In the next few days, Chen Mu practiced by the river in the morning, and when he returned to Cai Yong's house after practicing, he read books in the room. In the afternoon, I went to the river to practice.

Soon, it was time to make an appointment with the young man who sold books, Chen Mu and Cai Yong went together, negotiated the price, a set of dictionaries from Qingyun Bookstore twenty taels of silver, pay a deposit of ten taels first, deliver the goods after five days, and then pay the final payment.

Twenty taels of silver is not a small money, Chen Mu has learned a little in the past few days, the current price of a pound of rice is ten copper coins, one or two lines of silver can be exchanged for about two thousand Wen, depending on the fineness of the silver, it may be more or less, roughly this number.

That is to say, one or two pieces of silver can buy 200 catties of rice, and 20 taels can buy 4,000 catties.

The pound in this world is not the same as that on the other side of the earth, but it is not far behind. If one person eats one pound of rice a day, a family of three can eat for several years.

However, the situation here is still different from that of ancient Earth, and the yield of crops is particularly high. Now that the crops in the farmland are about to ripen, he was really surprised to see that the number of ears of grain on the plants was abnormal, more than he had seen before.

So, the price of food here is not very high.

In any case, in a world where knowledge is monopolized at the top, it is acceptable that books are a little more expensive.

I hope this dictionary can help him understand the book "Taihao Refining God". The content of this book is difficult to understand, and if he guessed correctly, it should be a spiritual text.

............

In the evening, Chen Mu came to the place where he practiced by the river, and after warming up, he practiced the third set of boxing techniques.

After a few days of hard training, he had mastered the strength of the gun. Start trying the third force.

The set of boxing he is practicing now, called Youlong Winding Silk Hand, is a completely different path from Fuhu Boxing and Collapse Boxing, this is a light and flexible boxing method, there are a total of thirty-six styles, each style has several variations, the routine is complicated, and it is much more complicated than the first two boxing methods.

In the "Zhao's Boxing Book", there are less than two pages of the content of the broken fist, and there are twenty pages of Youlong winding silk hands and feet. Break down each action.

It takes a lot of time just to memorize these moves, and it is impossible to master the essentials in one day like practicing Fuhu Quan before.

"Not true. ”

When he reached the third form, he stopped, took out the boxing book from his arms, opened it and looked at it for a while, made a forward movement with his right hand, and said to himself, "It should be like this." ”

He put the score away, practiced the move a few times, memorized it, and started again.

In this way, he practiced and stopped, and after a full hour, he could barely finish the thirty-six styles, but he was still far from mastering.

There is no shortcut to this, you can only practice it over and over again until you are proficient.

"You're not a fool. ”

Suddenly, a slightly mocking voice came.

Chen Mu didn't need to turn his head, he knew that it must be the girl he met last two times, and he couldn't help frowning, how could this person not go away?

The girl said funny, "I didn't practice Fuhu boxing halfway through, so I ran to practice Collapse Boxing, and after a few days of Collapse Boxing, I practiced silk wrapping again." No matter how much you practice, you can't do it. ”

He turned around and saw the girl in a pink dress and carrying a wooden cage with a bird of colored feathers in it, flapping its wings and looking like a parrot.

He said, "Thank you, girl, for your advice." "I'm leaving.

The girl walked a few steps, blocked his way, and said unhappily, "You said that you were thanking me, but you didn't have any sincerity at all, and besides, you dared to lie to me last time." I haven't settled accounts with you yet. At the end, her eyes widened.

"Settle accounts with you, settle accounts with you. The parrot in the cage cried out, and the voice was clear.

The girl looked at the parrot in the cage with some surprise and praised, "Good parrot, really good, I will reward you with melon seeds later." ”

Chen Mu said helplessly, "Girl, we don't know each other, why do you want to block my way twice or three times?"

The girl snorted as she teased the parrot with a branch, and said, "Of course I have to ask if you sneak up the mountain behind me." Tell me, are you a thief so you can avoid me?"

When he met such a tricky girl, he had a little headache and said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know that it was the mountain behind your house, please forgive me." It's just that my master has an order, and the boxing method he has learned must not be passed on, not to avoid the girl. ”

The girl's tone was a little disgusted, "Just your three-legged cat, you practice a lot of mistakes, who rarely learns?"

"The girl's martial arts are profound, so she naturally can't see it, but the teacher's fate is difficult to disobey, I hope the girl won't be surprised. ”

"Okay, that's it. ”

Chen Mu arched his hand and said, "Farewell." ”

"Wait, who said you could go?" the maiden stopped him again.

Chen Mu looked at her and asked, "What's the matter with the girl?"

"What I'm talking about is that you can forget about your trespassing on the mountain behind my house. I didn't let you go. The girl threw away the branch in her hand, looked him up and down, and said, "You don't speak the truth, you don't look like a good person, say, what are you, what are you doing in Xiangshan City?"

Chen Mu asked with some displeasure, "What do you mean, girl?"

The girl said, "There was a big incident in Fufeng City a while ago, and the Zhao family was destroyed. The murderer hasn't been caught yet, and now, people of unknown origin are being investigated everywhere, and I think you are very suspicious. ”

Chen Mu was stunned in his heart, the origin was unknown, it was his biggest weakness, and he said in a deep voice, "The girl can't help but look up to me too much, my three-legged cat kung fu, can I do such things?"

The girl said as a matter of course, "You can't be a murderer, but you may be an accomplice." You'd better be honest. ”

Chen Mu knew that if she didn't say it, she would still be entangled, so she said, "My name is Zhao Ping, I am from Tanglin County, I am here to visit relatives, and now I live in Cai Yong's house. ”

After finishing speaking, he saw a smug smile on the girl's face, and suddenly understood that she was probably just a girl's heart, and she wanted to breathe, but she didn't really want to trouble him.

Sure enough, she nodded and said, "It's best if you're not an accomplice, I'll keep an eye on you." ”

At this time, it was almost dark, Chen Mu left directly, she didn't stop him anymore, and after he walked away, she said to herself, "Tanglin County......?

"Settle accounts with you, settle accounts with you. At this moment, the parrot in the cage flapped its wings again and cried.

She happily raised the birdcage a little, looked at the parrot inside, and said, "My parrot is more well-behaved, go back, I'll give you melon seeds." ”
