Chapter 65 The Knife Man on Credit
Mysterious loose knife man, the vendor dressed up the knife really.
Walking through the streets and alleys does not collect gold, and the fulfillment of proverbs is God.
Today is the first day of school, although the winter vacation is not very long, but for me to experience many things, the improvement of medical skills, the loss of the sword blade, the death of the master, etc., all these things, all of these things happened in less than a month, I feel that these experiences of mine can be written into a novel.
My heart is still a little heavy, maybe this is the process of my growth, people have to go through it before they can grow up. When I walked down the street and watched the people coming and going, I noticed that there were many more people than usual, and many parents accompanied their children on the way to school, which made people feel very warm.
Now there is still plenty of time to go to school, I bowed my head and walked alone on the way to school, thinking about my heart, my pace slowed down involuntarily, looking at the crowd of people on the street, I felt a trace of loneliness and loneliness hit my heart.
There were some vendors along the street selling some items, and I looked at them expectantly, passing the boring time during the school day.
When I was about to get to the school gate, I saw a group of people in a circle, and I didn't know what they were doing there, so I approached out of curiosity.
I am relatively tall, through the gap in the crowd just can see inside, in the middle of the crowd there is a stall man, this person looks about forty years old, the eyes are not very big, but there are two cockfighting eyebrows, under the eagle hook nose is a catfish mouth, and then look at his face, the face is full of pimples, the beard is still very thick, this person generally gives me the feeling of one word - ugly!
Then I saw him sitting on the ground, and in front of him there was a piece of oilcloth more than a foot long and three feet wide, and on the oilcloth was filled with kitchen knives and scissors of various styles, and I saw this man holding an object like an allegro in his hand, and he kept tapping, and this man himself beat himself, and sang from his mouth: "The knife is not a knife, and the scissors are not cuts, and the world will go after thirty." Dust to dust, soil to earth, sad desire to turn the dragon roar. A coffin, a handful of soil, come to cry when the bitterness, understand the heavenly machine of this person, obsessed with not to understand the ancient ......"
I listened to what this man sang, and I felt that this seller was very unusual, and after the onlookers listened to his mouth, everyone was also very curious, and someone stepped forward to ask the seller.
It was a man who looked to be in his early sixties, and he asked the seller, "Kitchen knife seller, you have been singing for a long time, let me ask you, are you a kitchen knife seller?" If it's this kitchen knife, how do you sell it? How much does a handful cost? ”
I saw that the seller raised his eyes and glanced at the man, and then lowered his head, grabbed a kitchen knife in his hand at random, and said, "Of course I sell knives!" However, my kitchen knife is not sold for money, only on credit! ”
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and I was a little puzzled, I thought to myself, this seller is a little interesting, the knife is not sold on credit, why is this?
Listening to the crowd of onlookers, the man continued, asking, "What do you mean by only selling on credit?" Don't you need money for this knife? Your knife looks good, is it really white? If so, aren't you trading at a loss? ”
The man with the knife on credit glanced at the crowd of onlookers and said, "Yes, don't need money, white credit, I will give you this knife on credit, and you don't need to pay a deposit." ”
The crowd of onlookers was also talking at this time, some people said that this person was not mentally normal, and some people said that this person was not a liar?
One of them stepped forward and said, "Bai credit, how do you get back the capital?" ”
The man on credit said: "The capital must be collected." ”
Someone else said, "Could it be a thief ......?"
The man with the knife looked at the person who spoke coldly, and said, "Even if I am a thief, I have worked so hard to steal these goods and give them away for nothing, just to do the work of a porter?" The man was slightly embarrassed and avoided his gaze.
The man on credit continued, saying, "But whoever wants my kitchen knife or scissors must sign a note with me, and the content of this note is your name, and at the same time, I say a proverb, when the day comes, you will naturally come to collect the payment." ”
Someone said, "What day is it?" ”
"When everyone is happy and everyone is happy, I will come to collect the payment." ”
Isn't that a good thing for people to hear? Everyone is happy, everyone is happy, what a beautiful society it is, someone in the crowd has stepped forward and randomly selected a kitchen knife, the credit knife man took out a notebook from his arms, and wrote his name in the notebook.
With the first person, there is a second person, so, after a short time, the credit knife man took all the kitchen knives and scissors in front of him on credit, and after that, the credit knife man patted the soil on his body, turned around and left, but when he turned around, he glanced at me and nodded slightly.
