Shen Fuchong was about to inspect his disciple's study status when someone suddenly came to visit the Wang family.
The visitors were the village owner Fang Ayuan, the carpenter Liu Han and the hunter Yuan Gang, followed by their sons.
Most of the residents of Chuanqingzhai have unusual origins.
Fang Ayuan's ancestors were slaves in the Yuan Dynasty, and Liu Han was a fugitive craftsman from Guizhou City.
As for Yuan Gang, he claimed that his ancestor was the adopted son of Zhao Pusheng. Because he was not tolerated by Chen Youliang, he fled from Huguang to Guizhou incognito.
Seriously speaking, Yuan Gang can also be regarded as Wang Yuan's teacher, and he taught him the magic of archery.
Moreover, in the entire Chuanqing Village, only Yuan Gang truly understood that Wang Yuan's sword skills were more powerful than his archery skills, and it was useless to hide his secrets when he taught sword skills - Zhao Pusheng's nickname back then was called "Double Sword Zhao" , the beating made Xu Da completely lose his temper.
It's a pity that when it was passed down to Yuan Gang's generation, only the skills of swordsmanship and archery were left, while the art of war and other such things had long been lost, and they didn't even recognize the words.
Yuan Gang was tall and tall. He looked down at Shen Fucong, pointed at the latter's nose and asked, "Are you the gentleman that Brother Yuan invited up the mountain?"
This attitude made Master Shen extremely dissatisfied, but he could only recall that Gou Jian, Han Xin and other sages of the past generations were not the same as such rude people.
Master Shen immediately bowed and replied with a smile: "I am Shen Fucong, whose courtesy name is Weitang."
"I heard that you are very knowledgeable," Yuan Gang smoothly pulled his two sons over. "This is my second son, Yuan Zhi, and my third son, Yuan Da. They will study with you from now on. If these two little bastards are disobedient, feel free to How do you beat him? If he's beaten to death, call me to collect his body. If he's beaten to death, don't talk nonsense to me."
Master Shen laughed repeatedly: "No, no."
Yuan Zhi was almost fifteen years old. He looked at Master Shen with disdain and said to his father: "Dad, is this sick man qualified to teach me? I can kill him with one hand!"
"Snapped!"
"boom!"
Yuan Gang slapped his son in circles, then kicked him again, sending his son flying against the wall, and scolded: "You know how to use a hammer! No matter how good you are in archery and swordsmanship, in the end you are just a barbarian who can only study." Only by learning can you have a future!"
Yuan Zhi squatted in the corner and fainted for a while. He covered his red and swollen cheeks and said, "Carpenter Liu is also literate. He can't survive outside. He can only live by escaping to Wechuan Qingzhai."
"Carpenter Liu is just a loser!" Yuan Gang was furious and raised his fist to beat his son again.
Liu Carpenter was shot inexplicably and said with an embarrassed smile: "Brother Yuan, you can just teach your son a lesson, why bother to bury me as well?"
Yuan Gang looked at him with contempt and showed no face at all: "You were just a ball, a coward, and you didn't even dare to go down the mountain to snatch a bride. If blind man Zhou hadn't been bitten to death by a wolf and his wife had made do with you, you would still be here today. You're a bachelor! That's all. A tall, seven-foot-tall man is actually afraid of his wife! Was the wound on your face scratched by your wife last night?"
The title "wife" already existed in the Song Dynasty, and "father" and "mother" appeared earlier, so please don't find fault.
"Ahem." Liu Carpenter coughed repeatedly, burying his head and saying nothing.
The population of Heishan Lingzhai is about 1,200, and marriages between men and women are generally relatively normal. Only newcomers who have just come to the mountain, due to unfavorable conditions for land reclamation, poverty, or have passed the marriageable age, will be forced to go down the mountain to snatch their bride.
Wang Yuan's father belongs to the first type. He went up the mountain to cultivate a few acres of land. Due to the lack of water, manure and seeds, his life was very bad in the first few years. For this kind of poor man, the girls in the village looked down on him and had no choice but to run away. Yamashita snatches women and starts a family.
Liu Carpenter belongs to the second type. He is over thirty years old when he fled to the mountains. Although he is very popular for his carpenter skills, he has a weak character and can only live with the widow.
Of course, there is a third type, those who are crooked and have cracked melons or jujubes, or are physically ill, and the women in the village are unwilling to marry, so they have to go outside to grab them.
Yuan Gang and Liu Carpenter, one was arrogant and the other was weak, instantly making the atmosphere tense.
The leader of the village, Fang Ayuan, knew the rules well and said to Mr. Shen: "Mr. Shen, a sheep is driven, and a group of sheep is herded. Since you are teaching Wang Er to read, you might as well teach these children too."
One Wang Yuan is already difficult enough to serve, but he also asked me to teach a group of barbarian children?
Master Shen suddenly felt a splitting headache, but he did not dare to refuse directly. He could only say: "Master Fang, Heishanling Village has not registered households. The children in the village cannot participate in the imperial examination, and there is no use in studying."
"That's it." Fang Ayuan didn't give the other party a chance to shirk. "As for whether studying is useful or not, we'll decide later. Is this person still afraid of learning too much while living in this world?"
Master Shen bit the bullet and flattered him: "The leader of the village is far-sighted and what he said is very true. I admire him."
Only Carpenter Liu was respectful and bowed down with his fists clasped in thanks: "Mr. Shen, my son will be entrusted to you. After the harvest is over, I will build a set of furniture for you to repay your kindness for your guidance."
