Chapter 14: Compare Again
"Let's cut paper. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The little beggar said and took out another roll of paper from the box, spread it out, and the paper turned out to be a long strip, about a foot wide, and a paper path five or six meters long.
Everyone wondered what this little beggar was going to do.
After the little beggar finished laying the paper, he walked to the center of the crowd and said, "Fellow villagers, I am very happy today, I have finally met a master after walking for so long, and I am fortunate to be able to learn from him." First, I came to eat a meal, and on the other hand, I also wanted to win the knife back. Speaking of which, this knife has been with me for a while, and life is forced to take it out to sell the craft, which is really reluctant, and I hope you don't laugh. ā
The crowd burst out laughing.
The little beggar walked up to the young man and said: "The rules of the game are very simple, there is a six-meter-long paper road here, you and I cut a knife on it, we must cut the knife from the beginning to the end, the middle knife can not leave the paper, as long as either side cuts more than two layers of paper, it is considered to lose, as long as the layer of paper is not broken, it is also considered to lose." ā
"What if you lose?" The young man asked.
"Another knife for you, too. But if you lose, give me back the knife. ā
"That's not fair, you're at a loss." The young man disagreed.
"No, don't make a mistake, now this knife is yours, and we're all betting on our own knives, which is fair."
Nangong Ming admires the integrity and forbearance of the little beggar from the bottom of his heart. Just now the scoundrel came to grab the knife, the little beggar did not have any mercy on his counterattack, and the young man won the knife according to the rules set by the little beggar, the little beggar must be very distressed, after all, the connoisseur paid such a high price He resolutely refused to sell, but there was no complaint, watching the young man take the knife away, if it wasn't for the young man who returned the knife without authorization, and regarded the little beggar's beloved thing as a mustard, he should not have issued a war letter.
Although the young man did not take off his mask and could not see his face clearly, there was an approving look in his eyes.
"Beautiful! I really lost today and I don't regret it. He said.
"To be fair, we use the same knife, cut on the same piece of paper, and flip a coin to decide who comes first." The beggar took a coin out of his pocket, and the young man chose a flower.
The little beggar walked up to Nangong Ming, put the coin in the palm of his hand, stretched it out in front of Nangong Ming, and said, "Can I ask you to be a referee?" ā
Nangong Ming was apprehensive for a moment, agreed, took the coin, asked Tian Xia to take care of the oil drum on his behalf, walked to the side of the paper road, held the coin to signal to everyone that it was not adulterated, and then put the coin on the thumb of his right hand, and with a flick of his thumb, the coin made a crisp sound and threw it straight into the air.
"Smack!" Nangong Ming caught the coin, removed the palm above, and the coin in the palm of his hand was displayed in front of everyone, with the numbers facing up, and the little beggar went first.
The little beggar took the knife from the young man's hand and walked to the end of the paper path, which was laid on the ground, and the little beggar had to bend down to reach it. In this position, even walking backwards on the sand with a short stick in his hand is very laborious, and the lines drawn are uneven, not to mention that now he can only cut through a thin layer of paper with a short knife.
When Nangong Ming saw the knife, he had a feeling that a knife was so sharp that it seemed that it was not the blade that was cutting, but a layer of knife qi on the outer surface of the knife body that could not be seen by the human eye.
The little beggar was ready at this time, and to Nangong Ming's surprise, the little beggar did not bend down or squat down, and the knife did not lean against the paper. Everyone was wondering what this little beggar was going to do.
"Referee, can you start?" The little beggar suddenly turned around and asked, Nangong Ming was startled, he didn't know that he had to shout to start, and hurriedly said, "Eh, okay, I count one, two, three, and you can start." One, two, three! ā
As soon as the words fell, the little beggar jumped up in the exclamation of the crowd, his feet upright and upside down, his hands firmly propped on both sides of the paper road, and the knife was bitten by him, and the tip of the knife was pointed downward, piercing the paper.
[What a joke! Nangong Ming couldn't believe it.
I saw that the little beggar's two hands seemed to be close to the ground, moving forward quickly, the fast people next to him could not see his hand shadow clearly, in a blink of an eye, the little beggar had reached the other end of the paper road, the whole process was done in one go, there was no chance to breathe, everyone saw in their eyes, their hearts went straight to their throats, and the little beggar slowly turned back, patted the dirt on his hands, and wiped the knife handle with his clothes, and handed it to the young man, everyone eased up, and the applause was thunderous. This kind of charlatan performance is not something that can be seen at any time!
Nangong Ming thought that the little beggar would use his hands, but he didn't expect the little beggar's method to be even more incredible, because he bit the handle of the knife with his mouth, and he had to move quickly on the ground upside down, to be steady, at this moment it is not only the hands that must be stable, from the spine, to the bite of the mouth muscles, and the entire body upside down in the air, it must be coordinated seamlessly, as long as there is a little shaking, the whole stack of paper is either pierced or broken, and there is no need to compare.
I don't know how many terrifying skills are hidden in this little beggar, Nangong Ming really sweated for the young man, the little beggar obviously came prepared, showing such a hand is in a sense to give the young man a deterrent, please retreat.
To Nangong Ming's surprise, the young man took the knife without hesitation, he put his hand in his trouser pocket and took out a bag of napkins.
What is he going to do? Nangong is puzzled.
The young man took out a napkin, wrapped the handle of the knife, walked to the end of the paper path unhurriedly, stood up, turned back to Nangong Ming and said, "Referee, can you start?" ā
[Why do you come up with this trick?] Nangong Ming was very helpless, and it felt really uncomfortable to let others call him.
"Ready, one, two, three!" Nangong Ming gave an order, and the young man made a move that everyone didn't expect.
The young man bit the handle of the knife in his mouth, jumped up, and stood upside down on the ground imitating the movements of the little beggar, and then completely imitated the movements of the little beggar, and even the closing style was the same as the little beggar. The audience erupted in warm applause and screams again, and this was no longer a vegetable market, but the performance scene of a temporary acrobatic troupe.
The two of them finished playing, and all that remained was for the referee to do. The knife marks on the left are those of a young man, and those of a young beggar on the right. Nangong Ming asked the two onlookers to pick up the two pieces of paper on the top layer of the ground, and when they took the top layer of paper, there was no doubt that the paper was divided into three strips, and the fractures were neat and straight, as if they were cut out by a machine.
The key is the second piece of paper, in order to prevent mistakes, a mark was made on the corner of Nangong's famous paper, and the results showed that this mark was redundant. Nangong Ming asked the two enthusiastic uncles to hold the paper, he hid in the shadow of the paper, and looked carefully at the dazzling sun boy for a long time, but he didn't see any loopholes, not even a slight scratch.
Although no one wanted to believe in their hearts that someone in the world could do it when the results were announced, the paper was indeed there as clean as new. It's incredible!
So who's winning and who's losing now? Nangong Ming couldn't make up his mind, was the perfect imitator stronger or the perfect imitator stronger?
"Shall we have another competition?" The little beggar proposed, "This time you will come up with the question." ā
The young man's attitude towards the little beggar has changed since he saw the little beggar cutting the paper upside down, and he was amazed by the little beggar's martial arts from the bottom of his heart, and he was also ignited with fighting spirit.
The young man readily agreed. He thought for a moment and said, "It's better than cutting paper, but you have to ask someone to help." ā
The little beggar asked, "How do you compare?" ā
The young man smiled mysteriously and walked over to the two uncles who had just helped to lift the paper.
