Obligations of the elderly

There is no sign of that place.

There are various signs on this map, such as the "building" sign represents the official supply point or consultation point, they have this sign at the place where they first went to get the novice guide; then "stone" represents various mines, According to the different stones, the minerals are also different. However, there is no sign on the place that the uncle pointed out. After careful observation by the palace, that place seems to be in a place where water flows, and the thin veins representing the river are intertwined. That place is flat.

In addition, the difference between the so-called "novice village" and "middle-level area" that Uncle just mentioned is not reflected on the map. Similarly, neither is the "middle-level area" and "advanced area".

Gong Si thought, that should be a conventional division.

"That's right, this map is actually a map for novices. It seems to be written in detail, but in fact there is nothing to say." Listening to Gongsi's analysis of the icons, the uncle said while leading the way.

"As for the official purchase points, the purchase price is relatively low. Generally, only novices who don't know the situation at all will sell the things they find there, and there are very common things that no one outside is willing to buy. "

"For the most part, people prefer to trade privately."

"If you trade privately, you have to go to this kind of gold prospector's market."

Walking in the long green grass that covered the top of his head, the uncle pushed the grass away as he walked, thanks to his hands now wearing a pair of iron gloves, otherwise he would go on like this all the way, even if the uncle's hands are blacksmiths who are not afraid of fire I am afraid that my hands will not be able to withstand the cutting of these grass leaves with fine fluff.

Speaking of this pair of gloves, the uncle actually refined them on the spot along the way, collecting various metal blending ratios, making a kind of metal wire that is as soft as silk thread, and as thick as silk thread, and then woven by weaving. .

Gongsi's current smelting technology is really good, he smelted this kind of metal as thin as a gossamer without any effort, but he was stuck in the next level - his glove weaving skills are not at all!

So, the materials had been prepared a long time ago, but Gongsi could barely weave one glove. He used to find time to weave gloves when he was on the raft every day. Now that there is no raft, his gloves have completely stopped working. Now I can only rely on my uncle to lead the way, and then use other tools from time to time to poke the blades of grass that are easy to cut.

"It's okay, Ah Si, you weave slowly, knit a pair for me too, and try to knit a scarf for me later!" Gong Si was annoyed, but Xi Liu was very happy, and even made an order with Gong Si.

Gong Si was about to reject his request, but the uncle stated his position in front of him: "I think it's okay, blacksmiths don't just need to know how to blacksmith, then they can only be called blacksmiths. If you want to go further If so, you might as well learn all kinds of handicrafts. When I first wanted to make this kind of gloves, I tried many methods of blacksmithing but couldn’t make the ideal gloves. In the end, I suddenly saw my neighbor Aunt Lin knitting a sweater one day. I saw her knitting a sweater all afternoon, and I tried knitting it that night, and it turned out to be such a convenient and practical glove.”

"I'm still studying origami, which is really an art." The uncle said, and mentioned his recent hobby.

"Yes, yes! I am also very interested in origami recently, and the application of origami technology in space folding is very interesting." It is rare that this is also my latest interest, Xiliu happily continued.

"Then you must be good at mathematics. My mathematics is a little poor. I guess it will be a little difficult to walk on the road of origami." The uncle said.

"It also depends on personal perseverance and understanding..."

Seeing that Xiliu and his uncle had a good talk in detail, Gong Si curled his lips, secretly wanting to go back and weave a mask for Xiliu to cover his mouth before talking!

But Gong Si was very glad that he came out with his uncle.

Of course, the teaching in the school is not bad. He can stand at a very high height and look down on what the craftsmen of the past ages have learned. "On the contrary, he seems to have become one of the countless craftsmen who have been looked down upon by him, starting from the bottom, starting from the most basic place, starting from scratch, making whatever is needed, this is a perspective of looking up .

It wasn't that there wasn't a stream of water around them. In fact, they were walking along the water at the moment, but the current stream was very thin and hidden in the long grass. If they didn't pay attention, they would lose the river.

Uncle told them how to find the Gold Digger's Bazaar——

"Generally, the market must meet three conditions: the place where the water flow gathers, it is flat, and it is relatively safe."

"After determining the location of the market, as long as you follow the water, you will be right, and you will definitely arrive at the market."

"Of course, this is the middle-level area and the novice village's gold digger market looking for rules. It is said that there are other methods in the high-level area. I don't know about this."

