Chapter 121 Little Sword
Chapter 121 The Little Sword
The blacksmith seemed to find the organization, with a happy face and said, "Okay, brother, I can't bear to give up my love, so I'll make you a friend, seven taels, seven taels, and I'll have to visit the shop more in the future."
He Tianshu smiled and said, "That's natural. I have a group of brothers there. If I take it back and they have something they like, I will definitely bring them over. However, the boss will give me a discount at that time."
The blacksmith also smiled and said, "No problem, I'm familiar with each other again, and it's naturally beneficial to become a repeat customer."
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua pulled the corner of He Tianshu's clothes. He Tianshu turned around and looked at the small sword that Zhang Xiaohua was holding and said to the blacksmith: "I, the little brother, like this little sword very much. Why don't you let him pick it up and play with it?"
The blacksmith didn't care, and waved his hand and said, "No problem. I just said this toy. I just thought it was for me to send it to my little brother. I'd just bring a few more people to visit the other day."
Everyone was very happy. He Tianshu paid the money and asked Ming about his way back to the inn, and then he took Zhang Xiaohua out of the weapon shop.
He Tianshu was very happy along the way. He found a very good sword at such a cheap price, which was much better than going to the forest to practice. It seems that it would be better to go out for more walks in the future.
Zhang Xiaohua was also very happy. She held the small sword in her left hand and kept waving it, as if her arm had suddenly grown. However, he did not notice that it was indeed too late at this time, and there were no figures on the street. As he walked, Zhang Xiaohua felt sleepy and couldn't help but close her eyes, lying softly on the ground, holding the small sword tightly in her hand.
He Tianshu was even more funny. He looked at his sword in love all the way. After walking for a while, he found that there was no footsteps of Zhang Xiaohua behind him. When he looked back, he could not find a figure.
He Tianshu couldn't help but feel anxious, and cold sweat came out from his forehead. Where did the masters come from plundering people from his side, but they didn't even arouse their own perception. Is there any master in the world?
When He Tianshu came with a sword, he saw Zhang Xiaohua lying on the ground motionless from afar. He felt even more nervous and cautious. Seeing that there was no movement around him, he felt a little sad after walking forward these few steps. This child was still fine just now. In a blink of an eye, he ended up like this without paying attention. How could he explain to his brother?
When he arrived, he checked carefully, but did not find that he was injured on his body. He couldn't help but think: "Is this the legendary hole-punching from the air? Is it a fatal hole-punching?"
Just as he was nervous, a very familiar sound suddenly came from Zhang Xiaohua's nose. He Tianshu couldn't help but laugh and cry. He was worried for a long time. This guy turned out to be asleep!
But after He Tianshu stepped forward and kicked Zhang Xiaohua a few times, He Tianshu was worried and couldn't wake up even if he kicked him. Should he have to carry him back?
The next morning, the sun rose from the horizon. Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes as usual and looked at the unfamiliar environment around her. Then she remembered that she was not in the familiar hut.
Then I realized that my left hand was still holding something firmly. When I picked it up, it turned out to be a small toy sword. I remembered the situation last night, but I didn’t know how I came back. It was really strange?
Looking at He Tianshu who was still asleep on the kang opposite, Zhang Xiaohua quietly got off the ground, holding the small sword in her hand.
When I walked out of the house, it was already bright outside, but it was still early, and no one stood up. Only two disciples of the Piaomiao Sect stood in a hidden corner, guarding loyally with their duties. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua leaving the house, she ignored her and still observed the surroundings vigilantly.
Zhang Xiaohua walked to the middle of the yard and looked at the small sword in her hand carefully. The lights in the club were dim last night and she didn't look carefully. Now when she looked, she found that it was just a toy. The sword body was not long, about four or five inches long, two fingers wide, and the hilt was very small. Zhang Xiaohua held the small hand, which was just right. The whole sword was black all over, and it seemed to be made of only one kind of metal. It was cold to buy it. It was not warm because of the long time I took it. The black sword body could not be seen inside, but Zhang Xiaohua obviously felt that there seemed to be blood in the sword, and the blade was useless to open. It felt dull and dull to touch. If it weren't for the heavy holding, Zhang Xiaohua would really think this toy for children to play with.
Zhang Xiaohua's left hand is very strong, and the weight of the small sword is negligible. He waved the small sword left and right, feeling very comfortable, and he couldn't help but think, if he used this small sword as a sword and practiced sword skills, wouldn't it be better than using branches every day?
Thinking of the sword move, Zhang Xiaohua's hands couldn't help but itch. She practiced the sword technique in the morning yesterday, but she didn't practice it at noon and evening. Now she has another toy that is as strong as a branch, so of course she wants to show her skills.
In fact, the open space in this yard is quite large, so you can practice boxing and swords. However, how could Zhang Xiaohua let others see his boxing skills behind closed doors? So, he left the yard.
The inn is located at the end of a street, next to it is a small river and a small bridge. Zhang Xiaohua walked to the river and looked along the river. Just behind the inn is a pond. Opposite the pond is like Zhang Xiaohua's home in Guozhuang. There is a small bamboo forest. When Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up, he walked towards the bamboo forest.
