The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

After a stick of incense.

Gu Jingzhi stopped and Li Xi looked up at the banner hanging in front of the store - a blacksmith shop.

"Blacksmith shop?" Li Xi looked at him. "Is the name of this shop so simple?"

Along the way, the shops they saw either had fancy names or had the surname first, such as Li’s Baked Bun Shop, Wang’s Grain Shop, and so on.

She looked around and said, "Besides, isn't this place a little too remote?"

There were no shops around, not only that, but there were also very few houses. The nearest house was about a hundred meters away from them.

It’s so remote and yet so simple. I don’t know if the business of this shop is not good or if good wine needs no bush.

Gu Jingzhi: "This shop owner is very skilled, but he has a bad temper. He always does business as he pleases."

"Oh, I see." Li Xi was curious. "People with ability tend to have bad tempers. Let's go in and take a look."

With the end of the hot summer, the weather in most parts of the capital is now relatively cool. However, before I even walked into the blacksmith shop, just as I lifted the door curtain, I could feel the oppressive heat in the room.

After walking in, Li Xi discovered that although the store did not look big from the outside, it was actually very big inside. From the outside, the store looked like no more than three small rooms, and the estimated length was about 18 meters. But after entering the room, he found that the length was 18 meters, but the width inside was as much as 50 meters, of which about 20 meters was the roof, and the other 30 meters was the yard.

The six three-meter-wide wooden doors between the house and the yard were all open at this moment, so they could see the whole picture clearly.

The front hall was very spacious. The host had built many shelves on which were placed all kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.

In the yard outside were furnaces and tools for making weapons.

This blacksmith shop was really beyond Li Xi's expectations. She thought that the blacksmith shop should be messy and dirty, but she didn't expect that it was not only not dirty, but also very clean, just like a shop opened by a mysophobiaist.

"This environment is indeed nice, but where are the people?" Li Xi looked around.

How come there is no one in such a big store?

Gu Jingzhi obviously knew the situation in this store very well. He walked to the counter and tapped it with his fingers. "Open for business."

Li Xi looked curiously and saw a hand suddenly appear on the counter. The bones of the hand were thicker than those of ordinary people and the skin color was darker, but the overall shape of the hand was very good.

Just as she wanted to get closer to take a look, she saw the hand push on the counter and a person stood up.

Xie Nanshan raised his eyes sleepily to look at the person who disturbed his sweet dream. After seeing Gu Jingzhi's face clearly, he woke up completely and frowned, "Why is it you?"

After saying that, he leaned back with a look of disgust, leaning on the shelf behind him, "How come you, a big Buddha, have time to visit my little shop today? It's really full of bad guests."

"Xie Nanshan." Gu Jingzhi ignored Xie Nanshan's teasing and introduced him to Li Xi beside him.

Then he looked at Xie Nanshan, "Li Xi, my fiancée."

"What!" Xie Nanshan looked at Li Xi and then at Gu Jingzhi in shock, "You have a fiancée?!"

Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi beside him, smiled and nodded.

Xie Nanshan got an accurate answer from Gu Jingzhi, but it was still a little hard to believe. Although he disliked Gu Jingzhi, he still knew him well. Although he looked gentle and polite on the outside, he was actually very cold inside.

There are so many girls in Beijing who like him, gentle, cute, enthusiastic, and cold. Many of them rush to pursue him, but he always keeps them at a distance. He has always thought that this guy either has a hidden illness that cannot be revealed, or is born without love and is destined to live a lonely life.

Unexpectedly, he actually got his fiancee.

When Xie Nanshan was looking at Li Xi, Li Xi was also looking at him. She admitted that she had a stereotype that blacksmiths were all big muscular men, but the Xie Nanshan in front of her was obviously different from what she imagined. He was eight feet tall, slightly taller than Gu Jingzhi, and did look stronger than the average person, giving people a sense of power, but not exaggerated. His facial features were also quite attractive, with clear white eyes and very bright, a bit like a dark-skinned sports man.

"Why do you like this guy with a beastly heart?" Xie Nanshan asked Li Xi with a look of toothache.

Li Xi raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this friend was a bad friend. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, maybe he is blind."

Hearing him say this, Xie Nanshan laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Gu Jingzhi, your fiancée is quite interesting."

Seeing that Xie Nanshan's gaze on Li Xi was longer, Gu Jingzhi took a step forward inconspicuously to block his sight, "Is Xingmang still there?"

Xie Nanshan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Gu Jingzhi's little action. When he heard him say "Starlight?", he said, "Starlight? It's not suitable for you."

As he said that, he tilted his head and glanced at Li Xi behind Gu Jingzhi, "It's not suitable for her either."

"What kind of weapon is the Starlight?" Li Xi asked him curiously. This blacksmith shop only made weapons, so she naturally understood what gift Gu Jingzhi wanted to buy for Hu Zi.

"Forget it, I'll let you open your eyes." Because she is so interesting.

Xie Nanshan said "wait" and turned around to take a rosewood box from the shelf behind him. He put the box on the counter.

Li Xi noticed that there were no carvings on the wooden box, just the simplest wood grain.

"This is the Starlight." Xie Nanshan opened the wooden box and saw a sword in the box. The sword body was not long, and it was about 3 feet including the hilt. The sword body was made of black iron and was very thin, with a faint cold light. The hilt had hammer patterns shaped like stars, which was extremely gorgeous. The blade was sharp, like autumn frost.

Li Xi was amazed at his craftsmanship, "This sword is worthy of the name Xingmang, it really looks like a star."

Even though she is an outsider, she can tell that the sword is good. It seems to be really good.

"This is a short sword, and the blade is light, so it's not suitable for him," Xie Nanshan said to Li Xi, "It's not suitable for you either, it's a little short for you."

"To be honest, I bought this sword for my younger brother."

"Brother?"

Gu Jingzhi chuckled, "My brother-in-law."

Xie Nanshan: “…”

Xie Nanshan: "How old is your brother?"

"My younger brother is six years old this year and a little over four feet tall."

Thanks to the fact that Li Tiezhu and Liu Niangzi are both tall, Li Xi and Hu Zi are both relatively tall among their peers. Before, due to malnutrition, their statures were the same as those of their peers. Later, when they became rich and Li Xi was willing to spend money on food and drink, Li Xi grew slowly, but Hu Zi grew very fast, probably because they were still young.

"He's a little short, but he still needs to grow taller, so it's okay."
