Chapter 6: Friends

A few days before New Year's Day, the lockdown was finally lifted. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info She was overjoyed. With the new toy "******", she can't wait to show off this unique thing to her friends. After all, she has always been the only one who envies her peers for being able to play this and that, and no one else envies her for being able to play this and that. This is very unfair in the eyes of the bell. She has always wanted to correct such injustices.

Because Li Sheng promised Mrs. Li that he would take good care of Zhong'er, Deng'er went out to find her partner this time and got her mother's approval. With Li Sheng's company, she was finally able to walk out of the gate of Surabaya House openly, instead of having to act secretly like before. Although such a proper trip is a little less exciting, there is no burden in my heart but it makes Zhong'er a little more relaxed.

As friends who have been playing with De'er for more than a year, Bell naturally knows where she can see them. After leaving the gate of Surabaya House, she took Li Sheng's hand and pulled her to a small alley across the street. After a few twists and turns in the alley where there was a house attached to the house, and when I raised my eyes, a clearing attached to the city wall appeared in front of Li Sheng and Zhong'er.

In the clearing, Li Sheng clearly saw three boys of different ages driving a bamboo pole with their legs and a short wooden stick in their hands, playing with each other. Looking at the way they shouted and gnashed their teeth at that time, it was not difficult for Li Sheng to guess that they were engaged in a game that almost every boy had loved for thousands of years - war.

With the long bamboo as the horse, the short wood as the soldier, the right hand command is like an arm, like a battlefield general, and the left hand calls the front, then do the trip to recruit friends. Although in the eyes of outsiders, only those three people were clearly seen in the field doing those slashing and slashing movements that were not even fancy fists and embroidered legs, but as far as the three people in the field were concerned, they were really commanding these thousands of troops and horses to fight.

Men are originally strong personalities, and they like to move but don't like to be close. Although there are so many weak people who can't be picked up on their shoulders and can't bear their arms, they are all because they have been suppressed since childhood. If it weren't for the fact that someone forced them to copy books three times a day, and to write three articles a day, completely depriving them of time to play, so that they didn't know what games were at all, and only knew how to recite poems correctly, I am afraid that those who read books would not be like the vast majority of people nowadays, "ignoring the things outside the window and reading only the books of the sages".

"However, what they play now is really similar to what I used to play." Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Sheng recalled the scene of fighting with his classmates in elementary school. He was surprised to find that whether it was in the Han Dynasty 1,800 years ago or in the modern day 1,800 years later, the content of the children's war games was exactly the same, except for the name of the weapon they called.

"It's weird. When these little ghosts become adults, they generally do not tell their children and grandchildren about their 'childish' behavior as a child. So how does the legacy of this war game continue? Li Sheng thought about it, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. It wasn't until his sleeve was gently tugged that he came back to his senses. saw that the bell had already called De'er and the three of them to stop playing and came to him.

Looking at Zhong'er's somewhat arrogant and excited appearance, it is obvious that the "******" she made for her has attracted the attention of these little ghosts. Li Sheng could obviously feel that although the three of De'er were standing in front of him, their eyes were constantly aiming at the "******" in Zhong'er's hand. It seems that their minds are not on their side.

"Bell, what are you bringing them here for?" Li Sheng asked. He felt that Zhong'er should play with them quickly now, he was not familiar with De'er and the other three, and he only came here to take care of Zhong'er, and he didn't need to join them directly. Therefore, he felt strange about Zhong'er's behavior.

"Hehe, it's nothing! Brother Sheng, they are all my friends. I just want them to get to know you. Zhong'er shook her head and said with a smile, looking very coquettish.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Sheng was also interested, he looked at the three friends who were born civilians standing beside Zhong'er, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: Hey, judging from the appearance of these three people, they all have their own characteristics.

"It's not easy." This is the definition that Li Sheng gave them. The idea of associating with them arose in his mind. "Tell me, what's the name of these three friends of yours?" He asked.

"This looks old! It's De'er. He was the only son of Song Bo. Song Bo originally wanted him to inherit the family business, but he didn't want this kid to always want to rush to the battlefield, but it made Song Bo angry. As he spoke, he was a little dignified when he was silent standing on his right, but he looked at him with a little flatteryβ€”he was De'er, and his name was Song De.

