Guo Bin was assigned, everyone had a task, and they went back to their rooms with great enthusiasm.

Tong Yuan stopped Guo Bin and Zhao Yun, and waited for everyone to leave, before he said to Guo Bin: "I have been in Zhuangzhong for more than two months, and the ten shots of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Marksmanship have been passed on to you." Looking at your actions in the past two months, you are quite disciplined, and your heart is also pure, and you are exactly the one in my generation. You and Yun'er are brothers first, and then the name of master and servant, I am very relieved. ”

As he spoke, he said to Zhao Yun: "I know that you are acting safely and do not need to be instructed." In the future, you will do your best to assist Bin'er, one is to protect the people, and the other is to win a fame, and what you have learned is not in vain. ”

Hearing this, the two knew that Tong Yuan was leaving, but they saw Zhao Yun clenching his fists tightly, his body trembling, pursing the corners of his mouth, his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't say a word. Guo Bin got up in shock, knelt on the ground, and said, "Master, why is this?" If there is anything unsatisfactory, just talk to the disciple about why, why, why...", but I can't go on here.

Tong Yuan looked at Guo Bin who was kneeling on the ground and Zhao Yun who was speechless, and he was moved in his heart, but he said: "Although the gathering of you and my master and apprentice is short, it is quite impressive. In the past two months, I have seen you take in the homeless people and make soap, although there are occasional cunning, but there is a piece of benevolence in your heart. After a pause, he said: "However, it is difficult for the teacher to live in the mountains for a long time, and it is difficult to stay for more than two months today." As a teacher, I am reckless, and I am not used to fame and fortune. As long as you remember a piece of benevolence, what is the difference between being in the rivers and lakes and being in the government and the opposition. I am traveling this time for an old friend, and I will come back at the right time when I have finished taking care of things for my teacher. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the gourd that was already full of grape wine on the side, hung it around his waist, and floated out of the house. The two of them hurriedly went out of the house to look, but they heard Tong Yuan's voice coming: "I have a letter to your senior brother under my pillow, you go and get it yourself..." Guo Bin was stunned when he saw Tong Yuan's body method so fast, and at this moment he realized that this white-bearded old man who had been smiling all day long was so unfathomable.

The two bowed three times in the direction where Tong Yuan disappeared before they came to Tong Yuan's usual resting room.

Guo Bin took the pillow away, and saw a rectangular object wrapped in black linen, with a letter on it, which read: "Yun'er Bin'er read it together." ”

At that moment, Guo Bin unfolded the letter and looked at it with Zhao Yun.

"For the sake of the teacher, taking Yun'er south this time, there is really a matter that must be concluded. met Bin Er, accepted as an apprentice, and came to watch Bin Er act in two months, although he was still young, he was quite lawful; The bottom of my heart is pure, and I am really a member of my generation. Today is about to travel far away, so the secret martial arts book of this door into a booklet, which can be used in the battle of the rivers and lakes, the battle array, and the retreat can also cultivate self-cultivation and prolong life, I hope that your brother and sister will study together. ”

The two of them opened the package under the letter, and sure enough, it was a thin booklet, looked at each other, and continued to read the letter.

"Yun'er has learned everything for the battle array, I am afraid that he will learn a martial art and be buried in the rivers and lakes. However, now Bin'er has a lot of trips to save the world and help the people in the cottage, and Yun'er can assist Bin'er with peace of mind. One can live up to what he has learned and taught for many years, and the other can fight for a fame and shine for our door. In this paragraph, I only saw tears rolling down Zhao Yun's eyes, and I was even more moved when I saw the master thinking about his future before leaving.

"The two of you are acting safely, and you are very relieved to be a teacher. When the teacher is done, he will turn around at the right time. You two must love each other, remember. Leave a word for the teacher and child. ”

After reading a short letter, the two of them were speechless, and they waited for a while before they remembered the booklet, so they opened the booklet and looked at it together.

I saw that it was written: "This inner family practice has been passed on to the ancestor Yu Zhenzi, which contains the Taoist method of walking and breathing, and I have relied on it with the ancestor for decades." What you both learn is foreign kung fu, which may be no obstacle to physical fitness, but it is not the right way to learn martial arts. You two brothers have been following me for a short time, and you have never learned this exercise. I wanted to pass it on to Yun'er on the way south, but when it happened to Bin'er, I delayed it. Now that it is recorded in a book, your brother and sister can study together, and in the future, when you walk the rivers and lakes, you will have a place to use on the battlefield. "If you look closely, you will be able to breathe and breathe and practice the Dharma Method. Since then, Guo Bin and Zhao Yun have not mentioned the exercises contained in the book.

After reading the letter, the two handed the booklet to Zhao Yun and put it away, and saw that the time was not early, so they settled it separately.

The next morning, after finishing their morning runs, everyone went about their own business.

Xi Zhicai took Guo Jia and Guo Quan, and a group of young people went down the mountain first. The three of them first went back to Guojiazhuang and told Guo Yong about everyone's plans, although Guo Yong is not a person with high intelligence, he can be the head of any clan, but he has his own knowledge, and things must go well. Then Xi Zhi will take everyone to Yangzhai County, first visit Liu County, and offer grapes and wine and a batch of mountain furs. Later, I went to the city to find a good shop and prepare to open a restaurant.

