Proof of Longevity

Time flies, three years of learning, martial arts, and hunting have passed. In the morning, Zhang Shiyang opened the door and looked at the rising sun. He stretched out and yawned. The yard was still there. Which slender figure is busy where, it has been three years. Zhang Shiyang couldn't help but sighed, time flies so fast, looking at where the horse widow is busy, Zhang Shiyang only feels that the horse widow seems to be much plumper than three years ago. Since the village decided to conduct large-scale hunting three years ago, people's living standards have greatly improved, and the horse widow often receives financial support from Zhang Shiyang, so it can be said that the life is quite moist. Seeing Zhang Shiyang walk out of the yard, Widow Ma turned around and said, "Mr. got up, but it was a little late to get up today."

Zhang Shiyang smiled: "Whoever wakes up first in a big dream, I know it in my life, but it is the greatest enjoyment of life to wake up naturally in the morning." When he said that, he stepped forward to help the horse widow to feed the rabbit. This time, the horse widow did not refuse. Zhang Shiyang was allowed to help. After three years, the two of them had become quite familiar with each other. They were feeding the rabbit, and a shout came from a distance: "Sir, sir". But Ma Hao came.

Zhang Shiyang turned around and said, "Here, why are you shouting far away?" Ma Hao came closer, said hello to Zhang Shiyang and Widow Ma, and then said, "The village chief came back from the town this morning. He was about to come to you just now, but he just happened to meet me and told me to call You hurried over and said that there is something important to discuss with you." Zhang Shiyang said "Oh", but he wondered what could happen in the village, and told Ma Hao: "You will go to the school later, and when everyone arrives, ask them to review by themselves. I will go to the village chief's house to see." . "The student retire" Ma Hao turned and walked towards the school upon hearing this.

Zhang Shiyang looked at the horse widow and put down the rabbit in his hand. There have been dozens of these rabbits after three years of breeding. In the past three years, Zhang Shiyang wanted to kill the rabbits for food, but the group of children felt unbearable when they saw them. They begged in every way, and Zhang Shiyang had no choice but to stop killing. The great cause of the rabbit. Turning his head to the widow horse, said: "I don't know what the village chief is looking for. There hasn't been any major events in the village lately. I'll take a look." Widow Horse nodded with a "hmm". Zhang Shiyang turned around and walked outside the door, wondering to himself what the major event was, and the village chief came to find himself in the morning. The village chief’s house was not far from Zhang Shiyang’s house. When he walked to the village chief’s house, the door was unlocked, and he walked in directly: "Bo Li, Bo Li, I’m here." An old voice came from inside: "Mister is here, come in quickly".

After three years, Zhang Shiyang learned that both of the village chief’s sons had gone to participate, and they have not returned for five years. However, the country has been relatively peaceful recently, and the two of them have not been on the battlefield. They are just military defense and there is no life. Dangerous, I have often sent home letters over the past three years. Entering the house, the village chief was sharpening his hatchet, and saw Zhang Shiyang coming in, pointing to a stool and saying, "Sit." Then he got up and boiled a glass of water for Zhang Shiyang, and he also got a bowl of water.

Sit down opposite Zhang Shiyang: "I went to town yesterday. I heard that there was a war on the border of the empire. The fire empire in the south often provokes on the border, and it robbed a village on the border of the empire during the winter last year. The sage Longyan was furious, and decided to gather troops and horses to gather on the southern front. He wanted to teach the Fire Empire a lesson. For this reason, he ordered the strong people to be drawn across the country. Those who didn’t have the strong people should be given food. Today, he asked the gentleman to come, but he wanted the gentleman to take it. According to the regulations, the situation in our village has just improved. There is no surplus food in the village. In the past three years, the little guys have consumed a lot, and the surplus food is not much. They usually rely on hunting for their livelihoods, and the young and old in our village are They don’t want to leave their homes. Hey, it’s not good to ask anyone to go to the front line. Once a war starts, he may be thrown on the front line, hey,,,".

