Chapter 2 Study

If he misses this Enko, then Zhang Yang will have to wait for four more years, and God knows what will happen after four years?

He didn't want to wait!

I can't afford to wait!

After making up his mind, Zhang Yang quickly walked towards his home, and met several uncles and aunts in Zhuangzi, and he greeted them respectfully and politely.

When she got home, the little girl had already told Zhang Yang about eating rabbit meat at night, and now she was standing at the door expectantly waiting for the eldest brother to come back and peel the skin.

And Zhang Yang's also made hot water and waited for his son to wash his face.

Everything smells of happiness.....

The little girl who ate a fragrant stewed rabbit meat danced with her hands, and even Zhang Yang ate several pieces of rabbit meat with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but sigh that her son had grown up.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the little girl was tired and went to sleep, Zhang Yang discussed with Zhang Yang about reading.

Zhang Yang said: "Mother, I have saved more than 400 yuan during this time, and when I sell the dry firewood and hare tomorrow, it is estimated that I can have 500 yuan, which is enough to buy pen and ink." So I plan to go to the town tomorrow and go to the private school to take the exam, and if I can get in, I will go to school. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Yang was obviously stunned.

After being silent for a while, he asked with some trepidation, "Does my son really want to go to school?"

"Think!" Zhang Yang looked resolute and said affirmatively: "Don't hide it from my mother, my son has actually been secretly studying literature for several years, although he only eavesdrops outside the private school every time he goes to the town, but he has also learned a little bit of ability, even if it is not much better than those gentry in the town." Next year is my quadrennial Enko, if you are lucky enough to participate in the exam, you may have a chance to advance, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that I will have to wait another four years to have a chance. ”

His so-called fact that he has been secretly studying for a few years is naturally made up blindly, and the main purpose is to make Zhang Yang's mind relieved.

However, he is still very confident in the imperial examination, compared to those gentry children in the private school, he feels that he is better than them even if he closes his eyes to the examination.

"Hey, it's a pity that your father left early, otherwise my son wouldn't have to work so hard!" Zhang Yang sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "Since my son is so confident to take the exam, the family also has twenty acres of Yongye land, so you don't need to worry about your livelihood for your mother and sister." ”

So saying, she slowly got up and went straight to the back room, and when she came out, she already had a longbow and a cloth bag in her hand.

The longbow was more than four feet long, and it was pitch black, like iron casting, but it was like iron but not iron, and I don't know what material it was made of. The two ends of the bow arm are made of cow tendons, which are straight, but even if you don't know the bow, you know that this is a good bow.

Zhang Yang naturally recognized this bow, which was used by his father Zhang Tie, and even played with it when he was a child.

Later, Zhang Tie was killed in Longyou with the army, and his robe Ze brought the bow back, and he has been cherished by Zhang Yang as a thought of his husband, and never showed it.

It's just that I didn't expect Zhang Yang to take it out today.

Zhang Yang reluctantly stroked the bow body, as if he was saying a silent goodbye, and finally handed the bow and the cloth bag to Zhang Yang and said: "This bow is the black iron bow used by your father in the past, and it was given by Lu Guogong back then. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yang pointed to the cloth bag again and said, "If you want to pull the black iron bow, you have to use the power of a thousand catties, and this is the Mangniu fist method given with the bow." According to your father, practicing this mangniu boxing method can boil qi and blood and increase strength, and the two complement each other and are indispensable, and are regarded as the heirloom of our family. It's just that I thought that your father fought on the battlefield but ended up with a horse leather shroud and returned, but my mother didn't want you to go to the army and eat with your life. ”

Tears flowed out of the corners of Zhang Yang's eyes as he spoke, but she forcibly suppressed them, and then said, "But it's okay now." My son wants to go to school and study, these things are naturally useless, so it is better to find a good buyer and sell them for further education!"

It can be seen that Zhang Yang is extremely reluctant.

You must know that this is a relic left by her father, and she is about to sell it, so as a wife, why is her heart like a knife?

This is the only sustenance she misses her husband!

It's just for her son, even though she can't bear it, she still takes it out.

Zhang Yang took the bow and cloth bag, and was immediately excited.

Zhang Tie was famous in Shibei Village back then, relying on his strength and prestige in a hundred battles.

He originally thought that Zhang Tie was born with divine power, but now he realized that he was relying on this reckless bull fist technique.

Although excited, Zhang Yang did not immediately open the cloth bag, but took the bow in his hand and turned it upside down.

As in his memory, it was very heavy, weighing more than ten pounds, but when he held the bow in his left hand and tried to pull the bowstring with his right hand, he couldn't pull it any way.