As Zhang Xiaohua thought, there was an open space in the bamboo forest, and no one came here at this moment. Zhang Xiaohua made a move and practiced the Beidou God Fist nine times, allowing the increasingly thicker flow throughout her body, and then she stopped her fist and kick.
Then Zhang Xiaohua looked around carefully and confirmed that there was no one. Then she used the small sword and used the sixteen changes in the sword move. I don’t know whether it was because of the branches or the reason for Zhang Xiaohua’s mood. These sword techniques were easy to use. The nameless warm current must have flowed from somewhere on his shoulder to Zhang Xiaohua’s left hand. In the past, the warm current would disappear when it reached his left hand, but now it has not disappeared. All of them rushed into the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua’s hand. The small sword gradually emitted a black light as Zhang Xiaohua’s waving, but it was very thin and did not attract attention.
Zhang Xiaohua practiced to the end and his sword skills rose. He used his moves to change his movements and stabbed the bamboo as thick as a bowl in front of him. In fact, in Zhang Xiaohua's idea, he could use the branches to pierce a small hole in the big tree. Although the bamboo was hollow, the surface was much harder than the big tree. Even if the branches were replaced, it would be nice to pierce a small hole with the tip of the small sword like a stick. However, the result was much beyond Zhang Xiaohua's expectations. When the sharp sword tip pierced the hard bamboo, the bamboo shell would break like paper. The small sword passed through the bamboo without any obstacles and stabbed out from the other side.
Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and quickly took back the sword and looked at the bamboo in disbelief. However, the hole in the bamboo was still there, and he could not allow him to doubt it. So he went up again and stroked the bamboo carefully until he confirmed that the bamboo was not abnormal and very hard. Then he looked at his left hand and the small sword in his hand again.
When did you become so powerful?
Although Mr. Yu used a long sword to pierce the big tree, he could pierce hard bamboo with this stick-like small sword. Although he was a little worse than Mr. Yu, he was far... far more than others? Zhang Xiaohua dared not think about this. After all, he had never seen others practice swords, nor did he know the power of others using swords. At least, he knew that he was far more than his expectations.
At this time, there was already a noise by the bamboo forest. Zhang Xiaohua quickly came out of the bamboo forest. This was not in the villa. Look at the time. Maybe the people in the villa will pack up and prepare to set off.
When Zhang Xiaohua ran back to the inn quickly, most of the people had already had breakfast and were cleaning up. He Tianshu was also standing there with frown. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua coming in, his brows let go and asked in anger: "Zhang Xiaohua, where did you go early in the morning? Let everyone wait for you?"
Zhang Xiaohua quickly apologized and said, "Captain He, did you say yesterday that Qu Buli's mouth and fist are inseparable? I've gone out to practice boxing early this morning."
He Tianshu looked at the little sword in his hand and felt funny. He knew that he was a child's character. When he got this toy, he must play with it. So he said seriously: "Practicing boxing is a good thing, but it also needs to be divided into occasions. We are going out and we must be careful not to make any trouble. It is better to kick this toy in our arms. Don't hold it in our hands every day to make people laugh. Okay, hurry up and go to dinner. The owner of the manor has finished eating long ago and is ready to set off."
Zhang Xiaohua put the sword in her arms as she spoke, hurriedly had breakfast, simply packed her own things, and got on the carriage.
The four carriages were getting farther and farther away, and the fat boss was still standing there reluctantly. What a great guest, he stayed for one night but had not eaten the inn's meals. He actually gave so much silver. If there were such guests every day, it would be difficult for him to not get rich.
Originally, the fat boss thought that this beautiful memory would be kept in his heart and kept it slowly in the future, but before afternoon, a man in brocade clothes rode a majestic horse to the inn to find out the whereabouts of the group of people yesterday. With the temptation of white and silver, the fat boss couldn't help but recall the wonderful time of yesterday.
When the man in brocade left with satisfaction and moved forward, the fat boss once again praised him, what a good guest official, he can still bring wealth to himself after he has left. I really have to thank his ancestors for being spiritual.
The people in Huanxi Villa naturally didn't know about this, they were still rushing to the road.
However, today is no longer as fresh as yesterday. Even people like Zhang Xiaohua who have not left the house are not very good at seeing the scenery outside. This is a day after leaving Pingyang City. The scenery along the way is not much different from the places where they live. If you see it too much, of course you will get tired of it.
Moreover, the Stone Niu, like a giant diamond, has a really good voice. It is still very loud from yesterday to today. Those lyrics are always lingering in their ears. I guess it was because the inn had drunk very much last night, and his voice was moisturized well. So a few disciples muttered secretly that when you stay in tonight, you must reduce the Stone Niu's wine to make his voice hoarse. The song is nice, but always makes people listen to these sentences, and the days in the future will make people live a difficult life?
Zhang Xiaohua and He Tianshu were sitting in the third carriage, with several disciples next to them, and several of them were chatting about something. However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't care. He played with the small sword in his left hand and held a book in his right hand, looking at it with relish.
