Chapter 40: Revisiting the Blacksmith

"I... don't... I'm dead...ah...um..." The kid cried bitterly, heart-wrenching.

Lan Ge'er and I looked at the baby who was very pitiful, asked about the situation and comforted her, and finally we were so cooled that the baby was not crying.

I wanted him to enter the house but felt that it was not a good idea to let a dead person enter the yard, but in the end I didn't think too much and persuaded the kid to enter the yard. I asked him to rest in the thatched house next to me first.

The next day, after persuasion, he found a piece of land for the baby to bury his mother. On the day of burying his mother, the baby kowtowed solemnly in front of me, and could not stop him, and insisted on recognizing me as his master. I saw that the baby was really pitiful. If it was his own life and in the chaotic world, he would be solemnly and late to starve to death, so he agreed. At this point, the baby followed me and kept silent and called me Master. I recognized this apprentice.

The first apprentice after coming to the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing me tell the origin of the child, Uncle Qin asked, "Why are you not seeing this child often on weekdays?"

I said, "Oh, this kid is very stubborn. He originally arranged a room for him, but he ran to his mother's grave every day and had food and accommodation there. There was no way. I asked Jianfeng and Guan Yang and the others to help him build a shed there. Anyway, he came over when he was hungry."

Aunt Qin looked at the child and said, "He is really a filial child." Before he finished speaking, he saw that the fire kid had put four fried dough sticks into his mouth, and quickly added, "It's just that he can eat so much."

"Who said no? Since he came, our meals have more than doubled." I smiled bitterly.

Uncle Qin asked curiously again: "Does he not have a name? Why do you call him Huowa? Where is his father?"

"I have a name, it seems that my surname is Jia, and my name is Jia Desheng, but I call him Huowa. You don't know that the weather is getting colder and we are all wearing thick enough. He just shoulders, he doesn't wear clothes for him, and doesn't cover things when he sleeps in the middle of the night. It seems that I really don't know that it's cold, so I called him Huowa. My father died long ago. It was because his father died and his mother knew that he could not support him, so she brought him to join the relatives here. As a result, the relatives were not found, but, alas..." I sighed.

"What should I do in the future? I will support him, he is edible." Uncle Qin exclaimed.

"What should I do if I don't raise it? Just eat this food. I will starve to death in a few days when I go outside. Fortunately, our conditions are still OK now, so I will raise it first." I said helplessly.

At this time, Xie Jianfeng was also there and interrupted, "Hmph, I have raised a free meal and I don't work. I have eaten too much and I have nothing to do!"

Just as I was about to say Jianfeng, the Huowaer suddenly stopped talking and said, "I will do whatever my master asks me to do in the future."

Everyone was happy when they heard this, and I asked with a smile: "Huowa, why did you know you were going to work today?" Because in the past, Huowa left when she was full and never mentioned the work.

Huowaer said in a muffled voice: "My mother said that you should be kind to others. Master is a good person. If you adopt me, I will repay Master."

I was happy, and a warm current rose in my heart. Who said that this apprentice was doing nothing? Isn’t this very sensible?

As soon as I was happy, I said to everyone: "Did you see it? My apprentice said that he doesn't eat anything but simplified food, and he will do whatever he wants."

Then he thought of another thing: "Huowa, then you still live outside tonight?"

The Huowaer unexpectedly shook his head: "No need, last night, my mother asked me to dream and said she would not let me guard her anymore, so she asked me to follow her. I would live wherever my master lives, and I would do whatever my master asked me to do."

Hey, this kid is quite interesting. I was about to say something, but I felt that the people around me looked strange, especially Aunt Qin was already very close to the kid, so she was still away from it.

After thinking about it carefully, it was because of what Huowa said about dreaming.

I don't care, and I don't take this into account.

Suddenly, I thought of Qiu Dalang asking me to see his father Qiu Blacksmith, so I decided to go and see him while I have time.

