Chapter 1 Ma Teng is happy
In February of the first year of Jianning, in a house in Fufeng Maoling, a young man frowned, wandering anxiously in the yard, muttering as he walked, "Haven't you been born yet, why is it so slow." ”
The Han is about 20 years old, more than eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, a male face and nose, and looks a bit like the Qiang people in other races.
This person's name is Ma Teng, the word Shoucheng, is a native of Fufeng Maoling. He is a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately the Ma family is not as good as a generation after that, except for their ancestor.
In Ma Teng's father's generation, although he also served as the county lieutenant of Tianshui Langan for a few days, he was dismissed at the end of the year. After his father lost his position, he stayed in Longxi and lived with the local Qiang people.
The poor had no money to marry a wife, so he had to marry a local Qiang woman as a wife, which is also what Ma Teng looks like a Qiang person, because his mother was originally a Qiang person, and he has half Qiang blood.
Later, Maarten's mother died of illness when he was a teenager, and his father died shortly after his mother's death.
Before dying, his father called Ma Teng to the side of the couch and said to him in a weak voice: "Teng'er, I can't do it for my father." Think what a hero my ancestor of the Ma family is, 'A man should die in the border field, and return with a horse leather shroud', what a heroic statement! It's a pity that the descendants of my Ma family have fallen so far, what face do I have to see my ancestors! As he spoke, Father Ma couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Father, you can't be entirely blamed for this!"
"No, Teng'er, I am a sinner of the Ma family, I have no shame to see the ancestors, and I am ashamed of the ancestors of my Ma family! But I don't have a chance to do anything anymore, I can only leave it to you, you have to promise to be a father, and you must reproduce the former glory of my Ma family! ”
"Father, I promise. Will definitely try my best to do it! ”
"Well, Father trusts you to succeed. There is a box over there, which contains the things left by the ancestors, and now it has been passed on to you, Teng'er, you have to be yourself......" Before the last word was finished, Father Ma swallowed.
"Father, father, father!" Although he has been prepared, Ma Teng is still very sad in the face of his father's departure. After kneeling and kowtowing to his father three times, he stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to his father as if to himself: "I will definitely regain the glory of my Ma family!" ”
After Ma Teng prepared for his father's funeral, although Ma's father thought that there was no shame to see the ancestors, but as a son, he still had to bury his father in his hometown, as the saying goes, "the tree is a thousand feet high, and the leaves fall back to the roots", which is the truth.
Ma Teng sold all the things that could be sold at home, bought a coffin containing his father's body, and pulled it back to his hometown in Fufeng Maoling.
After burying his father, Ma Teng bought a house with the only money on his body, although the house is not big, but there is finally a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which is already very good for a bachelor like Ma Teng.
I didn't bring anything from Longxi, no, there is still something, that is, the box left by the ancestor Ma Yuan. Even if this thing is so depressed that he asks for food on the street in the future, Ma Teng will not dare or sell it.
When he moved the box back to his hometown, Ma Teng didn't think what the box was. When it was time to move, he realized that he was very wrong.
The box looked inconspicuous and dilapidated, but Ma Teng used the strength of milk to move the box to the car. He estimated that the box and the contents would cost at least more than 400 catties.
Indeed, in fact, the box weighs about 470 pounds, that is, Ma Teng, and ordinary people can't move it at all. It takes a lot of effort for ordinary people to lift more than 100 catties, let alone nearly 500 catties.
Ma Teng has lived in Longxi since he was a child, where Han and Qiang live together, and next to the territory of the Qiang people, so the people are fierce.
The Qiang people are still martial, it can be said that almost every family in the local area has weapons, the Qiang people needless to say, and the Han people have to have it, after all, the place is not peaceful, and if you want to live there well and will not be martial, it can only be stabbed by others. …,
Ma Teng grew up learning martial arts with the Qiang people since he was a child, his mother is a Qiang people, and he also has half Qiang blood, so learning martial arts is nothing at all.
And he has had a strong interest in martial arts since he was a child, and he studies and practices hard every day.
Although his talent is limited, but fortunately, diligence can make up for his clumsiness, Ma Teng's martial arts, whether it is immediately or stepping, are much stronger than the ordinary three-legged cat kung fu, how can he have a second-rate military general's level by today's standards.
