When I saw Jia Dao was in danger, I wanted to step forward and stop him. After all, he was my friend!
With a choking sound, Xu Huizhu and I were forced to move by the swords in front and behind.
A man said to the slovenly man, "General, these people are really rude and may leak information. Are they all going to be killed?"
The sharp sword blade had cut through Jia Dao's skin, and blood oozed faintly. Jia Dao's legs had begun to tremble non-stop.
I suddenly understood. I heard that due to wars or other disasters in ancient times, many aristocratic families chose to live in seclusion in order to avoid disasters. These families had little contact with outsiders for many centuries, and they have always retained the customs and habits of the time when they lived in seclusion and have not changed.
They have formed a small society of their own, and are extremely wary of the outside world. If an outsider breaks in, they only have one word: "Kill!"
Later I discovered that my thoughts at this time were completely specious.
This sloppy man was respectfully called a general by others, so he must be the leader. When this man sold me the gold and copper coins, I tried to take away the yellow satin cloth spread on the ground, but he refused.
, and said that it was a reward, and that piece of cloth was made of the same material as the cotton-padded jacket worn by the old man with severed hands.
And the two old men in black first appeared in Shaanxi, so these people must be related to those two old men!
There is no escape from the situation we are facing now. Even if Xu Huizhu and I can escape, Jia Dao will never be able to escape.
Looking at these men in leather armor, each of them is fierce and strong, with red eyes. Each of them seems to have experienced a real life-and-death battle. They are all ruthless characters. If you fight with them at this time, you will never get any benefits.
Since they are likely to be related to the two old men in black, they might as well make a fuss about those two old men.
I watched the slovenly man called the general open his mouth and was about to shout the word "kill", so I quickly shouted "Stop!"
The sloppy man was stunned for a moment, and everyone around him also glared at me.
I quickly said, "I am friends with two old men! One is fat and the other is thin! One is called Wang Da and the other is Li Er. Do you know each other?"
I took a peek and saw that everyone's expressions began to relax a little. I understood that my idea worked, and those two old men were indeed related to them.
The sloppy man looked at me carefully, waved his hand, and retracted the swords placed around Jia Dao's neck.
Jia Dao, who had been through the gate of hell for a while, his body softened and he collapsed to the ground with a thump.
"Who are you? How do you know them?" the slovenly man asked, but the suspicion in his eyes did not diminish.
I knew that the danger had not been eliminated, and I didn't care to scare Jia Dao, who was lying on the ground, because if I were not careful at this time, the three of us would become ghosts under the sword.
So I picked up my sharp tongue, started talking nonsense, and talked endlessly.
Tell me how I was nice to those two old men, how I cared about them and took care of them, how they were grateful to me, etc. In short, what would they do if I were to be hurt even a little bit?
How sad and angry.
Xu Huizhu, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes, watching me lie with a face that was neither red nor white. Later, she said to me, she didn't expect that the famous Mr. Long would also talk nonsense. There was no need to draft the lie, and it turned out to be true.
This gave her a reason to make fun of me. But at this time, I couldn’t care about that much anymore. Saving my life was the most important thing.
It seemed that these people didn't know much about the outside world, but the lies I concocted were seamless. Unknowingly, from their relaxed expressions, I knew they believed me.
"Where have they gone? Did you say when they will be back?" asked the sloppy man.
"General!" I also imitated what other people called sloppy men. "What kind of people are they? How could they reveal their whereabouts to us casually?"
The sloppy man nodded, "That's what you said!"
The sloppy man was honest. Once he believed it, he had no doubts. He turned around and said to everyone, "Since they are friends of the old man and they have caught up with our celebration banquet, come on! Barbecue! Entertain them!"
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. The men put away their swords, quickly picked up many branches and wood, and lit a large bonfire.
When Xu Huizhu was unprepared, she secretly scratched her nose at me. I knew she was laughing at my lie. Then, Xu Huizhu went to help Jia Dao, who was lying on the ground. But at this time, I spoke uprightly and solemnly.
How could a slovenly man pay attention to her ridicule if he tried to make friends with her?
The sky was getting darker and darker, but under the illumination of the roaring bonfire, everything was bright.
Looking at their costumes, I thought they would dig wood to make fire. Of course not, otherwise they would not only hack us to death, but also starve us to death. After following them for so long, I was really hungry. They
It is also very convenient to use a lighter to make a fire. It seems that it is not that there is no contact with the outside world, but only very little.
I don’t know where they caught two goats and a big roe deer. The four hooves of the wild animals had long been tied tightly. The roe deer and goat were still alive, screaming in fear and twisting like crazy.
He is unwilling to become our food.
A tall man approached the roe deer and the goat with a sword in hand. With three clicks, click, click, he cut off the heads of the two goats and the roe deer.
The bodies of the decapitated goats and roe deer kept swinging, and blood spurted out, splashing all over the tall man and making his dirty leather armor turn black.
The tall man didn't care and just wiped the sword on his body. Under the illumination of the bonfire, the tall man's sword was still like new, glowing yellow.
Xu Huizhu frowned as she looked at it, while I paid more attention to the sword.
I said to the sloppy man, "General, it looks like that brother's sword is really sharp. Can you let me admire it?"
I say it very politely, because swords are as cherished as life to swordsmen. In the past, some sects that specialized in sword training even said that the sword will destroy the person while the sword is there. I want to see that sword
The idea is true, but there is not much certainty of success.
But the sloppy man didn't care. He waved his hand to the tall man and shouted "Sword!"
When the tall man heard what the sloppy man said, he hurriedly held the sheathed sword in both hands and handed it to the sloppy man with the sword and sheath in front of him.
The sloppy man took the sword and handed it to me. I quickly took the sword and slowly drew it out.
The sword was full of energy! Just now, I could feel the sharpness of the sword when I was far away. At this moment, holding the sword close to me, I felt even cooler. The blade of the sword was glowing, not blue, but yellow and golden. I
I weighed the sword body and looked at it carefully. I knew it was a bronze sword, a bronze sword!
Copper is an extremely soft metal and is not suitable for making weapons. However, the Qin-made copper swords unearthed from Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses are extremely sharp.
I once had the opportunity to participate in an experiment to test the sharpness of the Qin bronze sword. The experiment was to put a copper coin on the table, use all my strength, and slash it with the sword. There was only a "click" sound, and not only the copper coin on the table was chopped into pieces.
In two halves, even the solid wood table under the copper coins was split into two halves.
Just because the Qin Sword is too precious, in order to prevent damage to the sword's edge, the experiment has ended here, but this is enough to prove the sharpness of the Qin Bronze Sword.
Why is the Qin bronze sword so sharp? In fact, the sword itself is not pure copper, but a certain proportion of tin is added. Only by adding the right proportion of tin can the bronze sword be both sharp and tough. If too little tin is added, the bronze sword will become weak.
It will be too soft and not sharp. If too much tin is added, the sword will break easily and lose its toughness. Such smelting technology has disappeared since the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
Because tin is added to the copper sword, the color is slightly green, so it is called the bronze sword. The sword body is immortal and sparkling for thousands of years, especially because the surface of the bronze sword is coated with a layer of metallic chromium with a film of about 10 microns, and this technology
It only became available in recent years.
I held this bronze sword, which was almost identical to the one excavated from the Qin Mausoleum, and couldn't help but shout "What a sword!"
The sloppy man said disapprovingly, "All good swords are the same." Seeing my confused look, he called a few more men and ordered them to pull out their swords for me to see.
Xu Huizhu, Jia Dao and I stretched our necks and stared at several swords carefully. We were all in a daze, because these swords were almost exactly the same, not even half different!
