My enemies became my companions

Chapter 236 Waiting
Waiting for someone is always the most boring thing in the world. Min Ning never likes to wait for someone, but his martial arts skills are not good enough, so he has to wait.

She led the horse into the village. Her throat was dry, so she knocked on a door and asked for a bowl of water. The peasant woman was a gentle person to begin with, and when she saw the young man wearing Feiyu suit, she quickly brought him some water.

After Min Ning took it, he turned his back, took out a silver needle from his sleeve, and gently transferred his internal energy into the water. When he saw that there were no ripples in the water, he put the silver needle back into his sleeve and then drank the water in one gulp.

The reason for this is that her elder sister Min Ming once said that one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. As a spy, her sister has always been knowledgeable about these dirty things. When the two sisters get together, Min Ning always hears her sister's teachings of one kind or another.

After drinking the water, he was about to hand it back when a group of children came over here playing and fighting. Min Ning dodged sideways and the bowl of water in his hand accidentally fell. The peasant woman screamed in surprise and watched the bowl of water hit her child on the head.

Min Ning suddenly pulled out his Embroidered Spring Knife, the knife flashed past, and he reached out, catching the bowl of water with the back of the knife, steadily.

The children were stunned at this magic-like scene. Those holding branches held them even tighter, fearing that the wild flowers and weeds would be in trouble soon.

Min Ning returned the bowl of water to the peasant woman, and then looked at the group of children. A brave child pointed at Min Ning's knife with his eyes wide open:
"Sir...can we touch each other?"

Min Ning smiled, generously held the knife in front of him, and carefully placed the blade facing himself and the back of the knife facing the children.

The children's eyes are shining.

"It's a real sword..."

"Really? It's sharper than my grandfather's butcher knife."

"Get rid of your butcher knife, this knife kills people!"

"Killing people is so scary."

The children's eyes were filled with excitement and joy. Their little hands stroked the blade. They probably dreamed of this knife.

Who, when they were little, waving branches, never thought of becoming a wandering hero?

Children don’t know what the world of martial arts is like, they only know what a hero is like.

The peasant woman watched this scene with a smile on her face. After a while, she held a bowl of hot rice and went to the village to find the man playing mahjong.

The children rushed to touch the knife and couldn't get enough of it. To prevent them from pushing and crowding, Min Ning asked them to line up. One by one, the children took turns touching the Embroidered Spring Knife and couldn't let it go. No matter whether they were boys or girls, it was the first time for them to see a real knife and they were very curious about it.

After a few interactions, the children who came to touch the knife started chatting with Min Ning.

"Is the official from the city?" asked a child.

"Yes, a position of neither high nor low rank."

“We haven’t even been into the city…”

"Nothing to see."

At this time, a child came up to touch the knife. It was the peasant woman's child. He asked cautiously:
"Sir, you are from the capital, so have you ever heard of... Captain Chen Yi?"

Min Ning opened his mouth, was startled and said:

"Of course I have heard of it. What's wrong?"

The child showed admiration on his face and said repeatedly:

"I heard that Captain Chen had been lying low for a long time, and one day he became a master of martial arts and helped to uphold justice..."

“…Is he that good?”

Min Ning secretly complained. After thinking for a while, Min Ning raised his chin and asked tentatively:
"You have heard of Captain Chen, but have you heard of Captain Min?"

The children were stunned for a moment, and then they all asked, who is Captain Min?
Min Ning took a deep breath and said, "His swordsmanship was taught by Captain Min."

The children understood at this time and none of them believed it, but they didn't feel like laughing because they had just touched someone else's Embroidered Spring Sword.

"Haven't you heard of it?" Min Ning asked with a frown.

One child said politely: "I have heard of it, but it's a little... I haven't heard of it before."

Min Ning raised his eyebrows slightly in dissatisfaction.

Another child said, "It seems... not very famous. Do you want a nickname?"

Before Min Ning said anything, a group of children thought it was fun and started making noise, arguing for a long time.

A child came over and raised his hand and said, "Sir, I thought of one. How about calling it Sword Rakshasa?"

The young man's face darkened slightly. The word "Raksha" sounded really ordinary. Moreover, she had always been a chivalrous woman, yet she was called Raksha. However, seeing the enthusiasm of these children, she did not want to refuse them.

"Why is it called Rakshasa?" Min Ning asked casually, "Isn't that an evil ghost?"

"My grandfather, who read Buddhist scriptures, said that everyone is wrong. Rakshasa is one of the eight heavenly dragons and the guardian deity of Buddhism. He upholds the Dharma in the world and has blessings, virtues, and divine power."

The child said in a loud voice, and the other children nodded.

Min Ning, who had not read much Buddhist scriptures and even less books, saw this and thought that supporting the Dharma in the world, having blessings, virtues, and divine power, wasn't it suitable for him?
Min Ning smiled and said, "This is me."

One of the children asked, "But aren't all Rakshasas ugly?"

Her face darkened: "This is not me."

Another child said, "Wrong, wrong, Rakshasa is ugly when it is male, and beautiful when it is female."

Min Ning blinked.
This is still me.

The nickname of Sword-Taking Rakshasa was no longer acceptable, and there was another quarrel. The children gathered together, making a lot of noise and fun, and Min Ning's expression softened.

A long, warm ray of sunlight was shining in the distance. The peasant woman had delivered the meal and was returning to the house, raising her hand to call her child from afar.

"Your mother is looking for you, go over quickly." Min Ning said casually.

Ta-ta...the sound of rapid horse hooves rang out, and the black shadow came very quickly.

Raising a knife, charging, and making a whirring sound in the wind.

The mother waved to her child, and a scimitar came from behind her as the horse galloped. With a bang, the mother's head flew high and fell to the ground.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Min Ning opened his eyes wide and heard the screams of children beside his ears.