When Zhang Shiyang heard the words, he lowered his head and thought, then raised his head after a while: "Village Chief, I have an idea, I don't know if it should be said." The village chief was shocked when he heard the words: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhang Shiyang organized a language: "These little guys in the village have been practicing martial arts for more than three years, and they fight wild animals on the mountain every day, and everyone in the village can see their progress. After three years of medicinal baths, now The weakest is also in the realm of warriors, and those who want to become generals are now the strongest in the realm of warriors. Normally, hundreds of big men are not their opponents. They want to become generals, but if the prosperity is peaceful, there is no such thing. Opportunity. Now that there is a war in the South, isn’t this a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds? It’s only now when we learned martial arts for three years and made meritorious deeds.

The village chief was surprised when he heard the words: "You mean you told them to go to the battlefield?". Zhang Shiyang nodded: "Yes, people who practice martial arts want to make meritorious deeds. If they want to enjoy comfort and still practice martial arts, calm will wash out their blood, smooth their edges and corners, and don't take advantage of their youth. Get a fame, what's the point when you’re old, and the number one Wu is not that easy to test. So many people in the entire empire are practicing martial arts again, and there are only a few places for the number one. Even in our villages, there are close to three. More than a dozen people, how can this be divided?"

The old village chief was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and he didn't know what to say. Zhang Shiyang's words were reasonable, but he couldn't refute them. Zhang Shiyang went on to say: "The martial arts can only make continuous progress through continuous fighting, and the potential can be stimulated between life and death. I don't think these children will be ordinary. Fighting is the best way to progress." The village head was only meditating there when he heard that Zhang Shiyang didn’t bother, but drank the water quietly. When the two cups of water reached the bottom, the village head raised his head: “I can’t make a decision on this matter myself. I have to ask. Ask the opinions of the people in the village, and also ask the opinions of the children." Zhang Shiyang stood up when he heard the words: "Uncle Li, then I'm going back." The village chief nodded when he heard the words, still pondering.

When Zhang Shiyang saw this, he went out and did not go to the school. Instead, he returned home and opened the door. There was a scent of food floating in the house. Zhang Shiyang didn’t have to guess and knew that when Widow Ma saw that she hadn’t eaten, she went out in the morning. I have cooked food for myself, and Zhang Shiyang has gradually gotten used to it for three years. When the pot is opened, the rice is topped with two dishes, one stewed with cabbage tofu, and one braised pork. A warm atmosphere spreads. It's not blowing, the craftsmanship of the horse widow is still really good.

After eating, Zhang Shiyang went to the school slowly. In the past three years, Zhang Shiyang has given them some basic things. They usually study by themselves, so they only need to make time to explain to them. Xiaoyuezi is very leisurely. Seeing Zhang Shiyang coming in, a group of students stood up and saluted. Zhang Shiyang waved his hand to signal them not to be polite. Then he glanced at Ma Hao. In the past three years, Ma Hao has more and more righteousness on his head. He already has three chopsticks. Thick and thin, after nodding, Zhang Shiyang started his own work and began to explain some classics and articles.

In the afternoon, there was a ringing of bells. Zhang Shiyang knew that this time the village chief called everyone to join the army, so he stopped the course. Looking at this group of children, three years of martial arts practice, this group of children has been burly thinking of a strong man, almost like an adult, but if the face is still immature, I am afraid no one would have thought that this is a group of children: "This time the village chief Gather everyone, you also come and have a look with me". After speaking, they took the lead out of the school. A group of children looked at each other and followed out without knowing why. When he came to the village chief’s house, few villagers had come. Zhang Shiyang looked at the village chief: "Uncle Li, are you determined?".

The village chief nodded: "Yes, what you said is reasonable, wait until everyone is here for a while and then ask for everyone's meaning." Zhang Shiyang stopped talking when he heard the words, and sat on the side with his eyes closed and rested. Before long, the villagers were almost there. After the village head stood up, he told everyone about the matter and explained it back and forth. As expected, the village head had to bear with the thirty children before he finished talking. I couldn't help jumping out and decided to join the army. The adults looked at each other, dumbfounded, and had nothing to say in the end, so they had to agree, and the thirty-something children went home happily to prepare things. Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhang Shiyang said goodbye to everyone. He wanted to go home to prepare something, and after three days he would bid farewell to the children.
