44. When a scar is good, the pain is forgotten
Since the bandits that threatened the village had been eliminated, the vigilance and defense work of Chen Village was naturally adjusted accordingly.
Most of the sentry posts were removed, and only an old man with a few children was allowed to go to the mountains to graze cattle and monitor the situation on the way into the village.
The time for national training has been shortened, and except for the subsidized people in Han Ge, Da Niu, and Ah Guang villages, who insist on training for two hours a day, the other young people who were originally selected by He Xiaojun only train for half an hour every day.
With the reduction of vigilance work, He Xiaojun's workload has of course been reduced a lot. In addition to taking the villagers including Brother Han and them to train for two hours every day, he also took care of his weapons and did some irregular patrols, which was his day's work.
Originally, after cleaning up the bandits who threatened the village, He Xiaojun proposed to the patriarch Uncle Tai to resign as the head of the sect, after all, without the threat of bandits, his head would be redundant.
In ancient times, people were simple, and they did not cross the river and tear down the bridge after surviving difficulties like some "bosses" in He Xiaojun's previous life.
Uncle Tai not only tried his best to retain He Xiaojun, the person who gave him honor and peace to the village, but also opened a general encyclopedia of the villagers and mobilized the whole village to retain He Xiaojun.
The harm of bandits is still vivid, and the situation of almost being wiped out is still palpitating, not to mention, the hero of the young He Jiaotou is still the idol of the villagers, especially women and children, so almost the entire village of the villagers asked He Xiaojun to stay and help them guard the village.
In the end, He Xiaojun had no choice but to retract his resignation and decided to wait until the three-month contract was completed.
Since he has more free time, He Xiaojun naturally spends this time on his own affairs.
Before he found a stable livelihood, He Xiaojun's most important thing was to work hard, practice those skills that can protect himself, and increase his life-saving coefficient in another world.
There are several skills that He Xiaojun needs to practice now, one is military skills, one is the martial arts he learned from Da Niu, and the other is the Taoist internal skill that Lang Zhong Apu gave him that he doesn't know what utility it has now.
In terms of military skills, He Xiaojun is now picking up and practicing, and he will not practice in the queue, he practices tactical movements, fighting and stabbing for an hour every day, and the use of that short gun is also his top priority at present, he has to practice for more than an hour every day.
Moreover, in order to maintain his physical fitness, He Xiaojun still insisted on his five-kilometer run in the morning and evening every day. In addition, he also added horses to this project, that is, the way of running was changed to some mountain roads to increase the difficulty of this project.
The martial arts he learned from Da Niu, He Xiaojun has now also increased his weight, practicing for about two hours a day.
As for the Taoist exercises that he didn't know what to do, He Xiaojun still practiced for an hour every day as in the past.
The reason why He Xiaojun did not give up this project that he didn't know what utility was because he knew that Taoist things have a long history and there are many essences. And the booklet that Apu gave looks a little old, and it shouldn't look like a useless thing. In addition, after practicing for so long, although he didn't feel the benefits, he didn't see anything wrong, so he believed that this exercise should have its usefulness, but he couldn't experience it before his kung fu arrived.
In this way, He Xiaojun has spent six or seven hours on his own exercise every day, plus the time he spends in the village every day leading the villagers to train and patrol, he has used up his daytime time.
He Xiaojun runs and practices like crazy every day, not only the villagers of Chen Village led by the patriarch Uncle Tai, but they don't understand what is the use of him doing this at the expense of practicing these? Even Ah Mei, who is now the closest to him, and the three sisters don't understand and persuade him not to work so hard.
In the face of these doubts, He Xiaojun didn't explain much, just found a reason to deal with a few words and continued to go his own way.
After a period of time, the villagers have become accustomed to He Xiaojun's actions, and they only regard them as people from this provincial capital, because they don't have to work hard to do farm work, so they have too much energy and are wild.
After annihilating the "Duck Gongsheng" bandits for more than half a month, the people of Chen Village saw that the days were calm, so they gradually faded the vigilance, and the original enthusiasm for the training of the villagers began to gradually dissipate.
First of all, the training of the whole people who are familiar with and understand firearms cannot be carried out because no one participates. Then there was the training of the young and strong villagers organized by He Xiaojun, and because some people slipped away every day, in the end, only Amei and Ah Lian, the two sisters who obeyed He Xiaojun's words, insisted.
Later, it was Brother Han and the main defensive force of the three villages, except for Da Niu who followed He Xiaojun closely, the other two also began to be lazy.
In this situation, He Xiaojun, as the head of the sect, was of course anxious, because this was his duty, so he went door to door to mobilize and lobby the villagers about the importance of learning these things, but the villagers' reactions were indifferent, and they mostly shirked under the pretext that the countryside was busy.
He Xiaojun, who had no choice, had no choice but to find the patriarch to come forward. After the patriarch came forward to mobilize, the villagers realized themselves for two days, and on the third day, they reverted to their old ways.
He Xiaojun looked for the patriarch again.
Who knew that the patriarch mobilized several times next, with little effect.
It seems that the villagers who have healed their scars have long forgotten the pain, completely forgotten the despair and helplessness of almost destroying the village at the beginning, and are unwilling to come to the training, so that the patriarch has no choice but to give up with a wry smile.
In fact, the patriarch also gave birth to the idea of "putting swords and guns into the warehouse, and horses in Nanshan" at this time, and of course he did not do his best to mobilize, otherwise, with the prestige of the patriarch in the village, how could his words be such a result?
At that time, the patriarch had great power in the village, to put it bluntly, he was the soil emperor of the village, as long as he gave an order, who would dare to disobey the villagers?
He Xiaojun, who was ineffective in persuasion, also knew the key to it, and in desperation, he had no choice but to be happy. However, he didn't relax on Sister Ah Mei and Ah Lian, who were still practicing with him, and pulled Ah Lan into it and let them continue to practice.
Because He Xiaojun always believes that learning these things will definitely be beneficial for a person to survive in troubled times.
Although the Amei sisters did not know the reason for He Xiaojun's behavior, out of their love for He Xiaojun, they also silently obeyed their lover's arrangement without complaint.
The matter between He Xiaojun and the three sisters of Amei was already semi-public in the village at this time, and the whole village knew about their "adultery", but the atmosphere in the village was like this, so no one whispered, but those women who threw olive branches to He Xiaojun by various means, but did not get his acceptance, in addition to jealousy, they couldn't help but secretly scolded the Amei sisters a few words of fox spirits.
Alas, the women in the village, except for Ah Mei and the three sisters, did not make He Xiaojun look at anyone.
Moreover, the education he received in his previous life made He Xiaojun unacceptable to the current irresponsible relationship between men and women, if Ah Mei and the three sisters did not take the initiative to dedicate themselves when he was drunk and uncontrollable, I believe that he would definitely not dare to accept three women at once in this strange environment.
What's more, He Xiaojun is still a responsible person, he feels that his shoulders are still "thin" and can't bear the burden of three wives and four concubines, so he has to control his lower body.
