I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Ate a bowl of grass.

Chu Ning did not go back to lie down on the bed, but sat by the door and began to think.

From the memory of the original owner, we learned that the dynasty the original owner lived in was called the Liang Dynasty.

The Liang Dynasty was not a dynasty that was inferior in everything but good at reading. It was a dynasty where warriors were respected.

Warriors can serve in the government, and the higher the strength, the greater the official position.

In a world that relies on force, reading and understanding is not very important.

If it doesn't make sense, just talk about physics.

It is said that the founding emperor of the Liang Dynasty could reverse the flow of rivers with one palm, which was comparable to that of an immortal.

In the memory of the original owner, he only knows that the realm of a warrior is martial apprentice and martial artist, and the original owner does not know about the higher levels.

"It seems that only by practicing martial arts can you get ahead."

Chu Ning understood very well that in such a world where warriors were respected, it would be difficult for him to make a fortune by doing business even if he relied on what he had learned in the modern world.

Without the protection of force, it is difficult to retain wealth.

To practice martial arts, you need martial arts secrets, but the martial arts secrets of the Liang Dynasty were in the hands of the imperial court and some warriors and sects.

Ordinary people want to learn martial arts from a martial artist, and the apprenticeship fee is tens of taels. They still have to work as a cow and horse in the master's house for several years before they can start learning martial arts.

The sect is too far away from Daning County. It is said that the nearest martial arts sect is in Fucheng, hundreds of miles away.

The only way out for the poor is to enter the government schools. Learning martial arts in government schools is free.

Chu Ning's father came out of the academy, but martial artists who came out of the academy were not allowed to pass on martial arts to future generations, because the secrets of martial arts belonged to the imperial court, and it would be a serious crime to teach them privately.

Although the school does not require tuition fees or apprenticeships, it does have strict requirements. Before the age of seventeen, you must be able to lift a two hundred kilogram stone pier to your head.

"So it's similar to public schools and private schools. Private schools don't have requirements but they have to have money, while public schools have requirements for qualifications."

Chu Ning whispered in her heart that the original owner could only lift a stone pier of forty kilograms at most, and it would be impossible for him to increase his strength to two hundred kilograms in two years.

Chu Ning's eyes fell on several stone piers in the yard, and Chu Ning walked over. These were built by Chu's father before his death. Five years ago, he could lift a stone pier weighing thirty kilograms.

The reason why my strength has not increased much in the past five years is actually very simple: nutrition cannot keep up.

In fact, this is also the reason why it is difficult for ordinary poor people in this world to have martial artists in their homes. Which poor family can let their children eat meat every day? Without nutrition, they will have no strength.

"Actually, forty pounds is not weak anymore."

Compared with his previous life, he could hold a woman in his arms at first, but later had no choice but to lie down. The original owner's strength was not that small.

Chu Ning walked to the stone pier, grabbed the handle of the 30-pound stone pier, and lifted the stone pier with her hand.

"Damn it, it shouldn't be so easy."

Without thinking, Chu Ning tried the 40-pound and 60-pound weights again, and they were both easy to lift.

Something is wrong.

The original owner's body didn't have that much strength.

Chu Ning changed stone piers along the way, and finally stopped on a 90-pound stone pier.

I can lift ninety pounds, but I can't hold it for five seconds.

"It's because I haven't eaten enough. If I had eaten enough, it wouldn't be impossible for me to get a hundred kilograms of stone piers."

Chu Ning's eyes lit up and she called softly: "System?"

no response.

"System binding..."

"System loading 10%"

"System loading 20%..."

"System loading 99%..."

"Okay, the system failed to load."

Three minutes later, Chu Ning gave up talking to himself. He had no system.

"Is it because of the physical changes caused by my soul passing through?"

While Chu Ning was thinking, the old aunt walked in the door carrying a diabolo basket with a disappointed look on her face.

