At dinner time, the teenagers who practiced martial arts went home separately, and Chen Xu was still exercising in the courtyard.

I saw Chen Xu walking on a horse, holding a four-meter-long wooden stick with both hands, and a small basket of sand and soil was hung from the other end of the stick with a rope.

Maintaining this action for a long time is a great test of one's strength and perseverance.

Chen Xu was originally born with divine power, but at first, he was just holding a four-meter-long wooden stick, and in less than half an hour, he couldn't hold on.

But Chen Xu knew that he didn't have extraordinary resourcefulness, and he didn't even know the words of this era.

In this troubled world, martial arts is the foundation of his survival, although Chen Xu has some brute strength, but without the guidance of a master, he can only slowly explore it by himself.

Combined with his understanding of cold weapon warfare, he specially made a wooden stick four meters long and weighing 45 catties for himself for training (at that time, one catty was equivalent to 224 grams now, and a 45-kilogram wooden stick was equivalent to about 20 catties now).

In the romance, it is said that Zhang Fei's spear is one zhang eight, which is equivalent to 4. 2 meters, in ancient times where cold weapons were the mainstay, especially in cavalry combat, the length of weapons was particularly important.

As the saying goes, 'one inch long, one inch strong', weapons are the soul of military generals, Chen Xu in order to be able to control long weapons in the future, in the past month, he has been constantly breaking through his limits.

The time for Chen Xuping to lift the wooden stick has changed from half an hour to two hours now.

The rest of his free time, he has to keep practicing the basic skills of marksmanship such as piercing, blocking, collapsing, pointing, piercing, splitting, ringing, picking, and plucking, and his arms will become red and swollen every day.

Fortunately, there is a prince in the village who is a veteran of the army, and he will use herbs to reduce swelling and pain, otherwise Chen Xu will definitely hurt his body with such a high-intensity exercise.

Gradually, Chen Xu felt that his strength was constantly increasing, and his body coordination was greatly enhanced, and he could flatten a four-meter-long wooden stick for a long time.

In order to increase the difficulty of training, he deliberately tied a basket to the front end of the wooden stick to increase the weight little by little.

Explained by the law of leverage in later generations, every time a little weight is added to the basket, the weight that Chen Xu bears will increase several times.

Chen Xu in later generations did nothing, but he didn't want to spend this life anymore, he wanted to win a reputation in this troubled world through his own efforts.

Looking at Chen Xu, who was getting thinner and thinner, Chen Jing couldn't help but persuade: "Big brother, you also have to rest, your body will be unbearable if you continue like this." ”

Not only Chen Xu, Chen Hu saw that Chen Xu practiced martial arts so hard, and he didn't exercise day and night, and now the two of them have lost a whole weight.

Then, Chen Jing said without saying anything: "And because of the daily training of the young people in the village, the amount of food has increased greatly, and many families in the village have little food left......

He still had something to say, that is, if there was no solution, the children of the clan who had been trained for a month might be disbanded.

Putting down the wooden stick in his hand and slowly walking to the water tank, Chen Xu looked at the emaciated figure in the reflection, raised his hand and touched his face, and smiled bitterly.

Everyone felt incredible about Chen Xu's almost masochistic exercise, how could they know Chen Xu's worries?

In 184 A.D., the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

Although he didn't know that the fifth year of Guanghe was the year of A.D., he was very familiar with the name of Guanghe, and he was sure that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not far off.

Troubled times are coming, if there is no martial arts, let alone meritorious service, even if it is your own net worth, it is difficult to save your life.

Therefore, Chen Xu is very eager to improve his strength.

Why didn't he know that he couldn't go on like this?

Practicing martial arts is not just a blind exercise, as the so-called 'poor literature and rich martial arts', if the person who practices martial arts does not have enough meat, herbs, can not supplement nutrition, regulate the body, will leave irreparable dark wounds.

Turning to stare at Chen Jing, Chen Xu's voice was sonorous and powerful: "Ah Jing, everyone has been training for a month, and they finally have some effects, and they must not be dispersed like this." ”

"But ......"

Waving his hand, Chen Xu interrupted Chen Jing's words: "There is nothing but that, the people in the village do not have enough food at home, so we can go up to the mountains to hunt." ”

Chen Xu had already thought about this matter, but the children of the clan had no meat to train every day, and it would never be feasible for a long time.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, survive another month, and when the grain is harvested, each family will be much richer.

Although Chen Jing respects her brother, she is also quite assertive.

Although there are many places to hunt in Puyang, there are many hunters now, and there are fewer and fewer prey that can be hunted.

The children of the clan were not born in Orion, and even if they went out of the nest, they might not be able to hit some prey, so they immediately expressed their worries.

Chen Xu picked up the wooden scoop, scooped a scoop of water, and poured it into his mouth: "What my brother is worried about, don't I know?" Puyang is adjacent to Chenliu, and I want to take the children of the clan to hunt in the Crouching Tiger Ridge in Chenliu (the place name is apocryphal, don't take it seriously). ”

"Crouching Tiger Ridge?" Chen Jing shouted loudly.

There is more than one fierce tiger in the Crouching Tiger Ridge, and it is rumored that there are many poisonous insects and beasts there, and even the most powerful hunters in the mountains dare not go in to hunt.

"Fierce beasts are rampant in Crouching Tiger Ridge, if the children of the clan go a little missed, what will happen?"

"This is inappropriate."

