Since Liu Xiu came to this world, he has had a good habit that he had never had in his previous life, and he started running every day as soon as the rooster crowed, and after washing. At first, I ran empty-handed, and then I ran with two small stone locks, and I don't know the specific distance, but it was not less than five kilometers anyway. Although his home is not far from the county seat, the population of this era is far less than that of the previous life, and there is a large open space between the villages.

At first, this habit was because Liu Xiu had a long-term escape plan, but then he gradually became a little addicted, and occasionally he didn't run for a day, but he was a little uncomfortable. When he arrived at the Peach Valley Lodge, he didn't want to bring a stone lock, but fortunately, there were many stones on the nearby mountain, so he casually grabbed two pieces and started running on the mountain road. The first time he ran the mountain road, he was a little unaccustomed, it took a lot longer than before, and when he ran back sweating, the sky was already bright, many early students were already reviewing their homework, and the sound of chanting could be seen everywhere in the peach forest. Seeing Liu Xiu running over in a stinky sweat, he nodded politely, and frowned reservedly to express disdain.

Liu Xiu didn't care, he walked straight to the Jingshe, and saw a person practicing knives in the peach forest on the east side from a distance, and the sound of shouting was clear in his ears, Liu Xiu was a little surprised, took a look, and found that it was Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan practiced very well, and although there was nothing in front of him, he did his best, making people feel as if he was fighting against a very difficult enemy.

Although Liu Xiu was very curious and wanted to see what kind of kung fu he usually practiced, he was afraid that Gongsun Zhan would not like it, so he smiled and said, "Brother Bo Qi got up so early. ”

Gongsun Zhan retracted his momentum when he heard this, raised his arm to wipe his sweat, a little reluctantly, and said with a reluctant smile: "How can you get up early, you have come back from practicing martial arts." ”

"Hahaha, I'm just running, how can I practice martial arts." Liu Xiu smiled half-truthfully and said, "Brother Bo Jue, if it's convenient, teach me a few tricks, and I will help you in the next fight." ”

Gongsun Zhan hesitated, his face a little embarrassed: "Wu Junhou chatted with you for so long yesterday, didn't you ask him for advice?" ”

Liu Xiu remembered what Wu Junhou had said yesterday, and asked again: "By the way, Bo Jue, is that Wu Junhou a martial artist in the army?" ”

"It should be." Gongsun Zhan obviously thought a lot about this question, and said without thinking: "Although I haven't been on the battlefield yet, I have come into contact with many warriors in the army when I was in western Liaoxi, and their martial arts are simple and violent, which is very similar to that of Wu Junhou. Actually......" He paused, and then said: "Killing the enemy on the real battlefield, hand-to-hand combat is not of much use, in the face of a large group of enemies with weapons, after all, there are a few warriors who can kill people with their bare hands, of course, I suspect that even if this martial army is unarmed, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with." For the border army in northern Xinjiang, more attention is paid to cavalry and archery skills, and hand-to-hand combat is just a normal exercise, which makes people more flexible. Even so, the hand-to-hand combat of the military is still full of a unique murderous aura, and it is still easy to distinguish it from the child's play of the scribes and Confucian scholars, and the martial arts of Wu Junhou are like this. ”

In the end, he wanted to say that later he saw the thick calluses on Wu Junhou's hands, if it weren't for Wu Junhou's mercy, he might have been strangled to death by him, but it was too embarrassing to think about it, although Liu Xiu had excellent eyesight, he didn't know martial arts, but he was afraid that he might not be able to see this, and he didn't need to be bored, so he swallowed the words back.

Although the words were not spoken, the arrogance accumulated just now in martial arts had disappeared, and he felt that it was very boring to talk about yesterday's events, so he put away his knife and walked back with Liu Xiu.

