The short sword weighs about six or seven kilograms, is about fifty centimeters long, is 1.5 centimeters thick and three centimeters wide. The tip of the sword is triangular. Although the surface is slightly rusty, the steel patterns on the sword are still fine and even. Li Yanqing can tell the quality of the steel. This is actually made of excellent top-grade real steel, representing the highest smelting level in the Song Dynasty.

Li Yanqing's eyes gradually lit up. He seemed to think of something, and quickly wiped the sword spine with his sleeve, and indeed a line of fine engravings were revealed, for the swordsman camp military use.

Li Yanqing was suddenly excited. This sword turned out to be the famous thick-bone short-body sword in the Song Dynasty and the special battle sword of the Song army's swordsman camp.

The Han and Tang dynasties were the world of swords, but by the Song Dynasty, swords were revived. On the one hand, the Song army lacked horses and there was little demand for swords suitable for chopping.

But more importantly, the Song Dynasty entered the era of heavy armor. After the Khitans obtained Youzhou, they learned the wise iron smelting technology. At the same time, the production of pig iron has increased sharply, and the armor they built is no different from that of the Song army.

In addition, they were almost all cavalrymen, and they basically cut off the enemy's armor with combat swords. Only with sword stabs can they penetrate through the gaps in the armor, stab or stab the enemy to death. This is the main reason why the Song Dynasty began to use guns and swords in large quantities.

The thick-bone and short-body sword is the most famous war sword in the Song Dynasty. After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was almost destroyed by the Mongolian army and could no longer be seen in later generations. Li Yanqing once saw its figure in a Song painting. It can be stabbed or cut, and even used as a strike weapon like a whip mace, which is very practical.

This kind of swordsman-specific battle sword is not available in the county's sword shops. Unexpectedly, he actually saw it at a farmer's home.

He waved the sword a few times, and the touch felt very good, but it was a little heavier, but he was acceptable. He immediately fell in love with this sword, which could be used to practice the sword skills that Uncle Hu gave him.

"That's my grandfather's sword, how can you take someone else's things at will?"

When Li Yanqing turned around, the two little ladies who just called him Uncle Qing ran back at some point.

Li Yanqing put the sword back in place. Although the master used it to cushion the foot of the cabinet and did not care much, it was not his thing after all, and he did not want to lose the price in front of the two younger generations.

"Sister, Uncle Qing likes that sword and give it to him!" Xier pulled his sister's sleeve next to her.

"His surname is Li, our surname is Zhang. Where is his uncle?" The eldest sister glared at her sister unhappily.

Xier lowered her head and didn't dare to speak anymore. The eldest sister walked up and down to look at Li Yanqing, "I just thought you looked familiar. I just remembered that I had played with you before, but you were not like this before. You are from Liwen Village and there is a big black dog at home, right!"

Li Wencun is only two or three miles away from here at most. It is normal for this little lady to see him, but he used to be a little mud monkey and was very stupid, but now he is a handsome gentleman. No wonder this little lady didn't recognize him at the beginning.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Your mother is the same as me, so she also calls me brother. If you don't call me Uncle Qing, what's the name?"

"My father's surname is Zhang, and it has nothing to do with your Li family. What my mother calls you has nothing to do with me."

When Li Yanqing heard that she was confused and didn't like her, she asked casually: "Since your surname is Zhang, what's your name?"

"My sister is Zhang Dayan!"

The younger sister behind answered for her sister, and Dayan turned around and glared at her, "Why are you talking too much?"

Li Yanqing liked this well-behaved sister, so he lowered his head and smiled, "I understand, your name is Zhang Xiaoyan, right?"

"No! My name is Xique, Uncle Qing calls me Xique, Xier can do it."

"Little idiot, you told me everything!" Dayan glared at her sister again.

The little sister stuck out her tongue and lowered her head.

Dayan looked at Li Yanqing with a smile again and approached him little by little, "Little brother, don't move! Sister whispers to you!"

The wild goose coaxed Li Yanqing in her mouth, and suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Yanqing's ear. Li Yanqing had long seen that her motive was impure, so she turned sideways and dodged without waiting for her to catch her.

The wild goose grabbed her for nothing, and she stomped her feet in hatred, pounced on Li Yanqing like a cat, and cursed: "You dead monkey, you actually asked me to call you uncle, see how I deal with you!"

"Sister, don't beat me, uncle is going to be angry." The younger sister Xi Mai jumped straight into anger.

