At the beginning, Char Lei Ming had a headache for a long time for the old guy's evaluation.
With his not very good level of education, he only knows that "creative" seems to be a compliment, but "dead and blind" seems to be a not very good word.
The old guy is very irresponsible for Char Leiming's cultural education, and the simplicity can only make Char Leiming barely recognize 80% of the words when he is only looking through some yellowed broken books left by the old guy, and as for those who can understand, no more than half.
But even so, the old guy forbade Char Thundering to look through his collection, so Char Thundering did not suffer less from the old guy's stick.
Only when the old guy drank too much and fell asleep, he secretly turned it out and looked at it for a while.
Most of the things in the book are words like "cavalry", "turning", "detouring", "outflanking", or what kind of battle plan, how much baggage is transported, how to deploy troops on the terrain, river beach battles, plain battles, canyon ambushes, and so on At first, Char thought these were war stories, just like the legendary battle stories told by the down-and-out bards in town.
But later, he saw something different.
At the very least, the contents of the old guy's book collection are definitely not as wonderful as the stories told by the bards, and they can even be said to be very boring.
Char Leiming once had the courage to ask the old guy twice, but the first time, the old guy directly knocked his head swollen with a stick for three days.
The second time, the old guy was drunk, but instead of knocking him on the head, he kicked him with a kick, glared at him and scolded a few words, "When Lao Tzu led the troops, if he met a disobedient boy like you, he would have been cut a long time ago" Well, according to this old guy who is full of stupid words, he not only "was" a famous swordsman on the mainland, but even "once" was a general with troops.
Is that really the case?
At least, Char Lei Ming knew that a general would never be able to afford to drink.
And the old fellow, even drinking can only drink the cheapest rye wine, which is not only spicy, but also has a sour taste.
Moreover, this little wine money is still deducted from between the teeth.
"If he is a general, then Lao Tzu will be the emperor."
This is Char's conclusion to thundering.
However, about the evaluation of his axe skills, whether the old guy praises himself or scolds himself Thankfully, he doesn't have to have any more headaches.
Because one day after saying this, the old fellow died.
In the words of the old guy himself, he died very "creatively".
When Char Lei Ming went to chop wood and came back, he saw the old guy lying on the ground, no longer breathing.
He died on the road and climbed out of bed to the cabinet where the bottles were kept.
Unfortunately, he was too old and weak, and he died halfway through the climb, and when he was dying, his hand was still stretched out in the direction of the wine cabinet.
From this point of view, the old guy is a person with a lot of personality, and even the way he dies is a mess of personality.
Because, unbeknownst to the old fellow, the bottles on the cabinet were already empty, and there was not even a drop of wine there.
Char thundered and buried the old guy.
They were buried in their house, which was so shabby that it leaked on all sides, that they found a hollow in the back of the hillside, dug a pit, and filled it with some earth and stones.
But when the monument was erected, Char Leiming encountered a trouble, and the absurd thing was that for so many years, he didn't even know the old guy's name.
Before the age of eight, he called him "Daddy", after the age of eight, he called him "old fellow", and the people in the town called him "old drunk" and "old bastard" and so on.
After sitting in front of the grave for a night, Char Lei Ming sighed, chopped a piece of wood, and carved a line of words on it: "The old fellow is buried here, may his soul rest in peace."
He went to the town, and sold the broken axe, the most valuable thing in the house, for three copper plates, and exchanged them for a bottle of wine.
Three copper plates and one bottle of wine is undoubtedly the most "high-end" wine that Char Leiming has bought over the years.
But he poured the bottle on the old man's grave, and watched it run into the dirt, but he didn't drink it himself.
When it was dawn, the frozen Char finally stood up, and he stood in front of the grave, looking at the wooden sign, and there was something inexplicable in his eyes.
"Well, old fellow, you're gone.
Now I'm the only one left. ” The first problem to be solved is to feed the stomach.
Although he can be considered a professional hunter.
No, it is no exaggeration to say that he can be considered the best hunter within a radius of several hundred miles in the vicinity.
When he was thirteen years old, he went up the mountain alone to chop wood, and with the broken axe in his hand, he hacked to death a hungry bloodthirsty wolf, a low-class magical beast that lived in the wildfire field, its fur could even become harder than a turtle's shell when attacking, its teeth could bite off a hunter's spear, and it was agile.
But that time, Char Thundering only used an axe to cut off the wolf's head.
Lightly with an axe.
In fact, at that time, Char Leiming, who was only thirteen years old, was already so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, and when the wolf pounced on him, he was almost unconscious, but instinctively chopped the axe in his hand according to the posture that he had practiced thousands of times on weekdays.
Then he felt a hot stream of blood splash on his face, and when he opened his eyes, there was a grinning wolf's head on the ground in front of him, broken from the position of his neck, and the wolf's body was behind his body.
Faced with this scene, it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and then he was excited.
It turns out that I am already so good But after carrying the wolf corpse back, when he excitedly told the old guy about it, the old guy was still very unhappy.
There are two reasons why he is unhappy, the first is: "You have practiced for so long, if you can't even kill a little wolf, you can just find a piece of tofu and kill it." ” And the second sentence is the real reason why the old guy is angry: "You idiot, do you know it, if you cut off the wolf's head, the wolf's fur will be worthless, and this wolf skin can be exchanged for two silver coins, enough for us to drink for three months, and now it can only be bought for less than one-tenth of the price at most."

The old guy was right.
That time, when Char Leiming carried the wolf to the town, many people were very interested in asking for the price, but when they saw the broken wolf skin, no one cared.
As a result, the wolf skin was not sold until the end, and Char Leiming simply made a leather jacket for himself, and the wolf meat, he and the old guy ate it for several days.
Uh, can't think about wolf meat anymore.
Although the flesh of the bloodthirsty wolf was difficult to eat and had a sour smell, it was still an irresistible torture for Char Leiming, who was now hungry for a day and a night, and his whole body was still stiff.
However, Char Thundering still decided not to go hunting in the mountains.
He didn't want to be a hunter.
Young people always have a lot of fantasies, and he wants to go out and break through.
At least in his opinion, it is better to get a job as a helper in the town than to nest in the mountains and spend a lifetime like an old fellow.
Go to town and get a job, even if it's a handyman in a car dealership.
Perhaps, with my strength, I can be favored by that mercenary group and be a low-level servant.
Despite the grumbling of hunger and the cold hands and feet, Char Thundering still thought with pride.
Without his usual portable weapon, the axe, Char Leiming took out the black fire fork in the hearth, inserted it in his belt, and walked down the mountain with the hope in his heart, wearing the wolfskin robe that had been torn through several holes, and the straw sandals whose soles were almost worn out.
This was Char's first step into the outside world According to the legends of the bards, it should be called "the wheels of history begin to turn".
However, when our protagonist walks down the mountain, not only does he not have any bullshit "wheels", but even his shoes are worn out, and at the same time, he is dizzy with hunger
