Chapter 43: Locust Stone
Chapter 43 Locust Stone (Please read it later~)
"Brother, you're back~"
Not long after Chen Ping'an climbed over the courtyard wall, Chen Erya walked out of the house.
It was obvious that the little girl had been observing the situation in the yard.
"Nannan, you are not asleep yet." Chen Pingan bent down to take off his shoes: "Help me get a pair of shoes."
"Hey, brother, you..."
Chen Erya covered her mouth, and only then did she see the bloodstains on Chen Ping'an's shoes.
"Are you okay?"
The little girl didn't go to get her shoes. Instead, she ran up and took a good look at Chen Pingan.
"It's okay!" Chen Pingan patted his chest and said, "Brother is very strong! You know how strong brother is."
"What does this bloodstain belong to?" The little girl was still a little worried.
"There was a little incident, but it's okay, my brother has solved it." Chen Pingan patted Chen Erya's little head and said with a smile: "Go get the shoes quickly."
"Yeah." Chen Erya nodded and quickly took out a pair of shoes from the room.
Chen Pingan took the shoes and put them on, then he walked into the kitchen carrying the blood-stained shoes.
He threw the shoes under the stove and used the flint to skillfully light a fire. The flame under the stove gradually turned into a flame.
"Go to bed quickly, it's very late." Chen Pingan turned and said to Chen Erya.
From just now till now, the little girl has been looking at him. She is very curious about what happened to her brother, but her brother doesn't say anything, and she doesn't ask.
"Waiting for brother."
"You girl." Chen Pingan showed a doting smile on his face.
Without shying away from Chen Erya, he took out the black cloth bag and dagger from his arms. Facing Chen Erya's puzzled gaze, Chen Pingan smiled and explained: "This is my brother's trophy! On the way back, a fool spotted him and I sent him away."
A complex look flashed across Chen Erya's eyes and she nodded slightly.
Chen Pingan did not mention the details of the process, and the little girl did not ask. This was a tacit understanding between the brother and sister.
Chen Pingan opened the black cloth bag, revealing some loose silver and small coins. He took them out and counted them, finding a total of one and a half taels plus fifty-two small coins.
There was a slight joy in Chen Ping'an's eyes.
It was nearly two months' salary. With this amount of money, he wouldn't have to worry about meat for the next few days.
Next, he turned his attention to the dagger.
The dagger was about seven or eight inches long and looked like a sword. Chen Pingan pulled the dagger out of the sheath, revealing a hint of coldness. The dagger was double-edged and sharpened. Although it was a bit worn out and had experienced the brilliance of the years, it still looked sharp.
"What an unexpected surprise!" Chen Pingan couldn't put the dagger down and became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.
Although the dagger was ordinary and a bit worn out, it was still sharp and easy to use. With such a thing, I felt more confident when I went out.
At this time, the shoes under the stove were almost burned, and the flame gradually weakened until it went out.
After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Pingan walked to the yard, fetched a basin of water, took off his clothes and wiped his body.
"Brother, let me help you." Chen Erya volunteered to come over.
Chen Ping'an did not discourage the little girl's enthusiasm and responded with a smile.
With the help of Chen Erya, Chen Pingan quickly wiped his body, and the two went into the room together and got into bed to sleep.
Obviously, the little girl was very sleepy. With Chen Pingan by her side, she felt at ease. After a few words, the little girl fell into a deep sleep.
"This girl!" Chen Pingan smiled.
It was late at night, but he was not sleepy yet. Although it was not the first time he had killed someone, he still felt uneasy.
The miserable plight of the man in the bamboo hat would occasionally appear in his mind.
The world is like this. If your skills are not as good as others, don’t complain or blame others!
Chen Pingan let out a long sigh.
If given a choice, who wouldn't want to live peacefully and safely in this world? ?
He has no choice!
If you want to live well and with dignity, you must make some choices. This is the rule of this world! No one can break it!
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Chen Ping'an just bought a book on locust throwing, so he thought about reading it again to understand it.
It's good to have a golden finger. This method has been included in it, so if Chen Pingan wants to read it, he only needs to move his eyes slightly, and the content of the whole method will be revealed in front of him. Even if he closes his eyes, it can be presented in his mind.
"It does save a lot of lamp oil." Chen Pingan laughed at himself.
The chapter begins with an introduction to the locust stone.
The locust stone is the most convenient and economical hidden weapon. It is easily found anywhere. You don't need to spend money to buy it, nor do you need to spend time to figure it out. It is inexhaustible and can be used at will.
In the mountains and fields, we searched for hard stones, with bluestone being the best, granite the second, and yellow stone the worst. The stones we selected should be thin and long, sharp at the top and round at the bottom. As for the shape of the four sides, it is somewhat like a locust, so it is called flying locust stone.
When traveling, a bag is worn around the waist. The way the bag is worn depends on the hand that the person is used to using. For those who are used to using the right hand to use stones, the bag should be hung below the left waist.
Chen Pingan flipped through it carefully, and was quite impressed.
"Although the locust throwing method is common, there is a lot of knowledge in it. After learning this skill, there are three ways to use it. One is to use it as a hidden weapon to attack the enemy when they are not prepared. The second is to explore the way, using stones to probe down or forward to see if there is any danger. The third is to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, using the long-range throwing method to cause a noise in the distance, so that people nearby can go to investigate.
The so-called locust stone is quite mysterious! "
The convenience of the locust stone is as mentioned above. As for the method of practicing it, it is not difficult. It is roughly similar to the throwing dart, but the only difference is that it uses the throwing force instead of the pushing force.
The establishment of its target.
When throwing stones, most people use the Yin hand. First, raise your hand upward, then turn your wrist downward and use your strength to throw it forward to get the target. This is the correct way to hit the target. If you are hitting the target from the side and use your right hand to throw the stone, you should stand sideways, with your left shoulder facing the target, hold the stone in front of your right hand, and raise it to the right, then turn your wrist and use your strength to throw it to the left to get the target. These two methods are the correct way to hit the locust stone, and both use the Yin hand.
When people who use the locust stone strike their enemies, they first attack the head and face, because there is no cover, and the eyes and nose are extremely fragile and most easily injured. On the other hand, it is best to attack the wrist and ankle joints, because these two joints are the least painful. If you hit the wrist bone, the person's weapon will fall, and if you hit the ankle bone, the person will have difficulty walking for a while.
With continuous inspection, Chen Pingan gradually mastered the method of practicing the Locust Stone. Although he had not yet officially started practicing, with this foundation, he only needed to try a few times tomorrow to practice smoothly.
"Okay, let's start practicing the Locust Stone tomorrow!"
Chen Pingan understood the locust stone training method clearly, and felt at ease, and gradually fell asleep.
