Chapter 416

Zhang Xiaohua saw the shop owner's indifference and did not take it to heart. She asked, "I remember that there was a weapon shop here five years ago that sold swords. How come I can't find it now?"

"Yi?"

The fat shop owner was surprised and said, "There was a weapon shop here five years ago. Have you been here before?

Why are you looking for the blacksmith? "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "May I ask, where is the blacksmith now?"

The fat shop owner sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, my shop used to be a weapon shop. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the skills are not as good as those of us who butcher pigs and sell vegetables. Although the blacksmith's skills are good, no one knows about it. The business of this weapon shop has always been bleak. Three years ago, he really couldn't do it anymore. He didn't want to make any farm tools, so he had to sell the shop to me."

"And then?" Zhang Xiaohua was only concerned about the blacksmith's whereabouts.

"And then?"

The fat shop owner was a little sad and said, "The blacksmith was a talent that was not recognized. Forging all day long exhausted his body. When he wanted to go to a foreign land to make a living, he didn't have any extra energy. He could only stay here and struggle at death's door. Alas, he sold the shop for some money and drank all of it. Last year, he got drunk and slept outside. A heavy snow froze him to death."

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "Last year, wasn't it a month ago?"

"Yes, why?" The shop owner asked, "You're looking for him now. Could it be that you're his relative?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "This guy's imagination is really rich."

She said, "No, I just want to ask him something."

"What is it?

You're looking for him now to ask about something that happened five years ago? "

In an instant, the fat shop owner's gossipy heart was raised high. He said, "Young man, what is it?

Blacksmith and I have been friends for more than ten years. I know a lot of things about him. It's just that he and Widow Zhenxi … "

At this point, he seemed to realize that he had spilled the beans. He hurriedly looked around and said, "I know many things about him, especially his private matters. If you are his son, I can testify for you. He has an empty plot of land outside the town. I can help you with that!"

"Wow ~ Who are these people?"

Zhang Xiaohua was sweating profusely. She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, shopkeeper. I don't know this blacksmith. I just want to ask him some technical questions. If he's not here, then forget it."

"Don't."

The shop owner reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiaohua. "Young man, there's nothing to be shy about. If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you have to talk about technical issues?

Why don't you tell me where you found it? "

Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to tell the shop owner about the small sword. But seeing that the shop owner was overly enthusiastic, if she didn't explain the matter clearly, she might be labeled as "something". So, she helplessly took out the small sword from her arms and said, "It's nothing. Five years ago, I came to this town with my martial uncle and bought a long sword from his weapon shop …"

Before she could finish, the shop owner hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's been five years. I won't return the things that Blacksmith sold. Besides, I don't know where he put those old swords. You should give up."

However, just as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xiaohua's small sword. He couldn't help but call out, "Eh?" He stretched out his hand and said, "Can I see it?"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua handed the small sword over.

The shopkeeper looked left and right, then laughed and said, "Young man, you're not young anymore, yet you're still lying. Don't lie to me, I recognize your sword. I was the one who sent it to his shop to consign it for sale. The blacksmith told me that he was giving it away for free. He didn't charge any money at all. If you want to return it now and exchange it for a longsword, there's no way!!!"

The shop owner said righteously, as if he caught Zhang Xiaohua's tail. He was very proud.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he was truly overjoyed. He quickly took the sword and said with a smile, "Uncle, you've misunderstood. I haven't finished speaking yet. How am I returning it? I was young back then and used this sword as a toy. After playing with it for a few years, I've grown very fond of it. However, I have a younger cousin who has just grown up and actually likes this sword as well. He really wants it, but I don't want to part with it. That's why when I was in town today, I thought of looking for one at the weapon store."

"Since this small sword belongs to Uncle, then may I ask if there are any other similar things?"

"This?"

When the shop owner heard this, he was a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua quickly took out a few copper coins and put them on the counter. She smiled and said, "It's just a child's toy. If you have more, take it out. This time, I won't take it for free."

When the shop owner saw the copper coins, he immediately smiled, but there was still a trace of reluctance. He said, "Sir, you'll be disappointed. This thing is not from home. It was picked up from outside."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and pushed the copper coins over. She said, "It's okay. Just tell me about the small sword."

The shop owner's white and fat hand deftly picked up the copper coins and shouted, "Xiao San, come here."

The white and fat young man who was cleaning the pork in the distance answered and said, "What's the matter?

