Chapter 3 Teenage Ambition

Chapter 3 Young Ambition (This chapter is free)

After the history class, which always has repetitive content, the afternoon class is about martial arts training. 26nbsp; Paying equal attention to both civil and martial arts is the basic spirit of this school. After the morning arts class is over, the afternoon martial arts training is

In middle school, students are free to choose their favorite martial arts, whether it is fists, kicks, swords, internal skills or light skills. There are teaching materials in the school for study and practice.

The so-called teaching materials are all martial arts secrets from various schools, and some of them are even considered highly confidential. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a private elementary school of Liangshanbo's size to collect too much information. However, Liangshanbo's

The special humanistic background provides a good environment for the school. The new immigrants caused by the Taiping Army's "rebellion" come from all over the world. The martial arts they practice include various schools and sects, and the scope is extremely broad. When these people put their own

Writing down martial arts experiences and providing them as teaching materials for schools is virtually the richest asset.

At present, the most complete subjects in the school's collection are not swords and fists, but the internal skills and mental methods of various sects. Because the magic weapon holder must constantly consume energy to maintain the operation of the magic weapon, in order to reduce the burden on the body, it is best to

Improve your own internal strength. The stronger your internal strength, the more you can withstand the damage caused by magic weapons to your body.

In every afternoon martial arts class, almost 90% of the students find their own place to practice internal skills, because almost all of them are the sons of remnants of the Taiping Army. What their fathers taught them are also the skills of operating magic weapons.

A large number of magic weapons are used in Shangliangshanbo to assist daily life, so what everyone thinks about is how to use the magic weapons for a long time and maximize their effectiveness.

Compared with many classmates, Sun Wu's elective course is very puzzling. He did not practice superior internal skills, nor did he practice the fastest-effective fists, feet, and swords. However, from the first elective course, he fell into a skill that could be used.

Hard qigong and golden bell can be described as boring.

The body-protecting hard skills passed down from Cihang Jingdian, the largest sect in the world, can be regarded as the number one brand among all kinds of body-protecting horizontal training kung fu. If we do not consider some of the body-protecting miraculous skills that only exist in legends, the Golden Bell

The shield can even be said to be the number one protective skill in Middle-earth.

Having said that, compared to other superior martial arts, Golden Bell Cover can be said to be a rather conservative and even clumsy martial art. Generally speaking, superior internal martial arts are all about smooth breath, strengthening the foundation and cultivating the body, and after mastering it, it can be both offensive and defensive.

Even practicing Qinggong will be of great benefit, but the golden bell only focuses on resistance. Although the hardness of the protective body is unparalleled in the world, the practice time is very long, and the body shape will become more dignified and clumsy with practice. From a practical perspective,

Although the powerful buffalo is not weak, it can never become a tiger or leopard. Therefore, among the four magical skills of Cihang Jingdian, the golden bell ranks last.

In the entire school, Sun Wu is the only one who has chosen the Golden Bell Shield, and has been training hard to this day. At the earliest, some villagers were concerned and asked why he did not choose other more powerful martial arts, but chose a Kung Fu created purely for defense?

But later on, people wisely kept their mouths shut and never asked about the too obvious reason.

"Actually, you are really a boring person. When others were fourteen years old, all they could think about was practicing martial arts so that they could go out to 'rape', 'lew' and plunder, but you were bored and just practiced the Golden Bell.

Damn, don’t you think this is boring?”

"Xiao Shang, the purpose of practicing martial arts is to strengthen your body, not to fight with others. Life in Liangshanbo is so peaceful, so why do you practice peerless martial arts? Also, I want to say it carefully, people who practice peerless martial arts will never see you.

It must be for 'rape', 'harlot' and plunder, so don't think so darkly!"

"What can be done about this? I'm a psychopath."

"Do you still remember what you just said..."

A precocious wry smile appeared on the young man's face. At the earliest, he had had a dream, intending to find his own unique magical skills in the vast collection of books in the school, and after practicing successfully, he would become a great hero. However, due to the misfortune of his family and the

If you make friends accidentally, you will soon realize that peerless martial arts are not as good as practical martial arts. If you don't choose a practical martial arts with strong resistance early, then not only will you have no hope of having peerless martial arts one day, but you will not even have one soon.

tomorrow.

