Carefree hadn't been idle for the past two days either. He was looking for a type of ore. He needed to forge a special weapon that was suitable for him, as well as a strong and durable heart-protecting mirror. Now he needed something to protect himself. In ancient times, only force could make people survive. Force could build a new country, force could overthrow an old dynasty, force could also make you a hero who could roam the world freely. Only martial strength could prevent you from being bullied and looked down upon by others.
Actually, wasn't it the same in the modern world? The powerful countries would bully and suppress the weak countries. Some countries tried every possible way to find excuses to impose economic and political dictatorship on them. If some countries rebelled, then the powerful countries would start a large-scale war. After the war ended, the weak countries naturally could not afford to suffer serious economic losses, so some big countries took the opportunity to invade the market, occupy and monopolize the market. After they gained complete control of the entire country, the big countries would sit down and calmly discuss how to rebuild the country. Humph, to put it bluntly, it was a matter of how to divide it up!
In fact, this was not a problem of the era, but a problem of humanity itself.
He didn't want to think about it anymore. Carefree felt dizzy whenever he thought about these things. After all, he was not a politician. He was just a wandering poet. Other than writing a poem to express his feelings when he was annoyed, what else could he do?
"Found it."
The next evening, Carefree finally found the ore he was looking for. It was a very special kind of ore. It was dark green and extremely hard. Carefree had seen it in a book given to him by Soundless Bull. The ore was called green iron, and its chemical composition could not be explained with ordinary knowledge. Carefree did not bother to investigate. After all, Carefree's chemistry grades had always been below the passing line. He hated chemistry to the core. This kind of ore was considered rare in the world. Carefree had originally planned to look for another kind of ore that was more common. He did not expect to accidentally pick up a treasure.
Coincidentally, the fire outside had been extinguished, so Carefree decided to leave this place that made him sad, forever. Perhaps he would return many years later, if he was still alive.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving."
Carefree kneeled in front of Snail's grave and kowtowed three times. The moment he turned around, a drop of tears fell from Carefree's eyes. He didn't wipe it away. He just let it flow. Perhaps it would never flow again. Then, Carefree left without looking back.
Carefree put the ores and cured meat into a leftover gunny sack and carried it down the mountain.
It was dark, and the moonlight shone on the bare hillside.
I suspect it's frost on the ground.
In fact, Carefree had to thank the fire. Because of the fire, all the animals in the forest ran to other mountains, including the wolves that Carefree was most afraid of.
However, the night was not quiet. There would always be one or two noises or the cries of the nightingales. Carefree walked alone. His steps were very big, and he was like an arrow. The further she walked, the better. Once she walked, she would not think about her grandfather anymore and would not cry anymore. Carefree thought to himself innocently. He quickened his pace. The sack on his back was bouncing. Although the hard ore was not heavy, it was inevitable that it would hurt when it hit his back.
At this moment, the moon seemed to have sensed Carefree's worries. She seemed to be sad for Carefree too. A black cloud came over and wiped her tears.
The moonlight disappeared, and Carefree's only source of light was gone.
Because Carefree was walking very fast, and because he couldn't see the road clearly, he only felt that his feet were hooked by something. Then, due to inertia, his body tilted forward and he fell headfirst. He rolled down the hill like a ball.
Fortunately, the surrounding trees were sparse, and the grass was intact. Carefree fell on the grass and didn't suffer much damage. He just felt a little dizzy.
He simply didn't get up and lay on the grass. He looked up at the sky and saw the stars twinkling. They were like charming pairs of eyes, making people feel happy.
As he watched, Carefree fell asleep. He was really too tired. His body was tired, and his heart was tired.
Sleep, child. Get a good night's sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning, the golden sunlight will belong to you.
The morning sun shone selflessly on the Divine Great Land. All living things woke up except for the carefree.
Perhaps Carefree was really tired. At this moment, his limbs were spread out in a big shape and he was still sleeping on the grass.
"Hey, isn't that Old Wo's disciple?”
At this moment, a short man with thick arms, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, walked towards Carefree. He knew Carefree?
"Little brother, little brother, wake up.”
Carefree was woken up by someone in his sleep. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the man who disturbed his sleep angrily.
"Little brother, you are still alive."
What did he mean? Could it be that he really wanted to die a carefree death?
The man saw Carefree looking at him coldly and felt that the atmosphere was not right. He thought about what he had just said and realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He quickly explained," Little brother, please don't misunderstand. What I meant was that you actually survived the fire. This is really a miracle." Oh right, since you are still alive, where is your master, Soundless Bull?”
Carefree looked at the man carefully. He felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere in the past two days.
"Grandfather passed away. He was killed by someone.”Carefree felt that he meant no harm, so he told the man the truth.
"Sigh, he still left. She had persisted for more than twenty years, but he had finally left.”The man was dejected. His eyes were as moist as Carefree's.
"Uncle, you are…"
"Oh, I'm the blacksmith from Wuxi. My name is Da Niu. Four days ago, I went to visit Soundless Bull. At that time, weren't you learning how to forge a good iron sword from Soundless Bull? Hey, my memory isn't good. Please tell me your name again.”
"My name is Carefree, Uncle Daniu."
"Heh, don't call me that. What Uncle Bull? Just call me Uncle Bull.”
"Alright, Uncle Bull."
"Sigh, Soundless Bull is the person I admire the most in my life. The reason why I became a blacksmith is because I admire him. He was so awe-inspiring at that time. The black sword he forged was famous in the pugilistic world through his son's hands. His reputation immediately soared, and many heroes in the pugilistic world came from afar to ask him to forge weapons.”Da Niu sighed and continued,"I didn't expect that he would be killed by someone in the end." This was the pugilistic world. People in the pugilistic world had no control over themselves. Sometimes, you don't even know how you died. It's hard to live like this.”
Carefree felt even more sad when he thought of his bleak future.
"I came here this time because I wanted the old man to help me forge a wide sword. I didn't expect the old man to leave just like that. Sigh, it seems that I can't explain myself.”
Seeing Da Niu's sad look, Carefree couldn't bear it and went over to ask,""Uncle Bull, what kind of broadsword is it? Do you have the blueprint?”
"Yes!" Da Niu knew that Carefree was Soundless Bull's disciple, so he must have some skills. He quickly took out a piece of parchment and gave it to Carefree.
"This broadsword is similar to the knight's sword in the west, but its length is the same as the one in the Central Plains. It doesn't seem to be very difficult. As long as I can find the materials to forge a sword, I have absolute confidence that I can forge a high-grade broadsword.”Carefree said confidently after reading the blueprint.
"It's true! Brother, are you really confident?"
Da Niu was overjoyed as he tightly grabbed Carefree's hand.
Carefree nodded.
"That's great. I've already gathered all the materials. They're at my house in Wuxi. Since you have nowhere to go, you can come to my house. With your skills, in a few years, you can finish your apprenticeship.”
Ha, Grandpa said that he would be able to finish his apprenticeship in a few days. Carefree laughed to himself. He didn't know why, but ever since he met Da Niu, Carefree felt much better. He didn't feel depressed or sad anymore.
Hence, Carefree and Da Niu set off on the road to Wuxi.
