Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14 Young Master and Farmhand
Liu He was really caught off guard by him. Zhu Ye was too straightforward.

However, since the other party showed such sincerity, Liu He didn't know what to say.

"Well, Brother Zhu is indeed a real man! How about this, I see that there is not much firewood left at home, so I will go to the mountain to chop some and bring it back to the yard to chop it up, what do you think?"

After hearing Liu He's instructions, Zhu Ye said nothing. He handed over the spear, walked straight to the yard, took the axe, and went straight up the mountain.

Liu Qian walked out of the house and happened to see this scene. He was extremely surprised and walked out to ask.

After listening to Liu He's explanation, he finally understood and looked at Liu He with surprise. He felt that his son was so charming at such a young age and was born to do great things. He was very pleased and couldn't help but thank his ancestors countless times in his heart.

It's just that the two followers who came with Zhu Ye were still standing at the gate of the courtyard, so Liu Qian didn't dare to show it too obviously.

Liu He held the spear, looked at the impetuous Zhu Ye, smiled bitterly, and went to the back mountain for training as usual. Not long after, Er Ni also came to study.

The three of them were practicing here, and the sound of Zhu Ye chopping trees came from not far away, which was quite pleasant.

To say that Er Ni is really sensible and well-behaved, she is also very smart and considerate. She reads quietly every day, and when she encounters something she doesn't understand, she just writes it down herself. She only comes over to ask when Liu He is tired from training and takes a break to drink water.

Liu He was naturally happy to teach her, and after a few days, the girl had completely understood the entire scroll.

Zhang Yong was also a studious kid. Every time Liu He taught Erni, he would pause his training and quickly come over to study together. And because he had no books to read, he asked more questions than Erni every time. Over the past few days, he had become familiar with a lot of words, some of which made Liu He secretly admire him.

The characters of the Eastern Han Dynasty were already very similar to the common traditional Chinese characters seen today. You should know that a few hundred years later, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, simplified Chinese characters had already begun to appear in large numbers in calligraphy, inscriptions, and daily life.

Therefore, relying on Liu He's extensive historical knowledge from his previous life and his IQ in this life, after reading the entire book and article and combining the context, he was able to basically understand it, so teaching the two children was no problem.

But while this side was comfortable, Zhu Ye was suffering.

He chopped wood every day. Although he was a ten-year-old boy who ate well and practiced martial arts since childhood and was much stronger than ordinary teenagers, he could only endure it for the first two or three days. On the fourth day, he began to find it difficult. Now it was the sixth day, and his hands holding the axe were shaking when he chopped wood, which made Liu Qian and Xu feel a little sorry.

"Master Zhu, my He'er and the others can't see you, so you can just take a rest. I'll chop the rest of the firewood."

Liu Qian stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take the axe. In his mind, Liu He was a young man who was not afraid of tigers, but he couldn't be so reckless. In their eyes, the Zhu family was almost a behemoth. How could they let the eldest son of the Zhu family do such rough work?
But Zhu Ye looked determined.

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Liu! It's said in the books that a gentleman keeps his word. I, Zhu Ye, dare not say that I am a gentleman, but I must keep my word. I promised to work for ten days and never be lazy or take shortcuts!"

Liu Qian was stunned. He had never thought that Mr. Zhu had such a temper. It made him feel that he had underestimated this young man before.

At this time, Xu came out and handed a bowl of water to Zhu Ye. Zhu Ye had been busy for half the morning and was indeed thirsty. He took the bowl and drank it in a few gulps. Then he wiped the sweat off his face and continued to chop wood.

Xu couldn't bear to watch, and recalled the scene when Liu He and Zhang Yong just started training, she couldn't help but sigh. "Mr. Zhu is indeed my He'er's friend, they have the same temper."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ye raised his head and looked at Xu.

"Aunt Liu, why did you say that? How come Big Brother Liu and I have the same temper? I think Big Brother Liu is much better than me!"

Liu Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Haha, Mr. Zhu, in terms of age, you are two years older than my son. Why do you call him brother? This is not appropriate, not appropriate!"

Zhu Ye put down the axe, put his hands on his hips, his eyes sparkling: "Although Brother Liu is younger than me, he is really capable! We are real men, whoever has the ability is the big brother. He is better than me, so of course he is the big brother. If one day I surpass him, I will definitely catch him and make him call me big brother, hehe!"

The childish talk made the two old men next to them almost laugh out loud.

"By the way, Auntie, you haven't told me why you think my temper is the same as Brother Liu's!"

Xu had just mentioned it casually at first, but now seeing Zhu Ye praising her son so much, she felt happy, so she stopped what she was doing and explained it to him in detail.

"Haha, more than two months ago, my He'er and the Zhang family's kid just started practicing martial arts together. I remember that after a few days, he was just like you, with sore muscles and bones, weak hands and feet, and couldn't stop shaking. Oh, they say that children are the flesh of their mothers. I was so heartbroken at that time."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ye realized that Liu He and the others had experienced the same feeling as he did now. He immediately became more alert and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, afraid of missing a single word.

"At that time, I also advised them to rest for a few days, but my son said that this was the most critical time and they should persevere. Once their muscles and bones adapt to the intensity of the training, they will naturally stop feeling sore and their strength will increase. I didn't believe it at the time. But strangely, after another three or five days, I saw that their hands and feet were flexible and free. It can be seen that it was because I, a woman, had too little experience."

Although Xu said this about herself, her words were full of pride.

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Ye's eyes lit up and he suddenly understood.

"Ah! I see!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, and the two followers outside the yard heard it. They thought something had happened to him and rushed in.

"Sir, how are you? Are you injured?"

The two men looked so ferocious that Liu Qian and Xu were frightened.

"Go away, go away, I'm fine, get out now, or I'll go home and tell my father that you guys bullied me!"

These two followers had been serving Zhu Ye for many years and knew the young master's temper very well. If he was really unhappy, they would definitely be in trouble. So when they saw Zhu Ye getting angry, they immediately retreated obediently.
