If these unruly teenagers just leave like this, he won't be able to find anyone, and he won't be able to seek justice from them.
His movement caused him to experience another sharp pain in his lower back.
The blacksmith hissed in pain.
Because he couldn't straighten his back, he had to bend his body slightly and lie on his side on the ground, not daring to move anymore.
Lin Shu and Qin Wu had been silently watching over Zhou Zifang. When they saw what was happening in the distance, they also walked over.
"Uncle, let me help you up." The blacksmith felt a sharp pain in his lower back as soon as Qiu Xu moved slightly. "I told you, don't move!"
His expression turned tense, as if he was afraid that Qiu Xu would touch him again.
Even so, he held Qiu Xu's arm tightly and couldn't let go.
"Then what do you want?" Gao Chong asked loudly.
He still felt that the blacksmith was trying to take advantage of them and extort money from them.
After all, he had done similar things before.
"What do I want? You bunch of spoiled brats hurt me like this, and you still ask me what I want?" The blacksmith's back was aching terribly, but he was still angry at the child's questioning.
With his wrist tightly held by the blacksmith, Qiu Xu was forced to sit down beside him and said to Zhou Zifang, "Brother Zhou, I'll stay here. Go back and call my sister over."
If he could, he didn't want his sister to know about the trouble they had caused.
If he had known it would cause trouble, he wouldn't have played it.
The blacksmith, panting heavily, said unhappily, "What good is calling me 'sister'? She's just a little girl."
Qiu Xu in front of me doesn't look very old, so his older sister must be a teenager.
The blacksmith didn't think that a teenager could solve any problems.
"Call your adults over." With that, he frowned deeply, clearly the pain in his back was unbearable.
Upon hearing the instruction to address him as "sir," Zhou Zifang recalled the scene of his father chasing him and shrank back.
He stepped forward and said to the blacksmith, "Name your price? How much do you want? We'll compensate you."
Zhao An nodded in agreement, "We are willing to compensate."
Zhao Yang nodded in agreement.
He felt uneasy. If his parents found out, he would inevitably be punished.
Upon hearing the word "compensation," the blacksmith's anger subsided considerably, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Who doesn't love money?
He opened a blacksmith shop just to make money, didn't he?
But in an instant, his face darkened.
"Hmph, integrity? Do you know how much integrity is worth?"
"Honesty?" Qiu Xu nodded: "Uncle, we are very honest. If we said we would treat you, we will definitely keep our word."
The blacksmith scoffed coldly:
“This isn’t just a simple medical issue. A few days ago, many people contacted me to order farm tools. Now my back hurts so much that I can’t work. How am I supposed to explain this to them?”
As he spoke, he remained wary of Qiu Xu, fearing that he might escape.
Little did they know that with Qiu Xu's abilities, if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't be here.
"This..." Qiu Xu was somewhat troubled after hearing this.
The blacksmith had just strained his back, so he couldn't do the work of swinging a hammer to make farm tools.
Upon hearing this, Gao Chong raised his voice and said, "That's easy. You can have those people buy farm tools from other blacksmith shops." There's more than just one blacksmith shop in Baiyang City.
The blacksmith looked at Gao Chong with displeasure. "You make it sound so easy. Aren't I just handing over my business to someone else?" As a blacksmith, he was a master craftsman.
But now, he can't move his waist at all.
Zhou Zifang sighed and looked at the guard beside him.