Li Yanqing was extremely fast and quickly dodged. When he turned to the door, he took out another ten cents of money, held it gently in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not that you are just a waste of time. Call me Uncle Qing, I'll give you this ten cents."

When the wild goose saw ten cents, her eyes lit up, and the anger in her heart disappeared without a trace. Just now, Li Yanqing gave her twenty cents to buy a copper hairpin. This was the first time she had so much New Year's money.

Her family is relatively poor, and her parents want to use it in half a penny. Even if there are some good things for her brother, it is not their turn to her sisters. This new outfit was bought by her uncle for them.

The New Year's money is only one or two, but by chance, the uncle from the capital came a little more. She has never had such a lot of money at once like today.

She stared at the ten cents in Li Yanqing's hand, but was thinking about how to get the ten cents of this silly boy's hand. With this ten cent, she could buy a silk flower again.

She coaxed Li Yanqing with a smile on her face and said, "Good brother, if you give the money to your sister, your sister will not be angry. I will accompany you to get the bird egg!"

"No! The rules for respecting elders are here. If your mother calls me brother, you have to call me Uncle Qing."

The wild goose was hesitant. Seeing that she was about to surrender, Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Since you don't want to scream, then forget it, I won't force you."

As he said that, he wanted to put the money back in his pocket. Dayan was anxious and finally shouted, "Qing... Uncle!"

"That's right! Respecting elders is also beneficial, so why not do it?"

The wild geese grabbed ten cents, fearing that Li Yanqing would regret it, so they ran away without even speaking a few words. The magpies also wanted to follow their sister. Li Yanqing grabbed her and smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll give you ten cents too."

The magpie waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't want it. It's okay to call uncle. How can I ask for money?"

Seeing that she was well-behaved and sensible, Li Yanqing liked her, so he stuffed ten cents into her little hand, "Go to buy candy for you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Qing!"

The magpie smiled and took the money and went out to chase her sister.

Seeing that their sisters had run away, Li Yanqing calmed down and began to rush his homework.

In the afternoon and evening, Li Dongdong came to invite Li Yanqing to dinner. At this time, Li Yanqing had finished his homework and was enjoying the short sword.

"If Brother Qing likes this sword, I will give it to you!" Li Dongdong walked into the house and said with a smile.

"How can you be so embarrassed!"

"This is my uncle's sword. He treats it as a treasure. After he passed away, no one asked for this sword. My father likes to collect old things, so he picks it up. I'm afraid you will dislike it. If you don't dislike it, you will give it to you."

"Then I'm not polite!"

Li Yanqing was overjoyed. This trip was not in vain, but he actually got a good sword.

At this time, Li Dongdong pulled Li Yanqing and smiled and said, "The table is open soon, I'm waiting for you, let's go!"

Li Yanqing put the sword into his book bag and followed Li Dongdong to the front lobby. He asked with a smile: "Is the patriarch here?"

"I've come a long time ago, the contract has been signed. Your father told us not to disturb you, so he didn't call you."

Li Yanqing was not worried. Yesterday he went to Lushan Town again and read the contract draft. The patriarch thought it very carefully and was more careful than he thought. The contract had been finalized, and today he was just here to sign and seal it.

Li Yanqing came to the lobby. The lobby was very lively. Twenty or thirty people gathered together. Li Dongdong set up three tables of banquets, a table of chairman in the lobby, and two tables of accompanying seats in the yard.

Today, the guests are mainly from Qianshan Village. Except for a few tribe members who had seen them while worshiping ancestors, they had some impressions, they didn't know anyone else.

Li Dongdong pulled Li Yanqing to introduce to the neighbors. When the neighbors heard that the boy in front of him was Li Yanqing, who won the championship in the boys, they couldn't help but feel respect and stood up to salute.

Li Yanqing smiled and returned the gift to everyone. Li Dongdong pulled him into the main hall. Li Wenyou, who was sitting in the main seat, saw Li Yanqing and waved quickly, "Qing'er, come here to sit!"

The guests in the main hall praised Li Wenyou, praising the Li family for having another Jinshi in the future, which made Li Wenyou feel excited and smiled when he stroked his beard.

When Li Yanqing and everyone greeted everyone, they did not see their father, so they asked Li Wenyou, "Class leader, where is my father?"

Li Wenyou smiled, "He has gone back in advance if he has urgent needs."

Li Yanqing was stunned. My father went back, so why didn’t he say to himself, “Class leader, what’s the urgent matter in my family?”
