Seeing this, Dolai was cheered up. He had practiced basic boxing. Although he couldn't learn this cross punch at first sight, he could figure out the main idea of ​​the person who designed it. Although it was mainly a blocking style, as long as it was a boxing style, it couldn't be learned outside without spending money. He felt like he had picked up a treasure.

Thinking of this, he carefully read through the boxing techniques and wrote down carefully the boxing techniques, key points of the movements, precautions, etc. He read it very seriously, and practiced while writing down the movements.

Oddo was lying in the doghouse, watching Dolay gesturing there, and he felt relieved. He had finally led this kid onto the right path. As long as he was willing to practice, and with the magic he used to condition him at night, it shouldn't take him long to reach the apprentice level. As long as he could reach the apprentice level, he would be able to find a proper job and wouldn't have to work in a mine.

He strolled around the mine at night these few days, and when he saw the environment of the mine, he sighed slightly in his heart. This was just a place to survive, not a place to make money. Moreover, Duolai was still young, and the salary was just enough for one person to spend. He couldn't even afford to get sick, so how could he live like this?

As his savior, Oddo felt that he should improve its life. Fortunately, Dolai was not the kind of person who was hopeless and knew how to make progress. With a little effort from him, this guy got on the right track. Not bad.

Emmm, I'll go look for it tonight to see if there are any other small veins of magic crystal ore in other places. It feels so good to suck it, I feel like I'm almost addicted.

Ahhh, days like this are truly wonderful!

Changing to a new mine was not as worrying as Dolai had thought. On the contrary, he earned more salary. In addition, his health was getting better. As long as his salary could keep up, his life would be better than before. He did not feel as scared as before. As for the damn Oddo, Dolai thought that as long as he avoided him, he would not have to be afraid at all.

Now he is afraid that someone will inform on him and disclose his whereabouts. Given Oddo's vindictive character, he is afraid that he will not gain any benefit from it.

But soon, five or six days passed, and Oddo still didn't find Dole. Instead, Dole's cross fist technique went from being unskilled in the beginning to being proficient now.

Life seems to be moving in a good direction.

On February 1st, Dole was awakened by the sound of raindrops hitting the tarpaulin. Hearing the sound, he jumped up from his bed, went to the window and looked out. It was still a dark morning, and raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky and landed on the ground, forming puddles. In places with many puddles, the water overflowed and flowed into the small canal. The sound of gurgling water poured into his ears.

It’s raining, damn it. I can’t go to work today.

Rain means that I won’t be able to work for two or three days. If I have to live off my savings, based on three copper coins a day, I’ll need at least ten copper coins. When Dolai thought of this, he began to wail in his heart.

I had managed to save up thirteen copper coins, but now they were all gone.

The heavens were against him. Thinking of this, he had a sad look on his face, feeling that he had been busy for nothing these past few days. He could bear the rain before, but now that he was learning boxing, he needed to eat a lot every day. How could he bear this?

With a sigh, Dolai lay back on the bed, wondering what to do on a rainy day. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing. If he really had to lie down for three or five days, he would not be able to buy the dictionary.

It's really confusing.

Thinking of this, Duolai sat cross-legged on the bed until dawn.

He was used to the sitting posture now, and the numbness in his legs gradually faded away. After sitting for a while, he felt his whole body relaxed, which was very beneficial for rest. After practicing for a long time, Duolai did not feel how sleepy he was, and his whole body was full of strength. The only drawback was that he got hungry easily.

Food is needed for physical development and for learning boxing. His money is not enough to buy food. If he takes three or five days off without any salary income, Duolai feels like he is going crazy.

When I thought about this, I thought about dawn.

At this moment, he was startled by a clanging sound. It was the sound of iron forging in the blacksmith shop, which was particularly loud in the early morning.

Dolai's mind immediately became lively. He could go to the blacksmith shop. With his current physique, he would definitely be able to apply for a job as a laborer. He had applied for the job before, but the blacksmith had dismissed him with just a few words, saying that he was not in good health. Now he would definitely be able to do it.

Blacksmith shops are also a specialty of Dormond City. There are two types of blacksmith shops in Dormond City, one for forging ore and the other for forging various ironware.

The blacksmith shop that forges ore is called an official shop, which means that only officials can open it. They collect the ore from various mines, refine the ore themselves, and smelt the iron ore into iron ingots. This is a unique business.

Of course, the original ore does not have to be smelted in Duomeng County. After winter every year, various caravans will come from outside to collect ore and take it to other places for smelting. However, private individuals are not allowed to smelt in Duomeng County.

There are many blacksmith shops of the second type, which forge various weapons, farm tools, repair carriages, and forge various miscellaneous items. There are several of them on the edge of the slums, and they often recruit laborers.

The wages for the laborers were very low, only three copper coins a day, but meals were provided all day, which was definitely a good job for Dolai.

Thinking of this, he put on his tattered clothes, said hello to Oddo, pushed open the door, and rushed into the cold rain.

The city of Dormond is not big. Relying on the mines, people in the entire city live a good life. Except for those in the slums, people in other places have a decent life.

After leaving the slums and walking a little further along the street, you will reach the ordinary residential and commercial areas of Dormond City. The area here is the largest in Dormond City. Early in the morning, bursts of clanging sounds came from various places, embellishing the early morning of Dormond City. Normally, at this time, it is the time for mine workers to go to work, and people come and go, and it is very lively. But today it is raining heavily, and there is no one on the street. Only a few workers in the blacksmith shop can be seen still forging iron under the shed.

Duolai is also a veteran here. He often comes here to hang out and knows which one is cheap, which one is expensive, and which one has more or less work. He doesn't deliberately want to learn any skills, he just does odd jobs for a few days, and of course he only chooses the one that pays the most.

Soon, he arrived at the door of Lao Ke's blacksmith shop in the rain.

At this moment, he was completely soaked, with water all over his hair and clothes, and he quickly came to the stove.

The blacksmith also knew Dolai, and while he was lighting the fire, he joked, "It's you, kid. Why are you here today? Why don't you go to the mine?"

"It's raining so hard, how can I go? I came here today to ask if you need odd jobs, paid by the day. I'll work for a few days." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong shoulders and arms.

The blacksmith was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to make some sarcastic remarks, he saw Dolai's exposed arm. Oh, there was something there. So he smiled naively and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask Brother Ha." After that, he put down the bellows and walked to the back.

Lao Ke's blacksmith shop is divided into two parts, the front stall and the back workshop. The back workshop is at the back, and is mainly used for secondary processing and purification of the purchased iron ingots. It is usually not outside, while the front stall is where the official blacksmithing takes place.
