Chapter 132: Going to the Feast
"Daddy...... The wood carvings you carved are amazing, like the real thing, so magical. ”
In the dilapidated carpenter's shop,
Wood piled up, the ground was full of sawdust, and the sound of a childish child sounded in my ears.
"Daddy...... Why don't you carve eyes on every wood carving, whether it's an animal or a human?"
The child raised the wood carving in his hand and tilted his head and asked suspiciously.
"I don't learn such old-fashioned things as Dad. "A slightly green voice, mixed with the screeching sound of the voice change period.
The young man folded his hands, turned his head and said angrily.
"Dad, those ruffians are here again today, and I don't want to go on like this...... I want to learn martial arts, I want to practice martial arts! Only by practicing martial arts can we change our destiny. ”
There was a hint of stubbornness in his voice.
"Daddy, I want to learn woodcut from you. ”
From immature innocence to rebellion and maturity, a figure appeared in front of him in a trance, with a resolute face, a touch of ruthlessness between his eyebrows and eyes, and the figure slowly changed in front of him, from small to large, from large to small.
Finally becomes a ......
Pink carved dolls, coarse cloth clothes, eyebrows and eyes full of curiosity about the world, innocent eyes.
Stinky Boy...... It's still cute when I was a kid. ”
The old man couldn't help but laugh stupidly. After rubbing the rough texture on the handle twice, I made a decision!
Sawdust falls off piece by piece under the carving knife,
The candle flame flickered, the old man couldn't help but squint his eyes and leaned closer, but the knife became more and more like divine help, and decades of woodcarving experience were undoubtedly revealed at this time.
The wax melts little by little,
There are a few more wine gourds on the ground......
Finally the fire was extinguished.
The rain stopped,
As soon as the sky revealed the white belly of the fish, the rooster of the unknown house couldn't wait to coo.
The morning light shone through the window paper into the hut, and a lifelike little figure appeared from the shadows, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his smile was extremely expressive, his eyebrows and eyes were immature, but his eyes were not dotted by the old man, and there was a little less real charm.
Under the expression of emotion, it can be said that this wood carving is the culmination of the old man's decades of wood carving works.
Like ...... It's like ......."
The old man was obsessed, rubbed his waist and legs, and sat down with difficulty. I'm old, and I've stood all night, even if I have good wine to refresh myself, I'm almost unable to support it at this time.
"I'll just say, you stinky boy was cute when you were a child!" The old man laughed, and the old hand touched the bare head, eyebrows, eyes, lips, and heart.
The confusion in his eyes became even thicker, and he sat on a small stool and looked at the little man intently, and muttered: "You haven't heard from you for decades, and I don't know how long I can live as an old man......"
The old man stood up with his arm on the little man's shoulder.
"Huh?"
When he stood up, he seemed to feel the sound of a heartbeat on this little wooden figure.
The old man raised his hand and shook it, blinked his eyes, and his hand turned into an afterimage in his sight, and he put his hand back on the wooden man, and withdrew his hand suspiciously.
'I stayed up all night, and my body was gone...... I laughed at myself.
As soon as the spirit relaxed, the sleepiness swept up like a tide, and the old man patted the sawdust all over his body, poured directly on the bed next to him, and fell asleep.
It's just that what Elder Yan couldn't notice was ...... After he fell asleep, with a slight snoring, the little wooden man's chest rose and fell slightly like a human.
A leisurely aroma of plants and trees quietly rose, and the breeze blowing in through the window paper swirled and disappeared with the fragrance......
The old man's breathing became more steady, and he muttered twice: "Stinky boy." He rolled over and went back to sleep.
......
......
As the sun sets, the ground of the school grounds glows with dark yellow light and shadow.
Boom!
The arrow pierces the target and pierces a boulder behind!
Li Xian couldn't help but sigh, although he hit the target, he was '108,000 miles' away from the bull's-eye.
Today he practiced with a bow and arrow!
"Xiao Xian, you have to work hard to practice this aspect of riding and archery......" Xu Ming, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but smile and said: "But in the end, the foundation is deep, and after just one day's kung fu, he can already hit the target steadily, and practicing well is no worse than those marksmen in the Fengzi Battalion!"
Thanks to Brother Xu's good ......"
Li Xian smiled with a bow and arrow.
In the past few days, his life is very regular, he gets up early in the morning to hold the military book and the sword diary to study and compare, and then stares at the soldiers' drills, and at noon he goes to Yan Lao's carpenter shop to learn carving, and returns to the small courtyard at night to eat all kinds of supplements to condense qi and blood.
As for the bow and arrow,
Li Xian seriously doubted whether Cui Sheng already knew that Wang Jinglin had fully funded him to participate in the martial arts, so that he could win the position of the county lord in the wilderness, and specially sent someone over to give him additional lessons!
After all, archery and horse archery is a rigid standard for martial arts, and in the past, Li Xian could still rampage with a single knife and a strong body in the army, but if he used his unpopular riding and archery to participate in martial arts, it would be a bit unqualified.
This is Youzhou, and the blood of the Northland men is so strong and ruthless, if you don't practice well...... What kind of county honorable position is also talked about.
Although there are a lot of things to learn every day, such as military books, swordsmanship, carving, cavalry and archery, and leading soldiers, he enjoys it and feels very fulfilled, and he chooses to take this path...... There are also people who are helping themselves and spurring themselves with their hearts, which is undoubtedly excellent.
Early this morning,
Xu Ming came to his hut...... Calling him to practice his bow and arrow. Xu Ming is undoubtedly a veteran of the army for many years, although the Shanzi Battalion is said to be infantry, but the bow and crossbow are standard, but there is no less! Regarding the various skills of bows and arrows, Xu Ming taught them, and accompanied Li Xian to practice all day!
