When Miss Zhao San saw them coming, she whispered, "I won't be able to go out with you for half a while." ”

Xia Chen patted him on the shoulder: "Aren't we here to play with you, do you need our help?" ”

Miss Zhao San said, "It's time to feed the chickens." ”

Xia Chen pushed Zhao Xiaoliu: "We'll help you." ”

Miss Zhao San smiled faintly: "Then I'll go back to the house and get chicken food." ”

Zhao Xiaoliu tugged at Xia Chen's sleeve and whispered, "Head, don't you look at it, Miss Zhao San smiled." ”

Xia Chen bumped him with his elbow: "Of course I watched." Shut up and come out. ”

Zhao Xiaoliu took the chicken food, and the three of them came to the chicken coop together, and Zhao San said: "Sprinkle the chicken food on the edge of the yard, don't let the chickens get close to those longevity materials." ”

Xia Chen and Zhao Xiaoliu sprinkled the chicken food on the wall according to their words, and several old hens with a dozen and a half chicken cubs immediately rushed forward to fight, and a big rooster walked over with square steps and crowed, as if he was very dissatisfied with these hens ignoring its chicken power, and then pecked at a chick who was blocking it and didn't know whether it was alive or dead. The chick screamed, fluttered its wings and ran.

Miss Zhao San hurriedly said: "Hurry up and come back." ”

As soon as Xia Chen and Zhao Xiaoliu heard this, they immediately went to intercept the frightened chick. But in the eyes of that little chicken, they were even more terrible than the big rooster, so they began to fly all over the yard, provoking the old yellow dog that had been tied to the corner of the yard to bark, and the neighbor's dog barked too, which was really hilarious.

Xia Chen was anxious for a while, there were still patients in this room! She shouted at Zhao Xiaoliu: "You go to the gate, I'm here." Saying that, he was about to retreat to the front of the house, so that he and Zhao Xiaoliu could "sandwich the chicken on both sides", just a few steps back before he tripped on the oil drum, and his body almost fell, but fortunately he grabbed the plank in time, and suddenly felt that his hands were sticky.

Just as he was thinking about looking for something to wipe it, he heard Zhao Xiaoliu shouting, "Huang Mao, grab it quickly." ”

The chick ran right at her feet, and Xia Chen pounced with both hands and grabbed it. While no one was paying attention, he used the chick as a rag and rubbed his hands.

After feeding the chickens, the chickens were blasted back to the chicken coop, and they talked to Zhao San's girl, and Xia Chen and Zhao Xiaoliu left his house.

Xia Chen wanted to confirm his guess and asked, "Monkey, what did they brush on the coffin board?" ”

Zhao Xiaoliu really said: "Tung oil." ”

Xia Chen didn't ask why the chickens were locked up, she thought she was afraid that the chickens would run around and dirty the boards, but she didn't want to have another reason.

"Monkey, I'm going to Second Uncle Yao's house, will you go?"

Zhao Xiaoliu's head shook like a rattle: "I don't dare to go." ”

His answer was expected by Xia Chen. "Then you go home first, I'll find you when I'm free."

She deliberately made a detour, passed in front of Mr. Qian's house, and saw that the door of his house was locked, Xia Chen leaned over to the crack in the door and looked into the courtyard. The watchdog of his house immediately barked wildly, so as not to be seen, she immediately ran away, thinking that Boss Qian's family must have been busy with work in the field these days, which is really a good opportunity.

As soon as I walked to Second Uncle Yao's house, I ran into Black Hair, and Xia Chen happily touched its head: "Did Second Uncle Yao ask you to come to me?" ”

Black Fur wagged his tail and circled around her. Hei Mao was trained by Second Uncle Yao to understand human speech very well, if Second Uncle Yao let it find himself, as long as he didn't leave the village, he could find it.

When he arrived at Second Uncle Yao's house, Xia Chen saw that he was wearing a cyan soap-satin tights today, with a belt around his waist and a meticulous headscarf, which looked extremely formal.

"Second Uncle Yao, I was coming to you, and I met Hei Mao on the way."

Yao Zhen beckoned: "Come, take a horse step and show me first." He said and put on a horse stance.

