Chapter 56: First Update: The Stone Will Be Opened

“Squeak—”

In the dead of winter, even with the noise of Han Jingsan, the crisp sound of the old wooden door opening was still very obvious and caught everyone's ears at once.

As if the pause button was pressed, the voices disappeared all of a sudden. They all turned around and saw that the cabin had opened and a short old man in an old cotton jacket walked out.

At first glance, it looks quite ordinary, of medium height, with ordinary looks and dark skin. There are a lot of them in the village.

But if you compare carefully, you will find that his hair is still mostly black and thick, and there are many wrinkles around his eyes, but his eyes are clear and bright, and he looks like an energetic old man.

He opened his mouth with full energy: "What are you arguing about? You have driven away all the ants in the yard."

Ye Yu looked at Old Man Wang with a speechless look. She could understand that he seemed to be a master, but in fact he had a bit of social anxiety because he had been away from people for too long. The excuse he came up with was too lame. It would be fine even if it could fool a sleepyhead.

Well, it all sucks.

Old Master Wang glared back at Ye Yu and said, "Don't think he doesn't know just because she's watching the show nearby. This girl has sharp ears and she must have heard everything he did in the room."

Elm leaves:

...pacing back and forth?

Got caught, social phobia.

The eye battle between the old and the young was not noticed by Han Jing and the other two. These three educated youth were much more polite than Ye Yu. They apologized politely, introduced themselves politely, and stated the purpose of their trip to Nanshan, which was to be sincere.

Compared to Ye Yu's rebelliousness of throwing snakes into the yard, he is so obedient.

But Master Wang is also a rebellious person, and he replied impatiently: "Don't you have a more powerful master? Why do you go to such a long way to find this old man?"

Han Jing answered honestly: "Ye Yu said that through daily exercise, we may be as strong as Uncle Wang." He touched the back of his head and smiled foolishly, "Ye Yu rarely exaggerates people, and we also want to see how great Uncle Wang is that she praises him for."

Xu Fei nodded, and Hua Feifei agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, we hope to learn a lot from Uncle Wang."

When the old man heard Ye Yu praising him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but it was not obvious. He said reservedly: "Now that you have seen it, it's time to go back!"

He was clearly moved by the three educated youths, but he refused to admit it.

Han Jing, Xu Fei, Hua Feifei: "..."

Finally, Ye Yu jumped down from the tree and broke the suffocating silence: "They are all good young people with great potential. You can give them a try. Isn't it a pity that I can't pass on my skills?"

After careful inquiries, it was found that the forest ranger had looked for disciples in the village, and the captain was one of them. However, learning martial arts really requires talent and diligence. Wang Jiagou was the only one who could achieve something in all these years. This is also the reason why many cultures of Ye Kingdom are difficult to pass on.

"It's too late."

Old Master Wang shook his head, his eyes filled with pity. He could see that these children were all good people, hardworking, and had a fighting spirit.

But he is already seventeen or eighteen years old, and his body is almost fully grown. No matter how much he trains, he can only reach the level of a team leader at best, and it will be very hard.

The old man was also very curious, why did Ye Yu say that they might be the same as him?

Could it be that the inheritance is different?

Ye Yu's skills are extraordinary. Could it be that he has inherited some higher martial arts?

Old Master Wang was itching to do so. He had practiced martial arts alone for so many years, and now it was a rare opportunity to communicate with another successor. How could he not be excited?

Ye Yu replied: "It's not too late. You're almost grown up. Isn't it that you haven't grown up yet?"

It has always been recognized by those who are engaged in the martial arts industry that learning martial arts is difficult.

Firstly, not everyone can endure this kind of hardship, especially in the age of lying low, when few people can get checked for morning and evening jogging several times a week; secondly, learning martial arts depends on talent, and one has to learn from an early age. Even if a child has talent, he or she is not mature enough mentally and does not have enough comprehension. In addition, which parent would be willing to let their child learn martial arts?

Moreover, if one is not careful and does not exercise correctly, not only will it not strengthen the body, it may also harm the body and even shorten life. This is what people who practice martial arts often call "being possessed by the devil." In martial arts novels, it is even labeled as "going astray and becoming possessed by the devil."

Because of this, the martial arts tradition was almost completely lost in the next two to three hundred years.

Nothing changed until the end of the world. The changes brought about by the end of the world were not only in martial arts, but also in many traditional skills and life techniques that were a return to the farming era.

We are only talking about martial arts here.

The changes in the sun have improved the physical fitness of both those with special abilities and ordinary people. Based on this, martial artists have finally evolved several martial arts methods that can be learned by everyone.

Han Jing and the others' epiphyseal lines have not yet closed, so of course they can learn. Even for adults, it is not completely impossible with some special medicinal baths and acupuncture. Ye Yu himself learned martial arts after he became an adult.

Mr. Wang said, "You know what's going on, why are you looking for me again?"

"I have never taught students before, and I am afraid that I might not be careful enough and end up destroying their bodies. Also, I would like to ask you to teach me some external skills."