Yesterday, Xiao Ning wanted to eat something else, so she went out to look for it, but she couldn't find any other grass after searching for a long time.

Seeing Chu Ning squatting in front of the stone pier, the old aunt asked curiously: "Xiao Ning, what are you doing?"

"Old aunt, the child can lift an eighty-pound boulder."

Chu Ning said, lifting the eighty kilogram boulder in the old woman's shocked eyes.

Snapped!

The old woman dropped the bamboo basket in her hand. After being stunned for a few seconds, she walked over with an excited look on her face.

"Xiao Ning, come into the house with me."

…

…

In the cramped room, Chu Ning knelt down in front of the original owner's father's tomb.

The old woman said a lot of things, probably about the blessing of the original owner's father and the appearance of ancestors.

Chu Ning grasped an important point.

His cheap father who died was a martial arts master. According to the policy of the Liang Dynasty, as long as his descendants can enter the martial arts school and stay for six months, they can get a job as a police officer in the county government.

It is somewhat similar to modern employees’ families who are given priority in joining the company.

But thinking about his own strength, he was afraid that the old man would not be able to remember the number when he was old, so he reminded: "Old aunt, the entrance hall requires two hundred kilograms of strength, and I can only weigh one hundred kilograms at most, which is completely insufficient."

The old woman didn't reply, but walked to the wooden box on the side of the bed, rummaged through the box and found a piece of clothing for Chu Ning to put on. Chu Ning put it on as she was told, only to find that the clothes were very loose. The arm is still a long way from the cuff.

This reminded him of the scene when he was a child and secretly wore an adult's clothes. This clothes probably did not belong to the original owner, but to the original owner's father.

The old woman lifted up Chu Ning's sleeves and trousers, then tied the waist tighter, then looked at Chu Ning and murmured: "We, Xiao Ning, are adults too."

…

…

After following the old aunt out, Chu Ning asked several times on the way before he found out who the old aunt had brought him to.

The county's head catcher Huang was a colleague of his father back then.

This is to ask Huang Captou to give a letter of recommendation to the school.

The admission criteria for the academy are two hundred kilograms of strength and under the age of seventeen. You cannot cheat on your age, but in terms of strength, the academy has a lot of room for maneuver.

Just like those key middle schools in previous lives, you need a certain score to enter, but if you have money, you can also sponsor admission.

Chu Ning has no money, so he can only use the right to pass.

Just standing in front of the Huang family's mansion, Chu Ning was a little curious. They were also arrested, so why was the gap so big?

Just like colleagues in a company, one lives in a rented house in the city, while the other lives in a luxurious villa with a large garden and private swimming pool.

The backyard of the Huang family's mansion.

Huang Zhongtai was fishing in the pond in the courtyard, listening to the butler's report and falling into deep thought.

Aunt Chu Ping came to visit with Chu Ping's son?

Who is Chu Ping?

After thinking for a while, he finally remembered who Chu Ping was.

There was a head catcher five years ago, but he drowned not long after he became the head catcher. He had no personal relationship with Chu Ping.

"If you come here at this time, you should bring Chu Ping's son with you..."

Huang Zhongtai rubbed his fingers on the armrests of the chair and quickly guessed the purpose of the visit of the old man and the young man.

The day of admission to the academy is coming soon. I want to get a letter of recommendation to enter the academy to practice martial arts. As long as I can stay in the academy for six months, I can get a job in the Yamen.

This Chu Ping's son obviously doesn't have enough strength, otherwise he wouldn't beg for help.

It's not worth using your connections just for the sake of the Chu family who have no friendship.

"In reply to them, just tell them that I am not in good health and cannot see guests today and ask them to please come back."

Huang Zhongtai made a decision, and when the housekeeper heard this, he turned around and left.

At this moment, the buoy on the water surface of the pond sank. Huang Zhongtai's eyes lit up and he raised his right hand, and a red carp was lifted out of the water.

"It turned out to be a carp..."

