Many people may not be familiar with the walking stick of an old man in the countryside and don't know what kind of wood that thing is made of.
But I know a lot about this stuff because I grew up in the countryside and am used to seeing these things.
According to my experience, generally speaking, people who are a little better off will specifically find a carpenter to build a walking stick for the elderly, and the wood used is mostly nan wood or elm wood, or at the very least pine wood. These woods have one common characteristic, and that is that they are strong, basically hard as iron, and will last for many years without deformation or damage. Some of the walking sticks were also carefully carved with something like a dragon's head. A walking stick, so to speak, represents the authority of an old man and is a material and spiritual treasure that can be passed on to future generations.
Of course, such elaborate walking sticks were generally only for the rich, but for the poorer families, the old man's walking sticks were very random, mostly broken sticks picked up from the roadside, and the wood and material, and even the shape, were a bit fancy, so it was hard to say exactly how much.
It is hard to say exactly how much. The walking stick in her grandmother's hand is not an elaborate one, as her family is very poor, but the material is not simple, it is stinky orange wood.
The wood is so strong that it is ridiculously strong, especially after drying, it can be chopped with an axe and chopped with a knife, making it a great material.
Because of this characteristic, many poor old people like to use this wood as a walking stick.
The cane of Grandma Redcap was made of stinky orange wood, and it was as thick as a wrist, which didn't look strange in the hand, but when it was swung around to hit someone, it was as powerful as an iron bar.
To be honest, I really didn't know why the grandmother was beating me.
However, looking at the situation now, it was obvious that the two grandparents had conspired to deal with me, so as soon as the grandmother said something, the red hat grabbed me first.
In this way, I was crouching and could not move, so I could only dodge that head-butt, and then the stick hit me hard on my right shoulder.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound, the cane slammed down, and I was in such pain that my whole face twitched, feeling as if my bones were broken. Why are you hitting me?"
"You dare to come out in broad daylight to seek life, don't you think I can see that? I'll risk my life to fight you today, Redcap, hold on to him!"
The old grandmother's voice was hoarse and trembling as she screamed at me, and then she swung her cane and smashed at me again.
"Wh-"
The cane whistled and blew, falling on my head with such ferocity that it was clear that the old woman was really fierce; she wanted to smash me to death.
"Damn it!"
At this time, I still did not understand the situation at all, I could only subconsciously operate the secret technique of Spiritual Birth, the Yin power of my right hand instantly penetrated and seeped into Dai Hongcai's body, then Dai Hongcai's body went limp, her head tilted, she fell to the ground foaming at the mouth and twitched, while I also took the opportunity to pull myself out, dodged the old grandmother's fatal blow, and dodged and jumped up from in front of the table.
"Redcap, Redcap!"
When she saw the condition of Red Hat, the old grandmother could not help but be filled with heartache and panic, she trembled and walked over, reached out to caress Red Hat's face and cried, "My good granddaughter, what have you, what have you suffered?
"Grandma, don't worry, Red Hat is fine," I said to her as I rubbed my shoulder.
"You!" When she heard my words, the grandmother turned around and stared at me viciously, then she gritted her teeth and shouted, "It's all of you, you devils that killed my granddaughter. Hey, aren't you bold? I've asked Redcap to sprinkle glutinous rice all around the house, so you're going to die today!"
As the old man spoke, he charged towards me, waving his walking stick.
I was so baffled that I couldn't understand what was going on, so I could only run towards the outside of the house.
When I reached the door, I noticed that there was indeed a circle of glutinous rice scattered on the ground, but this stuff obviously did not have any effect on me, and I walked past it quite openly.
She couldn't help but freeze in her tracks, her walking stick slowly slipping out of her hand, and then she sat down in the snow, shivering and muttering, "The glutinous rice is useless, the glutinous rice is useless, how is this possible? How is it possible? Is it really possible that you Yin masters can be so lawless? Please save my granddaughter, please save her, I beg you!"
As she spoke, the old grandmother fell on her back and kowtowed to God in the mud and water, in a miserable, but insane and horrible state.
"Brother, come back and take me!"
At this very moment, Little Puddle's voice came, and when I looked up, I realised that she was standing inside the glutinous rice circle full of tension.
"When did you come out? Didn't I tell you not to come out first?" Seeing her appearance, I couldn't help but grumble.
"Oops, didn't they just beat you up? I came out as usual, you forgot, we were supposed to work together," she said to me with a pout, a little smugly.
"So what's wrong with you now? Why aren't you coming over?" I asked, looking at her curiously.
"I can't get through, those glutinous rice are blocking me." Little Puddle said to me.
"What are you afraid of that for?" I wondered.
"I don't know, it burns when I step on it anyway," the little girl was also a little puzzled.
"Okay, I get it, this thing really does have the power to restrain Yin and Evil, well wait, I'll come and take you." I walked over and took the little muddle into the purple house, then looked somewhat helplessly at the old grandmother who was covered in mud and was crying inside the snowy water, finally I could only go up and pull her up and help her into the house.
The grandmother was already delirious and had no idea what she was doing, so I couldn't say anything to her.
What I didn't expect was that when I entered the room, I could not help but scream out in shock when I saw Dai Hongcai lying at the table.
He was twitching all over and spitting out a lot of blood from his mouth.
