Chapter 531 Frankness
"Old man." Ouyang Ming leaned closer and said with a smile.
On his shoulder, the little red bird lowered her eyebrows and was not dissatisfied with Ouyang Ming's lowered posture. Although this little guy is young, he is an extremely smart master. He had known for a long time that the relationship between Ouyang Ming and Old Craftsman was extraordinary, and if it caused trouble because of this matter, Ou Yangming would never stand by his side.
The old craftsman looked at Ouyang Ming with a smile, and said: "Your boy is here, yes, it seems that you still take my old age to heart."
Ouyang Ming said angrily: "Old man, what you said seems to be unfilial in some way."
The old craftsman shook his head, and suddenly sighed: "Hey, kid, I'm sorry..."
Ouyang Ming was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Old man, what's wrong with you, is it because the fever burned your brain?"
The old craftsman was furious, and cursed: "Stinky boy, is there someone who curses people like you?"
"Oh, it's not me who cursed people, but you... When did you learn to be polite?" Ouyang Ming asked inexplicably.
The old craftsman said dumbfoundingly: "You monkey, you really haven't hit the house for three days!" His eyes were roving, as if he was looking for something convenient.
The little red bird blinked, spread its wings suddenly, and left Ouyang Ming's shoulder with a flutter. If the old craftsman really brought something to call, if he accidentally touched it, it would probably be in vain.
Anyway, as long as Ouyang Ming is around, anyone who wants to make a fool of the old craftsman must have a clear understanding, even it is no exception.
Ouyang Ming was terrified, and hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, old man, what did you mean just now!"
The old craftsman was really distracted by this sentence, he stood firm, and sighed: "Stinky boy, I know that the royal family and the Ni family are not dealing with each other. I came out of the Ni family and went to the capital. I should bring you a lot of money." Worry."
Ouyang Ming shook his head again and again, and said, "Old man, what are you talking about? In this world, you can go wherever you want, how could you cause me trouble." He patted his chest and said intentionally, "Are you worried about money?" ? Hehe, forging a piece of equipment now, kid, is enough to pay for it!"
The old craftsman looked at him silently, his eyes gradually became kind, and he said, "Don't lie to me. Well, actually, the old man also knows that acting rashly like this will definitely trouble you. But..." He lowered his He shook his head, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.
Ouyang Ming felt a sudden pain in his heart,
He said in a deep voice: "Old man, is someone persecuting you in front of you. Tell me, who is it?"
The old craftsman waved his hand and said, "Don't think wildly, no."
"No, there must be someone." Ouyang Ming thought, and said, "It can't be General Chen, can it?"
If it was really Chen Yifan, it would be more difficult.
Before Ouyang Ming developed, not many people looked up to him, but Chen Yifan was an exception. He not only took good care of him in the army, but also taught him martial arts. It can be said that in Ouyang Ming's heart, besides the old craftsman, he also has a lot of respect for Chen Yifan.
The old craftsman glared at him, and said: "I said, don't think about it, why did it involve General Chen! Are you a white-eyed wolf and want to repay your kindness?"
Ou Yangming smiled and said: "Master, you are too worried, don't say it's not General Chen, even if it is him, I can't do anything to him."
"Hmph." The old craftsman snorted softly, and said, "Stinky boy, I don't have any other demands on you, but I just want you to promise me one thing. To be a human being, every little bit of kindness should be repaid by the spring."
Ouyang Ming's face was serious, and he said respectfully: "Yes, my child will remember."
Only then did the old craftsman nod his head in satisfaction, and said, "Forget it, now that I've reached this point, the old man has nothing to hide." He paused, and said, "Do you know how I got here before, old man?"
Ouyang Ming thought to himself, General Li Xinfan had already said it. But there was a look of curiosity on his face, and he said, "I don't know."
"Hehe, in fact, when I was young, my old man was somewhat similar to you brat." The old craftsman stroked his long beard lightly, and said, "When I was young, both my parents died, and the family property left by my parents was not much. After burying them, I started wandering and came to Linhai."
Ouyang Ming nodded his head slightly, his face showed concentration, and he didn't dare to let the old craftsman know that he had already heard about it.
"When I came to Linhai, I almost starved to death. But at this time, a blacksmith in the army rescued me and adopted me as a foster son." The old craftsman sighed for a while, and said slowly: "Since then , the old man has taken root in Linhai until now."
His life experience as an old man will definitely not be so ordinary. From an unknown apprentice to the position of Lin Hai's chief blacksmith, although this process is far from being comparable to Ouyang Ming's sweeping the world's spirit beasts, it is by no means a sentence or two. Summary.
However, the old craftsman just said it like this, it seems that the hard work of this life is worth this sentence.
