Chapter 328 Knife

According to Erika Machida, the ancestors of the Machida family indeed produced talented people! But it is not the ancestors, but the modern times, the grandfathers of Qin and Qing’s grandfathers. At that time, just in time for the Reformation, Machida Taro, who wanted to get ahead, bought a samurai sword with all his savings and went to Tokyo, but he didn’t stand in line. He became a member of the shogunate, so not only did he fail to succeed in the end, he also broke his hand because of the armed struggle, and finally fled back to the horses in desperation...

But after all, people who have been to big cities and seen the big world have somewhat opened their eyes, so Machida Taro did not give up after returning to his hometown, and somehow got in touch with the local tyrants, and then played around With some money, I built this big house for my family.

Other than that, Taro Machida left nothing for the family...

Oh, it can't be said that there is nothing at all, but the knife he used to make a living is still kept.

Of course, it was no longer the original one—that one had been cut open due to fierce fighting, and was directly eliminated and thrown away in the later stage. Instead, after he returned to his hometown, in order to show his bravery, he deliberately A great knife for a great price!

It was not sold due to various reasons, and it became a souvenir and was stored in the warehouse at home. Apart from taking it out every now and then for maintenance, it is useless.

It is also pitiful.

As for grandpa's father...

It didn't catch up with the good time, so although Machida Taro had some connections in the local area of ​​Yasunaka City, he would not starve to death, but he couldn't start a family, so even the grandfather with Qin and Qing didn't become famous, so he could only stick to it Living in the old house is not enough, but it is more than enough. It was not until Qin Heqing's mother, the eldest of the Machida family, married Qin Heqing's father, that the life of the Machida family became easier.

This is also the reason why Machida Sonoko is so close to Qin Heqing's family——

Because in the past, she was supported and raised by Qin Heqing's family a lot, so she is naturally grateful and remembered.

"Can I have a look at that knife?" Hearing this, Qin and Qingchao's grandmother asked.

"It's just a knife, what's so interesting about it." Erika said indifferently.

"After all, it is the weapon used by Taigong to start the family business. It is considered a treasure of our Machida family. I am curious." Qin Heqing said coquettishly with a big face.

"Okay, I'll get it for you." Seeing this, the old lady Erika couldn't say anything, she stood up and said.

"No, no, just tell me where it is, and I'll just get it myself." Qin Heqing stopped him quickly.

After all, he is in his fifties or sixties. Although he looks healthy and healthy, who knows what's going on inside?

What's more, his physical fitness is also there. If something bad happens because of such a trivial matter, then Qin Heqing will feel very sorry.

"It's in the box on the top of the innermost cabinet in the warehouse in the back room. Remember to be careful and don't fall." Hui Lixiang didn't force her, she took the opportunity to sit down again, and said to Qin and Qing.

"okay."

Then Qin Heqing got up and quickly moved towards the back room.

Although it was his first visit to Machida's hometown, it didn't mean that the original Qin Heqing also came to Machida's hometown for the first time. Of course, he didn't lack memories about Machida's house and knew the house layout of Machida's house, so Qin Heqing found it without much effort. After entering the warehouse that Erika had mentioned, he opened the door and looked inside——

In an instant, a room with an area of ​​about 30 square meters caught his eyes!

It is full of all kinds of old or modern or no longer used sundries, which are scattered around the room, occupying half of the small space of the room, leaving only a passage almost one person wide to go directly to it. The inner end of the room.

Qin Heqing didn't hesitate. After looking around the room, he went straight into the warehouse, walked along the path to the innermost cabinet, put his foot down a little, and took down the rectangular wooden box placed on the uppermost shelf of the cabinet. , Gently blowing air to blow off the floating ash that fell on the surface, and opened the sliding cover of the box with his hands.

Immediately, a well-maintained samurai sword with a black and bright scabbard came into his eyes.

The sheath was tied with a red string, and the hilt was attached with a yellow tail, lying quietly in the box, making it look more like a handicraft than a murderous weapon.

Of course, this is also related to the experience of this knife. If it is a real murderous weapon, it cannot be preserved so well and so brightly.

Then Qin Heqing closed the lid, turned around and left the warehouse with the wooden box in his arms, and returned to the front living room.

"Is this it?"

"Well, that's it. When your grandfather was around, he liked to take it out and play with it for a long time, and he didn't know what fun to play with such a dangerous thing." Erika complained with a face full of reverie.

I don't know if I'm complaining about the knife, or my old man's incomprehensible style?

"It seems that my grandfather is still a person who loves swords." Qin Heqing said with a dry smile.

Then open the lid again and take out the knife.

"Kill!"

Qin Heqing pulled the knife out slightly with both hands.

The cold light suddenly appeared, and the cold air surged out, pressing on the cheeks.

"What a strong spirit." Qin Heqing said in surprise.

This kind of strength is not something that ordinary handmade swords can have. Basically, it is difficult for weapons that are not famous products or made by famous masters to produce similar vigor!

It can be seen that the origin of this knife should be very extraordinary, and it should be a good thing that Machida Taro spent a lot of time getting.

It's a pity that the precious sword has been covered with dust and has been shelved and no one uses it. It can be regarded as a waste of another kind of resources.

Then Qin Heqing pulled the knife out of the scabbard, checked the blade and edge of the knife with his hands, and felt its condition.

"Be careful, don't cut your hands." Erika reminded.

"kindness."

"Do you like it very much?" After another moment of silence, Erika asked thoughtfully after noticing Qin Heqing's inadvertent expression.

"Yes, grandma. You also know that I have practiced kendo, so I have always been very sensitive to knives, but my mother has never agreed with me to buy this kind of thing, so..." Qin Heqing looked up at Erika and explained.

Of course, these words are not completely nonsense, but the original thought that Qin Heqing really had in his heart, but now he has borrowed it.

"If that's the case, you can take this knife away. It's useless for me to keep it at home anyway. Instead, I have to spend time and energy maintaining it. I don't have that kind of leisure." Hearing that, Erika didn't hesitate, and immediately said something Said.

"Is it possible?" Qin Heqing asked in surprise.

"Of course. I'm just a grandson like you. If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?" Erika Machida said as a matter of course.

Thinking about it is also true.

There is no boy in the Machida family, one of the daughters has already passed away, and the other is not yet married. Naturally, there are no offspring to consider. Coupled with the relationship between Qin Heqing and Machida Yuanzi, even if it is finally passed down to Machida Yuanzi, it will probably fall into the hands of Machida Yuanzi. On Qin Heqing's side, it would be better to just hand over the things right now than to have to do it a second time.

It just happens to be able to find a suitable owner for these commemorative things.

Her old lady is not confused enough to be a governor.
