CHAPTER XXVII
Old Lu taught Yin Zhen about gun knowledge, and soon Julia also knew. She told Yin Zhen that Lao Lu not only hid a lot of guns, but also a lot of knives.
That afternoon, while Lao Lu was going out, Julia brought Yin Zhen into the room, and she showed Yin Zhen the knives that Lao Lu had collected.
Some of them are short knives like red color, but there are two very long knives in them.
"This is a Japanese sword, you should have seen it on TV." As she spoke, Julia pulled out one and gestured, "Well, it's like this." β
The scabbard is very gorgeous and beautiful, the workmanship is fine, and the blade is engraved with more than a dozen chrysanthemums near the handle.
Julia took the knife, grabbed it with both hands, and then slashed it out of thin air: "Juyi is the Sect." β
Yin Zhen didn't remember such a long name, he asked curiously, "What is Ju?" β
Julia laughed: "Lying to you, how can it be Juyi's text?" It's just that I like to call it that. β
"Where did this knife come from?" Yin Zhen asked.
"It's a work of art that people put on display in a shopping mall." Julia said, "I've been thinking about it for most of the month, and I've been going to see it every day. The price tag for these knives is so high that I don't have the money to buy them. Soon after, the riots broke out, and the mall was full of looters, so I went and got all the knives as soon as possible. β
Yin Zhen took the knife and tried it, but he didn't seem to think it was very good.
"I ...... I'm not used to holding a knife in both hands. He said.
"Well, I wasn't used to it at first. But there is an advantage to this kind of knife. It is lightweight, weighing only 4 pounds, and it is slender and sharp, which is exactly the weapon for decapitation. Julia explained, "Ah Zhen, you have to remember, try not to choose a knife with a blood groove, that can only deal with living people, the most convenient is to deal with wild beasts, so last time I gave you that red color, in fact, I didn't expect to meet zombies." Once the blood gauge gets stuck in the zombie's bones, your knife can't be pulled out, which is too dangerous. β
Yin Zhen accepted the advice, so he decided to try his hand with this kind of sword.
He followed Julia's example and waved it twice.
Julia looked at him and suddenly smiled: "It's like learning." Two years younger, you can play Soji Okita. β
"Who is Soji Okita?"
"The new selection group.,A beautiful boy with outstanding kendo.γ
"Did you only grab the knife at the time?" Yin Zhen asked again.
Julia nodded: "At that time, everyone went to grab gold and silver jewelry, or they went to grab brand-name clothing, in fact, I also took a fancy to a Cartier jewelry." However, at that time, the mall was in a mess, and it was estimated that it would not be able to get it. Several people were killed in the supermarket, for a bucket of milk...... As for me, I only went and grabbed four knives. Now that I think about it, it is a wise move, in these troubled times, what is the use of jewelry? β
"Four? And what about the remaining two? β
"Cut each other, cut off two. Lao Lu said that we have to test its toughness first, this kind of display goods, if it is not good, it will be a showcase, and the inferior products must be eliminated first. β
Yin Zhen silently looked at the Japanese knife in his hand, and he suddenly said, "You didn't tell Lao Lu, just show me his knife, is this good?" β
"It's okay." Julia said, "Can't you see it?" Lao Lu trusts you quite a lot. The guns are all shown to you, and the knives can be seen too. β
Then, Yin Zhen began to practice the knife diligently every day.
He used the sword that Julia gave him: the so-called "Juyi Writing Zezong". At noon, when everything was done, Yin Zhen would take the knife to the courtyard and seriously practice the chopping and slashing movements. They can't rely too much on guns/weapons, bullets will always run out one day, and the sound of guns is a fatal drawback, or it is more reliable to master cold weapons.
Yin Zhen didn't know how to use a knife, but he had never used such a slender knife, so he hoped to become a mature hand as soon as possible.
Sometimes, Julia and Lao Lu stood on the windowsill on the second floor, watching the men in the courtyard meticulously practicing knives, and they couldn't help but feel emotional.
"That's what hard work is." Lao Lu praised, "Julia, you should learn from others." β
Julia snorted: "Dad, this is a personality problem, I was born a lazy person, and I can't compare with Ah Zhen." β
"You, if you had half of Ah Zhen's diligence, you would have practiced it a long time ago."
"Huh? My current ability is not enough, why do you practice so well? Participating in the Olympics? β
Lao Lu shook his head to show that his son could not be taught. Julia crossed her arms and squinted at the man downstairs.
The winter sun was shining, and she could even see the fine layer of sweat on Yin Zhen's naked shoulders. He held the knife in both hands, slashing one by one, and his tense muscles were as perfect as the Japanese swordsman written by Yuhiko Inoue, and even made Julia want to find a paintbrush to draw it.
The calm seriousness on the man's face seemed to diffuse tension, making the air around him unusual.
"What do you think of Ah Zhen?" Lao Lu asked suddenly.
Julia was stunned for a moment and looked at him: "What's the matter?" β
"Is it possible?" Lao Lu also looked at her.
Julia understood, and smiled bitterly: "Daddy, you're here again." β
"I'm not kidding, Julia, you should think about it a little bit, can he?"
She looked at the man practicing the knife downstairs, and finally shook her head: "No way." β
Lao Lu sighed.
Julia said indifferently: "I said a long time ago that I can't get married, Dad, you don't believe it, haven't you been taught a lesson from the last time?" β
As soon as she said this, Lao Lu's face darkened.
"Julia, you can blame me for Yu Jin's matter. But you can't go on like this forever......"
"I don't blame you." Julia interrupted him, "I just don't want to give anyone another chance, Daddy, you can't do this kind of thing." Rather than bringing the next generation into this world to suffer, it is better for one person to fend for himself. β
The conversation couldn't go on, and Lao Lu turned around and left in silence.
