As December approaches, the temperature plummets, and heavy snow falls from the sky like goose feathers, spreading a thick layer of snow again in the Yingshan area.

The good news is that before the arrival of this cold wave, Zhao Yu and Xu Fen have already prepared a certain amount of firewood in the room, and there should be no problem in supporting it until the New Year.

Because there is no need to go out of the village to chop wood for the time being, Zhao Yu and the others are rarely idle, plus Zhu Wang is becoming more and more lenient with them, even if they sleep until noon, it is not a big deal, as long as they don't miss the lunch in the village - if the group of thieves in the village make a fuss because they have no food to eat, then even Zhu Wang can't protect it.

But as long as they don't make mistakes and don't be lazy, the group of thieves in the village basically won't pay attention to the gang's side.

November 28...... Probably.

When the sky was bright, Zhao Yu got up alone and walked on the snow outside the house.

It was taught to him by Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng at the beginning, and it was used to exercise the balance of the lower limbs.

When he first practiced, Zhao Yu was still in the Xianghou Mansion, with two teachers and professors Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng in front of him, and a loyal servant Cao An wiped his sweat for him, and when he was tired, Jingnu helped him pinch his shoulders and feet, but even under such conditions, Zhao Yu still didn't have much heart to practice martial arts.

But today, he wants to exercise his physique and martial arts from the bottom of his heart.

Zamabu can be called the first threshold of martial arts, the threshold that will persuade people to retreat, and people who are not strong-willed often can't hold on here, because it is really bitter and boring.

For Zhao Yu, what he lacks more is motivation, or rather, pressure.

You must know that he was born in the Luyang Zhao family, and the Luyang Zhao family had a good reputation in Luyang and Ye County, plus he made friends with Liu Jian and Mao Jue at that time, and had a good relationship with General Wang Shangde of Wancheng, and established the Luye Freemasonry, Luyang Zhao was invincible in the local area, and even the powerful Zheng family was defeated in front of the Zhao family.

In this case, how could Zhao Yu have the heart to practice martial arts hard? The power of the Luyang Zhao clan at that time was enough to ensure that his brothers could live comfortably even if they divided the family business in the future, so that the Luyang townsmen and the Zhou family would not worry about their two sons.

But now, all this has disappeared, and the only thing Zhao Yu can rely on is himself.

What, Shizune?

No, Zhao Yu never regarded Jing Nu as a help on his road to revenge, in his eyes, Jing Nu was more of a spiritual sustenance for him, so that he would not be alone, and he never expected Jing Nu to help him slash the enemy.

He wants to rely on his own hands to avenge the Luyang Township Marquis and the Zhou family, and for more than 200 people up and down the Township Marquis's Mansion.

Under this insistence, Zhao Yu decided to pick up what Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng had taught him at the beginning.

It is undeniable that the process of Zama is very hard and boring, Zhao Yu is not a tenacious will and wants to retreat several times, but every time at this time, he thinks back to the nightmare of his hometown mansion, the arrow in the chest and abdomen of his father Luyang township, the memory of his mother Zhou standing at the back door of the township mansion and gently watching them escape, the loyal servants and guards of Zhang Chun, Cao Ju, Zhang Ji and other mansions sacrificed themselves to protect them and leave, and recalled that other innocent people in the mansion were ruthlessly killed by the soldiers of Liang Chengjun.

Every time he thought of this, Zhao Yu felt hot all over his body, and there seemed to be another warm current in his heart surging to his whole body, surging to his limbs, allowing him to grit his teeth and support him.

"Ga ......"

In the adobe house next to the house, the door opened suddenly, and Jingnu rushed out of the house in a panic, until she saw Zhao Yu standing on the snow and taking a horse, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Scared me to death, brother......"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yu turned around and asked.

I saw that Jingnu closed the door of the house again, and immediately walked to Zhao Yu's side, and told the reason with palpitations.

It turned out that she had a nightmare again, and once again dreamed of Zhou, who she regarded as her mother, and when she woke up, she touched the emptiness around her, and she couldn't see where Zhao Yu went, so she was so shocked that Jingnu almost lost her soul, and hurriedly got up and went outside the house to look for it.

Listening to the Jingnu's explanation, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't alarm you." ”

Jingnu shook her head vigorously and insisted, "You must tell me next time, Shao...... Where my brother is, I will be there. ”

At Jingnu's insistence, Zhao Yu had no choice but to make a guarantee.

Seeing this, Jing Nu breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time she noticed that Zhao Yu was taking a horse step, and asked curiously: "Brother, are you practicing horse walking?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded, but didn't explain anything.

But Jingnu was not stupid, she immediately guessed the reason and said, "I'm with my brother." ”

As she spoke, she also set up a horse step beside Zhao Yu.

"Quiet?"

Because he was afraid that someone would hear it, Zhao Yu did not call Jingnu as usual.

He didn't want Jing Nu to accompany him to suffer here, but Jing Nu was very persistent in this matter, Zhao Yu persuaded Jing Nu three times to see that Jing Nu didn't listen, and seeing that there was no one left and right, he walked to Jing Nu's side, held her face with both hands, and asked in a low voice: "Disobedient?" ”

"Not ......"

Jingnu shook her head vigorously, and then whispered, "I'm just...... I just want to work with the young master to practice martial arts and slash the enemy......"

Looking at Jing Nu's expectant and pleading appearance, Zhao Yu rubbed his head and said helplessly: "Whatever you want." ”

"Hmm."

In a blink of an eye, most of the hour passed.