Two arms can lift five hundred catties, which is already very strong, after all, people with natural divine power are a minority, and perverts like the overlord Xiang Yu only exist in legends.
Ma Teng moved the box back into the house, trying to open it to see what was inside. But on closer inspection, the box is locked.
He thought: My father didn't give me the key to unlock the lock, it seems that maybe the ancestors of which generation lost it, and the future heirs never opened it again, so that the lock was rusty. If you want to open the lock, you can only destroy it.
After thinking about it, he used his hand to break the lock, only to hear a click, the lock broke in response, and Ma Teng hurriedly looked into the box.
What caught my eye was a box full of things, and there was a pile of bamboo slips on the left, and when I looked at it, there were six rolls in total.
In the middle was something wrapped in red cloth, and on the right there was something wrapped in cloth, and there was something black like a stone.
There was also a letter on the red cloth in the middle, but it was not a paper letter, but a silk book. Ma Teng picked up the silk book and unfolded it, only to see that it was written:
There are two favorite things in my life, one of which is the drum urn and golden hammer in my hand, weighing 320 pounds. With this hammer, I will be the heroes of the world, and there will be few opponents.
The second is the thin armor of fish scales and purple gold worn on the body, weighing about 30 catties, and on the battlefield, he has resisted countless blades for me.
Now these two things are passed on to my descendants, hammers, who are not born with divine power and love hammers, cannot use them. If no one in my descendants can use this hammer, I hope they will find someone who is destined to pass it on, and only those who have good character and love the country and the people can do it.
At that time, I can be given a volume of the hammer method I made for learning. There is a total of one volume of hammer method and five volumes of military books in the box. The hammer method is my own one hundred single eight-way drum hammer method, this hammer method is universal to the world's hammer, not only a drum hammer also.
The book of soldiers is my life through the experience of 300 and dozens of battles, I hope that future generations can understand after learning, and open up territory for the Han Dynasty.
Those with thin armor can be worn by my descendants, and they can be protected on the battlefield. In addition, in my later years, I occasionally got a piece of meteorite outside the sky, weighing about 120 catties, but unfortunately there is no one to melt it in contemporary times, so I can only send it to future generations.
The boy should die in the border field, and bury his ears with a horse leather shroud! I hope that my descendants will encourage it! The last to be paid is horse aid.
After reading the ancestor's silk book, Ma Teng was a little enthusiastic. This can't be blamed on him, in the era at that time, no matter who thought that if he could expand the territory, it was estimated that he would have the same enthusiasm as Ma Teng, not to mention that he was a young man and a hot-blooded man.
It's a pity that this thing is just thinking about it, now Ma Teng can't even eat, how can he think about it anymore, he didn't wait to expand the territory, he starved himself to death first, so he didn't think about it much, he just thought about doing something, so as to make a living, the taste of not having food was really uncomfortable.
He began to go to the nearby mountains to chop firewood for a living, and then sell it to the nearby market, barely making ends meet, and so on day after day.
Until one day he rescued a woman who was besieged by wolves on the mountain, but fortunately there were not many wolves at the time, and he ran very fast, otherwise they might not have come back. But just like that, Ma Teng was still a little injured, and the woman bandaged him when she saw that her benefactor was injured.
After Ma Teng's injuries healed, the rescued woman still often visited him at his house. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty did not have many restrictions on women like the Song and Ming dynasties, there were no women like this. It can be seen that this woman's boldness can have a fight with modern people. …,
went back and forth like this, and the two sparked a spark of love, and after the woman's parents knew about it, they were very opposed to them being together.
The woman's surname is Liu, her name is Liu Yuan, she is twenty-eight years old, that is, sixteen years old. Although the Maoling Liu family is not a big family, it is also a well-known family in the local area, how could it be possible to marry a baby daughter to a poor boy who has nothing.
But Liu Yuan has to marry alive and dead, and she cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself at home, and she really can't help but force her mother to do it, so she has to agree to this family business.
Her mother agreed, and her father said nothing. Her father was a well-known strict wife, and her mother's words were better than holy decrees.
In desperation, he had to marry his daughter out of the country, and the bride price was confiscated, but he lost a lot of dowry. Her father was distressed for several days, and he never gave Ma Teng a good face.
