Chapter 28 028 [The special skill of the traverser: storytelling]

Wei Jianxiong has already helped to complete all the procedures for enrolling in Hanzhu Academy. After receiving the wooden card (student ID card), he can eat in the cafeteria.

Generally speaking, ancient private schools did not have canteens, because they were very close to home. Only the academies will provide board and lodging, because the academies are more advanced, and the famous ones can even attract students from other provinces.

Hanzhu Mountain is very interesting. At first it was just a private school, and gradually expanded into an academy.

Take Ehu Fei as an example. It’s a long way from Ehu town by boat, and you have to walk several miles after disembarking. How can we do it without building a canteen?

Zhao Han came to the cafeteria and found that he didn’t have to order the food himself, but the servants had already brought the food to the table.

Five or six children sit around a table, with meat, vegetables and soup.

Excluding day students and those who bring their own meals, there are not many students in the cafeteria, including their schoolboys, there are only twenty or thirty students in total.

Private school teachers also sit at the same table.

Zhao Han took a bowl to make rice, but Fei Ruhe sat still, and Fei Chun helped him to serve it.

After sitting down, Zhao Han was about to start eating. He picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, because no one moved the chopsticks.

Teacher’s table.

A young teaching assistant shouted at the top of his voice, “Students recite poems!”

Immediately, the sound of reciting poems resounded loudly in the cafeteria: “At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drops to the soil. Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard work.”

Everyone was reciting poems, including Fei Ruhe, who changed his stubbornness in class.

After reciting the poem, the young assistant said respectfully: “Gentlemen, please use your chopsticks!”

The older teacher picked up the chopsticks, which was a signal, and all the students also picked up the chopsticks, Fei Ruhe just put his head down and wolfed it down.

Zhao Han couldn’t help smiling when he saw this, the cafeteria was actually more disciplined than the classroom.

Zhao Han just took a few mouthfuls, Fei Ruhe had already finished a bowl, Fei Chunfei hurried to help the young master refill.

“Hic!”

After eating four bowls in a row, Fei Ruhe clutched his belly and hiccupped, “I’m full, comfortable.”

Another cook, this guy has a really big appetite.

Zhao Han also ate two bowls, and went back to the dormitory with Fei Ruhe, taking the sign to get the quilt by the way.

Fei Chun dragged out several weapons from under the bed.

Fei Ruhe said, “Choose one yourself.”

There are spears, knives, swords, and sticks…all of which are not sharpened, and are dedicated to daily training.

Fei Ruhe took a knife, Fei Chun took a stick, Zhao Han of course chose a spear.

With lunch time, you can rest for two hours at noon, and the three of you went to the Houshan Bamboo Forest together.

Fei Ruhe started with swiping his saber. He did not practice any martial arts routines, but only practiced simple chopping, chopping, sweeping, intercepting, stabbing, lifting, hanging and other moves.

Fei Chun is obviously putting on airs. This guy doesn’t want to endure hardships, and has been practicing stick techniques.

After juggling for a while, Fei Ruhe retracted the knife out of breath. Seeing that Zhao Han just stabbed repeatedly, he couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Wei taught you?”

“How does the young master know?” Zhao Han asked back.

Fei Ruhe smiled and said: “At the beginning when I asked him to teach me the saber technique, he only taught one move, the frontal chop, and said that he would teach the next move after I had practiced it well.”

Zhao Han asked curiously: “Who is the young master’s martial arts teacher?”

“Of course it’s the fourth uncle,” Fei Ruhe reminded, “Don’t tell my father, he doesn’t know that the fourth uncle taught me martial arts.”

“I see.” Zhao Han couldn’t help being curious about the fourth uncle.

Until now, Ehu Fei’s fourth young master has never shown up. It is said that he went to Nanchang for a tour.

Fei Ruhe stuck his knife in the ground, took the opportunity to rest and said, “Do you know which ancestor of the Fei family I admire the most?”

Zhao Han replied: “It must be Duke Ehu (Fei Hong).”

Fei Hong is the second Jinshi of the Fei family in Qianshan. He ranked first in the boy examination at the age of thirteen, first in the provincial examination at the age of sixteen, and won the number one scholar at the age of twenty, and he was the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

“No, no,” Fei Ruhe said with a smile, “I most admire Tang Qugong (Fei Yaonian)!”

Fei Yaonian was the last famous official of the Fei family in Qianshan. He was gifted and intelligent since he was a child. But when he was ten years old, he suddenly ran to learn martial arts from his seventh uncle. He was good at riding and shooting, and knew strategy. In this way, he was delayed in studying, and was imprisoned in the academy by his elders. He studied hard for two years, finally became a scholar at the age of sixteen, and was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of twenty-four.

When the emperor supervised the construction of the Wanshou Bridge in the palace, he was impeached by the powerful to guard the local area because he saved millions of taels of silver because of careful planning. He also punished grain merchants in Fujian, stabilized prices, offended chief officials and wealthy families, and was forced to transfer to the military constitution of Suzhou. Suzhou Haoqiang was also badly harmed, and he was promoted and transferred again. Afterwards, he was often promoted. Although he had outstanding political achievements, he was promoted very slowly. He only worked as a political envoy to the left of Guangdong… managing people’s livelihood, supervising construction projects, training troops and fighting. Resigned and returned home.

Fei Ruhe raised his sword and said arrogantly: “If a man is alive, if he can’t stabilize the country, then he will be a hero!”

