don't call me singer

Chapter 456

When Gu Xiaobai woke up again from 600 years ago, it was just dawn.

Beside him, Hua Zhongjun had disappeared.

"sister?"

Gu Xiaobai thought of the legend that Zhu Qinan told him, his heart sank suddenly, he hurriedly got up, and found the food was on the table, he was slightly relieved.

The only one who can cook for himself is Hua Zhongjun.

But he searched around, but Hua Zhongjun was gone. In Gu Xiaobai's heart, the bad feeling became stronger, and he turned around and ran away.

After running out for tens of meters, Gu Xiaobai suddenly remembered something, turned around and returned to the room, looked around, grabbed a sickle in the corner, and then turned and went out the door.

At this time, the sky has not yet brightened, and there are not many people moving around.

Gu Xiaobai walked on the road alone, the morning fog filled the air, and there was no one around.

Gu Xiaobai was worried, and his pace became faster and faster.

Suddenly, he heard a howl in the dense fog, and suddenly, another huge monster rushed out from the slanting stab.

Another wild boar!
But not the one from yesterday!

This wild boar has no tusks, so it should be a sow. Wild boars are nocturnal creatures and like to forage at dusk or early morning. Wild boars living in human gathering areas tend to come out at night.

This should be a wild boar that has just finished foraging and is returning to its lair. It didn't expect to meet a person here, but I don't know if it was because it didn't find enough food at night, or because Gu Xiaobai was too small. Obviously it produced some kind of malevolence.

Its two eyes were fixed on Gu Xiaobai, flashing fiercely, and rushed up screaming.

At this moment, the sickle in Gu Xiaobai's hand swung round and slashed straight at the wild boar's neck.

With a "poof", there was a bloodstain, and the wild boar turned around and ran away in pain.

The wild boar hair was already very hard, but at this moment, the body was covered with rosin and dirt, like a thick layer of armor, Gu Xiaobai's sickle only brought some flesh wounds.

Gu Xiaobai shouted angrily: "Where are you running!"

Wielding a sickle, he chased after him, but he didn't catch up to the big wild boar, but he tripped over something and almost fell to the ground.

Looking down, a dazed little piggy was looking at him blankly.

In the bell foundry, Hua Yan's eyes were red.

He has not closed his eyes for days and nights.

At this moment, there are still two difficulties in casting this clock.

One is that the weather turns cold and the temperature drops, and the copper water loses temperature rapidly during the casting process, so there is no way to guarantee the temperature.

If you want to keep the copper water at an appropriate temperature during casting, you must either increase the furnace temperature or strengthen the heat preservation.

The temperature of the furnace has not been raised, but it is copper water with a temperature of more than 1000 degrees. It cannot be wrapped with a quilt to keep it warm.

And if you want to raise the temperature again, the open smelting furnace itself is made of thick clay, and it has limitations in heating up and storing it, so there is nothing to mention...

During this period of time, Hua Yan and other craftsmen worked hard and thought of various ways to improve the stove and increase manpower...

But the date is approaching, and there is only one clay model that has been prepared in advance.

Today is their only chance.

A carriage was parked in the bell foundry. Seng Daoyan's old face poked his head out from the window of the carriage, his dim eyes passed through the black smoke billowing casting site, quietly watching the casting site.

Around him, the soldiers and axemen were already sharpening their knives.

Although the 30th date has not yet come, but if today is not successful, they don't mind chopping off a few heads to show their prestige.

"Get ready to cast!" Hua Yan ordered hoarsely, and the craftsmen raised the furnaces again and poured the boiling copper water down.

The scorching hot copper water gathered above the sprue and slowly flowed down.

"Go on! Don't stop!"

The hot copper water converged into rolling magma, but the flow rate of the copper water became slower and slower, and the bottom showed signs of condensation.

"How could..." Seeing that the ending was still the same, Hua Yan's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.

Behind him, Hua Zhongjun was quietly watching the copper water above the pouring hole.

