The sun rises and the moon sets, another week has passed.
Since they came back from the Spring Festival, Zhang Gouzi's family has returned to its former peace.
The twenty acres of land have been weeded and the seeds carefully left over from last year have been sown.
The chickens at home were also killed one after another to feed Zhang Heizi.
Zhang Chong got a little bit meaty, and because he was eating well and practicing these days, his body became much stronger.
When he came back that day, he began to become familiar with this master-level halberd throwing technique.
After trying several throwing objects, he found that they felt wrong and the accuracy of throwing them was very low.
It seems that if you want to maximize the effect of this skill, you still need to choose specific equipment to practice.
So Zhang Chong transferred 300 yuan to his family from the 500 yuan given by the big beard in sacrifice, and the rest went to tiehu's house in the countryside to buy a halberd.
Because the materials used were not good, and they were familiar with each other in the village, they also asked for a hundred dollars.
But just this, his mother and mother scolded him: "I can't survive."
Later, Zhang Chong bought some hens and chickens at home, and the mother gave up.
When someone takes advantage of him, Zhang Chong often runs to the hill.
He used trees as targets and his halberd throwing skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Within ten steps, you can see the halberd, and within twenty steps, you can already hit eight out of ten shots.
Zhang Heizi had been recuperating at Zhang Chong's house and knew that Shi Zaizi was going to practice martial arts.
He was taken care of by Zhang Gouer's family, and he wanted to repay his kindness and give him some good guidance.
As soon as I could get to the ground, I followed Zhang Chong into the hills.
But Zhang Chong's halberd throwing technique really shocked him, and he never followed him again after that.
Later, Zhang Heizi got well and wanted to return to Shigu Mountain.
Shigu Mountain is fifty miles away from Licheng, where Zhang Heizi's village is located.
Before leaving, he told Zhang Chong that there was only one person he knew in Shigu Mountain who had this skill.
Calling Mou Mingzong, he is the chosen leader in the village.
He was originally an Orion hunter. He had been throwing pebbles since he was a child. Later, he was taught by an old soldier in the tribe and learned the art of throwing halberds. From then on, he was invincible in twenty steps.
Zhang Chong is the second person Zhang Heizi has seen with such ability.
Zhang Chong would definitely not tell Zhang Heizi that this was all the power of Gold Finger, so he could only smile shyly.
These days, he has also inherited the angle skill from Zhang Heizi, which is also a proficient level skill.
As for how to win, it’s better than eating corn ears!
Haha! Competing with a person who can’t go to the ground to see who can eat more, absolutely!
After inheriting the proficient level of angular jutsu, Zhang Chong discovered that it was very similar to the jujitsu that was popular in his later generations. It focused on grabbing, grappling, and throwing techniques, as well as some joint techniques.
This martial arts is a typical military martial arts.
Imagine a melee between two armies, with everyone wearing helmets and holding swords.
If you are thrown to the ground and the other person stabs you, will you survive?
Therefore, in the army, in addition to practicing the five soldiers and getting familiar with the military drums, the most practiced thing in the army is the art of horns.
Furthermore, with this angle skill as a reference and combined with the several fights he observed, Zhang Chong found that the lethality of different skills varied greatly.
For example, Zhang Heizi is proficient in angle fighting and can knock down three people in a row without any fireworks.
But this is the result of dividing and attacking.
If Liu Gong's three disciples had swarmed him before, even holding sticks and nets, Zhang Heizi would probably have been captured.
Ji Sun and Zhang Qiu are proficient in the Huanshou Swordsmanship, and they can fight with weapons. One person can kill, three people can block them, and five people will probably have to fight and run away.
But his halberd throwing technique is completely different.
It can be said that within twenty steps, no matter what means you have or how many layers of armor you have on, as long as you have enough halberds, you can kill instantly.
With such skill, one can imagine how old man Zhang was a coward in the countryside when he was young.
