Chapter 14: The Giant Ruler

As night fell, the town gradually dimmed as if it was slowly covered by a light veil! Hundreds of candles flickering on the town's only green brick street reflected each other......

The streets began to be crowded with pedestrians, most of whom had just finished dinner, taking advantage of the evening breeze to breathe, and mischievous children circling around the vendors, as if having a beautiful lantern meant owning the world. The adults were much calmer, nodding and greeting each other at most, only Ye Qiqi, who was dressed in red, was not so quiet, jumping and running, sometimes stopping for a lotus leaf lantern, sometimes because of a string of pearls, being full of saliva by sugar gourds, and frowning slightly because of the dark fragrance of rouge gouache.

The happiest person in the whole street except for the children is Ye Qiqi, but the most unlucky thing is Liu Qiqi who was pulled by Ye Qiqi and ran all over the street, but Liu Qiu did not complain, quietly followed behind, and was occasionally seduced by the chaos of the fragrance on the street, even after eating.

"Qiqi, I want to borrow some more money from you" At Ye Qiqi's strong request, Liu Qiu finally called Ye Qiqi Qiqi Qiqi with a twist.

"You won't be hungry, will you?" Ye Qiqi turned his head and asked playfully

"I'm full, I just want to buy a weapon to take advantage of!" Liu Qiu explained

From the moment Liu Ye fell in front of his eyes, a weapon in his hand has always been Liu Qiu's unrelieved wish. It's okay to fight with ordinary humans, but it's taboo for ordinary people to fight against ferocious beasts with bare hands. So last night, Liu Qiu hated his own incompetence, and complained that he didn't prepare a weapon in advance, and the improvement of his own strength should not be rushed, but a weapon is a top priority, after all, the trip to Xiluan City is dangerous.

"Okay!" Ye Qiqi replied with an eyebrow

There is only one blacksmith shop in the town, since it is rumored that the demon clan is about to move, the residents of the town are all in danger, so the blacksmith shop, which has been doing light business, has been doing business recently, and pedestrians will go to walk around, and soon Liu Qiu and Ye Qiqi came to the blacksmith shop, and the one who struck the iron was a middle-aged uncle, with a smile on his face.

"You two want to get a weapon?"

"Yes, uncle, take out all the good weapons in your shop, this woman will take a look," Ye Qiqi replied

"I'm sorry, our store hasn't stocked up recently, so it can only be customized. The boss said apologetically

"How long does it take to order?" Liu Qiu hurriedly asked

"It will take three days at the earliest," the boss thought for a moment

"Then forget it!" Liu Qiu looked disappointed

"Boss, what is this!" Taking advantage of the boss's inattention, Ye Qiqi sneaked into the house behind the blacksmith shop, pointing to the items in the corner and greeting the boss.

The boss walked into the store after hearing the sound, and Liu Qiu also followed the boss in, there was only a flickering candle in the room, and Ye Qiqi stood beautifully in the dusty corner.

The boss glanced into the corner and said, "Is the girl referring to that piece of black iron?"

"Yes, it looks like a big sword, and you see there's a grip" Ye Qiqi asked

The boss took a deep breath and said, "Girl, I don't know, this is a semi-finished giant sword, when a caravan boss gave me this piece of black iron, entrusted me to build a big sword, but the caravan suddenly changed its schedule and left in a hurry, and at that time I only played the prototype and did not open the front, the boss said to store it with me first, but this few years have passed, the caravan boss has not returned, girl, you don't mention that I have forgotten this stubble." ”

"Just sell me this Kaifeng!" Ye Qiqi said with a squint

The boss thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's useless to put it here, the girl will pick it up the day after tomorrow, and it only takes more than a day to complete it." ”

"That's not going to work!we'll leave tomorrow morning," Ye Qiqi frowned

"It can't be helped, even if I work overnight, it will be noon tomorrow at the earliest" The boss shook his head

"I want this, Qiqi will buy it for me," Liu Qiu said as he looked at the semi-finished product in the corner

"Shaoxia, this is ......," the boss thought that Liu Qiu had not heard clearly and wanted to explain

"I understand" Liu Qiu didn't wait for the boss to finish speaking, and pulled out the weapon that was not so much a giant sword as a giant ruler along the corner, and suddenly the backlog of dust flew all over the sky. Feeling the heaviness in his hand, Liu Qiu didn't care about the dust coming from his nose at all, and the corners of his mouth picked lightly.

"You're crazy! Dead nerd, don't say hello" Ye Qiqi, who had already fled the scene, shouted from afar

Dressed in blue, with a strand of black hair and a huge ruler, Liu Qiu at this time is like a chivalrous man.

"Wow, don't say that you are quite handsome with this black ruler on your back!" After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Ye Qiqi looked Liu Qiu up and down, and his bright eyes flashed

As the night progressed, the streets began to calm down again, except for the hawkers on the side of the road and the occasional barking of dogs from the alleys in the distance, and the lights gradually went out, and the town seemed to be a sleeping old man, peaceful and calm. found an inn at random, Ye Qiqi opened two houses, greeted each other and entered the room.

Last night's tossing, coupled with today's competition, made Liu Qiu already exhausted, leaned the giant ruler against the wall, threw the package on the table casually, ignored the scream from the package, and fell asleep!

A white head swayed out of the package, by chance the white finch found that the package was a good place to sleep, so he secretly climbed in, Liu Qiu had already found that thinking of this bird standing on the shoulder is also quite swaggering, people who don't know still think that the stupid son of the landlord's family teased the bird, so he also acquiesced to the white finch sleeping in the package.

Liu Qiu...... You pay attention to the master next time!" Seeing that Liu Qiu was asleep, the white finch plucked up his courage and raised his broken wings to point at Liu Qiu, although the white finch did not speak again after a few days, but after the audience spoke in the crowd today, his language ability has grown a lot. After scolding, seeing that Liu Qiu didn't wake up, he scolded and said a few more words, feeling bored and shaking into the package and continuing to sleep.

The waning moon passed through the paper-thin clouds, and the little jade light fell on the window screen and solidified on the edge of the bed, Liu Qiu suddenly woke up from his dream and quietly climbed onto the eaves. The night worms lurk in the darkness, chirping tirelessly, weaving into mournful music to break the silence of the night. The faint fragrance of the plants blends in with the moonlight that permeates the town. The dark mountains in the distance are like gods guarding the town, towering and tall.

Sitting cross-legged as usual, the long-lost moonlight poured into Liu Qiu's body like a long-drought rain, and most of the dantian was already wrapped in white mist. After the body stopped absorbing the moonlight, Liu Qiu did not return to the room, but kept trying to exert force, deliberately mobilizing the qi of the dantian while exerting force, and the white mist in the dantian was still not moving ten times and hundreds of times, but Liu Qiu had no choice but to withdraw his hand, and sent a punch into the air with a little annoyance, and turned over and went down the eaves. It's just that Liu Qiu didn't notice it, and when he punched just now, the white mist in the dantian had a trace of throbbing.