Back in the dormitory, Lu Min was sitting in the vacant position, Liu Bei arched his hands, respectfully stood aside to talk to him, as soon as he saw Liu Xiu and the two, his eyes swept over Liu Xiu's face, and he immediately avoided it with a weak heart, and smiled at Gongsun Zhan: "Brother Bo Jue, I was about to go to you, Mr. came to you, to ask something about the Xianbei people." ”

Gongsun Chan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly confessed: "Please allow me to wash first, and then listen to Mr.'s inquiry." ”

Lu Min smiled, got up and said, "Don't be busy, you guys go to eat first, and then come to my house together." ”

"Whoa." Liu Xiu and the three of them bowed down and sent Lu Min out. Liu Bei poured water with his hands and feet, first asked Gongsun Zhan to wash, and then asked Liu Xiu to wash, taking advantage of Liu Xiu's time, he ran to the canteen and brought breakfast. The Mao family is rich, and the food is not bad, in addition to a big bowl of porridge, there are two steamed buns per person. Although Liu Xiu didn't take it seriously, after all, he had lived in this era for a few months, and it was not easy to know that ordinary families could eat steamed buns, although the economic situation of his new home was okay, it was only a few days before he could eat steamed buns, and there was also the reason why Tang took care of his body.

Liu Bei never spoke to Liu Xiu, accompanied Gongsun Zhan to dinner, and occasionally looked at Liu Xiu with a somewhat evasive look. When Lu Min came, Liu Xiu and Gongsun Chan were not in the house, Liu Bei accompanied him to talk, and he didn't dare to inquire about Liu Xiu's confession, Lu Min just said that he wanted to ask Gongsun Chan about some things about the Xianbei people in Liaoxi, and he didn't mention it after asking Liu Xiu, Liu Bei felt that things were a little bad, on the one hand, he regretted it, and on the other hand, he was worried about how to face his mother's sigh and Tang's scolding after going back, and his heart was shrouded in a thick cloud of sorrow.

After eating, Liu Bei took the initiative to pick up the food table of the three of them and washed it, and then cautiously followed Liu Xiu and the others and walked towards Lu Min's house. This fine house is divided into four front and back, separated into three courtyards, the last one is the Mao family's own residence, the middle of the largest and most refreshing courtyard is Lu Zhi's father and son live, but also Lu Zhi's apprentice place, the outermost courtyard is the students who come to study live, those who are not enough, can only be taught by Lu Min can only listen to lectures in this courtyard.

In this era, the teaching was mainly self-study, and once every five days, the husband would give a lecture in the hall to solve doubts, called the capital teaching, and usually had problems only to go to the husband's room to ask for advice, of course, depending on whether the husband was free. Liu Xiu They are new here, and according to the custom, the gentleman wants to see them once to familiarize himself with the situation, and the place is in the hall in the front yard. Now Lu Min took the initiative to ask them because he had something to ask, and it was inconvenient to be with the other new students, but to let them go to his residence, which was the room in the courtyard of the second entrance.

When Liu Xiu and the others arrived, Lu Min was already sitting in the hall and asked people to prepare three straw mats, Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Bei and glanced at Liu Bei, Liu Bei saw it and recognized it, these straw mats were made by their mother and son. Their mother and son usually make a living by weaving mats and straw sandals, because they do a good job, and they are also well-known in Zhuo County.

Liu Bei grinned silently, sat on the seat in an orderly manner, put his hands on his knees, and listened to Lu Min's inquiry. Lu Min first asked them about their reading, nothing more than whether they had read literacy books such as "Urgent Chapters" and "Cangjie Chapters" and arithmetic such as "Nine Chapters", and then asked a few words from "Analects" and "Classic of Filial Piety".

Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei answered one by one, but Liu Xiu didn't say anything, although he also knew a few sentences of the "Analects", but he didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he only said that he was coarse and literate, and he didn't understand the meaning of the scriptures, and even the "Analects" had limited knowledge. Lu Min already intended to let him do the writing to help Lu Zhi transcribe, and if he had the opportunity to ask him in the future, he didn't need to ask more at this moment, and said lightly, and began to ask Gongsun Zhan some questions about the Xianbei people.

It's just that in this way, Liu Bei felt even more uneasy, his worry couldn't be hidden, and he was a little confused about what to do.
