Chapter 629 Nier

"Nier, come here, sit on the kang, drink sugar water and eat persimmons. You loved sweets the most when you were a child. I've saved all this for you."

"Do you want to eat meat? Don't you like eating meat? I'm going to cut the meat for you right now! Let your mother stew it for you right now!"

The old man who was playing with the flowers followed the old woman beside him and continued to be courteous to Li Sui, and the smile on his face never fell.

"By the way, Ni'er, why did you come back? Didn't I hear that you were sold by that beast?" As soon as the old woman spoke, she was stepped on by the old man beside her.

"It's the New Year and the holidays, why are you talking about this bad luck? Let's wait until today!"

Li Sui seemed a little impatient after being disturbed by the other party. He couldn't understand what the two people in front of him were talking about. "Didn't you tell me to teach me how to beat tree flowers? I want to learn how to beat tree flowers."

"Teach, teach, teach! Let's teach now!!" The old man kept nodding his head.

After the old man said that, he led Li Sui towards the back of the house. When he opened a curtain with many burning round holes, Li Sui was surprised to find that the other side of the house was actually a blacksmith shop. , half is used for living and the other is used for making iron.

"Nier, when it comes to beating tree flowers, we have to do it with our blacksmiths. Do you know why not? Because we are the only ones who can get enough molten iron."

As he spoke, the old man threw a few charcoal cakes into the dark red stove, grabbed the wooden handle of the blast box next to him, and pushed and pulled it hard.

As the wind blew into the iron stove, the charcoal cake gradually turned red, and the fire became more intense. He pulled the stove and kept talking. "Nier, we can't charge too much for a tree flowering. It costs at least two hundred grains, and this doesn't include the cost of molten iron. Remember this price, you can only pay more but not less."

When it felt like the temperature was about the same, a thick-rimmed pot holder was placed in the red charcoal fire, and some replaced horseshoes, rusty kitchen knives and the like were piled in the big pot.

"The money for molten iron also has a saying in it. We collect money by pressing good iron, and then we take some rotten iron and scrap metal and dissolve it into molten iron. Once it goes in and out, we will make money again."

Li Sui didn't listen to these words at all at the moment, and concentrated on staring at the hot stove in front of him.

The old man looked at her appearance at this moment, took off his fur coat and laughed happily. His daughter once again liked watching him forging iron as she did when she was a child. She was just like now, squatting next to her and watching. All day long.

But at this moment, the old woman who was following her saw some clues. She leaned over secretly and said to the old man: "Master, what's going on? Why am I looking at something strange? How come our Ni'er has changed?" Personally?"

The old man glared at her while pulling the bellows, glanced carefully in the direction of Li Sui, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "No matter what happens, if she can come back with all her beard and tail, it will be enough for her to kowtow and thank her ancestors for their blessing. What else can you do?" What do you want! Be more peaceful!"

After saying that, he picked up some good charcoal from the shelf nearby, crushed it and threw it into the red cauldron. He then said to Li Sui: "Nier, remember, you need to put some good charcoal here." , this molten iron comes out quickly."

"I remember it." Li Sui studied very seriously.

As the charcoal was added, the iron in the pot slowly turned red and gradually melted into the same molten iron as before.

"Come on, come on, get out of the way. I'll get this molten iron into a bucket. Don't underestimate the fact that there's only one bucket of molten iron, but it's very heavy." The old man gritted his teeth and carried the bucket of molten iron with trembling hands. , rushing towards the city wall.

"Nier, remember, when you hit the tree flowers, you must throw it upwards, and the force must be strong. If the force is not enough, then the molten iron will fall and pour on your head."

"Wow~~" When the fiery trees and golden flowers exploded on the city wall again, Li Sui's eyes suddenly lit up. "It's so beautiful."

Seeing the happy smile on Li Sui's face, the old man splashed the molten iron more vigorously, pouring spoonful after spoonful of molten iron onto the wall.

When the beating of tree flowers was over, the panting old man walked to Li Sui and said, "Nier? How are you? Have you learned it? If not, dad will teach you again!"

"Okay, okay!" Li Sui nodded happily. He couldn't get tired of looking at this thing.

"Okay, let's go back! Let's boil a pot of molten iron again!" After the old man said that, he picked up the iron bucket and walked home happily with Li Sui.

But just after taking two steps, a green-skinned man with exposed arms in the cold weather stood in front of the two of them. "Hey, father-in-law, I saw you cutting flowers on trees from a long way away. It's a good festival. It's a good festival."

When the old man saw clearly who the person in front of him was, he immediately stood in front of Li Sui, raised the iron bucket in his hand and shouted loudly: "You unscrupulous bitch! Get away! You sold Ni'er once to pay back Isn’t it enough?”

The old man's words reminded Qingpi that there was a familiar woman in front of him.

When the green-skinned man saw Li Sui Sui, his eyes suddenly lit up, "He came back from such a long distance? Okay, Ni'er, I haven't seen you for so long, do you want to marry me?"

"Get out of here!"

"Peng!" The green-skinned man was startled when he saw the iron bucket hitting him. He took several steps back in panic, but finally he was not hit.

"Ouch, you old guy! How dare you mess with me!" Qingpi rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, punching and kicking the old man.

"Listen to me! Ni'er is married to me! Now she is part of our family. I can sell her if I want! I can pay for it if I want! Even if you go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit, I will take care of it!"

"Nier! Come on! Go on! Go home!!" The old man stopped him and shouted to Li Sui.

Li Sui didn't leave. She stood there and looked at everything in front of her, trying to understand the complicated meaning.

Her father had never taught her this, so she couldn't understand it.

When he saw the old man fall to the ground, Li Sui stepped forward and said, "Why did you beat him? He taught me how to beat tree flowers. You can't beat him."

Qingpi stopped and looked at Li Sui with some confusion, "Oh, you have seen the world after being sold, right? In the past, you couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, but now you dare to talk back to me?" "

Just when Li Sui was watching his expression carefully, Qingpi raised his left hand and slapped Li Sui on the face. "Why are you staring? You deserve a beating, right?"

Li Sui glanced at the old man with a bruised nose and swollen face on the ground, and then looked at the green skin in front of him. Suddenly, a special emotion came up in his heart. He had never felt such a strange feeling in the past.

"Pa" was another slap, "Damn it, go home now! Wash all my clothes! Clean everything inside and outside the house for me!!"
