Chapter 11 After so many years

Immediately, a faint heat flow emerged in the body.

With a "click", the wooden bow in his hand broke directly.

Just then, a figure limped over.

"Hmph, young people don't know how high the sky is, if this archery is so easy to learn, there wouldn't be only a few people in the village who can do it now!"

Looking at the broken bow on the ground, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Without my personal teaching, plus without a suitable bow and arrow to practice, it would take a long time to get started with archery!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like "please ask me for help".

Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng ignored him.

"How foolish! If you are willing to support me, I will teach you archery. In a few years, you will be stronger. If you go to the Black Mountain Mansion, you will have better luck and will definitely find a way to make a living! Why do you want to die now?"

Lu Changsheng remembered that the man in front of him had been in the Black Mountain Mansion.

"Old man, if I don't go, how can I support you?"

Zhang Cun's expression froze slightly.

It's still good at the moment, and there is some food stored at home, but if it's still the same in a month or two, I'm afraid Lu Changsheng won't even be able to support himself.

"Haha, a bunch of idiots! Idiots! How can it be so easy to make a living in the Black Mountain Mansion? You kids don't understand, and you really think that you can make a living with this little body?"

Zhang Cun said no more and left with a sneer.

"Since you gave me a few meals of dried fish, I will remind you that although the Black Mountain Mansion is rich, it also has strict hierarchy! It's hard to make money and easy to get sick. When you go there, you will just wait for death!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

Walking to a place where Lu Changsheng couldn't see him, he slowed down his pace and waited for a long time. Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn't catch up, he was so angry that he cursed.

"Idiot! A bunch of idiots!" After saying that, he hummed and said, "Those parents have hearts made of iron. Letting a child of this age go to the Black Mountain Mansion is just to save one person's food! How can it be really for the future?"

"Study? Haha——"

When he was in the Black Mountain Mansion, he saw many scholars shivering on the street at night.

During the day, they were frozen hard, and even wild dogs couldn't eat them.

"Archery: (style)"

"Entry level: 0.2 years (already entered)"

"Minor success level: 1 year"

"Great success level: 3 years"

Let's look at the root bone talent——

"Name: Lu Changsheng"

"Age: 10/55"

"Root bone: 2/10 [Genius (replaceable·Reading and writing)]"

Another replacement for the 'slacking off' item.

"Root bone: 2/10 [Genius (replaceable·Slacking off)]"

"Reading and writing is still at the genius level, but slacking off has been raised to a higher level!"

"So, my root bone progress bar is not actually for other skills! It's a fixed skill!"

And perhaps, this industry is where he breaks the shackles of the limit!

"Everything, maybe there will be an answer when we get to Heishan Mansion!"

Lu Changsheng had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.

······

In the blink of an eye, time passed quickly.

The weather began to get a little cold.

Lu Changsheng sat in front of the door holding Xiao Heitu.

"With a bad constitution, he doesn't have much ability to resist the cold!"

Looking at the brazier not far away, he wanted to light a fire to keep warm, but he held back.

After autumn, it is not so easy to find firewood in the mountains. Now it is not the coldest time. Using firewood is obviously a waste for this family.

"Try this clothes!"

Lu's mother came over and put on a new cotton jacket for him.

After putting it on, the chill was mostly gone.

"Thank you, mother!"

A smile appeared on Mother Lu's face, but there was a trace of heartache in her eyes.

She sat next to Lu Changsheng and chattered.

"Heishan Mansion is far away, and there is no one who can help you. If you can't stand it, go home!"

She was silent for a long time.

Last night, she had a rare quarrel with Father Lu.

The quarrel was so fierce that even the little Heitu, who always slept very soundly, was woken up.

Lu Changsheng, who also woke up, heard Mother Lu's roar.

"I'm going to Heishan Mansion!"

That word made Lu Changsheng unable to sleep in the second half of the night.

Mother Lu was like a vassal of Father Lu at home. She would fight wherever Father Lu pointed her. This time, she did not back down.

However, both Lu Changsheng and his father knew that if Lu Changsheng went to Heishan Mansion, he might still survive, but if his mother went there, he might never see her again in this life.

"Don't worry, mother, I'm very smart!"

Lu Changsheng smiled.

Little Heitu raised his head and held his hand tightly, with tears in his eyes.

Not long after, Lu's father came over and saw Lu's mother, and sat down beside him without saying a word.

Lu's mother knew that the head of the family didn't want her to hear what was going to happen next, so she wiped her tears and walked out.

"Heishan Mansion is a long way away, and it may not be peaceful on the way. Be careful when you get to Heishan Mansion!"

He pondered for a moment and continued, "It's better to wait until the end of the year before going out. However, opportunities are rare. If you can recognize some words from the teacher, it will be easier to find a job when the time comes!"

Lu Changsheng agreed one by one.

Father Lu entered the house.

Lu Changsheng looked up and saw his elder brother Lu Haozi chasing him into his father's house.

After a while, a quarrel was heard inside.

Lu Haozi wanted to go to Heishan Mansion for Lu Changsheng.

Unfortunately, he is now the main labor force in the family. The drought is still in its early stages, and some dry land can still grow some drought-resistant food.

If he leaves, the family will lose a laborer, and the situation will still be very bad.

The most important point is that Father Lu thinks that Lu Changsheng is obviously more suitable to go to Heishan Mansion than old Lu Haozi.

Especially Lu Changsheng's performance during this period!

It was a rare time that Lu Changsheng did not practice archery for the full time, but accompanied his family.

"Brother, will you come back to see Heitu?" Little Heitu curled up in his arms and asked in a low voice.

"Of course I will come back! It won't be long before I make money and come back. I'll buy you lots of delicious food!"

Lu Changsheng said softly.

"Okay, okay! But don't work too hard, take care of yourself!"

Lu Changsheng's heart tightened suddenly, and he couldn't help but hold Xiao Heitu's hand a little harder.

"Don't worry, this trip will definitely succeed!"

He said softly, his tone was extremely firm.

In his previous life, his parents died early and he was unable to show his filial piety. Now he has come through and given him a beautiful family. What else can he complain about?

······

Early the next morning, when Lu Changsheng just got up, he saw a figure standing in front of the yard like a root.

Father Lu looked at him lightly with dark circles under his eyes.

When Lu Changsheng took his luggage and went out, he saw his mother, Lu Haozi and Xiao Heitu all running out.

However, they were blocked by Lu's father in the yard.

The future is unpredictable. If it works, I will be happy. If it doesn't, this farewell will only add to the sadness.

Lu Changsheng stood outside the yard with his bag on his back, looked silently, and then left without looking back.
