The big family of the He family is now scarce, the New Year conscription brought half of them, because most of the women who miss their husbands have also fallen ill, the whole family strives to protect He He and one person, the next day of the New Year, the whole family of the He family wailed, no one can see whether the young master of the He family is crying, only know that the young master's face is buried in the snow.

After that day, He He changed his name to He Fengwen, and his style changed abruptly, turning gloomy and tricky, and Mr. Yao's dozens of persuasions were fruitless, and he rarely intersected with Wang Guangyu.

Time has passed, and the day of the June exam has come in a blink of an eye, and He Fengwen has been outstanding in writing since he was a child, and he has been holding papers under Mr. Yao for decades. There is no doubt that he easily became the champion of Jincheng County, and the high-ranking officials of the county went to Xigucheng to meet him in person.

What is amazing is that Mr. Yao's scholarly spirit was not monopolized by He Fengwen alone, and Wu Haoman, the daughter of the martial arts family, who is also a big family in the city, also won the list, and the small town was even out of the top two in the county's big exam, and this small city, which had been sad and depressed for six months, finally added a little vitality.

Despite this, there are nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, there are always a few happy and some sad, and not everything can be as good as people expect.

Wang Guangyu is like this, as Mr. Yao expected, Wang Guangyu is naturally famous in Sun Mountain, people in the city are talking about it, Wang Shao's parents in the county are all scholars, and no matter how Wang Yi is, Wang Guangyu's mother Liao Qian was good at writing poems and songs when she was young, but after Wang Guangyu was born, her husband and children, and the reputation of talented women gradually declined.

As for Wang Guangyu, the person in the center of the incident, he didn't have much impact, and he was named Sanping since he was a child, so he was not surprised by this kind of thing.

However, what surprised him was that how could the ordinary martial arts family daughter on weekdays be in the limelight, Wu Hao's temperament was weak, and when he quarreled with others, he was already red-faced when he said a word of idiot, but for Wang Guangyu, he played together and chased Wang Guangyu with a mop when he was a child, and he never paid attention to the loss, as if it was a matter of course, and there were not a few verbal ridicules on weekdays.

Wang Guangyu has a headache here, this year's big exam has not passed, and he is just a little unlucky to be the first at the end of the list, it's a big deal to wait for three years and then take the exam, Wang Yi is also this idea, but when he thinks of the woman surnamed Wu who is embarrassed and brutal, he has a headache, Wang Guangyu thought: "It's a big deal that she will go out of the city to Xuanyuan School Palace in three days, but I pity my son He Hehe, father and son don't see their father out of the city, and the son will be heartbroken, so it's better to go now." ”

After that, Wang Guangyu came to the compound of the He family with a cool knife, knocked on the door, and finally opened the door of Hehe, who had not seen each other in June, Wang Guangyu looked at the scholar with a pale face and a somewhat gloomy look, changed his cynical look, and silently said congratulations

"Three days later, it is the day when you go to Beijing to be an official, the northwest is desolate, you finally leave this land of right and wrong, before that, I asked Wang Yi to ask the famous craftsmen in Jincheng County to play this cool knife, the name has not yet been taken, the road is high and the water is long, with this cool knife can be used for self-defense, but don't say that I curse you, you can't meet horse bandits and thieves, it can be regarded as a thought."

He Hehe took the knife and said with a flat face: "I accepted this gift, this knife has not been named, so it will be called Nian Liang." ”

Wang Guangyu turned around and left with a sad face

"Another one left, I don't know who will discuss with me which little lady is good-looking." The corners of Hehe and his mouth finally provoked and shouted

"Fuck you."

Three days later, outside the city of Xigu, the two families of Hewu hurriedly embarked on the road to move to the capital, and the midsummer of June seemed to have the sadness of late autumn again, and only then did some lively small town fall silent. Wang Guangyu did not go to the city gate to see him off that day, closed the door of the room, and there was a letter at the head of the bed, the letter was fresh and beautiful, but the content was very different.

I saw four words written on it, wine bags and rice bags, Wang Guangyu tried his best to avoid the sarcasm of the woman surnamed Wu, but he still didn't dodge it after all, and said with a wry smile

"This girl is too difficult, and she has a good skin, it's really a tyrannical thing, go well, and I'm cleaner."

Wang Guangyu, who is the most noisy on weekdays, also wants to be quieter, and sighs three times in a row

"Good walk, good walk, good walk......"

The old friends in the city left one after another, and the city suddenly became an empty city, Wang Guangyu thought of He Hehe, thought of Wu Haomang, and then thought of all kinds of people who left the city

Wang Guangyu walked out of the door, saw the sun shining but felt cold as early spring and late autumn, saw that the sky was clear, the warbler sang and danced, raised his hand to hide his face, and scolded and scolded: "The wind and sand in the northwest are also big." ”

About a month off, Wang Guangyu finally wanted to read, his failure is heart-wrenching, but the success of his friends made him regret it, Wang Guangyu carried the bookcase and walked to Mr. Yao's study, changed his previous behavior, read in the morning and memorize in the evening, and carried the pen and paperwork, all of which were not missed.

After more than five months like this, and another year is approaching, Wang Guangyu did not put down reading after returning home from private school, reading is like an immortal practice, Wang Guangyu called himself

"Wake up in the morning to watch the morning glow, and bathe in the moon in the cold night"

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Guangyu, as in previous years, threw away the classics in his hand and walked around the streets with Xifeng, which had been buried for a year, but felt more and more deserted.

The people in the city have blessed their young men from the pile of dead people on the border for countless early mornings, and they have also looked forward to their sons, husbands and fathers under countless sunsets to come to the moon.