No matter what aspect it is, teaching is undoubtedly the greatest blessing, because experience can make people take fewer detours and grow faster.
At the same time, Li Xian certainly knew that Xu Ming was investing in himself.
As a pro-soldier lieutenant beside Cui Sheng, Xu Ming is undoubtedly the person who knows the inside story the most, and he also understands the importance that Cui Sheng and Lu Guangxin attach to this Li Baijiang.
In fact, Xu Ming's observation of Li Xian ...... Started very early.
When the barbarians invaded, Yu Zhubo personally came to the Shanzi camp to take Li Xian away...... Where to go? Some clues cannot be concealed from those who have a heart, and it is not difficult to guess the truth of that day when combined.
If you want to say that sitting in Xu Ming's position, what else does he have to seek, and there is nothing to seek...... His status in the Shanzi camp can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand.
If there is anyone who can best figure out Cui Sheng's thoughts, then it must be Xu Ming, who has always been by his side!
He immediately sensed that Cui Sheng wanted to promote Li Xian.
In fact, in Xu Ming's opinion, Li Xian had already completed a imperial examination in Cui Sheng, the county government was seeded that day, and Lu Yang's hand, Li Xian got the passing list, the birth of the waterwheel is undoubtedly a plus, and the passing grade has become excellent, and the matter of Heavenly Ghost Sect and Song Yuyun gave this answer sheet full marks!
If the teacher is satisfied, he will naturally tilt more resources, and Xu Ming can be said to see all this clearly.
Even to a certain extent, Xu Ming can see farther than Li Xian, and many people are doing it!
In fact, he has done the most of this kind of thing, the 100,000 soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion, the number of seedlings that emerge every year is not counted, more or less he has made friends, in terms of popularity, no one can compare to Xu Ming in the Shanzi Battalion, but he understands more clearly, these people ...... In a way, the ceiling will not exceed him.
What is this upper limit?
It's the brand, the brand of the mountain word camp!
No matter how you go up, the top of your head is Cui Sheng!
But Li Xian is different...... His upside is undoubtedly much greater, because behind him is Lu Guangxin, who is too guarded by the upper party and the masses, and the wind forest and volcano are all soldiers and horses under Lu Guangxin.
You taste, you taste.
And most importantly......
There are many political factors involved in the transfer of the Shanzi Battalion.
Li Xian has come all the way...... Xu Ming undoubtedly sees it most clearly, this is a capable, ambitious person...... All he pays is time, and this kind of pay is undoubtedly the cheapest in investment, so why not!
The good karma at this time is the good result in the future.
Whew-
Exhaling softly, Li Xian carefully pulled the bowstring full, emptying his mind.
The wind is moving slowly,
Boom!
In Li Xian's perspective, the arrow, driven by the unparalleled acceleration force, easily cut through the surrounding air and hit the bull's-eye!
Syllable...... Bang Bang ......
Xu Ming applauded and said with a smile: "Xiao Xian...... That's good, but the immovable target is the most basic, don't be complacent!"
"Hmmm......"
Li Xian nodded and smiled.
That's when ......
A pro-soldier hurriedly ran out of the backyard and came to Xu Ming's side and whispered a few times.
Xu Ming frowned at first, said a few words, and walked straight towards Li Xian.
Xiao Xian...... General Cui has something to look for me, and my brother won't accompany you. ”
Li Xian bowed his hand and said, "Okay...... Then the little brother won't bother Brother Xu. ”
Seeing Xu Ming and the two enter the backyard,
Bending the bow and arrows,
a little
Let go, the bowstring thump!
The arrow hits the bullseye again.
Bows and arrows are the most abundant in the army, and Li Xian's innate conditions for practice are better than others, I don't know how much, you must know that a good bow and arrow is the most expensive!
At the entrance of the lobby, Da Zhuang led Steward Cheng in.
Coincidentally, I saw this majestic scene!
"Li Baijiang is good at archery!"
Steward Cheng flattered.
Hearing the voice, Li Xian turned around, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yo, Steward Cheng, didn't everyone send today's medicine, why did you come here in person?"
Steward Cheng's face was calm, and he smiled respectfully and said: "Lord Baijiang hasn't eaten yet, my lord has chartered Tingxiangfang today, and specially invited Baijiang to come over." ”
Da Zhuang stood silently aside, lowering his eyebrows, counting the ants on the ground.
Listen to the incense fang. ’
The corners of Li Xian's mouth outlined an inexplicable smile, and said: "Steward Cheng is good at picking a time every time he comes over, and it happens to be when I am free." ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Steward Cheng's face stiffened suddenly.
You're still pretending to be with me." ’
The two sides had little contact at first, and Li Xian hadn't noticed anything yet, and with his cautious temperament, he had long been suspicious.
Glancing at the sky,
The carriage is ready outside, all right...... It just so happens that I also want to talk to Wang Jinglin. ”
After that,
Li Xian took the lead and went to do other things.
Wang Lin looked at Li Xian's back, and under the expensive sleeve robe, a cold sweat broke out. wiped the cold sweat on his sideburns, and hurriedly followed Li Xian.
Wang Jinglin, the old fox, has a lot on his mind!'
Li Xian's face was expressionless, and there was still a little cold in his eyes.
I'm afraid I don't know where I am. ’
Walking to the gate of the county office, Lao Chen had already waited at the door with several soldiers.
The same luxurious carriage was already waiting at the door.
......
The wheels are rolling, driving towards Tingxiangfang.
