Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After breakfast, seeing that it was still early, Zhao Hao went to the local product shop on the street and bought usnea tea, plum blossom cake, salted duck and Daqu.

    Then he went to the blacksmith shop and apologized to Gao Wu, carrying four generous gifts that Nanjing people always prepared when visiting guests.

    Gao Wu was washing the floor in the shop. When he saw Zhao Hao come in, he was embarrassed and didn't know where to put his hands. He opened and closed his mouth and became increasingly speechless.

    It was Blacksmith Gao who kicked him and cursed: "This evil is like a dog's temper, and his good intentions are regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

    Only then did Gao Wu speak out in embarrassment: "Yesterday was too rash, I just want you not to blame me. Don't accept the things."

    "It's not for you!" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, put the things on the table and said, "It has nothing to do with you to replenish my body." He pulled his face and said, "If you don't want to have any contact with each other in the future, you  Feel free to say no again.¡±

    Gao Wu reluctantly accepted it.

    Gao Tiejiang had a natural affection for the young man who had saved him. He pulled Zhao Hao into the house and insisted on inviting him to drink tea.

    Zhao Shouzheng could only get out of school after dark, and Zhao Hao had nothing to do, so he readily agreed.

    Gao Wu opened the tea table in the shop, made tea for his father and Zhao Hao, and then continued working.

    He will never participate in such a difficult thing as chatting.

    However, Zhao Hao and Gao Tiejiang also had a very good chat.  Through conversation, he learned that Blacksmith Gao was originally a blacksmith in Yiwu Mine.  A few years ago, when Japanese pirates were rampant, the imperial court recruited blacksmiths to make guns and cannons for the anti-Japanese army. Blacksmith Gao came to Nanjing and became a craftsman in Nanjing Shenji Camp.

    After working in the Shenji Camp for seven or eight years, Blacksmith Gao got older and could no longer do the fine work, so he resigned and left the military camp.  But because he mastered the technology of making guns and cannons, according to regulations, he was not allowed to leave Nanjing and had to live near the military camp.  He used the savings he had saved over the years to open a blacksmith shop in Caijia Lane, making a living by making farm tools, kitchen knives and the like.

    Zhao Hao thought of the gleaming kitchen knife at home that almost chopped off his fingers, and couldn't help but be in awe of Gao Blacksmith's craftsmanship.

    After complimenting the old man, he glanced at Gao Wu who was working behind him with his butt sticking out, and asked: "Brother Gao, how did you join the Qi Family Army?"

    "This boy originally came to Nanjing with me, but he is born to be impatient and can't stand the irritability of knocking all day long." Blacksmith Gao glared at his son and said angrily because his craftsmanship was about to be lost:  "It is such a pleasure to hammer the iron blanks thousands of times, quench them and hammer them into gleaming weapons!"

    "That's right." Zhao Hao hurriedly boasted with ulterior motives: "Don't you see, Kunwu's iron smelting is flying in flames and smoke, with red light and purple energy. A good worker has been training for several years, and he has forged a sword named Longquan!"

    "Wow, great! What a poem!" Although Blacksmith Gao didn't understand much, he could still understand that he was probably praising the swordsmith.  The excited old man patted Zhao Hao's thigh hard and wanted to kiss him.

    That¡¯s an arm used for forging iron. How could Zhao Hao¡¯s small body withstand such ravage?  The pain made him grin.

    Blacksmith Gao quickly raised his hand to apologize.  "The old man got carried away with his pride. Is the young master okay?"

    "It's okay." Zhao Hao rubbed his sore thigh and forced a smile: "Continue, old man."

    "Where are you talking about?" Gao Tiejiang scratched his head and recalled, then patted his forehead and said: "By the way, he said that he did not want his son to inherit his father's legacy, so he played with knives and sticks all day long, and shouted that he was going to kill the Japanese pirates. Later, the Qi Jiajun  When passing through Nanjing, he secretly joined the army behind the old man's back and stayed there for seven or eight years."

    "Eight years." Gao Wu suddenly interrupted.

