Master is too ambitious

Chapter 146 Little Tales from a Chinese Studio 2

The morning sun shone through the window, and Ji Qian and Su Feng got up to make their beds.

Yesterday, the two of them disguised themselves as ordinary passers-by and came to this village to stay the night. The doors of every house were closed. After knocking on the doors for a long time, only Old Lady Chen, who lived alone at the end of the village, took the two of them in.

After cleaning the house, Ji Qian used a little cleaning technique to remove the old dust in the house, while Su Feng went outside and took the initiative to fetch water to fill the water tank in the house.

Old Lady Chen stopped Su Feng from chopping wood and said, "Young man, it's not worth it to stay here for just one night!"

Ji Qian smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, it would be better to ask him to chop some firewood so that you don't have to work too hard."

Old Mrs. Chen said anxiously, "How can we let guests do rough work?"

Ji Qian helped her sit aside and advised: "If you feel embarrassed, mother-in-law, just tell us why you live alone at the end of the village."

"How can this be possible! Let me, an old woman, take such an advantage!" said Old Mrs. Chen.

Ji Qian said: "Mother-in-law, don't blame yourself. We just came here and we still need your help."

Old Mrs. Chen grabbed Ji Qian's hand, knowing that the two men were determined to fetch water and chop firewood for her as a reward. Ever since the death of her husband, son and daughter-in-law, everyone in the village thought that her family was unlucky, and no one had treated her like this for a long time. She was suddenly filled with mixed feelings.

Thinking of her husband who died tragically, her son who died avenging his father, and her daughter-in-law who hanged herself, Mrs. Chen burst into tears and said, "My son and daughter-in-law died unjustly."

Three years ago, the Chen family was still a well-to-do family in Shijian Village. Old Mrs. Chen's husband, Chen Shi, had served in the army in his early years and had received rewards. Her son, Chen Jian, was also promising and had married a very virtuous daughter-in-law. The family lived in harmony and were just waiting for the birth of their grandson.

That night, suddenly there was a shining object behind the house. From a distance it looked like a needle. The flickering light made the Chen family members jump in fear.

Old man Chen and his son Chen Jian plucked up their courage, lit the oil lamp, and walked to the place where the light came from. They saw that the light seemed to come from underground. Chen Jian took a hoe and started digging. After a long time, he found nothing. At this time, the sky was bright. Chen Jian dug down with a hoe and heard a "ding" sound, and dug out a stone box.

Old man Chen wiped the jade box clean and opened it. It turned out to be a small sword about one foot long.

The sword is jade-colored all over and feels cold to the touch. If you put hair on the blade, it can be cut off with a blow. It is truly a peerless sword.

The news that the Chen family had obtained a magical weapon spread like wildfire.

The most interesting thing is that anyone who came to the Chen family to ask for or steal treasures was injured by this sword, and the sword became more and more famous.

Unexpectedly, one day, a group of people riding on tall horses came and broke into the Chen family, wanting to buy the sword. Old man Chen said that if the sword was willing to go with them, he would not say a word.

The leading man sneered and said, "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!", and recited a strange spell. The sword instantly pierced through the wall and killed Old Man Chen on the spot with one sword. Old Lady Chen screamed in shock. The man snorted coldly and led his men away.

Chen Jian, who rushed over after hearing the noise, tried to stop the group of people, but was killed on the spot with a sword. That night, his daughter-in-law also hanged herself to death.

In just one day, the family was destroyed and Mrs. Chen almost went crazy.

Only the hatred in her heart supported her, thinking that one day she would avenge her blood feud.

"When will God punish these thieves?" Old Mrs. Chen cried bitterly.

Ji Qian sighed slightly, Su Feng held Ji Qian's hand, and they looked at each other. They saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Killing people for treasures was really hateful.

Ji Qian comforted her, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Heaven will not let these thieves off."

Su Feng asked: "Grandma, do you still remember what the thief looked like?"

Old Lady Chen gnashed her teeth and said, "I remember! How could I not remember!" She added, "He was about six feet tall, with triangular eyes and a large black mole on his face!"

Ji Qian raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence! Wasn’t this the person who spoke so arrogantly yesterday?

Su Feng also remembered the man who humiliated Ji Qian yesterday. He was exactly the same as the one described by Old Lady Chen, except that the black spot was not a mole, but looked more like a mark.

Ji Qian said: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, this man will definitely be executed."

There is just one question. This so-called sword does not seem to be an ordinary thing in the world. Instead, it looks like a sword from the world of immortals. It seems that I need to take care of it.
