"Grandma, I have received your kindness, this bit of bitterness is nothing. There's a reason why I don't want to study, but it's too hard to watch my mother get up early and be greedy to wash clothes and cook for the landlord's old money, and earn some money, and I can't bear it. Gong Changyu grabbed the basin tightly with both hands and refused to take it off.

"Child, you are less than nine years old, what can you do at a young age if you don't study?" Dai was distressed.

"I can dig loaches, catch pheasants, hunt hares, chop wood, and if I am bigger, I will go to Guibei to pick salt and sell it, and I will use my own strength to raise you." Gong Changyu responded.

"No, no." Dai shook his head, "The Gong family must produce a scholar, the Daoli Emperor of the Qing and He Kingdoms emphasized literature and light martial arts, and it is difficult to get ahead in martial arts." ”

"Grandma, I really don't have the talent to read, Brother Tianyuan is the hope of the Gong family in the future."

"Where there is a will, there is a way, no one comes out of the womb with the words on their foreheads that they are the champions, and they all rely on the hard work of the day after tomorrow."

"Grandma, I saw those books and took a nap, I have been in school for a month, I don't know a few words, I have forced myself to remember my own name dozens of times, and I finally remember it."

"Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and stupid birds fly first. Being able to write your own name shows that you have put in the effort. Grandma can't even write her own name, you're much better than grandma. ”

"Why can't you write your name?"

"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented."

"I don't understand."

"Ordinary women from families don't go to private schools, and it's too common for people to be illiterate. Saying that literacy is a man's patent, but grandma heard that the lord of the blue wolf country allowed women to enter the school. ”

"Where is the Blue Wolf Country?"

"Twenty years ago, a local regime established by the leader of the Luchuan Red Lotus Sect was already destroyed by the troops sent by the emperor of my Qinghe Kingdom."

"Then why was our family's shop in Chong'an robbed by the Red Lotus Sect again?"

"The remnants have started to make waves again, so our family's business has been in a state of collapse after this change, and despite your uncle's many generous donations, it has not recovered. The Red Lotus Sect seems to have an enmity with our Gong family, no matter where they go, there is their shadow...... "Speaking of the Blue Wolf Country, Grandmother Dai's words have increased.

The first lord of the blue wolf country was called Quan Douli, and with the red lotus as a secret code for communication, he secretly built branch altars in various counties and counties, and there were halls under each altar, with millions of believers. During the reign of Emperor Tianyun, the strength of the Blue Wolf Kingdom increased greatly, and the Qing Dynasty and the imperial court confronted each other, and the sphere of influence spread to more than a dozen counties such as Luchuan, Yunjin, Guimao, Jingnan, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong.

In the early days, the head of the whole sect was still very wise, free of rent and interest, fighting local tyrants, dividing mansions, suppressing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and was deeply supported by the people. After the blue wolf army of the other counties converged according to the established route, the army of the blue wolf country soon reached more than 500,000, and the momentum was like a bamboo, marching into the river, and the capital Langcheng was fixed.

An army of the Blue Wolf Kingdom with the banner of the blue wolf wolf head also attacked the periphery of the capital of the Qinghe Empire, which made the Tianyun Emperor panic, and quickly ordered the soldiers and horses to be the king of all places, so as to exterminate this lone vanguard army and keep the capital. The lord of the country didn't know that the tendon was wrong, and he didn't save the vanguard troops when he saw death, so he was busy holding his enthronement ceremony in Langcheng, sealing hundreds of kings in one go, delegating all the military power, and emptying himself.

Then he lived in the palace and ordered the common people to hand over all the things produced in the land to the state treasury, which then redistributed them as needed. People are not allowed to do business, saying that businessmen are mercenary and cause trouble to people's livelihood. The most absurd thing is that people are not allowed to get married, especially in the army, and those who violate the order are executed at a late rate and will not be tolerated.

The head of the wolf army was wrapped in a wolf's turban, armed with a musket and a broadsword engraved with the wolf's head, and fought bravely, and every time a city was captured, some beautiful women and girls would be sent to the palace of the lord of the wolf country, and the lord of the country would first enjoy it himself, and when he was happy, he would reward the kings or his subordinates, and when he was unhappy, he would hack them to death with knives and throw their corpses into the wilderness. Therefore, many women would rather hang themselves or commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water, rather than surrender and become the spoils of the blue wolf army, and there will be no good end if they fall into their hands.

After the lord of the blue wolf country stayed in Langcheng for half a year, he took 200,000 troops to the north and fought a decisive battle with our Korean army. There was infighting in the blue wolf country, those who surrendered, those who fled, and those who fled, and in less than a month, they were broken by the king's division, and they collapsed and ceased to exist.

The remnants of the army were led by Feng Zun, the righteous son of the Quan Dou Powerful Lord, and successfully broke through, and more than 100,000 people retreated to the mountains of eastern and western Guangdong and continued to fight. It took more than ten years for the Qing army to buy some generals of the Blue Wolf Country with a lot of money to completely solve the rebellion of the Blue Wolf Country. However, Feng Zun fled to the outside of the territory, and it is said that a blue wolf country was established in Kuokuer, and the resurgence of the Red Lotus Sect in Luchuan over the years must be related to Feng Zun and his cadres......

"Grandma, what is the purpose of these things in the Blue Wolf Country that you told me?" After Gong Changyu listened, he was puzzled.

"Child, if there was no Blue Wolf Country, your father and grandfather would not have been sick and died of depression, and our lives would not have been so hard. The reason why our family has fallen to such a field today is because of the Blue Wolf Country and the Red Lotus Sect. Dai shed a few cloudy tears and choked up, "Since your father and grandfather left, we have been bullied, and your uncles have taken care of themselves, and a good big family is gone...... As the old saying goes, people are poor. No matter how hard and tired your mother and I are, we will send you to a private school, in order to let you succeed in your studies, one is to serve the country, and the other is to raise your eyebrows. ”

"Grandma, my grandson bothered you, but as soon as I touched those books, I would think of my mother washing clothes for the landlord Lao Cai in the cold winter, her hands were red and swollen like transparent carrots, and I had no intention of studying anymore." Gong Changyu couldn't help crying.

"Well, that's fine. Your filial piety is commendable, but you just let down your mother's hard work. Sir is right, maybe practicing martial arts is the best way out for you. ”

"The teacher only taught us to read and write, not martial arts. Therefore, I don't go to school anymore, I have to go to the teacher to learn art, strengthen my body, practice a skill, and when I grow up, I will sign up for the army to reduce the burden on my family. ”

"Child, it's very hard to be in the army, and you will die on the battlefield anytime and anywhere, aren't you afraid?"

"It's unpredictable to win or lose on the battlefield, and it's normal to bleed and lose your head. Ancestors bless, it will be fine. ”

"But I'm just a grandson like you, I can't bear it......" Dai was silent for a while.

"Mother, you can't bear it, I can do it." Liu came out with two bowls of dishes and said from afar.
