Chapter 12: The Little General

"If you can earn a hundred taels ......," Liu Heng said smoothly, and after waking up, he sneered: "You brag again." ”

It's so easy to make money, he doesn't believe it.

"Hmph, if you succeed in catching up with Ming, you will call me grandpa in the future!" the old voice shouted, "Okay, remember to change your clothes when you go out tomorrow morning, and I'll leave this matter to me!"

It was already evening, smoke was curling everywhere, the aroma of each family's food aroused people's appetite, and the grocery store at the street entrance had already closed, and it should be about the same time as Liu Heng usually went home.

At the end of the alley, the door was open, and a young woman in a skirt stood in front of the door, greeting her with a gentle smile, Liu Heng was stunned for a moment.

"Mother!"

"Where are you going to play crazy again?" The young woman passed by Liu Heng as if she hadn't seen it, carefully patted the dust on her body for the child behind Liu Heng, and complained in her mouth: "The family is waiting for you to eat, and I don't know how soon to get home." ”

Turning his head and about to see Liu Heng, he turned around and took a look, both of them felt embarrassed. After all, he has been a neighbor for more than ten years, and he has been hit so dead every day when he looks up and doesn't look down, and it is really unreasonable to pretend not to see it, Liu Heng simply took the lead in giving his hand, "Aunt Gu." ”

The daughter-in-law of the Gu family bent her knees slightly, bowed her head and said, "I've seen the little general." ”

Usually it is such a strange name, but today it made Liu Heng feel a little touched, and he sighed in his heart, he is no longer a little general.

He didn't bother to explain this matter to others, so he smiled, "Auntie is polite", and turned to leave.

"Little general, mother, his name is so strange, it's the first time I've known it. The child was only four years old, holding Gu's hand, and looked at Liu Heng's back curiously, "Then should I call him Brother Little General?"

Gu Shi, who still had some pity on his face, changed his expression when he heard this, pulled him home quickly, and reprimanded him in vain, "Don't ask nonsense if you don't know, I don't allow you to say a word to him, otherwise you will be beaten up, do you hear?"

was scolded inexplicably, the child was frightened, threw himself into the arms of the grandfather who ushered him, and cried with a pout.

A few meters to the left, in the middle of a gray-brown stone wall with moss, the old wooden door with paint off, this is the Liu family, usually at this time He Bo will greet him at the door, today is nowhere to be seen, but the door is wide open.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two sharp eyes staring at him, Liu Heng's heart tightened, "The official has come to the door!"

I don't know if it was the big case of the imperial envoy and eunuch being assassinated last night, or the rescue soldiers moved by Zhao Jing's family, or both.

"It's just in time, be honest!"

On the stone table in the courtyard, Uncle He was squeezed in the middle, and the two officials sat with a golden knife, and the Xueliang long knife from the sheath was placed horizontally on the table, which made this voice ask Liu Heng viciously, which added a lot of prestige.

If it were an ordinary child, he might have been intimidated by this dismount, but Liu Heng was naturally not afraid, and asked in surprise: "What do you explain?"

"We have received a tip-off that the imperial envoy's big case was done by your family's angry hired people, so we should quickly explain it clearly, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin before we die. ”

It turned out to be this matter, and Liu Heng became more calm in his heart. In fact, Liu Heng knew as soon as he heard it, and he wanted to bluff people, which shows that the official has no clues at all, and it is nothing more than a routine matter to eliminate suspicion.

"I only found out about the assassination of the envoy this morning. Liu Heng looked aggrieved, "Our family is old, young, and has long lost relatives, how much does it cost to hire someone to do such a big case? Where did our family get so much money, and I don't dare to say it! I'm scared just to hear it, it won't involve our family, right?"

"I can't tell!"

Liu Heng was telling the truth, and the two officials also knew that the imperial envoy had already announced a lot of "Tui En Holy Decree" in front of him, and many wealthy and noble families had suffered this time, and there were too many nobles who had offended. So although the incident happened near Liu'an County, the Liu family, which is the closest to it, has few people and is weak, but the suspect is the least.

Two more sentences of intimidation, so that the two were strictly forbidden to go out of the city, and the two officials sent Shi Shi to leave.

"That's the end of the day, it's more than half of the past. Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, got up to close the door, and vaguely heard the casual chatter of the official outside the door.

"I don't think that kid is simple, I don't panic at all when I meet us, I'm so calm at this age, I've seen him for the first time. ”

"After all, he was a nobleman, and it is normal for him to have more knowledge than ordinary children. ”

"It's true, I heard that the rich general's family in Linxian County has just been on the ** stall, and I'm annoyed......"

"Those killers made a windfall this time just by eating the rich, but it's a pity that the Liu family in our county is too poor, and obviously can't squeeze oil and water, otherwise we will toss back and forth a few times, which is enough to eat a lifetime of ......"

Liu Heng was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and he knew for the first time that there was no money, and there was also the benefit of no money.

This matter is really very involved, but fortunately, it should have nothing to do with their family.

