Chapter 10: The True Face of the Sword
Zhao Yunfei's dinner is as usual, with grits porridge and pickle strips, and now there are big fat people everywhere in the city, it is because he eats too much for dinner, if he eats porridge for dinner for a long time, it is impossible to grow so much fat.
After dinner, Xiao Ji read a rotten comic book on the kang, and Zhao Yunfei sat at the round table to write his homework.
Zhao Yunfei's academic performance has always been in the top few in the class, although he has very limited time for studying, but he has his own set of learning methods, which is actually very simple, there are only two in total, the first one: listen carefully in class; Article 2: Go home and complete your homework carefully.
These two are simple to say, but there are not many children in rural areas who can really do it, on the other hand, as long as they can really do these two things, their academic performance is generally not too bad, and they do not have to spend extra time studying.
In fact, the truth is also very simple, school teachers are vocational educators, the teacher in the class to talk about the knowledge and leave the homework and the exam questions are all related, as long as the student listens carefully in class, and then the homework is completed seriously, as long as it is not surprisingly stupid, then it is natural to have a good test result in the end.
It has to be said that the education level of parents of rural children is generally not high, although they know that school is very important, but they can not consistently supervise the child's homework, and there is no correct learning method and good study habits to instill in the child, plus the rural children "play" the world is particularly broad, as soon as school is equal to herding sheep, therefore, a considerable number of rural children have no entry for learning at all, and drop out of school after junior high school, only a small number of children because of talent or their own good habits, Or thanks to the encouragement and supervision of parents, they can go better and further in learning.
For Zhao Yunfei, life and study are equally important.
Shouldering the burden of life on your own shoulders and being able to shelter your young sister from the wind and rain is a manly strength!
Use your wisdom in exchange for excellent academic performance and prove that you are not worse than others, this is the self-esteem of a man!
Zhao Yunfei shouldered the burden of the family on the shoulders of a teenager, and was able to compete in learning, which not only attracted the admiration and admiration of all the girls in the class, but also made the teacher look at him with admiration.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xiao Ji listened to fairy tales with a small radio in his arms, and fell asleep while listening.
Zhao Yunfei picked a dry fire rope from the clothesline in the yard and brought it into the house, this kind of fire rope is made of a plant called Artemisia annua, and after drying, it can smoke mosquitoes with fire and ignite it, just like mosquito coils, Zhao Yunfei put the lit fire rope on the iron shelf of the washbasin, and the house was immediately filled with a strong sandalwood fragrance.
Xiao Ji's pants had a hole in the knee, Zhao Yunfei found a piece of red broken step, cut it into the shape of an apple, and then threaded the needle and thread, and carefully sewed it one by one.
After mending Xiaoji's clothes, he was about to look for a book to read, when he suddenly remembered the sword he had dug up two days ago, got up and went into the back room, and found the heavy sword covered with dark red rust from the corner of the wall and lifted it out.
This sword has a strange shape, the sword body is long, and the tip is not a regular triangle, but a right triangle, which is more like a knife than a sword.
Looking closely under the light, Zhao Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback, it turned out that the knife looked like it was rusty, and after a closer look, he found that it was not rust at all, brushing the blade with his fingers, the whole body was smooth, and he didn't feel the mottling that had been eroded by the years, and the blade also exuded a chill.
"No wonder I was able to cut off the shovel handle at once when I was fighting with Wang Jinliang, it turned out that this guy had a blade." Zhao Yunfei muttered to himself.
Glancing at a whetstone on the stove, he thought, "This unsightly layer of rust on the surface should not be its original appearance, sharpen it with a whetstone to see what it is." ”
Zhao Yunfei walked to the stove, put the whetstone on the edge of the kang, held the handle of the knife in one hand, held the blade with the other, rubbed back and forth on the whetstone a few times, and then raised it in front of him, only to see that the whetstone had been ground to reveal a strip of yellow and clear gold, although the color was not accurate under the lamp, but there was a layer of dark red covered on the surface, and the color that was ground out was obviously golden yellow.
