【456】 Important props
This is a black 111mm Swiss Army Knife, which is the largest model of Swiss Army Knife and is almost twice the size of the smallest 58mm.
The black handle is inlaid with a shield-shaped cross, and the Swiss proudly let their national flag appear on it, hoping that their country will have the same perseverance as the Swiss Army Knife.
Seeing that I was only interested in this saber, Wu Sheng introduced to me that it was a diplomatic gift received by his father. The model on the market is called the "Captain Centurion", but this saber is made of high-quality steel. All spare parts have also been specially reinforced, which is definitely stronger and more durable than the ordinary "Captain of Centurions". It is not an exaggeration to even call it "Captain of Thousands".
Captain of a Thousand, Captain of a Thousand? This military position seems to have played an important role on the battlefield in ancient Rome and the era of Genghis Khan. In various online novels, the description of "Spartan Captain of a Thousand" often appears (although I'm not sure if the Spartans had a number of captains of thousands, but the Persian army that fought against the 300 Spartan warriors clearly had captains of thousands or even tens of thousands).
The largest model of 111 mm, the customized upgraded version of the Centurion "Centurion", such a Spartan Swiss Army Knife, is a good thing that I can't even buy.
Although I really want it in my heart, I feel embarrassed to take such a diplomatic gift for nothing.
"Um, Brother Wu..." As expected, I just changed my name to Brother Wu Sheng because of his shortcomings. "Isn't it inappropriate to give such a precious knife to me?"
Wu Sheng sighed with a wry smile, "The spirit of the Swiss Army Knife is to encourage people to overcome difficulties and pursue a better life. My problem is that I am not afraid of difficulties, but I have no concept of a 'good life' and don't know what is worth pursuing. My father will I haven't used this knife once since it was given to me, so it's best if you take it away, because when I hold it, I always have the urge to hurt myself..."
Did you use it to commit suicide by cutting your wrist? Did you commit suicide by cutting your wrist with the Swiss Army knife that was given as a diplomatic gift? Not only did you hurt yourself, but you also hurt the friendship between China and Switzerland. In this case, this "Captain" I I accepted it without any courtesy. I will definitely make the best use of it and give it new life in my hands.
Excitedly, I took out the 111mm Swiss Army Knife from Wu Sheng's box of personal belongings and weighed it in my hand. It was neither light nor heavy for me. Holding it, I felt a comfortable sense of weight and security.
"Brother Wu, let me peel an apple for you to eat." I immediately wanted to use the Swiss Army Knife and express my gratitude to Wu Sheng.
Opening the main knife, which is also about 111 mm long, I found several rows of English words in capital letters at the base of the bright main knife. The first row is "VICTORINOX". According to Wu Sheng, this means that this saber is a Victorinox saber, and another one. A Wego military knife and the only authentic brand known as the Swiss Army Knife.
"I...let me help peel the apples..." Xiaoqin finally plucked up the courage and walked next to us and said.
I was about to hand her the saber and apple when I suddenly noticed the expression on her face, as if she had seen something that I particularly wanted to get her hands on.
I personally think that as long as they are not a transvestite like Shu Zhe, boys will like the Swiss Army Knife.
Then Xiaoqin's little bully personality hidden deep in her heart might have bad intentions and want to take my Swiss Army Knife for herself, just like the kidnapped brother Optimus Prime.
This Swiss Army Knife includes a cork drill, bottle opener, can opener, screwdriver, pliers, hacksaw, wire stripper, scissors, electric light, ballpoint pen, magnifying glass, and even a toothpick... in a completely different sense. Transformers.
Is it possible that Xiaoqin hid the saber for some reason and never returned it to me? I can't ignore this possibility. Her inexplicable excitement looks very suspicious.
"I will get all the things that classmate Ye Lin likes the most, so that classmate Ye Lin can't live without me."
She wouldn't use this logic as a guideline for her actions. Could it be that I have to use a Swiss Army Knife in the future and submit an application to you as the custodian?
I made up my mind not to let Xiaoqin touch my "captain", so I peeled the apple for Wu Sheng myself. Although it was crooked and the round apple was cut into a polygon, Wu Sheng didn't have a good appetite anyway. , took it and took two bites just out of politeness, then put it aside and continued to say to me:
"You have done me a great favor by taking over my role as the bad boy in Jinling and allowing me to go abroad to recuperate without worries. Please accept these other gadgets."
The items inside the square wooden box are basically related to Switzerland. There are Swiss francs with small denominations, including 50 centime and 5 franc coins, and a small bell with a Swiss flag brocade hanging ring, which is said to be an Alpine cow bell. Smaller version.
What is more eye-catching is the refrigerator magnet with a painting of a dying lion. It is said to be taken from the "Lion Monument of Lucerne", one of Switzerland's famous attractions, and is intended to commemorate the approximately 800 Swiss guards who sacrificed their lives to protect the French royal family during the Revolution.
This lion has such a miserable expression. He was shot in the back with an arrow and looked like he was dying... But since you are commemorating the "Swiss 800 Warriors", I will keep you even if you are unlucky.
