Chapter Four Panic
I have been going to school on time and taking care of my grandfather for a while, which has reduced my fun. Since my grandfather’s accident, I have never escaped school, skipped classes, and even had no time to be late, mainly to avoid him and complain.
The old man sometimes feels annoying when he nagged.
But no matter what, I am also a half-grown wild boy. My naughty and naughty character cannot be changed all of a sudden. I need some entertainment in the poor and monotonous days.
So, after only more than a week of sanitation, I began to pick up the half-sharpened scissors and continue to build the great plan of flying knives.
With the magical "big stone" in Kunlun Ruins outside the village, of course, I no longer use my grandfather's whetstone. Even if I polish the flying knife on the magical "big stone" will make me dizzy and I don't care.
Chih…!
Grind it for a while and you're dizzy!
I gritted my teeth and held my feet... When it got a little better, I continued to grind it again. In this way, I could keep grinding for a few times at the beginning, and then I could grind it for three times later.
In the process, I discovered two magical things.
One is that after every dizziness, I recovered from my head, and my head was particularly clear, as if my eyes were much brighter, and I looked at the things around me.
Also... As long as my attention is not on the "big stone", my head will not be dizzy. However, the effect of sharpening the knife is the same as the effect of sharpening the pencil sharpener before, and the effect is minimal.
I grind...grind...grind...grind...
Later, the fun was not on the flying knife, but on feeling the feeling of returning to the extremely clear mind. This feeling was the only real enjoyment after my mother passed away. I was not happy with each other, and I was even a little addicted.
"Xuefeng, watch the dart!"
On that day, I was wearing a military green one-shoulder bag with a broken shoulder strap under my armpit. When I raised my hand, a white light flew out with a red shadow. In the blink of an eye, I was nailed to the poplar tree beside the road.
On the way to school, it is usually the time when I play the craziest.
After all, I polished the half-broken scissors into a flying knife that was two inches wide and long, with its sharpness even better than the brand new pencil sharpener.
Grandpa always helps people sharpen scissors. I am too familiar with the characteristics of scissors. If ordinary scissors are so bright and sharp, they will soon become darker and dull. However, I have been playing with this flying knife for more than half a month and have not seen any rust spots, and its sharpness has not diminished at all.
Did it change the material when grinding on that magical ‘big stone’?
After grinding the flying knife for half a month, my head became smarter. I could read books recently, and the teacher no longer asked questions but didn't know anything.
The most obvious thing is that I can remember those bug-like English words, which was simply impossible in the past.
"Tianqi, when will you sharpen a flying knife for me!"
Li Xuefeng envied my flying knife very much. This is not the first time I said this.
This flying knife was so amazing in my hand. I could stab wherever I wanted. I added up. On the way to school, I had already used it to destroy three mice and five sparrows, and had a lot of fruits!
"Tianqi, let me be so hard!"
"Yes, your flying knife is so good..."
“…”
Not only my brother Li Xuefeng, but other boys in the village also envied me for this flying knife, but they couldn't find the right raw materials for broken scissors, and I couldn't polish one for everyone.
"What's so fun about a broken flying knife!"
The person who said this was Wang Keyun from the village chief's family. This guy is about the same age as me, but his body shape is twice as horizontally as mine. He is a fat man with small eyes and big nose.
In Kunlun Village, the best family conditions are the village chief Wang family, except for Teacher Li's family. Many of Wang Keyun's toys can be seen on TV, such as water guns, green-skinned frogs, etc.
"Come on, everyone play with my frogs and water guns!" He said, calling a group of half-best boys around me, narrowing their eyes, but their eyes were staring at my flying knife from time to time, and there seemed to be envy, jealousy and hatred hidden in it.
After sharpening the knife for a period of time, my feelings became very sensitive, and I could simply distinguish other people's gazes and thoughts. To be honest, I was quite jealous of his green frog, but the only self-esteem of the young man made me unable to take a step. Fortunately, Xuefeng had not passed and was always by my side.
"Xuefeng, I'll give it to you!"
When Wang Keyun's eyes fell on me again, I handed the flying knife that I had finally polished out to Li Xuefeng beside me with a smile, and generously sent it out, which was a disgusting boy.
"Damn! Wang Tianqi, give me your flying knife!" Sure enough, Wang Keyun finally couldn't help but see this, walked over and said carelessly: "We are our family, why did you give it to outsiders?"
"You have to care!"
The response to him was a big roll of eyes. This kid was good at everything, but his tone was very unpleasant every time he spoke. He wanted to go over and punch a few times before savoring the wonderful feeling of the fist falling on him. I don’t remember how many times I had fought with this kid when I got so old.