Ren Xia, robbing the rich and giving to the poor?

The richest people here are the Fei family, if you have the guts to rob your own family.

Fei Ruhe suddenly asked: “Have you seen “Water Margin”?”

Zhao Han nodded and said, “I’ve seen it.”

Fei Ruhe asked again: “Which hero do you like the most?”

Zhao Han thought for a while: “Lu Zhishen.”

Fei Ruhe patted his stomach: “I like Lu Junyi the most. From now on, I will be Lu Junyi, and you will be Yanqing!”

Fei Chun couldn’t help interjecting: “Young master, you said you wanted me to be Yanqing.”

Fei Ruhe said with disgust: “You are not good at martial arts, and you are always lazy in practicing on weekdays.”

Fei Chun hesitated to speak, feeling aggrieved, like a resentful woman who has been abandoned by her lover.

Zhao Han reminded: “Lu Junyi ended badly, he was poisoned to death by treacherous ministers.”

“That’s Song Jiang too bastard,” Fei Ruhe said indignantly, “If I were Lu Junyi, I would kill Song Jiang and take the top spot in Liangshan myself!”

Zhao Han shut up, it’s hard to vomit.

Fei Ruhe said: “Song Jiang is not a good man, and Li Kui who listens to him is not a good man either. Li Kui is a thief who kills innocent children. When I was reading “Water Margin”, I was so angry that I tore up the book!”

Well, it seems that the three views are quite upright.

If you don’t read “Water Margin”, it is easy to go astray, Zhao Han thinks it should be guided. So he said, “What’s so good about “Water Margin”? I’ll tell the young master a more exciting story.”

Fei Ruhe wondered: “Is there anything more exciting than “Water Margin”?”

“Of course,” Zhao Han opened his mouth and said, “Let’s say that during the Five Dynasties, there was an old man collecting herbs in Zhongnan Mountain. One day, he went to the mountain to collect herbs, and suddenly the mountains shook, and the old man fell into the cave on the cliff. A pangolin, and told the old man the shocking news. It was the pangolin that inadvertently pierced through the Town Demon Cave and let go of two thousand-year-old fairies…”

Children, what “Water Margin” are you reading?

“Gourd Baby” is more suitable!

The ancients never heard of this, Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun were quickly attracted.

“Boom!”

Zhao Han was speechless: “The gourd fell to the ground, but there was a loud noise, and a boy split the gourd and came out. The boy was wearing a gourd in a bun, and he was wearing fiery red clothes, and his skirt was also a gourd leaf. The boy , is the eldest brother among the seven gourd babies. He is extremely powerful and possesses supernatural powers, but he can become as big as a mountain, and he can crush monsters to death with one foot…”

Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun were dumbfounded when they heard this, and wished they could go home and plant gourds immediately.

“However, the second child is also born with magical powers. Eyes can see thousands of miles, and ears can hear all directions. It is the so-called clairvoyance and ears that follow the wind… The third child has copper heads and iron arms, invulnerable to swords and guns…”

“Okay, that’s all for today. If you want to know what happens next, let’s listen to the next chapter!”

Fei Ruhe became anxious immediately: “Don’t, hurry up and talk, have these three children rescued the eldest brother and the second brother?”

Fei Chun also said: “That’s right, brother, tell me quickly, I feel like a cat scratching my heart.”

Zhao Han smiled triumphantly: “That’s all I’ll talk about today, so don’t delay studying and practicing martial arts.”

Fei Ruhe scolded Fei Chun: “I have to give you money for listening to the book, so hurry up and tell me another paragraph.”

Fei Chun quickly took out a handful of copper coins, and said fawningly, “Brother, tell me quickly.”

Zhao Han took the copper coin and said angrily, “We are all brothers, yet you use these stupid things to insult me. I won’t talk about it!”

Fei Chun was speechless, thinking: Then you should pay me back the money anyway.

Fei Ruhe had no choice but to ask: “My good brother, how can I say another paragraph?”

Zhao Han held his head high and stood with his hands behind his back: “For the sake of the young master, I will finish telling Sanwa’s story today. If you want to listen to the rest, don’t make trouble in class, and you must improve your homework.”

“Okay, I won’t make trouble, so tell me about Sanwa.” Fei Ruhe said hastily.

“Ahem,” Zhao Han cleared his throat, “but that Sanwa, with a copper head and iron arm, is invulnerable to swords and guns. He went into the monster’s cave, and ordinary swords couldn’t hurt him at all. A bat spirit flew over and threw a flying fork with all his strength. Sanwa Without dodging or dodging, the flying fork landed on him, and the fork tip made of fine steel was bent and unusable. Another centipede came with an axe, and he slashed out, and the ax was blown out a few times… Know what will happen next, let’s listen to the next chapter to break it down!”

Fei Ruhe’s heart itched unbearably: “Brother, let’s talk a little more soon. Is it time for the fourth baby to be born? What kind of supernatural power does the fourth baby have?”

Zhao Han picked up his spear to practice stabbing and said with a smile, “Practice martial arts!”

Fei Ruhe had no choice but to raise his knife to practice. While practicing, he became upset and said to Fei Chun, “Go and find some gourd seeds. I want to grow gourds.”

Fei Chun kept complaining: “Master, where can I find gourd seeds?”

Fei Ruhe immediately scolded: “This kind of thing can’t be done well, why don’t you come to be the young master?”

Fei Chun trotted away from the bamboo forest and searched for gourd seeds all over the world.