"What shit luck!" the old man muttered, and Liu Heng didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Eat and eat. He Bo smiled and arranged the food, and didn't pay attention to the matter of the official sending into the house, and sure enough, the ginger was still old and spicy.

It was still a gruel with wild vegetables, thinking of the embarrassment in the future, Liu Heng didn't say anything critical. Anyway, even if it is gruel, Uncle He makes it delicious, with a rich taste and a long aftertaste.

"Didn't anything happen when I went to the academy today?"

"Eun, it's all good. Liu Heng drank porridge and replied vaguely, hesitating whether to confess his resignation, but he didn't want to hurt Uncle He's heart, so he could only lie against his will.

He Bo shouldn't have thought that Liu Heng would lie to him, so he was fooled by Liu Heng like this.

"This rice, this dish ......" The old man's voice suddenly spoke, and he sighed inexplicably, "It's still a noble family!"

Liu Heng didn't listen to it, he only felt that the crazy old ghost was sneering, and he didn't answer at all.

After eating quickly, Liu Heng immediately slipped into the study, because looking at Uncle He, he always felt uncomfortable, so it was better to avoid it as soon as possible.

"Okay, everyone else starts to lay the foundation from the mother's womb, you are only like learning martial arts at this age, you are already old, there are too many differences, and you can only rely on diligence to make up for your clumsiness. The old man's voice urged, "Don't delay, your body is too weak, practice a hundred push-ups first." ”

"You also know how to practice martial arts?" Liu Heng was suspicious and mocking, "What are push-ups?"

"I don't know anything and I want to learn martial arts......"

The old voice laughed mercilessly at Liu Heng's ignorance, and impatiently began to teach Liu Heng the action of propping himself up from the ground, Liu Heng only felt that it was strange, and he didn't understand what he was going to do, but he seemed to be being played by the old ghost as an idiot.

"This, what kind of martial arts is this?"

Liu Heng was a little annoyed and angry, and was about to get up, but he heard the old voice sneer: "You'll know if you do ten." ”

After thinking about it, it was okay to leave and right anyway, at most, he was played more ruthlessly, and Liu Heng did the same, but he didn't expect that it was only five or six, and he felt that his hands seemed to be stiff, and he couldn't use his strength anymore.

"It's so empty!" the old ghost began to laugh to his heart's content, "I still want to learn martial arts, my foundation is too poor, it's almost like a cripple!"

"It's a bit weird. Liu Heng lay on the ground and gasped, "Everything is more and more active, I am usually busy reading, I don't do any work, and my body has been wasted for too long." This action should be used to train the strength of the body, to strengthen the body, and it should make some sense. ”

Thinking of this, he continued to do it.

"That's right, if you want to learn martial arts well, a strong body is a prerequisite. Depending on your condition, it's all halved today...... Who told you to rest? You can only rest once every ten!"

With the supervision of the old ghost, Liu Heng is constantly overcoming his weakness.

"And frog jumping!

......

"Then sit-ups, waist exercises, fifty!"

......

"Finally, take a step to exercise the stability of your body!"

After stepping and returning to the bed with difficulty, Liu Heng only felt that his whole body was not his own, and he couldn't command his whole body, and he seemed to have been cleaned up by someone, and there was no place without soreness, swelling, pain, and discomfort.

When he recalled the exercise, the discomfort of the body stimulated him to give up again and again, and he struggled more and more violently in his heart, giving up was losing to himself, and every time he insisted on it was a victory, this experience made him happy and faintly insightful.

"It's, it's been fighting with myself. ”

Relaxed, tiredness was like a tide, and in a blink of an eye, he was completely drowned.

"It's still a little tough, it's a pity that I'm too old, but fortunately, I will be the old man with me......" The old ghost was muttering again, but Liu Heng, who had slept to death, couldn't hear it.

The next morning, after Liu Heng woke up, he found that his spirit was surprisingly good, and his body was still a little sore, but he obviously felt a trace of strength, which was completely different from before.

"Remember to change into your most particular clothes, preferably with a small wooden case. ”

Suddenly, an old voice came out lazily, startling Liu Heng, and then he recalled yesterday's bizarre encounter, he was haunted by a crazy old ghost.

"I thought it was a dream...... Liu Heng muttered helplessly, and then he was curious: "What are you going to do?"

"Nonsense, take you to make money!"

If it were yesterday, Liu Heng would only treat him as crazy and not believe half a word, but after the exercise he received yesterday, he felt the obvious effect, and Liu Heng finally trusted the words of the crazy old ghost a little more.

"Try to be afraid of what, whatever. Liu Heng comforted himself, followed the old ghost's words, turned out his most valuable little leather jacket, and found the small wooden box containing his toys.

"Young Master is really in good spirits today!"

In Uncle He's praise, he quickly finished breakfast, and responded to Uncle He's earnest shout of "study hard", Liu Heng, who went out with a small wooden box, was full of thoughts and thoughts were occupied by the word "make money", and he was in a hurry.

"Tell me, how to make money?"