But now, this means of killing is his. With this by his side, and if he is more careful, the whole world can do it.
But don't be arrogant. If you encounter someone using a bow on the other side, you can only be a target at such a distance.
Therefore, I will learn more archery skills in the future.
Also, there is only one halberd now, and it will be gone if you throw it. To achieve the effect of group battle, not to mention five, three are still needed.
But there is no money!
So poor! I need to make money!
——————————————
On this day, Zhang Chong was still practicing his halberd on the hill as usual.
An uninvited guest entered Zhang's house.
"Gouzi, this year the laborers assigned by the county to be transferred to Caogu have come down.
Originally, we were sending disciples there, but the warehouse officials reported that the disciples who went to Zhongshan last year to transport military rations to Liyang Camp had not returned yet. They said they were recruited by the old revolutionaries from Liyang Camp to repair the barracks.
Therefore, according to Cangguan's intention, the county would be required to collect 200 Guizhou heads for this transfer to Caogu.
There are many people in our village, so we are divided into fifty.
Gouzi, you don't know that for these fifty people, Zheng Shifu and Liu Gong and other assistants have tried their best to kill them.
Because the only son in the family cannot be recruited, spring plowing is about to start now, and this farming work cannot be delayed.
Then, those who have been sent to serve this year cannot be drafted.
So I don’t know how long it took Lao Zheng to go through the household registers of our township before he could collect these fifty people.
No, the second son of the Yu family is here."
After saying that, an old man with a goatee, wearing a soap coat and a black ribbon with a copper stamp on his waist, took out a handful of bamboo slices from his sleeve, rummaged for a while, pulled out a piece and handed it to Zhang Gou
son.
This person is Sun Xun, the director of the pavilion in Zhang Gouzi's area. He is responsible for traffic, civil complaints, and theft prevention.
He comes from a wealthy family in the neighboring town and has been here as the chief of the pavilion for twenty years.
So, I watched Zhang Chong grow up.
Zhang Gouzi, who had been leaning forward and silent, took the piece of bamboo.
He also received education in the village and knew some words.
This piece of bamboo has written on it
"Zhang Chong, a public servant in Dasangli, Guoli City, Jinan, is seventeen years old."
He knew that this was Shi Zaizi's identity symbol.
When going out to pass the customs, everyone must check the talisman.
As for the title of Duke, it is given to the people when the country ascends the throne. Everyone has it, and it is not worth much.
Seeing that Zhang Gouzi didn't speak, Sun Xun spoke again:
"Gouzi, I have practiced hard work before and know the rules of this kind of labor.
This is the first time for the second son of the Wei family. You must explain some things clearly.
If you get sick on the way, you can come back, but if you escape, it will not only be a crime for our family.
I, Lao Zheng and others, as well as the county officials and officials, will all be punished.
Therefore, you must make peace with your baby and don’t run away because you feel miserable.
If you run away, things will be difficult."
The words were a bit harsh, so Zhang Xun, the director of the pavilion, adjusted his tone.
"Gouzi, this battle was pretty good.
As a son of the Wei family, if you only need to row an oar all the way, eat and sleep on the boat, isn't it more comfortable than pulling an ox on the road?
It takes us forty days to go to Aocang from here, and it will be more comfortable when we come back along the river, and we can come back in less than twenty days.
Also, you can bring some things to sell along the way and earn some copper coins.
Isn't this a good thing if you eat millet at your own expense and earn copper coins?
Didn't you notice that I was the one leading the team this time?
Uncomfortable? Can I do this?"
Zhang Heizi nodded, then feared that Sun Xun would misunderstand, so he quickly added:
"I am a small family, so I don't have much capital to do business. I just hope that Shi Zaizi will be safe on his journey."
Sun Xun also nodded in agreement:
"Yes, peace and quiet are blessings."
After saying this, Sun Xun said goodbye. He still wanted to inform several others.
Before going out, Sun Xun was worried and mentioned Zhang Gouzi again:
"Tell me clearly, don't be a coward!
