Chapter 20: Buying a Bow and a Dagger
Luo Jiang called the attendants.
"What do you need, officer?" asked the attendant at once.
"Get me a bow with two hundred pounds. Luo Jiang said.
The attendant's gaze swept imperceptibly on Luo Jiang's ribs, but he didn't show anything unusual, walked out of the bow and took two steps, took a silver-white bow and arrow from the wall, and came to Luo Jiang's side and explained: "Guest officer, this is two hundred catties of bow power, and the style is exquisite, you see the lines on the bow, all of them are carefully drawn by craftsmen. ”
The bow and arrow in the attendant's hand glowed with silver and white, and the lines were carved with gold threads, like an ornament, Luo Jiang especially hated the bright color of the bow, and suddenly frowned, and asked, "What material is this bow made of?"
"Takumi cow tendon bow. The attendant replied: "The topwood of Shanghao Lu and the tendon of the prime-aged cow are condensed by special techniques. ”
"Tuomu is silvery-white?" Luo Jiang asked suspiciously.
"No, Takumi is gray, the color is very ugly, brush it with silver powder, see if it looks much better?" said the attendant.
"I'm going to take the original bow that hasn't been painted. Luo Jiang said directly. He thought to himself, I'm afraid the attendant thinks of himself as the kind of person who likes to collect bows and arrows to save face.
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute. The attendant was slightly stunned, driven by the embarrassment of the mistake, hurriedly walked out of the hall, and after a moment came out with a simple bow, a light gray bow body, and a gray bowstring. Tubula is not a few, and the decorated bow and arrow can't be compared, and it's not even as good as the jujube red chestnut bow.
However, Luo Jiang seemed to be very satisfied with this bow and arrow, took the bow and arrow from the hand of the attendant, hooked the thumb of his left hand with a pigskin ring on the bowstring of the cow tendon, exhaled, and tried to pull a full bow.
Unaware of the attendant's surprised gaze, Luo Jiang secretly screamed, the feeling that the tendons of his whole body were pulled apart was really wonderful. And this bow is much more advanced than the chestnut bow, and it is a pleasure to hear the bow bend and the bow and arrow pull out.
I estimated in my heart that this bow Luojiang could only be pulled three times, and the fourth time was reluctant, but it definitely couldn't be pulled five times.
Without showing an expression on his face, Luo Jiang opened his mouth and said, "How much does this bow cost?"
"Guest officer, the Tuomu beef tendon bow is made of good Tuomu, and the beef tendon is also a good beef tendon, soaked in a special juice for dozens of days before making a bow and arrow, it is definitely a refinement. You can use this bow with confidence, even if you fire the bow 500 times, the bow power will not weaken. After some description, the attendant finally said, "This bow is thirty-five taels." ”
"It's so expensive!"
Luo Jiang felt a cool breeze at the root of his teeth, and his heart twitched like pain, he looked at the attendant and said, "It's cheaper for me." ”
The waiter's face suddenly became embarrassed, "To be honest, our store will not bargain. Well, I'll give you a ring of cowhide, which is much better than the one you wear. ”
Luo Jiang smiled faintly, and did not puncture any lie of "no counteroffer", only said: "I just bought a chestnut bow in the store a few days ago, and I am a regular customer of your store, and you see that the bow you originally took will take a lot of effort to decorate it, I want an original bow, how can it be the same price?"
"Okay, I can give you two taels cheaper, and sell it to you for thirty-three taels. The squire finally gave in.
Luo Jiang gritted his teeth and promised, "I bought it." ”
Extremely distressed, he took out the silver taels that had not yet been covered from his arms, and then took the new bow and arrow from the smiling attendant, Luo Jiang walked outside the store.
Passing by the door of the store, with a casual glance, there were rows of short-bladed daggers placed on the counter near the door, Luo Jiang's heart moved, and stopped.
"It's more than 20 pounds of knives, it's too troublesome to carry on your body, so let's buy a dagger." Luo Jiang thought.
Seeing that Luo Jiang stopped, the attendant hurriedly chased after him again, and said, "The guest officer has taken a fancy to that one, and I will bring it to you to try." ”
Luo Jiang's gaze swept over, and finally landed on a dagger with a handle and a blade that was half a foot long, the blades on both sides of the dagger were jagged one by one, and flashed with cold light, and they were very sharp at a glance. I'm afraid that if you get close to a person's skin, you will immediately get goosebumps.
"That's it. Luo Jiang stretched out his hand.
The attendant took out the dagger from the counter and handed it to Luo Jiang, Luo Jiang was very rusty in his hand, for fear that the dagger would hit him, but he was very satisfied with the weight.
The attendant smiled and said on the side: "Guest officer, your vision is really good, the blade of this dagger is sawtooth, very special, and the sawtooth blade is made of snowflake steel, which is absolutely sharp, and snowflake steel is known as 'blowing hair and breathing through the wind'." ”
When Luo Jiang heard that he had a good vision, he immediately secretly exclaimed, "Good vision" means that the price is expensive. He didn't say how to buy it, and asked, "What is the price of this dagger?"
"For the sake of the bow you just bought, the dagger counts you for eight taels. The squire said, then added, "It really can't be lower." ”
Luo Jiang turned his eyes, saw that the attendant didn't seem to be lying, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and suddenly pointed to some leather cases in the corner of the counter, and said, "Okay, eight taels is eight taels, but you have to give me a leather case." ”
The attendant only hesitated, and then said, "Okay." This holster is attached to the leg, and the dagger can be easily pulled out with the dagger inserted inside. ”
Luo Jiang took the dagger and holster, inserted it into his arms, and then paid eight taels of silver and walked out of the "Sun Family Armory Pavilion".
On Luo Jiang's body, there are only six taels of silver left.
"What is this kid going to do, why is he suddenly so generous?"
The Ling Demon was very puzzled, and guessed in Zhihai: "Could it be that he was stimulated and wanted to go to the mountains to vent?"
......
Maybe it will rain tomorrow or in the middle of the night, and it will be very dull.
In such weather, Luo Jiang went down the mountain in the evening and secretly came to Wucheng. The streets were empty, there was not a single figure, only the starry lights of the houses on both sides, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness.
Luo Jiang carried a bow on his back and wore a dark shirt, and the cat walked in the dark corner.
"You kid practiced daggers all afternoon, it turned out to be this plan, I underestimated your perverted degree, killed the first person, and was addicted to killing. Ling Demon said in Zhihai: "However, the person you want to kill has a higher status than you, and there are guards by your side, have you really thought about it?"
"When it's time to be crazy, you have to be crazy. Luo Jiang gritted his teeth and said.
"Ha Lu Ha. ”
The Ling Demon suddenly laughed, "Little rookie, your legs are shaking so much, I wonder how you walked down the mountain like this." ”
Ling is right, Luo Jiang is still a rookie, naturally he is very nervous, his palms are already full of sweat, but because of this, it shows that his courage is commendable.