However, after practicing for a long time, Sun Wu felt that this was good. The Golden Bell Shield was a martial art with weak offensive power. As long as the Golden Bell Shield was practiced well, he would not be easily injured. If there was any conflict, he would

It's good not to get hurt, but it would be even better if you don't hurt anyone more.

From the mouths of some elders in the village, Sun Wu had a feeling that if he was injured once, it might take days, months, or even years to recover, but if he forged a deep hatred, it would not only be a burden

It is really scary to be entangled for a lifetime, maybe even for several generations.

Therefore, the embarrassing Kung Fu of the Golden Bell Cover, which requires beatings, is actually the safest and best martial arts. Although it is said that during practice, one has to soak in high-heat iron sand and hit the body continuously with a big wooden stick as thick as a bowl. It is really not easy, except for

In addition, you have to do the boring exercise of waving your palms horizontally ten thousand times a day, which is very difficult, but in short, over time, people gradually get used to it.

Like other children in the village, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. It has been ten years now. In the past ten years, other people will practice martial arts with different skills, but I practice martial arts day after day regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

I have almost never been exposed to other martial arts when practicing Golden Bell, and it may be boring and old-fashioned, but I like this feeling of repeated proficiency, as if I am not just practicing martial arts, but having an old friend who I have known for many years.

The head of the school told himself a few days ago that as for the Golden Bell Cover above the sixth level, it requires the cooperation of qualifications and opportunities. It is not possible to succeed just by practicing hard. Besides, there is no secret recipe for the sixth level and above in the village, so he can only give up for now.

But even though the Golden Bell is not very prominent, according to the historical records of Cihang Jingdian, it would normally take more than twenty years of hard training to reach the fifth level or above. However, I can reach the fifth level at a young age.

, if it reaches the outside world, it will be a big deal.

The progress is unexpectedly ahead of schedule. Should I say that I am talented? Or am I too accustomed to accepting things? This alone makes me feel a little sad when I think about it...

"Xiao Shang, aren't you practicing anything today?"

"I don't have anything to practice with."

Among all the students, Xiao Shang's martial arts subjects have always been a mystery. Not only can he repair magic weapons, Xiao Shang himself is also a developer of various magic weapons. He usually wears at least a dozen magic weapons on his body. With such a large amount of assembly, even if he is not using it

, it will still continue to deplete the vitality, and even a strong martial arts expert may not be able to withstand it, but Xiao Shang never seems to practice any internal skills to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality, and uses magic weapons at will regardless of common sense.

This is not the only incredible thing. Magical weapon developers are unique talents. If it were during the Taiping Army, they would have become super talents that the two countries competed for. Sun Wu himself could not figure out why so many people in his life

Craftsmen who have studied magic weapon technology for decades may not be able to become developers. How can a twelve-year-old girl have enough knowledge and skills to surpass them easily? This is really unreasonable.

Although they are childhood sweethearts, Sun Wu still dare not say that he knows Xiaoshang very well. He was brought to Liangshanbo by his sister when he was still a baby. He has never left since he became an adult. But this is not the case with Xiaoshang. Instead, when he was six years old, he was brought to Liangshanbo by his sister.

One day, new immigrants came to the village. A man in blue died in front of the stone monument after climbing the Yunlu Ladder to the entrance of Liangshanbo Village. There was also a four-year-old girl with a cold expression, standing next to the blood-stained body.

This is how Xiaoshang came to Liangshanbo. Later, under the arrangement of the village elder, he helped her build a hut to live alone. Sun Wu's sister Fengjie pitied her and often asked Sun Wu to bring three meals and daily necessities.

Xiao Shang was completely unwilling to accept it, but when Fengjie took action in person, kicked in the door of the wooden house and demolished it, ignored the girl's resistance, and forcibly took the girl home and tied her to a chair to eat, Xiao Shang accepted it generously from then on.

Due to Feng Jie's kindness, she often dines at Sun Wu's house, which indirectly makes Sun Wu's life dark.

