Lao Zhang wrapped the short knife, gently put it on the grinding stone, looked up and said to Ah Hui: "Today, I'm too tired. I'll continue to sharpen the knife tomorrow and then hand it over to you, okay? Ah Hui didn't expect that this was not the end, and he would continue to polish it tomorrow. Lao Zhang saw Ah Hui hesitating, and said to Ah Hui with a very ugly face: "What? Are you afraid that I will steal your knife and not be able to? ”

Ah Hui smiled, shook his hand and said to Lao Zhang: "I didn't mean that, but I didn't expect that this knife would waste your time, and I was a little unhappy!" ”

Lao Zhang looked at the short knife on the grinding stone and said to Ah Hui: "It is rare to encounter such a good knife, otherwise my craft can only sharpen the kitchen knife, which is really not enjoyable!" ”

Lao Zhang put the short knife in his arms, picked up the grinding stone again, and motioned to Ah Hui to open the door for him, watching Lao Zhang leave, Ah Hui had a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that Lao Zhang had made a mistake, this knife was found by Zhou Ting in the warehouse, it should be a knife that no one wanted, and there were a few more found at the same time, could it be that they were all sharp blades?

After Ah Hui returned to the medical area, he found Zhou Ting and asked where the short knives were placed, Zhou Ting told Ah Hui that due to the rush that day, the knives of the three of them were all lost in the alley, and later Qiao Li sent someone to find them, and she put them in a room in the medical area.

Ah Hui found the three short knives in that room. These three knives all look much better than their own knives, at least there is no rust on the blades. Ah Hui brought all three short knives back to the room, planning to give them to Lao Zhang tomorrow and ask him to help sharpen them.

When he woke up, Ah Hui came to the warehouse with three knives, Lao Zhang was not there, Ah Hui patiently took the short knife and continued to practice, and the day passed quickly. Lao Zhang still didn't appear. Ah Hui was also hungry and wanted to go back and find something to eat.

When he pushed the door open, he saw Lao Zhang standing in front of the door with a smile on his face, and said to Ah Hui: "Are you in a hurry?" Ah Hui smiled and shook his head. Lao Zhang walked into the warehouse, took out the bottle next to him, poured water to wash a wooden board, and then wiped the wooden board vigorously with his sleeve.

He took out a long cloth bag in his arms and dragged it on the wooden board with both hands. Gently opened, Ah Hui saw that there was a black scabbard and a short knife with a red handle, Ah Hui was a little shocked, is this his own short knife?

Lao Zhang picked up the short knife, gently pulled it out, looked at it himself, and then handed it over to Ah Hui with satisfaction, Ah Hui took the short knife, and saw that there were a few black stains on the knife, which were rust that could not be polished off before, so he recognized that this was his short knife.

Now this short knife has completely changed its appearance, and the blade emits a cold light. The black streaks, like a figure, loomed on the body of the knife, and the handle of the knife was made of a kind of red wood, which made it feel a little waunting in the hand. Ah Hui smiled from ear to ear, looked up at Lao Zhang and said gratefully, "Thank you!" ”

Lao Zhang pointed to the knife and said: "This knife handle is made of a special kind of wood, originally I wanted to keep it for myself, but this knife handle is too suitable for your knife, so I will use it for you, this knife handle, when you hold it, it will not slip your hand, and even if it is sweaty in your hand, it can also absorb it." ”

Ah Hui took the knife and waved it in his hand a few times, feeling much more comfortable than before, Lao Zhang picked up the scabbard and handed it to Ah Hui and said: "The black spots on this knife are soaked in blood, and this knife before seems to have killed countless people." So you have to be careful with your use in the future. ”

Ah Hui looked at the black spots on the knife in surprise, Lao Zhang took the knife, put it in the scabbard, and instructed: "This knife, blood will be seen when it comes out of the sheath, be careful in the future!" Then he handed the knife to Ah Hui, who held the knife and liked it very much.

Ah Hui pointed to the three knives on the ground and said to Lao Zhang: "This is the short knife I found with him, I brought them all, take a look!" ”

Lao Zhang lowered his body and picked up the three knives, picked up one of them, held the handle of the knife with one hand, held the tip of the knife with the other, and with a force with both hands, the knife was already bent, and Lao Zhang threw it on the ground casually. He didn't look at the remaining two knives, threw them aside, and said, "It's all garbage, it's not as good as my kitchen knife." Alright, I'm going back! ”

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the warehouse. Ah Hui happily returned to the medical area with the short knife, and met Zhuang Yang in the corridor, Zhuang Yang ran over to Ah Hui and said, "Qiao Li is looking for you and asking you to go to the practice ground." ”

When Ah Hui ran to the practice range, Qiao Li took Zhou Ting and a few people to sit together, Qiao Li saw Ah Hui running over, beckoned to him, and asked him to sit beside him.

After Ah Hui sat down, he looked around, Zhou Ting, Zhang Dao, Wei Xun, and Han Lin were all there, and there was another person who was Gao Ju, Ah Hui hadn't had much contact, so he smiled and nodded to him, Gao Ju glanced at Ah Hui without any expression.

