Chapter 7 Knife
Luo Xingyu followed Gao Yuan into the bedroom. Gao Yuan took out two knives, one long and one short, from his bag, and then he put both knives directly in front of Luo Xingyu.
"Take this knife."
Luo Xingyu was a little surprised, and she took the longer knife.
"Pull it out."
Luo Xingyu opened the buckle on the leather sheath and pulled out the knife.
The blade is very bright and the wooden handle has beautiful patterns.
Gao Yuan said with a straight face: "The handle of the knife is made of stabilized birch wood. The knife is 33 centimeters long, 3 centimeters wide at its widest point, and five millimeters thick. It is made of S30V powder steel from the American Crucible Company, BOS heat treated, Rockwell hardness 61, and maintained
The sex and toughness are very good and can last you a lifetime."
Luo Xingyu couldn't help but said: "She's so beautiful, and you sounded so professional!"
Gao Yuan took a breath and said: "From now on, carry this knife with you. No matter what you do, don't let this knife leave the distance that you can reach. Get familiar with it, use it, and treat it as your arm."
By extension, if you encounter a bad guy, don’t hesitate to stab him with a knife; if you encounter a wild beast, stab it with a knife.”
Luo Xingyu was stunned for a moment, then she nodded: "I know, I will definitely do it."
Gao Yuan continued: "This knife is very sharp, but it's also too sharp, so don't use it to cut particularly hard things, as it will damage the blade. The knife is the most important tool for your survival in the wild, more important than anything else.
Be kind to it as you would be kind to yourself.”
Luo Xingyu also became serious, and she nodded: "I understand, I will definitely cherish this knife."
"The hardness of birch wood is not high, so the handle is relatively fragile. Be careful when using it. Also, the handle of this knife is made according to the shape of my hand. The handle may be too thick for you. If
If you think the knife handle is too thick, I can help you trim it to the best fit for you, but the length cannot be adjusted because I don’t have the right tools.”
Luo Xingyu said with a surprised look on his face: "You claimed to be a knife maker when you called on the radio just now. Did you make this knife?"
Gao Yuan spread his hands and said: "Otherwise? Of course I made this knife. This is the first work that I am truly satisfied with. Moreover, this steel plate is very expensive. It is very troublesome to use heat-treated steel plates to make knives. Buy steel plates.
It makes my body hurt when I make it, and it gives me a headache when I make the knife. It makes me feel bad to give it to you, so you must treat this knife well."
"Wow, I discovered that you are so versatile, so amazing! Thank you, Brother Yuan."
After being amazed, Luo Xingyu suddenly said: "Can I see the knife you use?"
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, he really hesitated, but he still pulled out his knife.
However, Gao Yuan did not hand the knife to Luo Xingyu.
Gao Yuan's personal knife doesn't look as beautiful as Luo Xingyu's.
There is no rust but there are oxidized black spots, there are many signs of use, the leather sheath also has many scratches, and the black handle looks ordinary.
"This knife is forged from high-carbon steel. I used rail steel, or old rails from decades ago. I designed it myself, forged it myself, or quenched it myself. Well, the length is 32 centimeters, and the Rockwell hardness is about
It's 58. The advantage of carbon steel is that it cuts quickly and is easy to sharpen. This knife is very sharp, but its retention is not as good as yours. That is powdered steel with modern technology. Mine is a traditional craft at best."
Luo Xingyu said curiously: "You have many knives, why do you use this one?"
Gao Yuan laughed, then he put the knife back into the scabbard and said: "This knife... I can use it easily."
After putting away his knife, Gao Yuan took the knife and handed it to Luo Xingyu, saying: "I bought this knife from Swedish mora, stainless steel, Scandinavian edge, very sharp.
It’s best used to deal with wood, but of course you can use it to eat meat or peel fruits.”
The short knife looks very ordinary, with a plastic handle and plastic shell, and looks like a fruit knife.
Luo Xingyu pulled out the short knife, looked at it, and said, "It's not as good-looking as what you did."
"It doesn't look good, but it's easy to use. This is a utility knife. You will use it every day in your daily life, so take this knife with you. You will find that this knife is the one you use most frequently."
Gao Yuan clapped his hands and said: "I'm really reluctant to give my knife away. Okay, now I'll give you something else."
Gao Yuan took out a fanny pack from his backpack. After taking the fanny bag in his hand, he said: "This is a psk fanny bag. It contains fire, allergy medicine, diarrhea medicine, cold medicine and antipyretic medicine, and a small box of cleansing medicine."
The water tablet contains three pieces of chocolate, a whistle, and a band-aid. These are the psk I use in my daily life. I can take it on the subway and bus without any problems, but there are not many things in it. However, if you have already had this bag, you can use it earlier.
Life won’t be so hard.”
Gao Yuan, with a look of emotion on his face, gave the bag to Luo Xingyu, but Luo Xingyu said in surprise: "So you carry this bag with you every day?"
