Chapter 45 Literacy

Fang Zhixing said excitedly: "Old Wang, will the village head teach me the skills? Are there any conditions?"

Wang Yitong thought for a moment and replied, "Based on my understanding of the village head, as long as you can please him, not only will you get the martial arts secrets, but you will also be able to play with the women he keeps."

Fang Zhixing was moved and asked, "Mr. Lizheng, do you have any special hobbies?"

Wang Yitong waved his hand and said, "I know what you are thinking, brother. Just give him what he wants. This method should be very effective in normal times, but now pirates are rampant and our town is in danger. The head of the village is worried and frightened, and he dares not go out to play."

He said seriously: "So, I suggest that you help the village head to solve his problems."

Hearing this, Fang Zhixing's face changed for a while. He asked, "Isn't Xiaoqinghe Town very remote? Would a bandit attack here?"

Wang Yitong replied: "You don't know that due to various natural and man-made disasters, there are refugees everywhere. They are hungry and may start a riot at any time.

The gang of bandits took advantage of this and actively gathered refugees, turning them into pirates. They robbed along the 18 waterways and tributaries with great force.

Not long ago, several towns downstream from us were looted one after another."

Only then will you know and understand.

I didn't expect that the gang of bandits had some brains and actually knew how to mobilize the refugees to buy things for free.

According to the current situation, the bandits are obviously powerful and unstoppable. Unless the imperial court sends out the navy, I am afraid no one can deal with them.

How much trouble can Fang Zhixing cause with his limited ability?

Sharing worries and solving problems!

I can't do it.jpg Fang Zhixing couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wang, your family's martial arts..."

Wang Yitong was speechless. He just called the man Old Wang, and the next moment he called him Brother Wang. His expression changed so quickly.

"Don't even think about stealing my family's martial arts skills."

He waved his hand righteously and said, "To tell you the truth, my family's martial arts has long been lost. I only know the first level, and I don't have any subsequent martial arts. However, the village head has given me the second level of martial arts, on the condition that I must serve him for ten years, cannot leave during this period, and cannot pass it on to others."

Fang Zhixing understood and sighed, "I understand. There is no such thing as a free lunch."

After dinner, Fang Zhixing sat in a chair and closed his eyes in deep thought.

Seeing this, Xigou asked in a voice transmission: "What are you thinking about?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "I'm wondering how I can get the technique from Luo Kexun."

Xigou stood up and said, "Is there any need to think about this? As the saying goes: 'The law is not easily passed on, the way is not cheaply sold, the teacher is not on the way, the doctor does not knock on the door!'

If you don't pay enough, how can they give you the skills? It's impossible to get it for free!"

Fang Zhixing pretended not to hear anything and continued to talk to himself: "The best option is to do as Lao Wang said, the worst option is to steal."

"steal?"

Xigou categorically disagreed, "How dare you steal something from a powerful family? You're courting death!"

Fang Zhixing disagreed and said, "Luo Kexun is a fool. If I do everything perfectly, how could he not know that his skills have been stolen?"

The dog asked, "How can we make it watertight?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "It's very simple. First find the technique, then copy it, isn't it?"

Xigou questioned: "Let's not talk about how to find the technique first. How can you copy it if you can't read?"

Fang Zhixing raised his lips and said, "This is the headman's residence. There are many people who can read here. I can learn it anytime."

Xigou couldn't help but look at Fang Zhixing's system panel.

[Reading and spelling: Full level requirements: 1. Read a dictionary 10 times (not completed)]

afternoon!

Fang Zhixing took the tattered book he had picked up and went to find Wang Yitong, saying with a smile, "Brother Wang, you can read, right?"

Wang Yitong's face suddenly became full of pride, and he said proudly: "When I was a child, my father taught me to read and write."

Fang Zhixing immediately took out the tattered book and asked, "Look, what book is this?"

“Oh, this is the Enlightenment Dictionary.”

Wang Yi recognized it at a glance and said, "Schoolchildren usually start learning to read and write with this dictionary."

Fang Zhixing asked, "Do you know all the words in this dictionary?"

Wang Yitong laughed and said, "Of course, I was a famous child prodigy in town when I was little."

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed and asked, "Can you teach me?"

Wang Yitong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no! I tell you, studying is harder than practicing martial arts, especially when you are so old, it is even harder to learn. And I am not good at talking, so I can't teach you."

Fang Zhixing had anticipated this, so he took out a handful of Tongbao and said seriously, "Teach me for a month, and I'll give you a thousand coins!"

"One thousand coins, is it true or false?" Wang Yitong was shocked.

Fang Zhixing said very seriously: "I'll pay you first, and you can teach me later."

Wang Yitong took a deep breath and smiled sincerely, "I can tell from the looks of it that Brother Fang is a genius with extraordinary intelligence. He will definitely be able to learn it!"

Next, he opened the dictionary and began to teach Fang Zhixing how to pronounce each word and what each word meant.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fang Zhixing listened carefully, took out a chicken tail feather, dipped it in some wet mud, and marked it in pinyin.

There are as many as 30,000 words recorded in a dictionary.

Wang Yitong taught about three thousand words every day, and it took him twelve days to finish the whole course.

Fang Zhixing also read it.

[1. Read a dictionary 10 times (1/10)]

"Okay, that's enough. I'll learn it by myself from now on." Fang Zhixing took back the torn book.

"What, you learned it by yourself?"

Wang Yitong looked puzzled, "I only taught you once, and you remembered it?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "That's about it. If I come across something I haven't remembered, I'll ask you again."

Wang Yitong's face was full of disbelief.

To be honest, that’s more than 30,000 words. Even if a person studies it wholeheartedly for two or three years, he or she may not be able to learn all of them.

Fang Zhixing closed the door and concentrated on reading, reading over and over again.

Four days passed quickly.

【1. Read a dictionary 10 times (completed)】

[The conditions required for literacy and spelling have been met. Do you want to upgrade? ]

"promote!"

Fang Zhixing made his decision without any hesitation.

In an instant, he felt as if his head had grown bigger and his head hurt like a splitting headache.

A large amount of text penetrated into his mind and was quickly absorbed like a sponge absorbing water.

After a moment, Fang Zhixing slowly opened his eyes, his forehead covered with beads of sweat.

Then he randomly opened a page of the dictionary and scanned it quickly.

All text is visible and can be read without any obstacles.

"finally!"

Fang Zhixing was instantly filled with joy. The problem of illiteracy was finally solved once and for all.