Qiao Li looked at these people and said, "Today, I called you all here, it's a matter of testing, the inner city has changed the rules, and everyone knows about it, right?" After speaking, Qiao Li looked at it and said: "This test to the inner city can be said to be a battle of life and death, now if anyone doesn't want to go, bring it up immediately, I will send another candidate, you know, this time, there may be no return!" Think about it, if you quit, you won't be looked down upon, even I'm a little timid! ”

Wei Xun said loudly: "You must go, don't take revenge, since it's a life-and-death fight, let them all die!" ”

Qiao Li glared at Wei Xun and said, "What is not revenge, the most important thing is to be alive, even if you go, you can't fight hard, what if you lose?" ”

Then Qiao Li shouted again: "If it's inconvenient to bring it up now, then I'll go back and think about it later, and find me in private." Now, I'm talking about the rules of this test. Ah Hui saw Gao Ju's eyebrows furrowed, and wanted to speak, but held back.

Qiao Li continued: "This time, we tested it with the five teams in advance, and it was canceled. But it remains, the final game between the captains. And the inner city proposed, two patrol teams, duel each other. The winner advances to the next round. That said, in the next round we will face the winner of the other two rangers. The winner will compete with the winner of the first and second teams for the first place, and if they win the first place, they will rotate with the first team for the patrol position. After that, patrol positions will be assigned according to the ranking. ”

Qiao Li paused, looked at everyone, and continued: "Actually, my current idea is that in the first round, we will lose to the five teams, so that at least we can get out of the way!" ”

Wei Xun stood up and said loudly: "I don't care about others, but when I meet people from the fifth team, I will not show mercy!" With that, he glared at everyone. Qiao Li smiled and waved his hand at him and said, "Sit down first!" Wei Xun sat down with a snort.

Han Lin said slowly: "Although my skills are not good, I will do my best when I meet people from the fifth team!" Wei Xun heard Han Lin say this, smiled and stretched out his hand to Han Lin, Han Lin glanced at it and high-fived Wei Xun.

Qiao Li shook his head and said with some excitement; "We can't be impatient now, even if we beat five teams, we will face stronger opponents in the next round, and there will be casualties! Will you listen to me first? ”

Zhou Ting glanced at Qiao Li and said, "Captain, no matter what, we all want to win the fifth team, can't we give up after winning?" ”

Qiao Li looked at everyone and said, "Okay, let's not discuss this first, let's assign personnel first, Wei Xun, Zhang Dao, Zhou Ting, Gao Ju, Han Lin, are the main force." Ah Hui is still used as a substitute, but the rule of the inner city is not to use wooden knives, but to use our own sabers. So be careful this time! ”

Qiao Li glanced at Ah Hui and said, "Ah Hui has not been issued a knife in the inner city, so his knife can be borrowed from the team members temporarily." When I get back, I'll apply to the inner city for a sabre. ”

Han Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Then this test, hey, is to go to the inner city to fight, what are the rules when fighting?" For example, what actions are fouls? ”

Qiao Li shook his head and said: "When entering the gladiatorial arena, there are no rules, the knife is only used by yourself, and there is only one rule, that is, the opponent gives up, or loses the ability to fight." That's why I said this time, we give up, and when we meet five teams, we will pretend to lose and admit defeat! ”

Han Lin lowered his head and didn't speak, Wei Xun glanced at Qiao Li, and also lowered his head, very angry and didn't speak.

Qiao Li sighed, looked up at the sky, a little starlight was shining in the sky, Qiao Li said: "I don't know what's wrong with the inner city, it seems that someone likes it, gladiatorial fighting!" We don't care about our lives anymore! ”

Zhou Ting also looked up at the sky and said, "Although we are exempt from sacrifice, we have a test again, when will we be able to live happily!" ”

Han Lin looked at Qiao Li and said, "It is said that you also participated in a gladiatorial fight when you went to the inner city that time?" ”

Qiao Li glanced at Han Lin, nodded, and said with a melancholy face: "That may be a shame in my life!" ”

Han Lin looked at Qiao Li and said, "Then this time, let's go and get rid of the shame, captain, we just want to fight with the fifth team!" ”

Qiao Li stood up, looked at all the team members, showed his trademark smile, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, the day of the test is coming soon, everyone must hurry up and practice, and don't embarrass the tenth team!" After a while, they all came to my room, and I had wine and meat, and we had a good drink. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, everyone became happy, and Zhang Dao was the first person to stand up, he ignored no one, and walked straight to Qiao Li's room.

When everyone walked to Qiao Li's room, Qiao Li grabbed Gao Ju, Gao Ju raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Li, Qiao Li said with a smile: "If you don't want to go, don't force it!" ”

Gao Ju looked at Qiao Li, then pulled out the saber behind him, and said to Qiao Li: "I want to use this knife to be ashamed of Wang Liangxue!" Qiao Li was stunned, he had just noticed Gao Ju's expression, but he didn't expect Gao Ju to be so firm, he patted Gao Ju's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's drink!" ”
