New Life of Broken Cedar - C120

Gu Moyan saw the words’ Zheng Fengcheng ‘written on a stone far away and knew that he had arrived. Actually, this place wasn’t too far from the village head, he could have just taken a single road and arrived. He was worried about what he would do if he couldn’t find it.

The architecture here was quite different from the one in Jinzhou City. It was probably due to the location of the building, which allowed Gu Moyan to be less restrained and fearful of meeting familiar people.

Standing on the dazzling street, as if he was about to be swept away by the crowd, he had already tied the donkey cart to a tree at the end of the city, so that he could look for it when he left the city.

Gu Moyan tidied up the package in her arms and swept a glance at the top bunk on the street. When she realized that this wasn’t what she was looking for, she left. He didn’t dare to ask where the passer-by’s Iron Body was.

After passing a few more shops, Gu Moyan spent quite a bit of time walking and stopping. Finally, he asked about a strong metallic smell.

Gu Moyan followed the smell as they walked down the street. At the end of the street, she saw a sign with a large character carved with red ink on top of it. Perhaps it was because it had been corroded by time, but she couldn’t see it clearly.

Before he could even enter, he heard the sound of metal colliding with metal. “Dong, dong, dong.” Gu Moyan walked all the way inside, but she didn’t see anyone around. The deeper she went, the darker the fire became and the stronger the smell became.

“Who’s here?” An aged voice came from inside, followed by the sound of “Dong Dong Dong”.

“Boss, I …” Yes… “For fusing things.” Gu Moyan walked over to the source of the sound and finally saw the owner of the shop, an old man in his seventies, standing near a pile of aluminum foil and iron. He had a large hammer in his hand and was striking the red-hot metal in front of him.

The boss turned his head and looked at the package in Gu Moyan’s hands, “Show me your things, I won’t be able to get everything I want.”

Gu Moyan didn’t think too much about it. She opened the package on a nearby table, exposing all of the items inside.

The silver light reflected off the candle flame, causing the shop owner to squint. With one glance, he could tell that it was a high-grade good product. However, he didn’t know why the young man in front of him had wasted such a precious item.

The owner of the iron shop stayed in the store all year round, and apart from talking to the customers who would come to visit the next day, he had always been with these iron tools. Although he didn’t ask too much, he put down the hammer in his hand, walked up to them and looked at it, saying, “If the silver items fuse together, it might make you feel less, but the money is also more than the other way around.”

“Yes.” Gu Moyan nodded. He only needed silver.

The boss took the items and walked to the furnace. He threw them in just like that and increased the intensity of the fire below. He didn’t hold back at all and it was obvious that the boss was not greedy for money.

While waiting for it to melt, Gu Moyan found a place to rest and sat down. The boss also picked up his hammer to do the work that he hadn’t finished yet. From time to time, the sound of “crackling” and “thumping” could be heard in the dark space.

“Boss, can you give me a hairpin? I’m wearing it at my age.” Gu Moyan stood up and said.

“I’ve never made something so small before. I have to try it out. If not, I can’t do anything about it.” The boss thought for a while and said.