"Hello." Li Sheng saluted him with a smile and bowed halfway.

"Good what? If it weren't for Zhong'er asking me to see you, I wouldn't be mixed up with a little white face like you! De'er turned his head, rolled his eyes, lifted his feet, stood diagonally, and said awkwardly with a dragging. Although it was the first time he had met Li Sheng, he was already very disgusted with Li Sheng.

"Does the little white face mean me?" Li Sheng, who made overtures to the other party but was refused, touched his nose very embarrassed and asked with a wry smile. He looked at De'er's very problematic gaze at Zhong'er, and his heart moved, and he suddenly understood something: "Why are these ancient people so precocious? He muttered to himself in boredom.

"De'er, what are you talking nonsense?" Li Sheng here was noncommittal to Song De's rudeness, but the bell over there was unrelenting to De'er: "What happened to the last time you were three people!" Well? Actually left me a girl at the end and ran away by myself? Do you say you still look like a man? ”

"It's nothing." De'er muttered quietly, but indifferently. Although he likes Dang'er, he hasn't yet come to the time when he is desperate for Dang'er. Perhaps this is how a man thinks of a woman at this time: he can like a woman, but he will never give up his life for her. Even in order to escape for their lives, they will not hesitate to abandon their wives. You can't say they're ruthless because of that. Because this is the habit of everyone in this society.

Regarding this situation, Li Sheng, as a descendant, naturally understands it very well. It's just that he knows that the general environment of this society is like this, and he doesn't have much to say for a while, he just plans to change their thinking little by little when he gets acquainted with everyone in the future. After all, Li Sheng felt that they were all children, and they were the easiest to accept new things. So, Li Sheng just smiled and waved his hand to Zhong'er, and said calmly: "Isn't today the day for you to meet again?" Why say such unpleasant things. Bell, you still have two friends who you haven't introduced to me. ”

"Oh!" Deng'er is much younger than them, so it is naturally easy to forget the unhappiness just now, she was disturbed by Li Sheng's change of topic, and suddenly remembered the other two who were left on the side.

"This body, strong as a cow, is a big cow. I don't know what his name is, only that he is the son of a blacksmith in the northern Zhou of this city. She pulled a big man with dark skin like black charcoal and said to Li Sheng.

"Hello!" Li Sheng also bowed to him politely.

"Hehe, how are you?" The big cow smiled innocently. He seemed to return the gift to Li Sheng in the same way, but he didn't want to think that he had never done this before, and he was in a hurry for a while.

"The youngest and youngest is Xiao Rui. He is only one person, who lives in Da Niu's house, and he can be regarded as Da Niu's younger brother. Bell pointed to a thin but shrewd and capable little ghost.

"Hello!" Li Sheng still hasn't forgotten his etiquette.

"Good!" Xiao Rui nodded, and a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he felt the existence of respect at that moment.

"Well, I just introduced you to you. Now, I'm going to introduce you to you as well. Zhong'er smiled, grabbed Li Sheng's right hand and said, "This is the new brother Sheng, Li Sheng, Li Zixu." Don't look at him as weak as he looks, he also knows how to box. Although Brother Sheng's strength may not be as strong as De'er, it is still between two and two when it comes to fighting. As for the head, I dare say that Brother Sheng is the best in us. If you want to think of any new ideas, you have to go to him. You know, this one in my hand was invented by Brother Sheng. ”

"Is this true? Is he really as good as you say? It's not just bragging. The strange voice of yin and yang sounded suddenly, and when everyone looked at it, they saw that it was De'er who was complaining there, "Bell'er, whether this person is powerful or not, we haven't seen it." If we don't show some ability, we Sanjie won't be convinced. ”

"Ability? Do you have what it takes to make this flying thing? Bell was robbed of a white by De'er, and suddenly looked unhappy.

"We don't have what it takes to do that. But he doesn't have the ability to do it. My father made this thing, don't deny it. "That's what De'er said.

"You...... You......! It seems that he has never seen De'er look so reckless, and Zhong'er was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her eyes were red, and she seemed to be about to burst into tears.