Looking at Chen Jing with appreciation, Chen Xu patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

Drying the water stains from the corners of his mouth, Chen Xu moved his muscles and bones.

Chen Jing's worries, how did he not know? It was precisely because no one dared to go to Crouching Tiger Ridge to hunt that Chen Xu wanted to take everyone there.

As the saying goes: people are not rich without windfalls, and horses are not fertile without night grass.

There is a lot of prey there, and if the Chen family children go there, they will definitely get a lot of harvest, and the meat of the prey can not only be used as food for the clansmen to improve their lives, but also to sell the furs and make a windfall.

He was very satisfied with Chen Jing's performance, but he would not change his mind because of Chen Jing's opposition.

"If you don't go to Crouching Tiger Ridge to hunt, you won't have the money and food to sustain the children of the clan to practice martial arts, and the fruits of my hard work in the past month will be in vain, Ah Jing, are you willing?"

Chen Jing naturally would not be reconciled.

He has always had great ambitions, and he finally brought the young people of the clan together, if he disbanded it, how could he be willing?

"What is the matter with us gathering the children of the clan to practice martial arts diligently? Don't you want to make a career in the future? ”

However, working hard every day is tantamount to working behind closed doors. A soldier who has never seen blood, who has not wandered between life and death, can never be a true warrior.

"I will gather the children of the clan, go and stay at their choice, if you are willing to follow me, I Chen Xu will ensure their safety to the greatest extent, if we are united, just animals, what are you afraid of?"

Chen Xu said this, picked up the wooden stick, stabbed it on the ground, and suddenly, the front end of the entire wooden stick was not in the soil.

Chen Jing's pupils shrank, he knew that his eldest brother was brave, but he didn't expect that after a month of training, his eldest brother's strength was even better than before.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Jing raised his head and said, "If the eldest brother insists on this, Jing dares to disobey his orders?" If my brother asks for anything, even if he comes, he should do his best to help him. ”

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Chen Xu smiled with relief, feeling that he had come to this era, and having two brothers, Ah Hu and Ah Jing, was the best gift from God to him.

Chen Xu was not verbose, he had heard that Chen Jing had a friend of Orion who was quite extraordinary in hunting, so he wanted Chen Jing to invite this person to go to Crouching Tiger Ridge with the children of the Chen family.

Chen Jing was silent at first, and then said; "Li Guo is quite brave and righteous, if I invite him, he will definitely not refuse."

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "In this way, it is annoying that Ajing will invite Li Jun here, if there is a harvest, I will never lose him." ”

At present, he was scheduled to go to Wohu Ridge in two days, Chen Jing went to invite Li Guo, Chen Xu informed Chen Hu of his idea, and then the two gathered the children of the clan.

Everyone came to the place of martial arts, they were a little inexplicable, usually at this time, everyone went home to rest, no need to continue to exercise, but I don't know what Chen Xu called everyone today, the simple martial arts arena suddenly became a little noisy.

Chen Xu walked in front of everyone, stretched out his hands and pressed down in the air, and the martial arts arena was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Chen Xu in front.

"Thanks to the love of all the brothers, Chen Xu is not talented, and he gathered everyone to practice martial arts, but I also know the situation of each family in the village."

Chen Xu looked at the young faces below and spoke.

"Daily training, so that your family food is unsustainable, Xu feels deeply guilty, here, Chen Xu apologizes to everyone present and the elders in the village, I hope you don't have to complain about me."

After speaking, Chen Xu made a gesture to everyone in the audience.

"Da Lang speaks like this, doesn't he underestimate my children from Chenjia Village? Meng Dalang is wrong to love, willing to gather us together to practice martial arts and learn skills, I am not grateful, how can I complain with you? Da Lang is not ashamed of us when he fights with us? ”

As soon as Chen Xu finished speaking, he saw a young man take a step forward and said sharply.

Chen Xu raised his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was Chen Qing, who had just turned 20 years old, and he was also quite prestigious among the young people in the clan.

"Yes, Da Lang, the food is unsustainable, my own family is poor, what do you do with Da Lang? With such words, Da Lang Xiu wants to mention it again. ”

"It is precisely because of the embarrassment of life that we are willing to learn skills from Da Lang, so that we can make a name for ourselves in the future, 'princes and generals, rather have a kind of'?"

……

As soon as Chen Qing's words fell, the teenagers in the martial arts arena spoke one after another.

"There is not enough food, so I will eat less later, so that you teenagers can be fed. I have a surplus of food in my house, and I can eat in my house if I have no food. ”

There were also many village adults around the martial arts arena who came to watch, and when they heard Chen Xu's words, one of the men immediately spoke.

As soon as the man's voice fell, the onlookers also responded. In their eyes, the children in the martial arts arena are the future of Chenjiacun, if they can learn a skill, even if only one person has a chance in the future, Chenjiacun's life will be much better.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, some families already knew that if their children continued to train, it would be difficult for them to support the autumn harvest, but no one asked their children to stop training.

Hearing everyone's words, Chen Xu's eyes were a little moist, this is Chenjia Village, simple, united and motivated, everyone is like this, why worry that the children of the Chen family can't get ahead?

Stopping everyone's words, Chen Xu said loudly: "I intend to take the children of the Chen family to Crouching Tiger Ridge to hunt tigers, firstly, to exercise everyone's actual combat ability, and secondly, to sell the prey and raise some money for the village." ”

As soon as Chen Xu's voice fell, the whole hall was shocked, and the children of the Chen family and the onlookers in the martial arts arena were a little at a loss......
