Here, is northeast the East River District city. 这里,是东河县的城东北。 In city one of the civilians main inhabited areas, 城内平民的主要居住地之一, Central courtyard, is in the county city the even democracy most common house style, very economical land, the key is each central courtyard only has 1-2 accesses, facilitates resists the monster beast attack at crucial moments, but also convenient county administration statistics number. 四合院子,是县城内平民主最常见的房屋样式,很节省用地,关键是每个四合院子只有1-2出入口,方便在关键时刻抵御妖兽进攻,还方便县衙统计户数。 „little Hong came back.” “小洪回来了。” A sturdy man with a smile and Yun Hong greeted, this man carried enough four big bunch of firewoods, quite strenuous walked toward the lane from the one side. 一粗壮汉子笑着和云洪打招呼,这汉子扛着足足四大捆木柴,颇为费力的从一旁朝着巷子里走。 Yun Hong smiles: „Brother Liu came back, come, I help you.” 云洪一笑:“刘哥回来了,来,我帮你。” Saying, Yun Hong puts out a hand to grasp, grasps two bunches of firewoods from the Brother Liu shoulder, one one bunch, this bunch of enough over a hundred jin (0.5 kg), may be as good as Vein Congelation Martial Artist Yun Hong to the physical quality, calculates that was very relaxed. 说着,云洪伸手一抓,从刘哥肩上抓起两捆木柴来,一手一捆,这一捆足足上百斤,可对身体素质已不亚于凝脉武者的云洪来说,算很轻松了。 Brother Liu has not declined, to say with a smile: „little Hong, your strength is truly big.” 刘哥没拒绝,笑道:“小洪,你这力气确实大。” „little Hong's strength nature is bigger much than us, our dozens yards, little Hong can test into Martial Institute, later is definitely fiercer than his elder brother.” Another guy walked from behind. “小洪的力气自然比我们大得多,我们这一带几十个大院,就小洪能考上武院,以后肯定比他哥还要厉害。”又一大汉从后面走了上来。 „Brother Yang.” Yun Hong said with a smile. “杨哥。”云洪笑道。 Brother Yang is smiling the nod is the response, shouts: „old Liu, walks a bit faster, but must pass by the road.” 杨哥笑着点头算是回应,喊道:“老刘,快点走,还要过路。” „Good.” Although Brother Liu is far less than Yun Hong to be fierce, in fact also has the body tempering four layers strength, shouldering 200-300 jin (0.5 kg) is very relaxed, stride stand forth. “好嘞。”刘哥虽远不如云洪厉害,实际上也有着淬体四重的实力,扛个200-300斤很轻松,大步向前走去。 Brother Liu's body strength, is the middle and upper level in the average adult. 刘哥的身体力量,在普通成人里属中上等。 The youngster are physically weak, can when 12 or 13-year-old then steps into body tempering four layers all be the one in a hundred cream of the crop, therefore wants to enter Martial Institute to be extremely difficult, in fact graduation half disciples will stay in body tempering four layers, can be few of body tempering six layers. 少年体弱,能在十二三岁便踏入淬体四重的无一不是百里挑一,故想进入武院极难,实际上毕业时半数弟子都还是会停留在淬体四重,能达到淬体六重的屈指可数。 This age, they also in growth stage. 这个年龄,他们都还在成长阶段。 From several years at age 16, the physical quality will be improved swiftly and violently, quite mediocre disciple when Martial Institute, after leaving Martial Institute, with the body natural growth, can achieve body tempering five layers and even six layers finally, even the ray of hope becomes Martial Artist. 从16岁之后的数年,身体素质将会迅猛提升,许多在武院时较为平庸的弟子,在离开武院后,随着身体自然成长,最终也能达到淬体五重乃至六重,甚至有一线希望成为武者。 But looks like Brother Liu these average people, when the young talent unsatisfactory is only body tempering one layer and two layers, so long as exercises diligently, when grows up slowly, can achieve body tempering three layers and four layers naturally. 