When Shen Qiuniang came back from the small kitchen with food, the two little guys were catching ants in the yard, leaning on their heads, lying on the ground together, engrossed, Shen Qiuniang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, in the future, the two little guys can also have a playmate when they are together.

"Little ones, are you hungry?" she asked with a smile as she walked into the courtyard with her meal.

"Hungry!"

Yuanba and Niuniu jumped up at the same time and rushed to the small kitchen first, but halfway through the run, Yuanba stopped and let Niuniu rush in first, Niuniu occupied a good position, and slapped her face with joy, "Brother Yuanba, I won!"

"Silly girl, this is Brother Yuanba letting you go!"

Shen Qiuniang walked into the kitchen with a smile, and when she saw Yuan Ba grinding, she asked him a little strangely, "Aren't you hungry?"

Yuan Ba scratched the back of his head, annoyed by his gaffe just now, "His grandmother's, she is also in her twenties, why is she still eating with a three-year-old girl, is there really a little childlike innocence in his bones?"

"Yuanba, wash your hands and eat. ”

Shen Qiuniang was distributing dishes and chopsticks to them, and urged him with a smile, "My little stomach is hungry!"

Looking at the gentle and kind smile of his aunt, the annoyance in Yuan Ba's heart was suddenly swept away, he was only three years old! Isn't it normal to be a little childlike? What is there to be frustrated.

He happily agreed, washed his hands, happily squeezed next to Niuniu, picked up the chopsticks and took a big bite of rice, muttering indistinctly: "Auntie, I'm really hungry." ”

"When you're hungry, eat more. ”

Shen Qiuniang saw him eating tiger heads, and couldn't help but give him the largest piece of meat lovingly, and asked them, "When I was not in the afternoon, were you naughty?"

"No! We're very well-behaved. ”

Yuan Ba and Niu Niu looked at each other and smiled, that was their secret......

After dinner, Shen Qiuniang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to start teaching them to read, the oil lamp in the hut had been lit, and the two children were sitting obediently on the wooden couch, with a small square table on the wooden couch, and one on each side.

The maid Qiuju sent them a lot of paper and pencils, the textbook Shen Qiuniang had herself, she dragged out a bamboo box from under the bed, this was the only property she kept, it was a box of books, thirty or forty copies, because it was worthless in the eyes of the soldiers who raided the house, and it was retained.

At this time, engraving printing has not yet appeared, although there is slate rubbing, but it is mainly used for Buddhist scriptures, and books are copied by hand, so there is a special copyist this industry, it is not easy for ordinary people to have a book, but also because Shen Qiuniang was born in a famous family to have so many books.

Yuan Ba was very interested in Shen Qiuniang's bookcase, his little head stepped forward, and he smiled with a salivating face: "Auntie, show me, what good books are there?"

Shen Qiuniang tapped lightly on his little brain, "Sit down obediently, and I'll show you later." ”

Yuanba had to sit next to Niuniu with his head in his hands, Niuniu's white and tender little finger shaved her face, gloating over him for being beaten, Yuanba stuck out her tongue and made a grimace for her, and regretted it after making a grimace, how did she live smaller and smaller?

"Let's get started!"

Shen Qiuniang took a few books and sat in front of them, the paper and pen were ready, she had already taught her daughter hundreds of words, but she didn't know how Yuanba was literate, so she asked him with a smile, "Yuanba, how many words do you know?"

In fact, although the characters of this era are not simplified, most of them are known by Yuanba, and he didn't dare to frighten his aunt, so he had to scratch his head and smile: "A thousand words!"

"It's a little better than Niuniu, that's good, we can't read, and we just start reading. ”

Shen Qiuniang took a book of poetry and flipped to her page with overlapping corners, she smiled, "You read it with me." ”

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. ”.......

The sound of reading in the room sounded every day from then on, and soon, Yang Xuangan went to Songzhou to assassinate the history, Mrs. Zheng was not worried about her husband, and also followed, Yuanba lived more freely, although reading was hard, but Shen Qiuniang took care of him meticulously, regarded him as his own, and made him taste the childhood of his mother's love.

Half a year later, Yuan Ba grew taller again, and as time went on, he was familiar with every corner of the Yang Mansion, except for the bedroom in the backyard, several healthy women guarding the door strictly followed Mrs. Zheng's orders, and did not allow Yuan Ba to go in.

Soon Yuanba discovered a new continent of Yangfu.

That afternoon, when he and Niuniu were playing hide and seek in the east courtyard, they found a courtyard surrounded by a high wall, and shouts were heard from time to time.

