Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 360

Holding Uncle Cigarette and riding a horse all the way.

Li Hongbing was so tired of it, he never used a saddle to ride a horse, but Uncle Yandai couldn't do it, he couldn't sit on the horse without a saddle, and he slipped into Li Hongbing's arms after running for a while.

It's okay if he is holding Shan Xing, and if Lang has a lover and concubine, then the picture is normal.

It's good now, Uncle Bag's two old legs are holding Heifeng tightly, and the bird is curled up in his arms like a human being. Every time Heifeng rushes forward, Uncle Yandai will bump into his arms.

I feel bad all over!
Uncle Yandai lowered his head, his old face was red and black, and he grasped his mane tightly with both hands.

Hei Feng also felt uncomfortable, the old man on his back kept scratching his mane.

It hurts!
As soon as Heifeng hurts, he flicked his neck, and when he flicked his neck, Uncle Yandai increased his strength, and his body was closer to Li Hongbing.

There is no solution for the three parties, a vicious circle.

When they stopped at the gate of the old house, the two men breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Hongbing jumped off the ground first, and then helped Uncle Yandai get off his horse. Every time Heifeng was ridden, he would play in the old house for a while, but this time he turned around and ran towards the meadow.

What a shame!

Being ridden by an old man, you have to take a shower!

Bring Uncle Cigarette to the warehouse.

Tiger saw a skinny old man walk into the house, doubts flickered in his big copper bell eyes.

"Uncle Yandai will make your teeth, open your mouth!" Li Hongbing said softly.

After a few days of eating and drinking, as well as inputting the original power once a day, the tiger's body has grown some flesh, and it doesn't look so scrawny.

Knowing that the old man was doing his own teeth.

Tiger opens his mouth!

A normal adult tiger has [-] teeth, including upper and lower incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.

数量分别为：上颌门齿6颗、犬齿2颗、前臼齿6颗、臼齿2颗，下颌门齿6颗、犬齿2颗、前臼齿4颗、臼齿2颗。

Each type of tooth has its own division of labor, and only by cooperating with each other can the tiger eat the meat.

The upper and lower six front teeth are small but sharp, used to tear pieces of meat.The longer ones are the canines, which are mainly used for hunting and fighting.

Inward are the premolars and rear molars, which are mainly used for chewing.

The greater distance between the molars and canines helps the tiger bite into prey more efficiently.

Now that the tiger opened its mouth, the four iconic fangs were cut off at the same root, and the other teeth were also damaged to varying degrees.

"Who did this? It's wicked to smoke black smoke from the ancestral grave."

Although the tiger is a man-eating thing, you can kill it, so why bother to destroy the tiger's teeth on purpose.

Uncle Yandai cursed angrily, intending to reach into the tiger's mouth and touch his gums.

But he didn't dare to do it for a long time.

As the saying goes, you can't touch a tiger's fart, and you can't even touch a tiger's mouth.

Seeing Uncle Yandai standing next to the tiger's mouth, gesticulating with his hands as if singing an opera, Li Hongbing smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't bite, just touch it casually."

"Really?" Uncle Yandai looked at Li Hongbing suspiciously.

A toothless tiger is also a tiger.

If the tiger gets angry and bites down, I won't be able to keep my old arms and legs.

"Really, if you don't dare, I'll help Huzui head office!" Seeing that Uncle Yandai still didn't dare, Li Hongbing stepped forward and hugged Tiger's head.

Seeing this, Uncle Yandai quickly put his hand into the tiger's mouth, and molded the gums up and down. During the process, the palm of his hand occasionally touched the barbed tongue, and his heart suddenly became irritated.

"Okay!" After touching the size, Uncle Yandai pulled out his hand, with a little excitement on his face.

Touch the tiger's mouth!

It is estimated that the entire Caogou Village is the only one who dares to do this.

When I go back, I can show off to my old brothers for a long time.

"Uncle, how are you doing!" Li Hongbing let go of the tiger's head.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Uncle Yandai nodded, "I'll make the mold first!"

Leave the warehouse.

Uncle Yandai came to the well with a basket and asked Li Hongbing to use a sieve to sieve the loess several times to pick out all the large stones and leave fine yellow sand.

Add water, salt and puree.

Then the mud ball is beaten repeatedly to get a mud base with moderate hardness.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Yandai divided the mud into three pieces, pressed the largest piece of mud into a flat rectangle, walked into the warehouse again, and sent the mud to the tiger's mouth.

"Bite hard!"

Tiger looked at Uncle Yandai in a daze.

This person is sick?
Eat dirt! !
"Hong Soldier, tell me, let him take a bite so I can make a dental model." Uncle Yandai yelled back.

Under Li Hongbing's persuasion, the tiger left uneven tooth marks on the mud embryo.

Holding the teeth marks, Uncle Yandai gestured the length and distance with his fingers. As an experienced rural blacksmith, he could accurately grasp the size of the braces parts with only his eyes and hands.

