In a blink of an eye, six more years have passed.

At this time, Zhou Ming was already 12 years old, but his physique and rapid height after intentional training made him look stronger than an 18-year-old adult.

The land of Baron Connor he rented increased from 10 acres six years ago to 20 acres.

Of these, 6 acres are still used to plant wheat, and the other 14 acres are used to plant peas and forage.

With the continuous proficiency of farming technology, the effectiveness of the strongest manure continues to appear. The average total output of the 6 acres of wheat fields planted by Zhou Ming increased from 70 tarons six years ago to 100 tarons.

Although other farmers also learned to apply manure and increased their yields to a certain extent, the yield has only slightly increased slightly, which is far less exaggerated than the wheat field of Zhou Ming’s family.

The farmers in the town were talking about it and asked him for tips, but after looking at it, they still felt that Zhou Ming's methods were too complicated and it was not practical to promote them to hundreds of acres of land. So they gave him a nickname - "Lucky Little Ryan".

As for the other 14 acres of pasture, Zhou Ming used 20 Taron's grain to exchange for four lambs from the ranch housekeeper Leodona, and adopted a heifer with the annual rent of 2 Taron's grain.

Zhou Ming asked his sister Alice to learn how to raise these four cattle and sheep. In less than three years, the cattle and sheep grew up happily and gave birth to milk. In less than four years, the number doubled, and brought a lot of meat and dairy products to the little brother and sister.

There are also hundreds of chickens that Zhou Ming has stocked in order to prevent and control pests and diseases in wheat fields and pastures. The dozens of eggs laid every day not only improves the family conditions of the little brother and sister, but also develops much faster than their peers.

In addition, Zhou Ming is young, not yet 16 years old, not yet at the age of voluntarily working for the lord, and the work in the wheat field is not heavy, and his sister Alice can also help put chickens, cattle and sheep on it. Zhou Ming has a lot of time every day to exercise his body.

And during the exercise process, the object he was studying - the Knight.

The knight is the ultimate representative of the force of this era and the solid foundation for the ruling class to maintain rule. Being a noble and powerful knight is the dream of almost all the lower-level figures of this era.

Zhou Ming naturally also learned how the human-shaped tanks like the Knight were trained.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to give gifts to Mrs. Madeline, Zhou Ming, who entered the castle, secretly observed the knights who were training in the training ground to see what was different about them.

Slash horizontally, vertically, straightly, shields hit, sprint immediately, shoot arrows, throw axes, javelins... all these tricks.

Zhou Ming felt that the fighting skills of these knights were basically not much different from the fighting style in a game called "Horse Riding and Killing" he had played.

It’s just that the attack speed is faster, the bow and arrow are more accurate, and the impact force is greater... Practice makes perfect.

However, looking at the knights, they cut off the logs as thick as the bowl with one sword; a shield smashed the thick wooden boards as big as the door panel to pieces; wearing heavy armor and riding on the horse, at high speed, they cut the heads of scarecrows by the roadside, like cutting melons and vegetables, and were secretly shocked. Such terrifying force, in the field of wild battle, it would probably take less than an hour to kill a hundred farmers holding wooden sticks?

"You must never fight against these knights with invincible defense and strong attack power. Unless you use a crossbow or longbow with strong armor-breaking ability, you can defeat such a knight, or enter the age of hot weapons and use a medley gun to kill them..."

In an instant, many solutions flashed into Zhou Ming's mind.

But... for him, these solutions are not realistic at present. Needless to say, black gunpowder, both raw materials such as saltpeter sulfur are resources that are difficult to collect in large quantities. The complex spring devices in the crossbow also require skilled craftsmen to make.

As for the longbow, the height required is more than 1.8 meters. To pull the bowstring that requires nearly 40 kilograms of pulling force, you must also ensure a correct head 1,200 meters away...

"I'd better start with the most basic exercise. With a strong body, even if I can't beat these knights, I should be more than enough to protect myself."

So, since he was eight years old, Zhou Ming drank a glass of beef and goat milk every morning, dried a few eggs, and ate a large barley bread with butter, then started doing 500 push-ups, 100 frog jumps, and a 2,000-meter long-distance race. In the evening, he tied several sandbags on his body, and in the backyard, he held a sharpened birch pole and aimed at the mouth, eyes, neck, chest, and heart of the human-shaped wood target. He rushed forward and back three steps, and then stabbed it hard. This cycle was 1,500 times.

"Brother, why do you have to do these things? Can't you come and play with me for a while?" That day, Alice, the sister who was bored sitting at the door of the yard, pouted to Zhou Ming who was training.

My brother knows how to do these boring things all day long, and he doesn't know how to play with me for a while.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Ming completed the last set of spear sprint training, put the birch pole aside, wiped his face with linen, then sat next to Alice and looked at her with a gentle look for a while.

Although my only sister is only 10 years old, she has become a beauty. Perhaps it is because of her parents' genes, or maybe it is because of the nutrition that has been followed in recent years. Her crystal clear milky white skin, long golden wavy hair, a small nose as delicate as jade bamboo shoots, a little cute cherry mouth and a pair of charming big eyes, and a small-scale chest... Zhou Ming admitted that his sister will definitely become a famous beauty in the future.

Even now, when she walks on the road, she can already attract the attention of some farmers and knights.

"Lian, I heard that your sister Alice is very beautiful. Tomorrow you bring Alice to the castle and I want her to be my little lover." One day when Zhou Ming went to the castle to pay homage to Mrs. Madeline, Lord Lord's youngest son Donnie said to him like this.

Since ancient times, beauty has caused many troubles. My sister is so beautiful that she was targeted by someone at the age of ten. She doesn’t know what to do when she grows up.

"Alice, it's not that my brother doesn't want to play with you, it's that my brother must become stronger quickly and develop a lot of skills! In this way, my brother can protect you well and protect you from being hurt by those bad people." Zhou Ming kissed Alice's forehead and hugged her in his arms and said.

"Well, I understand, brother, you are so nice to me." Alice nodded sensibly. She was raised by this brother. No one in this world is the best for her except her brother.

"Alice is so well-behaved, so brother, tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a farmer's daughter, whose name was Cinderella..."

He told seven or eight stories in a row, until Alice pillowed on her arm, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and entered a sweet sleep. Zhou Ming then hugged her on the bed and gently covered her with a blanket.

"Alice, even if my brother has nothing in the future, I will not let you suffer any harm!"

Looking at his sleeping sister, Zhou Ming swears secretly.
