Chapter Seventy-Four: The County Test and the Move
Time flew by, and soon the craze for Zhang Shiyang's return subsided, and as the time for the exam approached, the whole village set off a craze for reading. Zhang Shiyang has seen Ma Hao, and the righteousness above his head has become a lot bigger, but Zhang Shiyang is very pleased. After seeing Zhang Shiyang, a group of children hurriedly returned to the county school, at this critical time, how could Zhang Shiyang let them stay here, although a group of children were reluctant to give up, but they still did not disobey Zhang Shiyang's order. Then the big exam came as scheduled, and the parents in the village were incense every time, kowtowing and chanting, which made Zhang Shiyang shake his head.
No matter how well you do in the exam, your family's livelihood can't be left behind. Everyone was busy farming at the beginning of spring, and the horse widow's field was rented out, and the whole became Zhang Shiyang's full-time nanny, and Zhang Shiyang enjoyed it. The hunting team in the village has achieved remarkable results recently, and after the county test, everyone returned home, and they went hunting to relax. Because the first batch of students were taught by Zhang Shiyang himself, even if they lived by reading in peacetime, their martial arts did not fall behind, but compared to the children on the battlefield, they were not a little worse, after all, there was a specialization in the art industry. The food in the village is getting better, and some children have to go to the town to buy it after hunting.
In the past few days, Ma Hao often went to Zhang Shiyang's house, helped with some farm work, and then asked for some knowledge, although Ma Hao did not say whether he could be admitted to Xiucai, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that this kid was quite confident. Zhang Shiyang called Ma Hao, and the two of them got on an ox cart and rushed to the mountain. After picking some wild fruits, Ma Hao looked at Zhang Shiyang: "Is there anything that Mr. has to do on the mountain this time?" Zhang Shiyang smiled when he heard this: "Scatter your heart, look at the beautiful scenery on this mountain, you can cultivate your feelings."
Then he glanced at Ma Hao, and there was a strange laugh, Ma Hao shuddered, and only felt that Mr.'s smile was so obscene. Zhang Shiyang looked at the mountain in the distance and said to Ma Hao: "Do you see that mountain? Saying that, leading the ox cart to the distance, Zhang Shiyang stroked the cow's head, and his heart moved, this old cow has been with him for some years, and it is also a fate, but in the future, he will give him a creation.
When the thought turned, the two came to the foot of the mountain, looking at this high mountain, which is more than 300 meters, Zhang Shiyang let go of the ox cart, and then walked towards the mountain. Seeing this, Ma Hao followed closely behind, and after taking a turn on the mountain, Zhang Shiyang looked at Ma Hao, "Now that the body has cultivated to that stage?" Ma Hao bowed down and said, "Mr. Hui, you are already a martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm." Zhang Shiyang nodded: "Yes, yes, do you see the bluestone over there? I'll leave it to you, get it to the car." Ma Hao heard the words and looked in the direction of Zhang Shiyang's finger, only to see a bluestone with a height of one meter, a width of nearly seventy centimeters and a thickness of forty centimeters, although it was not very regular, but it could be seen that it was a rectangle. Ma Hao's face was bitter when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say more, so he went up directly and hugged Qingshi and then thought about Zhang Shiyang chasing after him. Putting the bluestone on the table, one was panting and sweating profusely. Zhang Shiyang sat in the car leisurely, and after seeing that the bluestone was put away, with a wave of the whip, the old cow slowly walked back.
Ma Hao was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what Mr. was looking for a piece of bluestone, but he didn't ask much. When I got home, the meal was ready, but I didn't see the horse widow, so I guess I was going home. Since Ma Hao came back, Widow Ma went home for dinner again, and Zhang Shiyang did not stop her. Putting the bluestone in the courtyard, Ma Hao drank a bowl of water: "Sir, it's not early, the students are leaving." Zhang Shiyang nodded, indicating that he already knew.
Seeing this, Ma Hao turned around and walked out the door. Zhang Shiyang started his own life of grinding stone, no matter day or night, as long as he was free, he would polish the stone, which made Ma Widow and Ma Hao so weird, and even thought that Zhang Shiyang was evil. Zhang Shiyang didn't care so much, he still went his own way, and he didn't explain, and a month later, the stone was basically formed, and Zhang Shiyang stopped his grinding stone business. At this time, there was a noisy sound in the village, Zhang Shiyang walked out of the yard, and the men, women and children of the whole village walked out.
