"Huh...huh..." Chen Kui held a hoe in his hand, breathing heavily, and the sweat on his forehead was visible to the naked eye.
"This is probably the legendary ability to restrain a chicken." Chen Kui sat down on the chair aside and looked at the rusty hoe in his hand, Chen Kui laughed at himself.
He didn't really believe in the saying that "one's hands are powerless to tie a chicken", thinking that it was an exaggerated metaphor, because Chen Kui really couldn't imagine how a young man, even a scholar, could catch a chicken.
I can’t help it. Isn’t this a joke?
But now, Chen Kui believed it.
He is now a weak scholar who is "really powerless", not because Chen Kui is older or younger, but because he doesn't have enough to eat, and of course, is sick.
Scholars study hard for ten years in a cold window, without doing anything in production, and study hard behind closed doors, just to be able to be on the list, shine on the lintel, and get ahead in the future. If the labor force at home is sufficient, it will be better. If there is not enough, they can only starve.
If you don't have the necessary exercise, you will naturally be unable to restrain the chicken.
Chen Kui's predecessor was probably in this situation. He was the only one left in the family, but he was so decisive that he sold all the land in his family, made a desperate move, and concentrated on studying behind closed doors. He only had porridge and pickles for two meals a day.
This time I was supposed to go to the state capital to participate in the Qiubin Competition. Only by passing the exam could I go to the capital to win the imperial examination. However, I didn't want to be too weak due to long-term lack of nutrition, and I fell ill again. I fainted halfway through the journey.
In the past, Chen Kui died, so he was reborn into this person and was saved by a kind-hearted mother and son passing by.
The body is the capital of revolution - great men will not deceive me!
"Go on." He rubbed his hands, held the hoe, and continued working.
Chen Kui did not want to poach someone, nor did he want to exercise, but according to his memory, he was looking for things buried in the ground by the original owner. The original owner was really cautious and buried things "so deep". This was already Chen Kui's first
Second break.
"The most important thing is to replenish the body first, heal the disease, and take good care of the body. Otherwise, it will be impossible to practice martial arts."
Although the condition of this body was very bad, Chen Kui was actually quite excited. He never thought that he would have another chance!
In the previous life, in Ip Man Universe, although Chen Kui reached an unprecedented peak in the business field, in terms of kung fu, he was unfortunately blocked from Huajin. This was a lifelong regret for Chen Kui. He never expected that he
There is actually a chance to start over again.
This may be the result of the Heavenly Book of Martial Arts.
Although his current body lacks nutrients and is relatively thin, it is really not a big problem for Chen Kui. As long as Chen Kui is given a certain amount of time, enough food intake, and some good exercise, he can quickly become stronger.
It seemed that the innate attributes of this body were quite good. What Chen Kui was really excited about was not only the opportunity to start over again, but also this era.
Although Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, etc., and Chen Kui are not very familiar with history, Chen Kui still knows about the famous brothel emperor. The "Jingkang Shame" is related to him. Although Chen Kui is not sure of the specific time, it was not long before the Jin soldiers went south.
, definitely not far.
The battlefield is close at hand, it is close to the northwest, and Chen Kui can also go to the northwest to join the army.
In his previous life, Chen Kui's most profound realization was that martial arts training is the foundation, and killing is the sublimation.
Only on the battlefield, only in life-and-death fights, can we have a greater chance of touching the legendary realm of Huajin and reviving a new life. Chen Kui must experience the elegance of Huajin no matter what, otherwise he will be too sorry for the opportunity given by God.
Already.
Chen Kui now thought that he had come to the Song Dynasty in history. He didn't think much about it. He didn't expect that he had actually come to the Water Margin world. Because after Wang Jin and his son rescued Chen Kui, they did not tell them their real names, but only said their surname.
open.
As for the scientific examination, Chen Kui gave up decisively. Now, his goal is very clear, that is to join the army and go to the battlefield.
"Chen Kui, Chen Kui, I will die with you if I am named on the gold medal list. I would rather be a centurion than a scholar. The battlefield is my destination." Chen Kui said softly.
My predecessor was very keen on the imperial examination, and quite a bit regarded it as the only thing in life. In this era, many scholars were like this, and they had to go to the single-plank bridge.
"Emperor Taizong has such a good strategy and makes the hero grow old!"
Chen Kui did not feel any physical or mental discomfort because of saying these words. There was no obsession, no integration, and no resistance. The original Chen Kui had long since returned to the underworld and disappeared into thin air. Now he is a brand new person.
Chen Kui.
However, before that, the most important thing now is to take good care of your body. You don't need to immediately return to the peak of your previous life's physical fitness. However, you must have a level of 20 to 30%, otherwise you won't be able to survive.
To do this, food and medicinal materials are needed. In the final analysis, it is a problem of money. Chen Kui is now solving this problem. The original owner buried the money underground.
Chen Kui somewhat admired the original owner's decisiveness. He sold off his land and property, settled in a secluded place, far away from the bustling city, and concentrated on studying behind closed doors. He also had a long-term perspective. He considered that he might not be able to obtain fame immediately, so in order to ensure that he would still be able to do so in the future.
You can concentrate on studying and bury most of your money. You can dig it out when needed in the future. You don't need to run around for food and clothing.
As for the specific amount, it’s been so long that I forgot about it, but it’s quite a lot anyway.
The hoe in my hand was originally planned to be sold together. Since I wasn’t farming anyway, there was no use keeping it. But later on, the original owner kept the hoe. The purpose was to encourage myself to study hard. Whenever the original owner was distracted,
Every time, I would look at this hoe and warn myself in my heart - if you don't study hard, you will have to work hard in the fields with a hoe in the future, and you will never get ahead.
Come to think of it, it's really a little inspiring.
After two rests, Chen Kui finally found what he wanted - a small clay pot. He pulled the pot out of the soil with great effort, put it on the table, and wiped the sweat on his head. Chen Kui couldn't help but sigh again.
I took a breath, this body is so bad, so bad that I don’t look like a young man at all.
He opened the pottery jar and took out a tightly wrapped white-blue homespun cloth. After opening it, three ingots of silver of different sizes were revealed.
"Good guy, you are a rich man! I thought it was copper coins, but it turned out to be silver. You are too stingy. Why don't you eat more? You deserve to die on the way."
"Book of Heaven, come out."
ps: In the Song Dynasty, copper coins were mainly used as currency, but since it was Water Margin, according to the writing of Water Margin, copper coins and gold and silver precious metals were used as currency.
