Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 17 One Night

"Xu Yuan?"

Looking at the familiar figure at the gate of the courtyard, Chu Mu looked thoughtful and pondered.

But immediately, there was some surprise.

In memory, Xu Yuan's father obviously has a much brighter future than the original owner's father.

After only a few years in the inspection station, he took the post of captain, and before he died in the post, there was news that he would be promoted to captain.

It is obvious that Xu Yuan has enjoyed his father's legacy, otherwise, how could a newcomer who has only been on the job for a few days to participate in the core interests of the matter before him.

After observing for a while, keeping the general face in mind, Chu Mu turned and left without hesitation.

The night was dark and windy, unarmed, and Chu Mu was alone, so he didn't dare to test people's hearts with his own safety.

"Does this count... I walked too much at night... I met a ghost?"

Chu Mu had a sudden thought, and then he couldn't help but smile secretly. This metaphor should be correct.

To the people of Qinghe County, his patrol skin should be no different from a ghost.

After thinking wildly, it didn't take long before Chu Mu returned to his small courtyard. The courtyard door was closed, as if isolated from the world.

When the lights were lit, the dimly lit courtyard became brighter.

Although it was late at night, according to Chu Mu's schedule, it was obviously not time to rest.

The long knife was out of its sheath, and with the saber in hand, Chu Mu walked out of the bedroom.

Standing still in the courtyard, Chu Mu came out with a knife after a while.

Chop, chop, tease...

The knife technique in memory is used meticulously.

With that "spiritual blessing" experience, Chu Mu is naturally very clear about the focus of his current sword practice.

Any other aspects of knife skills can be put on hold for now.

The most important thing right now is to control the knife in his hand.

A long knife weighing several kilograms cannot be controlled well, and the weight of that long knife is enough to completely deform any of his knife styles.

It's a very simple metaphor, that is, he can't control the inertia brought about by the weight and the force of the chop.

As for changing to a lighter knife...a person without any martial arts foundation, even with a tree branch, can't achieve perfect control of strength, changing a knife...is not very meaningful.

The thought was only fleeting, and Chu Mu completely devoted himself to the blade in front of him.

There is no link of moves, just simple chopping, chopping, teasing...

A few basic knife styles, one move, one style repeated.

Dry...and firm.

Unknowingly, sweat slowly oozes out.

The clothes on the arms were slowly soaked, and the sweat between the brows dripped with the swing of the blade.

Time is passing bit by bit.

In his previous life, it would be hard for Chu Mu to imagine that he would persist in such boring exercises.

Even at the moment, Chu Mu doesn't know what can be learned from this seemingly ordinary saber technique.

But everything strange in this era gave him too much insecurity.

And every bit of increase in the skill value on the light curtain panel can give him an inexplicable sense of security.

"call……"

Chu Mu let out a long breath, and put down the long knife. Sweat even seeped through the handle and dripped along the edge of the knife.

[Name: Chu Mu. 】

【Skill:
Basic knife skills (beginners practice) 48/100]

【Spirit value: 15.2%】

The light curtain panel appeared in the field of vision, and Chu Mu stared blankly at the skill value after the saber technique.

After about half an hour of practice, the value has already increased by as much as three points.

After so many days of practice, Chu Mu has already figured out the role of the proficiency value clearly.

His proficiency value is not the proficiency panel in the web articles he read in his previous life, but just a manifestation of his own skills.

In layman's terms, the extent to which he has practiced his skills will be reflected on the light curtain panel.

The role of proficiency is nothing more than to increase one's own skills and reflect them with numerical values.

But it is obvious that being able to see the rewards you get after your efforts in the most intuitive way is not scary for this alone.

After all, what people fear most is futile work.

If everyone can see the return after giving in such an intuitive way, they will probably have to become kings of rolls.

After thinking for a moment, the light curtain panel disappeared. Chu Mu looked around the small courtyard, put down the saber in his hand, and moved his body.

Chu Mu didn't know any way to relieve and relax after exercising, he just simply shook his hands, kneading and kneading himself.

Chu Mu didn't know if it had any effect. After all, exercising would cause soreness that lasted for a few days at the beginning, but after getting used to it, as long as it wasn't overly overloaded, it would basically recover after a night's sleep.

The activity relaxed for about ten minutes, and then went into the house to rest for a while, and then Chu Mu returned to the courtyard with the bucket and clothes.

Splash a few buckets of cold water, then scrub and wash, put on clean clothes, and then enter the bedroom, the flickering candles in the house are finally extinguished.

Chu Mu fell into a deep sleep, and one night was fleeting...

……

Early the next morning, when the sky was still dark, Chu Mu got up, washed up as usual, and then came to the courtyard with his saber.

After a night's sleep, the exhaustion accumulated throughout the day also dissipated, and Chu Mu was full of energy as he swung his long knife.

With every move, there is also a sense of strength.

It wasn't until the rising sun that Chu Mu put down the long knife in his hand.

Glancing at the light curtain panel, Chu Mu couldn't help laughing.

However, after practicing for half an hour, this time, his proficiency increased by five points for the first time.

"Not bad, good progress."

Chu Mu chuckled. According to this progress, his saber technique skills may break through to the next stage in a short time.

He put the long knife into the sheath casually, touched his empty stomach, then walked quickly to the bedroom, changed into the armor, and hurried out the door.

Originally, according to Chu Mu's impression, in this era, the food must be inferior to his previous life. After all, the variety of seasonings alone is enough to crush the food of this era.

But the truth is not what Chu Mu guessed, the basic seasonings are almost all available, but because of the difference in the world, the names of some seasonings are different.

And the types of food, because of the cheap food, have become extremely prosperous.

For a simple breakfast, there are dozens of vendors on the street, and most of them are of different types.

After all, the basic price of a copper is quite cheap compared to the price of grain.

Even beggars on the street can probably afford it, not to mention that there are hundreds of inspectors who go out early and return late in Nanshan Town.

After eating a large bowl of steaming rice noodles at the roadside stall, Chu Mu walked slowly towards the inspection station.

If Chu Mu remembered correctly, He Ergou said yesterday that today is the time for payment.

"The salary is paid at the beginning of the month, the establishment is really good..."

Chu Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his pace has sped up a lot...
