Chapter 76: The Ancestral Blacksmith Shop
After Luo Fanchen kicked Ah Si, he said to Liu Hu: "Boss, I told you about the marrow cleansing and body replacement before. This time my uncle is here, I am 100% sure."
"Oh?" Liu Hu had already gotten used to not being able to practice martial arts, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.
Luo Fanchen continued to explain: "My uncle is definitely one of the best in medical skills, but..."
"Just what?" Liu Hu didn't understand why Luo Fanchen became hesitant today, which was unlike his character.
Luo Fanchen thought for a while and continued, "It's just that my uncle doesn't seem to trust you very much and is on guard against you."
Although he had a good relationship with the old man, his friendship with Liu Hu was a friendship of life and death, which was difficult for outsiders to understand.
If Liu Hu fell into trouble, Luo Fanchen would even sacrifice his own life, so he decided to tell Liu Hu the truth.
Liu Hu understood Zhang Chunqiu's concerns. When one suddenly arrived at a place, he would definitely be on guard against the people around him, so it was normal to have some doubts.
"It's okay, things will change naturally as you get more familiar with them, there's no rush." Liu Hu was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it.
If possible, he hoped not to stop for a moment and practice martial arts as soon as possible. However, the more anxious he was, the more likely he would make mistakes, so he tried his best to say this sentence calmly.
Luo Fanchen nodded, knowing that there was no way to rush into this matter.
Ah Si's eyes widened after hearing this. He was even more surprised than when the stone lock hit Liu Hu. He rolled and crawled to Liu Hu's side and said to him, "Boss, does this mean you can practice martial arts in the future?"
In fact, whether Liu Hu can practice martial arts is just Luo Fanchen's guess. As for whether he can do it or not, we will have to wait until he has undergone marrow cleansing and body replacement to know.
Liu Hu was not sure about this question, so he turned around and glanced at Luo Fanchen. Luo Fanchen immediately understood and said to Ah Si, "What does it have to do with you whether the boss can practice martial arts?"
"Of course it is related."
Ah Si said calmly, and then explained: "If the boss can master martial arts, then I can show my skills in the future. Otherwise, when fighting, I always have to consider the boss's feelings, and I can't let go."
After hearing this, Liu Hu became furious. From what Ah Si said, he felt like a burden. He glared at Ah Si and left, leaving Ah Si standing there alone.
Luo Fanchen could see that Liu Hu was angry, so he kicked Ah Si and said, "If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. Look, the boss was in a good mood, but you made him unhappy."
"What's wrong with me?" Ah Si said innocently.
I just told the truth and I don't understand why Liu Hu was angry. Besides, I will be able to practice martial arts soon, so the boss should be happy.
Ah Si took a step forward, picked up the broken stone lock on the ground and said, "You broke my stone lock, you have to compensate me."
Luo Fanchen held his head. It was already this time, and he was still thinking about Shisuo. He turned around and shouted to the Green-Clothed Guards. Several Green-Clothed Guards immediately appeared in front of Luo Fanchen, lowering their heads and waiting for Luo Fanchen's lecture.
"Go buy an identical stone lock and compensate him. Remember, don't buy one that is too heavy, or it will tire our General Si out." Luo Fanchen joked.
Ah Si chuckled and said to the blue-clothed guards, "I have already inquired about it. The largest blacksmith shop in Houcheng has a treasure that is the most valuable in the shop. You just need to buy the stone lock. I am not picky."
Feelings were waiting for him here. Luo Fanchen didn't expect Ah Si to play tricks on him. He sneered and said, "This store should be difficult to handle. Otherwise, why would you let my people go there?"
"Yes, I went there several times, but they refused to sell it to me. After thinking about it, I decided that it would be more appropriate for you to go. After all, you are unreasonable and we can just rob you." Asi's little thoughts were exposed, and he said this with some embarrassment.
Knowing that Ah Si was honest, Luo Fanchen didn't bother to pay attention and said to the few blue-clothed guards around him: "Go and buy that thing back for him."
"Boss, this..." The Green-Clothed Guards felt a little embarrassed when they heard Luo Fanchen's words. They had heard about that blacksmith shop a long time ago, and they were afraid that it could not be bought with money.
It was rare for the Qingyi Guard to feel embarrassed, Luo Fanchen turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Boss, that blacksmith shop is a century-old business. The stone lock is an heirloom from their ancestors. Many people have wanted to steal it, but they simply refuse to sell it." The Qingyiwei finally told the truth.
After saying this, the Green Guard didn't dare to look directly into Luo Fanchen's eyes. After all, Luo Fanchen had set a rule when he founded the Green Guard that he should not discuss with him whether the task was difficult or not. If he couldn't do it, he should just get out. The only thing he wanted was a clear and understandable answer that he would execute immediately!
Luo Fanchen didn't expect that such a powerful existence could exist in the small city of Hou. When he saw Ah Si looking at him as if he was taking advantage of his misfortune, he knew that things were definitely not that simple.
The Qingyi Guards would definitely not lie to him. Since Ah Si was interested in that thing, he must have been there a long time ago. Although Ah Si was not good at talking, there were few places where he could fail.
After all, Asi does things in a simple and rough way. If something can be solved with a hammer, he will not use other methods.
Thinking of this, Luo Fanchen turned his head and said to Ah Si: "Is there something you didn't tell me?"
When Asi heard Luo Fanchen asking him, he quickly turned around and whistled, pretending not to hear Luo Fanchen's words.
As for Ah Si, Luo Fanchen had many ways to deal with him, so he was not in a hurry. Instead, he turned his head and continued to say to the Qingyi Guards: "Didn't you hear what I said? You can just buy a stone lock that is exactly the same as this one. You don't have to listen to him. That stone lock is too expensive. We Qingyi Guards are poor and can't afford it."
After receiving Luo Fanchen's reply, the Qingyi Guard felt relieved and hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied: "Got it, we will go buy it now."
Seeing the Qingyi Guards were about to leave , Ah Si finally couldn't help it and hurriedly grabbed Luo Fanchen's hand and shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"If you don't tell me the truth, then I have to buy it according to my own wishes." Luo Fanchen shrugged.
Ah Si said with some difficulty: "There is a ninth-level master in that blacksmith shop. I can't beat him."
Looking at the aggrieved Ah Si in front of him, Luo Fanchen wanted to laugh. He hadn't seen Ah Si's expression like this for many years.
" Okay, I'll go with you." He didn't care how high a master the other party was. Since his brother wanted it, he had to go and get it.
Moreover, he hadn't seen this kind of expression on Asi's face for a long time. The last time he saw this expression was when Liu Hu made a new dish and Asi wanted to eat it again.
With Luo Fanchen's help, Asi felt more confident and went out in a high-spirited manner.