On this day, breaking the expectations of the people in the city for a year, there were even women in the city who wrote the masterpiece "A few points of flower rain, looking forward to the way back" and ended with white silk in tears.

When Wang Guangyu saw this scene, he couldn't help sighing, the Li Dynasty has been emphasizing literature and light on military force for a long time, so the soldiers in the city have not been arrested as young and strong, drinking and having fun, and gongs and drums are ringing in unison. Even drunk and shouted a few words of untouchables to die.

Wang Guangyu passed by indifferently, until the tavern in the city, Wang Guangyu had just arrived at the simple but extremely clean bench, and greeted Xiao Er a few times, but the person who came was not the honest and honest guy in the past, but a demure woman with red eyes.

Wang Guangyu ordered butterfly peanut rice and a few side dishes, and then opened the altar Xifeng to pour himself a drink, as last year, in the same place and on the same day at the same time and wine, but he did not see the return of the old man.

Wang Guangyu drank Xifeng this time, compared to last year, the two of them drank together only felt a little less spicy, a little more mellow, mellow I don't know whether it is the precipitation of the years, or the story of the old people in the past, Wang Guangyu looked up at the moon, thinking that the bright moon in the sky does not know if it can shine all over the capital, and the capital does not know if there are people who drink alone facing the northwest, Wang Guangyu raised his glass and looked at the southeast.

"Hehe, why do you and my brother need to meet again!" Wang Guangyu swallowed the spicy and turned to leave.

The woman didn't know why the little master suddenly turned around and left, but she remembered that there were a few more taels of silver on the wine table.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Guangyu returned to fold the pen and carry the knife at night.

The small river outside Xigu City suddenly had turbulent waves, twists and turns, and it was no longer as smooth as before.

The Li butcher I saw last year was alone, so on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve last year, he was still catching birds and rabbits in the mountains outside the city, and heavy snow suddenly fell at night, so the Li butcher got lost, if it wasn't for a cave that he was lucky to find, and a bonfire was built, otherwise he would have frozen to death in this deep mountain valley, but because of the blessing of misfortune, he also escaped the snowy night to arrest people and join the army, and the next day Li Butcher dragged his stiff body into the city, only to know that such a big event happened last night, and today this Wang Guangyu will learn the knife with him.

Wang Guangyu may have borrowed some spicy wine from Xifeng wine last night, and burned books in the middle of the night, shouting that he wanted to pick up a knife and take care of Bahuang independently, Wang Yi, who had never made any accusations against Wang Guangyu since he was a child, was furious, punched and kicked Wang Guangyu, who had already won the crown, and drove out of the house.

"When don't you want to practice knives, when do you enter the house."

Wang Guangyu was unusual, as if he had accumulated more than 18 years of stubborn temper, and stood trembling in the biting wind and snow all night, in the early morning, the county lady was distressed, so she pulled Wang Guangyu into the house, Wang Guangyu hurriedly exited the door of the house, until Wang Yi had a gloomy face, called him in, and looked at the young face that was frozen red and threw at him with a smile, probably old, Wang Yi somehow softened his heart and said in a tough tone

"Practicing knives is not so easy, when I was young, I also wanted to step on the Huns with a white horse and a cool knife, it is not easy for you to even read books, how to talk about practicing knives, since you want to practice knives with a hot heart, then go to the market Li Butcher to learn to deboning and cutting meat for two months, if you can't persevere, you will still go to study to prepare for the big exam in two years."

Li Butcher only smiled when he heard this, and the so-called skin and meat did not laugh or not, and glanced at Wang Guangyu with a blink of an eye

"If you have nothing to do and come to me for fun, then get out of here as soon as possible."

Wang Guangyu sneered: "No, no." Li Butcher turned around and gave Wang Guangyu the carcass of the wild boar he had beaten a few days ago, and said slowly: "Remove all the meat from this wild boar, there should be no meat crumbs left on the skeleton, and the fat and thin should not be staggered. ”

I saw that Li Butcher picked up the boning knife in his hand like a third arm, the tip of the knife probed between the flesh and bones, cut around the side of the bone, separated the flesh and bone in a blink of an eye, and then used a knife as thin as a cicada's wings to reach between the fat and thin, and the meridians between the knife were broken, and the fat and thin were quietly separated. Li Butcher wiped the bloodstained knife with a rag, and then said: "If it weren't for the fact that the flesh and blood on this pig were so stiff, it would have been a few points faster." ”

Wang Guangyu was eager to try when he saw this, but his hand trembled tightly after holding the knife, and no matter how to separate the flesh and bones, he couldn't do it skillfully and perfectly when he used the tip of the knife to probe between the flesh and bones, Li Butcher shook his head when he saw this, and took out a butcher knife from the unknown black box behind him, the butcher knife was so powerful that the butcher actually threw it to Wang Guangyu with one hand

"You can stand with this knife in your hands and help me look after the store by the way, the ice and snow have melted in the past few days, and I will go outside the city to hunt a few wild boars and hares." The butcher turned and walked away. ”

At night, the butcher carried a fat wild boar into the city, thinking that the store had already been guarded by a miscellaneous servant in the house, and this impetuous and impetuous young man who wanted to learn the knife should also know the difficulty and retreat.

When the butcher entered the shop, he saw a young man standing with a knife in his hand, and when he saw the butcher barely laughing three times, he fainted, and the butcher approached and pinched the young man's arm, which was as stiff as iron.

The butcher was amazed, carrying the young man on his back and walking towards the city lord's mansion, this butcher who had not left the city for twenty years, finally had a ripple under his pupils like a dry well.
