On the way, I met a weapons shop, so I walked in and picked out the most expensive knife. This sword has a cold light, its blade is covered with feather patterns, and it is as bright as a mirror. Li Bochen waved it in his hand and felt it was a little light. I tried a few more mouthfuls, but it was still light.
The shop clerk probably thought that he was a down-and-out martial artist who couldn't afford to buy it and could only look at it, so he had no choice but to find this excuse to wield his sword to enjoy himself. He smiled and said: "If the customer is still not satisfied, why not try that one."
He stretched his hand towards the side of the shop, pointing to the large iron knife on an iron weapons rack by the wall. The knife was one size larger than an ordinary knife. The blade was extremely thick, half a palm wide. The calyx and handle were both made of iron and were very ornately decorated. Many weapon shops have similar gadgets. When placed in the store, they can suppress evil and show magnanimity.
Li Bochen was now very emboldened because he had money, so he smiled and said, "How much does this knife weigh?"
The waiter leaned behind the counter, breaking into pieces of steamed buns and eating them, holding up three fingers and saying with a smile: "Thirty pounds."
Li Boxen was stunned: "Thirty pounds?"
This is almost as heavy as the sword on Wujing Mountain. At that time, he felt a little strenuous holding the knife with one hand.
"Some parts of it are filled with lead, so I'm afraid it won't feel good in the hand." The clerk looked at him and said with a smile, "My shopkeeper said that whoever can dance this knife to three points with one hand will have this knife as a gift. How about it, guest? You think my sword is not heavy enough, do you want to try it?"
Seeing his look, Li Boxen felt competitive. I thought that if I exerted my strength and held my breath, it would not be difficult to dance to a three-pointer. It's just that this weight is really not useful in actual combat, and he doesn't want it. He just wants to teach this guy a lesson.
Then he smiled and said, "Is it settled?"
The clerk also smiled sideways: "Of course. My family is a century-old company. If you say anything, it will be thrown away."
Li Bochen walked to the iron frame, stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife, and exerted force.
This time he exerted his strength, he frowned. It's not that I can't lift it, but it doesn't feel as heavy as I imagined. But then I thought that maybe it was the effect of the Xumi Fetus. Yingyi said that the thing was a magical treasure, and he ate almost a whole one in one go. I'm afraid the medicine is slowly dissipating these days, right? So my strength became stronger. In the past few days, the Yin spirit frequently left the body without feeling listless, probably because of its effect.
He felt happy, lifted the knife with one hand, stepped back three steps, and held up the sword.
When the boy first saw him holding a few hands, he didn't take it to heart and continued to eat slowly. But when I saw him dancing for more than a minute in one breath, I couldn't help but be stunned, and even the crumbs in his mouth fell on the cabinet.
Li Bochen danced the sword for a long time, feeling a little surprised in his heart. The weight of this knife is just right, and it feels great to hold. After dancing for more than three minutes, he finally stopped and put the knife on the ground. The floor of this shop was paved with thin stone slabs, but with a "dang" sound, the stone slabs were shattered.
He really liked the knife, so he couldn't help but praise: "Good guy, you've got it right!"
The waiter was stunned for a while and then hurriedly said: "I'm talking about guests, what I just said... that was..."
However, he saw six or seven people standing outside the shop to watch Li Bochen's sword dance. He also saw that they couldn't help but cheer when Li Bochen stopped, so they swallowed back the second half of his words and said with a sad face: "Guests." Wait a moment, wait a moment..."
He hurriedly walked to the door of the inner room and raised the curtain: "It's the shopkeeper, it's the shopkeeper!"
Li Bochen secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that the uncle now has a lot of money, and he wants to buy your knife, but he doesn't want it for nothing, so why worry.
The waiter shouted twice more, and then someone lifted the curtain and exposed half of his arm. The waiter hurriedly whispered a few words into his ear, and the man came out: "Which strong man has such strength?"
The man then saw Li Boxen, and Li Boxen also saw him, and both of them were stunned.
It was Sun Que, the old shopkeeper of Ye Yinghong's Yishenghe Company.
Why is he here? Li Bochen thought again and said, maybe this weapons shop also belongs to Ye Yinghong's family, right? Zhou Xu was a warrior before he was transferred to Wuliang City, so it would not be surprising to open a weapons shop in Zhang City.
What a coincidence.
Sun Que was surprised: "It's General Li...Mr. Li!"
Judging from his expression, Ye Yinghong must have told her everything about saving her. Li Bochen smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, what a coincidence."
The waiter didn't expect that his shopkeeper recognized this strong man, so he quickly stepped aside.
Sun Que looked at the knife in his hand: "Mr. Li, are you here to buy a knife?"
Li Bochen said with a smile: "All the way south, there was no one who could take advantage of it. I thought it would be nice to play with it when I got up. I was joking with that guy just now - I didn't ask for this knife in vain."
Sun Que sighed: "With Mr. Li's kindness to my family, what if this knife is given to Mr. Li as a gift? Go find the scabbard on Tuesday!"
The more the boy listened to the conversation between the two, the more he felt that their relationship was extraordinary. Now after listening to the instructions, he hurriedly went to the backyard.
Li Bochen sighed, thinking that Sun Qiu seemed to be disrespectful to Ye Yinghong on the road, but now he seemed to care about her very much, probably because of other reasons.
I even slapped him twice.
Thinking that he was in trouble now, it was better not to involve them, so he said: "Shopkeeper Sun, I have something else to do. I'll keep this knife here for now. I'll pick it up another day. Say goodbye."
Sun Que hurriedly walked around the counter and walked out: "Mr. Li, how can I let you go like this without repaying your kindness! Sir, please come with me to the backyard... The boss's house is in the backyard. She has been thinking about your kindness these days and always said that she would Thank you in person. If I ask you to leave today, how will I explain to my employer?"
In fact, when he entered the shop, Li Bochen knew that the person staring at him must have seen him. He and Sun Que were talking across the counter just now. The person staring at him couldn't see it, so it was no big deal.
But now Sun came over with a look of excitement on his face. Those people must have noticed something. He sighed inwardly, thinking that he was really a disaster, and he had caused trouble for this family again. I had no choice but to let him in and explain the matter to them to be careful.
Then he sighed and said, "Okay. Then I'll go see you and then leave."
He put the knife on the knife rest again and followed Sun into the backyard. The backyard of his house is not big. There are many weapons blanks randomly placed in the yard, and there are two guys working on it. Sun Que led him in again, and the environment became better.
Then he led him to the main room, opened the curtain, and entered the front hall. Sun Que said in the hall: "My boss."
After a while, someone in the room next to him responded: "Mr. Sun?"
As expected, it was Ye Yinghong's voice, weak and feeble.
Sun Que said: "My boss, I met General Li. He is in the hall now."
When they were talking in the front bunk earlier, Sun Que had a smile on his face and his voice was lighter. But as he walked in, his face gradually became serious and his voice became deeper. Li Bochen's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong.
He only wanted this moment when he heard footsteps. Ye Yinghong lifted the door curtain and walked out.
Her head was wrapped in fine cloth, and she was wearing a loose cotton robe. Her legs were unsteady when walking, and it seemed that her legs were still wrapped. It was originally white, but now that there is no blood on the face, it is even whiter.
When she saw Li Bochen, her eyes turned red. Li Bochen hated seeing a woman cry the most. He was about to step forward and say something, but he saw Sun Ding also took a step back, knelt down with Ye Yinghong, and actually kowtowed to him three times.
