The clouds are as color as lead, and the sky is cloudy and snowy.

Refugees are very motivated to train and work, because the amount of food increases a little, and the more people eat, the more they become fuller, and their mental state will naturally improve.

But the emotions of the servants and the police seemed to be affected by the weather. The servants did not smile or excitement on their faces, while the police looked strange, exchanging gestures with each other, and some people were sneering.

Most of their sneering was directed at Fu Yu and Meng Tian. Fu Yu was barely calm, while Meng Tian was impatient and kept talking to Fu Yu, which made Zhu Da, who led the team training, curse him a few words before he was honest.

The convoy arrived a little late today, almost at lunch. In addition to Zhu Da’s own big carts, there were two big carts from the Zhang family’s blacksmith shop, which were loaded with farm tools and tools.

The one who followed these two big trucks was Zhang Dahui. He smiled and delivered the goods. Then he shouted Zhu Da aside, and said in a low voice: "Master Zhu, only ten weapons have been transported this time. Other household items will be sent to you first. The spear tips should be collected slowly. Come and load them up. Master, you know about my family. My father is too focused on it."

Zhu Da agreed after pondering for a moment. He had thought too much. The refugees could not say that they had complete control. There might be a possibility of sending weapons.

Seeing Zhu Da agreeing, Zhang Dachu smiled and first gave the wooden pole and then followed the spear tip to cause trouble for Zhu Da. If Zhu Da was unwilling to do this, he would not be able to explain any reason.

Chang Kai and Chang Shen were delivering supplies there. Although it was his own family and his brothers' planning, they were meticulous. Fu Yu and Wang Jing were recording and counting the books there. The bruises on Wang Jing's face should have faded a little, but at a glance, they couldn't tell. The crowd was very conspicuous, and the young police kept pointing and pointing.

After counting the farm tools and tools, Zhu Da arranged for someone to give the money. Zhang Dachui repeatedly claimed thanks. Chang Kai waved his hand on the other side and saw Chang Kai standing in the corner. He must have something to say in private. Zhu Da was about to step forward, but Zhang Dachui, who had collected the money, hurried forward to stop him and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, in addition to ten spears, the young man also created a long soldier to give him to him. Please take a look at it."

These words made Zhu Da interested, and waved his hand to Chang Kai and so on. Zhang Dachui picked up the long soldier from the side of the carriage, and was just blocked by farm tools and weapons, so he didn't notice it at all.

When he saw this long soldier, Zhu Da narrowed his eyes. It was not surprising. It should be a combination of a spear and an axe, but it was not just an axe. The other end of the axe blade was a downward hook. The spear blade was built as Zhu Da required, but the axe was only one and a half feet long. However, the axe and the hook were only two palm-sized accessories, and it looked like it was an accessories for a spear blade. The spear blade was in a normal shape, but the spear rod was only seven and a half feet long, which was about five feet shorter than the spear sent this time.

Zhang Dahui brought it over with both hands. Zhu Da reached out to take it. The spear rod was engraved with patterns to prevent the hand from slipping, but the polishing was smooth and there were no short thorns or anything else.

"Is this Xuanhua Axe?" Zhu Da asked hesitantly. When Yuan Biao was teaching martial arts, he had drawn various weapons to identify them and told them about how to deal with them. Both Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun remembered them very well.

"...Weapons change in a variety of ways, nothing more than spears, swords, sticks, and whip. If you understand these things, the others will be understood..." This is Yuan Biao's original words.

But Zhu Da’s impression of this weapon was not because of Yuan Biao’s words, but because of the familiarity of the weapon. In the memory of more than 20 years, I have seen the shape of the “Xuanhua Axe” many times. Interestingly, they were all seen on relevant information abroad. There were many warriors who used this “Xuanhua Axe” in the Middle Ages abroad. As for the “Xuanhua Axe” in China, I have also seen it in the memory of more than 20 years. But they are all axes like fans or large fans. After practicing martial arts for more than ten years, they realized that such a large long-handled axe could not be used at all because it was heavy and light, so they could not control it well.

Most of the albums in those days had exaggerated elements, and there were few real military-related contacts. I don’t know what the real "Xuanhua Axe" looks like. The one in front of me should be what it is. As for the similar appearance to Western weapons, I can’t tell who was circulated to whom. I can only say that the shape of the weapons that have been passed down through the battlefield and life and death verification, and they are all for fighting and killing, and they will inevitably lead to the same end.

After taking the "Xuanhua Axe", Zhu Da pulled his posture and gestured a few times. The weapon was well done in the center of gravity and balance. He was very good at holding it in his hand. He was very good at handling it. He had never learned the "Xuanhua Axe". He was just used according to a spear. When it was available, he could naturally figure out the uses of the axe and the hook. Adding this attachment means that he could chop and smash, and he could also have power.

