Chapter 3: Entering the rivers and lakes lightly

In the dense forest in the mountain stream, a young man was sweating and raining down on a big tree as thick as three people hugging him.

"Yikes!"

With a loud drink, the tree fell. The boy jumped up with excitement.

The boy who cut down the tree was naturally the Jiang Ergou before, perhaps this time he was stimulated by walking the rivers and lakes, and he cut down the last big tree in only two days.

"yes, let's go, go to the rivers and lakes. I went to the rivers and lakes. ”

The boy took the wooden knife and rushed towards the dilapidated hut.

"Old man, old man, pack your things, it's time for you to go. ”

The boy rushed into the hut, ignoring his unlucky master, who was sleeping. Pulling his arm and shaking it non-stop.

The old man was caught off guard by this thunderous voice, and I am afraid that the power of this voice is not weaker than the power of his full palm when he fights with his enemy.

"Ergou, stop, stop, you're going to murder your master! ”

The old man also looked at this unlucky apprentice helplessly.

"Old man, the hundredth tree, cut down, it's time to go. ”

The boy panted slightly.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go. You'll have to wait a little longer, though. ”

"What's the matter with you, let's go. It's such a place, what else. ”

The old man ignored the excited boy and rummaged through the place where a large pile of miscellaneous items was piled up.

"Ergou, do you know what is the most important thing for my generation to walk the rivers and lakes. ”

The old man made a noise as he searched for something

"I know what's most important, old man, tell me what's most important. ”

"Hahaha, there are two most important things in this walking world, the first is that you have to have a resounding name. ”

When the old man said this, he seemed to think of some interesting scene, and laughed. Even rummaging through things stopped. It took a while to stop laughing.

"As for you, the title of the second dog is quite mighty. In the future, when you meet someone in a martial arts competition, you report yourself to be in Xiajiang Ergou, and ensure that your opponent will lose half of the game by himself. ”

After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Ergou, whose eyes were gloomy enough to kill. He laughed to himself, and then rummaged through the pile

"This second... Well, I finally found it. ”

"Whew, whew. ”

The old man blew softly, and pulled out a knife from the clutter with a rusty scabbard.

"The second is to have a weapon at hand. As for this, the master has already thought of it and prepared it for you. ”

As he spoke, he threw the knife to the boy.

"Counting the time, we've been here for almost seventeen years. You're seventeen. Jianghu people, if you don't have any birthday banquet things, this knife can barely be regarded as your birthday gift. ”

The young man took the knife, whose scabbard was already a little blurred with rust marks, and instead of disgusting it, he held it in his arms as if he had found a treasure.

"Old man, where did you come from, how much money was spent at the beginning, I don't want it if the grade is low. ”

The young man said no, but the hands holding the knife became tighter and tighter. After all, after playing with wooden knives for more than ten years, this is the first time I have touched a real knife.

"As far as you kid want, this knife is just a knife that I picked up when I came back when I met two groups of mountain bandits. ”

"Bragging again. ”

The boy smiled and pulled out the knife. Although the scabbard has some rust, it is still quite quaint, and the blade is very snow-white. It can even reflect a person's face.

"With this appearance, less than a hundred taels of white flower silver will not be available at all. ”

"Yo, I still know that Xueflake Silver, not bad, I don't know if I saw it from the novel I brought back, but there is still a little bit of the temperament of walking in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Old man, then stay for another night, I'll make a good lining for this knife. ”

"Yo, I'm not in a hurry to leave now, wasn't I in a hurry like a monkey just now. ”

The old man said with some yin and yang weirdness.

"If you had taken out the knife earlier, I would have used this hard work, and I would have left early. ”

The boy walked out of the house with a knife on his own

The old man looked at the young man holding the knife and smiled with satisfaction. Actually, what kind of broken knife is this? When he went out, the old man fell in love with the knife at a glance from the ordinary-looking weapons shop.

At that time, this knife was the treasure of the town store in the store. At first, I didn't buy anything, but in the end, it cost three hundred taels of snowflake silver to get it. It's far from being as simple as a hundred taels as the teenager guessed. The old man spent all the silver taels on his body for this. On the way back, I was hungry for several days.

It's just that the young man won't ask about it, and the old man won't say it. Maybe it has to be buried in the hearts of the two of them.

A knife is a good knife, as can be seen from the fact that it has been piled up in the clutter for so many years and the scabbard has a slight rust.

The boy came to the waterhole and found a fine whetstone. Hey, hey, grinding the knife that had just arrived, with a rusty scabbard. There are also two words carved on the handle of the knife: Kunwu.

The name of the knife is Kunwu, the knife of Jiang Ergou.

The first rays of the morning sun shine over the mountain and into the mountain stream. The surface of the waterhole is sparkling. It's a different kind of scenery again.

