Chapter 7: Self-improvement
Hearing this, Wang Meng was silent, and a trace of loneliness suddenly appeared on his face.
In fact, there is no need to ask this, Li Xin also knows that the other party has not found the master, after all, according to history, Wang Meng's master will have to live for several years.
"Since I lived in seclusion in Huayin, there are few people who can see through this, and Brother Li is very human! One word to break my mind! After being silent for a while, Wang Meng spoke. At this moment, in front of Li Xin, he seemed to have unloaded some burden, and the whole person was obviously a little different from before, and even this title became closer.
If in the past, Wang Meng gave Li Xin the feeling that it was unreal, or too distant to be touched, then now it feels like an immortal fell into the mortal dust, suddenly came to his face, and became the same as himself. To put it simply, it's as if the packaging has been removed and returned to its most natural state.
Of course, Li Xin himself is also pretending, how can he have the ability to see through the other party's thoughts at a glance. It's just a kind of welfare for the people of later generations, and the things of the predecessors, as long as they are recorded in history, Li Xin will naturally understand when he sees them. Now that the other party has taken off his defense, there is no need for him to hold it anymore.
"Brother Jingluo, why should you be discouraged, you are still young now, and the time is still long, you will naturally meet the master in the future! Come on, let's have tea! This tea can relieve worries and troubles! No matter what happens tomorrow today, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! Li Xin refilled the tea with the other party and enlightened.
When Wang Meng heard this, he couldn't help but show a smile, didn't speak, picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully. The two were under this big tree, chatting, drinking tea and chatting. When there was less of that layer of defense between the two, everything became much simpler, but by the time it was time for lunch, both of them had a lot of tea in their stomachs, which caused Li Xin to run to the hut a few more times.
Talking about the general trend of the world, the two found that many of their ideas coincided. Especially Wang Meng, the more he talked about it, the more surprised he was in his heart, because he suddenly found that the young man in front of him was the same as himself, and he had almost the same opinions on many things, and the joy in his heart was indescribable. After all, it's hard to find a confidant in life! The thoughts that he couldn't talk to others on weekdays finally found a good person to talk to.
After eating, they continued to talk, and it was not until it was getting late that Wang Meng said goodbye without finishing his mind. However, before leaving, he said that he would go up the mountain in a few days to sit with Li Xin and discuss the world's major affairs.
The reason why there is such a situation is not only because the things Li Xin said are basically according to what Wang Meng did in the future, but also because he, a person from more than a thousand years later, can better understand the trend of this historical development. And Wang Meng's idea reflects this trend to a certain extent, otherwise, if it is a set of backward things, it will definitely not develop.
"Now, Wang Meng and I should have a good relationship! If possible, it's best to pull him over, don't let him follow Fu Jian to mix blindly! Looking at Wang Meng's figure disappearing outside the village, Li Xinzhong muttered.
There was nothing to do that night, and after routinely telling everyone a story, Li Xin went to sleep. In the following days, he also began to get busy, mainly training himself to become stronger and more able to adapt to this era. Because of the previous battle, he realized that he had too many shortcomings.
Naturally, bows and arrows can't be put down, and in this era of cold weapons, mastering this technology is almost like a sniper. Moreover, the so-called mark of a fierce general, basically the bow and arrow are an indicator, in other words, those who can't shoot arrows are not good soldiers.
In addition, it is the use of knives and plates, the so-called plates, that is, shields, the official name of this era. You only have a shield and a bow and arrows, and you can't use a knife, after all, blindly defending and attacking from a distance doesn't seem realistic. If the enemy approaches, then he is really dead.
There may be a lot of choices in short weapons, in addition to knives, there are halberds, spears and lances, but after Li Xin passed these things, he found that they were not particularly suitable for him. So, in the end, I chose the most common knife.
The weapons of the villagers, except for some of them were made by the blacksmith master in the village, most of them were obtained from the enemy, after all, the Qin soldiers had attacked the mountain before, and each time they would lose a lot, and everyone could always pick up some. For example, the weapons in the hands of Zhou Tong and Li Erhei were the best among everyone, because they were directly snatched from the enemy during the battle, and both of them treated them as treasures.
