"Haha, this is the exquisiteness of this knife!" The old man pulled up his sleeves. It turned out that he had a two-and-a-half-inch wide wrist guard on his wrist, and the silver wire was connected to it. There was a knife sheath on the wrist guard, which seemed to be the place to put the golden knife. Xie Wendong finally understood why he didn't see how the old man held the knife. With such a mechanism, the wrist can be slightly moved to control the mechanism, and the golden knife will naturally fall into the hand. It is really hard to defend against when fighting with others!
The old man held up the silver wire and said, "Don't underestimate this thin silver wire. It is made of an alloy used in the military. It is extremely strong and sharp. Even a few hundred kilograms of force can hardly break it. If you put it around a person's neck, a little force will result in his head and body being torn into two pieces!"
Xie Wendong pinched the silver wire in surprise, not believing that it was so thin that it was almost invisible, and pulled it hard with both hands, and felt a huge pain in his fingers. Xie Wendong looked down and saw a thin cut on the thumb and index finger of both hands, and blood flowed out instantly.
The old man shook his head and asked his men to bring the medicine box. He sighed and said, "Young man, it's good to be curious, but you have to use it wisely. Otherwise, it will be reckless and you will suffer in the future!"
Xie Wendong raised his hands with a bitter face to slow down the blood flow, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, old man, I shouldn't have doubted your words, and now I'm getting my retribution!"
The old man shook his head after hearing this, "You..."
Jin Rong, who was busy making coffee for Xie Wendong in the kitchen, heard her grandfather's voice coming out of the kitchen. Seeing Xie Wendong holding up his bloody hands, she was so scared that she shrank into a ball. She hurried over and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what happened?"
Xie Wendong gave an ugly smile: "I broke it by accident, it's nothing!"
"It's nothing, but so much blood has been shed. How could you be so careless!" Jin Rong opened the medicine box brought by the servant, took out hydrogen peroxide and wiped the blood off the wound on Xie Wendong's hand, then poured Yunnan Baiyao on it, carefully wrapped the wound with a medical cloth, and asked Xie Wendong from time to time if it hurt. Looking at Jin Rong's careful look and her slightly red face due to anxiety, Xie Wendong felt a warm current in his heart, and his thoughts flew far away. He felt that he had another feeling for Jin Rong, not the feeling of treating her as a sister like three years ago, but the feelings between men and women. Xie Wendong was very scared and felt that this was shameless. Jin Rong was like an innocent and beautiful little angel, but what was he? A bad guy! A devil! These words were not exaggerated when used on him, and he naturally felt inferior.
"It's done, big brother, what do you think of my wrapping?" Jin Rong's crisp voice pulled Xie Wendong back to his wandering thoughts. He raised his head and smiled shyly. He looked at the wound on his finger and saw that it had been bandaged. There were also butterfly knots on it. Xie Wendong couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "What is this?"
"Butterfly Festival, very beautiful! Otherwise, it would be so ugly to have two bun-like-looking bandages wrapped around my fingers!!"
Xie Wendong knocked his head in silence.
The old man smiled at the two of them, slowly took off the wrist guard, and placed it on the coffee table together with the golden knife. He asked with interest: "Wendong, are you interested in learning?"
Jin Rong said dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa, look at my elder brother's hand, it's already cut, why are you letting him learn it!"
Although Xie Wendong was scratched the first time he saw this thing, he still liked this set of golden knives. He was not very old, and like his peers, he preferred guns and knives. He nodded and said, "Grandpa, can you demonstrate it? After all, everyone uses guns now. Is a knife more useful than a gun?"
"Haha, there are so many wonderful things here. You can only know it after using it yourself! Just watch..." As he said this, the old man took the golden hand in his hand, turned his hand over, palm down, and the golden knife quickly rotated in his hand without falling to the ground, as if it was sucked into the old man's hand. Then, the old man pinched the blade with two fingers, picked up an apple at the same time, and started to peel the apple with only one hand. There was a 'rustling' sound, and in just a short while, the apple skin was peeled cleanly. Xie Wendong was amazed at what he saw, which was basically beyond his imagination.
The old man put the apple on a plate, cut it into three pieces, and gave them to Xie Wendong and Jin Rong. Seeing that Xie Wendong's mouth was still open, he smiled and said, "If you are good at using a knife, it is more powerful than a gun, but the skills involved are not something that ordinary people can master. There are not many people who play with knives now, and everyone just wants to practice gun skills! Back then, Mr. Du Yuesheng was a master at using a knife. He could peel two small apples with one hand! Haha!"
Xie Wendong closed his mouth and swallowed his saliva, and said sincerely: "Old man, I will learn!" How could Xie Wendong let go of such a great opportunity? He quickly agreed. Then he said with embarrassment: "But old man, you are leaving soon, I am afraid I can't learn it!"
The old man said, "In fact, the principles and techniques are very simple. You can master them quickly with your brain. You will definitely achieve something with more practice. We have known each other for such a long time and I have never given you anything. This golden sword is my gift to you!"
