Just when he was about to ask why he didn't sell his sword, he heard Master Liu continue: "It's better to buy a spear head and go back. If you are good at using sticks, you must know some marksmanship. Even if you don't understand, the principles are similar. It’s also easier to use a gun.”
"As for the gun head, I have it here ready-made, and I happen to have a beef tendon wood gun shaft that I can buy for you at a cheaper price. Not only is the plain knife more expensive, but it also takes a few days to be shot. That's all I have to say. , the choice is up to you."
Hearing what he said, Li Zhengyi was unable to refute for a while. After thinking about it, I felt that what Master Liu said was right. After all, he didn't know how to use a gun, and he had never played with a sword, so he should be about the same when using it.
But the price is quite different. A simple knife costs at least about 100 yuan, and a gun head only costs 700 to 800 yuan.
Even if the money is not yours to begin with, it is certainly better to save some now just in case you need to use it later, and you can take it and use it directly without waiting.
However, only the head of the gun was not enough, so Li Zhengyi simply agreed to pay an extra hundred or so to have Master Liu add the barrel of the gun.
"Sure enough, you are a good young man. Come in with me."
There was no hesitation. Li Zhengyi was more anxious than him. After entering the house, he saw that most of the shelves were farm tools.
Master Liu took him directly to the back room, opened a large box, and took out a long strip wrapped in gray cloth.
"Here, let's take a look. I made the head of this gun myself a few years ago. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Li Zhengyi took the thing and weighed it with his hands. It weighed about three to five kilograms and looked to be more than a foot long.
After unwrapping the cloth and revealing Lushan's true face, even he was a little surprised.
The head of this gun looks really good. It is square-shaped and solid in texture. The upper part is bright and the lower part is dark. The sharp gun head shines with cold light.
If this pricks someone, can the bleeding be stopped?
"Yes, I want this gun head!"
Seeing Li Zhengyi's extremely satisfied look, Master Liu was also the same. After all, this is a work made by his own hands, and being liked by customers is also an affirmation of his skills.
Then he took Li Zhengyi to get a gun shaft, which was about five feet long and three fingers thick.
Master Liu said that this is a kind of beef tendon wood. It is extremely tough and can rebound quickly when encountering strong resistance. It can also be easily cut by ordinary swords.
Moreover, after being soaked in tung oil, it is even more sturdy and durable. When held in the hand, it feels a little different from ordinary wooden sticks.
Master Liu taught him how to fix and disassemble the spear head in person. After assembly, the entire spear was about a head higher than Li Zhengyi's, which was just right for him.
It is also very convenient to disassemble. The gun head can be hidden on the body as a short weapon for self-defense. At critical moments, it can be combined with the gun barrel to instantly become a murder weapon.
Without further bargaining, Li Zhengyi was immediately ready to pay for the weapons. But as soon as his hand reached into his arms, he suddenly stopped, feeling like something was missing.
What's missing?
Kitchen knife!
When he came out to inquire for information last night, he still had a kitchen knife in his arms, always alert to possible dangers.
But I forgot to bring it when I came out today. This is not good. Safety comes first when you go out, so you can't relax.
You have to carry it with you when you go back. The tip of this spear is fine for stabbing, but it is definitely not as smooth as chopping in a hand-to-hand encounter.
Looking up, he saw Master Liu staring at the hand he had extended into his arms. Li Zhengyi suddenly thought about going to the blacksmith shop, why not buy a more convenient short weapon.
That kitchen knife is usually very inconvenient, and it's a bit bulky to wield, so it's not suitable for a speedy player like him.
"Master Liu, do you have any ready-made short weapons here that are convenient to carry with you?"
Master Liu, who had watched Li Er grow up since childhood, looked at Li Zhengyi with an expression of surprise and uncertainty on Fang Hou's face.
"Did your kid cause any trouble and want to go up the mountain to join the gang?"
The expression on Li Zhengyi's face was startled. Are this uncle's eyes so poisonous? The first guess was wrong.
But there still needs to be a reasonable explanation.
"Hey, this is not my usual business trip. I need someone to protect myself. I won't be short of your money. If you have any, just take it out."
Seeing his words, Master Liu had no choice but to take him back to the room where he was just now.
The same box was opened. Li Zhengyi didn't pay attention to it before, but now he looked out and saw that there were many long strips wrapped in coarse cloth in the box.
Master Liu took out a piece of cloth as short as an arm and gave it to Li Zhengyi, but he looked at it but didn't take it. If it were so long, wouldn't it overlap with the attack range of the gun head?
Then he pointed to a longer piece of cloth next to him and said, "What is that? Take it out and let me take a look."
"this?"
Master Liu hesitated for a moment before taking it out and sighing at the same time: "If you like these two swords, take them."
sword? Two handfuls? Does it sound like there’s some story?
After untying it, there were indeed two swords with cold light.
The two swords are almost the same in appearance, slightly shorter than a normal sword, and are almost two feet long.
But they are all heavier than ordinary swords, almost the same as the head of my own spear.
The head of the sword is in the shape of a cloud, and the hilt is wrapped with silver wire. The sword grid is slightly forward, and the blade is four-sided, wider and thicker than an ordinary sword, with layers of lines on it that look like waves.
"These two swords are of excellent craftsmanship. They are made of high-quality steel and have been folded and forged repeatedly. They look like the work of a master at first glance."
So this is not cast by Master Liu? Li Zhengyi held the two swords in his hands and made chopping movements. He could hardly feel any resistance and felt that it suited him very well.
The main thing is that he is handsome. It is almost impossible to hear anyone playing with a sword in Water Margin, let alone a double sword.
Seeing him using the sword as a machete, Master Liu's eyes twitched, and he regretted taking out the swords.
"I want this sword. How much is it?"
Master Liu's eyes suddenly widened like a bull's eye: "How many articles? Five guans! Five guans in one handful!"
Maybe I felt that I shouldn't be so irritated with the customer, so I explained a few more words: "I'm afraid the materials alone are more than that. The customer just asked me to make two lighter sword grids and threw down ten coins."
"If I hadn't come to pick it up after several years, how could I have sold it to you so cheaply?"
"But then again, that guest is fairer and more handsome than you are now, and he looks like he belongs to a wealthy family..."
Liu Tiejiang said so readily before, I will give you whatever you like. I thought it would cost just a few hundred coins like this gun tip, but I didn't expect it would cost so much.
Doesn't he have that much on his body? It would be enough if he took all the copper coins at home, but will he not be able to survive the next few days? There are still twenty-nine days left.
never mind?
