AD 1042

Chapter 128 Chao Blacksmith 2

When the horse was raised, Chao's son also grew up, and he was old enough to marry a wife. Unexpectedly, the money had been spent on the horse for a long time, and his son's marriage was not settled.

Shaking the hammer is worried, and I don't know how to mention this to my son. The Hun family was not in a good mood. Looking at his son hitting iron at home all day long, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He didn't even make a bed, cook, or warm his quilt, and his heart burst into tears fell to the ground. After secretly discussing with her husband, the old hammer gritted his teeth and said, "If not, let's pull the horse elsewhere to sell it, exchange it for more silver and then take out a little to buy a pony. What you save will be for Fang'er to marry a daughter-in-law. What do you think?"

Chao's Hun family is also the owner who loves his son. As soon as he heard that his husband thought of a good way, let's do it like this.

A few days later, Chao Iron Hammer took advantage of the night to take the charcoal-like horse out of the village. He did not dare to stop on the road. After getting on the horse, he ran north as if flying. After running 20 miles in one breath, he rolled his saddled and landed. He was ready to rest, drink some water and eat some dry food. The horse also had to gasp and recover his foot strength.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a rainstorm fell in the sky, and the hanging river kept pouring down. Seeing that the flat dirt road turned into a muddy swamp, the deep and shallow foot could not move forward. The storm kept beating on the body. People were sleepy and had no place to hide. What should I do?

You should know that heavy rain is not a good omen, and it is even more inconvenient for pedestrians from south to north. In this windy and rainy weather, ordinary people will not go out, but Chao Hammer is forced to be helpless. Although he is not beautiful at this time, it is also a felony for him to buy and sell war horses without permission. If he is caught and does not die, he will have to take off the skin. Thinking of this, Chao Hammer summoned up his courage and said, the better it is, the better. This No one will see us in the heavy rain.

In this way, Chao Iron Hammer braved the wind and rain and slept in the wind and came to Zhukou Town, Yunzhou, north of Jingdong Road.

However, it is said that this Zhukou Town is rich in green bamboo and has a quiet environment. 30 miles southwest of Yanggu City, there is no city, and most people live by raising pigs and digging bamboo shoots. Later, the county government moved here and slowly built a city.

There is another good story about the relocation of this county government office. Let's say that the terrain of Yanggu County is too low and too close to the water. Every time it rains, it will flood the county. Over time, the foundation of Yanggu County began to be damaged, and the county government office could not work normally. After several times, the government instructed the county government to move to Zhukou Town in the upper reaches!

On this day, Cai Zhixian rode a horse to Zhukou Town. Because it was the first time he came here since he took office. After seeing the green bamboo all over the mountains, he suddenly became cheerful. In the past few days, the haze that had been trapped in the city was swept away. He quickly asked his men to cross the bridge to enter the city.

It is said that the city is actually an ancient town with no wall. There is only a short north-south street within 30 miles of crossing the bridge. The newly picked blue stone on the street is said to welcome the official road of Zhixian. After getting off the official road, there is a dirt road. There are five large and small villages on the east and west sides. These five villages are famous: the big temple, the gate, the sand nest, the lotus pond and the furnace.

The five villages have a long history, and they are all descendants of the two local Wang clans. One of the two great families is Zhu and the other is Hu. The North-South Street just separates the village surnamed Zhu from the village surnamed Hu.

The village in the east is surnamed Zhu - under the jurisdiction of the two major villages, Dasi Village and Guanmenkou Village.

The village in the west is Hu surname - under the jurisdiction of three small villages, Shawo Village, Lianhuachi Village and Luli Village.

When Cai Zhixian came to Zhukou Town, the east and west villages sent their own owners to congratulate him. The old owner of Zhujiazhuang offered a large plate of pearls, famous sea pearls, full of particles and crystal clear. He looked at Cai Zhixian's hands and applauded.

The owner of Hujiazhuang is a teenager. His sister accompanied him to the county government to present a good horse, a famous red rabbit. Cai Zhixian is also a person who loves horses. As soon as he sees that the red rabbit's hair is shiny and his eyes are like electricity, he knows that it is a good horse, and he doesn't go too much to investigate whether the name of the red rabbit is worthy or not. Anyway, this is also his intention. Just accept it.

Speaking of this, let's mention the owner of the red rabbit. He said that the owner of the red rabbit is not someone else but a hammer. He worked so hard to come to Zhukou Town, Yunzhou. He planned to cross the river to sell horses in the famous mansion. Unexpectedly, when he came to this place, he was entangled, and the dry food had been eaten up for a long time. He was so hungry that he was dizzy and powerless. Before that he was After being caught in the rain all night, I planted the root of the disease and came to my door as soon as I walked into the village of the third surnamed Hujia.

His body is hot and does not retreat, his head is heavy and his feet are light, and he falls to the ground and unconscious.

Seeing that his life was not in order, a teenager ran out of the village of Hujia with three surnames. The young man was a tiger's head and his head was so cute. He waved his hand and three strong men ran out of the village behind him. He carried Chao's hammer into the village with seven hands and eight feet, not to mention it for the time being.

He only said that Chao's hammer was blessed by misfortune and was saved by the people in Hujia Village. He knew that the young man in front of him was Hu Dalang, the young owner of Hujiazhuang, and quickly fell down to thank him for saving his life.

Hu Dalang looked at the bearded hammer and pulled the old man up and said, "The old man doesn't have to make such a big gift. The younger generation can't stand it. I'm happy to help others to save your life. You don't have to be polite."

People say that you don't have to be polite, but it's just polite. Who is Chao Hammer? He is also a warm-hearted man. He quickly replied, "The old man's life-saving kindness is unforgettable. In order to repay the life-saving kindness, the old man is willing to offer the tall horse he rode. Please don't refuse, otherwise the old man will live here without face. "

Hu Dalang laughed and said, "I think the old man must also go out. If I take your horse, how can you hurry? Is it possible to walk thousands of miles by with your feet? When will you go?"

Chao Hammer also knows that this is not appropriate, but he is penniless. What do you tell him to thank him? They saved your life. What is it? If it is hard to compare, human life is still important, so Chao Iron Hammer is ruthlessly determined that you must accept my horse, or I won't leave. .

As soon as Hu Dalang heard that he didn't leave, he was immediately happy and said that he was an upright man. That's all, I'll take your horse, but I won't treat you badly.

To make a long story short, Hu Dalang took the horse of Chao's hammer and took in the Chao hammer for a few days. When he was completely cured, he asked someone to send him ten taels of silver to say that the horse was worth a hundred taels, and he sent these ten taels to go home.

Ten taels. Chao hammer has never seen what ten taels look like when he grows so big. After saying no, he reluctantly accepted it, and then thanked Hu Dalang face to face again. Hu Dalang said, "If the old man has something to do in the future, he can come to Zhuang. I am willing to make friends from all walks of life!"

Chao Tiechui was very happy. After agreeing, he left the boundary of Zhukou Town and went back to his hometown.
