Chapter 43 The figure under the moonlight (fourth update)
In the evening, Jiang Lin glanced at the message when he walked out of the blacksmith shop.
[Skill 1: Fire Level 6 (Proficiency 4818/5000)]
He nodded slightly. The four stoves were burning together very quickly. He should be able to reach level 7 in his fire-making skills in one day.
I don’t know if there are any other improvements besides the original effect.
When they arrived at the dining tent, most of the people had already finished eating and left, and some apprentices were dawdling to clean up. When they saw Jiang Lin coming, they all waved quickly.
"Master Jiang, we will clean it up soon!"
"Look at what's missing, just say it!"
These people obviously wanted to take credit, Jiang Lin also said a few nice words to save face, and they left with satisfaction.
After opening the lid of the pot and taking the rice, Jiang Lin ran to Old Man Wei and said while eating: "I should be able to become a formal blacksmith during the regular test this year. The Foundry Department will allocate real estate by then. Can we live together?"
Although Old Man Wei was born in the frontier army, he suffered from old injuries in his early years. Now that he is older, Jiang Lin is always worried that something will happen to him quietly one day.
If they can move in together, it will be easier to take care of them.
Old Man Wei turned to look at him: "Why do you bring me a burden when you have nothing to do?"
"Then I also want to ask you why you left an extra bowl of rice for nothing." Jiang Lin said.
Old Man Wei seemed to understand what he meant, but he didn't answer. He just stood up, patted the dust on his butt, led the donkey cart and left.
Jiang Lin was used to him being taciturn. He just thought that Master Wei didn't seem to like living with others.
If he refuses, do I need to persuade him any more?
It's better to persuade him. The old man wants to save face. If he talks a few more times, he might agree.
Jiang Lin actually didn't think Old Man Wei was a burden. He just felt that if someone was kind to him, he should repay him no matter what.
There isn't much I can do at the moment, so moving in together to help take care of her is my best effort.
Old man Wei, who was leading the donkey cart, looked back at the young man sitting under the rice tent, pulling his rice bowl.
The bright moonlight made it seem like one could clearly see him chewing every grain of rice.
So serious, so patient.
It can be finished in just three or two bites, but it always seems like you are tasting some delicacy.
He knows how to cherish it.
Old Man Wei turned back and continued to lead the donkey cart forward.
When he arrived at the house where he lived, he opened the door and went in. He came out soon after and left the blacksmith camp.
Walking slowly along the road, crossing the stone bridge and passing through a forest, the huge training ground was already visible.
Nanling Camp!
Old Man Wei didn't come here often, and it was nothing important. He was determined not to disturb his former colleagues.
The soldier at the door was very familiar with him, so he ran over and asked, "Master Wei, why are you here so late?"
"General Liao Shen, please come out and talk." Old Man Wei said.
The soldier didn't persuade him to go in and wait. He turned around and ran into the camp.
Not long after, Liao Mingxu ran over wiping the grease on his lips and laughed from a distance: "Master Wei came just in time. We roasted a few sheep today. The brothers are drinking, so you can join us!"
"No."
Old Man Wei shook his head and handed over what he was holding: "This is the blood-changing pill."
"What?"
Liao Mingxu took it from his hand and wrapped it in three layers with linen. After he opened it layer by layer, he was slightly startled.
It was a knife, made entirely of silver, with various complicated patterns on the surface, and the handle was wrapped in delicate lambskin.
There is a gem engraved on the scabbard, which looks very precious.
Liao Mingxu looked surprised and said, "Isn't this what you captured when you fought against Dayuan?" Old Wei didn't take many things with him when he left the border army, and this knife was one of the few items.
To say it's expensive, it's not too expensive, but it's of great significance.
After getting this trophy, Old Man Wei was promoted to a hundred households.
Over the years, he has always kept it and never thought of using it.
But now, he brought it to Liao Mingxu to exchange Qi and Blood Pills.
Liao Mingxu immediately understood his purpose and asked, "Is it for the boy called Jiang Lin? Leave it to me and I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow."
Liao Mingxu said and returned the knife.
Although the Qi and Blood Pill is precious, it is not a rare thing for a third-grade ginseng general.
Old Man Wei always lowered his hands, showing no intention of taking them.
"One thing for another, you don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
His eyes were obviously cloudy, but they felt unusually firm.
Liao Mingxu understood his character and knew that his decision would not be changed by anyone.
It's just that he can't quite understand, is that boy named Jiang Lin worth doing this?
Although Liao Mingxu also liked Jiang Lin's character and conduct, he heard that it seemed that he had entered the South Blacksmith Camp not long ago, right?
Two months? Or three months?
Even if it takes half a year, it's not worth asking Old Man Wei to use this knife to exchange for Qi and Blood Pills.
"He said that when he becomes a blacksmith, he will let me move in with him." Old Man Wei suddenly said.
Liao Mingxu was stunned for a moment. These words sounded very ordinary, but he heard something different.
Old Man Wei had never married a wife in his life, and after he retired from the border army, he had very little contact with others.
Even though there were countless people coming and going in the blacksmith camp over the years, only a few could really talk to him.
This is a lonely old man who lives almost exclusively in his own world for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he recognized Jiang Lin and was recognized by Jiang Lin.
Are these father-in-law and father-in-law going to become real father-in-law?
There was a smile in Liao Mingxu's eyes and he said: "Okay, it would be good to find a grandson to take care of you until you die."
"I don't recognize him as my grandson." Old Man Wei said, with an unexplainable stubbornness in his words.
"Okay, okay, I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it." Liao Mingxu laughed and said, "That guy is indeed good, I like him even more now!"
"He doesn't want to join the army." Old Man Wei said again, this time his tone seemed more stubborn.
Liao Mingxu was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly.
"I know, the Qi and Blood Pill will be delivered tomorrow."
Old Man Wei nodded, then turned and left.
Seeing the old man limping away, the soldier at the door came over and asked in a low voice: "Sir, who is that man named Jiang Lin? He actually bothered Master Wei to come and ask for it for him in person."
< br>
"Who is it?"
Liao Mingxu thought for a while and smiled: "A little blacksmith who may become something great in the future."
Xiaobing looked puzzled, blacksmith?
What great thing can a blacksmith do, but just make iron?
Liao Mingxu did not explain. He only watched as Old Man Wei gradually disappeared into the night, and then lowered his head to look at the sword in his hand.
Carefully re-wrapping it with linen, Liao Mingxu put it into his arms with great care, and then returned to the camp.
Under the moonlight, the figure of Old Man Wei walking alone and lamely grew longer and longer.
Pulling higher and higher.
The stars in the sky seemed to spontaneously become brighter, illuminating the path forward for him.
