Obligations of the elderly

He found the right way to open up the market, and the things refined by the palace are really good. Gradually, his business is quite good. Not only can he not starve to death, but he has gradually made a small amount of money, although it is not a lot. However, there are not many, and it is no longer the state of being poor and blank at the beginning.

And at this time, Xiliu no longer set up a stall. Once the stall was closed, he would read a book next to the palace every day, or go for a walk with Datou, and go for a walk in the market every day.

The stream is very comfortable, but the big head seems to be used to the days of setting up a stall. Once he has nothing to do, he is quite at a loss. Fortunately, the stream has its own way to divert its attention.

Gongsi has figured out the taste, probably Xiliu felt that he would not be able to set up a stall like that at the beginning, and that kind of way of setting up a stall is probably only suitable for uncles. He is obviously far behind now, Xiliu didn't say it directly, Instead, he used the excuse that he needed a barbecue grill to set up a stall, which allowed him to build a stove on the spot and refine the tools on the spot, which attracted the first business.

Looking at the back of the stream leisurely going out for a stroll, Gong Si shook his head, this guy is really tactful.

But even though he has made a lot of money now, Gongsi still sits obediently and strikes iron every day, and doesn't go out to wander around.He has always kept in mind that this is the task given to him by his uncle, resisting the temptation from the outside, constantly forging iron every day, listening to customers' requests, and observing the needs of the market, which is probably also a necessary practice for a blacksmith.

What's more, sitting here and blacksmithing is actually not boring.

Every day, all kinds of customers come to him to buy things. These customers have different personalities, some are quiet, some are talkative, some will leave after paying a deposit, and some are willing to stay forever Sitting by the side and watching, and during this time, there are always people who have nothing to do and are willing to tell Gong Si their adventure stories.

Gong Si is naturally not very talkative, but fortunately, these guests often don't need someone who is more talkative than themselves, they just want to talk to each other.

Anyone who likes to chat often has good eloquence. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the adventure stories they narrate can be described as thrilling, and those who are particularly eloquent can often attract the attention of passers-by. , A large circle of people surrounded Gongsi's booth for no reason. People who didn't know it thought that Gongsi was selling amazing things, and when they came around, they realized that they were listening to stories here.

Of course, most passers-by just listened to it and left, but some people seemed to appreciate these stories very much.Gong Si found out that there was a little customer in his booth at some time, and he didn't know where he came from. Every day, the cat came over at some time, and he listened quietly beside someone telling a story. Telling the story didn't leave, just wandering around, he seemed to be very interested in the things on the Gongsi booth, but he didn't dare to touch or ask, in short, Gongsi didn't hear him say a word to himself.

Gong Si had never seen his face before, because he was wearing a flowered scarf around his neck. The scarf was so big that it covered his head like a hood, so ordinary people couldn't see clearly his looks.However, the head and neck were tightly covered, but the boy's upper body was bare, with a small flat chest exposed, only then could Gong Si know that the other party was a man.

There is no clothing on the upper body, and a pair of the most common trousers on the lower body. If you look closely, you will feel that the fabric of the trousers is different from the fabric worn by ordinary people, and the design is also different. As for the feet, the boy is wearing a pair of straw. The slippers, with ten toes sticking out.

It was because he came here every day and stayed here for a long time that Gong Si observed him so carefully. Others would probably not care about such a child. After all, there are people everywhere in this place. A big cloak will There are many people who are tightly wrapped up, and there are also many people who are dressed in strange clothes, and the other party is not eye-catching.

Knowing whether the other party is a child or because Gong Si has many younger brothers, the other party's stature is actually not considered short, and some people believe that he is a short adult, but there are three differences in this fine hands and feet, plus some small movements. The younger brother's Gong Si of all ages knew at a glance that the other party's age might not be too old.

What is slightly different from the temperament of a pure man is that Gong Si is a careful person, probably because he has taken care of his younger brother since he was a child. Gong Si is actually a very careful person, much more meticulous than ordinary men, and he is better at science. , I usually like to observe the rules, and he quickly figured out the rules of the little boy's appearance: for example, the other party usually appears around ten o'clock in the morning, and then basically takes root on his side, and he doesn't run around very much, although occasionally I will also go to other places for a stroll, but I will come back soon, and then continue to wander around the palace until 04:30 in the afternoon.

The other party especially likes to watch him making kitchen knives, he can squat in place for a long time, and then, as mentioned earlier, he neither touches nor asks. At first, Gongsi thought it was the various stories told by the guests that attracted the boy, but now he dare not Guaranteed, can't the other party be more attracted to your own kitchen knife?

As for the reason why the other party didn't touch or ask, it didn't take long for Gong Si to vaguely guess: because he was too shy?