The last piece is a Swiss quartz watch with a bright yellow bracelet. Swiss watches are world-famous, but this watch does not seem to be very expensive. It is a simple style for children to wear.
All the things put together were probably not as valuable as the "Childurion" Swiss Army Knife I accepted, so I simply stopped refusing and accepted them all.
"Brother Wu, I shamelessly asked for so many things from you. If you have anything to do in the country in the future, I will definitely help you."
Wu Sheng nodded, "I may trouble you then, but these things were originally souvenirs from Switzerland. Now that I have to go to Switzerland, there is no use keeping them."
Xiaoqin stood behind me, looking attentively at the Swiss Army Knife in my hand.
"What are you looking at?" I said warily, "This knife was given to me by Brother Wu. Why do you, a girl, want a knife?"
I took out the children's watch from the wooden box and said to Xiaoqin:
"If you can wear it, this watch will be yours."
Although it was not a Swiss Army Knife, it was something I gave her after all. Xiaoqin happily took it, gritted her teeth and put it on her wrist. Not to mention, she actually let her wear it.
She felt the pain in her wrist and smiled unnaturally.
"Classmate Ye Lin, and Wu...Brother Wu, thank you for the gift you gave me..."
Not bad, for Wu Sheng who looks very similar to me, Xiaoqin finally succeeded in fighting against androphobia and said half a sentence to Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng just nodded and smiled, as if a dying person was saying: "You young people must be happy."
I saw Xiaoqin wearing a children's watch on her left wrist.
"They say men are on the left and women are on the right. Why don't you wear it on your right hand?"
"Because, because classmate Ye Lin's watch is worn on the left hand, I must keep pace with classmate Ye Lin."
I couldn't do anything about Xiaoqin, so I rummaged through the small wooden box and found Wu Sheng's ID card underneath the souvenir.
"Hey, Brother Wu, you can't just leave this thing lying around." I said, "My aunt lost her wallet on the bus once, and someone took her ID card to open a phone shop. Later, the phone shop owed China Netcom. 5,000 yuan, but Netcom went to my aunt to ask for it. The ID card cannot just fall into the hands of others..."
Wu Sheng pushed his hand and motioned for me to let him speak first.
"I applied for this ID card when I was 16 years old. When I turned 18 this year, I applied for a new ID card. However, the person at the window made a mistake. She gave me the new ID card but did not take the old ID card. I went to destroy it, and I brought it back with the documents, so I always have two real ID cards that are valid at the same time."
I looked at the photo on the ID card. Wu Sheng was already quite depressed when he was 16 years old, and because of his younger age, the photo really looked like me.
"I heard Director Cao say that you don't want to sign your real name in the cast list when you play the villain of Jinling. You still have to use my name. This is good for the film, but it's wronging you."
No, I'm not aggrieved at all. I did this to prevent myself from becoming the fourth well-known character to play the bad guy in the 28th film, after the village bully Liu Heigou, the profiteer Xu Weiyang, and the traitor Wang Fugui.
"Since I have to use my name, there will inevitably be occasions when I need to register my identity, such as being invited to attend film award ceremonies, press conferences, etc. You will need an ID card to go through the gate. Before you can use your own name, Just take my extra ID card and try to act like a 'happy' me."
"How can this be done?" I declined, "It's one thing to play your stand-in in the film, but it's another thing to play you in real life. If Director Cao's short film really won the award for no reason, , and it’s you who should come back to receive the award.”
Wu Sheng waved his hand, "I don't even care about life and death anymore. Do you think I would care about an award? Besides, didn't you promise to help me handle chores in the country? If you hold my ID card, you can't tell the difference unless you are an acquaintance. If you don't tell the difference between you and me, wouldn't it save me the trouble of returning to China?"
"This..." I still vaguely felt something was wrong, "Brother Wu, aren't you afraid that I will use your ID to do bad things?"
"Sigh." Wu Sheng sighed, "I told you that I don't care about life or death anymore. If you can use my ID card to do something happy, just do it. Maybe I will do it instead. It’s a little fun to get out of it.”
Wu Sheng spoke so firmly that I had no choice but to accept the ID card and promised Wu Sheng that I would not use it to do anything that bothered him.
Soon it was noon, and the nurse brought Wu Sheng the lunch ordered by Director Cao, but Wu Sheng had no appetite, so he urged us to go out to eat too and hope to meet again in the future.
Walking out of the clinic with Xiaoqin, I carefully put the Swiss Army knife in my trouser pocket and held the wooden box containing souvenirs in my other hand.
Xiaoqin suddenly said: "Among the things Brother Wu gave me, the ID card is the most useful..."
"Ah, isn't it a Swiss Army Knife? It's obviously the Swiss Army Knife that even you covet, right? What's the use of an ID card?"
"It's...useful."
Xiaoqin's face turned red as she spoke.
"What's the use? Just like the thief who stole my aunt's wallet, just use it to apply for a call."
Xiaoqin murmured, extremely shy, and stumbled and said:
Chapter completed!