As soon as we arranged for older children like Xie Jianfeng to make a bed for Huowa. After the arrangement was made, I told Lan Geer and Uncle Qin and his wife that I would go to Qiu Blacksmith. Uncle Qin and his wife said, "You go, we and Lan Geer are here, and some brothers from outside, so there will be no problem."

Seeing that Uncle Qin and the others understood my thoughts, I felt much more at ease. Thinking about it, there should be nothing wrong in the poor alley. I prepared some gifts, which can be regarded as a gift to Uncle Qiu.

If it weren't for Blacksmith Qiu's armor, I would have lost my life just by those axes yesterday.

I have no gifts to pay back my gifts. Keep my promises and do my best to take good care of the Qiu family Erlang Sanlang.

Just as I was about to go out with the gift, I saw a figure snatching me and picking up the big bag of gifts.

When I saw it, it was Huo Waer. I wondered, "Huo Waer, what are you doing?"

Huowaer said, "My mother said, let me follow you and protect you, so I will go wherever you go."

Hey, this kid is so stubborn. I'm not going to have a little bit of a tail, no, I have to talk to his mother, ah, let's forget it. Mom, I still won't go find him.

I advised Huowaer not to go, but Huowaer didn't say a word, just stayed still. He looked like a stubborn person. Oh, forget it, just follow it, but fortunately there was someone carrying a bag.

I was puzzled in my heart: This kid is not old and has a very strong strength. The pig I prepared for Uncle Qiu is more than 100 kilograms. It's hard for me to carry it. He can carry it like nothing else. It's strange. How can this little arm and calves come from so much strength?

"Uncle Qiu, you're at home."

"Ha, Brother Yong is here, hurry up, hurry up, come and sit down." Uncle Qiu was very happy to see me coming home and hurriedly let me in. When he saw Huo's baby coming, he didn't care at first. At first, he thought it was just a gift. When he didn't leave, he couldn't help asking, "Whose family is this baby? How do you look at him?"

"Oh, I'm a newly accepted apprentice. I always like to follow me if I have nothing to do. Today I'll let him meet you. Come on, Huo Wa, call me Grandpa Qiu." According to generation, my name is Uncle Qiu, so Huo Wa should naturally call me Grandpa.

Who knew that Huo Wa glanced at Uncle Qiu, but didn't say anything, sat still without moving, making me feel embarrassed.

"Uh, this child is still young and has never seen the world. Don't care."

Uncle Qiu didn't care about this big-sized child either. He just asked me how the situation was. I didn't hide it and explained everything that happened yesterday to Uncle Qiu clearly.

Uncle Qiu listened silently, not as surprised as I imagined. It was not until Huang Chao and the others finally killed all the people who fell to the ground in the Iron Axe Gang, and broke into the county government to kill the county magistrate, the county magistrate and the leader of the Iron Axe Gang. Then he raised his eyebrows and nodded.

After hearing what I said, Uncle Qiu said for a while: "I didn't expect that Huang Chao is really a character and has some tricks."

Somehow, I always feel that Uncle Qiu is not a simple person. Just because I just talked about what Huang Chao did vividly, most people have long been shocked, but he has not made any big reactions.

I suddenly remembered that when Huang Chao saw me, he asked me a name, and I asked, "Uncle, have you ever heard of Qiu Tiannan?"

Uncle Qiu turned his head and stared at me. His eyes accidentally burst out. The lustful momentum rose again, which scared me so much that I couldn't help but feel a thrill. I hurriedly said, "Yesterday Huang Chao asked me, but Qiu Tiannan's successor, I don't know this person, so I asked Uncle Qiu, you, hehe, there's nothing else." I quickly explained with a little awkwardness.

Uncle Qiu raised his head and understood where I was asking, and his face slowed down. The awe-inspiring momentum instantly dissipated, as if it had never been.

Then Uncle Qiu took a casual sip of tea and said, "I heard that, but I have died for many years."
