He smiled and said: "Brother Dao, why do you have to come here in person? I can just deliver the goods."
Brother Dao said: "Master Lu, it's not that I don't believe you, but there are so many thieves recently. You are strutting through the market with ten knives, and you might be killed without even knowing it."
"I also made a special trip for your own good."
After Brother Dao finished speaking, his younger brother Scarface added: "Master Lu, you should have made all ten knives, right? You struck the iron very fast last night, it was very hard."
The implication was that he was naming names. He had always paid attention to Lu Qi and didn't want to play any tricks.
Lu Qi pretended not to know and smiled bitterly: "I dare not disobey Brother Dao's instructions. Therefore, working hard day and night can be regarded as fulfilling the mission and completing the task."
After saying that, he went back to the warehouse and took out the standard knife.
but.
But Brother Dao waved his hand and said: "Master Lu, thank you for your hard work. I'll leave the matter of holding the knife to the younger ones."
With a wink, ten people rushed in immediately, five people rushed to the warehouse, and five people rushed into the house.
Lu Qi's expression changed, "Brother Dao, the low-grade knife is in the warehouse. Why did you enter the house?"
Brother Dao patted his head, then pointed at the door and yelled, "Trash, are you all pigs? The knife is in the warehouse, why are you running home? Get out!"
But after he finished speaking, Lu Qi could hear the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home, and then five people rushed out.
When he arrived in front of Brother Dao, he shook his head calmly.
Lu Qi's eyes were cold, and he already understood their intentions.
He remained calm and looked aggrieved.
Brother Dao pointed at those people and yelled, but he didn't mean to blame them at all.
soon.
The five people in the warehouse also came out with two knives in their hands. Another person brought out a basket of iron materials and charcoal. The iron materials were at least ten kilograms.
A normal master can smelt two kilograms of molten iron, but Lu Qi can apparently smelt around three kilograms.
Including the wear and tear, it is enough to make a low-grade short knife.
Scarface was also the one who entered the warehouse to collect scraps. He said hehey: "Brother, there are ten knives here, the quality is all right, and there are more than ten kilograms of iron material."
He looked at Lu Qi and said, "Master Lu, you are not kind. You want to hide your secrets. This iron material is for you to forge a knife. Why don't you use it?"
Lu Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Scarface, you misunderstood. Those are the leftovers and will be returned to Brother Dao. How dare I hide my secrets!"
Scarface chuckled and said, "Since you want to pay it back, I'll take it away."
Brother Dao scolded: "You bastard, I was given a certain amount of iron material at the beginning. Master Lu can finish it. There is still some iron material left. According to the rules, it should belong to him. If you take it away, where will I save my face?" "
Having said that, Scarface asked his men to take away the iron materials and even the baskets, but he did not actually stop them.
Lu Qi understood that the two brothers were singing in front of him.
My heart feels cold.
However, he still resisted the murderous intention.
Brother Dao cursed and said: "You are an ignorant thing, Master Lu, please forgive me."
Lu Qidao: "It should have been returned in the first place. Brother Dao, you are joking."
Brother Dao smiled, and as expected, he didn't mention it, but took out the IOU and said: "Master Lu, when you owed us the money at Big Erlong Casino, after deducting your craft fee, you still have to pay 20 yuan. This number ,Is it no problem?”
Lu Qi was stunned and said: "Brother Dao, I agreed that I would forge ten knives for you. The hundred dollars I owed was written off in one go. Why do you still owe me?"
Scarface scolded from the side: "Lu Qi, it's your first day out here? Don't you have to pay back the interest?"
Brother Dao cursed: "Shut up, why are you talking to Master Lu?!"
Then he looked embarrassed and said: "Master Lu, don't be dissatisfied. In fact, I only asked Master Jin to let you pay back only 20 yuan because of my words."
"According to the rules, you owed one hundred yuan at the beginning, and if you add ten yuan every day, after seven days, you should owe one hundred and seventy yuan. Is that okay?!"
Lu Qi looked embarrassed and anxious, while the neighbors around him shook their heads and sighed.
This is simply knocking the bones and sucking out the marrow.
However, Lu Qi had murderous intentions in his heart. His predecessor actually owed 30 yuan, and he was supposed to pay back 50 yuan after one month. However, the interest compounded and he had to pay back 100 yuan seven days ago.
Not only is it paid back in advance, the principal plus interest is doubled.