而像刘哥这些普通人,年幼时天赋不佳只是淬体一重、二重,但只要努力锻炼,待慢慢长大,自然而然都能达到淬体三重、四重。 body tempering three layers and four layers, are the universal strengths of adult. 淬体三重、四重,是成年人的普遍实力。 This is Yun Hong never suspected oneself can become the Martial Artist reason, he has not filled 16 then to reach the Altering Muscle peak now, after being grown, achieves body tempering eight layers is not a difficult matter. 这便是云洪从未怀疑自己能成武者的原因,他如今未满十六便达易筋巅峰,成年后达到淬体八重并非难事。 As for higher body tempering nine layers ten heavy, wants to achieve, is not the difficult two characters can describe. 至于更高的淬体九重十重,想要达到,已不是艰难二字能形容的。 ..... ..... All the way, occasionally some person and Yun Hong greeted. 一路上,偶尔有人和云洪打招呼。 Said that is central courtyard, in fact, the entire yard was occupied by more than ten families, the population about hundred. 说是四合院子,实际上,整个大院足足住了十多户人家,人数近百。 Yun Hong follows Brother Liu to arrive under the obstructing canopy of yard. 云洪跟随刘哥来到大院的遮雨棚下。 „Brother Liu.” Yun Hong then puts down the firewood to ask: „Hasn't my big brother come back?” “刘哥。”云洪便放下木柴边问道:“我大哥还没回来吗？” „Your elder brother is bumping into a restaurant to be in charge in the wharf today, not being able to do well to make single big, discussed with that manager, was late.” Brother Liu said with a smile: „He makes me tell you and your sister-in-law, first eats, do not wait for him.” “你哥今天在在码头碰到一个酒楼管事,搞不好能弄单大的,和那管事谈去了,晚点回来。”刘哥笑道:“他让我告诉你和你嫂子,先吃,别等他。” „Good.” Yun Hong is listening. “好。”云洪听着。 „, Right, remembered comes out in the evening, today is the end of the month 30, must do obeisance Immortal Xu.” Brother Liu walks while shouts. “哦,对了,记得晚上出来,今天是月末三十,要拜许仙人的。”刘哥边走边喊道。 Yun Hong should say with a smile: „Ok.” 云洪笑着应道:“行。” Afterward. 随后。 Yun Hong moves toward itself. 云洪走向自家。 „~” gate has not locked, shoves open. “哐啷~”门没锁,推开。 „Brother-in-law comes back.” “小叔回来哦。” „Mother, is an uncle.” “娘,是叔叔。” Dew of two small heads from the doorframe of kitchen come out, sees is Yun Hong, immediately cheers, is shouting toward the kitchen, one is to walk out kitchen, runs over toward Yun Hong. 两个小脑袋从灶屋的门框上露出来,看到是云洪,立刻欢呼起来,一个朝灶屋内大喊着,一个则是跨过灶屋门槛,朝着云洪跑过来。 „Brother-in-law.” “小叔。” Yun Hong sees that opened wide both hands to grasp ran up to front small meat group, said with a smile: „Ha, Little Hao, the brother-in-law came back to be happy.” 云洪见状,不由敞开双手抱住了跑到面前的小肉团,笑道:“哈,小浩,小叔回来了高不高兴。” „Hee hee, happy.” The little fellows are smiling. “嘻嘻,高兴。”小家伙笑着。 At this time another little fellow also ran, 这时另一个小家伙也跑了出来, Shouting: „Uncle, I must hug.” „Good, prepares, flies.” 喊道:“叔叔,我也要抱。”“好,都准备好,飞喏。” Yun Hong is holding nephew Yun Hao, is holding niece Yun Meng single-handedly, strides walks toward the kitchen, shouts: „Sister-in-law, I came back.” 云洪一手抱着侄儿云浩,一手抱着侄女云梦,跨步向灶屋走去,同时喊道:“嫂子,我回来了。” The house, is divided into the outhouse and in the room and kitchen, the outhouse is piles up some junks daily things wait/etc, is suspending the Yun Hong beds and books wait/etc. 房屋,分为外屋和内屋以及灶屋,外屋是堆放一些杂物日常用品等等,还有就是摆着云洪的床和书籍等等。 