After May, midsummer has entered, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

It was already three o'clock at this time, and the sun was strong. The trees on the roadside were slightly wilted in the sun. Cicadas were whispering desperately in the shade of the trees.

On the official road leading to Chixian County, four fast horses were coming quickly with their whips.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a gray linen cloth and a mature face. Behind him were two soldiers with a tiger-backed, bear-backed waist and cloth armor. In addition to the bulging luggage, the three horses were also hung by swords next to the saddle, and they were brave.

There were also a group of maroon-red tall horses in the middle. On the back was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, wearing a light blue linen dress and a hat covering the sun.

Four horses passed through Qinghe Town like a gust of wind, leaving only a stream of dust rising. When they reached a fork in the road leading to the valley, the girl on the back of the jujube horse suddenly pulled the reins hard. The jujube horse suddenly neighed and stopped, and the two soldiers behind quickly tied the reins.

"Xiaoyue, we must arrive in Wancheng before sunset, and we must not delay!" The middle-aged man running in front ran out more than ten feet before he stopped his horse and shouted.

"Uncle Liu, I want to get my sword back!" said the girl bit her lips.

The middle-aged man turned his horse's head and walked over and said, "Don't be willful. Just a short sword. After returning to Xianyang, I will ask someone to help you create a better one!"

"Uncle Liu, it's only twenty miles to Xiaohe Village here, and it takes less than an hour to go back and forth. When I get my sword back and hurry up, I will definitely not miss the time. Just let me go. I will definitely listen to you on the way back to Xianyang!"

The girl seemed to beg for it, but in fact she threatened her. The middle-aged man couldn't help but tremble his eyebrows and sighed and said, "Okay, let's go and go back quickly. If that boy doesn't give it to you, don't be willful and willful. Remember your father's words, otherwise I can't help you even if I get into trouble!"

"Don't worry, I promise not to grab it!" The girl nodded happily.

"Let's go, don't waste time!" The middle-aged man rushed into the narrow path leading to the valley with a horse's belly. The girl and two soldiers quickly followed with their whips, and the four horses disappeared into the rugged mountain road in an instant.

...

"Drinking a bowl of wine to urinate, the man in the mountains loves his sister..."

In the peaceful and quiet Xiaohe Village, under the strong sunshine, two ragged teenagers are building a pergola with bamboo.

One of them waved a golden sword in his hand, slashing bamboo while shouting a very vulgar and vulgar song.

This song was learned from Chen Xu's favorite martial arts movie "New Longmen Inn", but the lyrics were slightly changed by him and it was more appropriate.

Suddenly he stopped singing and listened, then turned to look on the mountain road at the entrance of the village.

"Brother Xu, why don't you sing anymore? Sing quickly, I'm so excited!" Niu Dashi couldn't help but yell.

"Shh, just sing, how many horses are coming to our village!" Chen Xu said with a frown.

Niu Dashi also stopped his movements quickly. Sure enough, he heard the sound of horse hooves and said hesitantly: "It's not time to collect land tax, why would anyone ride a horse to our village? Could it be that something happened to Brother Erdan and the others?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you will know when you arrive later. Hurry up and notify Uncle Ma!"

"Hey, okay!" Niu Dashi threw down his hatchet and ran along the path towards the east end of the village.

As the sound of horse hooves became clearer, in less than three minutes, four fast horses had rushed into the village and soon stopped in front of Chen Xu's house.

I'm going, why is this little girl?

Looking at the four people walking slowly over, especially the girl riding on the back of the maroon horse, Chen Xu felt a little tooth pain.

When the girl saw him, she couldn't help but tighten her face. She bit her lips and her big eyes shot out an aggressive cold light. She slowly walked to a position less than three meters away from Chen Xu and said condescendingly: "You... return the sword to me!"

"Uh!" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and raised the short sword in his hand and said, "Are you talking about this sword?"

This dagger is exquisitely crafted and the bronze used is the best. The craftsmen are also skilled. They are not only beautiful, but also sharp in the sword blade. It is much more refreshing to cut bamboo than hatchets. Therefore, these days, these days, this sword is used as a tool to build toilets, furniture and build pergolas. When one sword goes down, the bamboo as thick as an arm will break with the sound.

However, the best bronze sword is still a bronze weapon, which is not very strong. Moreover, the purpose of this sword is not for combat, nor for chopping wood. Therefore, after a few days, the blade of this exquisitely made short sword has become bumpy. So Chen Xu polished it with a whetstone several times. The blade was curved and unbearable to see, and the red thin linen wrapped around the hilt of the sword had been broken and dispersed. At this time, a piece of black painted black and black linen covered with mud was randomly wrapped. The whole sword was beyond recognition except for its size and length.

"You're talking nonsense, how could this be my sword!" The girl looked at the sword that was curved and transformed like a broken copper and iron, and felt that she had been greatly insulted. She pointed at Chen Xu with her eyebrows raised and became angry.

"This is really your sword! There are inscriptions on it. If I don't believe it, I can read it to you!" Chen Xu shrugged his shoulder helplessly, looked at the name of a craftsman inscribed on the blade, and looked at the name of a craftsman inscribed on the sword several times before he could barely recognize the above Chinese characters in the official script and then pronounced the words "Xianyang Gongyang Xi"."

"Xiaoyue, this is really your sword!" The middle-aged man next to him was originally confused about the short sword that could hardly be seen in shape, but after Chen Xu read the words above, he confirmed that Chen Xu did not lie.

The girl was stunned for a moment, staring at the dagger in Chen Xu's hand with her eyes straight, and then her little face began to turn white, and flames began to rise in her eyes. The horse whip in her hand slowly raised, pointing at Chen Xu and gritting her teeth and saying, "What did you do with my sword? How could it become like this?"

Chen Xu turned his head and pointed to the awning and the back of the house he was building and said, "I see that your sword is very sharp, so I used it to cut bamboo to build a pergola, and also built a toilet..."

"You...you...I'll kill you, a shameless man in the mountains and fields!" The girl was so angry that she trembled all over, her white little face began to turn red, and her silver teeth bit the horse whip in her hand and whipped it in the air.

Chen Xu was shocked and hurriedly dodged, but it was too late. In the strong sunlight, he could only watch a black shadow slashing at him.

Damn it, why is it so unreasonable!