In the past, there were no such high-end measuring tools in rural areas, and they all relied on a pair of eyes and a pair of hands.

The barber looks with his eyes and can shave a shiny head without hurting the scalp.

With his hands, the craftsman can weave all kinds of bamboo and bamboo products.

The mason's eyes swept away, and the wall he built was straight and flat, otherwise, where did it come from?

Coopers rely entirely on their eyesight and hand strength to piece together pieces of wood into wooden barrels, which can last for decades.

And stonemasons, carpenters, knife sharpeners, tinkers.
In just 20 years, these traditional craftsmen with superb skills seem to have disappeared overnight, and only the objects they left behind prove that they once existed.

"Red Soldier, the size of the braces is almost the same, but what about the four big teeth, I have never seen tiger teeth." Uncle Yandai put down the mold soil for the gums, and took out another piece of mud.

Huya!

Li Hongbing thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, and found a photo of tiger fangs in Du Niang, "Can I do it according to this picture?"

Uncle Yandai took the phone, studied the photos for a while, pulled out a lump of yellow mud from the mud, and rubbed it into the shape of teeth in his hands.

Compare the Huya style in the picture while rubbing.

Soon, the four teeth showed their prototypes, and the surface of the tiger teeth was carefully carved. A thin branch was like a paintbrush in Uncle Yandai's hands, and even the blood grooves on the surface of the teeth were outlined one by one.

"It's almost like this. Go back and dry it, get the braces out, and then put these four canine teeth on. Let's work together."

at this time.

Shan Xing takes Anna and Sha Wa back home, hears movement in the warehouse, looks for it and sees Li Hongbing and Uncle Yandai sneaking around the tiger.

"Father, what are you doing with Master Yandai!" Anna asked curiously.

Li Hongbing didn't even raise his head, "Make teeth for the tiger."

Wow!
Anna ran into the warehouse in surprise, her big eyes shining brightly, staring at the mud embryo in Uncle Tobacco's hand.

"Hong Soldier, what kind of iron are you going to use to make the tiger's teeth? If it's ordinary pig iron, it will rust within a few days."

Hearing what Uncle Yandai said, Li Hongbing was stunned, only thinking about making teeth for the tiger, forgetting what material to use.

Sudden.

Li Hongbing's eyes lit up, thinking that there was something absolutely suitable at home, he turned his head to look at Shan Xing standing at the door.

"Myolie, where did you put the things we fished in Moon Bay last time!"

"Just put it in the warehouse!" Shan Xing thought for a while, then walked into the wooden shelf where tools were stored in the warehouse, pointed to a plastic bag, "No, it's here."

Li Hongbing looked around.

The piece of dog head gold was casually packed in a broken plastic bag and placed on Mujia Mountain.

What a big heart!

The dog's head gold weighing more than ten catties is placed on the shelf, so it is not afraid of being stolen.

But looking back, there are wolves and tigers in the house, and most people really dare not do it.

He took the plastic bag from the wooden stand and put it in front of Uncle Cigarette, "Uncle, do you think this is okay?"

Uncle Cigarette opened the bag casually, and a golden light flashed.

Seeing its full view, even an old man like Uncle Yandai, who has reached the age of ears, couldn't help but gasp.

This stone weighed more than ten kilograms, and it was golden in color, but not as bright as gold. Although it was relatively round all over, it had small pits like honeycombs on the surface, one big and the other small like a dog's head.

Dog head gold!
"You're going to Moon Bay." Uncle Yandai's face changed, and he looked up at Li Hongbing.

"The last time I took Anna to Wuya Ridge to play, and after playing in the water for a while, I fished out this thing." Li Hongbing looked pale, "Can it be used?"

"It seems that the gold mine is not small!"

Uncle Yandai shook his head. If he was 20 years younger, he would fight for anything, but now he is [-]. He can't eat, drink, or use anything. He looks down on everything.

"It can be used, but gold is soft and not suitable for teeth. Do you have a stainless steel basin at home?"

"Yes! How many do you want!"

"One is enough." Uncle Yandai muttered to himself as his eyes fell on the piece of dog's head gold.

"A tooth weighs two taels, gold is one tael and six, and stainless steel is six coins, so that the hardness can be guaranteed."

"Four teeth need six or two four gold, and the rest of the braces don't need gold, and stainless steel can save some money."

When Li Hongbing heard this, he quickly interjected, "Don't, if you want to use gold, use all gold. Tigers with big gold teeth usually bring pie."

spendthrift!
Make a golden tooth for the tiger!
Uncle Yandai expressed his incomprehension, but the gold belongs to other people, and he said by the way, whether he is willing or not is his business.

"Let's go back to the blacksmith shop. It's been idle for a long time, and I don't know if it can be used."