Actually, I wanted to catch up with the man with the knife to inquire about the situation, but I was delayed too much time here, because the time for class was approaching, so I had to hurry to the school.
When I first entered the classroom, the bell rang for the morning self-study, Liu Ling had already sat down in her seat, and when she saw me come in and smiled at me with a red face, she lowered her head and pretended to read a book, I could see her nervous demeanor, I shrugged my shoulders and sat down in my seat.
Our homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhuang, also came to the classroom, she stood on the outside of the podium, and did not rush to give us a lesson, but looked around at the students, and said: "Students, the winter vacation has passed, we have ushered in spring, in this moment of recovery, take this opportunity today, I have an expectation for every student, I am full of longing for your future, you are going to find a stronger self, a higher self, to infect and encourage the students around you, Be able to make even greater progress in your studies! At this time, the whole class burst into warm applause, and the class teacher's short words mobilized the learning emotions of the students whose hearts were still flying.
At the end of the day, the students did not show much tiredness, but at the beginning of the second half of the semester, they had to go to evening self-study in the evening, and the students were more or less uncomfortable, but this is a process, and the students will slowly get used to it.
The evening self-study time is nine o'clock in the evening, and many parents have gathered at the school gate, although the current security situation is very good, but parents are still not worried about their children, and they came to the school gate early to wait.
When I walked out of the school gate, I found that the school gate was as lively as it was during the day. I saw Liu Ling's mother at the school gate, it was my aunt who came to pick up Liu Ling in person, I briefly told my aunt at the school gate, about my basic situation during this time, we waved goodbye, I still left the school alone, and walked in the direction of home.
Although there are some pedestrians on the street, however, the night in the north is still a little cold, there are not many pedestrians on the road, not far ahead, the main gate of my community, in front of the main entrance of my community, there is a small street park, there are many people who usually exercise in the morning in this small park, and there are some people dancing in the square dance.
However, when I walked near this small park today, I felt that something was wrong, because I can usually hear the sound of music and singing coming from the park from a long distance, but today there is no movement at all, and the silence is a little weird.
When I walked to the entrance of the street park, I felt a chill in my heart, and I felt a cold breath lingering near me. This was the instinctive reaction of a cultivator, and I immediately became alert and began to mobilize the energy of my physical strength to protect my body.
At this time, I turned on my discerning eyes and looked at the surrounding situation, and I finally found the problem, that is, I am now in a "parallel space", that is, the surrounding scenery and things, which are the same as the space I am actually in, but this space is like a replica existence, like a mirror image, only objects without any life.
Just when I was puzzled, the cold aura became stronger and stronger, and ten meters in front of me, there were bursts of spatial fluctuations, and when the space was distorted and deformed, two people came out of it, a man and a woman.
The man's figure is slender, and his face can be described as stunningly beautiful, such as cherry blossom lips, fair skin, dark and deep eyes, with a charming color, the thick eyebrows, and the high nose, all of which are noble and elegant; The woman's figure is plump, her facial features are exquisite, her face is like a peach blossom, her skin is round and jade, her skin is as powdery as snow, her ice muscles and jade bones are like snow, and her body brings out a quiet natural beauty, I have never seen such an elegant and beautiful girl.
As soon as they appeared, I immediately became alert, because, from the momentum emanating from them, I found that their energy intensity was several levels higher than mine, and it was obvious that my skill was not as good as the other party.
However, there is a saying that the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, since this is already the case, there is no need to worry about anything, it is useless to escape, so I took a few steps forward to the two people in front and asked, "Dare to ask who you are?" Let me enter this 'parallel space', what are your intentions? ”
When I finished asking, I listened to the beautiful man and said: "You are Dong Hyun, right, hehe, let's introduce ourselves first, the two of us are people from the Evil Sky Alliance, my name is Crow, her name is Mei Ji, we are the disciples of Xie Jianniang, the deputy leader of the Alliance, and we came here today to be sent by our master to bring you back to our alliance headquarters, you had better be caught with your hands tied, so as not to suffer for a while." ”
I listened to the crow after speaking, and it was the same as what I thought in my heart, they were really evil people, I said coldly: "Take me back to your headquarters, it's ridiculous, what you alliance people have done, it can already be said that the heavens are angry and resentful, you have turned a good world upside down, and you actually brought aliens to come, vainly trying to occupy the earth, I will not follow your wishes, if you want to take me away, then it depends on your ability!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that the man and the woman on the other side did not hesitate, and drew their weapons from their respective bodies, the crow had a spear in his hand, and Mei Ji had a double knife in his hand, waving it at me and rushing forward.