This is very bad, Li Sheng was afraid that he would be scolded by Mrs. Li, so he was a little anxious, he pulled Zhong'er behind him to protect him, and said directly to De'er: "You seem to be very dissatisfied with me." In that case, let's draw a line. I'm going to ask you a little bit about it. ”

"What do you mean by drawing a line?" De'er was slightly stunned at first, but she understood Li Sheng's later words. For Li Sheng's direct challenge, he was unwilling to retreat, so he said to Li Sheng with a solemn face: "Since you are very powerful. Then we'll compare it to the last time. Whoever wins is the boss here, and the loser must completely obey the orders of the victor, how about it? ”

"Okay." Li Sheng nodded without any second thought, but sent the bell to Da Niu and Xiao Rui.

"Help me keep an eye on him." Li Sheng told them. Then he spread his hands out and made a Tai Chi starting pose, and said to De'er: "Come on." Let's stop using sticks. In case of bleeding, it is not good for anyone. ”

"Good!" De'er gritted his teeth in response, but he was completely accustomed to his fist and blasted it into Li Sheng's chest in one breath.

What to do? Li Sheng's heart was empty, and his momentum suddenly weakened a lot. He could no longer cope with it with Tai Chi as he had hoped, and he could only rely on his own strength and agility like ordinary children.

De'er's fist hit him quickly, and Li Sheng didn't dare to come to such a hard bump. So, he leaned slightly, staggered his steps, and staggered a little to dodge the punch.

It took a lot of strength but finally hit the vacancy, and the sudden feeling of nothingness made De'er feel very uncomfortable. He obviously exerted too much force, and his body suddenly became unstable and rushed a few steps forward.

This is a wonderful opportunity in Li Sheng's eyes, he didn't wait for his body to be stable, so he raised his right foot, and kicked De'er's ass directly with a heavy blow, beating De'er a foot away, and fell to the ground weakly humming. Apparently lost the ability to fight again.

Surprisingly, it was absolutely a big surprise. Dang'er and the others, who thought that there would be a fierce battle, were stunned for a moment when the scene had been done so quickly, and they didn't know what to say. They looked at De'er, who was lying on the side and couldn't move for a while, and then looked at Li Sheng, who was staying there for some reason, and they always had a feeling of surprise in their hearts: "This Li Sheng looks white and pure, and seems to be weak, how can he have such great strength?" ”

In fact, Li Sheng also felt strange about his strength. Although he thought in his heart that because he ate well and was older than De'er, his strength might be greater than De'er, but he never thought that it would be so big. Judging from the situation of the kick just now, even if he was twenty-four years old, he would never be able to do it, so how could he do it now? And it seems to be quite easy. In Li Sheng's self-feeling, it seems that he didn't spend much effort just now.

"What's going on here? Rather than weakening my strength with age, my strength seems to have grown a lot. Could it be that I was transformed by the energy of time and space because of the time and space energy as I said in the novels I saw on the Internet before? Hehe, if that's really the case, I'll be able to do it. Li Sheng stood dumbfounded, guessing about his own affairs.

Of course, his guess wasn't entirely correct, but it was close. In fact, what helped Li Sheng transform his body was not the energy of time and space, but the power of the immortals possessed by the ten major artifacts. Although a lot of it was consumed in the time and space shuttle, the remaining one or two percent in the end was still enough to make Li Sheng's body much stronger than before. Of course, this is in secret, and Li Sheng himself does not know. When he first came here, Li Sheng felt for the first time that his strength was much smaller than his original strength because he had just traveled through time and space, and he thought that he was not good. Therefore, I have been avoiding doing some heavy work by myself since then. Naturally, I didn't know that my strength was actually very strong.

It's really gratifying. After all, for him, he didn't have to worry much about intelligence when he went back to the past, even if his intelligence was only at the level of ordinary people, but with the summary of his wisdom experience over the past two thousand years, he could still be regarded as a good level. But the body is different, after all, people are eating better and better, but it seems that the body is getting worse and worse, and I always feel that people are more likely to gain weight than before, and the so-called health is always a kind of illusory phantom, and it is difficult to have a sense of reality.