Xu Fen yawned and pushed the door and walked out of the house, and then saw Zhao Yu and Jing Nu standing on the snow and walking on a horse.

"Huzi, Shizuko, why don't you two sleep?"

Puzzled, Xu Fen stepped forward, glanced at the movements of Zhao Yu and Jingnu, and asked in surprise, "You two are ...... Zamabu? ”

Zhao Yu knew that Xu Fen knew some martial arts, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Brother Xu, give me some pointers, see if our standing posture is standardized?" ”

"Huh." Xu Fen smiled and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to practice martial arts, you also want to be a bandit?" ”

Because they have been together for a long time, Zhao Yu also has a certain understanding of the character of this 'Brother Xu', and when he heard this, he said in a deep voice: "The parents of my brothers were killed by wicked people, we want to practice martial arts and avenge our father and mother in the future." ”

Hearing this heavy topic, Xu Fen immediately fell silent, patted Zhao Yu's shoulder as comfort, and then chuckled and said, "I'm very strict." ”

"Just what I want."

In the following time, Xu Fen demonstrated hand-in-hand and corrected the mistakes of Zhao Yu and Jingnu in the posture of the horse step.

Although he kept saying that he was very strict, to be honest, Zhao Yu and Jingnu couldn't understand it, on the contrary, Zhao Yu felt that Xu Fen's teaching was like an elder brother's teaching to his younger brother.

"Didn't you say it's strict?" He asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fen shook his head and said, "I'm already very strict." …… It's just that you two are also very strict with yourself, so you can't feel it. ”

Zhao Yu suddenly realized.

Near noon, Deng Bai, Deng Song and Ning Niang got up one after another, and saw Xu Fen teaching Zhao Yu and Jing Nu martial arts outside the house, and they all surrounded them curiously.

Deng Bai and Deng Song brothers had followed Xu Fen to practice martial arts earlier, and seeing that Zhao Yu and Jingnu were still at the level of Zamabu, they were smug and pointed at the side, and then they were sent by Xu Fen to the pigsty and chicken coop in the village to feed, only Ning Niang held her face and squatted beside Zhao Yu and Jingnu to watch them.

Not long after, Zhu Wang also yawned and walked out of the house, and saw that Zhao Yu and Jingnu were practicing martial arts under Xu Fen's teaching, he laughed and said: "Huzi, what's the matter, you also plan to learn from Xu Fen and become a bandit?" ”

Zhao Yu motioned to Xu Fenmo with his eyes to reveal the truth, and responded with a smile: "Yes, uncle, I will help you grab some good wine to honor you in the future, okay?" ”

"Hahaha." Zhu Wang laughed: "Okay, then I'll wait." …… By the way, don't forget to cook rice. ”

After giving the instructions, he carried a copper kettle and walked into the house where rice grain and wine were stacked in the village, probably ready to steal wine and drink again.

In the following month, Zhao Yu and Jingnu got up around midnight every day and came outside the house to practice martial arts.

In the absence of Zhao Yu's active request, Xu Fen got up with them every day and taught the two of them martial arts.

From Zama step, to using the strength of his waist to exert force, to how to hold the weapon, Xu Fen taught Zhao Yu and Jingnu the most basic things hand in hand.

The latter are all things that Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng didn't have time to teach Zhao Yu at the beginning.

Of course, this does not mean that Xu Fen's martial arts are better than Zhang Ji or Ma Cheng, he has seen Xu Fen use firewood as a weapon to wave a set of moves at will, and there is obviously a big gap between Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng, but if it is placed in this thief's den, Zhao Yu thinks that Xu Fen is enough to be a thief.

At this time, he suddenly realized, why was Zhu Wang jealous when he was provoked by the Deng brothers a while ago and injured Xu Fen's head in a fit of anger? The reason for this is probably that Zhu Wang knows Xu Fen's ability, and he is afraid that he will resist.

Out of curiosity in his heart, Zhao Yu asked Xu Fendao: "Brother Xu, in fact, you can beat Zhu Wang, right?" ”

Xu Fen glanced at Zhao Yu and said casually: "So what? There are rules in the village. ”

What he meant was obviously acquiescence.

It is worth mentioning that during the period when Zhao Yu and Jingnu followed Xu Fen to practice martial arts, there were also bandits in the village who saw it.

Different from the general imagination, most of these thieves will not take it seriously, only some idle people will come forward to tease Zhao Yu and a few people, and tell Zhao Yu and others to practice their skills well, and wait for the future to go down the mountain to do business together.

Whenever he said this, the rest of the thieves laughed and went about their own business.

Just like what Deng Bai said when he warned Zhao Yu at the beginning, as long as the gang of thieves in the village is not drunk or provoked, they are usually not difficult to get along with, at least they will not be ruthless to Zhao Yu and Xu Fen for no reason, after all, they are also their own people in the village, who injured and killed the group of boys in the house, who cut firewood, cooked, washed, and fed pigs for them?

As he came and went, Zhao Yu became more and more aware of the situation in this thief village.

In fact, at this time, he already wanted to start his own plan to reclaim the entire camp, but after careful consideration, he was ready to postpone it.

Because his age is too conspicuous, if he behaves too eye-catchingly, it is difficult not to think of the 'second son' of the Luyang Zhao family, which has suffered a tragedy, so it attracted the pursuit of the Liang Cheng army.

Therefore, Zhao Yu decided to lurk for a while longer, wait for Luyang, Yexian, and Kunyang to completely forget about Luyang Zhao, and then start his plan.

In addition to that, there was one person who made him a little concerned.

That is the second master of this camp, Chen Mo......
