Chapter 419: The location for making the Iron Man is in Xilingduan
The busy spring season lasts for several days.
By the time they had taken care of all the paddy fields at home, the men were almost exhausted.
As the son-in-law of the Su family, Big Beard also rolled up his trousers and went to the fields to help with the work without complaining at all.
People feel refreshed when they are happy. Planting rice and doing farm work is indeed tiring, but when you go home you can eat the meals cooked by your wife.
fragrant!
Bai Xiaofeng came the day after the spring busy season ended.
It was just after noon, and the younger generations gathered at the Huo family to ask the teacher to give them some special lessons.
In the Su family courtyard, the men, who had been tired for many days, lay in the main room listening to the bickering between the old man and the bearded man, while the women went to the medicine garden to tend to the newly planted medicinal herbs.
After entering the house, Bai Xiaofeng saw a tin man occupying a chair, pretending to be a man. He threw a copper box over to him and sat down on an empty stool nearby. "I made this when I was bored, but I have no use for it. I'll give it to you."
Wang Bai held the copper box with an expressionless face.
"What is this? Let me see, old man!" Du Buqin immediately went over to unlock the box and took out two things. "What is this?"
It looks like an inner garment or pants, but not quite. When unfolded, it is very small, without a collar or waistband, and without cuffs or trouser legs.
It is as thin as a cicada's wing, yet not transparent, extremely flexible, and its color is the same as human skin color.
The old man was surprised, "Bai Xiaofeng, what on earth is this?"
Old man Su and his two sons were also curious, and they came up to the little clothes and studied them from all directions.
The bearded man curled his lips. "The things he makes are nothing more than mechanisms and human skin masks. This thing must also be a mask, worn on the body. Look closely, there are even fingers and toes."
Not only the fingers and toes, but even the nails embedded in them are lifelike.
Old Man Su's eyes lit up. "Oh, this thing is great! When Wang Bai wears this, the iron sheet won't be visible on his body. Next year when we go farming, he can just roll up his trouser legs and go to the fields with us!"
This spring, when they were busy working in the fields, Wang Bai wanted to follow them several times, but when he rolled up his trouser legs, all he could see was the black iron sheet.
The Su family didn't want Wang Bai to be stared at by the curious villagers, so they coaxed him into helping with the fire and cooking at home, so that he could join in the fun of spring plowing.
Su Da and Su Er couldn't wait to strip Wang Bai's clothes off and put on a "leather" coat for him on the spot.
After he was dressed, several people surrounded Wang Bai, who looked brand new, and were shocked and happy.
Even Wang Bai himself saw that his body had changed and subtle emotions were revealed in his eyes.
"Changdong, this thing is well made! Wangbai looks like us now!" Su was very happy. Wangbai had skin now, and at first glance he looked like a living person.
Su Er clapped his hands excitedly, "Changdong! Stay for dinner tonight! I'll make you my best grilled fish!"
Bai Xiaofeng curled his lips and snorted, "Hasn't this master ever eaten fish?"
Amidst the laughter, a discordant voice was heard.
Du Buqin hit Wang Bai in front and behind several times, always feeling that something was wrong. Now he finally figured it out, "Bai Xiaofeng, Wang Bai is a man! He looks like a eunuch when he wears this leather! Since you're going to do it, why not at least make it complete? That way it will hurt Wang Bai more."
Everyone, “…”
The corner of Bai Xiaofeng's mouth that had just curled up stiffened and fell, veins popping out of his forehead. "Wang Bai, don't poop!"
The old man disagreed, "You still have to pull it."
He sighed, dug out a pair of small scissors from the sewing basket hanging behind the main hall door, walked over to Wang Bai, and patted his arm lovingly, "Wang Bai, Grandpa Du loves you. Turn around, and I'll make a hole in your butt so you can poop through it when you eat. Otherwise, the food will get moldy if you keep it in your stomach."
