Chapter 7: The Knife

Luo Xingyu followed Gao Yuan into the bedroom, Gao Yuan took out two knives, one long and one short, from his bag, and then he directly put both knives in front of Luo Xingyu.

"Take this knife."

Luo Xingyu was a little surprised, and she took the longer knife.

"Pull it out."

Luo Xingyu unchecked the buckle on the leather sheath and pulled out the knife.

The blade is very bright, and the wooden handle pattern is beautiful.

Gao Yuan said with a straight face: "The handle of the knife is a stabilized birch tumor, the knife is 33 cm long, 3 cm wide at the widest point, and five mm thick, using S30V powder steel from the American crucible company, BOS heat treatment, Rockwell hardness 61, retention and toughness are very good, enough for you to use for a lifetime." ”

Luo Xingyu couldn't help but say: "It's so beautiful, and what you said is so professional!" ”

Gao Yuan exhaled lightly and said, "From now on, take this knife with you, no matter what you do, don't let this knife leave the distance you can reach, be familiar with it, use it, treat it as an extension of your arm, if you meet a bad person, don't hesitate to stab him with a knife, if you meet a beast, stab it with a knife." ”

Luo Xingyu was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and said, "I know, I will." ”

Gao Yuan continued: "This knife is very sharp, but it is also because it is too sharp, so don't take it to cut something particularly hard, it will hurt the blade, the knife is the most important tool for you to survive in the wild, more important than anything else, treat it as well as yourself." ”

Luo Xingyu also became serious, and she nodded: "I understand, I will definitely cherish this knife." ”

"The hardness of the birch tumor is not high, so the handle is relatively fragile, be careful when using it, and also, the handle of this knife is made according to the shape of my hand, the handle may be thick for you, if you feel that the handle is too thick, I can help you trim it to the most suitable extent for you, but the length cannot be adjusted, there is no suitable tool."

Luo Xingyu said with a surprised face: "You claimed to be a knife maker when you called on the radio just now, could it be that you made this knife?" ”

Gao Yuan spread his hands and said, "Otherwise? Of course, I made this knife, and this is my first really satisfactory work, and this steel plate is so expensive, it is very troublesome to make a knife with a heat-treated steel plate, it hurts my flesh when I buy a steel plate, it gives me a headache when I make a knife, and it makes me feel very distressed to give it to you, so you must treat this knife well. ”

"Wow, I found you to be so versatile, amazing! Thank you, Brother Yuan. ”

After exclaiming, Luo Xingyu suddenly said, "Can I take a look at the knife you used yourself?" ”

Gao Yuan hesitated, he really hesitated, but he still pulled out his knife.

However, Gao Yuan did not hand the knife to Luo Xingyu.

Gao Yuan's own knife didn't look like it was beautiful for Luo Xingyu.

There is no rust but there are dark spots of oxidation, there are many signs of use, there are also many scars on the leather sheath, and the black handle looks very ordinary.

"This knife is forged with high-carbon steel, I use rail steel, or the old rails from decades ago, I design my own forging or my own quenching fire, well, the length is 32 cm, the Rockwell hardness is about 58, the advantage of carbon steel is that it is fast and easy to sharpen, this knife is very sharp, but the retention is not as good as yours, it is the powder steel of modern technology, I am at best a traditional craft."

Luo Xingyu said with some curiosity: "You have a lot of knives, why do you use this one?" ”

Gao Yuan laughed, and then he put the knife back into the scabbard and said, "This knife...... I used it handily. ”

After putting away his knife, Gao Yuan took the knife and handed it to Luo Xingyu, and said: "This knife was bought, Swedish mora, stainless steel, Scandinavian blade, very sharp, it is best used to deal with wood, of course, you can use it to eat meat or peel fruit." ”

The short knife looks very ordinary, with a plastic handle and a plastic shell, which looks like a fruit knife.

Luo Xingyu pulled out a short knife and looked at it, and said, "It's not as good as you do." ”

"It's not good-looking, but it's easy to use, this is a tool knife, you will use it every day in your daily life, so bring this knife with you, and you will find that this knife is the most frequent use you use."

Clapped his hands and said Gao Yuan: "It's really a little reluctant to give my knife out, okay, now I'll give you something else." ”

Gao Yuan took out a waist bag from his backpack, and after he took the waist bag in his hand, he said: "This is a psk waist bag, which contains tinder, allergy medicine, diarrhea medicine, cold medicine and fever medicine, a small box of water purification tablets with three pieces of chocolate, as well as whistles and band-aids, these are all psk that I use in my daily life, I can smoothly take the subway and bus but there are fewer things inside, but if you had this bag earlier, it would not have been so bitter a few days ago." ”

Gao Yuan, who was emotional, gave the bag to Luo Xingyu, but Luo Xingyu was surprised and said, "You also carry this bag every day?" ”

"Yes, that's why I'm considered a psychopath."