The days passed day by day, and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye. In February of the second year of Jianning, Ma Teng's wife Liu was about to give birth. Ma Teng is exactly 20 years old this year, and his wife Liu is 17 years old.
Being a father for the first time, Ma Teng seemed very nervous and anxious, because only the voice of his wife came from the delivery room, but there was no sound of the child. Just as he was wandering anxiously, the sky that had been clear just now suddenly became cloudy, and something seemed to be brewing in the dark sky.
I saw a lightning bolt in the sky, straight to the delivery room, after a loud bang, the roof of the delivery room was split a big hole, Ma Teng just wanted to rush into the delivery room, only to hear a loud baby cry from the delivery room.
At the same time, an old voice sounded behind him, "A vision fell from the sky, and sure enough." Congratulations to Delin'er, your Ma family has a queen! ”
Ma Teng was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, because when he turned his head to look at the person just now, someone came from the door talking. And the door was more than a dozen steps away from where Ma Teng was standing, and the person who came had just finished talking about the vision from the sky, and when he finished saying the elephant word, he was already beside him. But Ma Teng didn't see how this person came here at all, as if he walked a dozen steps, wouldn't it be terrible.
I saw that the crane had a childish face, fairy wind and bones, and I couldn't tell my age from my face at all. Ma Teng hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The old man is invited, I want to visit my wife and children first, and please forgive me if you are negligent." ”
"Well said, well said. Since you're here, let's go together, please. The man said.
Ma Teng was very unhappy in his heart, is it your son or my son. How can you say it like I went to your house to see your son, although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, because he knew that the old man next to him was by no means a good stubble, unfathomable, and it was best not to provoke.
"That's what I mean, the old man pleases first." With that, Ma Teng walked towards the delivery room with the comer.
As I was walking to the door, it happened that the midwife and the stable woman came out of the delivery room. Seeing Ma Teng, he hurriedly congratulated him, "Congratulations to Master Ma, it's a little young master, mother and son are safe!" ”
"Okay, come on, take the two mothers-in-law down to rest, reward. By the way, someone will repair the roof quickly! ”
Now Ma Teng is not the poor boy before, now he is quite wealthy, after all, his wife's mother is also a landlord in Maoling, and he can give Ma Teng dozens of acres of land, which is enough for them to spend, and even the current mansion is the dowry of his mother's family.
When I entered the house, I saw my wife lying on the couch patting the newborn child. Walking to the couch, Ma Teng took his wife's hand, "Yuan'er, thank you for your hard work, you are the hero of my Ma family." ”
"It's not hard." Then his wife Liu picked up the child and said, "Shoucheng, you see how much our son looks like you, this eyebrow, and this nose." ”
"But I think he's more like his mother, so much better looking than me."
"It's better looking than you, and it's my son. I don't know how many girls I'm going to provoke when I grow up. ”…,
"Of course, the more the merrier." Ma Teng said with a smile
"You, why don't you teach your son to learn well, how can you be a father like this."
"It's not like that, in fact, this is also for the prosperity of our Ma family."
"You haven't named your child yet."
The sudden sound startled the couple, Ma Teng was fine, but his wife Liu was taken aback. She didn't know how this old man appeared, who brought it. Liu asked blankly: "Shoucheng, this is ......?"
"He's, this, he's ......" Ma Tengxin said, I don't know who this old man is, he came by himself, I don't know.
"Old man Nanhua." The person who came said something, and then left them alone, just staring at the child.
"The name of the child has been thought of a long time ago, I hope that our son can achieve great things and surpass all his ancestors, so I will call him Ma Chao." Ma Teng looked at the child and said with a smile.
Maybe no one noticed that Ma Chao's current expression was actually wide-eyed, with a surprised expression. If you want to say that Ma Chao is like this, of course, there is a reason.
If you are a college student who has just graduated from the later generations, and it rains heavily when you go out to look for a job, and you hide under a big tree to take shelter from the rain, and it happens that a lightning bolt happens to fall on you, and you happen to be split through, and you happen to travel to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it happens that the character you are reborn into is your favorite and happens to have the same name and surname as you Ma Chao, what will your expression be?
The plot requires that Ma Chao was born eight years earlier than in history. Personal novels, fictional components are indispensable, everyone understands. What Nanhua has done, you can guess.