The little boy seems to have no money. Although he can go shopping in the market, he has never bought anything here, even for lunch. There are many stalls selling food here, but the boy will go to the market every noon. In the direction of the jungle, unexpectedly, he is an excellent hunter. With a homemade slingshot, he can shoot down the birds in the air, and then roast them by the river.The reason why Gong Si knew this was because the other party rescued Lucky once, yes, it was lucky, once when delivering a letter to the stall owner who sold charcoal, the other party happened to be logging in the jungle, and Lucky ran all the way through the forest , the food is good and edible, lucky to be fat, but it is a baby bird, but it can't fly yet, no, as soon as it enters the woods, it is stared at by a few white-headed birds, that kind of white-headed bird He is very fierce. He likes to eat letter birds by nature. Other letter birds rely on their flying speed to avoid bald birds. Fortunately, they can't fly, so they were spotted at that time. Fortunately, it ran into a little boy who was hunting. The boy shot down two bald-headed birds at that time, and they soaked in the stalls of the palace every day. He naturally recognized luck. Dodging away, he ran briskly into the jungle to find the owner of the charcoal stall, and then ran back again.

The little boy didn't intend to say anything at first, but Lucky kept yelling at the boy when he came back from delivering the letter that day. Gong Si couldn't hold back the first time he talked to the boy, and only then did he discover another thing about the boy——

He does not speak the common language.

I can't say that I can't say it, but I said it very badly. After stammering for a long time, I didn't explain the matter clearly. In the end, the little boy ran away in a panic. Gongsi thought that there was a high probability that he would never come again, but who knew The next day he sneaked over again.

He also brought a notebook, because he couldn’t say it well, so he drew what happened yesterday, not to mention, his paintings are lifelike, whether it’s luck in the jungle, white-headed birds in the sky, or even the boy himself, he draws them all. It was so realistic that Gong Si could understand everything just by looking at it.

"Thank you." Gong Si solemnly thanked him, but he did not expect that there were creatures so unfriendly to luck in the jungle.

"No, no..." The little boy stammered in the common language, and he couldn't speak a complete sentence after speaking for a long time, so, guessing what the other party meant, Gong Si said to him:

"You're welcome, I guess you meant to say you're welcome."

"No...you're welcome?" The little boy raised his head and repeated Gongsi's words.

Gong Si smiled at him: "Very well said."

The scarf on the little boy's face faded slightly, and Gong Si saw a pair of dark eyes shining with stars.

With this beginning, there has been communication between them since then, and some behaviors of the little boy before have gradually been explained.

For example, I like to squat here in the palace and listen to the stories of other adventurers. First, I am really interested, and second, I want to learn the common language. The little boy's learning ability is quite good. He can understand a lot of words now, but it is estimated that Because of the lack of contact, he spoke poorly and his pronunciation was strange, but after realizing that the little boy wanted to learn the common language, Gong Si let him talk to him when he was free, and corrected a sentence or two when he encountered a pronunciation obstacle, the little boy He is really smart, and his pronunciation has made great progress in a few days. In addition, his hearing was good before, but he lacked others to correct his pronunciation. Now he can speak long sentences. The little boy who learned to talk is simply a talker. His pronunciation has improved along with his courage, and now his courage is getting fatter, and he dares to yell!

"It's selling kitchen knives! It's selling spoons! Anything made of metal is fine!" Well, although there are some minor grammar problems, but when he shouted so confidently, others don't care about them.

Gongsi never yelled, and Xiliu didn't do this kind of thing either. Neither of them had such a personality. Now that there was a little boy yelling here, there were many more guests staying here.

Gong Si didn’t like to talk to customers when he was making things, and the little boy was by his side. His common language improved after such interactions, but because the person who taught him to speak the common language at the beginning was Gong Si, his common language He always had a little Jizhou accent, which was actually recognized by some guests.

"Little ghost, are you from Jizhou?" The guest still asked the little boy like that!

The little boy was stunned by the question, and then Gong Si replied calmly beside him: "Well, we are from Jizhou."

"Jizhou is not bad, it's a good place!" Then the guest talked a lot about Jizhou.

The little boy was still fascinated by what he heard, and afterwards he went to Gongsi to ask about Jizhou's affairs, such as schools, high-rise buildings...

He looked... as if he had never heard of this at all. Looking at the expression of the little boy, Gong Si thought, and recalled it carefully, only then did he realize that most of the previous adventurers talked about their adventures in the Black Earth Continent. Mentioning the Nine Continents... It seems to be the first time. After all, for adventurers, the Nine Continents are easy to go to. Everyone knows that there is no need to mention it. They are all worried about this. side experience.

However, Mo Dharma is different, he seems to be more unfamiliar with the nine continents outside...

By the way, Mofa is the name of the little boy. The second day after they formally spoke, Gong Si knew his name.