"If you don't have a strong body, you can't become a general." If that were the case, Li Sheng would be very disappointed. Back in this chaotic ancient period, he demanded that he become a person who was both civil and military. In his opinion, even if he can't really meet the standard of "Wu wins Lu Bu and outwits Kong Ming", but if he can have Liu Bei's skills, Cao Hong and Cao Ren's intelligence is about the same, and they can still mix well under those princes.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

Now I feel happy in my heart, and I feel relaxed. Seeing that De'er still couldn't stand up, he couldn't help but feel a little more guilty in his heart. In the surprised eyes of Zhong'er, Da Niu and Xiao Rui, Li Sheng strode up to De'er and gently helped him up.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been that heavy. It didn't hurt. Li Sheng said apologetically.

This apology made De'er inexplicable: "Only the winners laugh, and the losers cry." How can anyone apologize to this failed person like this Li Sheng? ”

"You don't hate me?" De'er asked with a little frustration. Obviously, he was a little frightened by Li Sheng's vigorous kick.

"It's just a small thing." Li Sheng waved his hand and said to De'er: "I really want to be friends with you." Even if there is any conflict with friends, you can't take it to heart. What's more, we men should raise the three-foot Qingfeng, report to the country, go down to Anlishu, do heroic deeds, and be chivalrous. Where can you be obsessed with such a trivial matter for the sake of your own people? ”

Hearing this, De'er and the others couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm. Maybe they didn't understand the true meaning of what Li Sheng said, but they were still very excited when they heard Li Sheng ask them to be heroes and heroes.

Suddenly, De'er stretched out his hand and said loudly: "We don't be friends, we are brothers!" ”

"Hmmm! Be brothers who share life and death. Xiao Rui was the first to react and attached his hand to the back of De'er's hand.

"Share the blessings and share the difficulties." Li Sheng said as he added his own hand to it.

"Never leave and never give up, stay with us for a lifetime." This is the voice of the big cow.

"Lower it, lower it. I want it too. Zhong'er's body was still too short to reach everyone's hands, and she suddenly muttered loudly in dissatisfaction.

"No, there's no you here. Boys do great things! Where is there room for girls to join? De'er immediately refused Zhong'er's request. Of course, this is a reasonable reason, but in fact, the real situation is what he whispered in his heart: "Boss Li's ability is indeed much better than mine." I can't be the head here. It doesn't seem to be interesting to me to look at the bell, she is familiar with the boss. If she is added at this time, what if she wants to marry the boss in the future? This vow is a lifelong thing, should I call her the third sister or the sister-in-law? This seemed to De'er to be at a loss, and in order to avoid trouble in the future, he simply rejected Bell Er now.

"Brother Sheng......?" Zhong'er looked at Li Sheng pitifully, wanting to pray for his answer. Because De'er has been the leader of this group for a long time, although he wants to hand over the position of head to Li Sheng at this moment, his prestige among everyone is still high. At this moment, he said it to Zhong'er so formally, and Deng'er naturally didn't have the courage to refute him. Even if she doesn't take De'er seriously at all.

However, she also seems to have entrusted the wrong person. For this matter, Li Sheng also didn't want Zhong'er to intervene. After all, he now knows a little bit that the rules of society at this time do not allow women to enter national affairs. Although he is also very cold about this rule from modern times, he believes that he should still follow the old rules before he has the ability to overturn them and establish new ones. Because that would reduce a lot of resistance to their development, he only shook his head lightly at Zhong'er's request, and said with a slight smile: "Zhong'er still can't do it now." We boys can easily abandon their homes and wander the world, but can you leave your mother now? I'm afraid that if you go far, you will still be worried. In fact, what you just said is just a name, if you want to play with the big guy, we are naturally very happy. It doesn't matter if there is that or not. Besides, if you were like them, you would have to do my bidding and get busy every day, and don't even think of clamoring for something new like you are now. ”

A half-reassuring and half-threatening word made Zhong'er intuitively close her mouth, she was still young, she just wanted to play, where would she use a name to exchange for the new toy in Li Sheng's head? At the moment, she never mentioned it again.

