this, and the surrounding crowd also separated a way, letting the three of them leave.

After walking away, Dai Guo couldn't help but say, "Childe, why do you have to join in this fun? ”

Qiu Yan said: "The reason why I made a move is not only for these people, but also for other purposes, and if I can help, it is also a good deed, and if I can't touch it, since I did, there is no reason not to save it." By the way, you go to the forest to get some wood, Hu Qi, you go to the town and ask who has a fur ......."

He described the thoughts in his heart, naturally there is no need to be polite with the two, otherwise it will be outside.

Although Hu Qi and the others did not know in their hearts, they still took the order and left.

Qiu Yan closed his eyes, stood silent, recalled the article he had read in his previous life, and used the incense of the deity to meditate in his heart, combining, arranging, and gradually, the outline of the blower was established in his mind. (To be continued......)
