The matter was settled by Baihuang, so naturally Baifeng would not be ambiguous, and it didn't take long for Liushi to be sent to Yuxi City in a high-profile manner.
I was also fortunate to meet this legendary blacksmith who became famous due to negative news.
"Let's talk about it first. My aunt is only responsible for bringing people here. What happens after that has nothing to do with me."
Beside the carriage, Bai Huang said with arms folded.
Her voice was not low, it seemed that she was not shy about letting the people in the carriage hear her, and she left after speaking.
After she left, a pale arm stretched out from the carriage. It was probably as white as in a ghost movie, and then the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a tall man stepped on the ground with one foot, and slowly walked down with the carriage. He didn't look at me, just stared at the concrete floor under his feet, silently staring in a daze, like a student who was called out and punished to stand.
"Liu Shi, right? I heard about you from Bai Huang."
Hearing what I said, Liu Shi raised his head slightly, glanced at me at a very fast speed, and then lowered his head again.
But thanks to this, I also saw his face clearly.
Objectively speaking, Liushi looks pretty good and has the potential to be a good boy. He deserves to be a man who can marry into Yoshihirata's family. But it feels very sloppy, the dark blue hair is too long to block the eyes, and there is a strong greasy feeling on the face. Fortunately, the bangs are not very thick, and his general appearance can be seen clearly when he looks up.
The dark circles under his eyes are so thick that he seems to be about to die suddenly in the next moment. He is obviously taller than me, but because of his stooped back, he seems to be a little shorter than me. The most important pair of eyes are no longer at the level of dead fish eyes. They reveal the huge despair, pain, and anxiety, as if they are about to appear black fog.
No, no, no matter how you put it, the black smoke from the eyes is a bit too scary.
It's just this feeling, because I haven't seen such a person for too long, so I didn't know what to say for a while.
At this moment, another middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage. He looked like an old gentleman, a gentleman in the true sense of the word. Although the clothes are tattered and patched, they still have a good temperament. Wearing a bowler hat, with an upturned gray beard, and leaning on a cane, he bowed deeply to me as he got out of the car, and said:
"I have seen the Lord City Lord."
I looked at him a few times and asked:
"Are you... the housekeeper who left Jipingtian with Liushi?"
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for remembering... Exactly. My name is Naru, and I was taken care of by Master Liushi before, so I voluntarily wandered with him. No... I should not be able to say that I am wandering now. Lord City Lord can take us in, and we respect that Thank you so much."
I looked at him twice.
I feel that this butler is quite good at talking.
Liushi muttered in a low voice:
"It's the same for me to take... wherever. A murderer like me, being able to live in this world is a gift from others. You don't have to worry about it, just use me as you like. As long as I don't die, I can do as much work as I want. But I hope that the city lord will give me half a day every week. If I need any materials, I also hope that the city lord can provide me as much as possible... Of course not for free... Just use this to offset my salary. .”
Is it so easy to deal with
Looking at his lifeless expression, I couldn't help asking:
"What do you need materials for?"
Liu Shi raised his head slightly, and said numbly:
"Make my stuff... only I can make it..."
Speaking of which, I did hear Bai Huang just now.
Legend has it that Liushi killed his wife in order to complete one of his great forging works.
But I didn't expect that after being kicked out by Yoshihirata, he was still wandering while continuing his own development work.
"Are you still doing it now? Is there a reason?"
I asked a question.
Liu Shi's lips trembled, and he replied:
"This is my whole life... the last thing I have left... my reason for living..."
He muttered, looking like a bee struggling to crawl on the playground on a rainy day.
The concept of being alive can no longer be felt, and it is possible to step into death at any time.
It must be a bit too gloomy!
Butler Naru said to me apologetically:
"I'm really sorry, Lord City Master. Lord Liushi's mental state is not particularly stable recently."
I nodded:
"I see. Has it always been like this?"
"It can only be said that the frequency is very high ... it is also related to the weather."
"It has something to do with the weather?"
"Yes. Sunny days, cloudy days, foggy days, rainy days, and snowy days will be more obvious."
"Isn't that basically depression every day!"
Naru took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his brow.
It's not easy for this guy either.
Being with negative people for a long time can easily lead to depression. Not everyone can pull others out of the mud, and not everyone is willing to get out of the mud.
Liushi looked at me seriously, lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry that the castellan saw my depressed appearance... But it's okay, from today onwards, I will put myself into the garbage dump in the corner wholeheartedly... Don't care about people like me, the castellan, as long as you treat me as a convenient prop Just use it... just input materials and output equipment, that's how I am now."
After speaking, he lowered his head again.
Looking at his dusty clothes, I scratched my head and said:
"All in all, the long journey has been tiring. Take a shower and have a good rest. It's not too late to talk about anything tomorrow."
Flowstone replied:
"No need. If I have that time... I want to take a look at the forging room first... that's where I will work in the future."
Naru said beside him:
"It's like this, Lord City Master. Lord Liushi has very short rest time every day, and he only takes a bath once a week or so."
"The past was the past, and the present is the present. In Yuxi City, follow my rules."
Liushi pushed Liushi to the bathroom a little forcefully, and the latter didn't refuse any more.
It seems that refusing is far more troublesome than taking a bath.
There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and I stood at the door with the butler Naru. Naaru bowed again to me and said:
"Thank you very much, Lord Santo. Is there anything I can do?"
I glanced at Naru and replied:
"For now, let's take care of Liushi's daily life. I don't plan to arrange new servants for him, so I'd better entrust his daily life to you first."
"I understand. Also, Lord City Master, I have been wandering with Lord Liushi for three years, and one thing is very clear. Although he is a bit lazy, he is actually a good person. At least now, he has reformed himself..."
I said calmly:
"No need to say much, I will observe with my own eyes."
At this moment, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, followed by the sound of cloth rubbing against each other.
Before coming out, Liushi's voice came out first:
"It's finished. The next step is to take a look at the forging room... Or rather, please take me to take a look...!"
Speaking of the forging room again, Liu Shi's dim eyes finally lit up with a gleam of spirit.
Just right, I also want to try his ability.