"I still often feel that...in fact, your sister really doesn't want to achieve her goal, she won't give up, and she doesn't consider the legitimacy of her means at all."

"I also think...she has a great influence on you."

He sighed inadvertently and told the story of the young man's mental journey over the years, but even so, on the way home from school, Sun Wu still naturally invited Xiao Shang to go home with him and have dinner.

"If you're lucky tonight, you can eat my sister's specialty dish."

"The prerequisite is that the person is not drunk yet. In ten days, Sister Feng is rarely sober for a few days..."

Fengjie is known as the number one drunkard in Liangshanbo. She is famous for her love of wine and her drinking skills. She has brought her younger brother up drunkenly for many years. But most of the time, Sun Wu is responsible for cooking, cleaning and washing at home.

, after all, when his sister was drunk and lying on the floor as soon as she came home, the boy couldn't really expect her to do anything, so he had to do everything by himself.

The walk home from the school was not long. On the way, I also met many villagers who were returning home from farming. They were carrying hoes and walking in twos and threes talking. When they saw Sun Wu, they all smiled, greeted him cordially, and met him.

Let's go to his house for a drink together tonight.

Sun Wu liked this feeling very much. Both his parents died and he and his sister depended on each other, but he never felt lonely. Perhaps because of this feeling, everyone in the village was very kind and treated him well. The whole village seemed like

I have a big family, so I never feel lonely.

But these uncles and uncles don't just have kind faces. It was not long ago that I regretfully learned that they also had another expression...

"Xiao, Xiaoshang!"

"You...are you here too?"

"Hahahaha, then we won't disturb you. Mr. Xiao Shang, please walk slowly."

The expressions of the villagers who were originally smiling and gentle suddenly became frightened and uneasy, like mice after seeing a cat. After standing at attention and saying hello, they immediately ran away without looking back. This scene once made Sun Wu stunned, but now he

I'm already used to it.

"How do people do this? In fact, I have always been curious..."

"There is no special trick. Sister Feng said that managing people is like managing dogs. If you treat your guests as gods, they are gods; if you treat your guests as dogs, your guests will be dogs."

"So... our hotel's business has always been..."

When the two of them were talking, they had already returned home. Sun Wu's residence was a two-story wooden house. The upper floor was his residence, and the lower floor was a wine shop selling wine. There was a diamond-shaped sign with the word "wine" hanging on it.

It was blowing in the wind, and before I even got closer, the breeze brought a mellow smell of wine.

This was Sun Wu's family's livelihood in Liangshanbo, selling wine to make a living. Fengjie was an expert in wine making, so she dug a cellar under the house to make wine. As time went by, there were hundreds of jars of fine wines in the cellar, which everyone bought.

Although the quality of the goods is high and the liquidity of the goods is high, the income of the wine shop is not very good. Most of the time, it is just even or even a small loss because the proprietress brews and drinks her own wine and is in the mood.

I came here, opened the goods, and drank with the villagers. Of course, I didn’t need to charge any money. This kind of business attitude made it difficult to balance the accounts.

"Oh, Xiao Wu, you are back! My sister misses you so much!"

Just as he stepped into the door, a sweet and soft female voice came from the room, and then a hurricane came out, knocking down the wooden chairs and overturning the table. A huge black figure rushed towards him, like a big black bear in the jungle, and suddenly pounced on Sun Wu.

He fell to the ground and hugged her tightly.

The wine shop's business was not doing well, so Fengjie had to work part-time to earn extra money. She served as the village's morning announcer every morning. Her sweet magnetic voice was indeed, as she claimed, Liang Shanbo's first sex appeal.

Idol, but...only limited to voice.

If Xiaoshang's talent is the number one puzzle in Liang Shanbo, then Fengjie's voice is the number two. People who hear the morning broadcast for the first time will never believe that the owner of that magnetic voice is born like this

He is fat and ugly. Looking from a distance, his eyes are like beans, his nose is like a garlic, and his round and swollen face is like a big cake. With his fat body of over 100 kilograms, he looks like a walking mountain of meat, and even more so when he is angry.

It's some kind of huge beast, so powerful that it can tear down mountains and trees.