Seeing that he was gone, Julia simply grabbed the window frame, climbed onto the windowsill in twos and threes, and then sat down cross-legged.
"Appreciating a beautiful man from this angle, it's just right to ......" she smiled secretly in her heart, remembering Lao Lu's words just now, the past suddenly came to her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sour.
Spotting her movement, Yin Zhen stopped, he looked up at Julia, and frowned: "What are you doing?" β
"Free sightseeing," Julia snapped. "I regret it, I shouldn't have cut your hair, I should have let you tie your hair. That would be more like Soji Okita. β
"I don't know who it was. But come down quickly. Yin Zhen looked up at her, "It's dangerous to sit so high." β
"Oh, you don't care!" Julia interrupted him with a wave of her hand, "Keep practicing yours!" β
"You come down first." Yin Zhen didn't follow, "It's too dangerous up there!" The sage said: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall......"
Julia was amused: "You nerd! β
ββ¦β¦ There are also clouds: the son of a thousand gold does not sit in the hall, the son of a hundred gold does not ride the balance, and the holy lord does not take advantage of the danger and is lucky. Yin Zhen paused, "Julia, did you understand what I said?" β
"I don't understand." Julia rolled her eyes, "What's the money?" I'm not that valuable! β
Yin Zhen still didn't give up: "Even if you are worthless, you shouldn't sit on such a high windowsill." β
Why don't I have a rotten tomatoes or rotten eggs on hand? Julia thought whimsically.
Gradually, Julia called Yin Zhen a "nerd", and it turned out that he really liked to read. Although there are not many books in the villa area, and he had to rely on the dictionary to know simplified Chinese characters at first, no matter what books he gets, Yin Zhen reads them very energetically.
At first, Julia still looked at Yin Zhen's hobby with admiration, she secretly thought, it's the end of the world, and she can still diligently study human culture, this mentality is really amazing, and the rich second generation cultivated by the owner of the Malaysian rubber plantation with four books and five classics is really extraordinary.
But later, when she found out that Yin Zhen even watched "Men's Clothes" with relish, her admiration was shattered.
"I'm still going to be so studious." She snorted, "What? Haven't seen a beautiful woman yet? The eyeballs are about to fall out! β
Yin Zhen looked up from the book and looked at her inexplicably: "What? β
"Don't dream about magazines!" Julia pointed to the cover of the magazine, "You still hold a dictionary and look it up while looking it upβis it necessary to take it so seriously?" β
"I want to understand." Yin Zhen said succinctly.
"Don't you know what it's like to be in a woman?"
Yin Zhen glanced at her: "Stupid." That's what I want to figure out...... this world. β
"What's so hard to understand about this world? Isn't it zombies all over the ground? β
"I want to know what the zombies were like before they appeared."
Julia glared at him for a while, and suddenly slapped her head: "Don't tell me, you haven't even read a magazine like "Men's Clothing" before - you really read ancient books?" β
Yin Zhen nodded.
Julia looked at him with great sympathy: "You're too miserable, aren't you?" Your dad is too cruel and ruthless, isn't he? β
Yin Zhen looked up at her, and suddenly laughed: "Don't blame him, he hasn't seen it himself." β
"Strange family." Julia muttered.
Regarding books, Yin Zhen is very dissatisfied with the status quo, because Julia's "collection" is too small, only seven or eight in total, and there are no domestic history books that he wants most. Julia reads comics the most, and although Yin Zhen is influenced by her to love comics, he always feels that it is a pity to only read comics.
And after a long time, Julia also began to suspect that it was actually a dangerous mistake to introduce such things as comics to Yin Zhen, because he couldn't get in touch with more serious books, Yin Zhen gradually regarded the worldview in the comics as a normal worldview, for example, he actually thought that they could try to develop the gas device for people to fly in "Attack on Titan", because Yin Zhen thought that the so-called giants were enlarged versions of zombies.
"Can you save money?" Julia didn't feel good, "That's a comic, it can't be real." β
"But you said that reading more comics will help improve your morale......"
"I didn't ask you to raise this kind of ambition!" Julia was angry, "Ah Zhen, are you realistic?" β
Not only did his thinking begin to detach from reality, Yin Zhen even fantasized that he wanted to become the world's number one swordsman in his life - just use his "Juyi Writing Sect".
This, of course, is a consequence of his watching a series of end-of-tale manga.
In fact, when it comes to books at home, it is not without serious works, Lao Lu is keen on military affairs, and the old man's cabinet treasures "History of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire", "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", "Bismarck", and Walker's "War" series all year round. However, Yin Zhen tried these books several times, and all of them failed within ten pagesβhe couldn't understand them at all if they weren't worthy of the pictures.
Lao Lu was very disappointed, so he asked him where he couldn't understand, Yin Zhen couldn't say it, in fact, he wanted to say that he "couldn't understand anywhere", and he couldn't read the first sentence. Lacking an overall historical background, his knowledge is too narrow, and he doesn't know the meaning of too many words, so he has a hard time reading even basic sentences.
Yin Zhen was embarrassed to ask Lao Lu in every detail like he asked Julia, and what was worse was that as long as he showed a little interest, Lao Lu would pull him to "discuss" constantly, which made Yin Zhen even start to hide from Lao Lu.
When Julia heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: if a person had never even heard of the atomic bomb, wouldn't it be a piano to play the piano to a cow if he was dragged to discuss what Roosevelt was?
This made Julia finally understand one thing, Lao Lu is actually very lonely, and he really wants to talk to a man about some "iron and blood" topics - this hope is doomed to be dashed, just such a guy who watches "Men's Clothes" with relish and is full of Japanese comics, and the word iron and blood, I am afraid that he will never have a chance for the rest of his life.