In the room, is Elder Brother sister-in-law they live, the kitchen, is the place that lights a fire to prepare food. 内屋,是哥哥嫂子他们住的,灶屋,是烧火做饭的地方。 Mentioned makes a round trip mixed. 说起来复杂。 But in fact, the entire house gross area adds, might as well Yun Hong is big in the Martial Institute cultivation room, the family of six lives is actually very here crowded. 但实际上,整个房屋全部面积加起来,还不如云洪在武院的修炼室大,一家六口人住在这里实际很拥挤。 In the kitchen, three big boiler bases on the adobe bed, the flavor that the air float the rice is steaming, making soup young woman hears sound raised the head, seeing is Yun Hong, said with a smile: „A'Hong, the food was quick, again wait a minute.” 灶屋里,三个大锅架在土炕上,空气悬浮着米饭蒸熟的味道,正在煲着汤的年轻女子闻声抬头,见是云洪,笑道:“阿洪,饭快好了,再等一会。” The young woman, is Yun Hong sister-in-law Duan Qing. 年轻女子,是云洪的嫂子段清。 „It is not anxious.” Yun Hong said with a smile, the vision fell, in the sister-in-law has on the messy and dirty hair, in heart cannot help but acid .... He remembers, in the past when sister-in-law just married, on beautiful hair is inserting many accessories, is extremely beautiful. “不急。”云洪笑道,目光则落在嫂子有着脏乱的头发上,心中不由得一酸....他记得,当年嫂子刚嫁过来时,一头秀发上插着许多饰品,也是极美的。 Was became famous in three mound Zhen at that time, in the family/home the threshold was trod by the matchmaker broken. 在当时三丘镇是出了名的,家里门槛都被媒婆踏破了。 Married the big brother for these years, the sister-in-law on anything auspicious day, was busy all day long, but must take care of two young children, could not attend to individual appearance. 只是,嫁给大哥这几年,嫂子没过上什么好日子,终日忙碌,还要照顾两个年幼的孩子,根本顾不上个人打扮。 Suddenly, Yun Hong resounds anything, puts down the nephew niece conveniently, pulls out a bag to place on the top from the pocket: „Sister-in-law, this is this month Martial Institute subsidy.” 忽然,云洪响起什么,顺手放下侄儿侄女,从兜里掏出一个袋子放在灶台上:“嫂子,这是这个月武院补助。” „Un.” Duan Qing first only complied with the sound, is not then right with the bag feeling, opens, with astonishment said: „So many? Then can many buy some spirit meter/rice for you.” “嗯。”段清先只应了声,拿起来袋子便感觉不对劲,打开,惊愕道:“这么多？这下可以多给你买些灵米了。” „Un, I did this month some informed and experienced in Martial Institute, reward.” Yun Hong explained. “嗯,我这个月在武院中做了些历练,多奖励的。”云洪解释。 The Duan Qing smile stops, looks up to Yun Hong, reveals anger saying: „Wasn't A'Hong, and you says? In the family/home has me and your big brother, can support, you now most important is the Martial Dao cultivation, immediately wants Six District Great Competition.” 段清笑容停止,抬头看向云洪,露出一丝怒意道:“阿洪,不是和你说了吗？家里有我和你大哥,撑得住,你现在最重要的就是武道修炼,马上就要六县大比。” Six District Great Competition, is decides whether to be admitted to the County Institute key. 六县大比,是决定能否考入郡院的关键。 In the Duan Qing eye, this is Yun Hong is most important immediately. 在段清眼中,这是云洪当下最重要的。 „Sister-in-law, I know.” Yun Hong sees some sister-in-law vitality/angry, said hastily: „This time informed and experienced duty, is Yang master arranges me to do.” “嫂子,我知道。”云洪见嫂子有些生气,连忙道:“这次的历练任务,是阳师安排我去做的。” Since to East River District, the big brother is busy with the wharf making money, mostly is the sister-in-law educates to look after Yun Hong. 自从到东河县,大哥忙于码头赚钱,大多是嫂子教育照顾云洪。 Therefore. 所以。 To the sister-in-law, Yun Hong is very respectable. 