How could such a slender body be capable of forging iron tools?
Ling Xiyue's expression remained normal, and she didn't seem to be joking at all.
If you do it yourself, it will just take some time.
If they didn't go back quickly, they would be easily discovered by Jia Lao and Nalan Xueyi.
Although the hunchbacked old man was suspicious, he didn't bother to ask more questions. The other person was Kano's friend, so he managed to be more patient and said, "Let's talk about what we want to do first, and let me take a breather now.
"
Jianye quickly winked at Ling Xiyue.
Grandpa Zhang has a very eccentric temper, but everything he brings out is of high quality.
But if he refuses to do it, even if a few venerables come over, he will just give him a blank look. Now he finally lets go, and this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Ling Xiyue smiled and said calmly, "I can't tell you for a while. I'm in a hurry this time and I don't have any ready-made drawings with me. Can I borrow the old man's pen and paper? I'll draw it for you first."
."
"Just say it." The hunchbacked old man's gray brows knitted together, and his tone was very unkind, "As long as you say it, old man, I can do it. There is nothing in this world that I can't do!"
Ling Xiyue was stunned.
This old man has a very nice tone.
I guess it's because people who are skilled in art are bold and confident.
"Grandpa Zhang!" Jianye thought Ling Xiyue was frightened and suddenly became anxious.
He jumped over, grabbed the hunchback Zhang's arm and hung him down, "You scared Sister Yue, I don't care anyway, if you don't do it for Sister Yue today, I will deduct half of your peach blossom drunk."
"No, no, no, my little ancestor." The hunchbacked old man's eyes suddenly glowed red, and he said anxiously, "I'm all following you, isn't that enough?"
If you deduct his wine, won't it cost him his life?
There hasn't been any good wine here for a long time!
Jianye felt relieved, gave Ling Xiyue a look, and smiled secretly.
Things in this world are really one thing after another. No matter how cunning and weird people are, they will always have their Achilles' heel and sore feet. This hunchback Zhang is a complete drunkard, and he is also afraid of being entangled by the kid in front of him.
Ling Xiyue suddenly found it funny.
But as soon as she showed signs of wanting to laugh, the old man looked at her and said, "Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to paint? If you want to paint, just paint. Old man, I want to see what you can do."
Come."
I didn't learn well at a young age and acted mysteriously in front of him.
This little bit of measurement was just a trick, but he wanted to see if he was really an expert or just a fake.
"Thank you very much, old man." Ling Xiyue was still very polite. After all, Kano called him grandpa.
The clerk at the back prepared the banknotes, and Ling Xiyue took them, said "thank you", then cleared a clear space on the messy wooden table, sat down, and began to carefully sketch out the design drawings.
Ling Xiyue painted it very carefully and tried to be as simple and clear as possible.
If the other party doesn't understand or is in trouble, she can't run here every day.
"Do you have any charcoal pencils?" Ling Xiyue asked again.
The guy was stunned and stood there, not really understanding.
Ling Xiyue smiled and said, "Any piece of charcoal will do."
"Oh, yes." The boy quickly found a piece for Ling Xiyue. Of course there is this thing in the blacksmith shop.
The hunchbacked old man didn't pay much attention to Ling Xiyue at all, and used this little free time to chat with Kano.
He asked in a low voice, "How is your grandpa doing? The old guy hasn't been out for a long time. Are there many people breaking into the Dragon Gate recently?"
He hasn't been seen for more than half a year. The last time I asked him to anchor, I still owed him a jar of wine money, which I haven't paid yet.
"It's okay, it's okay." Kano chuckled, "Grandpa is watching the Dragon Gate, and anyone can break into it without permission."
The hunchbacked old man lifted his beard and squinted his eyes, which were already a slit. After the eyes were shining, he looked at Kano with a smile and said, "By the way, Xiaoye, the peach blossom drink you gave me last time, what's left is
Where did you hide the lower half?"
Kano was alert and said it without opening his mouth.
He also smiled and said, "You make Sister Yue what she wants, and I will give you the last half of the jar."
"Hey, you brat, you dare to threaten me." The hunchback Zhang raised his hand and was about to slap him on the forehead, "Do you believe it or not, believe it or not... I sued your grandpa, but you sneaked out again to see that old guy.
Don’t clean it up.”
Kano stuck out his tongue, but was not timid at all, and hummed, "If you tell my grandpa, I will smash your half-jar of wine, pour it into the sea, and feed it to the fish!"
"Hey, you, you..." The hunchback raised and lowered his hand several times, and finally waved his hand fiercely, humming and compromising, "I'm really scared of you, I'll remember it for the old man, next time
Don’t forget to bring it with you this time!”
"Yes" Kano nodded obediently.
The old and the young are fighting here and playing tricks.
Forget it about Kano, after all, he is not that big, but this hunchbacked Zhang is totally an old naughty boy.
The two of them were laughing and having fun, and Ling Xiyue's drawing had been drawn over there. She blew on the charcoal dust on the surface, shook it, picked it up, and handed it over with both hands, "Old man, please take a look."
The hunchback pulled it open, took it, and looked at it without paying attention.
As soon as his eyes fell on the drawing, he froze and looked at it for a long time. His expression gradually tightened, and he slowly raised his long eyebrows that were blocking his eyes, and said in a hesitant voice, "What the hell is this...
…”
At this point he had to admit that he didn't understand.
Did this little girl draw something randomly to deceive the old man?
The painter is pretty good, and the painting method is a bit novel, but I have never seen this thing before.
"Old man, what you have in your hand is the overall rendering." Ling Xiyue explained while handing him another few pieces of straw paper, "Here is the exploded view. You can take a look at it first. If you don't understand anything, you can
ask me."
The hunchback Zhang Jiang was doubtful and took it.
He really wanted to see if there really was a universe inside.
Ling Xiyue basically sketched with charcoal, so the overall painting is realistic, the painting work is delicate and precise, and it is also on a one-to-one scale. Anyone who understands mechanisms and castings can basically understand it, let alone a hidden master like hunchback Zhang.
He almost caught it, and within a few seconds of glancing at it, he immediately understood.
"Wonderful! How wonderful!" The hunchback Zhang's hands holding the drawings were trembling, his eyes were blazing with heat, and he had a weird smile on his lips, as if he was crazy, "Such a design is truly ingenious and ingenious!
"
"Grandpa Zhang..." Kano was frightened.
Has he ever seen a hunchback with such an exaggerated expression?
However, the hunchback Zhang was completely forgetful at this time and could not hear anything else. He stepped next to Ling Xiyue and said, "Girl, this design drawing is probably not from your hand. Tell the old man quickly, it is from