Ye Yu's words were absolutely sincere. Those who teach in the apocalypse are very simple and rough. Some of them will throw their disciples into the pile of monsters and will not take action until they are dead or disabled. In such a cruel environment in the apocalypse, it is useless to die. For this reason, if you really want to teach people martial arts, you need a pillar of support in the rear.

The teaching ceremony is ready.

The few prey were temporary and had already been piled up in her yard; considering that the old man was not short of prey, and her mother Wang Laidi happened to have sent her a few feet of new cloth, she could make a new set of clothes, but she had not had time to find a craftsman.

Isn't it a bit anxious for Hua Feifei and the others?

Ye Yu would definitely not have been willing to go through such a plan when he first went to the countryside, but being among a group of idealists will always influence people.

Ye Yu is no exception.

She seemed to be able to do something for this era and even for that tragic future of mankind, and her life would not be in vain. Ye Weiguo's sports training just gave her inspiration.

Of course, there is another reason. These operations are not difficult. They are just a piece of cake for her. They also add a little fun to the leisurely life in the countryside.

After his wife passed away, Mr. Wang had been alone for more than ten years. Some people in the village advised him to remarry, but he was unwilling to do so. He just wanted to have brothers and descendants to carry on the family line. However, he was obsessed with martial arts and was very proud of his skills. It was a pity that he had not found a successor.

After hearing what Ye Yu said, the old man sighed and opened the gate: "Come in!"

Han Jingsan's face instantly lit up with smiles. He looked at Ye Yu with gratitude and queued up to go into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that this cabin does not look very big horizontally, but it is deeper than ordinary houses vertically. Both windows are on the east side, and the sunlight on the top of the mountain is clear.

There was no kang in the room, but there was a stove, so the convection windows were always open.

There are not many decorations but it is neat and clean.

There is a square table, a chair, and several wooden stools, all made of old mahogany. There is actually a bookshelf against the south wall. The bookshelf is not big, with only a few dozen books. But in the countryside, there are a lot of illiterate people, let alone book collections. This bookshelf is inevitably a bit surprising.

The books on this bookshelf are also very rich in content.

The Red Book was also destroyed, as it was of good origin; "The Book of Eradicating Illiteracy", "The Story of Spreading Fire", "The Battle of the River Crossing", "Heroic Stories" and so on were also okay; "Tao Te Ching" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" were destroyed if not reported in the city, and big problems would definitely arise if reported; "How the Steel Was Tempered" was even more of a foreign language book, and many of them were destroyed in the city.

Almost everyone present had read these books. Even if they hadn't, they knew their contents. Xu Fei pushed his glasses and said, "Now that things are chaotic outside, it's better to hide anything related to foreign languages ​​and metaphysics to avoid being caught by them."

"Are you kidding? Let's wait until they can climb up this Nanshan Mountain." Old Master Wang spoke and acted with the bloodiness of a war veteran. What he said made sense. Most of the Gs were making trouble in the city. Even if they went to the countryside for inspection, they would not climb this Nanshan Mountain.

Han Jing had heard many such passionate words from his grandfather before, but the situation has been tense in recent years, especially this year, and even his grandfather has to restrain himself for the sake of his family.

The old man also talked about his master, who was a traveling Taoist priest named Wuchuan.

During the war, Taoists and monks were not immune to the consequences. Many heroes also sacrificed their lives for justice. Some Taoist temples were even requisitioned as base headquarters.

In the end times, those who can use martial arts to save countless lives are also heroes.

Ye Yu said the name of her base instructor: "Gan Lin." As for the adjective,

"A big girl from Northeast China with a bold personality."

"Female?"

The ranger was somewhat surprised.

Not only because in a feudal patriarchal society, many skills are passed down to men and not women, but also because women's physical fitness is much worse than men, and there are fewer people who practice martial arts and it is more difficult.

"Yes," Ye Yu paused and replied, "If you practice well, you can continuously narrow the physiological gap between men and women in basic qualities such as strength and speed."

Women hold up half the sky.

This is a beautiful dream, which has not been realized in any country in the world before the end of the world.

The reason is not entirely the fault of the social system. To be honest, the new society is much more advanced than the past.

Ye Yu thinks there is a saying that makes a lot of sense: "Truth is only within the range of cannons, and dignity is only above the blade of a sword." This can be applied between countries and between men and women. In other words, the fundamental reason is the gap in fists between men and women.

In the last days, when women’s fists are stronger than men’s, nothing will be a problem anymore.

Of course, there are also psychological and environmental factors. The invention of technological weapons can also reduce the danger between men and women. No, no, no, the gap in strength.

"Really?" As a girl, Hua Feifei was naturally very interested. When she was a child, she also dreamed of becoming a strongman. Just thinking about it was exciting. "I can't wait."

Seeing that Mr. Wang was also very interested, Ye Yu agreed to give it a try, but she said something ugly beforehand: "I hope you can still laugh later."
