Nemesis is Coming - C67

Han Xifei and I are riding a Unicorn. Because we were afraid of being discovered by the enemy, we didn’t choose to fly through the sky. Instead, we rode the Unicorn and advanced on the road.

The road on the mountain path was not easy to walk on, there were basically no roads. We passed through two mountains and came to a forest with a river beside it. Han Xifei said that she would stop and rest for a while.

I’m wounded and I don’t want to go too far. Naturally, he was also happy to rest here for a while.

I held onto a few mouthfuls of water and drank it before I turned to Han Xifei and said: General, Da Gang has indeed fallen into the Snake Demon’s trap, but you shouldn’t blame Da Gang in front of everyone. He was the village head. If the villagers did not trust him, he would not be able to continue being the village head.

Han Xifei wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, she said: I have to take responsibility for my own wrongdoings.

I was about to continue arguing with her when she said, like a child, You’re too young to understand. When you sit in my place, you will understand.

I didn’t understand what Han Xifei meant until many years later. I was driven to a dead end by the betrayal of my loved ones. I realized how stupid I was.

After Han Xifei finished speaking, she started to ride on her Unicorn again, and I followed behind him. He felt that she was a difficult person to communicate with. She thought to herself, No wonder she’s so beautiful, but almost 30, and still can’t get married.

Seeing me walking slowly behind, Han Xifei said impatiently: Don’t think anymore nonsense! Hurry up and keep up with me. Otherwise, I won’t wait for you.

I suddenly felt guilty and quickly chased after Han Xifei. I asked curiously: What exactly are we going to do?

Han Xifei pointed to the two scimitars and the spear on my back that were wrapped in cloth, and said: These few cold weapons are quite powerful. The villagers said there was a blacksmith in that village in the northeast who was very skilled. I wanted him to help me fuse these weapons and forge a better one.

We flew for a while on the Unicorn. They finally reached the village that Han Xifei was talking about.

The village did not seem to be very populous or particularly rich. The two of us rode on the Unicorn s on the main road of the village. All of the villagers looked at us in astonishment. Han Xifei walked to the entrance of a shop, then jumped down from the Unicorn’s back and entered the shop.

I went over and saw that it was indeed a blacksmith. Other than some farm tools, this shop also had many jewelry and necklaces. What surprised me most was that there were quite a few swords and weapons hanging on the walls.

There was also a furnace beside it. I had only seen this kind of large furnace on television before, but it was the first time I had ever seen one in real life.

A middle-aged man was standing next to him. He was holding a hammer and was beating it against a piece of metal on the chopping board.

When the middle-aged man saw us enter the shop, he stopped what he was doing and stepped forward to say: What a beautiful girl! You want to buy jewelry, right?

I was relieved. Luckily, the middle-aged man was not like the other salesmen and immediately said, “Is this your girlfriend? She’s really pretty.” This sort of thing. They couldn’t bear to anger Han Xifei. I’m afraid this will not end well.

However, the middle-aged man didn’t let me down. He changed the topic, suddenly pointing to a set of jewelry in the display cabinet and said, “Look at me, it’s a pair of concentric locks. I built this a while ago, it can’t be more suitable for a couple like you …”

Before he finished speaking, Han Xifei had already pulled out a gun from her waist and pointed it at his head.

The middle-aged man was so scared that he hurriedly covered his head and squatted down. Thinking that we were here to rob them, he quickly said, “Woman, please spare us!” I’m in a small business here, nothing of value. As long as you don’t hurt me by taking anything away from me, I have both the old and the young. There was also a half-paralyzed wife in the middle of the room. They’re on my own…

Han Xifei snappily interrupted the middle aged man, saying, “Shut up!”

The man shut up. Han Xifei turned around and said to me: Explain to him what we’re here for.

Then, he put away his gun. He sat in front of the tea table and drank his tea.

The man slowly raised his head. Seeing me coming over, Han Xifei hugged him again. I don’t see your faces. I don’t know who you are.

I snappily said, “You don’t have anything valuable in this shabby shop, and we’re not here to rob you. We’re here to discuss business.”

The man slowly raised his head. But he still did not dare to stand up. He said: Sir, whatever you want, take as much as you want! I’ll sell it to you.

My face was filled with black lines. This guy was definitely going to rob us both of our homes.

Han Xifei impatiently said to me: Show him the things you brought.

I quickly untied the bundle. He then spread out his weapons in front of the middle-aged man. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at these weapons with a puzzled expression.

I explained to him, Look at these weapons. Could it be tolerated? It was to recreate a new weapon.

The middle-aged man picked up a scimitar and looked at it. Then, he knocked on the blade of the scimitar. When he touched the blade, blood came out of his fingers. He quickly retracted his hand and said, So sharp.

The middle-aged man briefly treated the wound before continuing, “I have never seen this metal before. If I were to reforge it, I’m not sure if my furnace can refine this metal. I need half an hour to appraise it.”

Han Xifei said coldly: I will wait here for you for an hour, after you have appraised it, you can tell me if you can recreate it or not.

The middle-aged man said carefully, All right, all right, I’ll go now.

After saying that, the middle-aged man walked towards the workbench and I followed to see what he would do. While looking at it, she asked him, “Your store has jewelry and weapons, will anyone buy them?”

The middle-aged man told me: Of course no one in the village buys it, but there are a lot of people buying it online. However, they could only sell some weapons that did not have an edge.

I looked at the backward village and said in surprise, You know how to run an Internet store.

The boss smiled at me and said, Isn’t it? Don’t open an online store. Who knew there was another shop in this damn place? If I don’t go with the times. Then I can only be like that bad Old Man in my family, busy my whole life without earning much money.

I asked doubtfully, Are all your handiwork handed down from generation to generation?

The boss smiled proudly and said, Of course. My great-grandfather was a famous craftsman at court. So everyone around here knows our store. Some rich people would even travel thousands of miles to come to this poor mountain village. Just to make him a piece of jewelry.

I looked around but didn’t see anything particularly good in this shop, so I said, But I don’t see anything good in this shop either.

The boss immediately retorted, “Who says there’s nothing good!?” I’ve got a god here…

Halfway through his sentence, he seemed to remember that we were armed and afraid that we would try to rob them, so he immediately stopped and only gave an embarrassed smile.