"Could it be the local aborigines?" Regarding the origin of Mofa, Xiliu guessed: "The black soil continent is also a continent, and there are aborigines on it. There are two tribes of aborigines that have been discovered so far, but they are not in Da, and the aborigines are all It's very mysterious. They don't welcome outsiders. Legend has it that the aborigines live in high-level areas. For adventurers, the aborigines are one of the biggest threats. They are very unfriendly to adventurers and will even kill themselves. adventurer."

"High-end area? This is far from the high-end area." Gong Si thought for a while and shrugged.

In short, the two were just guessing, and did not ask Mo Fa to prove it. Mo Fa did have a secret, but they didn't need to ask each other before the other party was willing to tell them.

This attitude of Gong Si is probably the one that reassures Mo Fa the most. The relationship between the two of them is very pleasant. Later, Gong Si also found out why Mo Fa never touches or asks about the items on the booth——

"...When I was younger, I sneaked over from the mountain to look at the stalls here. I touched someone's glass and broke it. The other party arrested me..." Mofa told Gongsi his past.

"It's terrible." He only used such an adjective for what happened at that time.

Looking at the little boy who was still in shock, Gong Si finally just patted Mo Fa on the shoulder, Mo Fa grabbed his hand, then raised his head and gave him a hearty smile.

"You can touch whatever I want, it won't break." Gong Si said to him.

Staring blankly at the palace, Mo Fa touched the things made by the palace for the first time.

Then their relationship became a little more intimate.

Gong Si also taught Mo Fa how to use the blower: "Wind is a good friend of fire, and wind is indispensable for blacksmithing."

Don't look at Mo Fa, who is thin and thin, but his strength seems to be much stronger than that of Gongsi. It is effortless to use the blower, and he has not been tired after pulling it all the time.

The friendship between the two ended at the end of the internship in the palace, the afternoon before they were about to reunite with their uncle.

Gong Si told Mo Fa the news that he was going to leave, Mo Fa was stunned, but still accepted the news.

"Whatever you want, just pick one from here, or if you have a style you want, I can make it now." Gong Si said to him.

"I...don't have any of your money." Mo Fa revealed his words again.

Although he never told Gong Si about his background, many details of his usual speech revealed this, such as "your money", he refers to the green coins used by Pontok, this kind of money is very important to Gong Si. However, for real locals, this kind of money is still the currency created by adventurers, and it is still "your money".

To put it bluntly, Gong Si just said to him: "It's a gift, no money is needed."

After looking at the palace for a long time, Mo Fa finally chose a kitchen knife: "We use daggers to cut food there, which is inconvenient. I want to ask Grandma for a kitchen knife, so that it will be more convenient for her to cook."

So he was a filial child, Gong Si thought, and asked Mo Fa to pick out his favorite kitchen knife, and gave it to him.

Mo Fa, who got the kitchen knife, did not take the kitchen knife away immediately, but ran to an unknown place and caught a wild letter bird. Regardless of whether the letter bird had not been trained at all, he directly let the letter bird and Lucky keep each other. Under "Phone Number".

"Write to me in the future!" He said to Gong Si.

Saying goodbye to Gong Si like a man, Mo Fa did not shed tears, bid farewell to Gong Si and the stream, and ran straight towards the jungle with the kitchen knife that Gong Si gave him.

Because of catching birds, he left this place later than 04:30 for the first time. It was dark early in the woods. It was dark at five o'clock, and it was basically completely dark at 05:30.

The deeper it gets, the darker it gets. Adventurers usually come to the outer edge of the forest at most, and they won't go in the middle part, let alone the deep part.

Because the depths of this forest is the road leading to the high-level area.

However, Mofa ran deep without hesitation. Yes, he used to run. The elders in the tribe told them about the dangers of the dense forest at night, and asked them not to walk at night. He did so at 04:30 every day. It was the first time he walked through such a dark forest, he thought he should be afraid, but... no.

There was a kitchen knife given to him by Gong Si on his chest, thinking of the scene of Gong Si waving his hand, he felt warm in his heart, his footsteps became lighter and lighter, as if he was flying lightly.

No, it's not Wan Ruo, but he just flew up!

The toes have left the ground, and the breeze is wrapped around his body. Mofa seems to be surrounded by a layer of air. There are no wings behind him, but his body is slowly floating, with the wind around him, he directly Leaving the ground, as if without weight, he jumped lightly on the branches, he "flyed" too high, holding the letter bird that had been resisting in his hand, he forgot to resist as if he was frightened, and then Mofa It's easier.

In this way, he galloped like the wind, until he saw the torch in the distance.

That's his tribe.

There were not two torches before, but three. As the distance got closer, Mofa finally saw the situation over there. In addition to the tribal warriors who routinely guarded the gate every day, there was another person waiting there with a torch .

It was a man, about 20 years old, tall, with broad shoulders, long black hair combed into a long braid behind his head, like Mofa, he was not wearing a top, and his lower body was trousers and straw sandals.

Seeing the familiar figure, Mo Fa was surprised at first, and then called out happily: "Yarden! Why are you back?!"