    "Oh?" Zhao Hao looked at Gao Wu, knowing that he had finally organized his language.

    Then Gao Wu said slowly: "Although we were not the first to join the Qi family army, we followed the commander in the north and south, fighting from Zhejiang to Guangdong, and never lost a single battle!"

    Zhao Hao had a natural admiration for Qi Jiajun, and he was very interested and said: "Tell me quickly, how did you kill the Japanese pirates!"

    Gao Wu used his deep and deep voice to tell Zhao Hao about the Thirteen Battles and Thirteen Victories, the Taizhou Victory in which more than 3,000 Japanese pirates were killed, the Taizhou Victory in which more than 5,000 Japanese pirates were burned and drowned, and the Fujian Campaign in which more than 5,000 Japanese pirates were killed.  The Guangdong anti-bandit campaign wiped out more than 30,000 pirates and drove the bandit leaders to the sea

    When Gao Wu talked about his past achievements, he was so full of energy that he no longer needed to formulate any words. It was obvious that the bloody battles had been engraved in his bones and were always in front of his eyes.

    He put a map on the table with a tea cup and explained the battle of Hengyu in detail to Zhao Hao: "In this battle, our Qi army first used artillery to sink the Japanese warships and bombarded the Japanese camp. Then we used the commando team to  They forced a landing to break through the Japanese pirate formation, killed the Japanese pirate leader, and fought a wonderful annihilation battle"

     "What a coordinated infantry and artillery team!" Zhao Hao clapped his hands and praised, wishing he could witness the Qi Jiajun's great power with his own eyes.

    Gao Wu looked at Zhao Hao, held it in for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Infantry and artillery coordination, well summed up"

    At this time, Blacksmith Gao approached with a hot meal.

    Zhao Hao suddenly realized that the two of them were busy setting up the dragon gate formation, and they didn't even notice when Blacksmith Gao left to cook.

    Gao Wu hurriedly got up to help his father lay the dishes. Blacksmith Gao looked at his son who had no martial arts skills and had nowhere to display them. He sighed, then turned to Zhao Hao and said with a smile:

    "It's a simple meal, the young master will use a little."

    With that said, he took out another bunch of money and handed it to Gao Wudao: "Go to Lao Ma's house across the way and come back with some braised vegetables."

    Zhao Hao immediately stopped Gao Wu and said: "After this, I won't dare to come here to eat."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not stop his son and said: "Forget it. The young master is a free and easy man, and he will not like it if he is too polite."

    "That's very good." Zhao Hao picked up the bowl, took a piece of pickled cucumber and put it into his mouth. It felt quite refreshing.  In fact, he had breakfast too late and too late. Some porridge and some pickled cucumbers were just right, but not really suitable for eating meat.

    The three of them chatted while eating. Seeing that Zhao Hao was really easy-going, Blacksmith Gao tentatively asked, "There is something that the old man has never been able to figure out."

    "Old man, just say it straight away." Zhao Hao took a sip of the stubble porridge and said with a smile.

    "Then the old man has nothing to say." Gao Tiejian looked at Zhao Hao, who had red lips and white teeth, and asked strangely: "I think the young master is neat and loyal. It is said that he should be from a rich and powerful family. How could he end up in the same position as your father?"  Such a field?"

    Zhao Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "To be honest, my ancestor was the former right servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing. This year, he committed an offense in Beijing. He lost his official position and returned to his hometown. Not only did he lose all his family business, he and I had no choice but to live here and struggle.  Get by.¡±

    "That's it." Blacksmith Gao sighed, and then said with a smile: "Young master is definitely not a thing in the pool. I believe that things will turn around soon and we will see Yuntian again!"

    As he spoke, he patted his chest and said, "Despite the fact that the old man and his son are like this, they still have some savings. If you need some cash, just ask!"

    Hearing this, Zhao Hao glanced at Gao Wu in surprise. Gao Wu shook his head slightly, obviously not telling his father about the five hundred taels of silver he had just earned.

    Zhao Hao felt happy again, secretly thinking that it was rare for him to be so tight-lipped, but he must not let him run away.
