Quick Transmigration: Ten Thousand Worlds Charter Woman

Chapter 274 The old past

"No money." Grandma looked at He Xiaoman: "The man said that no one should be forced to accept this knife, but one day it will be passed to a Zhang family who is not the Zhang family, and they will come and take it away."

"The words left by this person are only allowed to be spoken when the previous generation passes the knife to the next generation, so no one who has nothing to do with it will know."

"Take the butcher's knife, so you don't have to float around." Grandma seemed to be chanting some kind of mantra: "This is what people on credit said when they gave us knives on credit. Even if everyone else is hungry, there will never be any in your family." starving people."

In that kind of time when it is almost necessary to change children and eat only to survive, what kind of temptation is it to live and work here in peace and contentment without having to wander around after receiving the butcher's knife?
Therefore, Zhang's family, a scholarly family, became a Zhang butcher, killing pigs for a living from generation to generation.

He Xiaoman really didn't expect that the pig butcher's knife from the ordinary pig butcher's family really has a long history, so it's no wonder why the person who tricked him to hang himself when he took over the old house was screaming He said that this knife is hers, and it can be regarded as a task item by his universe, how can it be ordinary?

Just looking at grandma's expression, she doesn't seem to know that she has lived an exciting life like a roller coaster after receiving the knife, and she seems to think that receiving the knife is a good thing?

"Xiao Man, tell grandma now, do you want to accept the knife or not?" Grandma asked He Xiaoman suddenly.

The knife is certainly no ordinary knife.

But it is unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse after receiving the knife.

He Xiaoman took over the old house, and his grandmother gave He Xiaoman the Zhang family's butcher knife at the same time. He Xiaoman was almost tricked into hanging himself because he went back to the old house, but the knife was considered to have saved He Xiaoman's life.

Whether it is cause and effect, which is right and which is wrong, He Xiaoman himself has no answer.

If he didn't take this knife, He Xiaoman would probably find a job and work hard to support his mother and grandmother. The purpose is still the same, but the process will definitely not be like it is now.

Thinking about it this way, if he knew that these things would happen in the future and made a new choice, He Xiaoman would still choose to accept the knife.

"The one who passes the sword will never force and tempt the one who receives the sword. This is the rule. The old house must be with the sword. This is also the rule."

"It will be very hard for the person who receives the knife. I originally planned to pass the knife to your fourth uncle, so I have always favored him for so many years, because I thought he would be the one who sharpened the knife for the whole village in the future, but I didn't expect He coaxed your mother to take over the old house while I was sick in the hospital."

He Xiaoman opened his mouth wide, what does it mean to sharpen a knife for the whole village?Will she carry a small shoulder pole in the future and shout "sharpening scissors to choke kitchen knives" all over the village?

"Think about the five big locust trees in the village, and then look up at the big locust tree next door. Did you find anything?"

He Xiaoman thought hard, but was still at a loss.

"Now look at the five trees next door and look carefully."

He Xiaoman even turned on Mingshi, but he didn't see anything tricky.

She murmured: "Grandma, you can just say it directly, I really didn't find anything, except that one tree was a little small."

"Yes, you are right, this is the secret of these ten locust trees, and the small one was planted by someone with a credit knife. These nine trees are evil spirits. Our locust tree castle had three catastrophes that almost wiped out the village. Later, an expert saw it and said that the mountain was a dragon eating people, the nine trees were the stakes to lock the dragon, and the Shuanglong Temple in the mountain was the nail wedged into the dragon's head. The people who live here have been Cursed by the evil dragon, you can't escape even if you move away."

Ah, there is such a thing?

Then why did everyone live in peace until now?
Grandma suddenly smiled, with an indescribable arrogance in that smile: "That's because we knife sharpeners are suppressing this evil spirit."

Although a nearby village suffered from poverty in later years, the catastrophe never happened again. It was the Zhang family who silently guarded the village.

"The old patriarch knew about these things at the beginning. The Zhang family's status was the highest in the village, but as the years passed, people got used to it, and no one took it seriously when they got used to it."

He Xiaoman nodded silently. This is probably a common problem of human beings. They will not always thank you for the same thing, especially now. Said the Zhang family's saying "Growing fame and fame, sensationalism".

"That's why the Zhang family was not allowed to mention this matter, and they would only explain it when the previous generation of knife sharpeners passed the knife to the next generation."

Grandma's eyes were shining brightly at this moment, and there was an air of arrogance in those eyes: "After all, we have done good deeds and made sacrifices. If we don't ask others to know, we must know it ourselves."

"It was the credit knife man who helped to break the evil. He said that the tree could not be cut down, and the dragon would come out of the mountain if it was cut down. The nearby villages were all right, but the world was in chaos. So he was in the Nine Yin Locust tree. Plant another tree on top of the foundation, breaking the big number of ninety-nine return to one."

Haha, I do not get it.

Nine is too many, so add one and get smaller?
"Grandma, what do you mean by knife sharpener? Am I going to sharpen knives for the whole village for free in the future? Why don't I remember grandpa sharpening knives for the villagers!"

Grandma patted He Xiaoman's hand, sighed and said, "That's why grandma suddenly asked you so many questions and told you such a long story. Didn't you ask me before, is July [-]th this year Are you still closing the door and not letting you in?"

"Because your grandfather has always been the one who sharpens the knife. Every July [-]th, he will use his blood to sharpen the butcher's knife. The door is closed for fear of scaring you."

"why?"

"Because that evil dragon will come to drink the knife grinder's blood on the Ghost Festival, so that it will temporarily calm down its anger and resentment. Which one of you will live if you let you in at this time and provoke that evil dragon?"

It turns out that I have been dancing with dragons since my childhood?
No wonder this knife is so powerful. How many lives have been accumulated in the hands of the pig butchers of the ancestors, and such people will grind this pig knife with blood on the day of the Ghost Festival every year.

But...but this is too fantasy, right?

"Grandma, so you and my grandfather are the ones who have seen real dragons?"

Grandma shook her head: "How can we see it with our naked eyes? It's just that when your grandfather sharpened the knife, as long as the blood is cut out for a while, it's gone. Isn't that just letting the dragon drink it? What the credit knife man said is Can't go wrong."

He Xiaoman didn't know how much blood a dragon would have to drink to feel satisfied. Grandma said to keep cutting until the blood wouldn't disappear immediately.

It's no wonder that every time the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month passes, grandpa will be seriously ill. He Xiaoman feels a faint pain in his heart. Grandpa and grandma have kept this secret for so many years and never told anyone.
