Chapter 1 [Going to the outside world]

At the beginning, Xia Leiming had a headache for the old guy's comments for a long time.

With his not very good cultural level, he only knows that "creative" seems to be a commendable evaluation, but "died without leaving your eyes open" seems to be a bad word.

The old guy is very irresponsible for Xia Leiming's cultural education. The simplicity can only make Xia Leiming recognize 80% of the words when he is just looking through some of the broken yellow books left by the old guy. As for the ones that can be understood, no more than half.

But even so, the old guy banned Xia Leiming from reading his collection of books. For this reason, Xia Leiming was not too much beaten by the old guy. He could only secretly look out for a while when the old guy was drowsy and drowsy.

Most of the things in it are similar to words such as "cavalry", "turning", "circumcision", and "surrounding", or something, or something, how much baggage can be transported, various ways of deploying troops on the terrain, river beach battles, plain battles, canyon ambushing, etc.

At the beginning, Shay Leiming thought these were war stories, just like the legendary battle stories told by the down-and-out minstrels in the town. But later, he saw some differences. At least, the content in the old guy's collection was definitely not as exciting as the stories told by the minstrels, and it could even be said to be boring.

Xia Ya Leiming once plucked up his courage to ask the old guy twice. However, on the first time, the old guy knocked his head with a stick and swollen for three days. The second time, the old guy got drunk, but didn't knock his head, but kicked him, stared at him and cursed a few words, "When I led the army, if I met a disobedient boy like you, I would have chopped it long ago..."

Well, according to this old guy who was full of dizziness, he not only "was" a famous swordsman on the mainland, but also "was" a general who led troops.

Is this really the case?

At least, Xia Leiming knew that a general would never be able to afford to drink wine. And the old guy could only drink the cheapest rye wine even when he drank. The wine was not only spicy, but also had a sour taste. Moreover, the amount of wine money was deducted from the gaps of his teeth.

"If he is a general, then I will be the emperor of the empire." This is Xia Leiming's conclusion.

But...when the evaluation of his axe skills, is the old guy praising or scolding himself?

Fortunately, he doesn't have to get a headache anymore.

Because one day after saying this, the old guy died.

In the old guy's own words, he died very "creative".

When Xia Yaleming came back from chopping firewood, he saw the old guy lying on the ground and lost his breath. He was dead on the road - climbing down from the bed and climbing towards the cabinet where the wine bottle was placed. Unfortunately, he was too weak and died halfway through the crawl. When he was dying, his hand reached in the direction of the wine cabinet.

From this point of view, the old guy is a very personal person, and even his way of dying is very personal. Because the old guy didn't know that the bottle on the cabinet had already been empty - there was not even a drop of wine there.

Xia Leiming buried the old guy.

He was buried behind their simple house, and found a concave behind the hillside, dug a hole, filled some soil and stones. However, when erecting the monument, Xia Leiming encountered a problem - what is ridiculous is that he didn't even know the old guy's name for so many years.

Before the age of eight, he called him "dad", and after the age of eight, he called him "old guy". As for the people in the town, they called him "old boiling ghost" and "old bastard".

After sitting in front of the grave for one night, Xia Yalei Ming sighed, chopped a piece of wood, and carved a line of words on it:

"The old man was buried here, may his soul rest in peace."

He ran to the town and sold the most valuable thing in his home - the broken axe, exchanged three copper plates, and exchanged them for a bottle of wine.

The wine of three copper plates per bottle is undoubtedly the most "high-end" wine that Xia Leiming has ever bought over the years.

But he poured the bottle of wine on the old man's grave and watched the wine flow into the soil, but he didn't drink it in one sip.

It was dawn that Xia Leiming, who was frozen all over his body, finally stood up. He stood in front of the grave and looked at the wooden sign with something indescribable in his eyes.

"Okay, old guy, you're gone. Now I'm the only one left."

…………

The first problem to be solved is to feed your stomach.

Although he can be regarded as a professional hunter, no, it is no exaggeration to say that he can be regarded as the best hunter within a radius of hundreds of miles nearby.

When he was thirteen years old, he went up the mountain to chop firewood alone, and used his broken axe in his hand to kill a hungry bloodthirsty wolf. This wolf is a low-level monster living on the wildfire field. When in an attack state, its fur can even become harder than a turtle shell, its teeth can bite the hunter's spear, and it is agile.

But that time, Xia Leiming cut off the wolf's head with only one axe.

A light axe.

In fact, at that time, Xia Yaleming, who was only thirteen years old, was so scared that he was almost wet his pants. When the wolf pounced on him, he had almost lost consciousness. He instinctively chopped the axe in his hand according to the posture he had practiced thousands of times on weekdays.

Then... he felt a hot blood splattering on his face. When he opened his eyes, there was a grinning wolf head on the ground in front of him, which broke from his neck, and the wolf 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.

So...I'm so powerful?!

But after carrying the wolf corpse back, when he excitedly told the old guy about this, the old guy was still very unhappy. There are two reasons why he was unhappy. The first is: "You have been practicing for so long. If you can't even kill a little wolf, you might as well find a piece of tofu to kill him."

And the second sentence is the real reason why the old guy gets angry:

"You idiot, do you know, if you chop off the wolf's head, the wolf's fur is worthless!! Originally, this wolf skin could be exchanged for two silver coins, enough for us to drink for three months! Now we can only buy one-tenth of the price at most!!"

The old guy is right.

That time, when Xia Leiming carried the wolf to the town, many people were interested in asking for the price, but when they saw the damaged wolf skin, no one cared about it.

As a result, the wolf skin was not sold until the end. Xia Leiming simply made a fur coat for himself, and he and the old guy ate the wolf meat for several days.

Uh...I can't think about wolf meat anymore.

Although the bloodthirsty wolf's meat is very unpalatable and has a sour smell, it is still an irresistible torture for Xia Leiming, who has been hungry for a day and a night and is still frozen hard all over.

However, Chara Leiming decided not to go up the mountain to hunt.

He doesn't want to be a hunter.

Young people always have a lot of fantasies, and they want to go out and try it out.

At least... in his opinion, finding a job as a helper in the town is much better than lying in the mountains and being as cowardly as an old guy for a lifetime.

Go to the town and find a job, even if you are a choreographer in the car dealership. Maybe with my strength, I can be attracted by the mercenary group and become a low-level entourage.

Although she was so hungry that she was roaring and her hands and feet were cold, Xia Yaleming still thought with great enthusiasm.

Without the axe, she used to be with her body, Xia Leiming found the black fire fork in the furnace, inserted it on her belt, wore the wolf-skin robe with several holes, and straw sandals that were almost worn out in the soles of her shoes. With the hope in her heart, she walked down the mountain.

This is the first step for Shaya Leiming to move to the outside world!

According to the legendary stories that the bards said, it should be called "the wheels of history begin to turn."

However, when our protagonist walked down the mountain, not only did he not have any bullshit "wheels", but his shoes were worn out, and at the same time, he was so hungry that he was dizzy.