Whether the black iron bow really needs a thousand catties of strength or a fake thousand catties of strength, he doesn't know.

After all, the mountain village is too closed, firstly, there are no measuring tools, and secondly, he also feels that it is a bit exaggerated to claim that it is impossible to drive without the power of a thousand catties.

Just like the historical records, a certain general in ancient times claimed to lead millions of soldiers, but in fact, in addition to the people and auxiliaries, the actual number of sergeants used in battle may not even be 100,000.

But no matter how superficial Yang feels that this bow is probably still needed for four or five hundred catties, whether it is on the earth or in this world, it has to be said to be a rare treasure.

Although his current body is only fifteen years old, he was born in the mountains all the year round and often does farm work, so his body is very strong, and in terms of strength, he has the strength of two hundred catties, otherwise it is impossible to carry a load of dry firewood on his back to walk like flying in the mountains.

But even so, he couldn't pull the bowstring.

Seeing Zhang Yang's reluctant look, Zhang Yang put the bow back into Zhang Yang's hand when he played with the black iron bow for a while, and said with a smile: "Mother, since my father wants to keep this bow as an heirloom of our family, let's keep it." Do you know where we are in the middle of nowhere, where are the people who know the goods? Even if they are sold, they will probably be slaughtered, and they will not be able to sell them for a good price.

Besides, I have installed a hundred and ten rabbit sets on the mountain during this time, and I have a little bit of money to say in one night, which is enough to supplement the household and buy pen and ink!

Zhang Yang is a traditional woman, when her husband is there, his wife follows her husband, and after her husband dies, she will be a mother and a son, not to mention that Zhang Yang's words are reasonable and well-founded, and Zhang Yang's request for her son is naturally agreed.

After the discussion was completed, Zhang Yang returned to the bedroom, and Zhang Yang couldn't wait to open the cloth bag to see that he was flipping through the secret book that Zhang Tie regarded as a family heirloom.

As a man, no matter ancient or modern, who doesn't have a dream of martial arts? Who doesn't have a fantasy of fighting the sword and wandering all over the world?

And now that a real martial arts cheats book is in front of him, how can Zhang Yang not be tempted?

The secret book is very thin, only about a dozen pages, and most of it is a human figure outlined in ink.

The characters in the picture are vivid, and every move and style has a detailed breakdown. In addition, there is also the power of red line marking, which makes it easier to understand.

It's just that Zhang Yang couldn't help frowning after reading it.

According to the secret book, there are nine strokes in the Mangniu boxing method, and each move can have the power of a bull, and after the nine strokes are practiced, it is enough to have the power of the bull.

Think about it carefully, even if the power of one ox is only 1,000 catties, then the power of nine oxen is more than 10,000 catties?

However, the whole set of Mangniu boxing is divided into three volumes, and this one in his hand is the upper volume, which only records the practice of 1-3 strokes of Mangniu boxing, if you want to continue to practice, you can only find the middle and lower two volumes to continue to practice.

However, even if this cheat book was given by Zhang Tie because of his merits, how difficult is it to find the other two?

However, the only consolation that made Zhang Yang feel was that at least he knew that the follow-up cheats should be found in the army.

Even he vaguely felt that the Mangniu Fist Method should be used as a regular secret book in the army, specially for the practice of basic recruits in the army.

It took a whole hour for Zhang Yang to memorize all the mangniu boxing techniques in the last volume, not because he didn't want to try it out, but because he was afraid of affecting Zhang Yang's and his little sister to sleep, but even so, Zhang Yang kept figuring out the moves on the cheats in the quilt until he fell asleep.

Following!

Before dawn, Zhang Yang got up and began to practice the Mangniu boxing method, because he studied it last night, so he was quite familiar with the road.

It's just that there are some bumps in the middle, and the moves are not familiar, and he is constantly correcting them according to the appearance in his memory.

While fighting, his body was like an iron pot boiling water, and his whole body began to bubble up continuously, and at the same time, Zhang Yang faintly felt that his strength was also a little stronger, and the effect was very obvious.

In fact, it's right to think about it, whether it is learning literature or martial arts, it is the easiest at the beginning, and the effect is also the most obvious.

When it reaches a certain level of progress, it begins to ripple down, and it takes a certain amount of accumulation to make progress.

He had never practiced martial arts before, and now the first time he practiced it was naturally a rapid progress, and after he was proficient in the three moves, he was already tired and sweated like rain, and his whole body began to ache faintly.

Zhang Yang knew that today's practice should be over.

The faint pain in the body is obviously that the muscles have begun to be damaged, and if you continue to practice at this time, not only will you not get the effect of the practice, but it will aggravate the injury and form a dark disease that will drag down the cultivation.