Guo Bin and Guan Hai found Yang Lao and told him what they discussed yesterday, and Yang Lao patted his chest and agreed. After a brief tidying up, he went down the mountain under Guan Hai and a group of young guards.

Guo Bin saw that everyone had gone, so he took Zhao Yun and Ma Lao to the outside of the village, pointed and said: "Ma Lao, the cottage will be expanded, the wall of the village will be heightened, and a mountain road to Guojiazhuang will be opened in the future. Ma Lao said: "The two grandchildren of the little old man have been blessed by the lord for their lives, and they should obey the orders of the lord." ”

Guo Bin was not polite, and said: "I see, the wall should be repaired to the river, and it is not necessary to build it too high at first, but it should be built with mountain stones." Guo Bin had already thought that he would use the soil method to make cement and then burn bricks to build the wall. The walls thus built are not only strong, but can also be heightened when needed. In addition, this cement and masonry are also necessary resources to build walls and defend themselves in troubled times. He had already looked forward to hunting, and there was a limestone lot in the nearby mountains.

Coming to the river at the foot of the mountain, on the flat ground downwind of the cottage, Guo Bin turned around and said: "Ma Lao, a vacant land is planned here, and I want to use it to burn bricks." Ma Lao didn't know what burning bricks was, but when he heard Guo Bin say this, he bowed his head. But Zhao Yun on the side was puzzled: "Dare to ask the lord, what is burning bricks?" ”

Guo Bin explains: "Masonry is not afraid of fire and is hard to break, so it is most suitable for building walls and houses. The Central Plains soil is more rocky and less, and it is not easy to mine and transport stones, so the art of plate building is prevalent. Although the plate building is hard and does not lose stones, it consumes man-hours and manpower, and poor families do not use it. Poor homes are mostly mixed with mud and grass clippings to build squares, and then used for construction after drying. It is a thatched hut built into a wall, with horizontal logs as beams and thatched grass. It's just that this method is simple and simple, but it is not very strong, and a single heavy rain can easily cause walls to collapse and houses collapse. ”

Seeing that Ma Lao couldn't stop nodding, Guo Bin continued: "I once saw people firing pottery, so I thought that if the adobe blocks were fired into pottery, wouldn't it be cheaper? And it is not afraid of rain, and it is stronger than adobe blocks, and it must be a good livelihood. The eyes of the two of them who said bluntly were shining, and Ma Lao was so old that he was happy to pull his beard.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Guo Bin smiled secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Don't be happy too early, it's a matter of whether this method works or not." Ma Lao hurriedly said: "Lord, this is a good way, how can it not work?" ”

"The problem is that there are no objects to glue. Then he explained: "The plate building is compacted layer by layer, and there is no need for gluing; The adobe blocks are large and heavy, and they can be cemented very firmly with mud. If you just burn bricks, you can't make it too big, otherwise it will be inconvenient for transportation and use, but if you do it too small, the mud will be difficult to bond. That's where the difficulty lies. ”

Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Guo Bin didn't tease them anymore, so he said: "I have a law in my heart, but it has not been verified yet, so it is inconvenient to know." I'll find out later. ”

They came again to a limestone lot, which seemed to be a small amount, but it was enough for a while. Then he said to Ma Lao: "This place also needs to be fenced off." Everyone was puzzled, so they could only promise to say yes. Zhao Yun saw that Guo Bin looked like he was waiting for him to ask, so he couldn't help but ask, and suffocated Guo's classmates.

Or Ma Lao asked: "My lord, this place is full of stones, and you can't grow crops or burn bricks, why should you fence it up?" ”

Guo Bin said: "This is the solution to the adhesive that Fang just said. When Ma Lao asked again, Guo Bin replied with the appearance of an old god, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Returning to the open space outside the cottage, Guo Bin said to Ma Lao: "On the side of the school field here, next to the wall, build a school, well, four or five rooms are enough, but the house needs to be built a little bigger." When it was finished, I gathered the people under the age of fifteen, and I taught them to read and write, and to learn arithmetic and bookkeeping during the day. ”

Hearing this, Ma Lao hurriedly knelt down and said gratefully: "My lord... The Lord not only sheltered us and provided us with food and clothing, but also educated our offspring on our behalf. I'm waiting... We are not enough to repay the Lord's kindness. ”

Guo Bin sweats secretly, but his subordinates are not slow. Hurriedly helped Ma Lao and said: "Ma Lao doesn't have to be like this, since I promised to take care of everyone, I will treat each other as a family." Seeing that there were more and more people around, he said loudly: "Since you can afford me Guo, Guo Bin naturally has to go all out." You and I are brothers and sisters, your parents are my parents, and your children are my children. But if you teach me that Guo Bin has a bite to eat, you can't starve everyone. ”

Everyone was moved when they heard this, and Ma Lao took the lead, so he knelt down together and said, "The lord is merciful." Some people felt sorry for themselves and even cried.

Guo Bin saw that the scene was a bit big, so he hurriedly helped Ma Lao up and told everyone to get up. He dragged Zhao Yun into the wilderness and fled.