Ouyang Ming responded softly, and said, "Old man, you adopted me later, and I grew up."
The old craftsman smiled happily and said: "Yes, when the old man adopted you in the past, he thought you were very similar to me."
The little red bird stared at Old Jiangtou and Ouyang Ming with rounded eyes, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any similarities between the two.
But Ou Yangming puffed up his chest, and said shamelessly: "Yes, old man, you and I are carved out of the same mold, of course we resemble each other."
The old craftsman was taken aback, and laughed happily.
Outside the door, although no one dared to approach and eavesdrop on the conversation between the two of them, the old craftsman's loud laughter made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the old craftsman is happy, otherwise, even these super blacksmiths will feel huge indescribable pressure in the face of Ouyang Ming who may explode at any time.
After a while, the old craftsman finally stopped laughing and said with emotion: "Stinky boy, do you know why I agreed to come over?"
This was the question that Ouyang Ming was most concerned about. His eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "I don't know, tell me, old man."
The old craftsman nodded slightly, and said: "Hey, my old man has been in the military barracks since he was a child, and he has eaten military food for sixty or seventy years. His bones are full of military blood." He looked at Ouyang Ming, stretched out his hand to caress Ou Yangming's head slowly said: "The military order has been issued, you can disobey it, but I can't, I have to be worthy of the skin on my body."
Hearing the old man's plain and straightforward words, for some reason, Ouyang Ming couldn't help feeling sour.
No one is tempting, no one is fueling the flames, and there is no lofty ambition to sacrifice one's life for the world.
All of this is just the most simple thoughts of an old man who is over seventy years old and has been honed in the army all his life.
Since I have eaten military food all my life, when the military order comes down, I must do it. If you don't comply, if you care about every detail, you will be sorry for the army I have served in my life.
But it was the simplest thoughts like this that made Ou Yangming's mood agitated and it was difficult to calm down.
The old craftsman pursed his lips and said, "Boy, this is my old man's choice, but don't worry about it so much, just do what you want, don't worry about me."
Ouyang Ming lowered his head and said, "Yes."
The little red bird rolled her eyes and ignored you? That kid said it but couldn't do it!
The old craftsman also laughed, and said: "Boy, I know you don't mean what you say. But, you have to promise me, don't worry about my old man too much, otherwise the old man will feel uneasy."
Ou Yangming's face was full of smiles, and he said, "Old man, why are you worried so much? Hehe, in this world, there are very few things that can embarrass me." He patted his chest and said: "Just don't worry, you can play however you want, everything is up to me!"
The old craftsman's eyes lighted up slightly, and he said, "You can play however you want?"
Ouyang Ming nodded heavily, and said, "Exactly." He said boldly and honestly, "With me here, even if you poke a big hole in this day, I will make it up for you."
At this time, Ouyang Ming really had such a thought in his heart.
Sometimes, helping relatives or not helping relatives is not because of ignorance of the right and wrong, but because of the differences between relatives and estrangements.
The old craftsman narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's great for you to say that." He suddenly raised his voice, and called: "Brother Wu, Brother Jin, come in quickly, this brat promised to teach How do we forge magic tools!"
Ouyang Ming was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he asked, "What?"
The old craftsman smiled and said: "Your boy can easily forge magic tools, you must have a special ability. We don't ask you to teach this ability, and we probably can't teach it. However, if we let us observe from the sidelines, we may be able to find out A little clueless."
Ouyang Ming stuttered his mouth, feeling as if he was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.
"Old man, I used to forge eighty if not a hundred magic weapons. Aren't you watching?"
"It's different, old man, my eyesight is dim, so I can't see clearly, but there are so many people here, maybe I can get a clue." The old craftsman said with a smile, "For the sake of all of us forging, you should work harder. "
The door opened, and people led by Wu Hongxi and Jin Shengjie entered. Their faces were filled with joy, and they saluted and thanked Ouyang Ming.
"Thank you, Master Ou!"
"Thank you Master Ou for your success!"
Seeing the happy faces of these blacksmiths, Ouyang Ming frowned slightly, and he wondered in his heart, did he fall into some kind of trap?
Seeing Ouyang Ming's gloomy face, everyone was a little uneasy.
The old craftsman said angrily: "Brat, why don't you?"
Ouyang Ming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, old man. I will start forging right away. If I don't teach you, I won't leave."
Forget it, as long as it makes the old man happy, work harder.
The little red bird tilted its head inexplicably, and really didn't understand these human relationships. It raised its head, thinking of the unfettered days in the upper realm, and couldn't help but yearn for it a little more.
When will I be able to go back there... However, if you want to go back, at least take him with you!
However, what would be the consequences if he were really brought into the forbidden area of the Feng Clan?