Zhang Xiaohua's right hand has not fully recovered. From the outside, it looks similar to when he first returned to the villa, but Zhang Xiaohua himself knew very well that his right hand was not as Yu Lao said. His bones and meridians were destroyed by internal force and could not return to normal state. He could feel that his hand was recovering at a perceptible speed. Moreover, many times now, he always tried to use his right hand intentionally or unintentionally. He believed that one day, he would give everyone an unexpected surprise.
He Tianshu sat in the innermost part of the carriage, closing his eyes to rest, holding a book in his hand, probably thinking about something, but soon after, he smiled and opened his eyes. He looked up at the scene outside the window and frowned. Although it was a distance from the stone ox, the singing was quite far away, and he could hear it clearly.
When his eyes fell on Zhang Xiaohua, he couldn't help but smile. He looked at the little sword in Zhang Xiaohua's left hand and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiaohua, this toy is good, it seems that you like it very much."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua put down the book, looked at the small sword in her hand, and said sincerely: "Yes, Captain He, I really like this small sword. Thank you for giving it to me."
He Tianshu waved his hand and said, "Actually, I didn't spend a single silver liang, it's just a gift. I can't use it, so I'll naturally play with it. Fortunately, this toy has no blade and is not afraid of hurting you."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Then didn't you buy a sword? I think you already have one, why do you have to buy it again?"
He Tianshu smiled and said, "My original sword is not a famous tool, it is just a common low-value consumable product. It needs to be replaced every once in a while. I think the steel sword in the store is well made. In Pingyang City, it will have to be sold for fifteen taels of silver. I will take the seven taels of silver, which is of course a good deal. Moreover, the owner also buys one free one. Although the gift is a toy, it also makes me feel comfortable, so you don't have to thank me specifically."
But I didn't know that in the small town in the distance, the blacksmith came to the pork shop with a proud look, threw a few coins of silver to the butcher generously, and shouted: "Lao Liu, give you the money you had credited a few days ago, and give me a few more water. Hurry up, I have to go to the wine shop to sell wine."
The butcher said in surprise: "Old Tie, how could he be so generous today? But he opened it?"
The blacksmith said proudly: "I came from somewhere yesterday and paid seven taels of silver to buy a steel sword. Do you think I am lucky?"
The butcher twitched his tongue and said, "It's really a sucker. No one wants your steel sword every day, but you're so scared of a good price."
As he said that, he did not delay and prepared food for the blacksmith.
Then, the blacksmith seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, the little thing your mistress picked up on the mountain the next year ago, I asked me to give it to that person yesterday. I spent the same day with you. If I could sell it, I would give you money, but I would buy one and get one free, and it would be worth five cents."
But the butcher was not very happy and said, "The customer must have paid a lot of money to buy your steel sword because you gave me something. Why did you send me five cents?"
The blacksmith said angrily: "Your mistress picked up the toy. No one has paid attention to it for three years. If you don't want this five cent, I will catch up with the customer and get it back."
The butcher smiled and said, "That five cents is too little, so you have to add some more."
The blacksmith laughed and scolded, "I knew you had this idea and gave you fifteen ounces. It's worthy of your mistress going to the mountain."
After saying that, he took a handful of copper coins from his arms and placed them on the meat table.
The butcher used lightning speed to hold up the copper coins and smiled and said, "They were picked up by everyone, and the money was also in vain. I will pick up the things I picked up again and ask you to sell them."
The blacksmith waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I'd better find a pawnshop. That little thing has been in my store for three years. I don't want to cause trouble anymore. Come on the water quickly. I'll go to buy wine. Today is a good weather, and it's just a day when I'm drunk."
The blacksmith took the meat and hurriedly left, and the butcher also did his business.
However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know that the little sword she loved was worth only fifteen cents.
Zhang Xiaohua still thanked He Tianshu very much and said, "Captain He, I won't say much if I thank you. If you have any problems in the future, just give me instructions."
He Tianshu smiled, holding up the books in his hand and swayed slightly. Zhang Xiaohua understood and laughed "hehe" and stopped talking.
After a while, He Tianshu said again: "Zhang Xiaohua, why did you sleep on the street last night?"
Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise: "Really? Captain He, I have always wanted to ask you. When I woke up in the morning, I only remembered what happened in the weapon store, and I knew nothing about it later. It turned out that I was sleeping on the street."
He Tianshu smiled and said, "Yes, you were walking behind me, but I suddenly disappeared from your people. I was shocked. When I turned around and found that you were lying on the ground and fell asleep. Don't you know?"
Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly: "I really don't know, Captain He, my brother said I couldn't wake up when I was sleeping, but I never said I would fall asleep suddenly, and I have never been out so late."
He Tianshu frowned and said, "This is a problem. I don't know if you fall asleep every day, otherwise it would be a troublesome thing."
Zhang Xiaohua said strangely: "Why are you troublesome?"
He Tianshu explained: "Zhong is the time when yin and yang alternate. Many internal skills and mental methods require practice in the middle. If you do this, how can you practice these internal skills?"
Zhang Xiaohua said anxiously: "Oh, what can I do?"
He Tianshu smiled and said, "There are no need to be so anxious. There are still many internal strength that do not require practice at that time. Let's talk about it when you find the opportunity and can practice internal strength."
