Time passed day by day, and soon it was time to go back.

Early in the morning, Fang Qiuling changed his clothes after washing up, and walked out of the carriage with a refreshing body.

It was about seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still slightly dark. In the Agarwar Valley in winter, the sun doesn't come over until around half past seven. In the summer, the sun rises before five o'clock.

Although the sun has not yet risen, there is already a bit of noise in the village, which is not as noisy as before.

The kittens are jogging around the village in a neat line and shouting loud slogans. Their instructor, Old Tom, was carrying a wooden stick in his hand, knocking on the ground for a while.

Old Tom is not young, but he is still extremely energetic. There are even times when young people's energy can't compare to him, such as Fang Qiuling in the slack period! After staying in the small mountain village for a long time, old Tom felt uncomfortable and couldn't hold back to find something to do.

Heavy snow has covered all the roads outside the village. The traditional activities of the mountain village farmhouse: fishing, hunting, and picking wild vegetables, are completely inactive. Traditional Farmhouse Programs: The Great Wall and Fighting the Landlord, sorry, these two programs have not yet been "invented" in Elune. Fang Qiuling, as a young man with four talents, is not interested in being a "gambling king", "gambling god" and "gambling god" in the other world for the time being, so he has no plans to "invent" mahjong and playing cards.

There is no traditional quintessence of the world, so I have to play the local "board game" of Elune. Elune also has chess-like board games. Putting on the "cart and horse cannon", Old Tom was first abused by Lily, and then tried it with newcomer Fang Qiuling, the scene was slightly better than Lily, but he still lost one game after another. Then he changed to Shino, and he was still abused. In the end, I played a few sets with Eliza, but I still lost more and won less.

Old Tom was furious...... Sorry, he couldn't get angry in front of Eliza. Eliza pouted her lips and her eyes were teary-eyed, and old Tom immediately surrendered. Although she is only an adopted daughter, there is no doubt that Old Tom is also a daughter slave.

I always lose when I play chess, so the more I play, the more depressed I become. Old Tom decisively flipped the table and went to find some "manual work" to sit down. However, traditional activities cannot be moved, and there is nowhere to find physical work.

After going around in circles, old Tom found nothing. However, when he saw the kittens playing the game of "generals fighting", his eyes lit up and he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to organize the kittens together for basic militia training.

- Kids! Get in practice!

"That's it! Speed, speed! Hurry, hurry, hurry! And the last ten laps! The old rule is that the first to finish eating first, and the last three are responsible for washing the dishes! ”

"Meow!"

The kitten charms shouted, like bees that had been stabbed in their nests, and they all poured out at once. The originally neat queue became chaotic in an instant, and they rushed to charge one by one.

The first three-thirds of a morning run are jogging in a queue that focuses on neat formation to foster a sense of community. The last third is a race run, which is used to cultivate a sense of honor for the purpose of competing for the first place. Of course, if you want to cultivate a sense of community and honor, a little punishment is also necessary.

- Washing dishes.

This work must be done every day, and every kitten charm has taken its turn, nothing special. But if this working day is "set" as a punishment item, then the kitten charms will immediately become extremely resistant. It's not that kittens are lazy and unwilling to wash dishes. It's that they don't like washing dishes at all. There is no way to do it when it is the turn to be on duty, everyone will take their turn, it is necessary, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, being punished for washing dishes because he ran a countdown in the morning exercise is completely different in nature.

Seeing that the friends were full, he threw the plate in front of him arrogantly, and then clapped his hands and left. This humiliation...... Who can hold back who is a puppy! Although the kittens are not tall, each little guy is extremely proud. Especially the male kitten charms, they can be said to be veritable "violent elements", and they can usually raise their tails higher than the sky when they have nothing to do. Now I was actually punished by the instructor to wash the dishes, which is an absolute shame!

What's more, after watching the process of washing dishes once, a certain big brother used "extremely vicious" language to evaluate the lack of seriousness of the kitten charms. And then very "enthusiastically" put forward the standards that must be met for washing dishes, and after obtaining the approval of the devil instructor, it became a basic requirement for daily life, which is simply ...... It's just too bullying!

- We're going to protest, meow!

- We refuse corporal punishment!

- We don't like to wash dishes!

