Chapter 5 Can She See?
It takes dozens of miles of mountain road from the village to Jianghuan Town. If you don’t get up early, the market will be closed by the time you get to the town.
So not only Chen Yushu got up early, but his father Chen Baihe also got up early.
After washing up, the two walked out of the house together.
On the day of the big market, there are naturally many people in the village who want to rush to the town.
Hunter Chen Ping, blacksmith Zhao Shan, and herbalists like Chen Baihe all brought some mountain products and tools, hoping to sell them for a good price. Of course, there were also some women in the village who followed them to buy things.
Mountain roads are difficult to travel on, so it is safer to travel with companions.
Therefore, when the sky was just getting light, a lot of people had already gathered at the entrance of the village.
"Wait a little longer, someone else should be coming."
The speaker was Chen Ping, a hunter in the village. It was said that he once killed a tiger with just one arrow.
Chen Yushu believes that he is also the most likely person in the village who has practiced martial arts.
Chen Yushu had thought about this before. If there was really no other way, he would find an opportunity to learn martial arts from him, or at least learn some archery.
However, this idea was rejected by his father.
Hunters are inherently more dangerous than Chen Baihe, the herbalist, so he naturally doesn't want his son to learn it.
After knowing that his father had other arrangements, he did not insist.
Sure enough, after a while, two more people came over quickly.
“It’s her!”
Chen Yushu was stunned. The people who came were the girl he met yesterday, Qiaowaer, and her mother, Liu.
When they saw the two of them, the people around them showed a hint of disgust on their faces, but no one said anything.
"Okay, let's go."
Seeing this, Chen Ping nodded and walked forward first.
Seeing this, the others hurried to follow.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on and the road was muddy, not to mention that everyone was carrying more or less things, so the speed was not fast.
After all, Chen Yushu was weak and felt a little tired after walking for a while, but he occasionally saw Liu Qiaoer walking at the back. She looked thin, but her steps were steady, and she seemed not to be affected at all... He could only grit his teeth and persevere.
This damn competitive spirit!
Chen Yushu was breathing heavily. If his father hadn't been there to help him from time to time, he would have found it difficult to hold on.
“I am still too weak now.
I hope to learn martial arts as soon as possible so that I can improve my physical fitness."
Chen Yushu sighed slightly and glanced at the attribute panel.
Name: Chen Yushu
Age: 12
Skill:
Reading: Understanding the Meaning (12/200), Calligraphy: Self-Defense (73/100), Throwing: Getting Started (15/100)
…
After the past two days, my reading level has improved.
From 'literacy' to 'understanding the meaning'.
Although the experience points required for the upgrade doubled, he did feel that after the upgrade, he could better understand the content and some of the principles.
In a trance, there is also a feeling that people have become smarter.
The effect is excellent.
Even his spirit was subtly different, as if he had an extra scholarly spirit.
The only thing that made him a little regretful was that this was only an improvement in knowledge, and it did not increase his physical strength at all.
In comparison, the improvement in calligraphy is much smaller.
This seemed normal to him.
After all, calligraphy needs to be written with a pen and carried on paper, so it will improve rapidly.
His conditions are limited, and as long as he can see progress, he will be satisfied.
“Not to mention.
After two days, in addition to reading and writing, I also tried throwing exercises, which also showed results. I immediately formed a skill and got into the basics."
A smile appeared on Chen Yushu's face.
Even if it's just getting started.
But the meaning it represents is completely different.
Because this means that he only needs to continue practicing and this skill will be improved directly.
If you practice to a high level, it is not impossible to do it. You can hit whatever you point at and never miss the target.
This is a real means of attack and the first step in his exploration.
…
Because they had to take care of the elderly and children, the group stopped and walked frequently.
Suddenly, there was a sound of trumpets coming from the front.
From a distance, a funeral procession was seen coming from a village towards the mountain road.
“It’s Xiaoshi Village.
The one who died should be the hunter Jiang San from Xiaoshi Village."
Someone in the crowd spoke up.
They are all from the surrounding villages, and are more or less related, so they naturally know some of the situation.
Many people know that Jiang San, a hunter from Xiaoshi Village, encountered a wild boar and had his intestines pushed out. He was very lucky to have survived for so many days and was not buried until today.
Because there was only one road going up and down the mountain, the two sides soon collided with each other.
Chen Yushu was also in the team and saw Uncle Zhong. Besides him, there was also the old man he met at the door of Uncle Zhong's house last time.
That old man should be the master of the house and the biological father of the person in the coffin.
When the dead pass by, the living give way.
Of course, they were all standing on the edge early on.
When I saw Uncle Zhong, I just said hello and didn't dare to disturb him too much.
Chen Yushu stood beside Chen Baihe, curiously watching the young men carrying the coffin slowly approaching.
Boom!
Suddenly, Chen Yushu was stunned.
He heard a sound like knocking on wood.
Boom!
After a while, the second sound came.
Boom!
Another sound.
Moreover, the sound became clearer as the funeral procession approached.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One sound after another.
He soon discovered that the sound came from above the coffin.
It was as if someone was banging on the coffin.
Banging on the coffin?
Is there such a custom among burials?
Moreover, he looked at the people carrying the coffin. Each of them was several steps away from the coffin, and no one hit the coffin with a stick. It seemed that they were unaware of it. His heart suddenly trembled.
This sound came from inside the coffin?
The people inside are not dead?
He opened his mouth and was about to speak when suddenly he heard a muffled sound.
Then he suddenly saw a figure sitting up directly from the coffin.
This figure actually passed through the coffin lid, and the upper body appeared on the coffin lid.
But the cover was sealed tightly at this time, without any signs of cracking. The figure sat up openly. From his angle, he could even see a large piece of rottenness on his stomach, and a bunch of things that looked like strings of things were spilled out.
A cold atmosphere filled the air.
Chen Yushu's face turned pale in an instant.
This feeling is so familiar.
It seems like just a few days ago.
At this moment, it seemed that it was still unclear about the situation. It slowly turned its head, as if observing something.
It was also at this time that Chen Yushu saw its face clearly. It looked like a young man, but his face was purple, his eyes were half closed, and a hint of cold light was faintly revealed.
Almost subconsciously, he looked away and looked for help at Uncle Zhong who was walking in front.
However, Uncle Zhong at this time did not seem to notice this situation. He was still muttering something and walking forward step by step.
The burial procession did not stop for a moment, and the four young men carrying the coffin walked silently amid the sound of trumpets and wailing.
But because of this, Chen Yushu saw Liu Qiaoer not far away. She was also looking at the coffin, or to be exact, the figure on the coffin.
She can see?!
