In the next few days, the He family was very busy, and He Zhiyuan was even more busy. He only goes to math class for one hour in the afternoon every day, and throws the rest of the classes to Zhou Fuliu.

First of all, He Zhiyuan and his father went to Juzhou City once to find Zhou Xuhai, who had been in the city, and discussed with Zhou Xuhai a series of things such as the name of the new workshop, the brand of soap and the recruitment of nursing homes.

He Zhide also took Zhuang Ding to supervise the work in the new workshop and make final preparations for the upcoming opening. Ho's younger brother, Ho Chi-tak, Ho Chi-ko, is on the construction site of his new house every day, where hundreds of hired workers are working.

Xu Tangyi and Da Xu Ziye took dozens of hired workers to cut down a vacant land 50 zhang long from north to south and 25 zhang wide from east to west in the woods next to the soap workshop in the west of the village as a training ground for family members. At the same time, they discussed with the owner of the forest and bought the felled trees. Rows of simple sheds were erected on the side of this open space, which served as a place for cooking and dining for workshop workers and family members.

Ge Yuliang and more than 2,000 people at the reservoir construction site are even more busy, and the stone slope in the dam has been basically completed, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another ten and a half days, more than ten days ahead of the original construction period. The whole small village is bustling and thriving.

"Old Five, have you heard? The He family began to recruit family members. On the reservoir construction site, Zhu Dami said to Liu Lao Wu next to him.

"It's not posted on the shed on the construction site, I've heard about it for a long time. People want people who know martial arts, and it's best to have a military background. A dealer like me is not qualified. ”

"I heard that it was three or two months of silver. It's a pity that I'm not qualified. ”

"How many people in this country village know martial arts. If I know how to do three tricks and two styles, I will try it, and if I can be selected, the livelihood of the family will be settled. ”

The discussion between the two of them was heard by Jiang Yuanqing, who was working on the side, so he went over and asked Zhu Dami: "Rice, who is really recruiting a family, with three taels of silver a month?" ”

"It's still fake, the notice is posted over there."

"So how do I sign up?" Jiang Yuanqing suddenly became happy.

"The notice said that just find Ge Yuliang, who is in charge of the construction site, and ask him to write down his name, saying that he should concentrate on the interview."

After Jiang Yuanqing heard this, he threw down his tools and excitedly ran to the shed to find Ge Yuliang.

"Yuanqing, this kid has eaten bee feces, and he is happy to be like this, is he qualified? I haven't heard he knows martial arts. Which village? Rice asked Lao Wu

"I don't know, I don't talk when I work every day."

In the evening, Majiayuzi Village.

Ma Wu returned home from the construction site in Hejia Village, and said to his father while eating: "Dad, Hejia Zhaoding in Hejia Village, I want to try." Three taels of silver a month. ”

"Three taels of silver? Who do you listen to? Didn't coax you? I heard that the county's catch is only a tael of silver a month. "My father didn't believe there was such a good thing.

"Notices have been posted on the construction site, is this still fake?"

"No, this thing is mysterious, so there is such a good thing for our family to catch up. Let's wait and see. "My father didn't believe it. He has lived for most of his life, and he has never heard of a large family recruiting a caretaker to pay three taels of silver a month.

"Dad, let me try it. It's better than guarding two acres of thin land at home and hunting in the mountains every day. Three taels of silver, we can't earn that much in a year. If you can't try it and come back, what are you worried about? The five sons are twenty-two years old, and they don't have a daughter-in-law, so they can't stay at home for the rest of their lives. ”

At noon, in the shed of the leveled open space on the side of the official road in the village, a few tables were erected, and Xu Tangyi, Da Xu Zi and his son, as well as He Shaoyun and He Zhiyuan and his son sat at the table. On the other side of the shed, there are various weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the weapon rack. In the open space outside the shed, thirty or forty men stood in twos and threes.

He Zhiyuan looked at these people who signed up and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Originally, he planned to recruit fifty family members, but now there are only thirty or forty people who have signed up, and even if they all are accepted, it will not be enough. Besides, the Zhou family also has to recruit fifty, adding up to a total of one hundred, and they will be trained together. He thought that the ancient people were martial arts, and there were many people who could know three punches and two feet, but only a few people came.

It's really ideal and plump, and the reality is very skinny. It's like when I write a novel, after uploading it, I imagine that there will be a lot of readers, and I can receive a lot of collections and tickets, but the result is so pitiful that I almost collapsed to the point of vomiting blood.

However, no matter how little comes, what needs to be done must be carried out. At this time, He Shaoyun stood up and said, "Everyone line up and come one by one." ”

"What's your name?" He Shaoyun began to ask the man at the front.

"Poplar roots."

"What kind of martial arts do you know?"

"I know how to play with knives."

At this time, Da Xu Zi handed over a knife and said, "Then you can play it." ”

The man took the knife and played. Xu Tangyi looked at it and couldn't stop nodding. Said: "Okay, you passed." ”

Then, he went to He Zhiyuan and got a small wooden plaque, recording his name, age, village name, specialty and other information. After recording this, He Zhiyuan said to him: "Yang Shugen, early in the morning two days later, take this small wooden sign and report here with simple clothes." ”

After hearing this, Yang Shugen happily took the small wooden sign and left.

