The old man and the second uncle had a casual lunch at Lin Hongzhi's house, and Lin Hongzhi's body still needed to rest, so he didn't go downstairs.

The night before, it was too spicy, and the asshole was still sparking, so I ate two bites of vegetarian food casually, and sat in the living room to eat the haode fruit that had been prepared for a long time.

After more than half an hour, Hua Xia walked to the living room with a glass of water, sat on the sofa, squinted and said, "I know that you kid can't hold his breath, and I can't wait to see what the dagger you brought out from that secret passage is worth." ”

Huaxia Nagua Wazi likes to guess what people are thinking all day long, but this time he really guessed wrong, and he was really worried about the dagger, but now he really doesn't have the heart to think about those things. The old man came to Chengdu from his hometown in a hurry, and he didn't say anything to me about the cold. This is not the character of my old man, when I used to have time to go back to my hometown, he always said a long sentence on the left and a short sentence on the right, and it was impossible to change sex when he arrived in the provincial capital. He must have something on his mind, and he's thinking about what to say to me.

Lin Hongyuan and the old man ate a meal longer than the one in the same place, a full two hours. His brothers haven't seen each other for so many years, and they will have a lot to say, but they haven't seen them talk about anything at the dinner table. Just keep sandwiching the dishes and clinking glasses of dry wine. I thought to myself, don't they all have to talk to communicate?

After Huaxia's aunt cleaned up the table, she went upstairs with Lu Jieyu to take care of Lin Hongzhi. Uncle Shi came to the living room, sat on the sofa, looked sideways at me and said, "Uncle Shi, let's light a cigarette for Uncle Shi!" ”

Uncle Shi took a toothpick and shaved his teeth, and the cigarette holder I lit for him lit on the ashtray, and after a while, he took out the haode dagger wrapped in cloth from his waist, shook it in his hand, and said, "Nephew, this thing is a good thing!" ”

I really don't want to know how much this thing is worth, I just want to know where it came from. Speaking of curiosity, curiosity kills cats, and the big problem in my life is that I am too curious. Originally, I thought that Lin Hongzhi's matter should be over, but since I got this dagger, I have always felt that it is definitely not as simple as it seems. I guess it's just been erased by the years, hoping that one day it will be restored to its original appearance, and maybe it will also add a treasure to the national museum, but this can only be imagined.

Uncle Shi picked up a cigarette from the ashtray and took a puff, and said to my old man: "Senior brother, your son has a lot of opportunities!" After looking around at the crowd, he said, "Come out and have a look." ”

Our group followed Lin Hongyuan to the backyard, if there is something to say in the living room, the wind in Chengdu is close to winter, blowing over wet, a little biting, so I have to run to this backyard to drink the wind. Before I could come back to my senses, Uncle Shi waved a dagger and slashed at the rockery. Suddenly, Huaxia and I were stupid.

The knife was slashed down, the dagger was unharmed, the corner of the rockery was split alive, and the stones fell into the pool and smashed into the water. My eyes were about to pop out, but the surprise was still behind, the "rust" dirt on the surface of the dagger cracked like a walnut shell, and shattered to the ground with a "pop", finally revealing the original face of the dagger.

I took the dagger from my uncle's hand and looked at it carefully. The blade of the dagger emitted a cold light, and it looked much thinner and smaller than when Hua Xia first discovered it, and there was a bloodletting groove on each side of the blade twisted and hovered on it, like a dragon. The sharpness of my fingers slashed at the blade of the knife and made my heart tremble. Immediately plucked a hair from Huaxia's head and threw it into the air, and then waved the dagger in his hand into the void, and the hair broke into two as soon as it touched the blade.

Hua Xia covered his head and shouted: "Your turtle son pulls my hair" was only halfway through the words, looking at the scene in front of him, he swallowed the words that the other half didn't say back out of his stomach. Spit out a few words again: "Mom, pull a!" Blowing hair and breaking hair! ”

Uncle Shi raised his hand and waved it, and said with a natural look: "Don't be in a hurry to be surprised. Then he looked at Hua Xia with a slight smile and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your kid majored in ancient Chinese history in college, right?" ”

Huaxia nodded, and Uncle Shi continued: "Lai Hua, your father usually likes to read those miscellaneous books when he has nothing to do, and the official history and wild history are all accepted as ordered, and among several senior brothers, he is the one who can talk to me the most." He knows this thing best, so he'll teach you a lesson! ”

Lai Zongming is my father, I have known him since I was born, almost 30 years. I've never heard anyone say that he likes to read books and play mahjong, and that's true. But what the old man said next really made me feel that there was no shame in being his son.

