In the cold winter of the twelfth month, the feather-like snow sprinkled down, decorating the quiet snow scene around the thatched cottage. In this cold morning, if one could light a pot of charcoal at home, with a suppressed expression, take a small warmth while quietly facing the snow outside the window, one's imagination would run wild. It could also be considered as having fun in the cold, right?
However, there were some people who seized the limited time and worked hard to improve the capital to settle down in the future. They sweated like rain in this cold morning. Han Gang was one of them.
Liu Bei had already visited the thatched cottage twice and was only one step away from visiting the thatched cottage three times. If he was not wrong, Liu Bei would officially invite Zhuge Liang to leave the mountain on this winter day. How could Han Gang not be prepared?
Silver specks floated in the sky, reflecting the cold light in Han Gang's hand. It gave off a sense of killing intent. Now, Han Gang was fully immersed in familiarizing himself with the Dragon Spike. Coupled with the Dagger Skill he had practiced in his previous life, there was a sense of calm killing intent.
The Dragon Dagger flipped up and down, cutting to the left, stabbing to the right, slashing diagonally, and slashing straight. Everything was done without a sound, but this Dragon Dagger that did not contain any wind or thunder was even more cold and murderous. This move was the indifference of the enemy to his own life in his previous life. It was the indifference of confidence that easily took the life of others without any fancy moves.
After practicing the Dagger Skill, Han Gang withdrew his dagger and concentrated his strength. After adjusting his breathing a few times, he came to the " sandbag " that was already covered in blood with his rough but gradually even breathing. His eyes turned cold and he quickly hit it, causing a loud bang! Bang! Make a sound.
Perhaps it was because of the cold weather, the sandbag was frozen hard, or perhaps it was because he knew that time was tight and he was about to enter the exciting world of the Three Kingdoms, so he was a little nervous. In short, since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, although the sound of hitting the "sandbag" was not to the point of being ear-piercing, it was still exceptionally loud.
It was precisely because of this that a scene that often happened in the past few days happened. Little San rubbed his still sleepy eyes and complained as he walked out of the room near the courtyard where he was resting. He said to Han Gang,"I say, Little Four, what's wrong with you recently? Why didn't he sleep more in the middle of winter? Why did he wake up so early every day?”
Han Gang didn't say anything more when he heard his third brother's complaint. He pretended not to hear it and continued to hit his hands. One had to know that little San's complaints weren't just for a day or two. These few days, every time he was woken up by Han Gang, the first thing he said was always this. Although it wasn't exactly the same as the original words, the general meaning was similar.
Moreover, it was time for him to get up and cook. Han Gang thought that he was very kind. First, he practiced the Dagger Skill and hit the sandbag. He also wanted to ask him to sleep a little more. Anyone who had trained before knew that he had to warm up first to achieve the greatest training effect.
However, anyone who was woken up from a deep sleep would probably be in a bad mood, so Han Gang never opened his mouth to say anything at this time.
Time passed quickly as Han Gang continued to practice and the " mistress " prepared the food. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed. Han Gang, who was almost done with his training, wiped the sweat off his head with a towel and walked to the kitchen to help the " mistress " with the kitchen matters.
Han Gang asked as he added firewood to the stove,"Is Master still not up?"
The "mistress" who was stirring the porridge in the pot with a rice spoon heard Han Gang's question and replied unhappily,"It's been a few years. Don't you know Old Master's habits? Why ask it? Do you think everyone is like you? You don't sleep well in the middle of winter and wake up so early to make trouble?”
Han Gang smiled bitterly and said nothing more. He was not only smiling bitterly at his mistress 'attitude, but also at his master Zhuge Liang's habit. In modern times, everyone thought that Zhuge Liang sleeping and asking Liu Bei to wait was an act and a display of arrogance.
Han Gang, who was there personally, realized that this was simply a problem with Zhuge Liang's habits. He didn't know if it was because there was nothing to work on or because people were really lazy in winter. In short, after interacting with him for a few years, Han Gang realized that once winter came, his master would become very lazy. Sometimes, he could even sleep until the afternoon.
It was true that the freezing sun was short, and time passed relatively quickly. This phenomenon was not uncommon in modern times. However, it was hard to accept that Zhuge Liang, who had always been said to be "as intelligent as a demon", had such a habit of ordinary people. Although wisdom had nothing to do with sleeping in, Han Gang did not know why he could not accept it.
Han Gang, who was letting his imagination run wild, and the mistress, who was still complaining, although their expressions were different, they were still quite compatible in terms of tacit understanding in cooking. In a short while, the two of them had finished cooking.