In second place was Jiang Yuanqing, and after Yang Shugen was retained, he also increased his confidence. Take a step forward and wait for the question. Xu Tangyi saw that this man was more than six feet tall, about twenty years old, with flat and broad shoulders, long legs and thin waist, and two eyes. He Shaoyun asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Jiang Yuanqing."

"Then tell me about your age, your village, and what kind of martial arts you know."

"I'm twenty-one this year, and I'm from Xiahe Village. My family used to be a military household, and I fled from Chengshanwei to Xiahe Village more than ten years ago. My father used to be an archer, and I learned archery from my father since I was a child, and I could shoot the bull's-eye within 100 steps. ”

Xu Tangyi heard that his family was a fugitive military household, and he suddenly narrowed the distance emotionally. But he didn't show it on his face, but said to Da Xuzi: "Give him a bow and a pot of arrows, and let him try." ”

Jiang Yuanqing took the bow pot, hung the arrow pot on his waist, turned around and took two steps forward, and then aimed at the arrow target in the distance, opened the bow and set up the arrow, "swish" three arrows, the arrows all hit the bull's-eye, which caused everyone to applaud. Then he turned forward and handed the bow pot to Da Xu Zi, who was calm and calm without a red heart or a beat.

Xu Tangyi and He Shao glanced at each other, and their eyes showed appreciation. Xu Tangyi said: "A good tiger general, it's a pity not to be a soldier." Go over there and get the sign. ”

After Jiang Yuanqing heard this, he thanked him and left happily.

In this way, at noon, more than 20 interviews were conducted, and more than half of them passed. After lunch, I had an interview in the afternoon. There were still more than a dozen people in the team at this time. Ma Wu is the first, he has never had confidence, others know martial arts or weapons, but he doesn't know anything. Ma Wu stood forward, worried in his heart, and showed an unconfident expression on his face.

He Shaoyun and Xu Tangyi looked at this man, about twenty years old, less than six feet tall, only five feet seven or eight, thin and thin, with a dark face, but his eyes were bright. So He Shaoyun asked, "Tell me about your situation." ”

Ma Wu learned from the people in front of him and said, "My name is Ma Wu, and I am twenty-two this year. My home is Majiayuzi Village, and my family has been a hunter since my grandfather's generation, and my ancestors hunted in the mountains. ”

"Then what kind of martial arts do you know?"

"I ...... I'll run. Ma Wu said in a slurch.

When everyone heard this, they laughed, and one of the men with an obscene face said: "Ma Wu, this can run is also considered martial arts?" Is it a thief, you just run away? Hahaha......"

"Niu Erdan, what nonsense are you talking about, who is the thief and ran away? I mean, I run fast, hunting in the mountains, going over mountains and mountains, just like on flat ground, and I can run and chase the people until they vomit blood. If you don't believe us, let's compare. ”

"It's better than that, but it's not faster than thieves, it's better than fighting, it's better than fighting." The somewhat obscene-looking Niu Erdan has practiced by himself for two years, and he is half a head taller than Ma Wu, and his body is also strong, but he is full of confidence.

Ma Wu was irritated by him, and his mind was hot, so he blurted out: "Fight and fight!" ”

Immediately afterwards, more than 20 people in the venue formed a circle, and the two people stood opposite each other, and the competition began.

He Shaoyun was about to step forward to stop him, but Xu Tangyi said: "Just let them compare, this is a common thing in the army." Then, Xu Tangyi stepped forward and said: "It's okay to try to fight, but you are not allowed to use weapons, and you are not allowed to use yin moves." ”

Xu Tangyi's voice fell, Niu Erdan was a hungry tiger and pounced, and he slammed his right fist and hit Ma Wu head-on. Seeing that Ma Wu couldn't dodge, he was going to suffer. But when it was too late, I saw that Ma Wu's left leg did not move, his right leg kicked, and his upper body twisted clockwise to the left, and in an instant, the two people were side by side. At the same time, Ma Wuchu grabbed Niu Erdan's right wrist with his left hand, raised his foot with his left leg and pinned Niu Erdan's right leg, and then released Niu Erdan's right wrist with his left hand, and his right hand patted Niu Erdan's back gently, and Niu Erdan lay on the ground after eating. The speed was so fast that no one else could see it, and Niu Erdan was already lying on the ground.

When everyone saw this, they immediately applauded. At this time, Niu Erdan's face was flushed with shame, and after he got up, he tightened his belt, and pounced on Ma Wu with open arms to hug Ma Wu's waist. Ma Wu knew that he was small, and if he was hugged, he would definitely suffer the loss. He squatted down violently, Niu Erdan pounced, and then Ma Wu took a step forward to the right, went around to Niu Erdan's back, turned around and pushed Niu Erdan's back with both hands, and Niu Erdan was a dog eating again and crawled on the ground.

Everyone applauded again, this time Niu Erdan's face couldn't hold back, and he suddenly became angry. Got up, ran to the weapon rack, pulled out a steel knife from the rack, with a hideous face and fierce eyes, raised the steel knife, and pounced on it to fight hard.

Ma Wu was stunned by Niu Erdan's fierce appearance, and his reaction was a little slower, and he saw that the steel knife with a cold light was in front of him......