"This is good. First make for forty knives and make them with care. The price is easy to say." Zhu Da was very satisfied with this weapon. The spear is the simplest and easy to learn weapon. It is the most effective for people without any foundation. But it cannot be just a spear. Attack and defense need to be changed. It is not impossible for Pu Dao, but it requires a long time of training to be proficient. The "Xuanhua Axe" in front of him is relatively suitable.

After receiving Zhu Da’s reply, Zhang Dahui’s smile almost overflowed. Anyone could see his heartfelt joy. Zhang Dahui rubbed his hands and nodded and said, “Please rest assured, the little one must have made it with care. The little one has been thinking about what weapons the master should use for. He originally wanted to build a good knife, but he thought that the master had ordered so many spears to create this one.”

Hearing this, Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and patted Zhang Dachu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I have changed my mind about opening a blacksmith shop together. If you want to work with me, I will make a profit of one or nine."

Zhang Dachui didn't expect that Zhu Da would say this. How could he distribute such a way to do business in partnership? Isn't this just spending capital to make money? Master Zhu suddenly said this, wasn't he crazy?

"It's not possible, it's not possible." Zhang Dachui didn't know why Zhu Da was so happy.

Zhu Da needed this "Xuanhua Axe" and only figured it out after getting the weapon, but Zhang Dachui figured it out in advance by analyzing Zhu Da's conditions and needs. This idea is too critical for Zhu Da. It can be said that Zhang Dachui's weapon reflects the "engineer" thinking. Such a person is exactly what Zhu Da needs.

There are inconveniences in Zhang Dahui, and the person who jointly set up a blacksmith shop was not in a hurry. Zhu Da said that and did not persuade him again. At present, Zhang Dahui has not delayed his needs, and it is also good to maintain the status quo.

Everyone around them noticed Zhu Da's excitement and joy, but everyone was very confused and didn't know why they became excited, but they saw that the sledgehammer didn't take out any rare things.

Chang Kai didn't wait there. Seeing that there was no one on Zhu Da's side, Zhang Dachui walked over after leaving, coughed twice and said, "Brother Zhu, have you thought about the matter of Widow Zhou?"

"Since it's useful, I'll take it in. Of course I've thought about it." Zhu Da replied with some confusion.

Chang Kai stomped his feet, then coughed dryly and said, "Brother Zhu, I thought it was simple yesterday. That woman's reputation in the city is really bad. As soon as I mentioned it to Lao Li, the entire yamen spread all over the country. In less than an hour, the whole Huairen County spread all over the country. Your sister-in-law made a big fuss about me. Brother Zhu, you are still young, if you can't stand it, let's find a few good daughters to serve you. Why bother to find this woman who has been doing a few tricks? If you really want to get it over, your reputation will be really bad."

These words made Zhu Da laugh and cry, and looked at Chang Kai helplessly and said, "Have you explained this joint clearly before? I want craftsmanship, not body, why are you talking about it now?"

"Brother Zhu, that's a widow... still a young and beautiful widow..." Chang Kai persuaded with great thoughts, but he had to be frank when he persuaded, for fear of showing something wrong.

In this era, the situation of widows is often miserable, but the word "widow" has a very strong peach meaning. Every man always thinks about this word and thinks a lot, and it is even more so after adding the two words "not obeying the wife" and "young and beautiful".

The reason why Zhu Da was helpless was that he knew that Chang Kai was sincerely considering him and wanted to maintain his reputation. After thinking about it, he said in a muffled voice: "Take someone up. If you are worried, find an old lady to live with her alone. When I met her, I would like to talk through the curtain. I must have someone."

Seeing Zhu Da talking harshly, Chang Kai didn't dare to fight anymore, but just whispered a few words there, looking like an elder who hated him for not fighting.

"I'm in a hurry to see you in the afternoon." Zhu Da followed again, and Chang Kai was stunned for a moment, shook his head and sighed.

......

The village is not far from the city. Since Zhu Da was urging him so quickly, Chang Kai hurried back to the city to pick up people after unloading the goods. The news that inspector Zhang beat Zhu Da’s servants had spread throughout Huairen County, but no one dared to make trouble in this city. Zhu Da’s request was still unobstructed, and everyone was just muttering to himself.

When it was almost dark, Chang Kai brought people to the farm, but in addition to Chang Kai, there was also a big cart and a donkey. The cart was filled with Chang Kai's wife and two children. An old man followed behind him with a donkey, and there was a woman with a face covering on the donkey's back.

"Brother Zhu, your sister-in-law is worried and she has to follow her." Chang Kai explained with a dry smile. Zhu Da could understand. He took the widow out of the city before dark, and maybe he had to spend the night outside the city. This is really suspicious.