The old man shook his eyebrows, walked around the rockery pond twice, and then said slowly: "You guys should listen to a story." According to legend, during the Warring States Period, there was a couple who cast a pair of swords, named Ganjiang, Mo Xie. This is also the name of the husband and wife, you should know, but what you don't know is that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo and used a short knife, called the Seven Star Knife, which was from the hands of the husband and wife. According to some wild histories, the flying stone fell into the territory of the Chu State and was obtained by his husband and wife, in addition to casting two famous swords, but also casting a short knife, which is the Seven Star Knife. Actually, it's not right, the rest of the flying stones are cast two, a short knife and a dagger. It's just that before this dagger could be named, he and his wife returned to heaven. However, this second one is also very famous, you should have heard the story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, and the dagger used by Jing Ke is actually this one. After Jing Ke's death, this dagger was obtained by King Yingzheng of Qin. Because the king of Qin was frightened by this sudden assassination at that time, although the assassin was captured, but he still had palpitations, and he got drunk all night, muttering to himself with a dagger, saying something I don't know, but this dagger got its name from "snatching the soul". After King Qin died, this dagger disappeared, and the cold light emitted from this guy's body was not the light of the dagger itself at all, but the evil qi. Looking at it like this, there are hundreds of lives at the forefront. ”

The old man finished these words in one breath, without taking a breath halfway. From the backyard to the living room. I poured the old man a glass of water and let him take a sip. The old man asked my uncle slowly: "Senior brother, do you see if I am right, I am ugly in front of you." ”

Uncle Shi spread his hands, I put this "snatching" in the palm of his hand, he held it, and sighed: "After a lifetime of ancient exams, I haven't been lucky enough for a few little babies like you, and I will bring out an old object of more than 2,000 years when I go out." I've lived most of my life in vain. Senior brother, you're not wrong at all, it's the Hidden Blade. ”

The year is eight or nine anyway, but if you want to say that this thing is the cadre, Mo Xie cast, I really don't believe it! Let's not talk about this general, whether the two Mo Xie and the "soul-snatching" exist or not, but they can't just look at this dagger and see that it is extremely sharp, so they can say that it is the murder weapon that Jing Ke used to kill King Qin back then. The scalpel in the doctor's hand is very sharp, is it all a snatch? But if the doctor's scalpel hand is not used well, it will really be ruined. The shape of this dagger is not as good as my watermelon knife, except that it is sharper, I really can't see anything particularly precious about it.

Uncle Shi handed the dagger back to me and said, "If you can pick up this thing, it can be regarded as a fate with it, and you happen to have a few handy guys, so you can take good care of it!" This thing is brought on the body, and ordinary cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have to retreat when they see it. Just a few of us know about this matter, don't show it off if you have nothing to do, you should understand the truth that wealth is not exposed. In particular, I can't let my eldest brother know about this, he is old, and he still has some bureaucratic habits, if he knows that you have a national treasure, you have to hand it over to the state. How did he know that once this thing entered the museum, it would lose some popularity, and it wouldn't be long before it would be scrapped. It's better to let your lucky little guy take it with you and get rid of the demons. Let the aura of heaven and earth nourish it. ”

When such a valuable thing comes into my hands, should I take it home and offer it to a shrine? Thinking so in my heart, I immediately put this "snatching" hidden blade on the waistband of my trousers, and my clothes were tightly covered, so I was relieved. The old man's eyes have been staring at my waist, and he has never left, and his saliva is about to flow out.

I asked Uncle Shi with some curiosity: "What's the matter with the word 'hatred' on the handle of the knife?" ”

"The handle and the blade of the knife are not from the same person's hand, and the age is different, but it is not long, only a few hundred years or so. As for the word 'hatred', I really don't know, after all, whoever gets something likes to put a stamp on it or something. Uncle Shi said helplessly.

Hua Xia squeezed to my side, put his arm on my shoulders and said, "Laizi, the two of us have already agreed last night, if this thing is still worth something, you must compensate me." What do you think? This thing is not as simple as being worth money now, priceless treasure, my God, if you don't give me a hundred and eighty thousand, it will never erase the pain of my brushing shoulders with this treasure. ”

I pushed him away and said, "Huaxia, why did you talk one by one?" You don't want to start a company at all, and become a poet instead, in this case, it's easier for you to be a sister. ”

I also wanted to continue to ask my uncle some questions, but the old man slapped me on the back of the head and said, "Where is so much nonsense, get out of the way, you won't let your uncle take a break." You guys find a place to cool down first, I still have business to talk about with your uncle. ”

I exited the living room with Huaxia in a funny way, and just walked to the gate, I happened to meet Lu Jieyu who had just come downstairs. Seeing her worried, she couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing with a sad face?" The money has fallen? ”

"Li Baoguo ran away!"