There was a look of surprise in Huang Zhongtai's eyes, and he shouted to the housekeeper who had already walked out of the backyard: "Go to the door and see what the Chu family child is doing at the moment. Write down his expression and behavior, and report to me quickly."

The housekeeper left in a hurry, but came back within three minutes.

"Master, the child of the Chu family is standing in front of the door. His posture is upright and his expression is very calm. There is no anger or tension."

At the age of fifteen, even after his elders were left outside the door for more than a quarter of an hour, he was still able to maintain a calm expression and no anger at being humiliated. Whether he was good at hiding his emotions or was really patient, his character was far superior to that of his peers.

Huang Zhongtai stood up from his chair, walked back to the study, and wrote a note.

"Give this to them and tell them that I'm not in good health and can't see the guests. I already know your purpose. You can take this note to the school's Professor Liu."

"Yes, sir."

The housekeeper took the note, but after seeing the words on the paper, his pupils shrank.

Huang Zhongtai looked at the surprised look in his butler's eyes and warned: "Either you don't help, or if you want to help, you must put this favor in place."

"Don't worry, sir, I know what to say." The housekeeper understood what his master meant.

In front of Huang's house.

The old woman held Chu Ning's hand. Chu Ning could feel the anxiety of her old aunt, and her heart was far from as calm as she appeared.

He knew in his heart that the friendship between the yellow catcher and his father's colleagues was not deep.

Otherwise, the old aunt wouldn't ask for help at this time.

Just when Chu Ning was thinking that the other party might not help, the door of the Huang family slowly opened.

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked out quickly.

"Old madam, I'm really sorry. I was very happy to hear that it was the old madam and Mr. Chu who came to the door. I was originally going to greet them in person, but the old man has been ill recently and the doctor told him not to get out of bed."

As soon as he opened the door, the butler expressed his apology sincerely, and then said: "The master already knows the purpose of the old lady's visit, and knows that the son also has the qualifications to practice martial arts. The master is very excited, and keeps saying that a tiger father has no dog son, Brother Chu is underground You should feel happy if you have a spirit, and you specifically asked me to give this to Mrs. Chu."

Listening to the housekeeper's words, the old aunt took the note and was very excited when she read the words on it clearly. Chu Ning also sighed in her heart. Sure enough, those who are rich and powerful are always smart people no matter what era they are in.

Look at how tactfully he said this. Those who didn't know the inside story really thought that Mr. Huang had a deep friendship with his father during his lifetime.

Moreover, not only did she speak nicely, she also handled matters openly.

Chu Ning just glanced at the handwriting on the note.

"Xiao Ning is the son of my good friend. Now he has the qualifications to practice martial arts. I hope Brother Liu will take more care of him. Brother Zhongtai is very grateful."

The old aunt took Chu Ning and bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude before leaving. After returning home, the old aunt asked Chu Ning to lie on the bed to rest. Chu Ning really had no strength.

The energy I gained from eating a bowl of grass was gone after this trip.

Seeing the old aunt bending down and groping under the earthen stove for a while, and finally walking out of the house steadily with a small object wrapped in red paper, Chu Ning was also a little emotional. The old man only ate half a bowl of grass, and he didn't know what it was. Where did she get the strength to still walk?

Chu Ning fell asleep and smelled the fragrance of rice.

When I opened my eyes, a bowl of fragrant rice was placed on the table, and the old aunt was licking the burnt rice from the spatula in front of the earthen stove.

Where did you get the rice at home?

In just a moment, Chu Ning understood that the old aunt must have pawned the last bit of jewelry.

"Xiao Ning is awake, come and eat." The old aunt heard the movement behind her and put down the spatula: "I just saw that you were sleeping soundly, so aunt ate by herself without calling you."

"good."

Chu Ning didn't expose it. She sat at the table, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and ate the fragrant white rice with a few grains of salt and grass fried in it.