Just like at this moment, the boy who was hugged and kissed by his sister was completely out of breath, and there was absolutely no excitement at all. Even the bones in his body were so painful that they seemed to be crackling, coming from a distance.

Look, this is 100% the so-called "bear hug" strangulation, a kind of terrifying killing that is like being strangled by a giant bear around the waist, tightly strangled, and finally broken and died.

"Oh, sister, your hands... my waist..."

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, my sister has been thinking about you at home all day long, why did you come back only now? Without you, my sister doesn't even know what to do, woo woo woo..."

"Sister, you smell of alcohol all over your body. Have you been drinking since morning? Are you so happy to see me..."

There is no need to speculate, what you see in front of you is the fact. When Sun Wu walked in, the room was in a mess, tables and chairs were overturned, wine jars and bottles were covered, garbage was scattered everywhere, and several people were already extremely drunk.

The sober drinkers look like the remnants of a carnival.

The drunkards who fell to the ground were all regulars of the wine shop, and two of them were the most friendly with Sun Wu's family. The burly man named Hu was a butcher and butcher in the village, and he often exchanged pork and beef for wine.

Solve the daily problems of the Sun family; a white-robed scribe named Li makes a living by teaching in the school. When he has time, he will teach Sun Wu some poems and calligraphy. Both of them are unmarried and have no children, so they are particularly close to Sun Wu.

Although people often go to liquor stores, their ability to drink is not very good. Now one person is lying on the ground, and another person is lying on his back by the window, with half of his body hanging out. From Sun Wu's point of view, he drank all the wine until he passed away.

"I drink like this every day until I die... Oh, sister, please put me down, my waist is about to break..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I'm so miserable..."

"...Don't pretend to be pitiful, Xiao Shang learned this from you, and...if you don't let me go, no one will be able to help you clean these things..."

Hearing this fatal warning, the giant bear finally put down its prey, stepped aside obediently, and quickly picked up the still-empty wine jar, followed by a terrifying sound of a long whale sucking water.

Sun Wu stumbled back in a cold sweat, and almost fell down again. His sister's strength after drinking was too great, and the hug came without any warning. Although he tried his best to resist with Jin Zhongqing, as long as it lasted longer, he would not be able to survive.

At one point, Jin Zhongjin might have been strangled and injured.

"Sister Feng's hug seems to be more effective than hitting the body with a big wooden stick. You have reached the fifth level of the golden bell so quickly. She has helped you a lot, right?"

"...My waist almost broke just now."

This is the reason why it is necessary to practice the golden bell. In the past, during the day at school, Xiao Shang would always engage in dangerous explosions. When he got home in the afternoon, his drunk sister would come to give him a bear hug again. If he did not make his body as hard as iron, he might

He has long since become a disabled person.

Excellent Qinggong was once considered, but when my sister was drunk, she was like a wild bear with wild sex. She would not give up until she hugged someone. The result of chasing and running was that the furniture and furnishings in the house were completely destroyed.

, in the end I had to cut wood and redo it, which was too costly, so I had better practice the golden bell and let her hug it to minimize the damage caused by drunkenness and madness.

"Uncle Hu, wake up. The wine shop is closed. Come back tomorrow."

"Haha, Xiao Wu, I've caused you trouble again. Uncle Hu will give you pork tomorrow."

"Uncle Li, go back and sleep again. You really drank too much today."

"Xiao Wu, thank you...Evil, evil, evil, evil, evil~~~~~"

"...If possible, please don't vomit here..."

After waking up the drunk guests and sending them away, cleaning up the messy house, and starting the dinner preparations, Sun Wu was seen scooping water from the water tank, and while starting to cook the dishes, he used his free time to wipe the table and sweep the floor.

, the whole movement was unusually skillful. The fourteen-year-old boy was busy in and out of the house, as if he was a magician with extremely skillful skills. In just a few moments, the mess in the house disappeared little by little, and the table

There are more steaming dishes on top.