The protests of the kitten charms continued, but Old Tom was very satisfied with the current punishment method of "punishing the dishes". There is no particular reason for this, just because this method of punishment works well. After washing the dishes once, a few of the most out-of-the-box guys immediately became honest and immediately settled down. For an old instructor like Tom Sr., punishment is not an end in itself, but a means, and it is through punishment again and again that recruits remember which mistakes are absolutely not to be made. If you do, then you will be punished, a punishment that is absolutely impressive.

Old Tom expressed his dissatisfaction with Fang Qiuling's daily life requirements, the way of saying "yin and yang" from time to time, and the style of doing things that he likes to keep one hand, and so on, and expressed his dissatisfaction with it, but he always maintained the greatest respect for Fang Qiuling's ideas and ideas that popped up from time to time.

He thinks so: the guys who can call themselves "scholars" generally have all kinds of habits, for their various habits, what we should do is to be as tolerant as possible, and then let them use their wisdom as much as possible, especially in various research, as much as possible to meet their requirements, and find and choose things that meet their own needs - this is the respect, attitude, and mentality that we ordinary people should have in the face of "scholars".

Of course, this rhetoric is "translated". Old Tom's exact words were: Stinky boy, just say what to do, take the simplest and most effective way to come out, don't mess with all those bells and whistles, useless things!

Most of the time, Fang Qiuling's ideas and methods were easily approved by Old Tom. Especially a lot of old Tom knows how to do it, but doesn't know why he does it. When chatting a few days ago, Fang Qiuling threw out a concept that has become more popular in recent years: happy education. Very rarely, this concept was ridiculed by old Tom and sprayed on the skin.

Fang Qiuling doesn't remember which scholar in the world proposed this idea, but looking at the name of this concept "happy education", you can know what the core of this concept is, and you can discuss it with Old Tom.

For the educated, that is, the kitten charms, the concept of happy education has received unanimous welcome from them and has been well received. But with Old Tom, Mr. Hudnar, who has the name of the Devil's Instructor, thinks that this idea is a stinking mass of garbage.

——Training and education, how can there be no hardship? If you don't suffer a little, how can you learn skills?

All along, Old Tom trained the militia viciously to the death. Of course, practicing to the death means that the training intensity is very high, and the upper limit of physical fitness is reached as much as possible, not really to train people to death and be disabled. It's not okay to really train people to death or be disabled, after all, they are all villagers, and they will not look up and look down when they go out in the future.

In this regard, Fang Qiuling argued for it at first. However, after saying a few words, Fang Qiuling did not refute it. Because the education he received when he was a child was also a strict education, although it was not very strict when teaching the kitten charms alchemy, it definitely had nothing to do with happy education, and if he didn't do well, he would be punished.

In terms of happy education, Fang Qiuling actually came up with no convincing proof......

Very rarely, Tom Sr. won once in a debate with "Stinky Boy". This made him very happy, and it seemed that everyone was several years younger.

As soon as Old Tom was happy, he shouted that he wanted to teach some serious dry goods, which were secret skills that could not be taught normally.

Originally, it was said that it would only teach kitten charms, but maybe this so-called "cheats" might be able to mix an active skill, so Fang Qiuling was cheeky and watched from the sidelines. After an afternoon of observation, the kitten charms had basically learned, and Fang Qiuling also found a new line of words in his skill column: Atropa Battle Array Swordsmanship.

- Atropa Battle Array Swordsmanship.

This is a battle formation swordsmanship practiced by the soldiers of the Kingdom Knights, a collective attack swordsmanship based on charging and stabbing. Pay attention to the team attack of more and less, and fast and slow. This sword art is designed to take on large targets such as minotaurs, ogres, etc., so that soldiers are not helpless against large creatures.

- New Skills to Start!

This is a joy outside of it. However, with the acquisition of this skill, the time for Fang Qiuling to return to the present world has also arrived—this is the real happiness.