Uncle Yandai took the mud embryo, got up and hammered his waist, and motioned Li Hongbing to take the Goutoujin with him.

The big lazy makes the little lazy, the little lazy makes the threshold, the threshold makes the land, and the land sits and shouts.

Li Hongbing left the porter's job to Sha Wa.

"Silly baby, hug me and go out with me."

Leave the warehouse.

Li Hongbing told Shan Xing that he didn't have to wait for dinner, and then walked towards the courtyard gate three times.

while walking!

There is a little tail behind him!

"Where are you going?"

Anna showed a flattering smile, "Dad, I want to do the dental work with you."

"Did you catch the patient's medicine? Have you finished your homework? Sister Nannan doesn't live in our house, who will do your homework for you? School starts tomorrow."

The soul asked three times, and directly fixed Anna in place, her expression slowly changed from happy to depressed.

Just remembered.

After playing for two days during the holiday, the homework assigned by the school was still thrown in the schoolbag, without a single word being moved.

"Da Hua will follow me, and the others will stay at home."

Li Hongbing left Anna in a daze, rode on the three jumpers arrogantly, and swaggered out of the courtyard.

As the sun sets in the west, a round of red sun slowly moves down, and the red light shines on the sky and the earth, reflecting the sky and the village red.
After the hustle and bustle of the day, light blue smoke rose from Caogou Village, and the smell of rice and rapeseed wafted in the wind.

Sanbangzi drove to the village.

If it wasn't for Uncle Yandai's guidance, Li Hongbing would have almost forgotten the location of the blacksmith shop.

"Uncle, it's still there!" Looking at the blacksmith shop in front of him, Li Hongbing's childhood memories were highlighted.

I remember that when it disappeared, the blacksmith shop was always very lively, with villagers coming in and out in an endless stream.

Uncle Yandai is always busy, repairing various utensils while teaching his apprentices blacksmithing skills.

"Uncle, where are the apprentices you took in before? I remember you took several of them."

Uncle Yandai looked at the blacksmith shop that had entered his twilight years like himself, and heaved a long sigh, revealing a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

"It broke up 20 years ago."

As he spoke, Uncle Tobacco walked down the stairs three times, and walked straight to the wooden door blackened by smoke, his slender back looked lonely.

He took out a key from the door, opened the rusty lock, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Come in, the room is dark, don't meet each other."

Li Hongbing and Shawa followed behind into the blacksmith shop, feeling dizzy from the strong smell of burning coal.

It has been abandoned for 20 years, and there is still such a strong smell of burning coal.

The room was dark, and even the walls were black with soot.

A kerosene lamp was lit.

Li Hongbing looked around. There was a black and heavy anvil, a stove for calcining billets of iron, a large hand-pulled bellows at the junction of the stove, and coal piled in the corner.

"Stop standing, come and work." Uncle Yandai struggled to drag a basket of coal.

Seeing this, Sha Wa quickly stepped forward to take the basket, lifted it up easily, and put it next to the stove.

"Idiot with such strength, it's a pity not to strike iron!" Uncle Yandai shook his head regretfully.

"You accept him as your apprentice." Li Hongbing replied with a smile.

"Old man, I can't teach anymore." Cigarette waved his hand, walked to the stove and sat down, put the firewood into the hearth, took out a dark bottle from nowhere, and poured the black water in it into the hearth.

Smell.

Li Hongbing guessed that it should be a combustion aid such as kerosene.

Snapped!
A little spark was ignited, and in an instant the furnace ignited a raging fire.

"Silly boy, you shovel the coal into the furnace." Uncle Yandai got up and walked to the table full of sundries to search for materials.

A shovel of coal was fed into the furnace, and the flames in the furnace danced happily, jumping and rising high and high, reflecting the abandoned blacksmith shop red.

"Old man, are you useless or not!" Uncle Yandai, who found the material, patted the old bellows next to the stove.

Bang bang bang!
The bellows made a dull sound.

It seems to be responding to Uncle Cigarette.

Old guy, as long as you don't die, I'm fine.

Uncle Tobacco Pulled up the handle, pulled it out hard, pulled it to the maximum distance, and then pushed it in hard.

Whoohoo!
The dancing flames in the stove, as if encouraged, spew sparks out along the furnace channel.

If you stand outside the blacksmith shop, you can see the red light and shadow coming from the chimney.

Pulled a few times.

Uncle Yandai shook his head angrily, "I'm so old, I can't move anymore. When I was young, I could pull for a long time without panting."

"Okay, let the idiot pull it, and the old arms and legs are not afraid of being broken."

Li Hongbing very openly handed over the important task of pulling the bellows to the silly boy. As for himself, it is good to be a spectator.

With Shawa taking over the bellows.

The lever was like a toy in his hand, fast and furious.

Driven by the wind, the flame passed through the flue and rushed out of the chimney, like a bright torch in the dusk.

Shout out to Caogou Village.

You are awake, so is I! !