I don't know anything about martial arts, and I don't have both internal and external cultivation, so I can only mobilize the energy of my whole body, use my energy to turn into a giant palm, and fight with the two of them, and at the same time, run my own defensive shield to the extreme.
In the process of fighting, from time to time by the weapons in the hands of the two of them cut on the body, fortunately my shield is stronger, otherwise I would have been injured, even so, my energy consumption is huge, the whole body has already oozed fine beads of sweat, while fighting while constantly retreating seems to be very difficult, this is the biggest crisis I have encountered since the trip to Huashan.
I was still struggling to support myself, and the two people on the opposite side saw that I had reached the end of the crossbow, and they couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on their faces, so they heard Mei Ji say while fighting: "Haha, Dong Hyun, you better give up, you are not our opponent, no matter how much you resist, it will be in vain!" "At this time, my energy shield began to crumble, and one of them was swept in the back by the crow's spear, and my energy shield also shattered.
I spurted out a mouthful of blood, staggered a few steps, and sat down on the ground, I looked at the two people in front of me with a distracted look, showing a wry smile, and said in my heart: Master, I'm sorry, it seems that I can't fulfill that wish for you, we can only meet in heaven.
I slowly closed my eyes, because I no longer had the slightest strength in my body, so I listened to the man crow, and said, "Mei Ji, quickly lock him up and bring him back to the headquarters, Master and his old man will be very happy, he has a great relationship with that thing, we must be careful." Maggie nodded and walked briskly towards me.
She took out an iron chain from her body out of nowhere, and at the other end of this iron chain, it was a round collar-like thing, and she saw a twisted smile in her mouth, and bent down to put the collar on the other end of the chain on my neck, and suddenly, I seemed to have a feeling that I was about to suffocate, and all the energy flow speed in my body suddenly stopped, and the crow on the opposite side saw that the collar was wrapped around me, he obviously seemed to be relieved, and kept urging in his mouth, saying: "Quick!" Let's get out of here! ”
Mei Ji led me to the crow's side, only to see the crow make a few handprints into the air, chanting a spell in his mouth, in front of them, there were bursts of spatial fluctuations, a small energy teleportation array was about to be generated, it seemed that they were about to teleport out of here.
At this time, I had a desperate look on my face, because I had no chance to escape from their clutches, and could only wait for fate to come.
One of the crow's legs had already entered the teleportation array, and at this moment, the crow and Meiji's bodies shook, and they dodged to both sides, and at the ground where they had dodged, two arrow feathers were nailed to the ground, making two "poof" and "poof" sounds.
The crow and Mei Ji angrily looked in the direction where the arrow feather was launched, about eighty meters away from us, and quickly approached two people, when they stood in front of us, I saw clearly that the person was coming, the same man and a woman, the man was none other than Zhang Mingde, he was still wearing an ancient costume, and he was carrying the Zhanlu sword behind his back.
However, I haven't seen the woman next to him, she is really one, the wind is hairy and her sideburns are exposed, her eyebrows and eyes are springy, her skin is as delicate as warm jade, her cherry mouth is not red and delicate, she is delicate, and the two strands of hair on her cheeks are gently brushed with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and her eyes that rotate flexibly turn wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, a pale green tights, her waist is not full of a hand, so beautiful that she is so flawless, so beautiful that she does not eat the fireworks of the world, in her hand, holding a bow and arrow, There is an arrow bag behind her back, and there are more than a dozen arrow feathers in the arrow bag, and it is estimated that the two arrow feathers just now were shot by her.
However, this woman gave me the same kind of intimacy that I had when I first met Xiao De, I don't know what it was, but it felt very real.
When Xiao De and the two of them appeared in front of the crow and Mei Ji, the crow and the two of them were also vigilant, because with their ability, they didn't find out the arrival of Xiao De and the two in advance, which can only show one problem, that is, Xiao De's ability may be above the two crows.
The crow became cautious, stepped forward and clasped his fists at Xiao De and them, and asked, "I don't know what the two friends mean, please don't meddle in your affairs, I'm afraid it won't be good for you, we are members of the alliance." The threat in the raven's tone was full.