Xia Chen didn't pretend to be fake, and immediately took a standard horse step, in fact, she also secretly practiced in the room on weekdays. The so-called if you don't advance, you will retreat, and practicing this thing cannot be wasted in a day.

Yao Zhen found that he couldn't find any fault, and was extremely satisfied: "Yes, someone taught you?" ”

Xia Chen said: "I went to school according to the book." ”

Yao Zhen looked happy: "Then what else will you do?" ”

Xia Chen threw a set of punches, which was the basic move she learned when she first learned Muay Thai. Including jab, straight, uppercut, hook, flat uppercut. As for the elbow and knee methods and leg methods, it was useless, she wanted to enter the study of swordsmanship as soon as possible, but she didn't want to scare Yao Zhen.

But this had already surprised Yao Zhen so much that he didn't say anything for a long time, and he was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

Xia Chen smiled and asked, "Second Uncle Yao, how is this punch?" ”

"Uh, good, good, your set of boxing is 100 sets stronger than those flower boxing embroidered legs, if you practice to the heat, the actual combat is also very effective." Then he sighed and said, "There are still these things in the book!" ”

Xia Chen thought to himself, as long as his physical fitness comes up, and with the Tai Chi style of overcoming rigidity with softness and pulling out thousands of gold, three or five adult men may not be opponents if they have never practiced kung fu. However, she has never worked on the blade, and has only practiced double crutches for a while.

In modern times, it is impossible to swagger through the market with a sword, otherwise even if you are not caught as a dangerous person, you will be regarded as a psychopath. What's more, she didn't practice martial arts to participate in competitions, but for Yan Shiming! Thinking of him, Xia Chen's heart throbbed, he must be living happily with Luo Jing now, right? She pursed her lips and said to herself secretly: I must make my life better!

"Second Uncle Yao, will I be able to learn swordsmanship right away?"

Yao Zhen nodded again and again: "Yes, naturally, I will teach you a set of simple and practical swordsmanship now." As he spoke, he swung his sword and danced in the courtyard.

I saw that the sword shadow was heavy, swishing with the wind, and every move and style was very beautiful, without any ambiguity. Xia Chen was sure that he had practiced this set of swordsmanship more than a thousand times, and he had no tricks, thinking that he had followed the head of the sect when he was a soldier.

Second Uncle Yao is always slumped on his back when he is tormented by injuries and pains, but at this time, he seems to be as heroic and chic as a young man. Xia Chen also opened his eyes and carefully memorized every move.

The moves are the same, and all changes are inseparable from them, and it is not easy for ordinary people to remember three moves and five styles after reading it, but Xia Chen has practiced a variety of boxing techniques, and the sixteen-style swordsmanship has been memorized.

When she said she wanted to try it, when she took the sword handed over by Yao Zhen, she unexpectedly found that this sword was different from what she remembered, the hilt was covered with iron, and the sword body was wide and thick, estimated to weigh more than ten catties. I closed my eyes and thought about the moves, and danced, and after only practicing it once, I was already sweating.

Yao Zhen laughed: "Hao Chen'er, you are really smart, you remember so much after watching it." ”

Xia Chen wiped his sweat: "Why is this sword so heavy?" ”

Yao Zhen said: "This is quite light, those Xuanguo soldiers mostly use scimitars or hammers, and the heavy ones can reach 100 catties." Killing the enemy on the battlefield, the move is important, but the strength is even more important, you will often suffer from the enemy on the back, or face several enemies at the same time, if you don't even have the power to parry, how can you talk about killing the enemy? ”

Xia Chen naturally understands this truth, there is a big difference between group fighting and one-on-one fighting, at least there will not be a lot of room to dodge, and often be attacked from different directions at the same time, in such a situation, you have to choose to dodge the deadly, parry fatal, bear the lightest, but inevitably take a few hits.

Her first Muay Thai master also said that the first thing to practice martial arts is to practice being beaten, and if you can't withstand the beating, it is impossible to completely defeat your opponent. In her previous life, she had practiced her resistance quite well, but now she ...... Vulnerable.

