Chapter 6 Two Knives Hanging on the Wall
"I really won!" Zhao Jin argued hastily. Although the matter was small, he was very dissatisfied that he had done it but was not believed.
Realizing that his nephew didn't look like he was lying, Zhao Zhenxing had a smile on his face, touched Zhao Jin's forehead, and asked gently: "Tell me, uncle, how you won."
What's there to say about children fighting? Zhao Jin's first reaction was to think so, but then he noticed that his uncle Zhao Zhenxing's eyes were serious. Zhao Jin felt strange, but he still told the whole process.
Zhao Zhenxing listened carefully, and when he heard the last word, a look of understanding appeared on his face, and he smiled and said: "The Chen family's single sword is the Qi family's way. Chen Sheng should have been practicing since he was five years old, but he was knocked down by you. It's because he has little experience, and secondly, Xiao Jin, you actually rushed up to him and fought hand to hand, making it impossible for him to use the short stick in his hand. I guess you won't be able to take advantage of him next time."
Even with Zhao Jin's historical level, he has heard of the Qi Family Army, which was the army of Qi Jiguang, the famous military god of the Ming Dynasty. However, Qi Jiguang has nothing to do with Xuzhou City. I don't know how the Chen family has a connection with this.
Zhao Zhenxing continued with a smile: "Chen Sheng's grandfather served as General Qi's personal guard. He used this relationship to get an inspection mission back to Xuzhou. His swordsmanship is based on the methods used in battle formations and battlefields. It is very easy to use."
At this point, Zhao Zhenxing shook his head and laughed at himself: "Why are you talking so much? You can't understand it."
After laughing at himself, Zhao Zhenxing asked Zhao Jin again: "Xiao Jin, what are you doing here to see your uncle? Are you afraid that your parents will blame you if you go back to fight? Don't be afraid, uncle will intercede for you!"
Zhao Jin really couldn't understand Qi Jiguang's personal guards and Xuzhou's inspection errands, but he could tell that his uncle Zhao Zhenxing was in a good mood, and the chance of success in making requests at this time would be much greater.
Zhao Jin raised his head and stared at his uncle, tried his best to look serious, and said: "Second uncle, I want to learn martial arts!"
Children are children after all. They look serious, but in the eyes of adults, they look very cute. Uncle Zhao Zhenxing couldn't help but laugh. He was about to tease him a few words, but when he realized what Zhao Jin said, he was stunned and asked. : "Xiao Jin, do you want to learn martial arts?"
Zhao Jin nodded vigorously. He knew that adults would not take children's requests seriously. However, during lunch today, Zhao Zhenxing sincerely suggested that his parents let him learn martial arts. In his memory, his uncle Zhao Zhenxing said this more than once. However, his parents disagreed, and in the past, Zhao Jin was afraid of things and tiredness, and was unwilling to endure hardship, so he never did it.
Zhao Zhenxing stared at Zhao Jin for a while. He found that his nephew's expression was very serious. Zhao Zhenxing's expression became more serious and asked solemnly: "Xiao Jin, you were not willing to use swords and guns in the past. Why do you want to learn martial arts today?" Yes? Why?"
"I want to beat others!" Zhao Jin said loudly, he responded quickly, and this reason is more acceptable to others, such as "it is necessary to strengthen oneself, and it is difficult to take the two paths of studying literature and doing business." Of course I can't say.
Uncle Zhao Zhenxing nodded slowly. After a boy wins a fight, the feeling of victory is unparalleled. His nephew used to be a coward, but he happened to win this fight. Maybe he started to want to learn martial arts. A smile appeared on Zhao Zhenxing's face. He has always wanted his only child to learn martial arts, but he has never succeeded. His brother and sister-in-law feel sorry for the child, and Zhao Jin himself is also cowardly. Zhao Zhenxing has always been worried about this matter.
He has traveled extensively and experienced a lot. He understands the world better than his older brothers and sisters who have never been out in Xuzhou. He knows that as a man, you must have martial arts skills and the ability to protect yourself. Zhao Jin has never been smart in novels and has struggled to study in a private school.
, not to mention other things, the only way out is to learn martial arts, but no one listens no matter what, and the older the child is, the more troublesome it is to learn martial arts. Zhao Zhenxing has always been thinking about this, and he never thought that Zhao Jin would bring it up today.
The smile on Zhao Zhenxing's face became thicker and thicker. He patted Zhao Jin's thin shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as you follow your uncle and study hard, you will definitely win. But it's useless for you to tell your uncle. You need your father."
