Chapter Fifty-Eight: Young Master Cao and His Apprentice and the Making of the Peachwood Sword
"Grandpa?" I looked at my grandfather because he didn't catch up with the lost back of Young Master Cao and his beautiful sister standing at the door, and I was very distressed, Grandpa must have been very sad at this time, and the peachwood sword used his spirituality to point out that Young Master Cao was the murderer of the sword, and let Grandpa avenge it, but Grandpa couldn't do anything, and he couldn't fight them, and he couldn't even catch up, let alone fight.
"Candle, grandpa has come up with a solution! Ha ha...... Since this is providence, then soon grandpa will have an apprentice! Needless to say, Candle is going to get an axe for Grandpa! Grandpa is going to cut down the peach tree in the yard himself! Give it to the apprentice to make a starter sword! Grandpa happily turned away from the door frame, picked me up and threw me into the sky twice and caught it, but I was scared to death, grandpa couldn't catch them and was mad and wanted to fall me to death, right? But fortunately, my grandfather caught me, otherwise I would have died in a mess.
"The axe is too high to reach." In fact, I think the axe is too heavy, if I can arrive, I can't drag it to grandpa, when the peach wood is not cut, and then I cut myself, I am the scapegoat is wronged, the broken peachwood sword is passed down from the grandfather's top, grandpa is not distressed to blame!
"Then grandpa will get it himself." Grandpa said as he picked me up with one hand and walked towards the warehouse.
In fact, I am also quite afraid of the warehouse, because there is an ever-bright lamp in it, my grandfather said that the things in the warehouse are ancestral old objects, if you don't use the ever-bright lamp to worship, after a long time, they will absorb some bad habits, and become like those spirits in the yard, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and then it is not something that ordinary people can control; When I was a child, I also sneaked into the warehouse, which was probably some bottles and jars, as well as dishes, plates, chopsticks and other household supplies. After all, it was normal for the family house to have a lot of dishes and plates in the past, and I didn't dare to run deep in the warehouse, because the ever-bright light in the warehouse suddenly went out just after I took two steps. The door closed by itself, and it was the first time I had ever experienced a room with no light at all, only a little moonlight shining through the crack of the door, and I could even vaguely feel that there were little hands tugging at your clothes and wondering what I was, but fortunately Grandpa appeared in time, otherwise I don't know what would happen.
"Grandpa, can I watch you with an axe at the door of the warehouse?" I couldn't really tell what I was afraid of. If it is fear, the warehouse is completely unnecessary, and some commonly used items such as axes are placed in the small shed at the door of the warehouse by the grandfather, and there is no need to even enter the warehouse door. If you want to say that you are afraid, are you afraid that your grandfather will cut off her own son like that drunken mother in the neighboring village? It seems that grandpa didn't drink either, but I was still scared when I thought about the child's broken body. Whatever the reason, Grandpa must be suppressing his anger now! I have to stay away from my grandfather and make a candle quietly. Just look and don't speak.
"It's weird, what are you afraid of when the ever-bright lights in the warehouse have just been changed? They won't eat you again! Haha...... "It's good that grandpa doesn't say that, as soon as I say this, coupled with hearty laughter, I instantly feel that grandpa is possessed by that drunken mother and wants to destroy me, I quickly struggled out of grandpa's arms and stood on the ground and watched grandpa enter the warehouse."
As soon as my grandfather entered the warehouse, the door of the warehouse really closed by himself, and even the black dog who was stunned by the poison at that time was frightened by the sound of 'bang', and began to bark at the door, and I began to feel that something was wrong. The iron axe is hanging at the door, what is Grandpa doing in there? Still making such a big move? I thought of the broken little boy again. The head of the neighboring village thought that his mother had fallen into an evil spirit and would kill the child after drinking, and when the grandfather went, he saw that there was nothing wrong with the mother who was curled up on the ground after the wine woke up, and then he went to me to see if he could see the child, but the child put his arms around his mother, and the whole person played hide and seek with me behind my back.
Then he sued me that he had a fever when he was a child and became mildly mentally retarded, and his mother would drink and cut him, and when he was tied up the most nervous, he watched his mother drink cup by glass, and then went to find an axe, and walked into himself step by step with an axe, although he understood that his mother could not afford his treatment, after all, he had taken care of him for five years, and his father abandoned his mother because he didn't like him and ran away with other aunts, and finally he kissed his mother on the face, and then he went away with the ghost, But his mother was sentenced to life because he was sent to prison.
Just thinking about it, I watched my grandfather come out of the warehouse with a silver gold-handled axe and walk towards me, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, it's over, I'm not mentally retarded and I haven't done anything wrong, if I want to cut my grandfather, I'm also going to cut that ignorant Young Master Cao, what did he cut me for! I'm his favorite granddaughter, I'm anxious to run away from grandpa, so let's cry, I cry loudly, even if it's the weak's cousin, I can still save my life before and now, and I can also wake up grandpa's thinking.
"Candle, why are you crying, grandpa just showed you how beautiful our family's ancestral axe is."
"Then you can't be so close to me!" I choked up and sobbed, but fortunately my grandfather was not so angry that he wanted to take out his anger on me.
"You kid, why do you think of grandpa so badly!" Grandpa said and hid the axe behind his back and approached me, touched my head and said, "With the axe, you can go back to your useless parents." As he spoke, Grandpa took out the axe and showed it to me, and I was so frightened that I quickly took a few steps back.
"Can I see Mom and Dad?" I thought of the very gentle big sister again, she seemed to have said that she would let me see my parents, and now my grandfather said the same, it really works, but I don't know if the black snake let my sister go.
"Let's put it this way, use this to cut down that peach tree, and then make it into a peach wood sword, grandpa can accept apprentices, and when grandpa accepts that Cao Jun, and then let him surname Han, you can leave grandpa!" Grandpa said that, but I still didn't understand.
"But isn't the Peachwood Sword an ancestral heirloom? Do you want to do it casually? "I've turned on 100,000 whys, and if you don't understand, you have to ask.
"Who said no, candle, grandpa told you, we should have been surnamed Zhao! But grandpa's great-grandfather's generation, because he had no children in the family and only one daughter, used this broken peachwood sword to accept the upside-down son-in-law as an apprentice by the way. ”
"It's messy, but isn't this peachwood sword still an ancestral heirloom?"
"Isn't Grandpa finished speaking, and this peachwood sword was made by my grandfather himself! There are two ways to inherit the Han family, one is to inherit the father's business, so the other is to pass on a peachwood sword, and the other is to inherit the teacher's business, since it is necessary to rebuild a new peachwood sword to pass on, and this new apprentice must be recognized by the previous peachwood sword, which also means that the ancestors admit that after all, grandpa is also the first to accept apprentices in these generations, so I was a little excited, I didn't expect that the original broken peachwood sword could accept apprentices, then grandpa had already found someone to fold it, and he wouldn't delay it until now to throw on an apprentice I don't like. ”
"Grandpa, are you sure? If you want to break it, I'll too! "It's even more strange to see my grandfather happily brandishing an axe to cut down the peach tree, is this thing a powerful thing that bullies the weak to be recognized? Later, I learned a lot of information, so I learned the word 'masochistic identity' to use this word to describe them is the most appropriate, the black yaksha is also because of the ancestors to stop the like, the peach wood sword was also broken to identify Young Master Cao is the successor, I really don't understand, you have to use violence to admit defeat, you can't compare who has good qualifications, I think I'm quite suitable for inheriting the family business, but it's a pity that grandpa didn't teach me.
It must be a water product (to be continued......)