It was agreed that the sword would be forged in seven days, and the debt would be paid off once and for all, and the two would not owe each other anything.
Now I got one hundred and seventy cents, seventy cents more in seven days.
For a master blacksmith, he can earn that much in a month, but that is when he has a normal job.
now.
Brother Knife gave Lu Qi the task of making standard knives, and he had to make them every day and night for seven days. He couldn't run his own business at all.
It is simply impossible to repay twenty dollars.
Lu Qi understood that Brother Dao, the two brothers, were just pretending to be red and white, and they were sure to defeat him.
Brother Knife continued to explain: "Master Lu, I'll talk it over with Master Jin and give you enough for the craftsmanship fee, fifteen dollars for a knife, a total of one hundred and fifty dollars. But you owe one hundred and seventy dollars, and these twenty dollars
You must pay it back, right?!”
He smiled and patted Lu Qi on the shoulder, "I think about you, and you think about me too."
Lu Qidao: "Brother Dao, I, I really..."
Scarface scolded: "What are you? You don't know how much face my eldest brother has sacrificed to ask for the opportunity for you. Don't be shameless."
Brother Dao cursed: "Shut up, do you have the right to speak?"
Then he said: "Master Lu, let's do this. Lord Jin will have dinner at Yuexiang Tower tonight. If you are not convinced, go to him and explain it to him face to face."
"Actually, I also think that the twenty dollars should be forgotten."
Lu Qidao: "No, I'd better pay it back."
His sudden words made Brother Dao confused.
Then I saw Lu Qi groping around in his arms for a while, reluctantly taking out more than twenty large coins, placing them on the stone pier, and counted out twenty coins one by one.
Then he pushed it to Brother Dao and said: "Brother Dao, I will pay you back the money, give me the IOU, and we will settle everything."
Brother Dao was confused.
Scarface was also stunned and stopped talking.
The younger brothers around looked at each other.
They didn't expect that Lu Qi would have the money to repay.
Brother Dao tried hard to smile, but he was very stiff, "Do you still have private money?"
Lu Qidao: "A little bit."
Brother Dao's cheek twitched, he looked at the neighbors behind the fence, and an idea came to his mind.
He smiled softly and said, "Master Lu is so popular. There are so many neighbors willing to lend you money. Haha, okay, then we will settle everything."
He took the money and gave the IOU to Lu Qi.
Then he took the people and left.
At the end of the day, he turned back and said: "Master Lu, I still hope you can go to Yuexiang Tower. My elder brother Jin Ye wants to meet you. Maybe it can change your destiny."
Lu Qidao: "I'm too tired, I want to rest tonight..."
Brother Dao was silent.
Scarface said fiercely: "Lu Qi, my brother has invited me over and over again to have dinner with Mr. Jin, but you won't go? You try!"
Lu Qicheng was frightened and said, "Then I'll pack up and go there on time in the evening."
Brother Dao left with the people satisfied.
but.
Not far away, I heard a dog barking at a house. I immediately yelled and cursed, rushed in and hacked the dog to death, and also injured the healthy woman in the house.
The old man inside the house couldn't dodge at the door, and was knocked to the ground deliberately by Scarface. He was twitching and it looked like he wouldn't survive.
When the neighbors saw this, their eyes widened and they were horrified.
Brother Dao continued to lead people away. When he arrived at the door of Butcher Wang's house, he bowed his hands to Butcher Wang before leaving.
Butcher Wang's son is in the Skin Refining Realm. He has attained the Tao of Chicken and Dog and ascended to heaven. He is worthy of Brother Dao's courtesy.
After Brother Dao and others left, the neighbors came out one after another, surrounding the old man and his family who were beaten to death. They only heard the mournful cries of their healthy woman and young child.
Aunt Niu also went to watch the fun, then came back and kept shaking her head.
"Alas, Uncle Ma is gone. Alas, he was seriously ill and fell so badly that he won't survive. His son went to work as a corvee, and only he, his daughter-in-law, and two children were left. Now,
This family is going to break up."
Lu Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
If Brother Dao kills people, he must kill them for him to see.
Uncle Ma died because of him, and Uncle Ma's family often received help when he was in trouble.
Now he is dead.
Lu Qi felt a chill in his heart.
"Yuexiang Tower, right? Okay, if you let me go, then I will go. But, not to toast, but to the knife man!"