"Thuric, you're going back today. When to go? ”

"Hmm. Had breakfast, rested for a while and left. ”

"That'...... Are you still coming back? ”

Old Tom's stick, which kept tapping on the ground, stopped. But at the moment, he was lying on his back, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

"Of course." Fang Qiuling replied in a brisk tone, "I'm a pioneer knight, a man who wants to reclaim the Black Forest. How could I not come back? From here, it's much closer to the Black Forest than it was from my hometown. What's more, I haven't found enough partners yet. This place in the Black Forest, no matter how big I can, can't do it. ”

"Hehe......" Old Tom raised his face slightly, "then count me in." I hadn't left Mist Lake in a long time and was out for a walk. ”

"No problem, welcome, welcome." Fang Qiuling slapped Old Tom on the shoulder, "I can welcome a veteran like Daddy Xiang very much...... Daddy, what's wrong with you? It can't be a moving cry, right? ”

The hand on his shoulder could feel tremble slightly, and Fang Qiuling couldn't help but start joking. There was only one word in response to him.

"Get out!"

Hit by Old Tom's lion's roar, Fang Qiuling turned his head and ran.

The small mountain village is not big, and it will come to an end after a lap. When I looked up, the largest house in the village, the big canteen, arrived.

The large canteen is the only two-storey building in the village. In addition to the function of dining, this two-storey building will also make guest appearances in the meeting hall, the meeting hall for the whole village meeting, the indoor martial arts arena, and the Chase Bunk where the kittens sleep at night......

In fact, the building is a dojo, a dojo for training boxers. Grand Elder Li Nange Rune was the chief teacher of the dojo. When he was young, Grand Elder Nange also traveled far away, and he had a very rich life experience, and the number of students who practiced with him once exceeded 100. It's just that now the Great Elder is old, and his legs and feet are no longer very flexible, so he can no longer teach new boxer students. And Fang Qiuling, in a certain bad taste, called the dojo a big canteen.

At this moment he shrugged his shoulders and shook it in very casually.

The eastern sky is beginning to glow, and the sun is gradually rising. The largest number of little ones in the village are making the final sprint around the village, and it will be a while before they come, and there are very few people and meows in the big cafeteria at the moment.

On the large table in the center, a large pot is emitting the smell of hot rice. Around the cauldron are small plates with sections of dark pickles.

"Good morning, Brother Thulick."

Eliza's pretty figure came out of the back room.

As if she knew that Fang Qiuling was going back today, Eliza deliberately dressed up, not only changed into a beautiful little leather skirt, but also put on a little makeup.

"Good morning, Eliza." Fang Qiuling smiled and touched Eliza's head, and easily messed up the little cat girl's neat hair, "Eliza is so beautiful today." Don't you like your brother Thulick, wait for Brother Thulick to have a celebration as soon as Brother Thulick leaves. ”

"Nope! Not really! ”

Eliza's little face suddenly bulged. She hurriedly got rid of Fang Qiuling's claws, jumped far away, and hid to the side to fix her hair.

Lily pushed open the door of the back room and walked out with a small pot. When she saw Fang Qiuling talking to Eliza, her eyes lit up.

"Hey! Have you had breakfast? ”

“…… Not yet. ”

Fang Qiuling understood at a glance, this is the rhythm of a loving breakfast. Old routine, nothing new.

"I just cooked some porridge, would you like to try it?"

"yes, okay."

Fang Qiuling knew very well that if he dared to say no, Lily would definitely force it into his mouth, and it was not unusual for him to even splash it directly. So it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate.

"Come, come, try my craft!"

Lily poured out a bowl of white rice paste from the small pot, courteously pulled Fang Qiuling to sit down at the table, and then handed over a small wooden spoon.

The cats' breakfast is a small bowl of batter and a few salty, non-salty, sour pickles. Fang Qiuling had been teaching for several days, and he didn't think it was strange.

Pick up the spoon, scoop up the rice cereal and blow it slightly, then put it in your mouth.

Fang Qiuling's hand holding the spoon stiffened slightly, and then it naturally fell, scooping up a spoonful.

"How's it taste?"

"Hmm......" Fang Qiuling nodded, "Feeling...... It smells of home. ”

"Great!" Lily was overjoyed and put down the pot, "I'll go change my clothes and I'll be here in a moment." ”

"Let's go."

Lily jumped away like a little girl.

When Lily pushed the door out, Fang Qiuling's casual expression immediately collapsed. He hurriedly picked up a bottle of water, poured a full cup and poured it into his mouth.

"Brother Thurik, what's wrong with you?"
