Mystery of fierce knife

Grandpa mentioned a strange thing many times before his death: Wang Guaizi of the blacksmith's shop hit two kitchen knives with a murderous sabre. Knife drinks human blood and is spiritual. The master will rustle at night before encountering the disaster of blood loss. Why on earth is this?

My grandfather mentioned a strange thing many times before his death: he said that he had a brother who was crippled in his right leg and limped, and people called him King Abductor. Wang Guaizi opened a blacksmith shop outside the west gate. He once hit two kitchen knives with a murderous saber. The knife is full of blood and spiritual. Master will rustle at night before he encounters the disaster of mass annihilation.

In the early years, ironware used in people's homes, such as scissors, kitchen knives, iron pots, plows, rakes and hoes for farming, were all made by blacksmiths. Wang Guaizi's blacksmith's shop specializes in making knives without other iron tools. The knife rest at the door is filled with kitchen knives, pig-killing knives, peeling knives, boning knife, wood chopping knives, etc. And there is dazzling cold light shining.

The forging strength of Wang Guaizi Dao is both rigid and flexible, the temperature is not bad, the meat is not connected with the Dao, the iron is not rolled, and it is durable. The partial description of something is good, and there is a two-part allegorical saying: "That's Wang Guaizi's knife-nothing to say!"

Wang Guaizi is honest, plus he is disabled. In his early 30 s, he was still the flagpole in front of the temple-bachelor.

That year, a woman named Wu Yilian, dressed in rags, took her dumb son Po and wandered and begged in front of the blacksmith's shop. Wang Guaizi was kind and compassionate and bought her food. Through matchmaking, the two became husband and wife. Marry an official as a wife and a pig killer. Wu Yilian pulls up the bellows in the blacksmith's shop. Although her face was dark and gray, the sadness in her brow gradually dissipated, her dim eyes brightened, and the three of us were happy.

When Po grew up, he stood in the stove with his stepfather while the iron was hot. Wang Guaizi clamped the red-hot iron with iron tongs, put it on the anvil and knocked it with a small hammer. He waved a sledgehammer. As the saying goes: "There are three difficulties in the world, and it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot. grinding bean curd will shake the boat." Po began to lose weight, and he was panting like a cow after several hammers. In the "tinkling" hammering sound, he was forged into a burly and muscular man, who could swing hundreds of hammers in one breath without blushing or panting.

The knife is made of wrought iron with a layer of steel in the middle. Steel and iron are mixed by fire. Iron should be made of high-temperature resistant cotton and steel should be hardened, but broken iron and rotten steel can't make a good knife. In the old days, the materials used in blacksmiths were scrap steel purchased from the people, melted in clay furnaces and cast into blanks.

Wang Guaizi often carries a steelyard on his back, and asks her grandmother to pull the cart around the streets to buy scrap steel, or buy it by the catty, or change it into a new knife. That day, someone in the county police chief's house took a scabbard and asked for a kitchen knife. Wang Guaizi took it and saw that this sword has been shining with scary cold light for some years, and the blade surface is engraved with a beautiful picture of Qinglong coming out of the water. He flicked the blade with his fingers and made a long buzz. Wang Guaizi is an honest man, timid and afraid to take advantage of others. He said with a smile, "This is a good knife. It's too bad for you to give it to me as scrap steel. " The other party shouted impatiently, "Cut the crap!" Picked up a new kitchen knife, turned into the yard and slammed the door.

Wang Guaizi is puzzled. What happened?

It turns out that the Yang family is a big family 20 miles east, and bought this saber from a second-hand goods stall. It is said that the owner of the sabre is a bandit who killed countless people with this knife. Last winter, the Yang family had an argument with their neighbors. The other party is also a rich and powerful family, and the two sides will not give way to each other. In a quarrel, the gentleman took out this sabre to scare the other side. When besieged by several men, he suddenly cut at each other and actually cut off each other's arms! The people present afterwards said that he didn't spend much effort, at most he cut a bloody hole and didn't want to make a murder case.

The case has been closed and this saber was confiscated as a murder weapon. Director Zhao of the police station saw it and couldn't put it down, so he stole it for himself. The Zhao family has never been at peace since this sabre entered the door. First, the eldest daughter hanged herself with her husband in a rage, and then there was a fire at home for no reason. Later, Director Zhao was kicked by a donkey.

The Zhao family invited Mr. Feng Shui from Yin and Yang family. The old man stood at the four corners of the yard, squinted at it, slightly dazed and said, "There is a smell of blood in the house!" " He looked everywhere and finally saw the saber in his study. He was surprised and said, "This saber has a fierce smell. You can't stay at home!" "

It suddenly dawned on the Zhao family that it was no wonder that the rustling of swords was heard at night after several accidents. Mrs. Zhao's face changed greatly and she ordered the sabre to be thrown out. She just heard the cry of Wang Guaizi, so she let people change a kitchen knife.

Wang Guaizi only has good steel and iron in his eyes. He melted his saber and put two kitchen knives on the knife rest. The price is naturally much higher than that of ordinary kitchen knives. Unfortunately, no one knows the goods. Someone stopped to look, picked it up, shook his head and sighed, saying that the knife was a good one, but it was too heavy to buy back.

On this day, a buyer finally came, a chef of a big hotel, who has been suffering from not being able to buy a good knife. He passed the blacksmith's shop and saw two kitchen knives on the knife rest. If they found the treasure, they even bought it without paying. I don't want a few days later, the chef came to return the goods and said with a bitter face, "This is a knife for cutting human flesh!" " "It turned out that I cut something several times, and the blade went straight to my finger and was cut into blood. When he learned that it was made of a murder weapon, he was frightened when he saw two knives.