"Yes, that's why I'm considered a lunatic."
Gao Yuan, who was very self-deprecating, laughed.
"You look quite handsome when you smile...Thank you."
There were already tears in Luo Xingyu's eyes. She said softly: "Thank you. Apart from my parents, you are the best person in the world to me."
Gao Yuan waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me in a hurry, because you still have a lot of things to thank me for. Just leave it to the last one to say thank you."
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan said with a determined look: "Follow me, oh, hang up the knife now. The big knife can be hung on the belt, and the small knife can be hung on the waist bag."
After watching Luo Xingyu finish the knife, Gao Yuan took her out of the house, then pointed to an abandoned pigsty and said: "There are 90-style compressed biscuits hidden in there, and there are sixty-four boxes of four small pieces in each box.
, a person has enough calories to eat two small pieces every day, and there are twenty 400g canned beef in it. The canned beef produced in Russia is not delicious but it is real."
Luo Xingyu looked shocked again. Gao Yuan pointed to the other side and continued: "On the cliff behind the broken house, there is a small hole behind a bluestone slab. There are fifty cans in it, including lunch meat cans and domestic military cans.
have."
After dragging Luo Xingyu for a few more steps, he arrived under a shed behind the house where he lived. Gao Yuan leaned over and lifted up a few logs, revealing a bicycle inside.
"The bicycle has a large escape bag strapped to it. It contains enough food and water for a week, a tent, a set of clothes, an axe, a long knife, two short knives, saws, a lot of fire, and a lot of medicine.
, two bottles of wine, two packs of cigarettes, two cans of small packaged tea, and dozens of boxes of various medicines in total. I bought these not long before the disaster. They have a long shelf life, and many of the things in them can be used as currency.
.”
Pointing to a backpack hanging in front of the bicycle, Gao Yuan said: "What is fixed in front is a Bob backpack, a spare. It contains three days of food and water, a knife, and an ax. If you encounter danger and need to escape,
Even if you don’t have time to bring anything with you, and you can’t push the bike on and leave, then come here and run away with just this backpack.”
Under the gaze of the stunned Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan used wood and branches to hide the bicycle again. He patted the dust on his hands and said: "In addition, the tools we have and are using include a spear, a long
An axe, a short-handled axe, the one hanging on my waist, a folding saw, a sapper shovel, and some rope, well, by the way, we also have some good stuff."
"What!"
"Twenty toothbrush covers, small soaps, shampoos, etc., and two rolls of toilet paper!"
Luo Xingyu's eyes widened, and Gao Yuan said a little embarrassedly: "Well, toilet paper is very precious. I've given it to you. Don't use it normally. I'll use it when you're on your period."
Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan blankly, and then her tears fell again.
Luo Xingyu just cried today.
"Why are you crying again?"
Luo Xingyu burst into tears and sobbed: "You are so kind, this is not a good person card, I am just very excited, and I feel so happy now, you must be sent by God to rescue me,
"
While crying, Luo Xingyu suddenly hugged Gao Yuan, then she rested her head on Gao Yuan's chest and began to cry loudly.
"Don't cry, don't cry. If you feel happy, shouldn't you laugh..."
"I'm really starving to death. I don't know how long it's been. I've only had cabbage and radishes to eat. I'm so cold. I really feel like I'm freezing to death. I'm also so scared. I can't sleep. I'm doing everything.
No, I'm desperate, I really think I'm going to die soon, thank you, thank you for saving me..."
Luo Xingyu's ventive crying made Gao Yuan a little at a loss. He didn't know where to put his hands.
After hesitating for a while, Gao Yuan put his hand on Luo Xingyu's back, patted him gently and said, "Stop crying, um, stop crying, it will be fine in the future."
"I'm so grateful to you...thank you, brother."
Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, I am telling you this because I am afraid that I may die that day. If I die but you are not dead, then these things will continue to be useful, you should know
,Under the current situation, we may really... encounter an accident at any time."
Luo Xingyu paused for a moment, but then she cried even harder.
Gao Yuan continued softly: "We are all survivors of this apocalypse. We are companions. I can only rely on you, so of course I have to give you all these things. You should understand that if you want to survive, two people are better than one."
People have much greater advantages, so you don’t have to be too moved, I do what I should.”
Luo Xingyu raised her head, she embarrassedly wiped the wet patch on Gao Yuan's chest, and said: "You are such a fool, and ah, even if it is easier for two people to survive, it will never happen.
There are people who are willing to share everything with others like you."
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "It depends on the situation. For example, if I meet two people, then I will never expose myself, because the two people are probably already a small group. Two people can always get more than three people sharing
, if I meet a man, I will not bring him here easily, let alone give him everything, because people's hearts are unpredictable."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yuan patted Luo Xingyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, I am very afraid of death, so I won't trust others easily. I am also saying this to tell you that you must be careful when meeting strangers in the future.