Remember to meet me at my place in two days. When the time comes, you can load up the grain and sail away. You must not be late.
The ultimatum letter for the second son’s execution this time will be left with me first, so let’s go!”
After saying that, he picked up an old hen and dragged his clogs away.
This old hen was a thank-you gift from Zhang Gouzi to Sun Xun, asking him to take care of some stone cubs on the way.
There is also an ultimatum, which records Zhang Chong's identity, place of origin, age and height, the time of his deployment and the period of his return.
At that time, all customs clearance must be verified together.
The director of the pavilion left. Zhang Gouzi was upset, so he went back to the back room to talk to his wife about the matter.
In fact, Erzi's mother put down her loom when the pavilion chief came, and after listening to half a sentence, she felt bad in her heart.
When the old man really said that the second son was going to do the job, he still cried.
I waited for the old man to reassure me that I would be back in three months, and that I would go to Xingyang, so I felt a little better.
After Zhang Gouer comforted his wife, he went to the fields to find his eldest son and asked him to go to the mountains to call his two uncles home.
By the time Zhang Zhong and his two uncles rushed home sweating.
The desk had been set up in the yard. Zhang Gouzi went to Duman's house to buy some wine, cooked a chicken, and started eating and drinking with his two brothers.
He told his two younger brothers about this incident, and then said to his third younger brother Zhang Bingnan:
"Third brother, this is what I thought about.
This bondage seems a bit strange. Just after we insulted the old man, the second son was drafted into bondage.
Although my second son has reached his age, I always feel something is wrong.
Therefore, I want you to accompany Erzi on this grain haul.
Xie is used to traveling around the world, and even if something is wrong, he can come back with his second son.
You are knowledgeable and can prosper our Zhang family in the future."
Zhang Bingnan wiped the corners of his mouth with oil:
"No problem, brother, I will go to Xingyang with Erzi this time.
I am familiar with this waterway, and I also recognize the heroes and heroines along the river.
If Zhang Tiehu really wants to cause trouble, I will bring his two sons back. If not, my uncle and nephew will look after him on the way.
Let me tell you, this is probably a good thing. When you go out, you can see the world."
Hearing what his brother said, Zhang Gouzi nodded.
The three brothers agreed and had some more wine.
Zhang Gouzi asked Erzi's mother to make dry food, rice balls and dried fish for two people.
Although there is food on board, the food at home is different after all.
When Zhang Chong finished practicing his halberd and came back in the dark, the whole family was awake.
The mother and mother were busy working on the stove, while the younger sister and younger brother looked at the stove eagerly and drooled.
Dad and the eldest brother left the bamboo baskets, and even the two uncles did not go back to the mountain and spread straw mats at home.
He guessed something was wrong.
"Going to Xingyang? Okay, I just wanted to take a look outside."
Hearing his father say that he was going to send grain to Xingyang, Zhang Chong didn't panic at all except for the accident.
Just kidding, he's not really an ancient person.
The peasants of the Han Dynasty might have been living within a hundred miles throughout their lives, had it not been for natural or man-made disasters or forced labor.
Therefore, traveling far away is a big deal for them.
But Zhang Chong was a great traveler in his previous life, and he had visited countless mountains and rivers in his motherland.
Just talking about the Xingyang Expressway, he didn't know how many times he had gone back and forth.
Therefore, he was quite excited to meet the big man Xingyang this time.
Two days later, the mediocre men from several nearby villages who had been drafted went together to worship the Taoist gods.
Although it is said to be a god, it is actually quite inconspicuous, just a shrine built with a few stones on the side of the road.
When they go on a long journey, they not only want to count the auspicious days, but also come here to worship the road god and bless them all for a safe and smooth trip.
After worshiping the gods, Zhang Chong and his father each carried a bamboo basket and went to the pavilion director with everyone to report.
Also present were Duman and Zhang Dan, who turned out to be among the conscripts.