Xie Wendong knew that this golden sword was not an ordinary thing, and it was also the old man's favorite self-defense weapon for many years. He did not dare to accept it easily, and said politely: "Old man, in fact, you have already given me the gift of meeting. The principles of Tai Chi you taught me are the best gift. You should take this sword with you, and I will make a similar one!"
The old man nodded secretly, and he liked Xie Wendong more and more. He deliberately said with a serious face: "It is not my intention to teach you Tai Chi, but after hearing some of your stories, I know that you are still too young and don't know how to be tactful. Whether you are in the underworld or the underworld, sometimes gentleness is better than toughness, and it can achieve unexpected results. Teaching you these is to repay you for saving Rongrong. But you have to accept this knife, it is a friendship between us! Don't be modest, this thing may save your life when you encounter danger in the future!"
Xie Wendong knew that if he didn't accept it, the other party would not be able to get down and carry it. He couldn't refuse anymore, so he stood up, thanked the old man and took the knife.
The old man smiled and said, "That's right. Being too humble would make you look unorthodox!"
Xie Wendong nodded. The old man picked up the wristband and told Xie Wendong the mechanisms one by one, and the latter memorized them carefully. Watching the two teaching and learning, Jin Rong felt bored. At around nine o'clock, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She said goodbye and went back to her room to sleep. After a while, the old man looked at the watch and saw that it was ten o'clock. He said to Xie Wendong: "Don't go back today, stay here!"
Xie Wendong was very interested in the knife skills the old man talked about, and nodded repeatedly after listening. The two practiced until two in the morning. After all, the old man was old, unlike Xie Wendong who was young and strong and could stay up late, and he looked listless. Xie Wendong said sympathetically: "Old man, I think we should stop here today, you go and rest first, I am a little sleepy too!"
"Yes!" The old man said, "Practicing swordsmanship requires both talent and time. You have good talent, but don't rush to succeed. That won't help. Just work harder in the future and don't waste time!"
"Yes, old man, I remember!" Xie Wendong stood up and helped Jin Peng up. The old man patted his numb legs and sighed, "Time is unforgiving. My legs can't bear it after sitting for just a short while. The world in the future belongs to you young people!"
Xie Wendong said obediently: "That also requires the support of the old man. I still have a lot to learn from you!"
"Haha!" Although Jin Peng knew it was just a polite remark, he was still very happy.
At around four in the morning, Jin Peng woke up Xie Wendong while he was sleeping soundly. After he put on his clothes, he took him to the small garden behind the villa. Jin Peng sat on the grass and said, "You haven't practiced the sitting and breathing method I taught you, have you?!"
Xie Wendong said embarrassedly: "I've been too busy recently, going to bed late and getting up early, so I really can't spare the time."
Jin Peng said: "Even if you can't spare the time, you can't waste it. Practicing seriously every day is good for your body! Come, practice with me. We haven't meditated together for a long time!"
This is true! Xie Wendong sighed in his heart. He sat on the ground and exhaled with the old man facing east. Following the method taught by the old man, his breathing gradually slowed down, and every time he exhaled, he exhaled all the air in his lungs. He breathed less than ten times a minute (normal people breathe about thirty times).
The villa is located in the suburbs, and the air is much fresher than in the city. The sun rises slowly, and a breeze blows from time to time, and the surroundings are in a peaceful state. Xie Wendong, who is sitting cross-legged, is really calm and refreshed at this time, and his mind seems to fly out of his body and merge with the flowers, plants and trees.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Wendong came back to his senses. At this time, the old man had already stood up and returned to the house, took out two cups of coffee, and handed them to Xie Wendong with a smile. Xie Wendong asked curiously, "Have I been sitting for a long time?"
"Yeah! Almost two hours!"
Xie Wendong stood up, stretched out his arms, and said happily: "I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time, I feel very comfortable!"
The old man smiled and said, "This is also the secret. Practice more in the future, it will be of great benefit to you!"
Xie Wendong believed that the broad spirit of Chinese Qigong would not bring any harm even if there was no benefit in practicing it. Xie Wendong took a sip of coffee and said with a refreshed spirit: "Old man, let's continue practicing swords!"
Jin Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go eat first! If there's nothing else to do in the gang, stay for a few more days, and we can chat more. I can teach you how to practice swordplay in my free time. What do you think?"
Xie Wendong had no objection, as he also wanted to learn more from the old man. "That's great! I'll give you the phone number later, but I'm sorry to bother you again!"
Before dinner, Xie Wendong called Sanyan to ask him if there was any news from Jiang Sen. Sanyan said, "From what he said, it seems that it will take a few days. I heard that Huo Hong is under strict surveillance, and Lao Sen will not be able to find out anything for a while!"
"Okay, call me when you have news. I'll stay at the old man's place for a few more days! Also, if there's anything happening with the gang, tell me immediately. I'll trouble you to take care of the gang for the time being!"
Sanyan said "yes" and asked when Xie Wendong would be back. Xie Wendong was not sure about this and just vaguely said he would be back in a while.
