Chapter 3 Can you drink a cup of nothing
In the center of Yinren Village, there is a large mansion with five entrances and five exits, and the houses are guarded by strong and powerful men around the house.
In some key positions, a figure wearing a light gray one-piece hood will appear, they are not strong, but the delicate leather armor highlights their muscular figures.
These people are all wearing hoods, which makes it difficult to see their true faces, but from the awe-inspiring gazes cast by the guards around them, it can be seen that their status in Yinren Village.
They are the most powerful armed force in Yinren Village, the Mountain Patrol Team.
This shows the importance of this house, and of course, the Council of Elders, as the highest authority in Yinren Village, should not be too much to arrange more guards.
At this time, in the innermost inner hall of the presbyterian church, there were four old men.
Among them, the most proficient is Lin Hengshan, the village chief of Yinren Village.
In front of him, there was a huge sand table map, which was extremely well-made, showing the geographical and geomorphological features around Yinren Village.
"General, the group of rebellious ministers and thieves in Tiexin Village have had several frictions with us, just yesterday evening, they attacked a mine in the east of our village, and we killed a dozen villagers and three strong men. ”
"Can the mountain patrol team be discovered?" Lin Hengshan said with a cold gaze.
"No, the mountain patrol team did not receive an order according to the regulations, just hidden, and did not make a move. The five guards who were present also withdrew along with the patrolman. ”
"Okay! The families of the dozen or so villagers will take care of them, and the three strong men who sacrificed their lives, engrave their names in the stele forest in the backyard!" Lin Hengshan paused lightly, and said to the person behind him without looking back: "Second brother, call that child from Chengtao." ”
The man behind him, as if his entire body was shrouded in darkness, bowed in obedience, and then exited the room.
It didn't take long for a figure to suddenly appear in the hall, he was about one meter seven or eight tall, wearing a gray hood, but at this time, he was not wearing the hood.
This person has a heroic and clean face, which makes him add a touch of scholarly air, and he looks only in his twenties. But the wise eyes give people an extreme composure and indifference, making it impossible to guess his actual age.
With his slightly thin lips and a hint of murderous intent between his eyebrows, it can be concluded that this person is not as weak as he seems on the surface.
"I've seen adults!" The hooded man stopped five steps behind Lin Hengshan and bowed.
"How is the training of the mountain patrol team?" Lin Hengshan asked as he stared at the sand table.
"Okay. The young man replied in a low voice.
"You've been in the mountain patrol team for almost ten years, haven't you?" Lin Hengshan raised his head slightly, looked at the oil lamp hanging above the sand table, and asked attentively.
"Yes, nine years and five months. The hooded man replied.
"If you lead the mountain patrol team now and destroy Tiexin Village, ten days will be enough?" Lin Hengshan turned his head for the first time and stared at the hooded man in front of him.
"Seven days. The other party replied coldly.
Lin Hengshan slowly walked in front of the hooded man, and said slowly but firmly: "Five years later, three days to destroy the iron heart!"
The hooded man looked directly at Lin Hengshan, and after a long time, he bowed down and said, "No!"
..................... Dividing line ..................
Yi Xifeng was on the martial arts arena at this time, and his little face was flushed, standing and training. Little did he know that in the next five years, Yinren Village would usher in great changes.
All he was thinking about now was how to accomplish what seemed to him impossible training.
Martial arts training is divided into: running, jumping, standing, fighting, and shooting. Corresponding: long-distance running, frog jumping, standing horse step, catching wrestling, archery bidding.
Yi Xifeng learns an hour's "general arts" training every day from the hour to the hour to increase knowledge.
From the hour to the noon. Half an hour to practice running, half an hour to practice jumping, and one hour to practice standing.
Due to the young age of the white children, they are not able to practice fighting and shooting.
But even these first three trainings are difficult for most five-year-olds like him who have just started training.
There are about 30 five-year-old children who have been trained in art with Yi Xifeng this year.
Among these people, only 17 can complete the half-hour long-distance running training. Of the 17 people, only six were able to complete the frog jump training. And the Zama step training, so far no one has completed.
"Poof!" Bai Jing Xiaotong sat on the ground with a red little face and a depressed face. A pair of fleshy little hands rested on their knees, but they still couldn't hold down their trembling legs.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Fenghuo, who was also flushed and his posture was seriously out of shape, so he said heartlessly: "Heizi, it's comfortable to sit on this ground! Do you want to try it?"
The swarthy boy squeezed his eyes at him and bared his teeth at him. It didn't take long for him to fall to the ground with a "poof!" sound.
Unlike Yi Xifeng, Kuroko lay there directly in large characters, half-squinting his eyes and muttering:
"Xifeng, I don't think what you said is right, your piece of land is definitely not as comfortable as mine. ”
The two of them lay and sat and did not speak, both of them enjoying this rare rest.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was another "pop" sound, and I saw a tall and thin boy also sitting on the ground.
He looked older than Yi Xifeng and Lin Fenghuo, about seven years old, wearing a green shirt and a pair of white cloth shoes. The eyebrows are slightly sparse, the nose is high and straight like an eagle, and the lips are slightly thinner.