You must know that there is a word called "desperate", in your life-and-death battle, some people would rather lose themselves than die with the enemy! This situation is especially common on the battlefield, and it is impossible to prevent it. Otherwise, some people would say that to become famous for a general, it is not only by force and strategy, but also by luck, if you are shot by a cold arrow flying from nowhere...... That's not the case.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Second Uncle Yao, in this way, even if I learn swordsmanship now, it is almost the same as dancing, and it is useless." ”

Second Uncle Yao patted her on the shoulder: "Learn the moves well first, practice diligently, and you will grow into a man sooner or later." ”

Hearing this, she was even more discouraged, originally thought that Second Uncle Yao had some tricks! It seems that it can't transcend the innate constraints. Women are not as good as men in terms of physical fitness, and in modern competitions they are divided into men's and women's and heavyweight classes. In this way, although it is more than enough to deal with some half-people, when encountering real masters, especially the power type, they will inevitably suffer a big loss.

Yao Zhen saw that she didn't speak, thinking she was tired. "Chen'er, I'll get you a lighter sword these days, and when you master this set of swordsmanship, I'll teach you another set and how to deal with the enemy on the battlefield."

Xia Chen had no choice but to nod, and said in his heart that this Second Uncle Yao originally wanted to train her to become a warrior! I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint him.

At this time, Aunt Yao came out of the house: "Chen'er, why is there so much sweat, come into the house to eliminate the sweat, don't catch a cold." I burned a few potatoes to eat two. ”

The potatoes have just been burned and are extremely fragrant, and the black hair is so hungry that it drools. Xia Chen knew that Second Uncle Yao had nothing to eat, and he would not be without black hair, so what made her feel strange was that Second Uncle Yao actually broke the potatoes into small pieces and gave them to the black hair after blowing them cool.

"Second Uncle Yao, the black hair is so big, wouldn't it be good to give it one to eat by yourself?"

Yao Zhen said: "If it's a hot bone, it's okay to give it directly, but it's not okay to burn potatoes, and the whole thing will burn it." As he spoke, he broke another one: "You see, it's not very hot outside, but it's still extremely hot inside." Dogs are in a hurry to eat, and they stick to their gums when they bite down, and they want to vomit but can't vomit, and they will be burned. ”

Xia Chen nodded, don't say it's a dog, if you're not careful, your tongue will be burned, and when you eat this roasted potato, you must first break it to dissipate the heat inside.

After returning home for dinner, Xia Chen saw Han Qi standing up to go back to his house, and said, "Third uncle, wait, Chen'er doesn't recognize a few words." ”

"Let's go, I'll see." Han Qi thought to himself what kind of brain this nephew must have used, if he said that he didn't understand any word, it was normal, and if he said that he couldn't read and write, others wouldn't believe him.

When he came to the backyard, Han Qi stopped: "Chen'er, what made it so mysterious?" ”

Xia Chen rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Third uncle, is it really that bad to be a soldier?" She was born with a bad temper and thought that there were no absolutes in everything, so much so that she often saw the coffin without shedding tears, and did not look back when she hit the south wall. The more others said it was impossible, the more she wanted to try.

What's more, it's really painful to recite those who are good all day long, if he is admitted to the Jinshi and becomes an official, he will have to put on a sanctimonious appearance all day long, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and every time he meets someone who is older than his own official, he will nod his head and waist, even if he is a prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, he will kowtow to the emperor every day, just thinking about it is crazy.

Han Qi's face sank: "It's bad! Now that the war is raging, even if those who serve in the military do not die, they are still going to be bound with their heads, and when they return, their heads are still white. All those who have joined the army and served in the ten miles and eight villages near us, those who know Xin'er will either be disabled or die. ”

Xia Chen felt that his statement was an exaggeration, although it was dangerous to fight, it would not be impossible to go to one without one, even if it was difficult to leave the barracks, it would be sooner or later to stand out on his own. "Third uncle, isn't Second Uncle Yao coming back from retirement? Isn't he good? ”

Han Qi smiled bitterly, looking a little embarrassed: "He just turned forty, why do you think he has no children?" ”
