Among them was a woman with red and swollen eyes filled with tears. She raised a basket full of eggs high and placed it in front of Yan An.
"Thank you for protecting us, benefactor."
"This small gift is just a token of our family's deep gratitude to you."
Immediately afterwards, another young woman walked over quickly, holding a few pieces of fragrant dried bacon in her hand.
"Yes, this is our homemade bacon, it tastes delicious!"
"Please accept it."
Afterwards, someone handed over a basket of fresh fruit, and someone else presented their own carefully made cakes...
For a moment, a dazzling array of delicious food surrounded Yan An, forming an impenetrable human wall.
Lu Jingzhi, who was squeezed out of the circle by the surging crowd, could only watch the lively scene from afar, and an indescribable sense of loss surged in his heart.
He sighed to himself, "Alas, is Yan An the only one who can be considered your savior?"
"I also worked hard to save everyone!"
However, at this moment, the surroundings were filled with noise and bustle, and no one noticed his plaintive whispers.
Lu Jingzhi stood there alone. He slowly raised his hand, held his forehead and smiled helplessly.
Yan An looked at Lu Jingzhi's expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
Then he said slowly to the people around him: "Everyone, there is no need to be so polite."
"As for the thank-you gift, forget it. I've already received your kindness."
"Now is a time when everything needs to be rebuilt and reconstructed urgently. You should fill your stomachs first."
After she finished speaking, she disappeared without a trace in an instant in front of everyone.
Everyone was dumbfounded, at a loss as to what to do for a moment, and stood there in a daze.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi was holding his hand tightly by Yan An.
In the blink of an eye, he teleported to the door of the blacksmith shop.
All I could hear was the clanging and banging sounds of blacksmiths coming from the shop.
"Great benefactor, please come in!"
Hearing Yan An's words, the depressed mood that had been accumulating in Lu Jingzhi's heart seemed to be suddenly penetrated by a ray of warm sunshine, dispelling all the haze that had been covering it.
"My lady, you should wear a human skin mask later."
"So as to avoid being surrounded by people like before, with no way out."
"Then we won't be able to stroll leisurely down the street."
Yan An nodded lightly, "Yes, okay, I will put it on as soon as I take the Red Tassel Spear away."
After saying that, the two of them walked into the slightly stuffy blacksmith shop together.
When the burly uncle saw them come in, his face immediately filled with a warm smile and he walked quickly forward to greet them.
"Thank you both for saving us."
The two smiled at each other and said in unison, "You're welcome. This is also our enemy."
Lu Jingzhi spoke again, "Uncle, I wonder if the Red Tassel Spear can be repaired?"
"It's fixed. You two follow me."
He led the two men slowly towards the house at the back door.
At this moment, Old Yan at the door was lying leisurely on a comfortable recliner with his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.
"Master, Young Master Lu and his wife are here to visit you!"
Hearing the voice, Old Yan opened his eyes, then hurriedly stood up and walked forward with a smile on his face.
"My friend, I have already repaired the red tassel spear you requested."
"Not only that, I've also refined it further, so you'll find it even more comfortable to use."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhi immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Grandpa Yan, for your hard work."
"You're welcome."
After saying that, Old Yan turned around and walked towards the house, his steps seemed a little hurried.
After a while...
He was seen walking out of the house quickly, holding the red tasseled spear on the gun rack tightly in his hand.
The gun head has a unique green-gold color, which is integrated with the gun body without any flaws.
Lu Jingzhi reached out to take the spear, and in an instant, a deafening tiger roar suddenly resounded in his mind.
"Oh my, what's going on? Why does this red tassel spear make such a mighty tiger roar sound?" Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but exclaimed.
Seeing this, Elder Yan laughed heartily and explained, "Don't be alarmed, my friend. To be honest, this spear was carefully tempered by me using an extremely precious fifth-grade Red Blood Tiger Demon Pill."
"Therefore, when it is used, it can summon the powerful spirit contained within."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi's heart surged and his face was full of surprise. He stretched out his hands and gently stroked the spear.
"Old Yan, the mysterious weapons in this world can actually house weapon spirits!"
"Of course it is possible, but only those who have reached the eighth level of spears can have such an opportunity."
"However, after this old man's meticulous tempering, this Red Tassel Spear, which was originally only at the seventh level, has been successfully promoted to the eighth level."
As Old Yan spoke, he gently stroked the long beard on his chin, but his eyes revealed a hint of loss that was difficult to conceal.
"It's a pity that with my current weapon refining attainments, the best I can do is integrate a fifth-level demon pill into it."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi hurriedly clasped his fists and thanked him: "Master Yan, you are too modest. I am already very grateful in my heart."
"To be honest, I already feel extremely satisfied and happy to have obtained such a treasure."
"Hahahaha... That's great, very good!"
