in the edge

Chapter 58

Not long after Du Chengfeng rode away, Carpenter Li was still trembling against the ax in the warehouse.

It wasn't just because of fear, but because he was shivering in a physical sense. He always felt that the ax was like ice cubes frozen in winter. Just looking at it made people feel cold all over.

Don't dare to touch it, really don't dare to touch it, no matter what, he wouldn't touch this ax even once.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Carpenter Li simply closed the door of the warehouse. Anyway, he couldn't do any carpentry work under the current situation. It would be better to close the ax inside, at least it would make him feel more at ease.

But just when Carpenter Li was about to return to the main room to make some food for his wife and children, his courtyard door was pushed open.

"Have you seen my machete?"

It was Yang Sanlang who opened the door and came in, and he was going door to door asking him where the knife was.

"I clearly remember bringing it back..."

"I didn't see it."

Carpenter Li scratched his head for a while.

He must have seen it. After all, Du Chengfeng still brought the scimitar with him when he came here, but he definitely wouldn't say it. Since Brother Du took the knife away, it must be of great use.

"Would you like to search again?"

"Don't look for it anymore, maybe this is also one of the tests my ancestors put on me."

Yang Sanlang thought about it, but he didn't intend to continue looking for it.

There is really no need to look for it anymore. He has already asked the whole village. Carpenter Li at the entrance of the village is the last one he asked. If he can't find it again, then there is really no need to look for it.

"Perhaps this is what my ancestors wanted to tell me. The knife is actually not that important. The most important thing is the person who uses the knife."

Saying this, Yang Sanlang, who had been running around, simply sat down and asked Carpenter Li for a bowl of water.

They were all from the countryside, and Carpenter Li didn't refuse. What's more, Yang Sanlang was someone he had watched grow up, and he could be regarded as a talented person in the past few years - but only in the past few years.Since his brother Du Chengfeng came, this Yang Sanlang started his road of bewilderment, and he hasn't stopped until now.

Thinking of this, Carpenter Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.

After all, his brother Du is really too strong.

Two male cats would fight together, not to mention two tigers, most of the young people are full of vigor, so they must be ranked - but compared with his Du brothers, this Yang who was originally like a cub Saburo can only be considered a male cat.

Youdao always irritates people to death, and Yang Sanlang is obviously the type to be irritated to death.

That night, Yang Sanlang went to challenge Du Chengfeng, and everyone in the village knew about it later.Although his brother Du spared Yang Sanlang's life, his almost indifferent attitude was almost equal to breaking Yang Sanlang's back.

Carpenter Li knew about this, but after all, the two parties to the duel had enmity, not to mention that what Yang Sanlang did was indeed unethical, and he didn't want to say anything to an outsider.

"Hey……"

Thinking of this, Carpenter Li simply found a sugar jar and added some sweetness to Yang Sanlang's water bowl.

He could only express his sympathy in this way.

"Thanks, Uncle Li."

After a moment of silence, Yang Sanlang took the water bowl.

It was at this moment that the sound of galloping war horses could be heard from afar.

"Yes...ah, he is back."

Carpenter Li turned his head to look in the direction of the door, but consciously did not mention Du Chengfeng's name.

"He went out in the morning, and he should be back by time."

"...Uncle Li, you don't have to be like this."

Yang Sanlang forced a smile.

"I... have already conceded. I can live till now. To put it bluntly, this life is considered to be credited to me. I also admit that the words of persuasion must be a bit fake, but I also know that even if I refuse to accept, it is useless. People won’t take it seriously.”

"it's the same."

Carpenter Li poured another bowl of sugar water over.

"Men, it's all like this. Everyone looks at another man and learns to grow up all the way. Your father left early, and old man Yang is that gentle. How to teach you how to be a man..."

"Forget it, Uncle Li, let's not talk about this."

Shaking his head, Yang Sanlang was ready to drink another bowl.

But just when Yang Sanlang was about to pick up the water bowl from the table, he found that the sugar water in the bowl was shaking slightly.

"Ok?"

Yang Sanlang raised his head subconsciously, listening to the sound of hooves getting closer.

That was not the sound that a single war horse could make, it was clearly dozens of war horses galloping together!
The sound of hooves is like thunder!
"It's the cavalry!"

Yang Sanlang stood up abruptly.

"Quick! Uncle Li! Find something to push against the door! They're going to..."

bang——

Before Yang Sanlang finished speaking, the weak wooden door was knocked open.

The Hu Qingqi in fur coats dismounted one after another, their eyes were scarlet like ghosts crawling out of hell.

Yang Sanlang, who was unarmed, was about to rush up, but was held back by Carpenter Li.

"This way!"

Gritting his teeth, Carpenter Li dragged Yang Sanlang to the side of the warehouse.

The barbarians behind him had already rushed over, and Carpenter Li couldn't care less. He simply opened the door of the warehouse and pushed Yang Sanlang in.

"Get the ax! Quick!"

"Varied……"

Yang Sanlang had also seen that big axe, he recognized this axe, and thought that the armored general who broke through Yangjiabao back then was holding this big axe in his hand.

Can he really afford the axe?

Can he really kill enemies with this axe?

"me!!!"

Only then did he stretch out his hand to the axe, but Yang Sanlang cried out in pain like being electrocuted.

And above his arms, there was already a layer of frost.

Apparently, the ax rejected him and didn't even want him to touch it.

"What's wrong!"

Li Carpenter, who was limping on one leg, was still running desperately, and had even been stabbed twice in the back, but when he raised his head, what caught his eyes was deeper despair.

Yang Sanlang failed to pick up the axe.

"what……"

When his heart was ashamed, two scimitars struck Li Carpenter's shoulders again.

The scimitar pierced into the flesh, and blood flowed profusely. Carpenter Li was cut down and fell to the ground, and he seemed unable to get up.

But at this moment, he saw those barbarians with scarlet eyes dragging his wife and children out of the house.

The children were still crying, and his wife was completely terrified—yes, facing these barbarians with scarlet eyes and those swordsmen full of evil spirits, who would not be afraid? Woolen cloth?And who would not be afraid?

Carpenter Li is also afraid, he is more afraid than anyone else, he is timid, he faints, he is afraid of death, he dare not even kill a chicken.As for those ferocious weapons, it was even more a nightmare in his heart. Every time he dreamed back at midnight, he would think of that bloody day and the corpses everywhere.

And that timid self.

As long as he is a good person, he can survive, he has always thought so, as long as he is kind to others, he can live his life, he has always thought so.He never wanted much, he just wanted to live like a normal person and live with his family.

However, this is not enough.

Far from enough.

"what……"

Seeing those barbarians' scimitars about to hit his wife and children, Li Carpenter finally gave up thinking completely.

"I give you my life."

Saying this, Carpenter Li held a cold ax handle.

Even though his arms were covered with frost, Carpenter Li held on to the handle of the ax tightly and did not waver.

"I'll give you my life. It doesn't matter what you want, as long as it keeps my wife and children alive!"

hum-

The north wind howls and blood flowers float.

The head that looked so fierce just now has rolled to the ground.

Carpenter Li's eyes were completely red.