对嫂子,云洪是非常尊敬的。 „Instructor Yang?” Duan Qing is startled, she believes Instructor Yang very much. “阳教官？”段清一怔,她很相信阳教官。 „Ok, A'Hong, I remember that the day after tomorrow is writing test, although is unimportant, but must be able to be qualified.” Duan Qing said: „Spirit meter/rice steaming time be longer than the ordinary meter/rice, waited for me to be called again you.” “行,阿洪,我记得后天是文试,虽然不重要,但也要能合格。”段清道:“灵米蒸的时间要比普通米久些,等好了我叫再你。” „I first fetch water.” Yun Hong said, as if feared the sister-in-law to be angry, made up one: „Quick.” “我先去打水。”云洪说道,似乎又怕嫂子生气,补了一句:“很快的。” Saying, Yun Hong takes up the bucket, moves toward outside the room. 说着,云洪拿起水桶,走向屋外。 Duan Qing as to say anything, has not opened the mouth eventually again. 段清似乎想说什么,终究没再开口。 „Younger brother, walks, sees the uncle to fetch water.” “弟,走,看叔叔打水。” „Hee hee, good.” “嘻嘻,好。” Two small meat groups follow Yun Hong to run. 两个小肉团屁颠跟着云洪跑出去。 The water, must hit very much from the well of distant place, pours into water jar again, the water jar is very big, a well-lined words time can use for several days, before was the big brother cloud hits. 水,要从很远处的水井里打出来,再倒进门外的水缸,水缸很大,装满的话一次可以用几天,以前是大哥云涛打。 Now is Yun Hong hits. 如今都是云洪来打。 „Big brother has the body tempering five layers strength, is willing to endure hardship, is the group leader in wharf, under the hand is managing over a hundred people, the money of actually making is a lot, according to the truth, these years later, in the family/home changes a spacious alone institute to come to be not difficult, but in the family/home lives now, actually compares the common stevedores to be inferior.” Yun Hong raised two buckets of water. “大哥有淬体五重实力,又肯吃苦,是码头上的小头目,手底下管着上百号人,其实赚的钱不少,按道理,这些年下来,家里换个宽敞些的独院来住不算难,可如今家里住的,却比一般的码头工人都不如。”云洪提起两桶水。 „Why?” “为什么？” „Because of me.” “因为我。” „My Martial Dao talent is extremely high, by the talent, takes a broad view at entire Martial Institute only, perhaps has no disciple to be able to catch up with me, I cultivation am also very assiduous.” “我武道天赋极高,单论天赋,放眼整个武院,恐怕没哪个弟子能赶得上我,我修炼也很刻苦。” „But, the Martial Dao cultivation, the light has the talent and assiduousness, is insufficient, must have money.” “但,武道修炼,光有天赋和刻苦,是不够的,要有银子。” „Big money.” “大把的银子。” Yun Hong pours into the water the water jar. 云洪将水倒入水缸中。 „body tempering, the essence is to boil down the body, if the nutrition is insufficient, more ruthless of exercise, the body loses money is bigger, why this occupies most the civilians of population obviously, Martial Artist actually extremely few reasons that walks.” “淬体,本质就是熬炼身体,如果营养不够,锻炼的越狠,身体亏损越大,这才是为什么明明占据大多数人口的平民,走出来的武者却极少的缘故。” „Without money, cultivates with what?” “没钱,拿什么修炼？” Yun Hong fires off the water, pulls two small meat groups to enter the room, suddenly saw nearby piles up the clothes that has not been washing with enough time. 云洪打完水,牵着两个小肉团进屋,忽然看到了旁边堆放着还没来得及洗的衣服。 The clothes are very old. 衣服都很旧。 „Big brother celebrates the new year to stay in the wharf frequently begins construction, a coat put on for 34 years not to hate to trade, the sister-in-law could not buy the new clothes throughout the year, let alone acquired decorated anything, the clothes when the Little Hao clothes, were changed me to be 11 or 12-year-old wears.” “大哥经常过年都呆在码头动工,一件大衣穿了三四年都舍不得换,嫂子一年四季买不了新衣,更别说添置装饰什么的了,小浩的衣服,很多都是改我十一二岁时穿的衣服。” „To save money well, to buy the supplement body nutrition for me daily the pork and chicken duck.” “就是为省下钱,好天天给我买补充身体营养的猪肉、鸡鸭。” „I eat the meat, letting loose make me eat, now a meal can eat ten jin (0.5 kg).” “我吃肉,放开让我吃,如今一餐能吃十斤。” „Eats the meat, is only the simplest diet supplements method.” “吃肉,只是最简单的补充营养手段。” „Some high-ranking rich and powerful people, not only the spirit meter/rice let loose eating, will also purchase the flesh and efficacious medicine of powerful monster beast.” “一些显贵富豪,不但灵米放开了吃,还会去购买强大妖兽的血肉和灵药。” „Enters Raging Fire Hall, the sister-in-law then starts often to buy the spirit meter/rice, price of one jin (0.5 kg) spirit meter/rice can be as good as hundred jin (0.5 kg) ordinary meter/rice, wants to make me progress is quicker, can quenching the body quickly.” “自我进入烈火殿,嫂子便开始经常去买灵米,一斤灵米的价格抵得上百斤普通米,就是想让我进步更快,能更快淬炼身体。” Yun Hong is away from is very far, sees the preparing food sister-in-law. 云洪隔着很远,看到正在做饭的嫂子。 „Father and mother have died.” “父亲和母亲早就死了。” „My family member, only has Elder Brother sister-in-law, ....” Yun Hong looks down two robust little fellows: „Little Hao and Little Meng.” “我的亲人,只剩下哥哥嫂子,还有....”云洪低头看着两个虎头虎脑的小家伙:“小浩和小梦。” „Certainly.” “一定。” „Must be admitted to County Institute, becomes powerful Martial Artist, makes much money ....” “一定要考入郡院,成为一名强大的武者,赚很多很多的银子....” „By that time, the big brother does not need so to be again laborious, the sister-in-law can rest, Little Hao and Little Meng, can have the best education, obtains the best growth environment.” “到那时,大哥不用再这么辛苦,嫂子可以休息,小浩和小梦,更能接受最好的教育,得到最好的成长环境。” Since 12 years old in the East River District wharf, sees with one's own eyes big brother one day laboriously, understands that payout of Elder Brother sister-in-law, Yun Hong has grown up truly 自从十二岁在东河县码头,亲眼看到大哥一天有多辛苦,明白哥哥嫂子的付出,云洪就已经真正长大 In order to cultivation, except for some processing necessary matters, Yun Hong the most time crossed in Martial Institute every day, is not willing to lose time, treasures each food. 为了修炼,除了处理必要的一些事,云洪每天大半的时间都是在武院渡过,不愿耽误一点时间,更珍惜每一点食物。 Eats the meter/rice, a grain does not remain. 吃米,一粒都不剩。 Eats the meat, even the bone must chew as far as possible. 吃肉,连骨头都要尽量嚼碎。 Because, these are the big brother gain laboriously. 因为,这些都是大哥辛辛苦苦赚来的。 Many Martial Institute disciples shut out to cultivate dully, but Yun Hong has not complained of hardship to call tired. 许多武院弟子都嫌弃修炼枯燥无味,可云洪从来没叫过苦叫过累。 Painstakingly? 苦？ The sister-in-law is more bitter. 嫂子更苦。 Tired? 累？ The big brother is more tired. 大哥更累。 Fortunately, he then the talent was since childhood extraordinary, in addition the crazy self-torture, enters the Martial Institute cultivation for several years, then successfully enters Raging Fire Hall, even can be called the apex in the Raging Fire Hall 13 disciples. 幸而,他自幼便天赋非凡,加上疯狂的苦修,进入武院修炼数年,便成功进入烈火殿,甚至在烈火殿十三位弟子中都称得上顶尖。 Now. 如今。 He to County Institute, is only left over the last step. 他离郡院,只剩下最后一步。
