Chapter 2: Breaking the Iron Sword

"Mom, there can't really be a ghost here, is it really a ghost shouting for help, no matter, there is an iron sword there, when I was a child, my dream was to be an immortal, but I don't have the money to fight a sword. Ma Zhufan trembled and slowly approached the skeleton.

The bones of the skeleton glowed in the candlelight, the skeleton was covered with a little dust, the skeleton was meditating on the futon, giving people a sense of serenity and detachment, feeling that the skeleton seemed to be alive, and he shook his head vigorously.

"Hell yes, a skeleton can still live. He walked over to the skeleton and bent down to pick up the iron sword, but no matter how hard he tried, the skeleton would not let go of the sword.

"Dizzy, I've been dead for so long, and I still take a broken iron sword so seriously, it's really a miser. Ma Zhufan said with emotion.

He used his strength to move the skeleton's hand away, "I have a sword! I have a sword! From now on, I Ma Zhufan can also be regarded as an immortal, hehe!" he happily showed off with the sword.

He carefully looked at the iron sword, the sword was covered with rust, the rust was covered with dust, the sword was two feet three inches long (one zhang is equal to 3 meters, one foot is equal to 0.3 meters, and one inch is equal to 0.03 meters), shorter than the ordinary sword, the general sword is more than three feet, the sword weighs two catties and three weights, lighter than the ordinary sword, the ordinary sword weighs five catties, he used the clothes on his body, wiped the dust off the sword, and couldn't help but dance the sword flower.

"Good sword, although it is shorter and lighter, it is very good!" Ma Zhufan took off his clothes and carefully wrapped the sword, and then made a deep fist at the bones.

"Thank you for your sword, if I Ma Zhufan has a bright day, I will definitely come back and bury you. Ma Zhufan said affectionately, he turned around, and looked at the wax table carefully with his hand under his cheek.

"It's too heavy to move out of here, but you can cut some candles and go back, that's all. He made up his mind, so he took out an iron sword to cut the candle, and after being busy for a long time, Ma Zhufan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Oh my God! Which fairy sister came to tell me what was going on! A candle, a sword cut for half an hour, and no wax chips were cut, is this a sword?" Ma Zhufan sat on the ground and kept beating his chest, he looked at the broken iron sword speechlessly, and put it away helplessly.

"It seems that there is no such life! That's whale oil! Ordinary families like us can only use oil boiled from plants to make lamp oil, and large families can only use oil made from animals. ”

Ma Zhufan stood up, dusted off his pants with his hands, and walked around the cave for a long time, not letting go of a corner, but he found nothing, in desperation, he went out of the hole, moved the stone to the hole, and swam to the shore.

The sun showed a red face, and the green grass was covered with dew, and a few blades of grass could not bear the pressure of the dew, and they hung down, and the rooster crowed into his ears.

"It's going to be dawn, time is really fast! Hurry home, don't let your family worry!" Ma Zhufan said in his heart, walking on the way home, the cold wind of the early morning was blowing on his body, cold, wet clothes were close to his body, he couldn't help sneezing, but touching the sword in his arms, he was a little proud.

Soon, a thatched house appeared in his sight, but there was still a person standing in front of the thatched house, she was wearing a little old cloth clothes on her upper body, and dark linen pants on her lower body, her hair was a little scattered, and she pricked it with a cloth towel at will, and the cold wind blew on her, blowing her hair even more messy, and Ma Zhufan trotted in front of her

"Mother, what are you doing standing here, look at you are frozen, your lips are purple. ”

"Silly son, your mother's body is tough, isn't this worrying about you? I didn't come back all night, your father was like this, and he forgot everything when he woke up! Don't hate him!" Ma Zhufan's mother touched his head lovingly and said.

"Mother, I know. Ma Zhufan looked at the few strands of white hair in his mother's hair, looked at his mother, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and whispered, he didn't want his mother to worry anymore, he didn't want to see the unhappiness on his mother's face anymore, he took his mother's hand and returned home.

"Ugly boy, what's running blindly, my mother is worried all night!" I saw someone coming, wearing a light green shirt, with a bow tied with a cloth towel in his black hair, and said in a throat.

"Eldest sister, aren't you afraid of waking up the neighbors! Isn't your brother coming back?" Ma Zhufan replied helplessly. It turned out that the person who came was Ma Zhufan's eldest sister Ma Zhubi.

"Brother, why are your clothes wet!" a timid voice asked, only to see that the person who spoke had a pair of big watery eyes, and then his mother and eldest sister also looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"Second sister, don't worry, it's all because I didn't pay attention when I walked and slipped and fell in the water. ”

"Dizzy, I really don't know what the eyes are doing!" Ma Zhubi rolled his eyes at him.

"Dead girl, what did you say about your brother!" his mother gently slapped his sister, but unfortunately Ma Zhubi playfully avoided it!

"Brother, walk carefully in the future, don't fall down again!" Ma Zhulan said timidly.

"Sister, you're so annoying, I'm so old, I can still be abducted. As soon as he finished speaking, an embroidered fist struck him.

"Ugly boy, dare to talk like this to your second sister, see that I don't pick your skin. Ma Zhubi's face pretended to be vicious, and he was about to stretch out his embroidered fist to hit him, Ma Zhufan was frightened, and his eldest sister chased him behind.

"Mom, eldest sister, just spare me once, I won't dare next time. ”

"Ugly boy, if I don't beat you, I don't know how to respect my sister. Ma Zhubi was in hot pursuit.

"Zhubi, Zhufan, you run slowly, don't fall!" his mother chased after him uneasily.

"Eldest sister, you are bullying your younger brother again. His second sister also chased after him to help Ma Zhufan. There was a sound of commotion and laughter throughout the courtyard, and even the birds on the branches danced merrily.

The next morning, the sun shy showed its face, the birds also got up early to find insects to eat, the air was full of coolness, Ma Zhufan got up early, carried the bamboo basket to school, and listened to the bird's cheerful call along the way, he couldn't help humming a little song.

He was wearing a light gray gown today, the gown was covered with wrinkles, it looked like it was left after washing it for unknown reasons, a light cyan turban tied up his hair at will, the skin on his face was a little dark, his face was a little long, and there was a pair of bright eyes hidden under his thick eyebrows, the gaze of those eyes was full of firmness and unyielding, as if there was no one in this world who could make the owner of these eyes succumb.

Ma Zhufan is also very helpless about his appearance, his two sisters often laugh at him, and often joke about it, why are we so beautiful and exquisite, but you are not handsome at all, I wonder if you are our younger brother, just because these two sisters have been beaten by his mother, he is also quite speechless, he can only blame himself for his bad genetics!

A few buildings were faintly visible under the light mist, and there was also a cacophony. "It's finally here!" Ma Zhufan quickened his pace.
