Medicine King Chapter 03 - Night Grinding Dagger
Wang Jin continued: Reform and opening up, Grandpa Deng said to let a few people get rich first. Who those few are, I don't know. Not me anyway. However, the national policy is that a few people get rich first. Does the word "first" mean first and second? That means that we, the poor, will have to get rich sooner or later. You are old, and you are not happy to give me your granddaughter, don't you dislike my father for his death, and the family is poor? You have to believe in the party, believe in the country! Soon, in the near future, I will be rich. But when the time comes, your precious granddaughter will be an old girl. If you still don't agree, you don't trust the party, and the country will be disappointed in you.
The more Uncle Cao listened, the more wrong he became, and he only left one cruel remark: You woolen (Sichuan vernacular), you have learned some outsiders in the past few years. In the world, what is not done by yourself. Everything is waiting for the country, so the country owes you? By the way, in the first few years, you, Ergouzi, and Sanbao went out together. Sanbao came back two years ago. I have been working at the toll station on the national highway for more than a year, and now I am taking the lead in warehousing for the logistics company in our township, and I didn't ask in detail. Mo said that the houses in the village had been renovated, and the township had bought houses, and from time to time he drove a car to pick up his father to live in the township. Let me ask you, why don't you say that others have the ability, but you actually say that you are difficult?
It's good not to mention this, when it comes to the Three Treasures, it's like a knife hitting Wang Jin's heart. Wang Jin's heart was about to drip blood, Abba Cao didn't notice the change in the expression on Wang Jin's face, and saw Wang Jin bowing his head and saying nothing, thinking that his words had moved the baby. But the baby's father is gone, and the family background is really not good, so he won't say it anymore, just say: You are busy! I went on my own.
Wang Jin came back to his senses, walked to the west of the courtyard, looked at the newly built western-style building of the Sanbao family from a distance, and muttered silently: When I come back this time, the most important thing is to do you.
Wang made dinner, and the mother and son ate together. Wang found that he was fine in the afternoon, why was this doll so worried at night? But I don't know where to start. Wang Jin is still talking and laughing on the surface, but in fact, there is something in his heart, can this be hidden from your mother?
After the meal, Wang Jin was tired and went back to the house early to sleep. Closed the door and lay on the bed, the whole person went soft.
The night in the mountains is exceptionally cold, but also exceptionally quiet. The sporadic sound of firecrackers reached Wang Jin's ears. Come to think of it, there are still people reuniting at such a late hour. As the so-called few happy and some sad, Wang Jin actually lost sleep.
Tossing until midnight, Wang Jin simply sat up and saw the tattered backpack on the ground at a glance. It was used by the people in the city and thrown away when they were old. I squatted next to the dumpster for half a night, picking it up when no one was around. It was once a dream of a person to have a laptop backpack on his shoulder! This ~ is incomprehensible in the eyes of many people. But for people in this poor place, this is true. So, Wang Jin has special feelings for this bag.
He opened his backpack and took out a pile of Grandpa Mao, counting them one by one. It was five years of wandering outside, and the little savings he had left, only 6,000 yuan. After thinking about the days ahead, it was not enough to spend.
Take out the phone, because the battery is aging, it needs to be charged frequently before it can play. Anyway, it can still be used, and Wang Jin has never replaced it. While charging, Wang Jin took out a rectangular gift box from the bottom of the backpack. From the outside, you can tell that the contents inside are quite valuable.
Wang Jin opened it, and inside was a dagger called the "Rambo Jungle Saber". There are rows of serrations on one side, and a sharp cold light on the other.
Wang Jin grew up in the mountains since he was a child, went up to the mountains to hunt, and went into the water to fish. When I was working in the city, the young small boss who was engaged in construction project contracting once showed it off to his group of buddies.
When he saw this knife for the first time, Wang Jin fell in love with it to the bones. He once checked on the Internet, and a domestic imitation cost 2,500 yuan. It is said that this knife was brought in from abroad by the small boss, what is the "collector's edition".
On the day of his resignation, the little boss didn't say a good word to Wang Jin and Ergouzi. Not to mention that there is no year-end bonus, even the last month's salary is shirked left and right!
Seeing that the train tickets were about to expire, Ergouzi finally discussed with Wang Jin, so let's go quickly. Wang Jin felt that he couldn't afford to be cheap, so he "took the sheep" and brought the knife with him before leaving. That kid has a lot of good things, and it is estimated that this knife is gone, and he can't remember it in his life.
When they arrived at the train station, Wang Jin and Ergouzi thought of a question! Can you take this thing on train?