As the uncle said, he once again stretched out his metal-gloved hand to push away the grass in front of him. This time, the grass was no longer another piece of grass, but a vast plain!

The river that had always been faintly at their feet meandered forward from the grass, like a winding belt, shining in the sun, and they saw other "belts" ahead!Several thin rivers converged to form a lake in front, which looked like a mirror from a distance, and beside the "mirror", they saw people!so many people!

No need for the uncle to say that the palace knows: they must have arrived!It's time for the Gold Digger's Bazaar!

The more they walked, the more lively they saw gold diggers from all continents. They were different from the gold diggers seen in the small town of Pontok. The gold diggers here looked more... well, how should I put it?Better?More sophisticated?

Walking among this group of people, Gong Si felt a little timid in his heart, yes... these people are all gold diggers who have experienced many battles, and they came here alone, how many times did they come here? Here, I came here under the leadership of my uncle all the way, and came here so easily, the difference between these made Gong Si suddenly feel a little uncertain.

Just as he was thinking this way, the uncle suddenly stopped.

"Okay, this place is good, I'm going to set up a stall here." The uncle said, put the backpack on the ground directly, took out the blanket that was usually used as a quilt from the backpack, spread it on the ground, and then , he began to open his backpack to take out things.

Gong Si was stunned, and wanted to put down his backpack, but was stopped by his uncle.

"Go to other places to set up a stall, this is my stall."

"Ah?" Before Gong Si could react, the uncle had already stuffed his backpack back into Gong Si's arms, and pushed him forward again: "In the next month, we will set up a stall at this place, Now that we have started our own business, let’s eat dinner separately, the stream is your user, so he belongs to you, we are responsible for ourselves, and we will meet again in a month.”

After the uncle finished speaking, he sat directly beside the blanket, and took out all kinds of utensils that he had made during this period of time in his backpack. Big men squeezed over from the side, and one man was so big that he pushed Gong Si away from the uncle's stall with one buttock.

Immediately afterwards, people began to ask the uncle for a price!

"By the way, according to my observation, blacksmith shops with a radius of two kilometers are generally in competition. If you want to compete with me, you can choose two kilometers away, and if you don't want to, try to go as far away as possible." Quickly negotiated a knife business, Taking advantage of the time when the guests were satisfied and leaving, the uncle also took the time to say something to the palace.

Holding the backpack, Gongsi: ...

"Let's go." In the end, Xiliu patted him on the shoulder, holding the backpack and the lucky bird cage, and the two continued to walk forward.

Gong Si was still a little flustered, but Xi Liu had already started to carefully observe the surrounding stalls: "There are really all kinds of things for sale around here, Ah Si, maybe you can buy very rare metal ores!"

This guy is used to being rich, and he is also used to being a buyer. Not long after, Xiliu saw something he was interested in, so he ran over to inquire about the price.

Palace Si: ...

Looking back at the uncle's position, he could no longer see anything.One reason is that there are too many people in the market, and the other reason is that there are too many guests on the uncle's side. The uncle is surrounded by dense crowds, so it is strange that he can be seen.

He simply walked forward with his head sullen.

At first, he was still a little dazed, but as he walked forward, the daze in his heart gradually receded, and he suddenly stretched out his hands and patted his cheek, and he reflected for a while.

It’s true that having reliable elders makes me feel a little more youthful again, but it’s not a good thing to subconsciously want to rely on elders when you have elders. This kind of dependence can barely be praised as innocent and cute a few years ago, but now He is not young!How many brothers are there under him!Sooner or later, he will be called uncle, but he is determined to be as reliable as uncle, no, he has to come out of blue!

His eyes gradually became clearer, and Gong Si happened to see an open space in front of him, this is it, this is the place where he is sober, he wanted to understand it here, so he decided to set up a stall here.

It doesn't matter how many kilometers away from the uncle's stall, if he wants to become a craftsman, he will be compared with the uncle sooner or later.

Simply start now!

Thinking in his heart, Gong Si exhaled heavily through his nostrils, and then, like an uncle, he casually threw the backpack on the ground and put the lucky cage beside him. He laid out the sleeping blanket and placed himself on it. works during this time.

By the time the stream returned with a full load, the palace had already set up a stall on the spot for quite some time.

Wearing shabby clothes, a young man who looked like a homeless man was sitting by the simple booth. Although there were no guests beside him, his eyes were full of determination.

Seeing such a palace, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the stream ran towards him——
