Chapter 6 Short Stick VI
Unfortunately, the posture of "sitting cross-legged" is really awkward, and Sulfona seems to be looking for someone to chat to distract herself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info She sat down next to the big sword and called her several times in a row with the big sword but there was no response. Bored, Sulfur had no choice but to take pleasure in observing the greatsword. Yesterday evening and because of the dark weather, Sulfona didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the big sword. But after washing off the stains on her face, Sister Dajian is actually quite beautiful. Sulfur felt that she looked more delicate than her mother, but the corners of Sister Greatsword's eyes were always hanging, her lips were always pursed, and the expression on her face always looked disdainful or sarcastic, which greatly affected Sister Greatsword's beauty. In addition, the strange pattern that I saw on the iron sword of the Great Sword yesterday is also on the clothes of the Great Sword. Sister Dajian's clothes are tight and taut, but the texture is very tough, and some places are wrapped in iron armor.
Sulfona looked at it, and suddenly noticed that Sister Greatsword's head was slightly tilted to the right, and her right leg sitting on the ground was also tilting slightly to the left. Sulfona felt something familiar with the action, so she continued to watch. She realized that the great sword was not really resting, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was fighting against herself. Her head was tilted to the right, her right leg stretched to the left, and her left leg was extended to the right, which felt very similar to the "cross-legged sitting" that Sulfona was doing right now. Seeing this, Sulfur suddenly had an idea: maybe Sister Dajian was doing a deformed "cross-legged sitting" to relieve the pain of the wound.
Thinking of this, Sulfur suddenly felt that it was not good to continue to bother the Great Sword. So she took her father's axe out of the basket and began to chop wood. Sulfur saw that the big sword used "sitting cross-legged" to heal herself, and she also had an idea. She wants to use "chopping branches" to chop firewood. Previously, cutting branches was done from the top down, but cutting trees requires more lateral swings. Sulfona tried to turn her body sideways before using her previous technique. She tried to make a few, but her hands and feet were not always the same. Sometimes the movement is smooth, but only a small hole is cut in the tree. Sometimes Sulfona can cut deep at once, but she has a feeling of twisting her waist.
"You get down on one leg and try it."
The big sword, which had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his mouth. Sulfur was startled and hurriedly did as the big sword asked. Sure enough, after kneeling on one knee, the sides of the body became more flexible. Although the posture is ugly and uncomfortable, the efficiency of cutting down trees is greatly improved. Sulfona chopped for a while, and when she felt tired, she used "cross-legged" to rest. As soon as they went, they quickly cut off a large tree from its roots. Sulfona looked in amazement at the fallen tree, which could have been cut down for a while by even the most powerful young man in town. And Sulfona is young and thin, and it is impossible to cut down such a tree.
"Don't be stupid." Dajian snorted coldly, "It's almost noon, it's time to eat." You come and make a fire. ”
Sulfur answered, but saw the big sword casually break some young leaves from the severed branches on the ground and sprinkle them not far away. Then he sat still on the ground like a stone, motionless. After a while, I saw a few pheasants attracted by the young leaves on the ground. Pheasants are very common here, they are good at running but not good at flying, they like to wander and forage, they are fast running, they have poor high flying ability, they can only fly low distances for short distances and cannot last long. So the young leaves that grow on the tall branches have always been something that pheasants covet but can't get. They probed their heads over, tilted their heads at the young leaves on the ground, and then began to peck carefully.
"Little idiot, you've got me covered."
The big sword twisted a stone from the ground, squeezed it in his hand a few times, then took his hand in his arms, and then threw the stone out of his hand. The first stone hit the pheasant's leg. The pheasant was in pain and began to jump on the ground. The great sword threw a second stone at him, and this time the stone hit the pheasant's back. This time the force on the stone was very strong, and several blue feathers on the back of the pheasant were knocked off. The pheasant ran a few more steps forward before falling to the ground and not moving.
"Go get it, I'll fight you next time."
Sulfona's eyes widened, and she tried to throw stones as she learned the movements of her broadsword. But every time I threw it, I felt that my arm was numb and swollen, and the accuracy of the throw was not very good. After a few attempts, she reluctantly gave up, and hung her head to pick up the pheasant on the ground. The big sword took the pheasant, picked up the big sword beside him, and pulled a hole in the chicken's belly. She stared at the blood-splattered pheasant, hesitated for a long time, and then ate all the bloody entrails in the chicken's belly raw. Sulfona's eyes widened as she watched from the side, she was surprised and strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask.
After eating the chicken's internal organs, Dajian casually threw the chicken to Sulfona and let Sulfur cook it herself. The most important thing about this mountain game is freshness. The pheasant that has just been killed, no matter how you do it, is delicious. Sulfona removed the feathers and roasted them over the fire, and was delighted with the dry food she had brought with her. Dajian scraped the corners of his mouth with chicken blood, sat cross-legged on the ground and didn't know what to think, the chicken and dry food didn't move at all, just drank some water.
