Chapter 6

It's evening again.

This time, the family ate the sheep soup left over from last night.

Xu Ning didn't say anything about picking cool withered grass again today.

After dinner again.

Xu Lian packed up the dishes and chopsticks. Tao Yunchuan kept Xu Ning and said, "from tomorrow on, on odd days, you don't go to the mountains to collect medicine."

"Why?"

Xu Ning was puzzled.

Tao Yunchuan said to Xu Ning, "I paid five Liang silver to the village. You go to follow the martial arts training."

Xu Ning was a little confused.

Follow the training?

Xu Ning can't laugh or cry.

I have achieved my own strong wind Sabre technique. I don't need intensive training.

Seeing that Xu Ning didn't directly agree, Tao Yunchuan thought Xu Ning loved silver: "you don't have to worry about money. There is more money at the bottom of the box at home, and the pressure is much less. You have to take this opportunity to practice martial arts."

"Xu Ning, you have to understand that practicing martial arts is the right way."

Tao Yunchuan said sincerely: "when I was a teenager, I went to the mountain to collect medicine and met fierce animals. Although I escaped, I was physically disabled and couldn't stand out without the qualification to practice martial arts. You are still young. Now the conditions permit, you can't give up this opportunity."

"I..."

Xu Ning felt that he really didn't need to waste this time.

"Brother-in-law, in fact, I'm very good at practising my knife skills."

Xu Ning thought about it and said.

Tao Yunchuan shook his head and smiled: "don't lie to me. Last month, you were worried about the long-term lack of progress in knife skills. In a twinkling of an eye, you said you were good at practicing? Your brother-in-law is so easy to lie to me?"

Xu Ning was speechless when he heard the speech.

"Well, Xu Ning, don't hesitate. I've already paid the money. Let's go tomorrow."

Tao Yunchuan didn't intend to give Xu Ning a chance to make a decision this time. He stood up and patted Xu Ning on the shoulder: "remember, practice martial arts well."

After that, Tao Yunchuan limped out of the door.

Looking at Tao Yunchuan, Xu Ning decided to listen to her brother-in-law first.

"In that case, practice."

Xu Ning knew he couldn't beat Tao Yunchuan.

However, he did not intend to practice for a long time. After that, Tao Yunchuan recognized his talent on the pretext of improving his strength in the intensive training and having the coach testify.

If you don't participate in the training, there will be no problem.

……

The next morning.

After the cock crowed, it was still dark.

Xu Ning got up early, washed and went out.

Today, Xu Ning officially started training.

On the way, Xu Ning saw a large number of young people rushing to the school field together.

As soon as he arrived at the school yard, Xu Ning saw that it was crowded here.

Xu Ning has learned that there must be more than 200 people on the school field.

Among them, every 30 people are divided into a team, and the training is led by the coach who is the elder of the family.

Yesterday, Tao Yunchuan told Xu Ning that his coach was Tao Yunmeng.

Xu Ning inquired and found his team.

Before Tao Yunmeng, the leader of Xu Ning's team, arrived, Xu Ning greeted other peers who practiced together.

Although they are people with a different surname, the young people surnamed Tao here do not exclude themselves.

However, in Xu Ning's memory, the predecessor has been difficult to fully integrate in the face of the acceptance of other people surnamed Tao.

In his own heart, he was never a member here.

But now it's OK. As a traveler, Xu Ning is not so sensitive now.

"Xu Ning!"

Suddenly, Xu Ning heard someone call his name.

He looked down at the voice.

"Guo ye?"

Xu Ning saw Guo Ye.

"Xu Ning, you're here!"

Guo Ye was surprised.

"My brother-in-law signed me up."

Xu Ning explained and asked, "so you also participated in the training. I don't know."

"I practice occasionally and come here three or two days a month. If my uncle hadn't forced me to come, I'd rather see the medicine shop."

Guo Ye scratched his head, quite embarrassed.

This era is not good at martial arts. If you say it, it will be considered that you have no ambition, so Guo Ye didn't mention the training to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning heard the speech and smiled helplessly.

Others paid money and wanted to come every day, but Guo Ye was forced to be helpless.

