I am Changsheng in Daqin

Chapter 34 Talk
It was cold and windy outside, and there were only a few people on the street.

There was a blazing fire in the blacksmith's furnace, and the hammers were rising and falling on the chopping block.

puff!
A big bag of rice hits the chopping board.

"Widows don't eat the food that comes from you. You should leave this grain for yourself."

Wu Er Er's mother brought back the rice that Li Qing sent yesterday, threw it on the cutting board, and turned away after speaking.

Li Qing was startled.

'This old stubborn ass is such a fucking dick! '

Looking at Wu Laoer's mother's back, Li Qing felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

To say when did this feeling of familiarity begin, it should have started when he chased the masked woman in black that night.

'Hey, this old woman is not on crutches today! '

While Li Qing was puzzled, he suddenly remembered the scene when Wu Laoer dragged the alchemist and walked like flying.

'The pace was exactly the same as that of the masked woman.

'Could it be that... this old woman is the watcher Qingke mentioned? '

Something doesn't make sense.

figure!

Their bodies are completely different.

One is slim and graceful.

A man with a stooped back and a dirty face.

'Wait a minute, Wu Lao'er didn't hunch his back when he was dragging the alchemist forward...'

'Could she be pretending on purpose? '

'Yes, she must be faking it. '

Li Qing was thinking about this, and he was almost certain that Wu Laoer was the monitor.

'Otherwise, why would I see her every time I go out?

'Especially she knew that Xiaoyue was poisoned, and even more that the rice that Master Jiang gave was poisonous. '

Li Qing finally knew why Wu Laoer's mother was sitting on the stone pier opposite the iron shop all year round like clocking in.

At first, I really thought she was just a crossroads killer who had nothing to do with her family. It turned out that she was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking!
At this moment, a mystery in Li Qing's heart was finally solved.

'However, I always feel that there are still many things that don't make sense.

'For example, the captured blacksmith has already cut off all contact with the outside world, so why worry about them contacting their families? It is meaningless and contradictory to send a master to monitor them all year round. '

'Unless... King Qin has other purposes. '

At this time, a middle-aged uncle came to the iron shop.

"Li Qing, are you busy, have my two hoes come out?"

"Hey, it's Uncle Zuo. He finished it a while ago yesterday. I'll get it for you."

Li Qing said, taking out the prepared hoe from the lower layer of the chopping board.

"Here, here's the wages." Uncle Zuo took out ten copper shells and handed them to Li Qing.

"Uncle Zuo, you gave me too much, just six." Li Qing said hurriedly.

Uncle Zuo came up to Li Qing and whispered: "You killed Master Jiang and eliminated harm for the people. You also taught the county magistrate a lesson and made the people angry. It's too late for everyone to thank you. This little money is nothing." , take it.”

"It takes a little effort, haha!" Li Qing smiled and took the money.

After Uncle Zuo left, Li Qing took down a halberd from the shelf.

This halberd is currently only a semi-finished product.

Heat the halberd head red and start forging it.

As the hammer falls, the sharpest point gradually takes shape.

After cooling, continue to put it into the furnace for secondary calcination.

Just as Li Qing turned the halberd over, his tragus suddenly trembled, and he suddenly heard a sharp sound breaking through the air.

call out!
An unknown object flew over at high speed.

Li Qing didn't raise his head, and could determine the location of the unknown object just by relying on his ears.

He raised his eyes slightly and saw a piece of gravel close at hand.

boom!
A crisp sound.

Li Qing used his halberd pole to block the gravel.

when!
Gravel fell into the furnace, and a spark flew up.

"Good ears! Good eyesight! Good skills!"

A familiar voice praised him from a few feet away.

Li Qing took a closer look and saw that it was a groundhog.

"You came just in time. I was just looking for you. If I hadn't been so busy these two days, I would have gone to Black Wind Stronghold." Li Qing put down his work and said.

"Oh? Why are you looking for me?" The woodchuck entered the iron shop, holding a pot in his left hand and a bowl in his right hand, and began to drink by himself unceremoniously.

"Of course I'm asking for help. Is it possible that I can give you a gift?"

Li Qing said, took the kettle, poured a bowl, finished drinking, and continued: "Why did you show up at the county government office? What did you say to the county magistrate? Why don't you give me a reasonable explanation today? , we will never be friends again."

The woodchuck looked at Li Qing with a guilty look on his face, sighed, and said, "The county magistrate is too cunning. In short, if I knew that the person they were interrogating was you, I wouldn't come forward at all. Believe it or not. "

Li Qing believed it in his heart, but he had to say what he had to say.

When he was at the county government office, it could be seen from the groundhog's reaction that he really had no idea.

If he really has trouble with Li Qing, let alone helping him, and not adding insult to injury, Li Qing will have to recite Amitabha.

On this point, Li Qing felt like a mirror.

"When you come this time, you must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right?" Li Qing continued to forge.

While playing with the iron tools, the woodchuck said, "Two brothers are missing from Black Wind Village. You...don't you know?"

Li Qing knew immediately who the marmot was talking about.

Let's not mention this matter, Li Qing will be even more annoyed if he mentions it.

The two minions came to steal the templates at night and were shot dead by Li Qing and Haitang.

The body was hidden by Li Qing in Feng Liu's coffin shop.

It wasn't until the body suffocated in the coffin that Feng Liu discovered it.

Feng Liu went to the county government to report the crime.

But was perfunctory by the magistrate.

At this time, the two rotting corpses had already been thrown into a mass grave outside the city.

"How would I know? It's strange, there are fewer people in Black Wind Village, why would I know?"

The groundhog was speechless by Li Qing's rhetorical question.

Li Qing smiled slyly: "Is it because your master sent them to find me because he was unhappy, and ended up with no one alive but no corpse?"

The groundhog was embarrassed for a while: "I'm ashamed to say that the boss loves the iron beads you made. In order to get rid of it once and for all, he sent them to your house to steal the template. It has been several days and there has been no news from them, so he sent me to investigate. "

"To be honest, I really didn't see it."

Li Qing said something perfunctory, stopped the hammer, his expression was gloomy, and his tone was low:

"Speaking of the template, it has been destroyed by me. Since Mr. Jiang's death, the iron beads have been bothering me. I will never make iron beads like that again."

Li Qing was a top student at the Drama Academy in his previous life. When he traveled back in time, his acting skills didn't drop at all.

The groundhog nodded believing it, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "What a pity!"

"After talking so much, are you disappointed?" Li Qing asked.

The woodchuck glanced at Li Qing. He understood that Li Qing was about to issue an eviction order. He sighed and said seriously:
“Brother, if I were you, I would readily accept the order from Black Wind Village.

“Everything can be discussed by then.

"As far as I know, Mr. Jiang's case has been passed over in a blur, and the turmoil in Tiezhu has also subsided.

"With such good skills, it's really a pity not to use it. Besides, your slingshot shooting is superb, so of course you can't do without such a good iron ball."

After the groundhog finished speaking, he stood up to leave.

Li Qing shouted: "What do you want to express?"

The groundhog smiled lightly: "I'm your friend, and I can talk to you calmly. If the boss comes, I won't be so polite."

"Hey, speak clearly before leaving." Li Qing put down his halberd and chased after him.

"Li Qing, take care of yourself!" After saying the last sentence, the woodchuck turned and left.

Li Qing watched the groundhog drift away and said to himself: "He didn't believe a word of what I said. This kid... is more evil than me!" '