The notoriety of the two knives spread, so Wang Guaizi had to reduce the price, which was cheaper than ordinary kitchen knives, and no one was interested in selling them. Hu Qi, who owns a beef shop, doesn't believe in evil spirits. He cut a cow bone for half a month and broke a knife. His wife said he was stupid, and he stared at the knife because it was made of broken iron. He heard that Wang Guaizi had two good knives, so he came here to buy them. A few days later, Hu Qi's wife came with two knives, blushing and saying that they didn't work well. In fact, all seven hands of Hu were cut and wrapped in cloth. Hu Qi's wife pulled out her knife and set off a string of firecrackers at the door.

Rumors are like wings. Some people say that there are lotus flowers on the leaves of two dishes in the midday sun. Some people say that it rains on cloudy days, and small blood beads are still oozing from the knife surface. ...

No one dares to ask for two kitchen knives for free, so they put them on the knife rest alone.

My grandfather said that in 27 years of the Republic of China, qi zhou fell, and the sun flag hung above the city.

There is a teacher Zhai in the county primary school, a rich boy, who has read books, is knowledgeable, can recite poems and paint, and is a handsome scholar. His wife is a suitable good girl and plays the pipa very well. She was taken to the military camp by the Japanese, and three days later, the body was thrown out. A beautiful woman as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade was brutally harmed.

Teacher Zhai was livid. Without saying a word, he took off his gown and pinned his pistol to his waist. He led dozens of people to fight guerrilla warfare in Funiu Mountain, which later expanded to more than 200 people. He does not interfere with * * * and refuses to contact * * *. He is unique, claiming to be the commander.

After the outbreak of the Wuhan Battle, a large number of Japanese troops in the city were transferred to the south, and their troops were empty. Commander Zhai decided to attack the city. There are more than 400 devils guarding the city. Seeing the disparity in strength, he recruited soldiers, and even those who played monkey tricks, told fortune and sold baked wheat cakes signed up.

Commander Zhai suffered from a shortage of firearms and sent people to search for local guns and cannons. He also secretly went down the mountain to see Wang Guaizi and asked him to make cold weapons. Wang Guaizi readily agreed. Commander Zhai was polite, and said slowly and quietly, "Boss Wang, you are trying to make money while the iron is hot, but you have to pay for this batch of work. If the Japanese know about it, you will lose your head." Think clearly, I won't force you! "

At the head of the national disaster, Wang Guaizi, who was usually in a bad mood, became a bloody man with wide eyes. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Commander Zhai, businessmen are not interested in money. Orientals have crossed the ocean to bully our doorstep, let alone contribute money. I can throw caution to the wind! " Although Po is deaf and dumb, he is very clever. Seeing commander Zhai's purpose, he patted his chest and drew a picture, which means he is going to kill the devil, too.

Wu Yilian, who has a deep sense of righteousness, took out the savings from building a house and marrying Po and bought a lot of weapons raw materials.

The blacksmith's shop opened the furnace day and night, Wu Yilian blew the bellows, and Wang Guaizi and Grandma hammered. When Wang Guaizi saw that a large number of spears, daggers and broadswords in the building could not hide people's eyes and ears, he had a premonition that something would happen. Every night, he asked Po to transport the weapons to the nearby forest and hide them. He also told Po, "I'm going to have an accident. You can take commander Zhai to get it ... "

The wind is getting tighter. Po put two kitchen knives on the bed. Later, it was rumored that two kitchen knives rustled at night before Wang Guaizi was taken away, but it was a pity that Po could not hear them. The Japanese tortured the king to tell him where the weapons were hidden. Wang Guaizi's eyes are rough and fierce, scolding Japan!

A few days later, commander Zhai led more than 65,438+0,000 villagers, carrying two Ming Dynasty earth cannons, and attacked. Po, with his eyes blazing and waving two kitchen knives, rushed into the city with the crowd. There was a flash of cold light, and a helmet-wearing head fell to the ground, like chopping melons and vegetables to slay Japanese soldiers!

The siege failed, and the Japanese army was well trained and well armed. They soon woke up from the panic and found themselves a mob without any military knowledge. Several crooked machine guns roared by, and villagers with broadswords and spears fell one after another. Commander Zhai saw that the tide was gone, and one leg was pierced by a bullet. He didn't want to be taken alive, so he turned his gun to his forehead and committed suicide.

Po and some people fought and retreated, jumping off the wall and escaping, and none of them were spared. Po was surrounded by Japanese troops in a brick kiln outside the city and was shot several times. He still glared, holding two kitchen knives and standing against the kiln wall.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the ground war in qi zhou with fierce folk customs was particularly tragic, and the anti-Japanese people suffered heavy casualties. After the founding of New China, the civil affairs department registered the deceased, and the bones of Wang Guaizi and Grandma were moved to the newly-built Martyrs Cemetery.

On the 40th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the local government established the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall to collect cultural relics from War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At that time, my grandfather led people to collect Po's body, and the two kitchen knives were placed in my house. When they were handed over to the memorial hall, they were still shining without any blades.

According to relevant experts' research, judging from the steel of two kitchen knives, the owner of that sabre doesn't look like a bandit. This inference was confirmed by the descendants of the Yang family in the east of the city. They said that the owner of this sabre was Cao Futian, the leader of the Boxer Rebellion in Tianjin during the Gengzi period. An old blacksmith worshipped heroes, hammered out swords and presented them. After the Boxer Rebellion failed, Cao Futian was killed by the government in Jinghai County. Yang Jiazu was Cao Futian's personal soldier. He survived and took his saber back to qi zhou.

The mystery of the murder weapon was finally solved, but it added a mysterious and legendary color to the circulation.