However, Tao Yungang is engaged in medicine business. He has money and doesn't hurt the five Liang silver a month.

"Uncle Meng is coming!"

Then suddenly someone shouted.

A muscular man in a short shirt came with two large wooden boxes on his shoulders.

This is the leader of Xu Ning's team, Tao Yunmeng.

Tao Yunmeng is also a fierce man in taojia village. It is said that his strong wind Sabre technique has long been practiced to a great extent, and his internal skill has reached the four heavy Qi feeling realm. He also has a reputation among several nearby chuangs.

Clang.

Tao Yun flung down two large wooden boxes on his shoulder.

"Take a knife and line up!"

Tao Yunmeng looked at dozens of young people in front of him and said loudly.

Tao Yunmeng's team where Xu Ning works practices the strong wind Sabre technique.

At the command, dozens of people in front were quiet.

Everyone stood in line step by step, took out the steel knife from the wooden box, and then stood in line.

Steel knife is not a treasure, but not every family has it.

For example, Xu Ning's family has only two firewood knives.

Therefore, the tools required for the training shall be prepared by the village.

The staff stood still. Tao Yunmeng counted the number of people and nodded with satisfaction: "good, many people have come this time! There are new faces."

Tao Yunmeng saw Xu Ning.

"Roll call first."

Tao Yunmeng took out a piece of paper, on which was the list of training personnel.

"Tao Qingshu!"

"Here!"

"Tao Zhi!"

“……”

"Xu Ning!"

Finally, Xu Ning was called at the last.

"Here!"

Xu Ning shouted loudly.

"OK, there are only three people absent from work, which is very good. Then, start practicing!"

Tao Yun shouted fiercely.

"Cheer up!"

There was more than one team on the school field, with nearly ten team leaders, but Tao Yunmeng's voice was the loudest.

"Play the routine first and start!"

At Tao Yunmeng's command, dozens of people began to practice the gale blade technique at the same time.

For a moment, there was a gust of knife wind.

Tao Yunmeng didn't stand where he was, but paced slowly and carefully observed everyone's movements.

"Work hard!"

Tao Yunmeng would scold those guys who didn't have standard actions or no spirit.

Especially those who are obviously unfamiliar and backward, Tao Yunmeng will give a kick as a admonition.

Occasionally, Tao Yunmeng will also make some praise.

"Tao Zhi, progress is not small, continue to work hard."

Tao Yunmeng praised a girl.

In Kangyun County, no matter which Chuang Tzu, there are few women practicing martial arts.

For example, there are only two or three women practicing martial arts in Xu Ning's team.

Their common feature is that they have a good family. Their parents and elders can be regarded as figures in taojiazhuang, and they don't have much pressure on life.

In taojiazhuang, women can practice martial arts, but it is not compulsory.

First, women's physique is not as good as men's because they practice external skills such as gale sabre.

The second reason is that even if women practice martial arts, they generally rarely participate in defense and struggle. The high-risk occupations such as escort and hunting team in the village are basically engaged by men.

After being praised by Tao Yunmeng, the girl named Tao Zhi smiled and waved her knife harder.

Tao Yunmeng continued to walk and examine. Soon, he came to Guo Ye.

Seeing Tao Yunmeng coming, Guo Ye was obviously nervous.

"Guo ye, what are you practicing?"

Standing in place for a moment, Tao Yunmeng suddenly opened his mouth and his tone was very blunt.

Guo Ye is an exciting spirit, and his general action is even more rigid.

"I'm usually lazy and slippery. I use the excuse to show your uncle the shop. I fish for three days and dry the net for two days. I never practice after the training. Up to now, I haven't touched the essence of the knife technique. What do you want me to say about you?"

Tao Yunmeng kicked Guo Ye's calf.

Guo Ye stumbled and almost fell.

But in the face of Tao Yunmeng's fierce power, Guo Ye dared not say a word.

"I don't know how brother Yungang put up with you..."

Tao Yunmeng sneered again.

After that, Tao Yunmeng no longer stared at Guo Ye.

He has been completely disappointed with Guo Ye. He has general talent and has no fighting spirit. Such a person can't become a real warrior.

Then, Tao Yunmeng turned his eyes to Xu Ning next to Guo Ye.
