It’s New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye.
Maybe they thought they would be separated after the new year. This year's New Year's Eve, Lu Yuan still spent it with Sun Siwen.
The two drank wine and blessed each other, but this time they didn't get drunk like last year.
It was just a few drinks.
On New Year's Eve, they lit up firecrackers again and celebrated the New Year lively with the residents of the town.
At the end, Sun Siwen took out the fireworks that he had bought from Fucheng, and set off the bright fireworks under the silent night sky.
When the fireworks bloomed, the sounds of children screaming and excited came from outside. They had never seen such a gorgeous scenery in the countryside and couldn't help shouting.
The parents, perhaps also stunned by this scene, only watched the fireworks and did not try to stop them.
So the town, which had calmed down for a while from the blast of firecrackers, became lively again.
After several boxes of fireworks were set off and about ten taels of silver were burned, the night did not calm down immediately. Instead, the noise continued for a while, and then the children were quieted down by the parents yelling and scolding.
At night, it fell into silence.
The next day, Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen had a meal together in the morning and congratulated them on the New Year before returning to their homes.
On the first day of junior high school, everyone was at home. On the second and third day of junior high school, I started visiting relatives and friends.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after visiting a few important people, Sun Siwen found Lu Yuan and began to say goodbye.
There is less than a month left until he joins the academy. The location was far away in another county, so we had to leave early.
Lu Yuan sent Sun Siwen out five miles outside the town before turning back.
Although I said before, I will go visit if I have time in the future.
But he knew in his heart that the so-called future would not be until five or six years at the earliest.
In today's society with such a terrible living environment, if we say goodbye today, I really don't know if we can see each other again.
…
After sending his only friend to his post, Lu Yuan returned to his previous state of being alone again. Without external distractions, all his thoughts were devoted to practicing martial arts.
This is how the schedule is arranged every day after getting up.
In the morning, I practice palm technique for an hour, then have breakfast, and then spend another hour drinking tea and reading.
At noon, I went to the tavern to listen to the news. After I came back, I took a nap for half an hour. When I woke up, I practiced internal energy for two hours and palm skills for another hour. Then I could eat.
In the evening, practice internal strength for another hour, read a book for a while, and then go to bed.
In this way, Lu Yuan's life schedule was carried out strictly according to these schedules.
As for old craft hunting?
After spending the thousand taels of silver earned last year, I still had more than 800 taels left after spending it for a year. At the current pace of spending money, it will be spent in three or four years.
So without the financial crisis, he has little incentive to hunt.
As for the money, it's enough for now.
Although Lu Yuan also wanted to live that kind of luxurious life, that would only happen after he had achieved great success and become famous.
In the current stage of struggle, he can still endure some difficulties.
Isn’t there a saying that says so?
Bitter first and then sweet.
It's bitter right now, but when the bitterness passes, it's time to enjoy the sweetness.
Lu Yuan has this perseverance.
…
Spring passes and autumn comes, winter passes and summer solstice passes.
Lu Yuan is still nestled in Yangmei Town. Except for going to the county every few months to replenish some medicinal materials, he is a homebody on weekdays.
Sometimes, every two or three months, he would receive several letters from Sun Siwen. In addition to greetings, the letters also contained complaints and complaints from the new edict.
There are many mountains in Dongting County, which is known as seven mountains, two rivers and one field.
You can tell from this that this is not a wealthy place.
This is also true.
Only after our Lord Sun Xueyu took office did he know what kind of place he was in Changning County.
There is a saying that goes like this. The more something is lacking, the more emphasis must be placed on it.
Chang Ning Chang Ning, said to be eternal peace.
But in reality, barbarians are everywhere here, and the Tu people are in groups. From time to time, unruly people make trouble, and the folk customs are extremely tough.
One can imagine Sun Siwen's difficulties in serving in such a place.
He went to the county school and counted all the students enrolled. It turned out that in the county school, there were only a hundred people who could read and write. Among them, there are more than ten scholars, but not a single one.
What is this concept?
Take Dayu County as an example.
Dayu County is already considered a remote and poor county among Yuzhang counties. But in the entire county, there are still four to five hundred students. Although there are few candidates, there are only three or two.
Compared to Changning County, I don’t know how much better.
Sun Siwen was in such a place with a poor literary style, and he was the academic edict in charge of academic affairs. One can imagine how difficult it would be to advance the work.
Anyway, looking at the complaints in the letters he sent, you know that this friend of yours is living an extremely hard life.
In response, Lu Yuan could only reply with a few words of ridicule and then comfort him.
Reading letters every few months is just a break in life.
Lu Yuan's daily life is quite dull and boring. Fortunately, he is used to it and there is nothing unacceptable about it.
Two years of such ordinary days passed in the blink of an eye.
…
This day is the beginning of summer again.
The thunderstorm rumbled under the night sky outside the window.
The first muffled thunder since the beginning of summer was particularly thrilling.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and the wind outside found the gap between the doors and windows. The candlelight flickered and flickered, making people worry that it would be extinguished in the next moment.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and his hands on his belly. The internal energy in his body surged, and the mental technique of Liuyun Palm was pushed to the extreme, impacting the stable meridians in front of him like a wave.
Time flows slowly.
In an instant, the thunder outside had stopped, but the heavy rain was still falling, crackling on the roof tiles, making a rattling sound.
Lu Yuan is still practicing his skills.
Time seemed to have no meaning to him.
finally.
Nearing the early hours of the morning, after he had been practicing for two hours, his arms trembled slightly, and the surging internal force in his body no longer had any obstruction, flowing into his dantian from between his arms and converging in one place.
"Finally a breakthrough."
Opening his tightly closed eyes, Lu Yuan felt a lot of internal strength growing in his body, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Divine consciousness sank into his mind, and at this time, the content on the attribute panel had changed.
[Name: Lu Yuan]
[Talent: Immortality]
【Age: 20】
[Realm: The day after tomorrow (third-rate)]
[Martial Arts: Flowing Cloud Palm (Second Level)]
[Skills: Hunting Trap (Perfect) Simple Knife Skills (Perfect) Simple Archery (Perfect) Medical Skills (Xiao Cheng)...]
After three years of hard training, he has finally mastered two meridians, broken through the second level of Liuyun Palm, and reached the third-rate realm in the world.
"This is a great news and worthy of celebration."
Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing and stood up from the bed, feeling very happy.
Who can understand how happy he is that after practicing martial arts for three years and suffering all the hardships, he was finally promoted from an unknown martial artist to a third-rate martial artist?
That sense of accomplishment is really crazy.
But it's late at night now, and it's raining heavily outside. Even if he was restless, he couldn't do anything else.
In the end, I had to take out the home-brewed wine, stir-fry a plate of side dishes, and eat them deliciously.
"Wait for tomorrow...well, wait until the rain stops tomorrow, and then go to Fucheng again. I haven't gone to the Red Sleeve Pavilion to find Miss Xiaoyu in two years. I wonder if she is still there now?"
After eating some side dishes and drinking a glass of wine, Lu Yuan squinted at the wind and rain outside, and his heart had already flown to nowhere.