Zhao Yunfei couldn't suppress a burst of excitement in his heart: "Is it copper or gold?" If it was gold, it would be a fortune, and even if it was copper, the knife should be worth a lot of money. Pick up the whetstone to continue to polish on the knife body, as the dark red layer is gradually polished off, the whole long knife finally reveals its true face, in the light of the golden light, dazzling, the side of the knife body is also engraved with a line of simple traditional characters, Zhao Yunfei recognized it for a long time before he recognized it, and read softly:
Mind the world
Be honest and truthful
Sacrifice for righteousness
Descendants of the Dragon
"Who carved these words on this knife?" Zhao Yunfei looked at it over and over, confused, and felt that these words seemed to contain deep meaning.
Zhao Yunfei held the long knife, couldn't put it down, stabbed horizontally in the house, full of interest, inserted the long knife into his belt, and held the handle of the knife, but also quite powerful.
This knife is really not ordinarily heavy, it is much heavier than ordinary steel of the same size, and after dancing for more than an hour, the arm is actually a little sore.
"Such a good knife, but it's a pity that it lacks a scabbard." Zhao Yunfei sighed in his heart, seeing that the time was not early, he wanted to put away the knife and sleep, looked around, there was no cabinet that could hold valuables in the empty room, thought about it, and finally decided to hide the knife on the top of the large wardrobe, and pressed a roll of mats on it, and then turned off the lights and rested on the kang.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep in a trance, half-dreaming and half-awake, a shadow covered the moonlight, and the originally bright courtyard became gloomy in an instant, lightning and thunder roared in the air, and an unusually poignant voice howled: "Give me back, give me back......
Although Zhao Yunfei was extremely frightened in his heart, he was the pillar of the family, and he had no qualifications to be afraid at all, so he had to go out to see what was going on no matter what.
Got up from the kang, looked at Xiao Ji who was sleeping, picked up a wooden stick from behind the door, opened the door and came to the courtyard.
I saw that the air was foggy, the clouds were gloomy, and a bloodied dragon was floating under the clouds, and the original color of the dragon could not be seen.
"Give me back, give me back......"
Zhao Yunfei stubbornly pointed at the dragon in the air with a wooden stick and shouted, "This is my house, go away!" ”
The dragon shouted, "How can you walk without a head?" ”
Zhao Yunfei shouted, "Isn't your head in your hand?" Why do you want it from me? ”
The giant dragon listened to Zhao Yunfei's words, his watermelon-sized eyes and bones rolled, and then suddenly realized, raised his head and pressed it his neck, rolling in the clouds excitedly, while laughing and shouting: "I have a head, I have a head......
Zhao Yunfei's heart tightened for a while, and he plucked up his courage and said, "If you have a head, leave my house!" ”
The giant dragon stopped suddenly, slowly poked its huge head out of the air, the blood marks on its neck were particularly eye-catching, the giant eyes were like lamps, staring at Zhao Yunfei deadly, the fangs in the mouth were like swords and halberds, the eyes were rolling, and the two fine lights stayed on the wooden stick in Zhao Yunfei's hand, and the huge mouth suddenly opened without warning, only to hear the sound of "whew", a flame mixed with an unpleasant smell erupted from the dragon's mouth, and the wooden stick in Zhao Yunfei's hand was immediately ignited by the fire.
The scorching flames swept Zhao Yunfei's arm into it, and the pain pierced his heart, and Zhao Yunfei hurriedly threw away the wooden stick.
The dragon laughed wildly, "A stick...... Do you think it's a dragon slayer? Ahahaha......"
As soon as the laughter fell, the dragon opened its terrifying mouth again, Zhao Yunfei thought that it was about to breathe fire again, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but the dragon did not breathe fire this time, but swung its tail and sucked wildly.
In an instant, the wind was blowing, the sand was flying, only to hear two loud noises, Zhao Yunfei's family and Li Lanfang's two houses broke a big hole in the roofs at the same time, and in the rising dust, the two figures were sucked up from the hole that was broken, and they were sucked into the dragon's mouth.
"Brother, brother......"
"Yunfei save my ......"
"Ah, it's Xiao Ji and Xiao Fang." Zhao Yunfei was so anxious that he was so anxious that the golden knife was on top of the big wardrobe in the house, and hurriedly pushed the door to get the knife, but the strange thing is that the wooden door that can be blown open by a gust of wind is now he can't push it, so anxious that he kicked it with his foot and hit it with his shoulder, but the door didn't move at all, and when he turned around, he saw the huge body of the dragon floating farther and farther in the air, Zhao Yunfei broke out in a cold sweat and woke up in shock.
