Chapter 6: Move with emotion, learn with reason

Early the next morning, Jiang Ran came over according to the address.

The weapons store was in a village on the outskirts of the city. Cars couldn't drive in. Jiang Ran could only get off the car at the entrance of the village and inquire about the news with the elders and aunties who were sitting under the big banyan tree to enjoy the cool air.

Seeing that they were all elderly people in their 70s, Jiang Ran walked over and asked politely: "Grandpa and grandma, I heard that there is a store selling weapons in our village. How can I get there?"

An old lady with gray hair stared at Jiang Ran for a few times and said with a smile: "You mean Qingcheng's house? If you follow this road to the end, you will see a small courtyard made of green bricks. That is

They’re home.”

"Thank you grandma."

After thanking him, Jiang Ran walked along the stone path in the village to the end, and saw a small courtyard made of green bricks.

Different from other houses in the village, the entire courtyard is made of blue bricks. It looks a bit like a courtyard, but the courtyard walls are not high, only about one meter, and the style is more primitive, a bit like that kind of martial arts drama.

The house where the master lived in seclusion.

Considering the shopkeeper's profession, it's not surprising that there is such a house.

Walking to the door, Jiang Ran found that there was a stinging iron ring on the door. It felt so novel. If there was no apocalypse, a yard like this could be written into a novel.

Pity.

Bang bang, Jiang Ran knocked on the door knocker, and the two people in the room looked over. Jiang Ran was also listening to the movement in the room.

Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard in the courtyard, followed by the sound of the door bolt clanging.

Clang.

The door opened, and inside was a very handsome young man. His slightly unsightly eyebrows had the unique vitality and publicity of a young man.

After looking Jiang Ran up and down, the young man said, "Sister, who are you looking for?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said: "I am the person who asked about daggers on the Internet yesterday."

"???"

The young man looked horrified and closed the door with a bang.

Jiang Ran was stunned.

Although she came uninvited, there was no need to refuse so directly, right?

At this time, there was a sound of running in the courtyard, and the young man shouted anxiously: "Brother, it's not good, the guest from yesterday came to the door."

The young man came out of the house and gave the boy a violent shudder. The boy screamed in pain, held his head and said aggrievedly: "I didn't do it, I didn't give you the address."

Sighing, the young man said calmly: "Please invite someone in."

"Hey, okay."

As soon as he heard about the deal, the young man immediately beamed with joy, trotted open the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Guests, please come in."

Jiang Ran had given up at first and was just about to turn around when the courtyard door opened again.

She followed the boy into the small courtyard. The furnishings in the courtyard were very elegant. There were small nurseries on the left and right sides, where some vegetables were grown. There was also a large water tank next to it, with a few green lotus leaves floating on it.

The most eye-catching thing is the tall camphor tree in the courtyard. The smell emitted by this tree can repel mosquitoes and is perfect for enjoying the shade in summer.

Jiang Ran fell in love with this small courtyard at just one glance. Oh my God, isn't this the courtyard of her dreams?

Ah, what a pity.

If there was no apocalypse, she would build a courtyard like this in the countryside.

Plant the land, raise flowers, have a cat and a dog, and write your favorite stories in a quiet and leisurely yard.

It's so beautiful, this is the life I long for, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to realize it.

Suddenly Jiang Ran felt a little sad, and the old habit of writing writers happened again.

Seeing Jiang Ran's appearance, the young man frowned slightly, thinking that the young man's behavior just now made her unhappy.

After organizing his words in his mind, he said: "Sorry, it's a waste of time for you, we don't sell edged weapons."

Jiang Ran didn't believe it.

How can there be a boss who doesn't want to make money when he opens his business? The price must be insufficient. After all, people don't know that the end of the world is coming, and they feel that the benefits are not worth the risks, so it is normal not to sell.

She considered it and said: "If you feel that the price is not appropriate, we can discuss it. There is no other purpose for buying this dagger, it is just for self-defense."

"If I can't buy it here, I will also choose other similar items. Boss, just sell me some."

The young man also helped.

"Brother, there are so many bad people in the society, and my sister is so beautiful, she should have a self-defense weapon, and instead of buying a dagger, she can buy a Swiss Army knife."

The two took turns trying to persuade him, telling facts, reasoning, and playing emotional cards, but the young man remained unmoved and sternly refused, "Sorry, we don't sell edged weapons."

Jiang Ran: "..."

The young man shook his head helplessly. His brother was just a stubborn person. Even ten horses couldn't pull back whatever he decided.

But who is Jiang Ran?

I am an online article author. I don’t have any advantages, just a flexible mind.

Looking at the young man next to him, she suddenly had an idea and compromised: "Okay, what daggers do you have? Take them out and let me see if there are any that I can use."

A sudden turn of events.

Unexpectedly, there was still hope for things. The young man almost cried with joy. Sister, you are here to deliver money to my door.

The young man did not expect that the girl who came to him would give up so easily, and he felt relieved. He was not good at dealing with girls.

Seeing the bashful look in the young man's eyes, the young man nodded. He quickly turned around and walked into the room on the right, and took out several beautiful mahogany brocade boxes.

Opening the boxes one by one, the young man introduced all the data and advantages of these daggers to Jiang Ran.

The prices of daggers also vary. The cheap ones cost one or two thousand, while the expensive ones cost one or two thousand. They are all very beautiful.

Jiang Ran picked up the dagger, tried it out, and chose the one that felt most comfortable.

"That's it."

Seeing Jiang Ran choose the most expensive one, the young man praised it repeatedly, "Sister, you have good taste. My brother spent half a year making this knife. It is definitely the best among the best."

Then he changed the subject, "Beautiful sister, this dagger is 21480, is it Fetion or Paypay?"

"Fetion."

Jiang Ran directly scanned the QR code to transfer the money and took a photo of the dagger to confirm that what he bought was an unedged dagger.

Then she looked at the boy and said, "Brother, can you sharpen a knife?"

The young man nodded repeatedly.

His family is a maker of weapons, how could he not know how to sharpen a knife, even though he is not as skilled as his elder brother.

Jiang Ran nodded with satisfaction: "Can you please help me polish the dagger, the sharper the better."

juvenile:"???"

youth:"……"

The corners of his lips pursed slightly, "We don't sell sharpened daggers."

Jiang Ran nodded, "I know, the dagger you sold me was indeed unedged. Isn't this a personal request? One size equals one size, right brother?"

At this time, the young man also reacted and looked at Jiang Ran with admiration. This sister must have been thinking too fast.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "No problem, don't worry, sister, I won't say that cutting iron is like clay, but it's okay to blow hair and break it."

"Sister, would you like to take a look at other weapons? We have a lot of good stuff at home, which are very useful for self-defense."

"OK."

Jiang Ran has more than 60,000 yuan left, and there is no use keeping it. It would be great to have a few high-quality weapons.

Ignoring the stunned young man, the young man took Jiang Ran directly into the armory.

Looking at the weapons in the room, Jiang Ran opened his eyes wide and wanted to take them into the space.

Finally, she chose a sword of moderate weight and a length of 90 centimeters, which cost more than 40,000 yuan, and entrusted the young man to polish it together with the dagger.

Glancing at the young man outside the house, Jiang Ran whispered: "Brother, polish it better. My sister will give you an extra two thousand for your hard work. Don't tell your brother, he probably won't let you take it."

The young man nodded repeatedly.

I call you a good person in my heart! Please bring more such good guests.