Takato, who was very self-deprecating, laughed.

"You're pretty handsome when you laugh...... Thank you. ”

Luo Xingyu already had tears in her eyes, and she said softly: "Thank you, except for my parents, you are the best person in the world for me." ”

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, because you still have a lot of things to thank me, stay in the last piece and say thank you." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Yuan said with a look of determination: "Come with me, oh, hang the knife now, the big knife can be hung on the belt, and the small knife can be hung on the belt of the belt." ”

Seeing Luo Xingyu get the knife right, Gao Yuan took her out of the house, and then pointed to an abandoned pigsty and said: "There are 90-style compressed biscuits hidden in it, and there are sixty-four boxes, one box of four small pieces, one person eats two small pieces a day to have enough calories, and there are twenty 400-gram canned beef in it, canned beef from Russia, not delicious but real." ”

Luo Xingyu looked shocked again, Gao Yuan pointed to the other side and continued: "On the cliff behind the broken house, there is a small hole behind a bluestone slab, and there are fifty cans in it, including canned luncheon meat and domestic military cans. ”

He took Luo Xingyu and walked a few steps, and came to the bottom of a shed behind the house where he lived, and Gao Yuan leaned over and lifted a few pieces of wood, revealing a bicycle inside.

"The bicycle is strapped to a large evacuation bag, which contains enough food and water for a week, a tent, a set of clothes, an axe, a long knife, two short knives, a saw, a lot of tinder, a lot of medicines, two bottles of wine, two cigarettes, two cans of tea in small packages, a total of dozens of boxes of various medicines, these are all bought by me shortly before the disaster, the shelf life is still very long, and many things in it can be used as currency."

Pointing to a backpack hanging in front of the bicycle, Gao Yuan said: "What is fixed in front is a Bob backpack, spare, which contains three days of food and water, a knife, and an ax. ”

Under the gaze of the stunned Luo Xingyu, after Gao Yuan hid the bicycle with wood and branches, he patted the dust on his hands and said: "In addition, we have and are using tools such as a spear, a long-handled axe, a short-handled axe, which is the one I have hanging on my waist, a folding saw, a sapper shovel, and some rope, well, by the way, we still have some good things." ”

"What!"

"Twenty toothbrush sets, a little soap, shampoo or something, and two rolls of toilet paper!"

Luo Xingyu's eyes widened, and Gao Yuan said a little embarrassed: "Well, toilet paper is very precious, it's all given to you, don't use it usually, wait for your menstrual period." ”

Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan blankly, and then her tears flowed down again.

Luo Xingyu cried today.

"Why are you crying again?"

Luo Xingyu cried, she sobbed and said: "You are so good, this is not a good person card, I am just very excited, and I feel that I am too happy now, you must have been sent by God to rescue me,"

Crying and crying, Luo Xingyu suddenly hugged Gao Yuan, and then she leaned her head on Gao Yuan's chest and began to cry loudly.

"Don't cry, don't cry, shouldn't you laugh if you feel happy......"

"I'm really starving to death, I don't know how long I can only eat cabbage and turnips, I'm so cold, I really feel like I'm going to freeze to death, I'm so scared, I can't sleep, I can't do anything, I'm desperate, I really feel like I'm going to die, thank you, thank you for saving me......"

Luo Xingyu's venting crying made Gao Yuan a little at a loss, he didn't know where to put his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yuan put his hand on Luo Xingyu's back, patted it lightly, and said, "Don't cry, well, don't cry, it'll be fine in the future." ”

"I really appreciate you so much...... Thank you, brother. ”

Gao Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Actually, I'm telling you this because I'm afraid that I might die that day, if I die and you don't die, then these things can continue to come in handy, you should know, in the current situation, we really can ...... at any time There will be surprises. ”

Luo Xingyu paused, but then she cried even more.

Gao Yuan continued to say softly: "We are all survivors of this apocalypse, we are companions, I can only rely on you, so of course I have to give you all these things, you should understand, if you want to survive, two people have a lot more advantages than one person, so you don't have to be too moved, I should do all this." ”

Luo Xingyu raised her head, she was embarrassed to wipe the wet piece of Gao Yuan's chest, and said, "You are such a fool, and ah, even if it is easier for two people to survive, no one will be willing to share everything with others like you." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "It depends on the situation, for example, if I meet two people, then I will never expose myself, because these two people are likely to be a small group, two people can always get more than three people to share, if I meet a man, then I will not easily bring him here, let alone give him everything, because people's hearts are unpredictable." ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yuan patted Luo Xingyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your brother is very afraid of death, so I won't trust others easily, I also want to tell you these words, once you see strangers in the future, you must be careful, because in this kind of last days, the deepest goodness in the human heart will be reflected, but the evil in the human heart will also be reflected." ”
