The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it
Chapter 38 Weapons of Self-Defense
Although I learned some Kung Fu since childhood, in this world where the strong prey on the weak.
Facing those burly men, fists and feet alone seem insignificant.
After repeated consideration, she realized that it would be best to have some easy-to-carry self-defense weapons.
With this idea in mind, Su Yu stepped into a mysterious weapons shop called "Silent Sword".
The charm of the store name makes people imagine, as if suggesting that every weapon here contains silent but deadly power.
As soon as the inquiry was made, a crisp answer came from the store: "Miss, what do you need? Whether it is a long sword or a short dagger, or rough and delicate, we can meet your needs."
Looking around, Su Yu's eyes were attracted by the weapons displayed on the wall, and he couldn't help but marvel at their exquisite craftsmanship.
"I just want to find something small and easy to carry, suitable for self-defense." She said softly.
Upon hearing this, the young man asked her in detail about her martial arts level.
After learning that Su Yu only knew the basics, he recommended a series of hidden weapons suitable for beginners.
While the waiter was busy selecting, Su Yu was wandering around the store casually and accidentally touched a seemingly ordinary kitchen knife. He couldn't help but think of the old knife that had been with him at home for a long time. Perhaps it was time to retire it and replace it with one that suits him better.
Not long after, the young man came back with various hidden weapons in his hands and explained them patiently.
However, facing these complicated weapons, Su Yu frowned and said bluntly: "I'm afraid I can't operate these. If I accidentally hurt myself, it will be more trouble than gain."
What she longed for was a self-defense tool that was both practical and easy to conceal, and could work wonders at the critical moment.
Hearing this, the waiter's eyes flashed with admiration: "Miss, you really know what's good! A true master can always hide the hidden weapon invisibly, making it impossible for people to detect it."
As he spoke, he made a gesture, as if to demonstrate the instant killing power of the hidden weapon.
Su Yu was amused by these words and urged: "Then hurry up and show me what kind of wonderful things you have."
A moment later, the waiter presented an exquisite hairpin and an inconspicuous pen with a smile on his face.
These two items may seem ordinary, but they actually hold hidden secrets. They are exactly the kind of hidden weapons that Su Yu needs, which can be used for self-defense and can be easily carried.
In the days to come, they will become her most reliable companions in her travels.
Su Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling luster. She gently picked up the hairpin and examined it carefully. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "The style is indeed unique, and the streamlined design hides a bit of ancient beauty."
The waiter's face was filled with pride when he heard this, and he explained excitedly: "That's right, this hairpin looks ordinary at first glance, but it actually hides a secret. Look, gently rotate the plum blossom-shaped mechanism, and the end of the hairpin will quietly extend fine and sharp barbs. If the enemy is not careful, his skin will be torn apart, and he will have no energy to attack for a while."
“It’s really a clever design.”
Su Yu smiled and nodded, obviously quite satisfied with this.
Then, the clerk took out a delicate little knife and continued to sell it, saying, "This dagger looks small and exquisite, easy to hide and carry, but it is sharp enough to cut gold and jade. No matter how strong the opponent is, once it gets close to him, he will have no choice but to surrender!"
"Deal, I'll take all these things. Oh, and the sickle as well, give it to me as well!"
Su Yu gave the order straightforwardly.
"Got it!"
The waiter was overjoyed, his fingers nimbly moving on the abacus, and after a moment, he loudly announced the total price: "Sir, the total is one hundred and eighty taels of silver."
Su Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then he confirmed again: "How much...how many taels?"
"One hundred, plus eighty, and two coppers in change."
The young man repeated it patiently, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.
Su Yu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "This is too much, are you guys robbing me openly?"
The waiter's expression became stern, and he said sternly, "Sir, please do not speak rudely. Every inch of this silver hairpin is carefully forged from pure silver. Soft silver needs to be specially forged countless times before it can become as hard as steel, not to mention that such a small hairpin is infused with such a complex mechanism."
After hearing this, Su Yu nodded thoughtfully, seeming to be convinced by this explanation.
"As for this dagger, it doesn't look impressive, but it is forged from precious black iron. You know, the black iron long sword hanging in my shop is priced at over a thousand taels of silver."
The young man rolled his eyes as he spoke, and added: "As for the sickle, for your sake, I'll just consider it a gift and not include it in the total price!"
Su Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, he never thought that there was an unexpected surprise in this transaction.
After thinking for a moment, she decided, "Okay then, I'll just take this hairpin."
After paying one hundred and twenty taels of silver, Su Yu walked out of "Sword Without Blindness" holding a sickle and a newly bought hairpin, with only two taels of silver left in his pocket, which jingled loudly, and he felt mixed emotions.
At this moment, she suddenly realized whether she was driven by some obsession and had to buy such an expensive item?
However, she really couldn't accept cheap stuff, and always felt that it was not classy enough.
Never mind. Money is something outside of your body. If you lose it, you can earn it again.
Such finely crafted objects are hard to find once you miss them.
What's more, for her own safety, she really needed a reliable self-defense weapon.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistake and encountering thieves again, the loss would probably be more than just this silver.
Thinking back to the basket and those beloved little things that were lost in the morning, Su Yu felt a dull pain in his heart.
I regret so much - why didn't I ask Mr. Zhou to pay for today's expenses together with the compensation?
But on second thought, the value of this precious Hundred Poison Pill obtained by chance is immeasurable. After weighing the pros and cons, it seems that not only did he not suffer any loss, but he actually got a huge bargain.
Hunger surged like a tide, reminding Su Yu that he had to comfort his empty stomach as soon as possible.
She strolled towards a seemingly simple but popular noodle stall on the street, chose a seat facing the street and sat down, and quietly ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles, as if it was a small reward for herself.
When the steaming bowl of clear soup noodles was placed in front of her, she was stunned by the low price of only five cents.
Her eyes moved back and forth between the noodles and the simple yet unique hairpin in her hand, as she quickly calculated in her mind how many such heart-warming and filling meals she could buy in exchange for this small trinket.
As her thoughts raced, the proprietress kindly reminded her to interrupt her reverie: "Girl, eat it while it's hot. If you soak the noodles for too long, the taste will be much worse."
