Chapter 3 Is that magic you cast?
Glance at the properties panel.
Name: Chen Yushu
Age: 12
Skill:
Reading: Literacy (22/100), Calligraphy: Self-defense (27/100)
…
Seeing that there was indeed some progress in the 'reading' and 'literacy' items above, he was satisfied.
"This should be the function of the attribute panel. It can show the improvement progress of a skill at any time.
Moreover, once recorded, it will never be forgotten.
Once you have learned something, you have learned it. Once you know it, you know it. There will be no forgetting or regression.
I can intuitively feel that I am better today than I was yesterday.
Moreover, once I read carefully, even if I already know every word, my reading experience can still be increased. Although it is only a little, I have a feeling that as long as I work hard, I will gain something.
In other words, even if I don't have any other books, I can master the "Three Character Classic" to the 100% level of literacy?"
Chen Yushu had already determined the progress changes of this attribute panel long before.
Every time you read it carefully, you can make a little progress in your reading.
Of course, if you just glance over it superficially, it won't work, and you won't gain any experience points. Moreover, the further you go, the less experience points you gain, unlike the beginning, where you can directly gain three or four experience points.
Obviously, this book can no longer meet his reading needs.
However, he did not put the book away directly. Instead, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and began to write words on the ground stroke by stroke.
This is when he started practicing calligraphy.
After reading, you should write.
But due to limited conditions, he could only use a wooden stick as a pen and the ground as paper.
He wrote every stroke very carefully.
In his previous life, he forgot how to write when he picked up a pen, and he hasn't written seriously for more than ten years.
Calligraphy? He doesn't even know how to hold the brush.
Therefore, the realm of his calligraphy is "self-defense", and he can guess the meaning - only he can recognize it.
He didn't care about it and wrote carefully, stroke by stroke.
After half an hour, he finished writing a Three Character Classic.
Reading +1
Calligraphy +3
Reading: literacy (23/100), calligraphy: self-defense (30/100).
Every time you write, it is a reading process that deepens your memory, so both can be increased.
The improvement is not big though.
But he was very satisfied.
Especially when looking at the words on the ground, I vaguely noticed that the font seemed to be a little neater.
When he started to read and write, his parents actually got up earlier.
The two of them went to the fields together to do some farm work. Their mother, Zhao Hehua, did not come back until the sun was halfway up. She was not idle after coming back. She went straight into the kitchen and started to light a fire and cook.
Of course, it wasn't breakfast that was prepared.
In the concept of most people in Beijiao Village, there is no breakfast, only two meals: breakfast and lunch.
Generally, the first meal is eaten around 9 to 11 o'clock.
We agreed to entertain Uncle Zhong yesterday. Although the Chen family is not rich, they will not go back on their word.
A wisp of smoke rose, and Chen Yushu returned to the room and took out the second book.
"Hundred Family Surnames".
Less than half an hour later.
Chen Yushu finished reading it for the first time and also wrote the book again.
The meal at home is also ready.
Chen Baihe also followed him home. When he saw Chen Yushu, he greeted him and said, "Yushu, go to the east end of the village and ask Uncle Zhong to come over."
Chen Yushu responded and walked out of the yard.
The entire Beijiao Village is not big. It is located along a river from east to north. Households are scattered on both sides of the river, with only a bridge in the middle.
This bridge is an old-fashioned wooden bridge. Although it is very stable, he would feel a little nervous every time he walked on it. Because when he looked down from the bridge, there was a huge stone upstream. This stone was like a fish's mouth, tilted from top to bottom, and there was a groove on the edge that looked like a fish's eye. The lower half was blocked by river mud and sand, so it was not too obvious.
But according to the old people in the village, most of the stone was exposed a few years ago, and the outline was more obvious. There were stones connected to the bottom of the "fish mouth", just like a real big fish coming out of water.
The mouth was open, as if it wanted to eat someone.
It was also during that time that things were very evil here. Every year, people would drown under the bridge in the river, which was not very deep.
After crossing the bridge, he soon arrived at Uncle Zhong's house.
At this time, it seemed that someone wanted to ask Uncle Zhong to do something. When he came in, he just heard the other party say, "You must come on October 8th."
"I understand. It won't be a problem."
Then, it was Uncle Zhong’s voice.
The man nodded and walked out of Uncle Zhong's yard. Chen Yushu took a look at the man. He was an old man in his forties or fifties, dressed simply. He ignored him and left.
"Uncle Zhong, come to my house for dinner."
Chen Yushu shouted quickly.
Then he entered the yard.
The yard of Uncle Zhong's house is not big, and the hall can be seen directly from the door. There is a statue in the center of the hall. The statue looks like an old man. Chen Yushu knows that this is the land god of the surrounding area. It is said that he was a well-known good man three hundred years ago. After his death, he was commemorated and worshipped, and evolved into a god.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhong actually invited it into his home and offered incense and worship.
It is also worth mentioning that on the altar, Chen Yushu also saw the bell that was rung yesterday and the willow whip.
In addition, there is a wooden sword and a pair of rusty scissors.
According to what Uncle Zhong said yesterday, the bell was an old artifact. Could it be that the wooden sword and scissors were also old artifacts?
I just don't know what this "old thing" is.
"It's Yushu, your father is just too polite."
Uncle Zhong saw him and asked with a smile, then said, "Are you okay now?"
"It's okay."
Chen Yushu nodded quickly.
Apart from being a little weak, he was indeed fine.
"That's good."
Uncle Zhong nodded and followed him out of the house without delay. He casually asked, "I heard that you rarely go out now and spend all your time studying at home?"
Seeing him nod, Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "It's good to study. Only when you are educated can you understand the truth and find a good way out.
If I pass the imperial examination in the future, it will bring honor to my family.
Besides, these kinds of mysterious things won’t come to our door.”
"Can reading protect you from ghosts?"
Chen Yushu was already interested in these things and asked quickly.
"Reading can't protect you from ghosts, but ghosts are afraid of people who read books and are righteous. Ghosts like the ones you encountered earlier wouldn't dare get close to them. If they did, they would be scattered.
To have a good reputation and be protected by the government is something many people envy."
Uncle Zhong was in a good mood at the moment and didn't mind talking to him about this.
"So what are your skills?
Is it a spell?"
Chen Yushu thought about it and asked again.
