Volume 7: Iron Horse Chapter 005: A Rare Confidant
Soon after, facts proved that Ling Jie's idea was right.
Led by Xiaoyue, Ling Jie and Yu walked for about twenty minutes, and finally stopped next to Wenhe River.
Ling Jie stared at the front in great surprise. It was exactly what Xiaoyue said. A house with a considerable area was built here. It was all made of wood. The wood blocks were large and strong. Even with a strong wind of level 9,
It's impossible to blow down the house in front of you.
The style of the house is Chinese architecture, borrowing the form of ancient Chinese houses. There is a large yard in front of the house. There is a large shed in the yard, and inside the shed is a blacksmith shop. There is actually a metal bellows inside.
There are also large hammers... tools used for blacksmithing, all of which are well placed there.
The door of the wooden house was open, and a faint smoke came out from inside.
"To be able to build such a house in such a place, it seems that your blacksmith is an extraordinary person." Ling Jie said with a smile.
Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Brother, you are right, Mr. Blacksmith is the best person around us. You wait for me here, and I will report it."
After Xiaoyue entered the house, she didn't come out for a long time. Ling Jie was not in a hurry, but turned to look at Yu, "Yu, what kind of person do you think the blacksmith will be?"
Yu said, "I don't know what kind of person he is, but he must be a person who knows how to enjoy life, or in other words, he is a very interesting person."
Ling Jie asked, "How do you say this?"
Yu Dao said, "A place like Dark Prison does not need a blacksmith shop at all, and the people here do not need to forge weapons at all. The existence of this blacksmith shop obviously has a rebellious wildness. This Mr. Blacksmith must
He is a person with a wild and unruly heart.”
Ling Jie smiled because his thoughts were the same as Yu's.
At this time, Xiaoyue had already come out, and with him came a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.
His appearance was very ordinary, so ordinary that Ling Jie carefully tried to picture his face in his mind, but he still couldn't remember his appearance - his appearance was too ordinary.
"Uncle, that's the good man I'm talking about." Xiaoyue introduced Ling Jie to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man always had a smile on his face. He looked at Ling Jie with a smile, looked at Ling Jie with a very dull look, and then nodded in agreement.
Ling Jie took a step forward, stood up straight, neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "I, Ling Jie, have made a special trip to visit you, sir."
Yu also walked up, "Yu."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "I have forgotten my name, so if you must have a code name, just call me Mingkong."
"Uncle Mingkong, I have just been exiled here. I would like to stay here tonight and drink a few glasses of century-old wine with my uncle to learn about the principles of life." Ling Jie said slightly modestly.
Mingkong smiled and said, "I don't accept guests here. I like to be alone."
Mingkong secretly refused, which shocked Xiaoyue. The Mingkong in front of her didn't seem like the uncle she knew. She was about to say something when Ling Jie suddenly smiled at her, "Xiaoyue, go back.
Well, Uncle Mingkong has agreed to take me in."
"But...but the uncle clearly said..." Although Xiaoyue grew up here, she could still hear the meaning.
Ling Jie smiled and said, "That's a code word, go ahead."
"Good." Xiaoyue finally believed Ling Jie and ran back in large strides, "It turns out it was a code word. Uncle, I'll go back first."
After Xiaoyue left, the smile on Mingkong's face gradually dimmed, "I didn't agree to let you stay."
Ling Jie said, "You just said that you like a pure person. If that's the case, why did you build a blacksmith shop here? I see that you are in love, but your heart is not pure."
Mingkong frowned slightly. This man looked very young, so why did his words hurt his weakness, "Building a blacksmith shop is my hobby, and it does not affect my heart."
Ling Jie shook his head, "If your heart is really pure, then you won't argue for yourself. I feel like you are hiding something and expecting something..."
"Oh...haha." Mingkong burst out laughing suddenly, "In such a world of ice and snow, what can I expect... Could it be that I hope that I will die... Haha, young people today are really good at joking.
"
Ling Jie smiled and said, "So, uncle still wants to drive me away now?"
Mingkong suddenly laughed, "What you said, come on, come on, please come inside." The middle-aged man seemed to have become ten years younger in an instant, and he stepped forward and put his arm around Ling Jie's shoulders, "Haha... It's been five years.
I finally met a confidant, and confidants are rare in life. Please come in."
Ling Jie also smiled, "Uncle, you are serious, I just want to stay overnight."
…
The trance-like fire eyes emitted bright light, illuminating the three faces on the table.
"Come on, Brother Lingjie, you're welcome. The food we eat here is elm wood powder. Although the taste is not as good as the food outside, it is rich in nutrients and is very beneficial to the body." Mingkong picked up the rice bowl in his hand and took a big mouthful.
and started eating.
Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, Ling Jie also picked it up and swallowed a few mouthfuls. When he first ate it, he felt it was hard to swallow, but gradually he started to like the taste. Ling Jie also felt that the more he ate, the better.
Eat, "It tastes good, it's rich in sugars, has a high content, and is very chewy."
Yu ate a few big mouthfuls, his brows relaxed slightly, and he ate faster and faster. He had been hungry all day, and now he couldn't help but feel an appetite.
As he got closer, Ling Jie saw clearly that Mingkong was not as old as he had just seen. There were no wrinkles on his face, "Mingkong, how old are you?"
Mingkong suddenly smiled, "Haha... you just called me uncle. In fact, I am only twenty-nine. I am just a little haggard from staying in the snow all year round."
Ling Jie was embarrassed, Ming Kong broke the embarrassment and said, "Brother Ling Jie, why were you exiled here?"
Mingkong asked while eating rice flour. There are no vegetables here, only wood flour. To put it bluntly, it's just dry rice.
Ling Jie thought about the meaning of Mingkong Wen's words, and finally said, "I broke into Las Vegas alone and killed too many people at MGM, so... haha."
Ling Jie smiled bitterly and hid the following words very well.
"MGM? You killed many people from MGM..." Mingkong's eyes tightened together, showing a strange look.
Ling Jie asked, "Why...do you also have a grudge against MGM?"