Sulfona usually doesn't eat well, and she looks yellow and thin. This time, I almost finished eating the whole chicken, and I was patting my bulging belly. The big sword suddenly opened its mouth.
"I say, little idiot."
"What's wrong? Sister Big Sword? ”
"You should go play with your Mary."
Greatsword clutched the sword in his hand tightly and held his body on crutches. Her face was hidden in the shadow of her hair, and her expression could not be seen clearly. Sulfona didn't notice the greatsword's abnormality, and she looked at the sun.
"It's still early."
"Well, the sooner you go, the more Mary will feel that you are interested in her swordsmanship, and the happier she will be. If she's happy, maybe she'll give you some cheese or pumpkin pie or something......"
Halfway through Greatsword's words, Sulfona's saliva was about to flow out. She carried her belongings on her back and hurried to the place where she had agreed to meet Mary. She came happily, waiting for Mary to praise herself, but she didn't think Mary was already standing alone in the clearing and wielding her sword. Seeing that Sulfura was coming, Mary just nodded and answered, looking really in a bad mood. Seeing her appearance, Sulfur quickly bowed her head and accompanied Mary to practice swords.
Mary had already taught the full set of swordsmanship to Sulfona, and now the two of them are mainly engaged in actual combat and fighting. When Sulfona fought against her, she basically didn't win against Mary. Both children are in their formative years, but Mary is well-nourished and tall and strong, and Sulfur is physically inferior. However, Sulfur also remembered the words of the Great Sword, and paid attention to Mary's swordsmanship, intentionally or unintentionally. Indeed, there were times when Mary used sword moves that Sulfur had never seen before. And as long as these sword moves are used, Sulfur will basically be defeated. Fortunately, Sulfur felt that after cutting down a lot of trees, her strength had increased a lot, and she didn't lose too badly.
Sulfona wanted to ask Mary something during her break. He wondered if Mary had really lied to her as Greatsword had claimed. Who is her real name, and is she Tifa, the lord's daughter? Will she teach herself the subtle sword moves she sometimes uses in the end? But Sulfona was about to open her mouth to Mary, but she swallowed her words again. Because Mary looks bad. Her face, which had been white, was now pale and haggard, and when she wasn't swinging her sword, she always kept her head down, and when she swung her sword, she slashed at Sulfura like a wild beast.
Even Sulfona knew that asking Mary these things now, no matter what the answer was, she and Mary would end up arguing. Sulfona felt that it would be okay if Mary really lied to her. She was originally just a poor child from a peasant family, and it was already a great gift to be able to eat those things that she could not eat in her life, and to learn swordsmanship only by learning knights.
Sulfona tried to ask Mary why she was so agitated, but Mary just bit her lip and didn't speak. Seeing her like this, there was naturally nothing she could do. Sometimes she only hated that she wasn't one of those smart people, who could spit lotus flowers out of her mouth and cut Mary's heart clean like a edamame. It's not that Sulfura didn't want to ask for help, but her affair with Mary was a secret and she couldn't tell anyone else. The only thing she could confide in was the Great Sword, and she looked like a smart person. But after listening to Sulfona's words, Greatsword laughed gloatingly, and did not give Sulfona an idea at all.
It was then that Sulfona remembered that Greatsword hated Mary.
Speaking of which, the great sword has always been strange. Sulfona used to really think that she had really gone to level the potholed road, and that there was really a shoe buyer and a horse-drawn carriage rental looking for her everywhere. But it was only a matter of time for Sulfur to come back to her senses—if it were ordinary people, a great sword would have hacked them to death with a single sword. Besides, there won't be anyone who will bother with a great sword that can hunt demons. In addition, Greatsword sometimes suddenly asked Sulfur to leave, and when Sulfona returned, he didn't know why Greatsword had cut down a tree on the ground again. However, when it was time to build the house, Greatsword deduced that he was injured and had no strength at all. I don't know if she really has no strength, or if she's just lazy and doesn't want to work.
As the days passed, Mary's face deteriorated day by day. Sulfona tried many things, but she couldn't get Mary to confide in her. Frustrated, Sulfur had no choice but to vent all her strength on building a house. The big sword thinks that Sina works slowly, and always asks Sulfur to use those strange postures. Not only are these poses extremely strange to do, but they can also be extremely uncomfortable at times. Fortunately, every time I feel unbearable pain in my body, I can always effectively relieve it by "sitting cross-legged". Sulfona also found that "sitting cross-legged" was effective in relieving her fatigue, so she also changed her sleep to "sitting cross-legged" at night. I was a little uncomfortable for the first few days, but then I felt refreshed. In addition to chopping wood and carrying water to help the family with household chores every day, she has to build her house in the morning and evening under the cynicism of the big sword, and in the afternoon she has to practice swordsmanship with Mary. Rao was like this, but Sulfona didn't feel tired at all. In addition, sometimes Dajian will use the method of "beating pheasants" to beat some game to eat raw offal, and the rest of the meat is all cheap. After half a month, Sulfur is not so thin and small, and even her little face has become shiny.