Father. "

When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, she quickly handed the small sword over. The shop owner took it and put it in front of Xiao San. He asked, "Look at this small sword. Did you pick it up when you went up the mountain to play eight or nine years ago?"

The young man took it and looked at it carefully. He tried hard to recall and said, "Father, it's been so many years. Who can remember it clearly?"

The shop owner's face was full of disappointment. He scolded, "How can you not remember?

I clearly remember that you were the one who picked it up. I sent it to this blacksmith and let him sell it. "

The young man scratched his head and said, "Maybe.

But Father, I really can't remember. "

"You!"

Seeing his son return the small sword, the shop owner felt a little embarrassed. He returned the small sword to Zhang Xiaohua. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Xiaohua asked first, "Xiao San, I want to ask you. Where did you usually play when you were young?"

Xiao San scratched his head again and said, "It's all fun places around the town. I've played almost all of them."

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. This rascal was really unusually mischievous. Why did he change so much now?

He didn't have the cleverness that came from being mischievous at all?

At this moment, Xiao San suddenly stopped scratching his head. He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Aiyo, I think I remember. I found this small sword when I was digging for bird eggs when I was young. At that time, it even cut my hand and made me bleed a lot!"

The shop owner laughed and scolded, "What do you mean when you were young? You were already thirteen or fourteen years old. You could jump up and down and climb trees."

Zhang Xiaohua said nervously, "Then do you still remember where you dug for bird eggs?"

"Of course I remember. It's on the bald mountain in the south of the town. There's a big locust tree on the western corner. Ever since I cut my hand, I didn't dare to climb that tree again."

"I see." Zhang Xiaohua was deep in thought when she heard this.

Seeing this, the shop owner quickly said, "How about this, young man, where do you live?

When the sun rises tomorrow, let Xiao San bring you over to take a look. Who knows, you might be able to find another one?

Since the child has nothing to do, you can just give him some pocket money tomorrow. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua quickly waved her hand and said, "There's no need, Uncle. I'm just here to try my luck. If there isn't one, then forget it. At most, I'll go somewhere else to buy one for him. I really don't dare to trouble you."

After saying that, she cupped her hands in thanks and left the shop.

The small sword was an immortal weapon. There might be other immortal weapons beside it. How could Zhang Xiaohua let others search for it?

After leaving the butcher's shop, Zhang Xiaohua saw that it was still early. She used her qinggong and headed towards the south.

When she reached the south side of the town, Zhang Xiaohua still cautiously asked the locals about it. Only then did she set off again. As she rushed forward, she released her divine perception to look around. Not long after, her divine perception had already found the bald mountain that Xiao San had mentioned. Furthermore, that big locust tree was still alive.

However, what disappointed Zhang Xiaohua was that in her divine perception, there was no movement of vital energy.

To go or not to go, Zhang Xiaohua was a little hesitant.

But, the feeling of entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed made him a little unwilling. After thinking for a while, he still chose to go.

This was a very ordinary bald mountain. There weren't many trees, only some snow. The big locust tree beside it was also covered in snow.

Coming under the big locust tree, Zhang Xiaohua sat down cross-legged. She released her divine perception completely and searched carefully in all directions. After about the time it took to eat a meal, she saw Zhang Xiaohua suddenly move. Using Earth Escape, she came to the bottom of the slope on the other side of the bald mountain. There was a small flowing river here, the river water gurgling.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiaohua walked to an unusually dark place by the river. There were many dead branches and thorny bushes here. Zhang Xiaohua released his flying sword. Not long after, a large empty space was cleared out. He walked over and squatted down on one side of the river bank. Picking up the small sword, he started to dig randomly. Not long after, he dug out a pile of messy things from the soil. Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind the dirt. She took out a handkerchief from her robes and wrapped up the things that she dug out. Carefully keeping it in her robes, she then stood up in satisfaction and used her qinggong to rush towards the brightly lit town.

When she returned to the inn, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange had already gone to bed. Zhang Xiaohua went back to his room. Drawing water, she washed the things in the handkerchief one by one. Only then did she put it on the table to look at it carefully.

There were a few pale white jade slips and a dark green jade bracelet. Except, other than one of them which was still emitting a weak vital energy movement, the others were no different from ordinary jade items. Zhang Xiaohua picked up the pale white jade slip with fluctuations and used his divine perception to penetrate it. When he saw the words inside, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
