Chapter 5, Uncle Song and I that night

There is indeed a problem in this place of Xianghongyuan, so there are two large lumps of meat piled in front of them, and it is impossible for them not to find it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info So, they are the place of the incident, why didn't they ask us without asking?

Uncle Song came back after going out for a while, full of the smell of wine, and his face was full of joy: "Those idiots actually entered the room of a general in Qindu, and then pulled that general directly into the street." Just bare-assed! Hahahahahahaha! That general is now angry in Xianghongyuan, saying that he is going to drop people to destroy the Yecheng County Order. ”

After Uncle Song finished speaking, he fell asleep.

It seems that this matter will not be resolved for a while.

Uncle Song's incident was calm, surprisingly calm, and he even went to Xianghongyuan to look at it when he had nothing to do, and asked if they had caught the murderer. It's like a spectator.

It's a pity that no matter how well Uncle Song and I pretended, we were still discovered. In the days after that incident, strangers kept appearing around me and Uncle Song, and Uncle Song went out more and more frequently. I just didn't realize what was going on at the time.

I asked Uncle Song, and the answer Uncle Song gave me was, "Nothing." ”

On the fourth day after that incident, Uncle Song came back a little early, and he came back as soon as it was dark. And I just woke up and was getting ready to go out.

That day, I noticed a few spots of blood on his clothes.

Uncle Song called me over a little weakly and said to me, "Night City, I'm going to give you something to see." ”

"Oh, Uncle Song. I knew you were some kind of licentious prince who loved freedom. Don't talk about it, take out the heirloom jade seal that your father gave you and show it to me. I said.

"Huh!" Uncle Song sneered twice and sneered: "I can't have that thing, and even if I did, I would have used it as a drink long ago." ”

As he spoke, Uncle Song took out a one-and-a-half-foot-long black sword from under the bedside.

There was no cold light that symbolized sharpness, and there were no sword lines, it was really just a simple black sword. It's rusty, and there are a lot of chips, apparently not used for years, and before it's not used, it's almost used by others. My first impression of that sword was this, and in a nutshell, it was just two words: broken sword.

I couldn't help it: "Can I ask Uncle Song where you came from this sword?" ”

"Can't!" Uncle Song is righteous.

"Can I say that this sword is broken and rotten?"

"Can't!"

"Okay, this one-and-a-half-foot-long piece of iron has been made into a sword, that person is really boring, Uncle Song." I didn't feel angry.

"A sword is not a good sword, but iron is definitely good iron." Uncle Song said, flicked his finger on the sword, made a crisp sound, and then put the black sword in my hand.

"Weigh it up." He said.

I took the sword, and it was cold in my hand, and there was no famous sword at all. After careful weighing, it weighed about three pounds. I tapped the blade of the sword with my fingers decently, and the sound of the sword was very crisp, really like a piece of black iron, but it was much heavier than ordinary black iron.

"Each sword was cold at first, and when the sword was put in his hand, the swordsman began to warm it with his body heat. The sword belongs to you, and when you warm it up, it truly belongs to you. Uncle Song said very seriously.

"Okay." I promised, although I really can't love this broken sword, but it's actually quite exciting to think about it.

It's a weird feeling, when you find out that everyone else has something and you don't, you start to imagine what it will be like to have it in the future.

For example: sword, master, apprentice, wife, children. You'll start imagining this thing about yourself in the future.

It's like a child who envy adults for having a lot of things, so they always wonder what it would be like if I had them in the future.

It wasn't until later, when I had that thing, that I had such a feeling of helplessness. Oh, I have that thing too, oh, mine looks like this.

Oh, I also had the first sword in my life, oh, it turns out that my sword is like this.

Looking at this broken sword, I couldn't help but sigh.

Oh, now I have my wife too, oh, it turns out that my wife is like this!

Oh, now I have a child, oh, so my child is like this!

What are you kidding, this broken sword! Will my women and children be like this in the future?

I gazed at the sword and swore it would be different.

After giving me the black sword, Uncle Song also became the same as Uncle Yexi, becoming melancholy. There was some tearfulness in the eyes, which was not easy to detect in the light of the candle.

"Night City, you're going somewhere? A place full of peach blossoms! Are you going? "After a long time, after I held the black sword in my arms and covered it so hot that it belonged to me, Uncle Song asked me such a question.

"No, no." I shook my head.

"The wind is crisp there, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant!" Uncle Song tempted.

"I'm not going." I continued to shake my head, I still liked the dirty air of Night City.

"That place can teach you how to learn the sword. Make you a real swordsman. ”

"I just don't go." I shook my head vigorously.

"There are a lot of beautiful senior sisters in that place."