“…”
The old man was chased all over the house by Wang Bai.
The younger generation who were still taking private lessons at the Huo family across the street heard the Hundred Floor Master's roar, "Poison-proof! Su Wangbai! I spent six thousand taels of silver making this thing! If you dare to scratch it, I will never let you go!"
In addition to the roar, there were also bursts of laughter and the sound of someone falling down and dropping a stool.
It was a complete chaos.
Boys, "..."
Girls, "..."
Mrs. Huo climbed over the wall and watched a great show.
The villagers who had free time in the afternoon were already accustomed to such scenes. They would sit in front of the main halls of each house to listen to the excitement, chatting and laughing while listening.
The story ended with the old man Du personally lighting three incense sticks for Wang Bai.
…
"Over the past six months, martial arts masters have been disappearing inexplicably from various countries. I suspect it has something to do with the creation of the Iron Man."
After the younger generations had gathered, Bai Xiaofeng revealed the purpose of his visit. "Ever since I became suspicious of Wen Renjing, I've had people investigate him, and we've made some new discoveries."
Tianbao, Bai Yu and others listened attentively without interrupting.
"Since twenty years ago, Wen Renjing has visited Xiling at least once a year to visit the Queen of Xiling, and he would stay in Xiling for over a month before leaving."
Su An scratched his head, "Uncle Changdong, do you mean that Wenren Jing is close to Queen Xiling?"
"That's one thing. There's another." Bai Xiaofeng drew the jade fan from his waist, opened and closed it in his hand, his eyes slightly cold. "I suspect the place where the Iron Man was forged might be in the Xiling Imperial City—Du'an."
"Why are you so sure, godfather?" Bai Yu frowned.
Bai Xiaofeng chuckled, "Because Wenren Jing secretly transported the Dark Iron over there."
Wen Renjing acted very secretly and indeed deceived others, but he could not hide it from his eyes and ears.
After delivering the message, Bai Xiaofeng stood up and straightened his clothes, smoothing out any wrinkles on his sleeves and collar. "Everything is ready. Come with me to Xiling in a few days. I'll catch the traitor, and you catch the Iron Man."
Before leaving, he specifically instructed, "Bring Wangbai with you, and you'll get twice the result with half the effort."
"Changdong, the grilled fish is almost ready. Let's prepare for dinner. Don't go back!" Su Er's loud voice came from the kitchen.
Bai Xiaofeng snorted, "I won't eat it!"
Just go!
Can’t eat!
Whenever he saw the old man Du Buqin, a pair of small scissors would appear in his mind!
I feel full without eating!
The three brothers Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu were particularly looking forward to this trip and gathered together whispering.
Although it may sound unfilial to be happy to leave, it is really unbearable to stay.
As a mother, looking at them every day is like looking at unfilial sons.
When their fathers looked at them, the words "you evil beasts" were clearly written on their faces.
Little Wheat Ear has already run home to pack his packages.
Bing'er carefully returned to her room with Buyu in her arms, muttering to herself, "In a few days, we'll go out fighting with our brothers and sisters again. Are you happy? If you're happy, you should hatch quickly. Sister Bing'er will take you to see the world!"
Tianbao and Bai Yu were the calmest after receiving the news.
The two of them sat on low stools, rarely talking to each other, each looking lost in thought.
Bai Yu only came back to his senses when he heard the call for dinner from the kitchen. He glanced at the girl beside him who had also just regained her composure, "Tianbao, don't you want to leave home?"
Tianbao hummed.
My grandparents are getting older. Every time they go out and come back, there are more wrinkles on their faces and more white hair on their heads than the last time.
There are also my parents, my second uncle and aunt, and my master and his wife, all of whom show more and more signs of aging.
Tianbao would rather stay at home with them.
She was afraid that her parents would be gone by the time she wanted to support them.
But after being forced into the dispute, many things became beyond one's control.
She began to feel irritated with the outside world.
