Be a master through ancient times

"Clang clang!!"

A burst of loud gongs came from the end of the street, adding a bit of noise to the otherwise ordinary and boring afternoon, and also attracted a lot of old men who liked to watch the excitement.

There is a stage at the end of the street. It is the place where the wealthy people in the county invite opera troupes to sing operas for everyone during the Chinese New Year.

I thought it was not a festival, so how could there be a troupe?When I got there, I realized that there were a few old men sitting or standing, waiting there.They don't look like opera singers at all, they are all thick and strong, and it takes a lot of effort to perform martial arts.

"Could it be that he is a performer?" An old man squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, so he guessed.

"It doesn't look like it to me. They don't have anything around them, and they don't have monkeys. It's impossible to do art with just fists and kicks." A middle-aged man next to him shook his head, his face full of disapproval.

A few people on the stage saw that there were quite a lot of people around, so they knocked on the gong again, and the sound of "clang" made the people below instantly quiet down.

"Fathers and folks, hello everyone." It was Hu Jun who spoke. He lost the lottery last night and had to be the speaker today.

"Maybe some uncles look familiar to us. Yes, we have set up conscription points near the four city gates in Yuanshan County in the past few days, in order to help Xijiang Province recruit a group of elite soldiers and generals."

"Conscript? Let's go."

The people below retreated while talking, for fear that if they walked slowly, they would be dragged and forcibly recruited.

"Hey, everyone, don't rush to leave, I haven't finished my sentence yet. Don't worry, everyone, this conscription is purely voluntary, and we will never force others to do what is difficult for us. We have already reported this to the old parents of the county government. , if we act improperly, the old man will not just sit back and watch the common people suffer wronged." Hu Jun amplified his voice, and first dispelled the doubts of these people.

As soon as County Magistrate Yang was mentioned, these people nodded straightly. As soon as they became more courageous, their desire to watch the excitement naturally rose again, so they took back their steps and surrounded them again.

"As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to fall, rely on everyone to run, and at critical moments we have to rely on ourselves. Now life in the city is peaceful, thanks to the old parents' good management. But once out of the city, the people by the mountains, forests and waters , but it’s not so peaceful.” The first two sentences were said by a salesman of anti-wolf equipment, and they were taught by Chu Ci to fool the simple people in Yuanshan County.

Hu Jun looked at everyone's reactions, saw some people lowered their heads in thought, and some people looked solemn, so he continued.

"As the saying goes, don't be afraid of [-], just in case. We can't say that we will stay in the city all our lives, and there will always be a day when we go out of the city, right? There will always be times when we will be alone? What should we do when we meet a strong man? What do you say?" Hu Junyue spoke more vigorously, the back of his right hand kept tapping on the palm of his left palm, and he sighed, as if he was indeed worried about them.

"It's not that I look down on our folks in Yuanshan County, it's just that your physical strength is a bit weak. If you are caught by a strongman, if you don't do three tricks, you will immediately be caught and pinned to the ground like chickens. Not even a chance to resist."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was angry. This kid actually treated them like a woman with no power to restrain a chicken. They are also old men after all, so how could they be as useless as they said?

Immediately someone shouted from below: "That kid on the stage, don't look down on others, just like you, I will beat three of you."

"Beautiful Zhong Laosan!" The people around shouted, this man is a butcher, under his hands a hundred catties of pigs behave like cats.

"Oh, this uncle looks a little unconvinced. Otherwise, you can come on stage and have a try with my brother. He is also surnamed Zhong, and he is from your family. If you survive the three tricks, our brother will fight with everyone Apologize, and invite everyone to have a meal over there, how about it?"

Zhong Laosan thought, even if he fights with those hooligans on weekdays, he still wins and loses, why can't he even survive three moves today?

He responded graciously, which drew applause from the surroundings, hoping that he could go up and come back to fight for the good men of Yuanshan County.

The others retreated, leaving the middle table to Zhong Bao and Zhong Laosan.Zhong Laosan looked at Zhong Bao, saw that he had a big shoulder and a thick waist, and he was full of menace, so he couldn't help but feel a little timid, but he thought about it, he didn't let him defeat him, he just survived three moves, what are you afraid of?

"Just let the horse come here." Zhong Laosan put on a defensive posture and said provocatively.

Zhong Bao was also unambiguous. Baihu said that whoever loses will deduct the money for the treat from his monthly silver.

He tried a couple of times first, Zhong Laosan escaped, and the people below relaxed, it seemed that today's meal was settled.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Zhong Laosan was thrown on the ground, unable to get up no matter what, it seemed a bit like a woman at home catching chickens.

Everyone said they didn't see it clearly, and those who saw it carefully explained it. It turned out that Zhong Bao first swept Zhong Laosan to the ground with his right foot, then turned around and stepped forward, pressing his knee on his leg, Then he twisted Zhong Laosan's two arms and turned them around his head so that he couldn't move.These movements happened within a few breaths, like flowing clouds and flowing water, it was really too fast.

Zhong Bao said "I'm offended", and let Zhong Laosan go.Zhong Laosan didn't understand why, but he was still full of dissatisfaction, thinking that he was just negligent for a while.

"If you don't accept it, you can choose a match with our brothers on the field. It's still the same sentence, if you survive three tricks, we will apologize." Hu Jun smiled slightly.

