He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 43 The Figure in the Moonlight (Fourth Update)

In the evening, Jiang Lin looked at the message as he walked out of the blacksmith shop.

[Skill 1: Firemaking Lv6 (Proficiency 4818/5000)]

He nodded slightly. It was indeed very fast to burn four stoves at the same time. With another day, his fire-making skills should be able to reach level 7.

I don’t know if there will be any other improvements besides the original effects.

When they arrived at the dining tent, most people had already finished their meal and left. Some apprentices were deliberately taking their time cleaning up, but when they saw Jiang Lin coming, they all waved quickly.

"Master Jiang, we'll be done cleaning up in no time!"

"If you see anything missing, just let me know!"

These people were obviously seeking credit, and Jiang Lin gave them face and said a few nice words, and then they left with great satisfaction.

Lifting the lid of the pot and taking the rice, Jiang Lin ran to Old Man Wei and said as he ate, "I should be able to become a formal blacksmith after the regular test this year. The foundry will allocate real estate to us, so why don't we live together?"

Although Old Man Wei was a member of the frontier army, he suffered an old injury in his early years and is now old. Jiang Lin is always worried that something bad will happen to him quietly one day.

If we can move in together, it will be easier to take care of him.

Old Man Wei turned to look at him and said, "Why bring a burden with you when there is nothing to do?"

"Then I would like to ask you why you leave an extra bowl of rice for no reason." Jiang Lin said.

Old Man Wei seemed to understand what he meant, but did not answer. He just stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, and walked away leading the donkey cart.

He was a man of few words, and Jiang Lin was used to it. He just thought that Master Wei didn't seem to like living with anyone.

If he refuses, should I continue to persuade him?

You should still persuade him. The old man wants to save face, so maybe he will agree if you ask him a few more times.

Jiang Lin actually didn't think that Old Man Wei was a burden. He just felt that since others were kind to him, he had to repay them in some way.

There isn’t much I can do at the moment, so moving in together and helping take care of the kids is my best effort.

Old man Wei, who was pulling the donkey cart, looked back at the young man who was eating from his bowl while sitting under the dining shed.

The bright moonlight seemed to allow people to clearly see him chewing each grain of rice.

So serious and so patient.

It can be finished in just a few bites, but it always feels like I am tasting some delicacies from the land and the sea.

He knows how to cherish.

Old Man Wei turned around and continued to pull the donkey cart forward.

When he arrived at the house where he lived, he pushed open the door and went in. He came out soon after and then left the blacksmith camp.

Walking slowly along the road, crossing the stone bridge and passing through a forest, the huge training ground is already visible.

Nanling Camp!

Old Man Wei didn't come here often, and it wasn't anything important. He was determined not to disturb his former colleagues.

The soldier at the door was very familiar with him, and he quickly ran over and asked, "Master Wei, why are you here so late?"

"Please ask Lieutenant General Liao to come out and have a chat." said Old Man Wei.

The soldier didn't try to persuade him to go in and wait, but turned and ran into the barracks.

Not long after, Liao Mingxu came over, wiping the grease from his mouth, and laughed from afar: "Master Wei, you came just in time. We roasted a few sheep today, and the brothers are drinking. You can join us!"

"No."

Old Man Wei shook his head and handed over the thing in his hand: "This is the Qi and Blood Exchange Pill."

"What?"

Liao Mingxu took it from him. It was wrapped in three layers of linen inside and outside. He opened it layer by layer, and then was slightly stunned.

It was a knife, made entirely of silver, with various intricate patterns on the surface, and the handle was wrapped in delicate lambskin.

There is a gem engraved on the scabbard, which looks very valuable.

Liao Mingxu was surprised and said, "Isn't this what you captured when you fought against the Yuan Dynasty?" Old Man Wei didn't take much with him when he left the border army. This knife was one of the few items.

It's not too expensive, but it has extraordinary significance.

Only after obtaining this trophy was Old Man Wei promoted to the rank of centurion.

Over the years, he has always kept it as a treasure and never thought of using it.

But now, he used it to exchange for Qi and Blood Pill from Liao Mingxu.

Liao Mingxu immediately understood his purpose and asked, "Is it for the kid named Jiang Lin? I'll take care of it. I'll have someone send it over tomorrow."

Liao Mingxu said this and returned the knife.

Although Qi and Blood Pills are precious, they are not very rare for a third-rank lieutenant general.

Old Man Wei kept his hands hanging down, showing no intention of taking it.

"One thing for another, you don't owe me, and I don't owe you."

Although his eyes were cloudy, they gave people a feeling of unusual determination.

Liao Mingxu understood his character and knew that once he made a decision, it would not change because of anyone.

But he couldn’t quite understand. Was it worth doing this for that kid named Jiang Lin?

Although Liao Mingxu also likes Jiang Lin's personality and character, I heard that he seemed to have not been in the Southern Blacksmith Camp for long?
Two months? Or three months?
Even if it takes half a year, it's not worth it for Old Man Wei to exchange this knife for the Qi and Blood Pill.

"He said that when he becomes a blacksmith, he would let me move in with him." Old Man Wei suddenly said.

Liao Mingxu was stunned. These words sounded very ordinary, but he could sense something different in them.

Old Man Wei never married in his life, and after retiring from the border army, he rarely interacted with others.

Even though countless people have come and gone in the Blacksmith Camp over the years, only a few can really talk to him.

This is an old widower who lives almost exclusively in his own world for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he recognized Jiang Lin and was recognized by Jiang Lin.

Are these two father and son going to become real father and son?
Liao Mingxu's eyes were full of smiles as he said, "Okay, it would be nice to find a grandson to take care of you in your old age."

"I don't recognize him as my grandson." Old man Wei said, with a kind of stubbornness in his words that was difficult to express.

"Okay, okay, I didn't recognize him. I didn't recognize him." Liao Mingxu laughed and said, "That guy is really good. I like him even more now!"

"He won't join the army." Old Man Wei said again, this time his tone sounded even more stubborn.

Liao Mingxu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Got it. I'll have someone deliver the Qi and Blood Pill tomorrow."

Old Man Wei nodded, then turned and left.

Watching the old man limping away, the soldier at the door came over and asked in a low voice: "Sir, who is that person named Jiang Lin? How could you trouble me to come and ask for it in person?"

"who is it?"

Liao Mingxu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "A little blacksmith who may become quite famous in the future."

The soldier was puzzled. Blacksmith?
What's so great about a blacksmith? Isn't it just forging iron?

Liao Mingxu did not explain. He just watched the old man Wei's figure gradually disappear into the night, and then looked down at the sword in his hand.

Liao Mingxu carefully wrapped it up in linen and put it in his arms carefully before returning to the camp.

Under the moonlight, the figure of Old Man Wei walking alone with a limp became longer and longer.

Pull higher and higher.

The stars in the sky seemed to become brighter spontaneously, illuminating the path ahead for him.
