9. Selfishness
Chu Dabao swore to accept it, but Chu He really doubted the credibility of his guarantee.
After all, he has a criminal record, and Chu Zhiwu didn't ask him to stop talking about cultivating the iron sand palm, this guy turned his head and showed off the iron sand palm in front of him.
But Chu He can only temporarily believe in Chu Dabao's promise, and he can hide it for as long as he can.
He put away the Breaking Waves Sword Spectrum, and it didn't take long for him to see a movement outside the courtyard, and it turned out that Chu Zhiwu had returned.
Chu Zhiwu's face was a little pale, with a thick circle of cloth wrapped around his left shoulder, and a little blood was faintly visible, and the martial arts uniform on his body was also damaged in many places.
However, he was carrying a wild boar of more than 200 catties on his shoulder, obviously he had a lot of harvest from this hunt, and such a large steel-toothed wild boar was not easy to hunt.
Entering the courtyard, Chu Zhiwu saw Chu He, was stunned for a moment, put down the steel-toothed wild boar, and smiled at Chu He: "Chu He, why are you here?"
Chu He smiled: "Second uncle, this steel-toothed wild boar is really big, it's worth a lot of money, right?"
Chu Zhiwu smiled: "Well, it is estimated that it can be sold for about 1,000 yuan in the county, but it is hunted with wood and dashi, and the money must be divided among them." ”
The price of meat here is not cheap, like this steel-toothed wild boar, a pound of pork costs at least ten yuan, and more than two hundred pounds of wild boar, even if it is sold to butchers, it can cost more than 1,500 yuan.
Looking at Chu Zhiwu's expression, Chu He knew that he was afraid that he would come to borrow money, so he deliberately said it to Shaoli.
He smiled and said, "Second uncle, in fact, I came here this time because I wanted the second uncle to help." ”
Chu Zhiwu's face changed slightly, and he said, "Chu He, actually...... In fact, the second uncle doesn't have a lot of money, you were injured a few days ago, and I gave your family five hundred dollars......"
He gritted his teeth: "The second uncle wants Dabao to enter the Shangwu Academy to practice martial arts, and this wild boar has been sold for money, I'm afraid it will not be enough." ”
Chu Dabao suddenly snorted and said, "Dad, the second brother didn't come here to borrow money, he has a steel sword." ”
"Steel sword?" Chu Zhiwu was a little confused.
Chu He picked up the steel sword that he had just put aside: "Well, second uncle, it's this sword, anyway, the second uncle is going to the county to sell wild boars, it's better to take me, I want to find a place to sell the steel sword." ”
Chu Zhiwu's attention was on Chu He just now, thinking in his heart how to refuse Chu He's loan, and he naturally didn't notice the steel sword not far away.
At this time, he suddenly gasped, and his eyes looked straight at the steel sword in Chu He's hand: "Where did you come from this sword?"
Chu He smiled: "Second uncle, don't care, anyway, it's not stealing or robbing." If the second uncle takes me to the county seat and sells the steel sword, I can give the second uncle ten taels of silver. ”
It's not Chu He's slamming the door, his money is very useful, and cultivating the Golden Bell Jar costs more money than cultivating the Iron Sand Palm.
And Chu He still has his plan in his heart, and if he can give Chu Zhiwu ten taels of silver, it is still for the sake of everyone who is a relative.
It's just to lead the way, and it's no problem to throw out ten taels of silver, and invite one hundred and eighty strong men.
Chu Zhiwu took the steel sword with a solemn face, stretched out his finger and flicked it on it, and the steel sword made a crisp sound, trembling slightly.
Then Chu Zhiwu waved his hand, the cold light flashed, and a bowl of thick firewood was forcibly split into two pieces by him.
Chu He's eyes narrowed, Chu Zhiwu's strength was still above his estimate, this firewood was not strong, it was broken by Chu Zhiwu's sword, the control of this strength, and the strength of the wrist, was quite amazing.
Such a powerful Chu Zhiwu couldn't even pass the martial arts test, and he couldn't become a martial artist!
It seems that the force value of this world is much higher than I thought.
"It's really a good sword! In the past, when the second uncle was in the Shangwu Academy, the children of the richest families in that township used a steel sword that was far inferior to this steel sword! If the second uncle had this steel sword, it would be much easier to hunt the steel-toothed wild boar. ”
Chu Zhiwu reluctantly handed the steel sword back to Chu He.
Chu He's eyes rolled slightly: "Otherwise, I will send a steel bow or steel gun to the second uncle in the future, but I have one condition." ”
For Chu He, there is no problem at all with the manufacture of steel bows, ordinary carburized steel can meet the needs of the bow body, and it is a big deal to use the double quenching method to enhance the toughness of the bow body, as long as his small blast furnace is made, and the bowstring can be twisted with steel wire.
Although the drawing technique here should not be very good, there should be no problem with thickening the wire.
Such a steel bow has no meaning on the earth, but for the humans here, it is completely feasible, and it is a better choice, after all, any middle-aged person here has more than two hundred catties of strength.
Chu He's choice to cooperate with Chu Blacksmith is naturally not a decision to pat his head, and his future plans will not require a place where Chu Blacksmith will be used.
Chu He was a little unconvinced: "Steel can also make a bow? There is an iron bow, but the bow body cannot be bent, it can only rely on the strength of the bowstring, the power is not good, children just play." ”
"Besides, the steel bow and steel spear from you. ”
Chu He said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't ask, my nephew can get this steel sword, so naturally there is a way to get a steel bow." ”
Chu Zhiwu suddenly couldn't understand this nephew.
But the steel sword is really here, thinking that as long as you take Chu He to the county seat, you can get ten taels of silver, Chu Zhiwu couldn't help but be excited.
With these ten taels of silver, Chu Dabao would have no problem entering martial arts, and the money saved could also buy various medicinal materials to enhance Chu Dabao's strength.
He also knew that if he hadn't been the second uncle of Chu He, there would definitely not have been such a good thing.
However, he still asked with some doubts: "Do you want this steel sword to be sold in the county?"
Chu He shook his head: "Dad went to the county seat to do odd jobs. Mother doesn't know. Second uncle, don't tell my mother yet. The second uncle can rest assured, and the nephew guarantees that this steel sword is completely fine. ”
Chu Zhiwu's mouth opened and closed a few times, but he didn't speak.
He has actually made up all the plots in his mind, Chu He happened to meet a big man who traveled here, and the other party fell in love with Chu He, so he left a steel sword, for those big people, a steel sword is not a precious thing.
Chu He chose to sell the steel sword, saying that it would anger the big man and lose a chance in vain.
But Chu Zhiwu didn't say it in the end, he didn't sell steel swords, and the money he got from there allowed Chu Dabao to go to school and improve his martial arts. Between his nephew and his son, it is normal for Chu Zhiwu to choose his son.
Anyway, the decision to sell the sword was Chu He's own decision, he didn't force Chu He to sell the sword, maybe Chu He had the money to sell the sword, and he could enter a better martial arts academy to practice, and he would have another achievement in the future.