Last night, the boy didn't sleep all night, and until now he still holds the knife and doesn't let go, polishing it hard. Finally, he picked up a handful of water with his hand and poured it on the knife body, and under the reflection of the sunlight, the already snow-white knife body became even brighter. It makes people's hearts sway.

As for the scabbard that still has rust at the latest, it is naturally indispensable to be polished by the young man.

"Ergou, you have been arguing with Lao Tzu for a night. I also let people not sleep. ”

The old man who rushed out of the door had a rather peculiar shape. Not to mention the messy hair, it has always been like this, but the two balls of cotton stuffed in the ears are so conspicuous. Coupled with two black black circles under the eyes, it's very funny.

Of course, the situation of teenagers is not so good. It's just that the overly excited look hides the exhaustion in the depths of his eyes.

"Today is the first day that Ben Shaoxia became famous, old man, don't destroy Ben Shaoxia's state of mind. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and said no more. In fact, in general, I don't know what to say, but I just look at this stuff, and it hurts a little.

......

At the mouth of the mountain stream valley, on a cyan boulder, a young man with long hair stood on it with a cold expression.

He carried a small burden on his back, and carried the Kunwu knife in his hand. A pale robe swayed in the wind. As for this young man, although he is not very handsome, he is seventeen years old, and he can be regarded as delicate.

Just this picture, at first glance, it really looks a bit like those young heroes fluttering on the rivers and lakes. Of course, it would be more similar if there were no two dark circles on the eyes.

"Old man, let's go, this young man will take you to ride a horse and whip and dominate the rivers and lakes. ”

After saying that, the boy jumped off the boulder and strode out of the mountain stream.

The old man stood at the mouth of the valley, letting the wind blow by his side. There is a saying, yes, it is messy in the wind. It's so much in line with the old man's appearance at this moment.

"Oh no, is this kid stupid, you have to pay attention in the future. Don't let him go out and hurt anyone again. ”

After saying that, the old man looked back and took one last look at the valley where he had lived for seventeen years. Take in the scenery as if you want to keep it all in your heart.

"I don't know if I'll be able to come back in the future. ”

The old man muttered to himself, and suddenly seemed to think of something.

"I guess there's no chance. ”

Turning his head to look at the young man walking towards the outside of the valley, the corners of the old man's eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled a little.

"It's better to be young, I don't understand anything, I don't have nostalgia for anything. ”

After saying that, the old man who was carrying a rattan-like object on his back also gently raised his feet and walked out.

In the territory of Yuzhou, on the official road to Jinguancheng.

"Dodge, dodge, six doors to arrest the criminals, and those who don't want to die are all dodged. ”

Suddenly, six or seven figures on horseback were rampaging on the official road, causing pedestrians to scramble to the side of the road.

"Old man, what kind of people are they, they don't seem to be small. ”

A somewhat ghostly figure, a somewhat rickety old man, this is the unlucky master-apprentice duo.

"It must be a big deal, I didn't hear it, six doors, I know what kind of place it is, and it is said that even if a ghost goes in, it will have to fall off the skin. ”

"It's amazing. ”

The boy was a little surprised

"Of course, at the beginning, Emperor Taizu Chu Tian of this dynasty was just a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, and he was born to achieve a master of a product by himself, which is not counted, in the troubled times, he pulled up an army of outlaws, started from Liaozhou, and laid down the place where the thirty-six counties of the eight states of Dachu are today. ”

Later, his son, who is now the emperor Chu Zheng, is even more not a simple lord. His family was born in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally knows what kind of temperament those people are. At the beginning, many people in the rivers and lakes would have the practice of using force to prohibit and kill a few court officials and then flee. No one can catch them anyway, so they will continue to get away with it in another place. ”

"Later, this Chu Zheng established such an institution called Six Doors, which was graded into four categories of gold, silver, copper and iron.

Since then, these six doors have been dedicated to killing the warriors of the rivers and lakes who violate the ban with martial arts. Over the years, many masters have been rounded up and hunted by these six gates, including a second-grade master. The master's head was also hung by the rudder of six doors in eight states for ten days. Since then, the number of cases of indiscriminate prohibition by force has been reduced by more than half. You say it's not amazing. ”

The young man listened, a little like a great enemy, and he was really a little afraid of this organization called Six Doors.

"So, in this world, although the Great Chu Dynasty is only ruled by the second generation, this world is a little better than that of the previous dynasty. ”

The old man ignored the young man's expression and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

"Old man, just scare me, I'm not afraid, don't try to kill my dream of walking the rivers and lakes. ”

When the young man came back to his senses, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed by the performance just now, and he blushed for a while, and said this sentence again.

"I'll find out if it's bluffing you. Don't cry when the time comes. ”

"Ben Shaoxia won't cry his nose, old man, I'm hungry, find a place to eat. ”

"Not far ahead, there is an inn, where to eat. ”