When Xiao De heard them say this, he burst out laughing and said, "Hehe, are you called Crow and Mei Ji, your status in the Evil Sky Alliance is not low, the deputy alliance leader Xie Jianniang is your master, I'm right." After speaking, Xiao De looked at their expressions.
The crow's face showed anger, a little impatient, and said, "You know who we are, and you dare to come against us, you really don't want to live!" Tell me! Who are you! The crow's expression was hideous at this time, because he knew that it would be bad for them to delay like this, and he was ready to solve it quickly.
Xiao De did not answer the crow's question directly, but said a poem from Xiao De's mouth and chanted:
Yunmeng people in Yunmeng Mountain, sword Zhan Lubu Daoren.
In the golden light cave in Qianyuan Mountain, Xuanyuan arrows are brave and traceless.
The twins are combined to frighten the ghosts and gods, and the heavens and men are united to protect the body.
Righteousness goes to life and death, and the right way is invisible and true.
When Xiaode finished singing, he saw the crow and Mei Ji both of them were shocked, and couldn't help but take two steps back, Mei Ji said in surprise: "You, you, are you Zhang Mingde and Li Mengyu, who are known as 'twin stars' in Kunlun Mountain?" ”
I sat on the ground, looking at the expressions of the two of them, and knew that Xiaode and the girl named Li Mengyu must not be simple, otherwise they would not just report their names, and the crows would fall backwards.
At this time, Xiao De had already pulled out the sword behind his back, pointed the sword at the crow and the two of them, and said, "Since you know the name of our 'Twin Stars', do you still want to fight us?" As long as you keep Xiaohyun, I'll let you go today, how about it? At this time, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became tense.
When the crow on the other side heard this, he also knew that tonight's things could not be good, so he gave Mei Ji a look and motioned for her to take me first, and at the same time, the crow stepped forward and said, "Then we will only have to fight for the high and low!" Of course, Mei Ji understood what the crow meant, so when the crow spoke, she kept retreating, but how could Xiaode give the crow a chance to escape.
Xiao De said one word in his mouth: "Up!" Be careful! I saw Xiaode and Li Mengyu rushing towards the crow and Meiji respectively, so that the two sides fought together.
I sat on the ground and watched their fierce fight, although I couldn't help Xiao De and them, but my heart kept hanging with their fight, because whether Xiao De and they could defeat the crows directly determined my freedom, so my heart should be nervous at all times.
Although the fight between Xiaode and Crow was fierce, but the two of them couldn't tell the winner for a while, the two of them could be said to be equal, looking at Li Mengyu and Meiji here, Li Mengyu had some upper hand at first, the reason was that Meiji had to deal with her with one hand, and her other hand was still holding the chain, and after fighting for a while, she found that it couldn't be done, so she simply threw the chain aside and concentrated on fighting with Li Mengyu.
However, it also gave me an opportunity, and although I was now at the end of my crossbow, I still had some strength left, and my hands reached for the collar around my neck, intending to remove it from my neck, but no matter how hard I pulled it, no matter how hard I tried, I could not untie it, and in my eyes it was just a simple lock, and in the end I was sweating profusely.
I had to settle for the next best thing, moving my body away from the battlefield, and now I could only crawl a little because the chains attached to the collar were too heavy.
The small actions on my side, at the same time, attracted the attention of the people on both sides in the fight, and the crows also deliberately guided the battlefield of the fight in the direction of my side, so I have always been in the center of their fight, I saw it in my eyes, and I also understood that these actions of mine were a waste of physical strength, so I simply stopped acting and watched their fight intently.
In my eyes, as time went by, the situation on the field began to become clear, Xiao De's sword, dancing like flying, guarding his body, there seemed to be a brilliant curtain of light in front of and behind him, and from time to time stabbing at the crow with a fatal sword, so that the crow on the opposite side was tired to deal with.
Looking at Li Mengyu's side, although it was a bow and arrow, the fight with Mei Ji did not fall behind at all, and during the use of body dodge, mixed with the release of cold arrows, Mei Ji couldn't use it, which was very uncomfortable.
The balance of victory is now tilting more and more towards us, as if I see hope, and my heart is constantly cheering for Xiaode and them.