When Sun Wu took off his apron and brought the last fragrant grilled fish to the table, Xiao Shang had already helped Feng Jie, who had sobered up, to the table. The three of them gathered around the small round table, lighting candlelight, and started dinner. This familiar scene

The picture has been like this for many years, with sisters and Xiaoshang, just like other families. If it weren't for the usual prayers before meals, Sun Wu would almost forget that he was actually an orphan.

The prayer before the meal was mainly to pay tribute to three people, the parents who have passed away, and the village elder who is not currently in Liangshanbo. Fengjie told Sun Wu that since her parents died in a feud in Jianghu, she had brought the infant Sun Wu here.

He went to Liangshanbo to seek refuge with a distant relative, and that distant relative was the village elder here.

On the wall on the left side of the restaurant, three portraits are hung. The first two are of Sun Wu's deceased parents, but there are no specific images. They are just two grimaces drawn with scrawled brushwork. They seem to be quite happy, but they are used to commemorate them.

But the deceased parents seemed very disrespectful. The two paintings were written by Feng Jie. When Sun Wu was a child, he asked his sister what his parents looked like, but Feng Jie answered vaguely. When asked, she even became angry, which made Sun Wu understand that she was very

I didn't want to mention my parents or outside matters, so I stopped asking them later.

The last picture is not a portrait, but a black and white photo taken with a magic weapon. In the picture is an old man in military uniform with white beard and white hair. He looks very old, but he is very energetic and his waist is as straight as a pine.

His eyes were bright and bright, and the scars on his face and arms showed that he had experienced many battles in the past, but his cheerful expression made people feel his fun and cheerfulness.

Dad is getting older and his health is not very good, especially at night. Some old and chronic diseases make him very weak. Sometimes he even seems to be a different person. But as long as the daytime comes and the sun comes out, Dad is like a god in the sky.

Radiating heat like the sun.

The mantra of the village elder is "As long as a man is still alive, he must pursue his dreams." Although he is old, he is full of enthusiasm and vitality. His favorite hobby in the past was to take Sun Wu and Xiao Shang with him and walk on special shoes.

The magic weapon of skateboarding, riding the wind and surfing on the sea of ​​clouds outside the village, was not replaced by a new hobby until a few years ago.

The old man in the picture is not standing or sitting on a chair, but astride a tall mechanical weapon. This heavy-duty motorcycle called "Harley" is faster than a galloping horse and can float briefly.

Flying in the air, it was an important ordnance during the "rebellion" of the Taiping Army. After its collapse, it was scattered among the people. There is only one in Liangshanbo. It is the private collection of the village elder. It was already decayed, but it was repaired by Xiao Shang. From then on, the village elder

I go out traveling on my Harley and only come back once or twice a year.

In the past, when the village elder was still alive, he liked Sun Wu and Xiao Shang very much. He would laugh and play with them all day long, surfing, or playing pranks on the villagers. The passionate and unrestrained old man had no age or temperament at all.

Because of the status barrier, he completely let go of his airs when having fun, and even seemed a bit disrespectful to others. Sun Wu felt very embarrassed at the time, but when the village elder's father traveled away for many years, he began to feel lonely.

Although my sister and I are close, the village elder... is like a father that I don't have. When he is around, a certain part of my heart is filled, and I will never think of leaving the village. But this is

No, the older I get, the more I feel that boys should be independent and not rely on others, even if they are as close as family members. If leaving the village is the first step to independence, then I have to take the step out no matter what.

Dad's Harley motorcycle needs maintenance and adjustment. Every once in a while, he will end his trip and return to Liangshanbo for maintenance. No one knows that day, but Xiao Shang, who is responsible for the maintenance, is extremely accurate. Logically speaking, he is here.

It had been a few days. When he saw his father, Sun Wu didn't know if his heart would be shaken, so he decided to dig a tunnel and leave before his father returned to the village.

"By the way, when I was sleeping this morning, I seemed to hear some noises..."

When the meal was about to end, Feng Jie put down the wine bottle in her hand and looked at her brother with doubtful eyes.

"You've been sleeping well at home every night recently, and you didn't secretly do some messy things while I was out drinking, right?"

"No, no, sister, you were so drunk that you fell into the field this morning. It's very dangerous."