"What? Uncle Song, since you are so insistent, where? I'll go. I asked with a smile, after all, Yeqiu's faith has been shattered, and people still have to have some faith.

"Tomorrow morning I will go out and go north, and I will be there in a short time. Go find a place called Momoyama Sword Sect. ”

"Are you going, Uncle Song?" I asked.

"Me? Don't go. Uncle Song replied with a smile.

"Why?"

"Because there's no one my age there." Uncle Song said with a smile.

"Why do you want me to go? Uncle Song? At that time, I wanted to ask this, but when I saw Uncle Song's face cloudy in the dim candlelight, I couldn't help it.

The two of us went back to our usual habits, staying together, but not speaking a word, like two wooden men.

The habit was awkward, and after a while, the candle ran out and I didn't go to light another one because it was the last one. Uncle Song naturally didn't move, and the two didn't say a word in the dark room. However, their hearing is extremely sensitive, and they can hear each other's breathing clearly.

"Night City, I really want to ask you one more question, what are your ambitions? Find an ambition that has nothing to do with women. In the dark, Uncle Song asked.

Why did Uncle Song ask this kind of question again? Doesn't he know that this is the most boring and hardest question for a person like me?

"Not really." I shook my head.

Uncle Song had no choice but to say, "Tell me something about women." ”

"First, marry Yeqiu as a wife, she is busy with her career, I love my love. Second, if the first one fails, find a senior sister in the Taoshan Sword Sect as a wife. Third, if the first two are not successful, go back to Night City to marry a woman as a wife...... Fifteenth, if the first fourteen articles are not successful, marry Yechun as a wife......"

"That's enough." Uncle Song interrupted, and then laughed.

"Don't panic, there's more." I'm busy.

"I've said enough." Uncle Song smiled and covered his stomach, estimating that his stomach hurt from laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Uncle Song. I asked, confused.

"Didn't laugh at anything. Night City, I tell you, I will not allow you to insult the dignity of a swordsman. Night City, you remember for me that you are not allowed to lose every battle in the future, and you are not allowed to hold my name regardless of whether you win or lose. As for your ambitions, hahahahaha, it's boring. ”

"Uncle Song, you don't allow me to lose, how can I still win or lose?"

"Oh, yes."

Uncle Song suddenly realized, and then there was silence again.

"Is it easy to learn a sword?" In the dark, I suddenly asked.

"What's so hard about learning a sword? Three sentences: talk less big, think less about women; Fight less. Well, for you, don't forget to listen to the story less. Uncle Song said.

"But if I don't do this, then what's the use of me learning swords? Women, face, the strength to shoot whenever you want. ”

"There are some very important things about people. It is worth guarding with a sword. ”

"What?" I asked.

"Love! Glory! And dare to do what you want. Uncle Song said loudly, speaking with such a bold look, as if it was no different from mine.

"Is there a difference?" I was speechless.

"Didn't you? You're talking about the pursuit of gangsters, I'm talking about the pursuit of swordsmen. Uncle Song asked, believing that what he said was the greatest truth. After a while, after hearing that I didn't continue to ask, Uncle Song began to say again: "You are going to go there." Study hard and come back and know how to take care of yourself. ”

"That's what learning swords is for? Take care of yourself. ”

"You think it's easy for you to take care of yourself?"

"Okay." I said.

"I don't know, whatever." Uncle Song said, and then there was a noise, and he went to bed.

"Then why don't I listen to the story?" I asked, knowing that I couldn't possibly fall asleep.

"Nonsense, do you think you can pick up a broken sword casually and it is a famous sword left behind in the world? Do you think that you meet a hermit whose master is all immortal wind bones? Do you think that if you fight a random person, he is a waste of the outside power? Isn't that famous sword made by fighting, grinding, and killing? Uncle Song said, and his tone of mockery gradually became impassioned.

I was dumbfounded, and after half a sound, I said, "Uncle Song, you are a person with a story." “

"It's a pity that my story is not a good story." Uncle Song said, there was indescribable sadness in his words.

"Uncle Song, can I go out for a while." After a moment of silence, I suddenly said.

"If you want to go, you can go. One last look at this place, too. “

……

(That night, Uncle Song and I talked so much that I couldn't remember it clearly.) I have to admit that those words have been hidden in my memory for many years, and some have even affected my whole life. Those words made me believe that there are still people in this world who love me, so much so that when I think about it at some point in the future, there is still a burst of warmth. )

That night, I went out and spent the last night wandering in the sea of lights of Night City......

Finally stopped in front of Yeqiu's door, and for a while I didn't know whether to knock on the door, but in the end I didn't knock, but the door opened.
