Traveling through ancient times to survive

On this day, when Zhao Qing was practicing with his family, the village chief happened to come to their door.

The family was about to stop to entertain the village chief, but the village chief stopped them and said, "Don't worry about me, you can train as usual, I will take a look first."

After the training, Zhao Chengchuan said, "Uncle Village Chief, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Qing girl."

Zhao Qing looked over, and without waiting for the question, the village chief took the initiative to explain: "To be honest, I'm worried recently. I'm afraid there will be chaos this year. Once the snow melts and the roads are open, the village will be in danger. I want to pull out all the young and strong people in the village to practice. They don't have to be very strong, but at least they can stand up to the bad guys without shaking their hands and dare to take action. Now that the charcoal is almost burned, everyone has time to practice. I wonder if Qingya is willing to be the master?"

Zhao Chengchuan looked at Zhao Qing with a questioning look, and Zhao Qing nodded: "Grandpa Village Chief, I can agree, but I don't know if the villagers will look down on me because of my young age. Why don't you ask Uncle Li Wu?"

"I really trust Qing girl, so don't refuse. If anyone doesn't know what's good for you, just tell the village chief. I'll support you and will never let you suffer any injustice." The village chief solemnly promised.

"Grandpa Village Chief, actually, training is not limited to men or women, everyone can practice. If something happens, no one will let you go just because you are a woman or a child. How about this, I will train the women and children, and if Uncle Li is willing, the uncles can find Uncle Li? If not, I can take over."

Zhao Qing suggested that women be included in the training team, and the village chief agreed.

"Qing girl is right. As for those of us who are older, as long as we can walk, come over for training. It will be enough if we old guys don't hold you young people back when we are escaping." The village chief opened his mind and wished that everyone could practice.

"And Li Wu, I'm going to go next door and ask him to come over to discuss this."

"Uncle village chief, please sit down. I'll go and invite him." Zhao Chengchuan went straight to the next room without waiting for the village chief to get up. After a while, Li Wu was invited over.

"Village chief, I heard from Brother Chengchuan that he wanted me to train the young men in the village to protect the village. I agree with this. After the snow melts, there will be chaos. It is urgent to strengthen the village's defense. Of course, I am willing to contribute my own strength to train the villagers."

Li Wu agreed without the village chief saying much. After all, he and his master also lived in this village. If the village was safe, his master would be safe too.

"I would like to thank you on behalf of all the villagers." The village chief wanted to bow to express his gratitude.

"No need, Uncle Village Chief. I am also a member of the village. It is normal for me to contribute a little. It is not worthy of such a generous gift from you. You don't treat me as one of your own." Li Wu raised his hand to stop him and made a joke.

"It's my fault. We are all family and there is really no need to thank each other." The village chief admitted his mistake straightforwardly.

"You're right to think so."

"I just discussed it with Qing girl. How about she train the women and children and you train the men?"

Li Wu nodded: "Very good."

Zhao Qing expressed his opinion: "Grandpa Village Chief, let me be frank. I am very strict in my training. I am not willing to teach those who are afraid of hardship, those who take advantage of their seniority and disobey orders, and those who just want to get by."

"Yes, I am the same as Qing girl." Li Wu also expressed his unwillingness to teach those with bad attitudes.

"Of course. Don't worry, I'll go back and give them a tight grip. Can we start tomorrow?"

"Okay, I will train you in the morning, one hour every day, starting at 9:00 a.m."

"Then I will start from the beginning of the Shen time (3pm) and practice for an hour."

"You guys can make your own decisions about training. You don't need to ask me."

In the afternoon, the village chief convened another meeting, presented facts and reasoned with them, used threats and persuasion, and said all kinds of good and bad words, and finally decided that the whole village would train together.

The days in Dashan Village came to a time when most of the villagers practiced martial arts. Some stubborn people thought it was vulgar for women to practice martial arts and were afraid that they would not be able to get married in the future, so they were unwilling to let their women go out for training. The village chief could not force the cows to lower their heads and drink water.

But fortunately, the village chief's kindness was not wasted. At least 60% of the women in the village were willing to go out and train themselves.

The old couple in the old house didn't want to come out and embarrass themselves, and Zhao Decheng was even more vehemently opposed. How could a scholar do such a crude and vulgar thing? It was simply insulting to the gentleman. Wouldn't his classmates laugh at him if they knew about it?

These three were the only ones in the old house who refused to go out. Mrs. Zhao secretly rolled her eyes and pulled her seven-year-old daughter out for training as well.

Mrs. Zhao also unexpectedly joined the training team. It wasn't that she thought it was good for a woman to be strong, but she felt that since there was a precious scholar in her family, she had to practice hard to protect her own son.

It was also at this time that Mrs. Zhao discovered that her youngest daughter was not living at her sister's house, but at her second brother's house.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she wanted to find fault, but Zhao Chengshan stopped her: "Are you trying to get Erya back?"

"Of course, that's my child! Why should I run to his house and work for him?"

"What can Erya do with her small body? Aren't you happy to live and eat at your second brother's house to save us some food?" Zhao Chengshan thought his daughter was extremely smart. At such a young age, she could go to other people's homes to eat and drink for free.

"What about all the housework? Can't she be more understanding and come back home after dinner to help with the housework?" Mrs. Zhao has recently lost her two daughters to share the housework, and she is very tired.

Zhao Chengshan warned: "I think if you go to my second brother's house, he will definitely give Lan Ya back to you."

"I'm not looking for my second brother, I'm looking for Erya." Mrs. Zhao said that she was not that stupid.

Mrs. Zhao went to Zhao Lan and said, "You little bitch, you are too wild. You don't even know how to go home. Even a dog knows how to wag its tail. I will only lose money if I keep a money-losing thing like you!"

"Mom, weren't you the one who didn't open the door for me so late at night?" Zhao Lan looked at the woman who was blaming her in disbelief.

"Bullshit, I am your biological mother, how can I harm you? I am telling you to reflect on yourself. What other child is as unfilial as you and dares to talk back to your own mother? If I don't teach you a lesson, you will ruin the family reputation."

"Then why didn't you come to see me these days? Aren't you afraid that your daughter would freeze to death or starve to death outside?" Zhao Lan didn't believe the brainwashing of the woman in front of her.

"You are so smart, how can you starve to death or freeze to death?" Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly.

"Mom, are you really doing this for my own good?" Zhao Lan changed her mind and pretended to be fooled.

"Of course." Mrs. Zhao lied without blinking.

"Wow, mother, I misunderstood you. I didn't eat enough at all these days at my second uncle's house. I could only get enough water to fill my stomach. I was really starving. If I had known that you didn't want me, why would I still be starving at my second uncle's house? Mother, I'll go back now. You have to put more food. I'm so hungry that I can swallow a cow." Zhao Lan's eyes were filled with tears, and she pulled Mrs. Zhao to go home.
