Chapter 272 What are you afraid of?
As soon as the third grade student took action, the whole team was busy.
At the beginning, there were indeed only four teams, Chunque, and Wu Gui who volunteered to train with the third grade students.
But after Zhou Yunshu joined, Yan Shilei, Kang Jingyu and his servant also followed to learn, and even the young Cen Miaoying followed silently.
Because she felt that Zhou Yunshu was right, it was always a good idea to learn more.
It’s just that the scene of all of them training together, those who know know that they are on a long-distance inspection, while those who don’t know would think that they are from some military garrison on a long-distance training.
It was very hard and tiring, but except for Meng Nan, who would sometimes collapse on the ground and cry silently thinking of his wife and children because he was so exhausted, everyone else in the team persevered.
There was no way around it. The four teams were in competition with each other. If one person showed any weakness, the people from the other three teams would still laugh at you mercilessly even if they were exhausted themselves.
Meng Nan is the one who is often ridiculed. He himself doesn't care, but the people in his team and his brother are blushing.
In order not to delay the journey, no matter how tired they were after each training session, everyone would relax their muscles according to the massage techniques taught by Chunque, otherwise they might collapse on the straw mat and be unable to get up the next day.
It is tiring, but the training results are gratifying. Everyone's appetite is amazing.
When they discovered that there was not enough food in the caravan, they had just left Qishui Village for seven days. They had eaten up a full car and a half of food, plus the game and fish they had hunted.
"Sir, Chengping County is about thirty miles ahead." Yan Shilei said to Zhou Yunshu who was looking at a map.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the Chengping County mentioned by Yan Shilei on the map and said to the others who had only had two bowls of porridge that morning, "Let's move forward at full speed. When we reach Chengping County at noon, we'll rest for a night and have a good meal."
"good!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Because Zhou Yunshu has been training with them during this period, both Gan Zhiyong, Wan Zhong and others from Qishui Village, as well as those who joined later like Meng Bei and Meng Nan, have great respect for Zhou Yunshu.
Not to mention that she looked like a thin scholar, but she was not inferior to them in training; just the fact that she did not have a bad temper as a master, and they found it extremely rare to be able to eat, live and chat with them.
You have to know that many landlords treat the people on their farms or their slaves no differently than they treat animals.
They became more and more convinced of Zhou Yunshu because they felt from the bottom of their hearts that Zhou Yunshu did not regard them as objects to be beaten or killed, but as human beings.
In addition, Zhou Yunshu is really generous to them, or to her own people.
"Mengbei's team won first place in the last drill, so after entering the city, your entire team will have half a day off, plus a reward of five taels of silver."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, Meng Bei was the first to jump up and cheer with his people. Especially when they saw the envious eyes of the other three teams, their joy was even greater and they jumped higher.
"Brothers, where are the five taels of silver? What do you want to do with them?"
"Let's go to the restaurant!"
"I want to buy a mahogany hairpin for my wife. How much is it?"
"As long as I can eat meat, I'll do anything!"
"You are stupid! The master said he would take us to the city to eat delicious food. We can save our own money!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at them and saw that they were not shy about their discussion at all. She smiled and got into the carriage.
While Meng Bei and his friends were excitedly making plans for after entering the city, they began to pack up their things. It was at this time that Meng Nan came over.
"Brother, take me with you when you eat meat!"
Meng Bei got angry just looking at Meng Nan, "Who is your brother? When we were sparring, didn't you arrogantly ask me to call you brother from now on?"
Meng Nan touched his head and laughed, "Hahaha, brother, I was just talking casually."
"Brother, I want to eat meat." Meng Nan looked at his elder brother eagerly.
"You look like a piece of meat to me!"
"Brother~"
"Mennan, we're leaving!" Gan Zhiyong shouted at Mengnan who was sneaking away from his team.
What a loser! He was coaxed away by a piece of meat.
Meng Nan looked at his brother, then at his team leader, thought for a while, and ran back to his team.
After spending a long time together, Gan Zhiyong and others also got to know Meng Nan's personality. Although he looks fierce, he is actually a simple man.
"Didn't your brother give it to you?"
Meng Nan pouted and nodded, "But it's okay, I'll grab it when he eats it."
Gan Zhiyong looked at Meng Nan speechlessly, "If the master knew about this, he would definitely give you two extra hours of training."
The light in Meng Nan's eyes instantly went out. He secretly glanced in Zhou Yunshu's direction and asked Gan Zhiyong, "What should we do then?"
His brain is not as good as Gan Zhiyong's, but fortunately he is obedient.
Gan Zhiyong looked at Meng Bei and the others with hatred and said, "Next time we spar, if we run into Meng Bei's team, Meng Nan, you go and pin down all the weaklings on their team, and the five of us will take turns beating Meng Bei."
Gan Zhiyong looked at Meng Nan, who was staring at him blankly, and asked, "Do you know what your brother is most afraid of?"
Meng Nan said without hesitation: "I'm afraid of my mother, but my mother is gone."
Gan Zhiyong: "...What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of my daughter, but Jiaojiao is in your village."
Gan Zhiyong took a deep breath, "What else?"
Meng Nan thought hard, and then thought again, "Does being afraid of starvation count?"
After Meng Nan finished speaking, Gan Zhiyong glared at him, saying that he was just talking nonsense.
Meng Nan kept smiling foolishly.
He is not stupid. Although he and his brother are not in the same team, he cannot betray his own brother.
Perhaps they knew they could have a good meal in the county town, so they arrived in just one hour instead of the usual two-hour journey.
But this county town is not so easy to enter.
When Zhou Yunshu and her group were queuing outside the city, they saw with their own eyes that a soldier at the city gate kicked a farmer and sent him flying. Then he kicked away the vegetables on the cart next to him, and even the eggs in the basket broke into pieces on the ground.
"What nonsense! You can't even come up with a penny and you still want to go into the city? What are you daydreaming about in broad daylight?"
"Master, this cart of vegetables we have can't even sell for a penny. Wasn't it only one penny before? Why…"
Before the farmer could finish his words, he was kicked over by the soldier again and fell onto his own wheel.
"This county is now under the jurisdiction of the Prince of Huainan. Do you think you can just enter the prince's territory whenever you want? If you can't afford it, get out of here!"
This kind of thing happened more than once. Even if someone paid the entrance fee, if they wanted to bring their own goods into the city, they would have to pay an additional entrance fee for the goods.
Zhou Yunshu and her group were originally at the back of the line, but because people in front of them kept turning around and leaving because of the outrageous entrance fee, it was their turn soon.