Approaching the previous question, it turned out that the results of the whole village this time caused a sensation in the entire state capital, eighty-seven people, a full eighty-seven people were admitted to the reputation of Xiucai, and a few people because they were only a little worse, this time it is necessary that this village will be more famous, and even alarm Shangjing again. The whole village killed pigs and sheep, and Daqing said that some people who were admitted to show their talents and fame began to face a choice, whether to continue to enter the government for further study, or to travel by themselves, or to find an errand. Of course, it costs money to enter the school, and most of them have chosen to find another life, and now they are famous, but there is no difficulty in finding a life, and a small number of people choose to travel. In the end, under the convening of the village chief, the whole village made a decision, each family gave the money, and sent the best twelve children in the village to school, and the villagers had no opinion, and even the yamen in the county donated some silver taels.
As the children in the village walked and scattered, it was time for Zhang Shiyang to set off. A few days ago, Ma Hao and other twelve children had already gone to Fuzhou. Zhang Shiyang moved the slate to the center of his yard, and then took out a calligraphy recipe and turned it, and the book was sent into the slate, and the slate was erected in the courtyard. This book is a secret book of martial arts, unless you kowtow sincerely, you can't get it if you don't have the opportunity. After doing it, Zhang Shiyang felt that he was a little chattering, he had been planning too much recently, but everything he did was mysterious.
In the evening, the widow Ma had just cleaned up the house, and Zhang Shiyang said to the widow Ma: "Don't come these days, prepare well, and you will leave in a few days." Hearing this, the horse widow's eyes lit up, nodded, turned and walked away softly.
Looking at the animals in the courtyard, Zhang Shiyang sighed, he has not been slaughtered in the past few years, in addition to old death, there are also a large number of animals. Zhang Shiyang looked at the animals in the courtyard and sighed: "Meeting you is also a fateful law, and now it is said that the fate is exhausted, but it is time to separate." Sitting cross-legged under the stone slab, a sound of the avenue came out of his mouth, and the animals in the courtyard suddenly quieted down, and they all lay cross-legged in place, quietly listening to the sound of the avenue. Although the sound of this avenue is grand, it is only floating in this small courtyard, not drifting outside.
It's quite strange to say, for three days, Zhang Shiyang's sermon ended, this time the Tao is not any cultivation method in this small Five Elements Realm, or even in the origin world, this is the Taoist cultivation method of another world, but the avenue is unified, and the final goal is the same. After the sermon ended, Zhang Shiyang looked at the animals in the courtyard, already had a trace of wisdom, it was night at this time, Zhang Shiyang waved his hand, the courtyard door opened, and said to this group of animals: "You go, in the future, each according to creation, should have their own fate." After hearing this, the ignorant animals in the courtyard actually saluted Zhang Shiyang, and then left at night.
Zhang Shiyang looked at the empty courtyard and couldn't help sighing, but at this time it was a different state of mind. Turn around and close the door, go into the house, blow out the lights, and rest. Early the next morning, Zhang Shiyang got up early, then looked at the courtyard, sighed, walked out of the door, came to the old village chief's house, and knocked on the door. An old voice came from inside: "Who?". "Lieber, it's me". Then the courtyard door opened, revealing the village chief's increasingly old face: "It turned out to be a gentleman, please come in quickly."
Walking into the house, the two continued to wave the old one, and Zhang Shiyang said: "Village chief, thank you for the villagers' warm hospitality over the years, I am going to say goodbye to the village chief and everyone today." The village chief was shocked when he heard this, "But what is there about the inconsiderate hospitality of Mr.?" Zhang Shiyang shook his head when he heard this: "Don't dare, don't dare, everyone's enthusiasm makes me feel at home, but there is something to do, but I have to leave." When the village chief heard this, he knew that he couldn't keep Zhang Shiyang, and he didn't keep it anymore, but he sighed deeply and was about to kneel. Zhang Shiyang was taken aback, and hurriedly helped the old village chief up: "Li Bo, how is this?" "Sir is the great benefactor of our village, but I feel that I can't thank Mr. for his great kindness if I don't bow down." Zhang Shiyang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, helped the old village chief, and then said: "Uncle Li is hypocritical, but it embarrasses me like this." I don't know when I'll see you again, Uncle Lee, take care. When he was done, he turned around and walked towards Widow Li's house.