The boy sat on the ground gasping slightly, looking very tired, but far from being as tired as Yi Xifeng and Lin Fenghuo.
He glanced around slightly, and found that none of his peers could still stand, and the smug look in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly stood up and walked towards Lin Fenghuo.
"Young Master Beacon, it seems that the village elder has not taught you his true inheritance. Or are you not learning as well as my grandfather taught me?" said the tall and thin boy laughed.
"Big Nose, stay away from me. Your snot is about to touch me!" Lin Fenghuo didn't even look at the tall and thin boy, and was still lying there in a large shape.
But his words were clearly heard by a group of children around him, and immediately caused a burst of laughter around him.
Yi Xifeng was not far from Lin Fenghuo, so he could naturally hear it clearly, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
The tall and thin boy found that the children around him were laughing at him, and his face immediately turned red, but he didn't dare to attack Lin Fenghuo. At this time, seeing that Yi Xifeng was also smiling, he was immediately furious, and said viciously: "What are you laughing at, a pariah?!"
Yi Xifeng sat on the ground and raised his head to look at the tall and thin boy, pursed his lips to reveal a shy smile, and his eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent shape.
He was about to say something, but Lin Fenghuo next to him sat up and said to the tall and thin boy with a cold face: "Lin Lei, you'd better stay away from my friends!"
"What, Young Master Beacon, you, you actually said...... He, how can he be ......" Lin Lei was both shocked by Lin Fenghuo's words, and angry at Yi Xifeng, and he didn't know how to express it for a while.
But a cold voice sounded behind him, "Only he has the final say whether he is worthy or not." Lin Lei, if you have time to laugh at people younger than you here, why don't you go to the maple leaf forest in the north to hunt a maple leaf wolf and come back. ”
Lin Lei turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in leather armor. Sunlight fell over the man's head, making it impossible for the boy to see the man's face clearly.
But Lin Lei knew that the person in front of him was Li Chengqian, the head of the art who was known for his strictness.
When Li Chengqian was young, he also served in the mountain patrol team. As the most mysterious and powerful armed force in the village, he is naturally loved by the villagers.
It was only for some reason that Li Chengqian withdrew from the mountain patrol team very early. Later, as he grew older, he became the head coach in the martial arts arena to teach the next generation in the village.
Lin Lei shuddered and said, "Boss, head coach, Maple Leaf...... Maple Leaf Wolf ?......"
Li Chengqian interrupted Lin Lei's words and said, "You will be eight years old in three months, although wolf hunting is a training that can only be completed independently by a ten-year-old martial arts teenager. But I know you, you have good talent, but you are easy to be complacent, you need a certain amount of pressure to grow better, I believe in you, I will not disgrace your grandfather! ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man laughed to himself. But no matter how people listen to it, they feel a hint of schadenfreude, a hint of revenge, and a hint of a feeling of getting what they want.
Lin Lei ran away in a gloomy manner, and the man stopped laughing. He looked at Lin Fenghuo, who was unhappy, and said: "Stinky boy, it's not bad, you've only been here for three months, and you've been insisting on walking for more than half an hour, it seems that you have found your own way of luck, and you are really talented!"
Then, Li Chengqian turned his head to Yi Xifeng and said, "Among the six of you in this group, your physical foundation is the worst, and you can barely be regarded as having some qualifications. At this time, the middle-aged man's tone of voice did not carry any emotion, which must be a very pertinent evaluation.
Yi Xifeng nodded, there was no trace of frustration or loss on his clean little face, he still looked at the other party calmly.
Li Chengqian was a little surprised, and continued: "But you insisted on taking a horse step for half an hour in less than a month after coming here. I have to say that my initial expectation for you was to train for the long jump. ”
"What's even more surprising to me is that you still don't understand your own method of resisting strength. Li Chengqian glanced at Yi Xifeng's trembling legs, which was caused by the long time of Zama stepping before, and it was also a manifestation of not being able to control the strength in the body.
"The ancients are the masters, and perseverance comes first. A five-year-old child has such a strong will! It's rare!" The middle-aged man became happier the more he spoke, and he took out a wine gourd from his waist and drank it.
After a few sips, he suddenly said to Yi Xifeng: "Boy, how about I teach you the Imperial Jin Exercises?"
Yi Xifeng thought to himself: "Can this kind of thing still be a multiple-choice question? Shouldn't it be a declarative sentence?"
Yi Xifeng discarded distracting thoughts, hurriedly bowed down, and said sincerely: "If you are taught by the head of the sect, the kid will not dare to be delusional." ”
Li Chengqian avoided Yi Xifeng's worship, and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy is clever, but it's a pity that your qualifications are limited, I will pass on your imperial strength exercises, but I can't accept you as an apprentice, and you don't have to worship me." Moreover, I have fatal flaws in passing on your method, and I will make it clear to you that it is up to you to choose whether to learn or not. ”
"Listen up, boy!" said Bai Jing Xiaotong, who still bowed.
"Hahaha......" Li Chengqian smiled heartily, suddenly raised the wine gourd in his hand and shook it at Yi Xifeng, and asked, "Can you drink a glass?"