At this moment, she gritted her teeth suddenly, and said to Huayan: "Father, take good care of Xiaobai..." She rushed towards the pouring port.

"Zhong Jun!" Hua Yan was taken aback, "What are you going to do!"

Hua Zhongjun didn't dare to look back, she was afraid that if she turned around, she would never dare to do this thing again.

Anyway...Anyway, if you fail to make a bell, you will die. If you use your own death in exchange for father and Xiaobai's long life...

I'm worth it even if I die...

Xiaobai is so smart, he will definitely be able to inherit his father's craftsmanship and become the best coppersmith in the world, then I will be able to rest in peace...

She came over the sprue and jumped forward.

But before he jumped up, someone hugged his thigh.

"Sister!" Gu Xiaobai tightly hugged Hua Zhongjun's thigh.

"Xiaobai, let me go, let me go, let me go..." Hua Zhongjun struggled desperately.

"Don't be stupid, you are my sister, I won't let you die!" Gu Xiaobai hugged Hua Zhongjun tightly.

Absolutely, absolutely!
absolute! ! ! !
Never let you die! ! !

I have seen someone I care about die in front of me once, and I will never allow a second time!

"Come on, help me stop her!" Gu Xiaobai's strength alone is not as strong as Hua Zhongjun after all, and he is gradually about to be freed.

The coppersmiths around were all standing there, motionless.

They looked at Hua Zhongjun, but their eyes were full of hope.

The legend that casting bells first casts people has been passed down since ancient times, and it has been spread word of mouth among craftsmen. If it were not the case, Mr. Hua Zhong would never have known this legend.

But at this moment, who is willing to sacrifice himself?

Anyway, if you can't make it, you are just dead, so what if you die after you make it?
Before life and death, people's hearts are like knives, and each of them looks like they can't wait to step forward and push them down.

"You fucking..." Gu Xiaobai exploded.

Let that old monk kill you all!
In the distance, the old monk didn't want to kill these people, and even hoped that Hua Zhongjun would jump into the pit.

"If my sister dies, I'll kill all of you!" Gu Xiaobai glanced across the scene and gritted his teeth.

What kind of bell?Cast your mother to sell batches!
What craftsman, what monk Daoyan!What Ming Dynasty!

Believe it or not, I can kill the emperor Laoer on the dragon chair too!
Hua Zhongjun gradually broke free from Gu Xiaobai's grip, and was about to slip into the deep pit, at this moment, another hand stretched out from the side, and grabbed Hua Zhongjun tightly.

It was Hua Yan, who tried his best to pull Hua Zhongjun up.

Gu Xiaobai had no strength for a long time, he let go of his hand, and found that his teeth were all bitten, and he sat down beside him.

"Father, father, let me go, let me go..." Hua Zhongjun cried, "Xiaobai is still so young, I don't want Xiaobai to die, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"No, if you must cast people, then let me do it, you and Xiaobai are still young..."

The father and daughter cried together.

In fact, it was the father and son who hugged each other and cried, but Gu Xiaobai really didn't even have the strength to cry.

After a long time, he stood up and said, "If casting a human is useful, then casting a pig is no different. They are all spiritual things. Look..."

The little wild boar picked up by him was restrained here, surrounded by fireworks, so frightened that it trembled and did not dare to run around.

Gu Xiaobai turned around, kicked it into the deep pit with a flying kick.

With a sound of "Aw", the little pig howled miserably in the air.

What did I do wrong, why did you do this to me!

"It's useless at all, isn't it?" Gu Xiaobai pointed to the sprue.

I saw that the little pig didn't even utter a scream, it was cooked instantly, and then burned with a "wow".

The blazing flames caused the surrounding temperature to rise suddenly. This is a fat and tender suckling pig with a lot of fat on its body. The fat burned, which made the copper water that had already cooled down heat up again.

Gu Xiaobai: "Uh..."

It turns out that there is nothing wrong with the so-called legend that casting bells first casts people?
He sniffed, even the smoke and dust billowing around him could not cover up the strong smell of roast suckling pig.

"It's so fragrant!"
