Chapter 19: The Giant Ugly Mahogany Sword

In advance, Zhou Xiaoliu had no impression of the specific day when his parents went south in his previous life, and only vaguely remembered that day, he didn't know why he was thrown a small stone by someone, and he had a headache all day.

Before going to bed, he still called the old man a few times, and after waiting for a few minutes without getting a response, Zhou Xiaoliu closed his eyes and went to sleep.

……

At six o'clock in the morning, as soon as Zhou Xiaoliu got out of the door, he saw the third aunt poking her head out of the room with a smile on her face and beckoning to her. Last night, the third aunt took a pair of children and didn't leave to come back until dinner. Her mother's house is far away, and when she arrives home, the night is dark, and Zhou Xiaoliu's family, who have always gone to bed early and gets up early, have already fallen asleep.

When Zhou Xiaoliu came to the door of the third aunt, the third aunt turned around and picked up four pieces of peach wood the size of bricks and three coins behind the door, and handed them to her: "Take it to the young master of the Jin family, you tell him, this is what my brother specially sawed out for him, just a few pieces of it took a lot of effort, ask him what other wood he wants, and he doesn't need to take two catties of sugar in exchange, just one and a half catties of it......

And just now, Zhou Xiaoliu ate breakfast, hugged the wood, and just went out to go to Uncle Qingsong's house, the third aunt pulled her to say this again, for fear that she would forget it because she was too young to remember.

Looking at the appearance of the wood, Zhou Xiaoliu thought to himself: It is estimated that this is the material that the third aunt's brother is preparing to use in the cabinet drawer, maybe the third aunt didn't tell anyone, so she brought it easily.

Looking at the third aunt's extremely careful and serious advice, Zhou Xiaoliu couldn't bear to tell her that "there is no next time, Jin Hong will leave the day after tomorrow", it was too cruel!

Zhou Xiaoliu held four pieces of peach wood and came to Jin Hong's room. Jin Hong has prepared a small saw. Not only that, but there are also two sandpapers on the table.

Half an hour passed.

Zhou Xiaoliu had already sawed off the third piece of peach wood under Jin Hong's expectant gaze, she stacked the "corpses" of these three pieces of wood in one place, and Jin Hong handed over the last piece: "It's okay, there's another piece!"

Zhou Xiaoliu took it silently, but did not do it again. Although she was good at cooking, she clearly overestimated her ability to do carpentry. She took a deep breath, then took the small saw and began to gently "dismember" the fourth piece of wood.

"Click, click, click......"

"Click, click......"

"Click!"

It's broken again!

Zhou Xiaoliu and Jin Hong, who lowered their heads and stared at the broken wood, looked up at each other at the same time, Jin Hong's mouth was open round, and there was this kind of breaking method?

Zhou Xiaoliu looked at Jin Hong embarrassedly: "If I knew earlier, I would have asked Uncle Tao to make it look like a wooden sword, and I would just draw runes......

"But I prefer you to do it yourself. Jin Hong insisted.

Zhou Xiaoliu spread out his hands and looked at the ten flat red fingers, the key is, sister, I am a handicap in carpentry, little friend!

Under Jin Hong's repeated insistence, the helpless Zhou Xiaoliu had to barely find two rectangular ones, one long and one short, among the dismembered wooden corpses, and found small nails and small hammers to nail them together. As for the sandpaper, she didn't dare to grind it anymore, what if she accidentally broke it again?

She looked at the stick figure version of the peachwood sword, resisted the urge to throw it out, and handed it to Jin Hong: "Do you want this one?" Originally, in her imagination, this sword should at least be made into an oil painting version.

But seeing Jin Hong take over the miserable and burred wooden sword, with a look of "I like it so much, I like it so much, as long as you do it, I like it", Zhou Xiaoliu also studied ink and brushed the sword, and drew the rune that he had refined countless times on the sword.

Zhou Xiaoliu glanced at this finished peachwood sword again, well, with her brushstrokes of different thicknesses, it was a huge ugly! Fortunately, the rune was waved with a wave, at least it was effective.

"Promise me, don't tell anyone, I did this!" Zhou Xiaoliu thought, if it weren't for Jin Hong's departure the day after tomorrow, and Baihu recycled its food bag, she would definitely throw this thing out immediately. Just imagine, Jin Hong met the evil ghost, and then pulled out the peachwood sword, the evil ghost was not scared to death, so he died laughing first......

The picture is so beautiful!

"Well, I will definitely not tell anyone that you gave me this peachwood sword," Jin Hong nodded with a serious face, "Not only that, but you can see ghosts, you can draw talismans, and you have a fat cat, I will definitely keep my mouth shut, even if I talk in my dreams." ”

He thought, these secrets, Zhou Xiaoliu has only told himself alone, not even her family, she must have hidden it very hard, too, even if she has a family to take care of her, but she will be very hurt if she feels the strange eyes of others, according to his understanding in the past few days, Zhou Xiaoliu is not favored at home at all, once it is leaked, she will be more hurt than herself.

Although Zhou Xiaoliu felt that it was not credible to be able to control her dream words, she still nodded, Jin Hong only needed to do the first half of what he said.

Zhou Xiaoliu, who had practiced the cloud technique for an afternoon, could hang two feet in the air, and she was satisfied with her work, at this rate, she couldn't stand in the center of the universe and call for love in her lifetime, but standing on the moon to learn Marshal Tianpeng shouting Chang'e, it is estimated that she can still do it.

After eating dinner and saying goodbye to Jin Hong, who was hanging at the height of the beam, Zhou Xiaoliu went home, and as soon as she got home, she heard the news that Zhou's father and Zhou's mother decided to go south to work the day after tomorrow.

When her brother Zhou Peng heard that his parents were going to leave him at home with his grandparents, he immediately started crying, Zhou Xiaoliu looked at him quietly, and a sense of sadness rose in his heart.

Crying behind her parents who are going south is not only this kind of thing, she has also done it in her previous life. No matter how much you experience this kind of thing, you can't be normal, and you will have a sense of sadness.

Of course, if it's your enemies or creditors who are leaving, then you should hurry up and buy a string of firecrackers and light them.

Probably because Zhou Xiaoliu was a little embarrassed, or maybe he knew that he couldn't change his parents' decision if he cried, Zhou Peng wiped away his tears and snorted, and then whoever talked to him, he didn't say a word anymore.

Seeing him like this, Zhou's mother took out a hand holding Zhou Cheng and took Zhou Peng over, and she burst into tears.

Zhou Xiaoliu was thinking about whether to go over too, and when she leaned on Zhou's mother's shoulder to wipe two handfuls of tears and express her reluctance, Zhou's mother looked at her.

Zhou's mother looked at her standing to the side in a daze, and thought: Even if she seemed to be a little sensible a few days ago, Xiaoliu was just a six-year-old child, and she was leaving, she didn't even shed a single tear, and probably didn't know what separation was.

Thinking of separation, and then looking at her own string of children, Zhou's mother is really relieved. But where do you go to earn so much money to support them in the village?

Zhou Xiaoliu was not embarrassed to step forward, she stood in place and thought that after Zhou's father and Zhou's mother went south to work, she would become a left-behind child.

She recalled that for the next period of time, she was much freer in general, except that she still couldn't eat. When my brother and sister go to school, it is impossible for my grandparents to take care of me carefully. The old man, who has not been able to contact him for the past few days, once said that he would take himself for a spin when the time comes.

She couldn't stop wondering, would she be able to see groups of ghosts when the time came?
