Chapter 14 The Ironsmith's Counterattack
In just a blink of an eye, Shi Chuan had already run from the entrance of the courtyard to the center of the courtyard. In another blink of an eye, Shi Chuan started from the center of the courtyard again. Such continuous movements, the time span did not seem to be continuous. The first afterimage left in the blacksmith outside the wall gap was Shi Chuan standing beside the tiger, and the second afterimage was Shi Chuan in the center of the courtyard. The two consecutive afterimages seemed to be playing slides, with no pause in the middle and no connection between the front and back.
Of course, this blacksmith of the Song Dynasty did not know what a "slide" was.
"It's good," the blacksmith raised his hammer.
"Then--" Shi Chuan raised his hand casually, and a black shadow rushed towards the blacksmith.
The blacksmith had just raised the hammer when he saw the black shadow pounce on him. He screamed strangely and opened his mouth again: "Good come!"
After saying that, the blacksmith swung the hammer and smashed it over.
The iron embryos are forged for years and the focus is on being quick and quick. When the blacksmith was learning the art, the master of the workshop clamped the red iron block with one hand and kept flipping it, and the other hand kept hitting it with a small iron hammer - how much power the small iron hammer in the master's hand has? The purpose of his knocking is not to hammer the iron block, but to use a small hammer to point out the landing point of the heavy hammer.
The small hammer fell on the red iron embryo, making a crisp jingle. The second master in charge of the hammer needed to smash the heavy hammer on the part of the master's small hammer in this flash, and then make a loud bang.
Master, if the second master cooperates well, the ding dong sound of the blacksmith workshop will be very rhythmic, like a rumba dance rhythm, and it will be resounding for several hours without any confusion. What's more, the rumba rhythm can be resounded throughout the morning, until the iron embryo is knocked out into a rough shape, and the third master will lead the apprentice to take over and carry out the refined homework.
Generally speaking, only if an apprentice is a fire-burning apprentice in the blacksmith workshop for three years, he can be qualified to follow the third master to hit the rough embryo with the hammer; and then swing the hammer for another five years. If he has a good understanding, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to the second master - a blacksmith standing outside the gap, starting from the age of eight, and he will be staring at the red iron block every day. After so many years of training, the skills of the cook Ding cut the cow and the oil seller are all side dishes for him. He hits the designated part of an object in a flash - without it, but he is skilled.
The objects flying opposite were getting bigger and bigger. When they flew in front of them, the second master of the blacksmith workshop had already seen clearly that it was a bluestone slab with some soil on it. The soil was very wet, as if it had just been lifted from the ground in the yard.
The stone slabs were flying very fast. In this lightning, the second master was able to distinguish the patterns on the stone slabs and figure out the ins and outs of the stone slabs... He was very proud of his rationality and soberness.
After so many years, in the dazzling red light and the scorching heat wave, I have to see the landing point of the master's small hammer, and in less than a second, I will hit the heavy hammer on the part of the master's guidance. It's easy for me... Now that I have already started my master, I knocked over this hammer, and the reward given by the winged tiger is enough for me to open a store. From now on, I will be the master.
The slab is flat, and the blacksmith who has smashed countless iron embryos has clearly known the weakness of the slab. As long as he hits the center of the slab along the stone patterns, with his strength, he will definitely have the ability to break the slab... with one smash and two pieces.
In the flash, the second master of the blacksmith shop was still considering: maybe, he should leave some spare force, and then use the impact force of the stone slab to retract the hammer. When the fierce man on the opposite side pounces on him, the hammer will echo and hit the other party's chest with a hammer... Ah, something is wrong, why can't you keep the strength? The impact force of this stone slab is too great!
The scene seen by the yamen runners in the courtyard was: a bluestone slab shattered under the blacksmith's hammer, but the impact force brought by the stone slab made the hammer reverberate, and the hammer head hit the blacksmith's chest hard.
When the hammer head hit back, the second master of the blacksmith workshop had a clear idea. In less than one percent of a second, he suddenly remembered the state of the winged tiger: Bad, this person is very powerful, the winged tiger was only hit by the other party and could no longer move... This stone slab is really different from the iron block. It can't knock on the iron block, and although the stone slab is broken, the impact is still there...
When the hammer hit the second master's chest, the second master could feel the sound of shattering of the sternum. Before the violent pain came, the second master woke up and had a question: Strange, why did I see only two scenes when the guy rushed over? Yes, the guy stayed in the yard for a while, but when did he bent down? When did he lift the stone slab from the ground and throw it over...
No, my eyes can see the landing point of the master's little hammer in one tenth of a second. Why can't I see the other party's movement of lifting the stone slab?
There is no answer to this question.
Before his death, the second master was thinking about this question very clearly... Then, a sea of pain surged from the nerve endings. The second master fell to the ground and died without having time to speak out the question.
Immediately afterwards, the yamen runners saw Shi Chuan's figure pounced on the gap. Their eyes were blurred, as if Shi Chuan's body was like a phantom, passing through the blacksmith's body and disappeared outside the yard. Then, a scream rang out of the yard wall and two horses neighed.
Everything returns to peace.
Meng Dutou outside the courtyard did not have the strength until the situation was calm. He walked into the courtyard with his chest straightened and asked angrily: "What's going on? Why did the bandit leader rush into the courtyard?...Oh, something was wrong with Wang Sanmazi, why were he standing there? Hurry up and find a doctor."
An uninjured yamen runner gasped, fell softly to the ground, and replied with a wry smile: "Where can I find a doctor among these mountains?"
Although another yamen runner next to him suffered four or five minor injuries, they were not seriously injured. They were just shallow scratches. Although they looked bloody all over their body, they were a little shocking, but they were full of energy. He didn't even have time to bandage the wound, and was helping him everywhere to take care of his brothers. When he heard Dutou's questioning, he lifted up his clothes and teared the cloth strips to bandage it, answered: "Dou Tou, I just finished cleaning up the body in the yard, and suddenly jumped into the wall outside the yard. Before we could react, he rushed into the main room and injured the two who were blocking it - Wang Sanmazi was injured at that time.
After this man rushed into the main house, we were still happy, and we wanted to block him in the house and catch a turtle in the jar. Unexpectedly, he rushed out in the blink of an eye and injured several of us in succession... If we were to come later, this guy would have fled."
At the gate of the courtyard, Shi Chuan's figure appeared again. He happened to take the words of the yamen runner and said, "Yes, this guy has arranged two responding people outside the wall. Someone is holding three horses in his hand. After this person rushes out of the courtyard, he will immediately ride a horse and sail for thousands of miles."
Meng Dutou hesitated: "This person is gone and back... He clearly saw the yamen runners in the courtyard and knew that this matter had alarmed the government, why did he stubbornly rush into the house..."
Shi Chuan didn't answer and walked calmly, but when the yamen runners saw this calm gait, they felt that they were dodging the road and allowed him to walk to the center of the courtyard calmly.