Sun Wu tried his best to deny it and tried to cover up the matter, but there was a friend beside him who was worried that the world would not be "chaotic" and was watching covetously.

"Sister Feng, I am working for you this morning and hosting your morning broadcast."

"Oh, good job, Xiao Shang. Your voice imitation skills are 70% as good as mine. Sister Feng will give you part-time money, but what are you saying on the radio?"

"Well..."

Before answering, the girl's eyes drifted towards Sun Wu, with a strange expression that was half-smiling but not smiling. Sun Wu was sitting on pins and needles, with cold sweat breaking out on his back, and he couldn't help sending signals wildly with his eyes.

'You...don't talk nonsense!'

'Oh...do I look like I would betray my childhood sweetheart?'

'Can't you? Huh...that's great.'

'Oh...do I look like I would lie to my elders for my childhood sweetheart?'

'You she-devil!'

The tacit understanding that they grew up with together is unparalleled. In the short moment of eye contact, the young man and woman exchanged many heated words. The situation was as tense as a battlefield. If his sister hadn't been sitting in front, Sun Wu would have almost wanted to rush forward.

, pinched Xiao Shang’s neck and shook him hard.

"No, no, that's a heinous crime!"

As if she had read through Sun Wu's thoughts, the girl spoke in a robotic voice and shook her head disapprovingly. This made Sun Wu even more annoyed, but he couldn't do anything.

Fortunately, this time did not have to last too long. Just before Xiaoshang spoke again, the villagers' greetings came from outside the door.

"Sister Feng, Li Heizi has prepared some good wine. Everyone is ready and waiting for you."

"Really? I'll come right away."

Almost as soon as the voice fell, the figure on the wooden chair had disappeared and rushed out in a hurry. At this moment, the huge and fat figure was actually as light as a swallow, jumping over the table obstacle, flipping over the chair and running out with such agility.

Reminiscent of a wild cheetah.

"Wine is really a terrifying thing. It can actually turn a giant bear into a wild leopard in an instant."

"Yeah, didn't you see that my sister was just...wait a minute, don't think that the matter can be settled like this. I have to settle the account with you now!"

There was a brief chase between the one who was settling the accounts and the one who was escaping the accounts, but the reason why Sun Wu gave up the pursuit in the end was because he was reminded to seize the time and take advantage of his sister to go out drinking and not come back for a few hours.

Habits, hurry to dig in the tunnel.

"Hey, childhood sweetheart, let me help you! I can help you deal with some problems such as waste soil, so that you can save the time of dumping soil."

This is a completely untrustworthy companion. Rather than accepting her kindness, it is more because there is no other choice. The secret of digging the tunnel has been known to Xiao Shang. If she is not allowed to participate, she will definitely make trouble behind her back.

No matter what tricks she uses to make trouble, she can't afford the risk.

But if you put aside the risk of having bad intentions, Xiao Shang is indeed a super powerful helper. Before Sun Wu dug tunnels, he could only use the simplest pickaxe to dig bit by bit, and laboriously transported the waste soil out.

If you have a hard rock plate, you have to take the risk of being noticed by others and use your own martial arts to hit it hard. The golden bell is harder than the rock plate and breaks the rock into pieces. Although it is effective, the progress will not be fast after all, and the body of flesh and blood

Even if the gravel is as hard as gold and iron, it doesn't mean it won't hurt. Most of the time, Sun Wu felt like he wanted to cry from the pain.

However, after Xiao Shang joined, the situation was different. Sun Wu felt as if there was a walking armory beside him. Xiao Shang took out a few inconspicuous props, and after putting them together, they suddenly became a set of powerful tools.

Group, sprayed on the rock. After a few minutes, the originally hard rock suddenly became as soft as cotton. The pickaxe easily dug out the rock. In this way, the work progress increased to seven or eight times the original. Sun Wu was shocked again.

Fortunately, it seems that my dream plan is very likely to come true.

"Thank you, Xiaoshang, you are so awesome when you don't treat your enemy as your friend."

"You're welcome, but if you successfully run away, what are you going to do with Sister Feng? She has always been dependent on you, and if you leave her alone, what will happen to her? Have you ever thought about it?"