"Niuniu, what is going on here?" Yuan Ba looked curious.

Niuniu shook her head, she didn't know, Yuanba faintly guessed that this might be the martial arts training ground of the Yang Mansion, the martial arts of the Tianwu Dynasty was at its peak, Yang Yin started with martial arts, how could there be no martial arts training ground in the mansion, Yuanba didn't find it for half a year, he guessed that it was probably here.

"Let's take a look!"

He turned around and ran to find the door, Niuniu had become his little heel, and it was up to him to make up his mind, "Brother Yuanba, wait for me!" She ran behind Yuanba.

But they looked around, but they couldn't find the gate, Yuan Qing then reacted, the door of the martial arts training ground was not open in the Yang Mansion, but outside, if you want to enter the martial arts training ground, you must first go out of the mansion.

"Otherwise, let's climb a tree. ”

Although Yuan Ba is only two and a half years old, he has a large physique, mature thinking, and a very strong desire to learn martial arts, he knows nothing about the martial arts of this era, but he knows that the troubled times are coming, and if you want to survive in the troubled times, you must take the road of martial arts.

He found a large tree with a slightly lower branch, spat in his hand, and began to climb upwards, and there was an almond tree in the yard where they lived, and he was already very skilled in climbing it.

Niuniu took a few steps back, she had fallen from the tree, she was most afraid of climbing the tree, she turned around and ran, "I'll go back first!"

"Niu Niu!"

Yuan Ba couldn't scream, seeing that she ran away, he smiled self-deprecatingly, Niuniu didn't seem to be interested in practicing martial arts at all, how to be a chivalrous woman in the future?

Before his thoughts could go far, he was attracted by a shout from the courtyard.

"Are you practicing martial arts?

He slowly climbed upwards, and soon crossed the wall, and suddenly couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so big!"

The martial arts training ground of Yangfu is equivalent to the size of two football fields in later generations, extremely empty, overgrown with grass, just like the grassland, dozens of horses graze leisurely in the northeast corner, and there are more than a dozen straw man targets in the center of the grass to practice riding and shooting.

And just inside the wall below him was a resting place, and a dozen large logs had been thrown on the ground, and dozens of young people of about sixteen or seventeen years old were sitting on the wood to rest.

The martial arts training ground of the Yang Mansion is mainly used by the children of the Yang family to practice martial arts, and it is also the training place of the Yang Mansion Guardian Family.

The children of the Yang family can also learn martial arts while resting, and a martial artist hired by the Yang Mansion is instructing one of the children of the Yang family to practice swordsmanship.

Yuan Ba lay on a tree trunk and watched this person practice the knife, from the perspective of later generations, this Yang family's disciple's knife skills are very good, very skilled, the cold light is shining, in one go, there is no stagnation, and the martial arts competition is nothing more than that.

But the martial artist frowned, and he could see that he was very dissatisfied, and he kept shouting and scolding: "Where is the momentum?

"Master Zhao, I think Hachiro's knife skills are very good. ”

A mouthy Yang family disciple said Yuan Ba's heart, and he also thought it was very good!

"Nice bullshit!"

The martial artist surnamed Zhao scolded angrily, "Can he fight with the Turkic cavalry like this? Have you ever been on the battlefield? Thousands of horses and thousands of troops are fighting, dozens of pounds of heavy knives, can you dance it for a few hours without getting tired? A seven-foot-tall Turkic cavalry and a high-headed horse, can you split a man and a horse in half with a knife? The small blade in your hand is not even ten pounds fucking, what is not a woman's embroidery needle?"

Martial Master Zhao's voice was like a bell, and his roar made Yuan Ba's heart tremble for a while, but his every word smashed on Yuan Ba's heart like a sledgehammer.

In the era of cold weapons, winning with strength and bravery, people's potential has also been brought into full play, and real martial arts are by no means as simple as knowing a set of sword techniques or fist techniques.

At this time, someone muttered unconvinced: "How can everyone on the battlefield be so powerful, can't you do it yourself?"

Zhao Wushi's face turned red, and he stepped forward with a kick, "Damn, Lao Tzu is only two hundred people long, of course not, but what about those generals? Do you think they killed a hundred people and a thousand people in vain?"

Martial Master Zhao's words flashed in Yuan Ba's mind like lightning, and he suddenly understood a truth, being proficient in swordsmanship is just the quality of a small soldier, and the general is practicing real martial arts, otherwise, how can they be different from small soldiers?