Coincidentally, the side is full of Sichuan villagers who have gone home. Everyone is an authentic local accent, and four of them are from the next village in the township. Everyone is of the same age, so they can't help but get acquainted.
Wang Jin showed the knife to a few new friends. One of the knowledgeable people said: This is a valuable gift. Train consignment can be done for a little money. You just can't take it with you. Wang Jin made a difficulty, he didn't have many things in total, they were all bits and pieces. Someone came up with an idea, anyway, they all got off at one stop, and everyone gathered all the bulky things together and checked them together. It is convenient to move in the car, and they are all people from the same township when they get on the bus, and they get together and just chat.
Everyone said yes, so they checked their luggage and carried this gift box, which was a great favor to Wang Jin.
At this moment, Wang Jin looked at the cold dagger in his hand, curious about how sharp it is, what to try? Thinking of the slingshot I played with since I was a child, the rubber band is made of buffalo tendons, which is full of toughness. I just don't know where my mother received it.
Fortunately, the room was not big, and finally it was found under the bed, in a rotten wood box.
There were some in the box, broken army leather shoes, bamboo baskets and some shabby books left by Wang Jin's father.
Wang Jin has seen it since he was a child, and he has never paid attention to it, so he picked up these books with crisp covers. It lit up slightly: there were some traditional characters in the book, and I didn't know what was written. I didn't have time to look at it, so I threw the pair of broken books into the box. I only took out my favorite slingshot.
This slingshot was made by a mountain peach tree fork, and it was made by Wang Jin's grandfather for his grandson. Wang Jin's grandfather was called the "King of Living Medicine" by the people of ten miles and eight towns.
In Wang Jin's impression, grandfather Wang Yun was full of red light, a long beard, and was as naughty as a half-sized boy in his eighties.
Once took Wang Jin to secretly go up the mountain to hunt pheasants, at that time his grandfather was 90 years old, and he was just 6 years old and in the first grade of primary school.
I didn't encounter pheasants along the way, and my grandfather took him farther and farther, straight into the deep mountains and old forests. Caught up with the torrential rain in the mountains, my grandfather drilled the woods on his back and found a cave to shelter from the rain. I still remember that time my grandfather said a lot to myself: what, everything in the world and the earth is good and bad, there are positive and negative, high and low, and so on!
I only remember that my grandfather was roasting rabbit meat at the time, and I thought about eating it myself. I told my grandfather: Grandpa, grandpa, I don't understand what you said!
Wang Yun made a straight face: What~ You can't remember, but you have to remember what grandpa said just now! You repeat one side, what I said.
Wang Jin blinked, muttered, and thought for a long time: What things in the world and the earth, there are good and bad, long and short, huh...... Well...... That's probably what it means. Anyway, coaxing grandpa to be happy, the rabbit meat was eaten in the end.
Since then, Wang Jin has fallen in love with hunting. Because of hunting in the mountains, he was caught by Wang Jin's father Wang Fu many times by skipping school, but he never beat Wang Jin once because of this.
The rain in the mountains comes and goes as fast as it goes. Remember to wait for the rain to stop. Grandpa bluntly said that he wanted bad things.
Carrying Wang Jin to his home. When I went down, it was dark and I couldn't see anything! Wang Jin also asked his grandfather, what do you rely on to walk, so many branches, potholes, why do you seem to be able to see?
Grandpa told him that no matter how dark it was, the hounds would find their way home. In the future, when you grow up, I will change your "dog nose".
Wang Jin clearly remembered that he said at that time: Don't, don't, if you change your nose, you will bleed, I'm afraid of pain!
Grandpa just laughed. In the end, the place 5 miles away from Yaowang Valley was greeted by the villagers. It turned out that Wang Jin's father thought that his father had an accident with his son. Don't look at grandpa is so good to him, but he is very strict with his father. Dad sometimes shivered when he saw grandpa, which is not an exaggeration at all!
Grandpa often seemed to say to the people in the village: I am a foot doctor, when have I ever been afraid of mistakes? Those who accumulate virtue and do good deeds are protected by the Dharma Protector around them, and you can't see them.
Looking at the slingshot and dagger under the lamp, Wang Jin didn't know when he came back to his senses, it was already the middle of the night. He pulled the slingshot, and the cow tendon hadn't touched it for many years, but he didn't expect it to be still full of elasticity. So, I made a knife cut on the joint. With a "snap", the knife cut off a small section of the buffalo tendon, and there was no need to exert effort at all, which shows how sharp this knife is. Then I thought: If it comes up on the neck of the Three Jewels for a while, then ......
