The two hesitated for a moment, and the blacksmith started to chase people again: "Let's go! Don't stick here, the silver is gone, I'm closing the door!"
The blacksmith was rude and loud enough that people outside could hear him.
A young boy came in and asked, "Is there no silver so soon today?"
"It's sold out!" the blacksmith replied, "It was all bought by those foreigners, and not a single silver thread was left!"
The young boy showed dissatisfaction: "They bought it all, so what if we don't have any money in our family? These people don't come sooner or later, but they come at this time!"
The blacksmith didn't care: "You can melt a silver fork."
"I have melted two handfuls last month, and there is not much left at home." The young boy frowned and complained, but he also knew that the blacksmith had no silver here, and complaining more was useless. He mumbled a few words and turned away.
The blacksmith looked at Bai Youwei and Shen Mo, "Hey? Why haven't you left yet?"
"If I have silver myself, can I melt it with you?" Bai Youwei asked.
The blacksmith was stunned for a while, then looked up and down Bai Youwei and Shen Mo, "...you have money?"
"Yes." Bai Youwei asked seriously, "I'll give you silver, you can help me make some nails and a silver dagger."
After a pause, she changed her mind again and stretched out two fingers: "Two daggers."
The blacksmith shook his head again and again: "I can't do it, I can't do two, it's too much work, I'll make one for you at most, and I'll pick it up tomorrow!"
"How long does it take?" Bai Youwei looked disappointed, "What about the nails?"
"The nails will be ready before sunset today," replied the blacksmith.
Bai Youwei thought for a while, pulled Shen Mo out of the blacksmith shop, found an unoccupied corner, opened the doll's house, and let the rabbit come out with some silver cups and plates.
These tableware are extraordinarily ornate, not only carved with patterns, but also inlaid with pearls and gemstones on several of the cups.
Bai Youwei picked two cups and a plate, returned to the blacksmith shop, and handed these things over to the blacksmith.
"Enough?" she asked.
The blacksmith touched these exquisite silver tableware and couldn't put it down, "Enough, enough."
"Okay, then we'll pick it up later." After Bai Youwei finished speaking, she took Shen Mo and left.
There are still some places in the village that they haven't visited, and they have to walk around to find out what's going on.
Moreover, Hans had to find a chance to take a look, lest the other party make a fool of himself.
The two continued to walk into the village, and they came across the young boy they had just met in the blacksmith shop. He was squatting under the window edge of a house, not knowing what he was doing.
Bai Youwei was about to get closer to see it clearly, but was dragged by Shen Mo next to her, and took a few steps to hide behind the adjacent house.
Bai Youwei looked at Shen Mo inexplicably and asked him silently, "What are you doing?"
Shen Mo replied in a low voice, "Look at what he is doing."
Bai Youwei was suspicious, and cautiously stuck out half of her head, looked at it for a while, and finally saw a bit of fame.
The young boy was holding a pair of pliers and was pulling out the silver nails protruding near the windowsill one by one!
Bai Youwei looked at the house again, gloating a little in her heart, and said to Shen Mo, "It seems to be the house that Hans and the others are going to live in."
The houses that the village chief arranged for them were empty houses with no one living in them, and there were no nails. Now there are silver nails on the houses. Obviously, Hans's people were going to live there, so they nailed them up.
"Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?" Bai Youwei grinned, "Who told him to buy all the money, he deserves it!"
Shen Mo pondered: "I don't know if the number of these silver nails will affect the werewolf's choice..."
"Ah... How did he leave?" Bai Youwei saw the young boy walking away with pliers, and there were still many nails on the windowsill.
"Did he find us?" Bai Youwei couldn't help but go out and look again.
Shen Mo said: "It's too obvious to pull out all of them. He should be planning to choose a few families, and each pulls seven or eight nails, and that's enough."
