Chapter 46 The Knife is Crying
The Su family was unable to react to this scene for a moment.
A stranger suddenly appeared in their home.
He threw a bag of rice and flour and asked to share.
No matter how you think about it, this is not something a normal person would do.
"Who are you?" After coming to his senses, Su Da subconsciously stepped forward, blocking his family behind him, and quietly blocking the dining table as well.
The kitchen door was a bit low, so the man had to bow his head when he walked in. "No need to block it. Rabbit, fish, and chicken are what you eat every day."
The Su family, "..."
When did it come to light?
Has this person been sniffing outside their house for a long time?
As the man walked in, the light that was blocked outside the door poured in again, and the small kitchen immediately seemed cramped. At the same time, the man revealed his true face in front of the family.
He was tall and majestic, with a straight back and a very tall stature, half a head taller than Su Da, who was about 180 meters tall.
He wore a narrow-sleeved grey robe, a belt around his waist, black shoes, and held a broken knife in one hand.
His facial features were cold and angular, and under his disheveled hair were a pair of sharp black eyes like an eagle. When he looked at people, it was like a thousand-year-old well, cold and calm without a trace of ripples.
When the Su family saw him for the first time, two words came to their minds at the same time - deathly.
lifeless.
The aura of the other person was as if he had experienced purgatory on earth and walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Life and death were meaningless to him.
"Broken Knife." He didn't care about the Su family's scrutiny. He turned his gaze to Su Xiu'er and said, "I want to eat rice."
His name is Broken Knife.
He wants to eat.
The Su family, "..."
When Su Xiuer met those cold and calm eyes, her heart skipped a beat and her hands and feet went cold as if she was being stared at by a wild beast. She subconsciously followed the other party's order and picked up the rice bag to scoop rice to cook.
Su Er was angry, "Xiu'er, wait a minute!"
He looked at the man and cursed, "No matter what kind of knife you are, how can you barge into someone's house and ask them to cook for you? Even if you want to share the meal, you should ask us first if we are willing to do so! Do you understand the truth? -"
clang——
The silver-white broken knife flashed in the air, and the sound of the cold weapon breaking through the air was cold and fierce, shocking the heart.
Then there was another slight cracking sound, and a piece of scattered firewood on the ground split into two pieces, with the cracks even.
Su Er withdrew his gaze from the broken wood and swallowed, "Xiu, Xiu'er, cough, cook."
The others had stiff faces and twitching mouths, not knowing whether to be afraid or laugh at this scene.
But everyone understood one thing again.
In the exile zone, reasoning is a joke.
The person in front of me was already polite by simply asking for a meal together. At least he brought rice and flour with him.
People like those at Wharf Twelve would be deadly if they were beaten and killed directly at their homes.
The fire in the kitchen was soon lit again, and a rice pot was placed on the stove to cook.
During this time, the kitchen was always quiet. No one spoke and no one ate first.
This silence lasted for a long time before it was broken by a soft babbling sound.
The little baby, held tightly in the old woman's arms, waved his little hands and babbled as he reached towards the man, aiming for the half-broken knife in the man's hand.
The little body was tilted most of the way in the old woman's arms. After being hugged back, it struggled forward again, showing a determined attitude.
Seeing this, Old Lady Su and the others were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
Oh my goodness! Why are you crawling over there? That guy has a knife!
Su An's three sons snuggled at their parents' feet. At first, they were also stunned by the knife that the man swung. Now, seeing that their sister was trying to reach over there and the fierce man did not show any displeasure, the three sons became braver.
Little kids are always more curious than afraid of new things, especially the skills the man just showed off, which seemed to the boys as amazing as it could be.
"Mom, why is only half of his knife left?" Su An raised his head and asked his mother in a low voice, but in the narrow kitchen, the little boy's soft voice did not sound so soft.
Su Wu responded immediately, his eyes sparkling, "I know, I know! It must have been cut off during a fight!"
Su Wen, "That means I lost the fight! Uncle isn't that great!"
The Su family members rustled their legs.
I don't know how this will end.
These little brats at home are so brave!
Tianbao struggled hard in grandma's arms, but couldn't break free and was finally held tightly in the old woman's arms.
The little kid wrinkled his face, his eyes still glued to the knife, full of regret.
She heard a strange sound coming from the knife and just wanted to get closer to take a look, but if she continued to struggle, grandma would get hurt.
While the girl was still regretting, the knife suddenly appeared in front of her.
Old Mrs. Su was so frightened that her face turned pale. She thought the man was going to attack them, so she immediately pushed her granddaughter aside.
In just a short while, he saw his granddaughter reaching out and grabbing the cold blade.
"Tianbao!" The Su family screamed in unison, fearing that she would make the slightest mistake, and almost knelt down to the man.
Sweetie, “Giggle, giggle!”
The child's clear and innocent laughter gently echoed in the kitchen. His fair and flawless little face was tilted against the blade, and his black eyes flashed with a strange light.
The man did not make any unnecessary movements, but just held the knife horizontally with one hand, as if to accommodate the childish girl, and as if to support her with the knife to prevent her from falling.
“…” The Su family members were sweating profusely on their foreheads.
Tianbao put his ear close to the blade, and the strange sound he had heard before came into his ears again.
A picture then unfolded in her mind.
On the battlefield covered with yellow sand, thousands of troops are galloping, flags are fluttering, and drums are beating.
Roaring at the top of his lungs, amidst a sea of corpses and blood, who is it that wields a sword and rides a horse, determined and courageous, moving forward to protect the country and its people?
Finally, all the sounds merged into the knife, condensing into a low hum that ordinary people could not hear.
Tianbao's laughter gradually died down, and his face became dull.
She didn't have the ability to empathize with others, but she felt that Dao was crying.
Tianbao looked up at the person holding the knife with one hand, then suddenly reached out, and his small, soft hand gently patted the back of the big hand holding the knife.
The big hand that held the broken knife weighing dozens of pounds horizontally remained steady without any trembling, but it trembled slightly because of the light tap.
The man stared at the baby quietly with his sharp dark eyes under his messy hair. For a moment, a hint of emotion appeared in his calm eyes.
It just passed by in a flash, so fast that people couldn't see it clearly.
"The meal is done, it's ready..." The young woman's trembling voice broke the silence.
Old Mrs. Su quickly hugged her granddaughter back in her arms, and the whole family spontaneously moved to the side of the dining table.
The man walked to the dining table and sat down. A full bowl of rice was placed in front of him in due time. He picked up his chopsticks in silence and ate calmly under the gaze of eleven pairs of eyes from the Su family.
Although he looks rough and unkempt, his movements when eating are extremely elegant, with a kind of manners that ordinary people do not have.
It's totally inconsistent with the appearance.
After finishing his meal, the man put down his chopsticks, stood up, and turned to leave.
Leave a message.
"Cook more for dinner. The rice and flour will cover the cost of the meal."
When the Su family heard this, they all felt dizzy.
After the man disappeared, Su Er gritted his teeth, his face distorted with anger, "He's coming again?!"
