Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

Most of the thirty or so families in Hongshan Village are focused on hunting.

Even if you don't want to hunt, most of your thoughts are to practice martial arts to facilitate hunting.

At most, some children were idle, writing their own names or learning math.

As for people who want to read and decipher, Zhang Shuyuan has really never met anyone in so many years.

He also knew about the young man in front of him - the deceased son of the Shen family's eldest son.

Apart from being good-looking, there are no other advantages, it’s just mediocre.

Perhaps because of his clumsiness and poor understanding, his hunting skills are really mediocre and he often needs help from his uncle.

Such a person suddenly came over and told him that he wanted to learn how to read and write. Zhang Shuyuan thought he had heard wrongly.

He said in surprise: "Why do you suddenly want to read and write?"

Shen Qing pondered for a while and said sincerely: "The snow will stop soon. I recently hunted some mountain products and plan to sell them in the county. People in the city are very smart. I am worried about being cheated, so I want to learn more about reading." Be more confident."

"My family also said before I was alive that there is no harm in being more literate, and it will always come in handy in the future."

After listening to Shen Qing's explanation, Zhang Shuyuan couldn't help but understand.

In the world, my hometown has been accumulating virtue in Wuwei for hundreds of years. The best thing in the world is to study and practice martial arts.

If you want to make progress and join the upper class, literacy is the foundation, even before practicing martial arts.

It's a pity that the people in this village are too busy making a living and have no time to care about anything else.

Since someone sent food, Zhang Shuyuan immediately agreed: "Well, I have nothing to do recently, so I can come and teach you some."

"Bring the book next to you, open the first page, and let me see how well you recognize it."

Shen Qing's face lit up, he quickly thanked her and walked to the bookshelf.

A book Zhang Shuyuan asked him to take was placed on the bottom floor. It looked a little shabby and had some mold marks on it.

Obviously I haven't looked at it for a long time.

Shen Qing opened the book and read it word for word according to Zhang Shuyuan's request.

The characters he recognized were really limited, and he could hardly read them.

"Begin...open...the Qi...Heaven..."

"Okay." Zhang Shuyuan continued: "Write your name, and then write the word 'Yong' for me to see."

Hearing this, Shen Qing took a branch and wrote and drew on the ground.

Although the characters in this world are somewhat similar to those in his previous life, they are still a little different. In addition, the original person knew nothing about these things, so Shen Qing's characters were written crookedly, like a turtle crawling.

Zhang Shuyuan glanced at him and frowned when he saw the way he was reading and writing, and he had a rough idea of ​​Shen Qing's level of literacy.

He said to Shen Qing: "I have a thousand-character text here. You can learn from me, sixteen characters a day. You can learn it whenever you want, but..."

At this point, Zhang Shuyuan paused and said, "If you want to learn more later, you will have to make up for it."

Shen Qing, a man of two generations, immediately understood what Zhang Shuyuan meant.

They are in dire straits and need some help.

Fortunately, his hunting skills are improving day by day, and he can still afford this.

He didn't hesitate and agreed on the spot.

Seeing that Shen Qing was so obedient and did not bargain, Zhang Shuyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, took out a book and put it on the table.

He asked Shen Qing to sit in his seat, while he stood up, pointed to the first character and taught: "This is the character "天", written in four strokes, which refers to space, opposite to the earth."

"This is the word "地"..."

Zhang Shuyuan was very patient and taught him word by word.

Shen Qing had the foundation of his previous life, he was also able to sit still, he learned quickly, and he listened to everything Zhang Shuyuan taught.

About an hour later, Shen Qing was moved.

In the field of vision, a drop of ink dripped into the water from a high place and spread out.

Lines of ink words appeared before his eyes.

[Skill: Reading and Hyphenation (Introductory)]

[Progress: 1/100 points]

[Status: Cannot be upgraded]

[Remarks: Learning this skill can help you master reading and writing skills. Continuous practice can help you break through the realm, and there is a certain probability of awakening the talent of "memorizing through sight". 】

Ever remembered?

Shen Qing was shocked and quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, reading and writing can be mastered as a skill, and talents can be awakened.

He suddenly felt that coming here today was very profitable!

Shen Qing hid the smile on his face and became more upright.

Zhang Shuyuan, who was teaching by the side, couldn't help but slightly raise his opinion of him in his heart.

After practicing for almost half an hour, Shen Qing saw that the time was almost up, so he made a speech.

Before leaving, he borrowed the Thousand-Character Essay on the pretext of studying, intending to take it back to continue his studies, but he was slow to make progress.

It was just an ordinary book. Zhang Shuyuan did not stop him. He just asked him to remember to return the book in time and take time to study for an hour during the day tomorrow.

Shen Qing responded repeatedly.

…

As evening approached, it took a whole day. Even though the Chen family went out in full force and searched all around the back mountain, they still couldn't find the two brothers Chen Tai and Chen An.

No matter how lucky Chen Yuan was now, he knew that his two younger brothers would most likely have died in the mountains.

They have been hunting since childhood, and the possibility of getting lost in the mountains is slim.

Only if they die inside can so many of them not be found.

In the lobby of the Chen family, the Chen family gathered together, whispering to each other, and it seemed a bit noisy.

Chen Yuan looked at a middle-aged man and said, "You guys have worked hard today. When my father comes back another day, I will come to thank you one by one."

"Hey, we're all family, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Maybe the two of them discovered the mountain treasure and are still deep in the mountain. Don't think too much about it."

"..."

Many members of the Chen family comforted each other, while Chen Yuan responded with a tired expression.

After seeing off most of the Song family, Chen Yuan called to Chen Laowu, who was at the end, and said, "Laowu, wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

As soon as Chen Laowu stepped forward, he paused, turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yuan raised his chin and motioned to close the door.

Chen Laowu looked curious, but he still did as he was told.

After closing the door, Chen Yuan stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Today, everyone went door to door asking who went up the mountain at the same time as Ertai and Xiaoan?"

Chen Laowu recalled carefully: "Yesterday, there were more than 30 households in the village, and basically every household had someone going up the mountain."

"If you think about it again, it will be around the same time."

Chen Laowu frowned and thought for a while and said: "There are three of us from the Chen family, two from the Tian family, two from the Zhang family, and three from the Shen family. They all go up the mountain near noon, so the time is quite close."

"Tian family, Shen family..." Chen Yuan murmured to himself.

"Do you think someone is doing something in the mountains?"

"My two unsatisfactory brothers are not very good at martial arts, but they are indeed good hunters and will never be lost in the mountains. Although our Shicheng Mountain occupies a large area, it is very sincere and there are no evil spirits in it. People from the government office have already searched it.”

Chen Yuan said noncommittally: "After thinking about it, only people in the mountains have their brains twisted. My two brothers have always been loyal and honest, and I am afraid they will suffer a loss in the mountains. It would be too difficult to find two people dead in the vast mountains. It’s difficult.”

Chen Laowu sighed and said, "Who could be so brave?"

Chen Yuan thought deeply and said, "We rarely deal with the Zhang family, and the Shen family doesn't have the courage to do so, so the only one left is the Tian family!"