This reminded Fang Ayuan that the leader of Fang Village was very generous: "Mr. Shen's rations will be provided by someone from our side. I will definitely let you eat meat every month!"
Master Shen, unable to resist, actually hit the snake with a stick and asked shyly: "Do you have any wine?"
"What do you think?" Fang Ayuan asked with a sneer.
Master Shen immediately shrank his neck and apologized: "I'm just asking, haha, just asking."
From then on, Shen Fucong's number of students increased from one to five and a half.
Four of them are Fang Ayuan's youngest son Fang Zheng, Yuan Gang's second son Yuan Zhi, third son Yuan Da, and Liu Carpenter's only son Liu Yaozu - these children were all given names by the cultural figure Liu Carpenter .
The other half is, of course, brothers Wang Yuan and Wang Meng.
Wang Meng could only be considered a half-student. He was brought in by his younger brother to watch for a while every day, and then he went to work with his father. His mind was not on studying, but on getting married, and he was quietly falling in love with the second daughter of the village leader.
The adults left quickly, and several students sat in front of the blackboard. Everyone except Wang Yuan and Liu Yaozu were deserting.
Before Shen Fucong could speak, the oldest Yuan Zhi asked: "Mr. Shen, how did you get exiled here? Could it be that you were caught stealing someone's wife?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Fang Zheng suddenly burst into laughter. The young master of the village master's family pointed at Shen Fucong and said, "It must be true. I heard that Han people are guilty of adultery."
Master Shen's face darkened, and he held the peacock feather fan upside down as a ruler: "Your father has given instructions that anyone who disobeys will be beaten to death!"
Yuan Zhi stood up suddenly and was taller than Master Shen: "Sick Yangzi, try hitting me!"
Master Shen immediately stopped talking, thinking about how to find the steps.
Liu Yaozu timidly reminded: "Brother Yuan, my father said that you should respect your teacher. Your teacher is the sky, and what we are students is the earth. You can't talk to your teacher like this."
When Master Shen heard this, he was overjoyed and moved inexplicably: God is so pitiful, I finally have a well-behaved disciple.
Yuan Zhi kicked Liu Yaozu over and punched him twice: "Your father is a softie. He doesn't even have the guts to steal a bride. What he says means nothing!"
Liu Yaozu was beaten so hard that he held his head in his hands, squatted on the ground and trembled: "No... you are not allowed to say bad... bad things about my father... Ah, Brother Yuan, don't hit me, you will beat me to death!"
Wang Yuan, who had been watching the show silently, finally spoke: "Yuan Er, have you had enough trouble?"
Yuan Zhi glanced at Wang Yuan, raised his nostrils to the sky and said, "Why, Wang Er, you don't accept it, don't you? Come on, let's have a fight, whoever wins will listen."
"Okay." Wang Yuan slowly stood up.
Yuan Zhi is fifteen years old and Wang Yuan is ten years old. When they stand together, they can tell each other immediately from their height.
Liu Yaozu plucked up the courage to get up and secretly pulled Wang Yuan's clothes: "Wang Er, be careful. Brother Yuan's fists are very powerful, and hitting people is extremely painful. Several times I thought I was going to die."
Yuan Zhi rolled up his sleeves and said: "Wang Er, you are my father's apprentice. You are indeed good at archery, but it is hard to compare with fists. My father told me not to fight with you, but you really kicked your nose."
Is it on your face? Today I’m going to show you how awesome it is!”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I think you must have misunderstood. Your father said that because he was afraid that you would be beaten too badly by me."
"With your small body?" Yuan Zhi looked disdainful, "Even if I stand and let you hit me, it's just like scratching an itch!"
"Then try it." Wang Yuan's smile became brighter.
Yuan Zhi stood tall and confident, patted his chest and said: "Come on, I'll let you fight!"
Wang Yuan raised his fist and punched him.
Yuan Zhi's face instantly turned pale, and his facial features were deformed in pain. He bent over and covered his waist, shouting in pain: "You, you, you... don't hit me on the waist!"
"Okay." Wang Yuan followed suit and raised his legs to sweep across the opponent's head.
Yuan Zhi quickly raised his arms to block him, and suddenly felt excruciating pain, as if he had been hit with an iron rod, and his bones seemed to be broken.
Before Yuan Zhi could regain his composure, he saw a fist getting bigger and bigger, hitting his left eye socket hard, and he instantly felt as if his eye had been blown out.
Then he was punched in the forehead again. Yuan Zhi subconsciously covered his forehead, and his stomach was hit by a knee again. His internal organs were in a state of turmoil, and with a "wow" sound, he vomited out all the food he had eaten the night before.
Wang Yuan continued to beat him violently, and Yuan Da who was next to him quickly came over and tried to pull him back: "Wang Er, stop beating me, my second brother is going to be beaten to death by you!"
"Are you convinced?" Wang Yuan asked.
Yuan Zhi lay on the ground and curled up in a ball. His whole body ached. He didn't know where to cover his hands. He cried: "I'm done with it, I'm done with it. Wang Er, your fists are powerful. I will listen to you from now on!"
Wang Yuan straightened his sleeves, with a gentle manner and a humble attitude. He cupped his fists towards Master Shen and said, "Students are the best at persuading others with reason. Yuan Er has been convinced by me and promises not to cause trouble in class. Sir, please start the lecture."
"
Master Shen looked at Yuan Zhi who had been beaten into a pig's head, and then looked at the puddle of overnight meal on the ground. He couldn't help but open his mouth, and nodded subconsciously: "Ah... Okay, okay, let's talk, let's talk."