After establishing a formal relationship, Li Sheng became more and more familiar with them in the next few days. Li Sheng, who has already experienced a childhood, naturally understands the thoughts of these children very well. Under his deliberate friendship and teasing, De'er, Da Niu, Xiao Rui and other three people's admiration for him gradually rose. Although it has not yet reached the point of "never leaving", at least in their hearts, Li Sheng is already a real boss. They still listen to the boss.

Seeing their attitude towards himself, Li Sheng felt very satisfied. Although Li Sheng has not yet confirmed whether he will take the road of courtiers or the road of being a king in the future, it is necessary to gather a group of his own strength no matter which road he takes.

Because they were also familiar with De'er and others, several people got together to play, and Li Sheng's afternoon time was all occupied by them. They always pestered Li Sheng to come up with this idea and that idea, and everything related to play. Although Li Sheng is also a fun-loving person in both the original modern era and the ancient times, this game is also divided into different age levels. Li Sheng's body is thirteen years old, but his mind is not really twenty-four, but he is at least nineteen or twenty level, and letting him play with the guys here who are not more than ten years old is really testing his patience.

Once or twice, Li Sheng agreed to it relatively smoothly, and three or four times said it made him a little bored. When there were more and more such requests, Li Sheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. He called De'er and the other four, looked at them coldly, and asked calmly: "Have you all forgotten the ideal of becoming heroes and heroes that you confided when you first made friends?" ”

"I didn't forget." Everyone replied in unison.

"Since you haven't forgotten, then why do you only want to play, instead of pursuing the strength of heroes? Do you think heroes are just warriors on horseback and wielding swords? Li Shengji asked.

"Isn't it?" Da Niu asked rhetorically. Although he said this alone, it represents everyone's voice, after all, they all think so.

"Huh! If only things on the battlefield were that simple. Riding horses, waving divine soldiers, rushing back and forth to kill excessively, but it can only be regarded as the courage of a horseman. Its most powerful person is said to be 10,000 enemies, but it is rare to really be able to fight face-to-face with thousands of people without falling behind. And it's such a person, I'm afraid that I can't find twenty in the whole world. What a general in command of the army really needs is not personal force, but the intrigue hidden in his chest. Four hundred years ago, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was invincible in the world, but in the end, he was defeated in the hands of Han Xin, who was not even as good as him with a finger. It can be seen that force is not the most important thing in combat. The courage to command a million troops without changing color, the bravery to face countless enemies without fear, and the whimsical wit to always be a general are what you need to be a true general. At most, personal martial arts can only be used to lead thousands of people to kill, and cannot make thousands of people work for it at all. Li Sheng laughed loudly and said so much. He wanted his brothers and friends to understand the power of knowledge.

"How can I get these things?" De'er's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Read!" Li Sheng replied in the affirmative.

"Reading? Did that work? I only see those who read sour words, but they don't know anything. Regarding the means that Li Sheng said, De'er first questioned it.

"That's because they're reading the wrong book. In fact, there are several types of books. They read it like a wind and a snow, and the wind is happy, so naturally it is useless. But what I ask you to master are the four types of military strategies, power and strategy, statecraft and artifact manufacturing, which are all that real generals need to master. Li Sheng explained with a smile.

"Is it really that amazing?" Everyone's eyes widened involuntarily, and there was still some suspicion in the faint sense of suspicion.

"Do I need to lie to you?" Li Sheng's face changed deliberately, and he asked with a tiger face.

"That's impossible, of course." Everyone responded only to it, but there were still some different thoughts in their hearts, "Let's take a look first." Although they were so relieved, there was no excitement on their faces.

"Don't be depressed. I'm not going to make you too upset. Starting tomorrow, shall I tell you the stories of the heroes? After giving them a slap in the face, Li Sheng threw them another bunch of fruits. "Yes, yes." As soon as they heard the story, everyone immediately dissipated some of the unhappiness just now.

"Why don't you say it now?" They were full of hope and asked Li Sheng.

"It's fine. Then I'll tell you a story about this dynasty. That was from the Yellow Turban Rebellion......" seemed to be unable to bear to see everyone's disappointment again, but Li Sheng happily agreed to their request.