Zhong Laosan swept his eyes in front of several people on the field, and then fixed his gaze on Kou Jing who was sitting at the top.Seeing that this person was not as strong as the previous ones, he felt that he seemed to be a little more bully.Another one, the ones sitting on it are basically officials. How many of the officials are really hardworking? Isn't it pointing at others to work hard?

"I can choose him?" Zhong Laosan pointed to Kou Jing.

The man on the field was silent, why did Mao seek death?Wouldn't it be nice to go down decently?

"Are you sure?" Hu Jun said with difficulty, wanting to give him a chance to be a man again.

But Zhong Laosan misunderstood, "I will choose him. It's not what you said. Can everyone on the field choose him?"

"Yes." Kou Jing said.He stood up and walked towards Zhong Laosan.

This time Zhong Laosan decided to act first, so as not to be the same as before, he charged towards Kou Jing with momentum, half-bowed, and raised his hands forward, trying to hug his waist and fall down.

In a blink of an eye, Kou Jing had already knocked off his hand, then supported his shoulders and rolled back, kicked his vest again, causing Zhong Laosan to fall to the ground.Then Kou Jing imitated Zhong Bao's actions before, and the scene of catching chickens reappeared again.

Only one trick this time.

The people in the audience couldn't help shouting, compared with these people, those who go around the rivers and lakes are really flamboyant.

"I'm Zhong Laosan convinced!" Zhong Laosan was helped up, and readily admitted defeat. This kind of behavior made everyone on and off the stage admire him, he is a man!

"Everyone also saw just now that our brothers are more soft-hearted than strong men. If you really meet strong men, I'm afraid you will fall when you meet." After Zhong Laosan went down, Hu Jun continued, he He shook his head, obviously saying hi.

When the others saw it, they whispered, "Let him do any conscription work in the future."

Seeing that everyone looked worried, Hu Jun changed the subject and said, "Of course, don't worry too much, we are here to give you advice today."

"Could it be that you want to coax us into serving as soldiers?"

"Look at what you said, conscription is indeed one of our goals. But our real goal is to teach you some self-protection skills, so that when you face strong people, you will have the strength to fight, no matter how bad it is. I can run faster." Hu Jun finally said what they discussed yesterday.

After leaving Mr. Xu's house yesterday, seeing that it was still early, Chu Ci also went to the meeting.Seeing that everyone still couldn't discuss anything, Chu Ci had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea for everyone.In a word, it is to cultivate a sense of collective honor first, and then complete the great mission of striving to be a soldier and determined to win glory for the country.

Poor to learn literature, rich to learn martial arts.

Ordinary people can't even afford to read books, so where can they get the money to hire a martial arts master?After listening to them talking about kung fu, someone asked, "How much does that bundle of training cost?"

"Free, all free. Men over 16 years old and under [-] can sign up for the seven-day training camp. Seven days, give you a different life! But once you sign up, you can't quit at will. After seven days, go and stay random."

I don't know if the word "free" is too stimulating for everyone, or the desire to become stronger motivates everyone to move forward. In short, there are quite a lot of people who signed up.Some elders also stepped forward to help their children sign up.

Not long ago, the county posted another official document, saying that when a merchant traveling between Yuanshan County and Fuyang County passed by somewhere, all five people in his party were killed and the goods were also taken away.

The strongman in peacetime is more vicious than in troubled times.In troubled times, many of them are forced to become bandits, but they still have a little kindness in their hearts. They only seek money, and generally do not kill people.I don't know how cruel it is to be a bandit in peacetime!Those who have seen them are basically dead.

Now that these people haven't been caught yet, just in case, they still need to let their children learn some skills to save their lives. If they can struggle a little longer, they might have to wait for others to save them.

There were quite a lot of people who signed up. Although Hu Jun and the others could read and write, they couldn't write quickly. When they got up in a hurry, their pens would be blurred.In the end, Kou Jing sat down by herself and registered the names, ages and places of origin of these people one by one.

There are quite a lot of things to fill in for one person, the ones in the front didn't leave, and the ones in the back came from home again.Seeing that the hundreds of households in his family were flooded by people, and everyone was helpless, a clear and clear voice suddenly came: "Hey, so many people signed up?"

"Chu Xiucai, you are finally here. Hurry up, sit down and help register." Wang Quan first took the book in Chu Ci's hand, and handed Chu Ci a pen, his face full of flattery smile.

Well, since it's here, let it be.Chu Ci calmly took the pen, sat down next to Kou Jing, and instantly diverted a large group of people for him.

Kou Jing turned her face away, showing a grateful smile, and Chu Ci also smiled.After laughing, the two turned their heads in tacit understanding and started to register.

……

"Fengmang Training Camp" is just outside the county seat, in Kou's other courtyard.

Steward Xu also attended the meeting yesterday, and brought people here early this morning to make arrangements.Behind the newly built other courtyard, there is a large piece of wasteland that has not yet been reclaimed, and it happens to be used as a school ground, and it just needs to be leveled.

In the backyard, dozens of carpenters are carefully pondering some blueprints, while their apprentices are constantly planing wood to make those weird tools.

Some of these drawings imitated the equipment in the military camp, and some were contributed by Chu Ci.He has participated in two military summer camps by himself, and later took the students there a few times. He has a certain understanding of the things inside, and he has drawn everything that can be rushed out within a few days.
