Chapter 004 The Best Times

Liang Xiao was angry and embarrassed. "Don't talk big, try it, maybe it's not as long as I've been."

The prisoner said nothing, raised the wooden stick in his hand with one hand and pointed it at Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but shivered, as if the prisoner was holding a wooden stick in his hand, but a murderous crossbow.

The prisoner said lightly: "The courage is commendable, and the strength is too poor, so it is difficult to reach the elegance."

No matter how dull Liang Xiao was, he knew he had met a master. Don’t look at the crossbow in his hand and he only had a wooden stick in his hand, and he was still a cripple. If he really wanted to start, he might even have to die.

The bachelor did not suffer any loss in front of him, Liang Xiao put away the crossbow and bowed his hand. "The boy did not know the world was so high that he showed off his good fortune to the Fang family, and asked Mr. Huan to forgive him."

The prisoner put down the wooden stick and gently patted his injured leg. "You are smarter than that stupid boy."

Liang Xiao was stunned and then understood. Tu Niuer came from the western suburbs with his crossbow, and the prisoner also came from the west. He must have seen this crossbow.

"Han Jun has good eyesight." Liang Xiao praised half-true and half-false.

"Of course, if you want to see the magic of shooting, you need not only arm strength, but also eye strength. A hundred steps away, the face of a person is like a bean. If you don't have extraordinary eyesight, how can you achieve a hundred steps and hit a hundred shots?"

Liang Xiao was skeptical. He always had reservations about the fact that a hundred steps passes through Yang. As this prisoner Huan Jun said, a person's head looks about the same size as a bean outside of a hundred steps, and he couldn't even see clearly. How could he hit it? And he even hit it every time.

"Whether you can achieve a hundred-step penetration of the poplar, one depends on whether you have this talent, and the other depends on whether you have the training method. One of the two is indispensable." The prisoner glanced at Liang Xiao. "Don't think too much. Throughout history, there are only a few people who can achieve a hundred-step penetration of the poplar."

Liang Xiao's eyes rolled: "Can Mr. Huan pass through Yang a hundred steps?"

"No." The prisoner shook his head without thinking. "Although my eyesight is good, I don't have the talent to wear Yang in a hundred steps."

Liang Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked, "What can Mr. Huan do?"

The prisoner stared at him for a while and suddenly laughed. "Do you know how many kinds of archery skills are there?"

Liang Xiao shook his head. He really didn't know. In his previous life, he knew nothing about archery skills, and in this life, he had limited knowledge. He was just good at talent and better than ordinary people. He was too far away from a magical skill like "Hundred Steps to Pier Yang".

"Shooting is one of the six arts, literature is used to observe virtue, and martial arts is used to ensure national stability. In ancient times, there were five shooting: white arrows, sanlian, sanzhu, Xiangji, and Jingyi, with etiquette as the main focus. Now, there are strong people who are guided to fly, traces, and sprints, and sounds, with practical results as the main focus."

Liang Xiao heard it with relish, but the prisoner stopped talking, stared at Liang Xiao and said, "You take your mother's surname, who is your father?"

Liang Xiao blinked his eyes and shook his head. "I don't know, I've never heard my mother say it."

The prisoner pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I'm tired."

Although Liang Xiao was regretful, he also saw that the prisoner refused to say anything, so he had to nodded in a bad mood. His ability was from others. If he wanted to learn, he had to see if he was willing to teach. If he refused, he could not force him. Fortunately, he lived under the same roof and lived together day and night, and he would have a chance in the future.

Liang Xiao had the idea of ​​learning and his attitude turned a big turn. He discussed with his mother, slaughtered a chicken, sold some wine, made a big pot of rice, and invited the prisoner to have a full meal. The prisoner was not polite, and shook his cheeks and ate it hard. He ate a chicken alone, not even leaving some soup for Liang Xiao. A large pot of fragrant rice, he killed most of the pot by himself, leaving only a little bottom for the Liang family's mother and son.

The prisoner was full of wine and went to rest. Liang Xiao looked at the remaining soup, thought for a while, stood up, and picked up the crossbow.

"Mother, you eat first, I'll go out."

"What are you doing?"

"I'll go and shoot a few fish." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "You have prepared firewood and water. I'll come back before dark and cook a pot of fish soup and have a full meal."

Ordinary people in the Han Dynasty ate two meals a day. This meal in the morning was called morning food, which was usually between Mao and Chen, that is, eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the afternoon was called evening food, which was usually between Shen and You, that is, between three or five o'clock in the afternoon.

For ordinary people, after eating evening food, they go to bed and rest as soon as it gets dark, which saves money on lamps and gas, and can eat less. However, one of the Liang family's mother and son is going to work for the night shift to weave brocades, and the other is growing up. They are determined to become a military success in the future and become a marquis and generals. It will be a bit reluctant to eat two meals a day, let alone the prisoner named Huan was eaten by most of them.

It doesn't matter if Liang Mama eats less, but she refuses to starve Liang Xiao. It's still early, so letting Liang Xiao go outside the city to shoot fish now is a good way to supplement food. Wu Chu people's rice and fish soup, and outside Guangling City is a big river with a lot of fish and shrimp. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can eat a good meal without spending a single money. It has always been the best choice for ordinary people to have tooth sacrifices.

Liang Xiao used to do this kind of thing. Before the sky was dark, he shot more than a dozen big fish and broke his stomach by the river.

As he was dealing with the fish in his hand, Liang Xiao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten one thing that time travelers should do: When is this year, what is it tonight?

He sat down, threw the fish aside, and recalled it carefully. Although in Liang Xiao's original memory, there seemed to be no impression of the specific year. He only knew that it was the Han Dynasty, there were a few information that was very valuable.

The first is the Jiangdu Kingdom. According to his later memories, the Jiangdu Kingdom in the Han Dynasty did not last long, and it was passed down for two generations. It seemed that the prince had not ascended the throne yet, and now it should be the first King of Jiangdu, which is Liu Fei, who was later called King Yi.

Liang Xiao made this judgment with another basis: the prisoner said that he was from Wu and was convicted for following the King of Wu, which should refer to King Liu Bi of Wu. In other words, the Wu and Chu Rebellion had just passed, and the Wu and Chu Rebellion was in the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, and later the Wu Kingdom had to wait for the Three Kingdoms.

Thinking of the new emperor ascended the throne two years ago, Liang Xiao was basically sure that it should be the early years of Emperor Wu of Han.

As soon as he came to this conclusion, Liang Xiao suddenly became excited.

The era of Emperor Wu of Han was so good. This was an era of passion. After sixty or seventy years of accumulation, the Han Dynasty was at its peak. Soon, Emperor Wu of Han started a war against the Huns, and famous generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing emerged, creating a new era. Emperor Wu of Han destroyed the Huns who had dominated the grassland for hundreds of years, and showed his might and ambitions. The Han Dynasty wiped out the bad luck of marriage for decades, and the Han Dynasty became the name of a nation.

For Liang Xiao personally, this was undoubtedly the best era. Before the emergence of the imperial examination, civilians had almost no way out, but in the era of Emperor Wu of Han, it was an era when common people were ministers and generals. They were all on the sidelines of the imperial examination. Military achievements were the shortcuts to the people who were promoted to the ground.

In the era of cold weapons, crossbows were the most important weapons, and riding and shooting were almost a symbol of martial arts. I had a pair of ape arms, and I was born to be a material for being an archer, and it was natural to make contributions to the army. No wonder I was so confident that I could be named a marquis and a general.

Wait, if I have such a vision, can't she be a time traveler, right?

Liang Xiaoling shivered. If this is the case, then the world will be too terrifying.