Mom must agree. I will go to my parents tonight and ask Xiao Jin if you are willing to learn martial arts. What do you say, Xiao Jin?"
Of course Zhao Jin understood this routine and immediately replied loudly: "I said I am willing!"
Zhao Zhenxing smiled and nodded, looked up and down at Zhao Jin, shook his head and said: "Go to uncle's house first, and I will wipe the dirt clean for you, otherwise you will be scolded again when you go back!"
Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of learning martial arts this time was achieved. During lunch, his father Zhao Zhentang said to his uncle, "You are good at martial arts." He remembered this sentence very clearly. Of course, learning martial arts requires someone who has real ability and can work hard.
As a professor, my calm uncle is the best choice.
In the past, Zhao Jin was timid and timid. He came here to ask his uncle Zhao Zhenxing for dinner many times, but never dared to go in. But now Zhao Jin doesn't care and follows Zhao Zhenxing to the side courtyard room.
The place here is not big, and there is a heated kang in the room, which is covered with a wolf-skin mattress. The window paper is yellow, but there are no holes, and it is very warm. Zhao Zhenxing asked Zhao Jin to sit for a while while he went to fetch water.
Zhao Jin looked around, and several things caught his attention. A spear was hanging on the roof. The spear was more than nine feet long. A bow was placed on a wooden box next to the kang.
After being removed, the two feathered arrows were placed there casually. There were no New Year pictures or anything on the wall, but there were two knives hanging on it.
These two knives are very incongruous with this house. One knife is more than a foot long, with a curved blade and a black leather scabbard. There is a circular badge on the scabbard. The pattern of the badge is a horizontal bar on the top and a triangle on the bottom.
Distribution of three black dots, black symbols, gold background, black skin and
The golden badges are very dim, and the blade is very old. The other knife is not so exquisite. It doesn't even have a scabbard. The blade is covered with a bag. It is more than four feet long, has a thick back and a square head, and the wooden handle is covered with cloth.
The strips were wrapped around each other, and there were some black and purple stains on the strips, which looked like blood stains over the years.
The spears and bows and arrows were all Han style, and Zhao Jin had seen them many times in the past on various occasions, but the short sword was clearly in the shape of a Japanese sword, what kind of "rib difference", and the thick back and square head
Zhao Jin had also seen the knife in the Museum Folk Village and other places. It should be the knife used by the Miao and Yao people in southwest China.
How could his uncle have Japanese knives and Yao knives? In this era, many people have never left their hometowns in their lives, let alone the circulation of specialties from various places. How did these knives come from thousands of miles apart? Could it be Japanese pirates? But then
How did you get the Yao Dao?
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Zhenxing walked in with a basin of water. The good thing about children is that they can ask questions at any time if they don't know, and others won't blame them. Zhao Jin pointed at the two knives on the wall and asked curiously:
"Uncle, what is this?"
Zhao Zhenxing glanced at it and said calmly: "The black scabbard is a Japanese sword, worn by the generals and servants over there, and the other is a Yao sword, belonging to the chieftain guards in Guizhou.
"
"Uncle, where did you get these two knives? Did you buy them?" Zhao Jin asked pretending to be innocent. In fact, children should ask where Guizhou and Japan are, and even ask what toast is, but they would not ask this.
.
But Zhao Jin's question obviously aroused Zhao Zhenxing's thoughts. Zhao Zhenxing originally bent down to pat the dust off Zhao Jin's body. When he heard this, his body stiffened for a moment. In the end, he sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Back in the war,
of seizure.”
Seizure? Simply seizing it is still reasonable, but Japanese swords and Yao swords will not appear on the same battlefield. As an uncle, he not only has good martial arts, but also has many stories.
Noticing that Zhao Zhenxing's mood became depressed, Zhao Jin knew it and did not ask any more questions.
After Zhao Zhenxing dusted Zhao Jin, he wetted his hand towel and began to wipe it. Zhao Zhenxing's movements were very meticulous. Zhao Jin had only felt the care of his elders in this life. At such moments, he became very quiet.
But Zhao Jin also noticed that Zhao Zhenxing was indeed in poor health. The act of wiping his clothes seemed to involve something, which made Zhao Zhenxing grit his teeth from time to time and endure the pain.
When everything was almost done, Zhao Zhenxing smiled again and said to Zhao Jin: "Xiao Jin, you go home first and tell your mother that your uncle is going to have dinner tonight."
Zhao Jin quickly agreed, and Zhao Zhenxing smiled and warned: "Don't talk about learning martial arts for now, wait until uncle passes."
