Traveling through ancient times to survive

The martial spirit in the valley also spread to the women. Aunt Wang found a few like-minded women and came to the village chief for help.

"Village leader, you can't forget us women. We are all brothers and sisters. We also want to make progress!"

"That's right. We are not stingy. We will pay as much as the young men pay if they follow your Qing Ya to learn martial arts."

"Also, the girls at home, if you practice your skills better, you won't be afraid of being bullied by your in-laws when you get married."

The women spoke at once, their main demand being that they should not be left out.

Zhao Chengchuan watched Qing Ya leading the entire village to practice martial arts, and the valley was filled with an atmosphere of progress. He was extremely satisfied, so how could he refuse?

"Okay, okay, why not learn martial arts? But I have a suggestion for you. My wife also learned a few moves from the girl during the snowstorm last year. Why don't you practice with her? You don't have to pay any tuition."

The women looked at each other, unable to make up their minds. Learning from the wife of the village head would definitely not be as effective as learning from Qing Ya. But if they followed the wife of the village head, even if they could not really avoid paying the tuition, it would definitely be much cheaper than Qing Ya.

For families with more people, the tuition fees for both the boys and the men in the family total more than a thousand kilograms of meat. For women who have to budget carefully every day, the temptation to save so much tuition fees all at once is hard to overcome.

In the end, it was Aunt Wang who spoke up to ask the reason.

"Village Chief, why do you suggest this? Is Qingya unwilling to teach?"

Zhao Chengchuan shook her head to deny it. Her daughter was very sensible and definitely didn't have such thoughts.

"Of course not. Qing Ya doesn't even know yet. It's mainly because the two of you have different goals in practicing martial arts. The young men practice martial arts so that they can go hunting in the mountains and protect their families in the future when they encounter danger. But you are different. You practice martial arts mainly to strengthen your body so that you can have the strength to escape when you encounter danger and not hold the masters back. Qing Ya is practicing martial arts with all her strength, which is not suitable for you. It's just right for you to follow my wife."

The women discussed for a while and agreed with the village chief's suggestion. In the end, Aunt Wang, the initiator, stood up and said firmly: "Okay, we will listen to the village chief, but we can't let Xiaomei suffer a loss. Let's give each of us 50 kilograms of meat."

Without waiting for the village chief to refuse, the women left in a hurry. When the family was having dinner, Zhao Chengchuan said excitedly: "Mei Niang, I found a job for you to make money."

Wang Mei smiled widely when she heard this and pushed the man next to her: "What kind of work is it? Tell me!"

"Become a teacher, teach the women and girls in the village martial arts, each of them pays 50 kilograms of meat as tuition."

The smile on Wang Mei’s face froze and she put her hands down.

"You found this with Qingya, right? It sounds nice, and you said you found it for me, but I don't know how to do it, so what can I do?"

Zhao Qing waved his hand: "No, the aunts can't keep up with my learning progress, so it's not suitable for them to study with us."

"Yes, this place is really not suitable for us."

Zhao Deyan and Zhao Dezhang nodded frantically. They had a lot of say. The intensity of the training this time was completely different from the one in the village. The strong guys were like dead dogs after the training. The eldest sister was completely ruthless this time. They couldn't stand steadily every day. They had to rest for a long time before they could support each other and move back tremblingly step by step.

Zhao Chengchuan swallowed the food in his mouth and replied: "I found it for you. Didn't you learn from Qing Ya last year? Just take them to practice what you know. You don't need to reach the training level of Qing Ya and Brother Li. You just need to let the girls and women in the valley train their bodies better, so that they can resist a little danger and run fast."

"Can I really do it?" Wang Mei hesitated, with some intention in her heart. The family rarely came back except for eating. The house was empty, and she was alone. She was so bored that she counted the weeds outside the house to pass the time.

She did nothing but cook the whole day. She spent all her time waiting for them to come back for dinner. The time was very unbearable.

She felt like something was not right with her recently. She couldn't muster the energy to do anything and often felt depressed for no apparent reason.

Wouldn't it be good if I kept myself busy?

Wang Mei didn't know that her condition was a bit depressive in modern times. Her family was very busy every day and no one noticed that she was in a bad mood.

Zhao Chengchuan patted Wang Mei on the shoulder and encouraged her: "Why not? It's not difficult. Just teach them the way you practiced. Show your village head's wife's aura!"

Seeing that Wang Mei was getting more and more interested, Zhao Deyan stepped up to encourage her: "Yes, mother, martial arts training is the top priority in our village. Dad is the village chief now, you have to help him and lead the women in the village well."

"Mom, believe in yourself!" Zhao Dezhang clenched his fist and cheered!

Wang Mei turned her gaze to Zhao Qing, who nodded and said affirmatively: "Mom, you can do it."

"Okay, I'll try it."

With the support of the whole family, especially the affirmation from her most capable daughter, Wang Mei's blood boiled, her timidity subsided, and she gained some confidence.

The whole village took action, from the elderly in their sixties to the children, all began to practice martial arts. There was an endless stream of people running around the valley, and the elderly were not to be outdone, practicing the health-preserving exercises taught by Li Wu.

As time goes by, the group of young people led by Zhao Qing has changed the most. Their eyes are bright, their muscles are tight, and they look energetic.

Zhao Qing clapped his hands: "Okay, we have practiced for quite some time, it's time to test everyone's training results!"

Everyone was excited but also very disciplined. Zhao Dewen, as a representative, asked questions.

"Boss, how do we test it?"

Zhao Qing's expression was serious. "Of course, the real test will be in the hands. The competition will start tomorrow. The top six will be the captains of the team. The captains will recruit players to form their own teams. Not counting me, Zhao Lan, and Li Heng, there are 38 of you in total, which can be divided into six teams. The top four teams will have six people each, and the bottom two teams will have seven people each."

Before anyone else had a chance to speak, Zhao Lan was the first to disagree.

"Boss, why don't you include me? I think I'm no worse than others!"

Li Heng, who was also treated differently, still had a gentle smile on his face. He didn't say anything, but everyone could see that he was unhappy.

Zhao Qing was not angry. He continued what he had not finished speaking with a calm tone.

"After a team is formed, the team members will not change unless something unexpected happens. From now on, the team will train together as a whole, and the members will get along and cooperate with each other. Teams will play against each other once a month and re-rank."

Everyone is excited and ready to go, vowing to make a big splash tomorrow and win the captaincy.