There are many species in Huashan, so the most common method used by the villagers is to use local materials, such as bows and arrows in their hands, which are made of wood from the deep mountains and old forests. This kind of thing is not difficult for the hunters who live in the mountains, so, on the whole, the most weapons in the village are bows and arrows. After all, this weapon can kill the enemy on the battlefield, and hunting to fill the stomach when entering the mountains, which is the most popular among the people.
Li Xin's schedule was very full, and every day at dawn, he got up, and then found a quiet and unoccupied place, and began to practice all day. In the morning, I first practiced my physical strength for an hour, carrying stones and wood for cross-country travel, and then practiced bows and arrows for an hour and a half. Wait until you have a short rest before you practice your knife.
After consulting Li Erhei and Zhou Tong, he improved this knife technique according to his ideas. It is naturally impossible to train to become that kind of martial arts master, in line with the simplest idea, kill the enemy and defend yourself. Therefore, he only practiced those few movements, chopping, cutting, stabbing, and teasing, and every movement had to be practiced countless times.
This kind of intensity is slowly increasing, but even so, after a few days of practice, Li Xin's arms are already extremely heavy, and he feels as if he doesn't belong to him, and he hurts. But even so, he gritted his teeth and persevered, there was no way, after seeing the real killing, he understood the fragility of life even more, if he didn't work hard at this time, if he really went to the battlefield again, he might not be able to come back.
Li Xin's approach naturally attracted the attention of Zhou Tong and them, and they didn't take it seriously at first, everyone just laughed, thinking that he would definitely give up if he couldn't hold on for too long. But later, seeing that he persevered day by day, and there was a tendency to become more and more crazy, everyone was suddenly startled.
"Li Lang is too ruthless to himself, if he goes on like this, I'm afraid that he will soon be able to compete with you and me!" Just watched Li Xin's training, Zhou Tong said with emotion to Li Erhei on the side.
"Naturally, it's worse than us, but according to his practice method, except for the two of us, I'm afraid that no one in the village will be able to beat him soon!" Li Erhei said with a serious face.
"Speaking of which, although Li Lang's training methods are quite strange, they seem to work well, and I think that from tomorrow onwards, I will also train like him! I'm not going to let him catch up with me! Zhou Tong thought for a moment and said again.
"Hey, that's a great idea, I'll go too! By the way, it's not just the two of us, but all of our brothers are also called, train with Li Lang, save them from the hardships of letting them practice swords and guns on weekdays, and let them see what real training is! Hearing this, Li Erhei seemed to think of something, smiled and said.
The two looked at each other, as if they had found something interesting, and laughed as they walked towards the village.
So, when Li Xin went to the mountain to train the next day, he suddenly found that in the place where he was training, there were suddenly dozens of young people, and the ones standing at the front were Zhou Tong and Li Erhei!
"What are you doing here?" Li Xin was stunned for a moment and wondered.
"This, we see that you practice every day, it's very hard, no, let's let everyone come over and train with you! At the same time, the two of us think that your training method is good, after all, we can see your progress. We're going to make everyone train the way you do, what do you think!? Li Erhei stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, and then looking at the group of big-eyed young people not far away, Li Xin immediately understood what the other party meant. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Yes! However, whether they can hold on or not, I can't control this! ”
"Don't worry, if any guy dares to disobey you, see if I don't beat him to death!" Li Erhei saw that he agreed, and hurriedly said. Then, he turned around and reprimanded the young people behind him: "From today on, you will train with Li Lang, he said to go forward, you can't go back, he said to go back, if any of you dare to go forward, I will discount his legs, do you hear?" ”
"I heard you!" Seeing Erhei's fierce face, everyone present was shocked, and hurriedly agreed. However, everyone's face was wrinkled, as if they were dried bitter gourd, after all, how Li Xin trained, they could all see it.
From this day on, Li Xin's training was not alone, in the first two days, he asked everyone to completely follow his previous methods to train, and this group of young people was tossed enough. But later, he began to realize that this was a good opportunity, so he began to consciously change the training method, in addition to the most basic increase in physical fitness and practice knives and guns, he also added a queue of training.