Of course, the crows also knew that if they continued like this, their mission would definitely end in failure, and at this time, the corners of the crow's mouth showed a look of determination, and he shouted to Mei Ji, "The second plan!" ”
When the crow finished shouting, Mei Ji in the fight, threw out a long knife in one hand, and stabbed me quickly in the chest, such a change was something that Xiaode and Li Mengyu never expected, but it was too late to save me, I could only watch me being pierced through my body by the long knife, and I was also stunned by everything that happened at this moment.
At this time, I closed my eyes and waited for death to come. When it was too late, I heard a metal collision in my ears, and it was a crisp sound that could be made, "Boom!" My eardrums hurt, I covered my ears and slowly opened my eyes.
I saw a kitchen knife stuck in the ground not far in front of me, and Mei Ji's long knife had fallen to the ground.
Seeing that it didn't succeed in killing me, the crow frowned, and his mouth was a little impatient, and said, "Who is it?" Sneaky come out for me! As soon as the words fell, I saw a person behind a big tree not far away, and when I saw this person, my eyes widened again, isn't this the "credit knife man" in the morning!
As soon as this man came out, he held his allegro in his hand, laughed and sang to the beat, and said: "The knife can be a knife, a very knife, and the knife cuts all the injustices; Scissors can be cut, very cut, cut the unrighteous people in the world. ”
Xiao De and the others did not speak first when they looked at the comer, but the crows on the opposite side gritted their teeth and said, "Who are you?" Why bad things like me, do you know who we are! ”
The knife on credit said: "Haha, I'm just a passerby, but I have a problem, I'm in charge of the injustice of the world, I can't see you bullying a child, so I can't look at it, so I made a move." ”
The crow said, "So you have to take care of this idle matter?" ”
The knife on credit said: "Yes, it's done!" ”
The crows did not hesitate, so they stepped forward and fought with Xiaode and them again, but this time with the addition of the credit knife man, the battlefield situation was one-sided to our side, and suddenly, Mei Ji didn't pay attention, and was slapped on the back by the credit knife man, Mei Ji She spurted out a mouthful of blood, and kept retreating, the crow saw it in his eyes, and knew that tonight's mission was a complete failure, and he didn't procrastinate, jumped out of the battle circle, picked up Mei Ji and turned around and ran towards the spatial fluctuations, and the few people present just symbolically chased after him, I let them go, because I was the focus of the fight, and they turned around and walked towards me.
Xiao De came to my side, looked at the chain on my body, raised the Zhan Lu sword in his hand and chopped it down, only to hear the sound of "Qiang", the chain was broken into two, I can stand up, Xiao De glanced at the collar around my neck again, the Zhan Lu sword approached, when it was close to the collar, with a gentle rub of the sword, the collar was broken in half, Li Mengyu put away the chain and collar that fell on the ground, these are rare good materials.
Xiaode helped me stand up, and the three of us walked in front of the "credit knife man", clasped our fists and saluted, and I said to the man: "Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue, the kid is unforgettable, please leave a name, in order to report it in the future." ”
The man with the credit knife smiled slightly, and said: "I was originally a loose cultivator, called Lu Teng, and your master Jueming is a close friend, I have also heard about Jueming's death, and I am very sad in my heart, but I heard that he has a disciple who is very good, therefore, I came to see you on a whim, and sure enough, the blue is better than the blue, I didn't expect you to be really good, your master did not choose the wrong disciple, haha..."
When I heard that Lu Teng's senior and my master were close friends, I immediately stepped forward and knelt on his knees and saluted him again.
Lu Teng stepped forward to pick me up, and said with a smile: "Boy, you have to be more careful in the future, now people on both sides are paying attention to you, so you have to step up your cultivation, and you will have the power to protect yourself in the future, I can't stay here for a long time, let's meet again!" Leave! ”
Before I could say anything more, Lu Teng's figure had slowly disappeared in place, I looked at the place where he disappeared, in a daze, and Xiaode on the side said: "Hey, these hermit masters are all temperamental, just leave, don't worry about him." ”
I came back to my senses, remembered something, looked at the girl named Li Mengyu next to Xiaode, and asked Xiaode: "Xiaode, who is this girl?" "What do you say? Feeling unfamiliar? Xiao De winked at me, and I seemed to suddenly understand something!
Is this Li Mengyu be, I blurted out "Xiao Yu?" ”……
