Chapter 8: Coercion and inducement

 The man was holding an abacus in one hand, looking at the beads on it with all his attention, his brows slightly wrinkled. There were also a few deep wrinkles on his forehead and eyebrows, making him look like he was old.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and do what I say. We don't have much time. It's better not to completely turn against the sub-system. If possible, it's better to bring him back. The skill he has in hand is very important to us.

It will be quite useful in the future."

The man spoke in an understatement, as if nothing had happened before.

Another thin dwarf walked in outside the door, and he looked at each other. The two of them silently grabbed the hostages at their feet and walked back.

After a period of silence, the man murmured something, and he could vaguely hear "Jin Wuhou...Xixiangtan...Tianmo basin".

In the days that followed, the regular customers who used to come often were surprised to find that the door of the blacksmith shop, which used to be quite lively, was closed. However, the familiar sound of blacksmithing continued to come from inside, annoying everyone.

I was muttering in my heart, so I turned around and found another craftsman.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the appointed time is here in an instant.

It is already midnight, and the streets that were still bustling during the day are not a soul at this moment. Occasionally, the night wind blows, and a few dogs bark in the distance, which makes it look a bit eerie.

A figure, carrying a blue-white paper lantern, walked slowly over from the distance of the street.

When you get closer, you can see an old man in his fifties. There is a white hairpin stuck in the bun on his head. After careful identification, you can see that it is carved from fine mutton-fat jade. Even if

It is rare to see someone from a wealthy family.

Wearing a brocade robe with blue patterns of rich flowers, the whole person looks quite good, but in the dim light of the night, the brilliance of the body does not appear.

The old man walked leisurely to the blacksmith shop and stopped. He raised the lantern in his hand and looked around, looked around, shook his head, and sighed softly.

At this time, the door of the blacksmith shop was half open, and it looked pitch black from the outside, with no light at all.

The old man laughed dryly and walked in calmly.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a "click" and a fire suddenly lit up. I saw Sun Yuanzheng holding a fire stick and slowly lighting the candle in front of him.

The flickering candlelight reflected that the front hall of the entire store was empty. All the various farm tools and ironware that were originally placed were gone. They had been stored away unknown where, leaving only long empty tables.

At this moment, Sun Yuan was facing the door across a long table, sitting solemnly. The coarse cloth he usually wore had been replaced by a black outfit, which wrapped his whole body tightly.

What is even more eye-catching is that each of the two arms is covered with a huge stainless steel armguard. Strange lines are carved on the armguards, which converge at the front of the armguards to form an angry and evil ghost head.

.The two arm sleeves are illuminated by the flickering candlelight, as if there is a layer of faint cold light.

Next to the left hand, there is a green cloth package, which is so bulging that I don’t know what it contains.

The old man stared at Sun Yuan's armband for a long time, his eyes full of admiration. A smile broke out on his face, and he walked to the long table to face Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan keenly captured the surprise in the old man's eyes, but he was filled with doubts and couldn't figure out what his intentions were. However, his expression remained motionless as he looked at the old man quietly without speaking.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. How are you doing? We are brothers. Isn't it rare for my eldest brother to come over and not even give me a seat?"

Sun Yuan sneered and did not answer.

"At that time, the eldest brother and the others were also obsessed with things for a while, so they left his brother and ran away. Afterwards, the three of me and I regretted it very much. When we looked for him again, he had disappeared. It was only recently that we found out about my brother. Isn't this eldest brother?

I will rush over right away to apologize to you." The old man said nonchalantly.

"Golden Operator, stop being hypocritical. If you have any questions, please mention them. I won't say any unnecessary nonsense." Sun Yuan finally spoke and responded coldly.

"Brother Yuan, you are still such a cheerful person. I just like this about you. Let me tell you straight. We found a special tomb a while ago. It is still intact and the workmanship is very exquisite. More importantly, the traces of the land are still there.

It's very new, and there must be a big harvest from it. Let's do this, after you get it, you will get 40%, which is also a little apology for the three of us, eldest brother, what do you think?" The old man still smiled and said unhurriedly.

"That's enough. I won't talk around in circles with you anymore. Everything you want is here. Give me back my wife and children!" Sun Yuan slapped the long table and stood up. He grabbed a corner of the package at hand and jerked it forward.

Shake.

The package was spread out flat, revealing a dozen strange and unknown utensils of different styles.

The old man lowered his head and looked at the equipment on the table, then stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers with a "pop" sound.

Pink Mei Scorpion and Huangquan Shu took Yilan and Sun Huo respectively and walked in. At this time, Yilan's hands were tied behind her back and a piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth so that she could not make a sound. Her eyes were wide open and she could not hide the panic.

But Sun Huo's hands were hanging down, as if he was unconscious.

The old man's head tilted slightly, and the two people behind him looked at each other knowingly, and pushed the hostage mother and son forward.

Seeing this scene, Sun Yuan's pupils shrank, he took a step with his right foot, reached forward to catch Sun Huo who fell to the ground, and then straightened his back and brought him back. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and caught the staggering Yilan.

He jumped back and distanced himself from the "Three Evils".

I originally thought that the three of them would take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but they saw that the old man no longer looked at the table and was looking over with a smile like a pink scorpion. Instead, the underworld rat began to check the utensils one by one and put them into the treasure box on his back.

Sun Yuan broke the rope on Yilan's hand and asked her to hold Sun Huo, while he stood in front of him to protect him. Seeing that the "three murderers" did not take action, Sun Yuan became more and more uneasy, and the strings in his heart were tightened to the extreme.<

/p>

"Don't worry, we haven't touched them a single hair." The beautiful woman suddenly said, blinking at Sun Yuan, "Your son is still a little young. If you wait two or three years, I will like him better."
p>

"How dare you!" Sun Yuan couldn't help shouting angrily.

"Okay, since there is no problem with the things, let's go with us." The old man's face straightened and he used a commanding tone.

"My husband is not going anywhere, you can't take him away." Yilan seemed to hear something, walked out from behind Sun Yuan, and said calmly.

"Really? Your son has already taken Rouxin Pills. If you want to save his life, it would be better for your son to come with us. In this way, he might be able to come back within a month and save his life." The old man said.

After finishing, he turned around and took the two of them out of the shop.

"Zixi?" Yilan looked at Sun Yuan, her eyes full of doubts and panic.

Sun Yuan also lowered his head to look at Yilan, his eyes were calm and without any disturbance. He stretched out his right hand and touched Yilan's cheek. Sun Yuan said softly: "My clothes are torn, remember to mend them for me."

Wait, I still need to wear it when I get back. Wait for me, I will be back."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

Yilan put down Sun Huo and hurried out. She only saw Sun Yuan's tall back, which disappeared into the night after a while.
