Chapter 104: Xiaoya
After Tang Qin's mention, Bai Chen became very interested in this casting master.
"However, a master who can forge an artifact to protect the country will not easily forge weapons for others, right?" Lin Mengyao was a little worried.
She didn't want to reveal her Lin family's identity when she went to Shengtian College this time.
For this reason, she can be regarded as traveling lightly, except for the money she brought, she really didn't bring out any decent treasures.
"It's okay, go and have a look first!"
Unmoved, Bai Chen drank the last sip of herbal tea, then got up and went back to the house to pack his things.
Under Tang Qin's guidance, the three of them quickly found a secluded small thatched cottage.
This small thatched cottage is located between the valleys at the northern end of Maicheng, an uninhabited place, standing alone.
Although this place is hidden among the mountains and forests, beside the clear water, when Bai Chen and others came, they could smell a strong smell of iron rust from afar.
Leaping over the small river, before the three of them came to the wooden house, they all saw clearly the scraps of iron and steel all over the yard.
Rusty shovels, rusty iron rods, rusty broken armor, as if everything was covered with rust due to years of wind and rain.
"Are you sure that casting master is in this kind of place?" Bai Chen couldn't help looking at Tang Qin with suspicion.
"If you don't believe me, we can leave now!" Tang Qin stomped his feet with a look of displeasure.
"Okay, it's all here, let's go and have a look first!"
Seeing that the two were arguing again, Lin Mengyao quickly stood in the middle, then glared at Bai Chen angrily, telling him to stop talking.
At this moment, the wooden door of the thatched cottage was suddenly pushed open, and the three of them stared away in an instant.
Beside the dilapidated wooden door, a little girl in burlap was staring curiously at her big smart eyes. This girl looked only seven or eight years old, with a flushed little face. looked dazed.
"Excuse me, is Master God at home?"
His eyes fell on the little girl with doubts, Tang Qin cupped his hands first, and said respectfully.
As the saying goes, sea water cannot be measured, and people cannot be judged by their appearance.
It is definitely not an unusual thing to see a little girl wearing only a thin cloth in such a remote environment.
The little girl tilted her head and stared carefully at Tang Qin who was speaking. After a while, a tender and ethereal voice came from her mouth.
"You are looking for Grandpa Tang, he left the house early in the morning."
Don?
Hearing this surname, the three of them couldn't help being taken aback.
Could it be that this casting god hidden in the wild country is actually a Fengyan man?
"Little sister, did he say when he will come back?"
As if attracted by Tang Qin's elegant and delicate appearance, the little girl's cute little face was full of surprise: "I didn't say that, but Grandpa Tang comes back to drink medicine every afternoon."
"That's it..."
Tang Qin withdrew his gaze, turned to Bai Chen, blinked and said, "Brother Bai Chen, why don't we just wait here for a while, and clean up the house for Grandpa Tang by the way."
Staring at the light flowing in Tang Qin's beautiful eyes, Bai Chen instantly understood her deep meaning, and immediately nodded with a faint smile.
There is always no harm in showing some sincerity in visiting such a worldly expert!
"Little sister, is it convenient for us to bother you here, because we are really eager to find Grandpa Tang."
"It's not in a hurry to come here to find grandpa." The little girl wrinkled her nose and muttered, "Besides, she's not called little sister, she has a name."
This little girl's demeanor is very cute, even Bai Chen couldn't help but want to hug her and lift her up.
"Then, what's your name?"
With her little hands behind her back, Tang Qin walked straight to the little girl, bent down and smiled at her.
"My name is Xiaoya, this is the name my grandfather gave me!"
Xiaoya?
Staring at the woman's big amber eyes, the next moment, Bai Chen's expression was extremely serious.
What does it feel like and why do I...
Not noticing Bai Chen's strangeness, Tang Qin took his hand and came to the pile of scrap iron in the courtyard, saying: "Brother Bai Chen, I will leave these things to you, and then I will leave the cleaning of the house to you." Brother Mengyuan."
"What about you?" Bai Chen was taken aback.
Hearing this, Tang Qin jumped to Xiaoya's side in two steps, stepped on his feet and smiled calmly: "Of course I'm chatting with our Xiaoya."
"..."
Speechlessly shaking his head, Bai Chen didn't bother to talk to her anymore.
Who made her a girl.
Poor Lin Mengyao, who is also a woman, but has to work like Bai Chen.
The best way to remove rust is to use a good Qingyu stone, polish it smooth, and then use an iron whetstone to remove rust.
Bai Chen first found a piece of Qingyu Stone, and then came to the courtyard, facing the scrap iron that was full of courtyards, it was just a grind.
Grinding iron, like fishing, can exercise a person's state of mind.
Obviously, Bai Chen was not impatient, even though he had been sharpening a shovel for half an hour, he was still not a little impatient.
Lin Mengyao had never done rough work before, and he cleaned the house with clumsy methods, and his back was sore.
"Sister Tang Qin, you are really different."
Being praised by such a seven-and-a-half-year-old child, Tang Qin couldn't help but sniggered, and said, "What's different?"
"When others come here, they wait patiently outside the yard, but you actually come to help grandpa clean the room and clean up the broken iron."
For Xiaoya, this was the first time she encountered such a situation.
But anyone who comes to find Master Shenshi is asking for it.
If you want something from others, you must please others.
But the eccentric temperament of Master Shenshi is well known in the wild country.
Let alone you help him clean the room, will he accept your favor.
Once the Master God Master is angered because of some well-intentioned things, it will be really superfluous, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, when faced with such a choice, others chose to stand silently outside the courtyard and wait.
Unflattering, maybe no advantage, but at least if you don’t make mistakes, you still have a chance.
Furthermore, coming to find Master God to build armor and weapons, to put it bluntly, is to talk about a very big deal.
Doing business depends on whether your bid will meet the wishes of the god master.
If the price is not in place, clever mouth will be in vain, if the price is in place, the tin can will be dry and smashed!
Therefore, these things that Bai Chen and others did are really dispensable, nothing is better than something.
The three of them didn't care about this.
Since Master Tang is called Grandpa Tang by Xiaoya, it means that he is very old.
An old man and a child.
Helping them take care of the garden is also a good deed.
Lin Mengyao has always been kind-hearted, and Bai Chen is also willing to do what she likes.
As for Tang Qin, she had her own plans in mind!