"Then I will use the green-skinned frog to exchange for you to fly a knife!"
"Ha ha!"
I reached out my hand, shook it exaggeratedly, and said, "No! Now it is Xuefeng. If you want to change it, change it with him!"
"I won't change it either!"
Wang Keyun turned his gaze to Li Xuefeng, who immediately shook his head and refused.
Li Xuefeng also envied those toys at all. His sister was the first college student to go out in the village. Every time she returned home from the provincial capital, she would bring him some novel toys from the outside world, and almost all of them were educational toys, which were not my interest range.
"Buy it for me for five dollars."
Wang Keyun didn't give up and took out five yuan from his pocket. He stared at Li Xuefeng with his eyes widening.
"This is given to me by Tianqi, and it won't be sold for 100 yuan!" Li Xuefeng couldn't put down his flying knife and said without raising his head: "If you really want to find Tianqi, just let him grind the handle for you!" As he said that, the boy winked at me...
Tsk tsk!
Wang Keyun is really rich, so he only carries five yuan with him. You should know how much it costs to help someone polish a pair of scissors every time his grandfather works.
It costs five yuan, but you can buy two kilograms of meat!
"You really want to have a flying knife?"
I thought to myself that I didn’t have to use broken scissors to polish the flying knife, flatten it with steel bars as thick as my fingers, or grind it... So I said to Wang Keyun: "Okay, come on, it's five dollars, I'll give you a flying knife."
"real!"
Wang Keyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stuffed the money into my hands without saying a word.
"hey-hey!"
When I touched my nose, I glanced at the green frog in his hand indifferently and said, "Also, I'll play with this thing for a few days!"
"Give!"
Wang Keyun was very happy, put his hand on my shoulder and said, "You have to hurry up!"
"Tianqi, please help me with a good deal. I don't have money, can you owe it? I'll sell my food in a few days..."
"Yes, I'll help me play, and it's time for the Chinese New Year..."
“…”
Now, the boys in the same village along the way couldn't help but ask me to help them build them, but they didn't have money, even if they had it, they would be a bit...
"Okay! OK! OK!"
Seeing everyone's eager eyes, I felt very happy, but it was not enough to owe it. My eyes turned and I said, "You can't owe money, exchange eggs for... ten eggs..." In the countryside, eggs are equivalent to money and can be exchanged for popsicles. In the past, many people who steal grandma from the next door were good things.
After hearing this, the fat little Wang Keyun protested: "No, Tianqi, I can buy dozens of eggs for five dollars..."
...
In this way, I took over six flying knives in one go.
My grandfather's tobacco seems to be gone. I have been smoking from Grandpa Jiao these days. He has not eaten nutritious things for several days... I suddenly have five dollars in my hand and dozens of eggs will be added to the evening. I feel so happy.
When I passed by the convenience store, I bought all the five dollars for my grandfather tobacco. In my heart... it was a very fulfilling feeling. It was the first time I had made money when I grew up like this!
"Bang! Bang..."
When I got home, before I entered the door, I heard the sound of my grandfather thrusting in the yard.
After all, my grandfather was a person who couldn't lie down. In just half a month, he started working on a simple "Y" elm crutch, and even the crutch was made by himself.
"Grandpa!"
When I entered the yard, I threw my schoolbag onto the broken bed under the eaves, and I gave a plastic bag of tobacco in my hand to my grandfather.
"Then the tobacco!
Grandpa stopped what he was doing, looked up and his turbid eyes lit up a lot.
"I replaced it with a flying knife!"
Grandpa knew my flying knife, and he smashed his lips after hearing this. Without asking more questions, he smiled and said, "You kid is capable!"
"Grandpa is at home!"
Not long after, Aunt Fan from the same village walked in with a vegetable basket. Behind her, Fan Guoqing, one of the guys who booked a flying knife with me on the way back from school today.
This kid is the strongest guy among the same people in the same village and age. His father is the captain of the village's "Social Fire" team. He used to be an opera singer and was a capable man who knew how to "play". At ordinary times, three or five people were not opponents, and he never needed help from killing pigs and cattle. Every year during the Spring Festival, Fan Guoqing used the routine taught by his father to lead the lion and lead the big dragon, which was very majestic.
Fan Guoqing is also a master of play. He is comparing with me for rings, gyroscopes, slingshots, etc. However, he is not as good as me in flying knives, but his interest in flying knives seems to be far greater than mine.