After placing the dishes, the "mistress" hurried to Zhuge Liang's bedroom and summoned him to get up and eat.
Not long after, Zhuge Liang also came to the kitchen with sleepy eyes. Han Gang could see that although his master had washed up, he was still sleepy. He seemed to know that his master would definitely go back to sleep after eating. Han Gang quickly scooped the rice and handed it to his master.
The three of them finished their meal calmly. Sure enough, Zhuge Liang smiled and ordered,"Gang 'er! Think carefully about the battle tactics I taught you last night. In the afternoon, I'll test you.”
After saying that, he did not even look at Han Gang's bitter and helpless expression. He smiled apologetically and turned around to walk towards his bedroom.
Looking at his master who was gradually leaving, Han Gang thought with a bitter smile,"Alright, I'll go train first!”
After eating, the "little San" didn't care where Han Gang went. He tidied up and went back to his room to sleep, leaving the helpless Han Gang behind. After adjusting his emotions, he walked towards the courtyard.
After practicing for another hour, Han Gang suddenly heard the sound of hooves coming from afar. Judging from the sound that was getting louder and louder, it must be from the direction of the thatched cottage. There were no other residents in the area, so where else could he be if not here? The puzzled Han Gang hurriedly threw away the "stone dumbbell" in his hand and ran towards the courtyard door.
It didn't matter when Han Gang saw this, but he smiled. It turned out that the " Liu Bei's Three Visits to the Cottage " was drawn today. He saw three people riding in front of him. They were Liu Bei, who had an expectant look on his face, and Guan and Zhang, who were very unwilling.
When the three of them rode their horses to the front, Han Gang smiled and bowed."Imperial uncle has come a long way. My master is at home now, but he has not woken up yet.”
Liu Bei was already overjoyed to receive such a big surprise just as he arrived at the courtyard. Whether it was the other party sleeping soundly or doing something else, as long as he was there, there was hope, right?
Liu Bei said to Han Gang in a good mood,"Little brother, don't be like this. I want Mister Kong Ming to rest, how can I disturb him? Little brother, just bring me to the living room and wait. You can't disturb Teacher's sleep.”
Liu Bei's words were within Han Gang's expectations, because this classic scene left the deepest impression on Han Gang. However, these words were out of Guan and Zhang's expectations. Who was his big brother? Not to mention the reputation he had built over the decades, just his identity as the Imperial Uncle of the Great Han Dynasty was already very courteous to him. Now, he had to wait for Kong Ming to wake up?
Zhang Fei was furious." Wait a moment, big brother. I'll go to Kong Ming's bedroom and set a fire. Let's see if he can still sleep."”
Zhang Fei's voice was so loud that even a sleeping person would probably be woken up by his angry words, right? Perhaps Zhang Fei's rough appearance was for Master to hear?
Thinking of this, Han Gang smiled bitterly and did not say anything. He quietly waited for his master to come out to welcome him, but he did not expect it to be 'little sister'. The "mistress" came out to welcome him with a sad face."Imperial Uncle, please wait in the living room. I'll inform Old Master now.”
Han Gang could completely understand the little San's expression. Presumably, the little San had just closed his eyes and was woken up by Zhang Fei's loud voice, right? Little San could understand, but why did Master not seem to hear it? "Could it be that he was angry because Zhang Fei shouted at him? Did you do this on purpose?"
As he thought about it, Han Gang was at a loss for words. Before this, he had thought that the rumors of Zhuge An sleeping with his uncle were true. But now that he looked at it, it seemed like he was putting on airs. Although he was not targeting Liu Bei, but Zhang Fei, it was also true!
After hearing what little San had to say, Liu Bei hurriedly said,""Little brother, you don't have to wake Mister up. Just bring me to the living room. I can wait.”
Without waiting for Guan and Zhang to say anything, Liu Bei said to Han Gang,""I'll have to trouble Little Brother Han to bring us brothers out hunting so that they won't get bored of waiting.”
As soon as Liu Bei spoke, he glared at Guan and Zhang until they swallowed the words that were about to come out. Liu Bei smiled at Han Gang and Xiao San and said,"Brothers, please."
Liu Bei had already made up his mind. Guan and Zhang could only sigh and say nothing more.
Looking at the situation, Han Gang stepped forward and said with a smile,"Why don't you two generals come to the place where I usually practice martial arts and teach this kid? My master is an elegant person who doesn't know martial arts, so I've been trying to figure it out myself. It's really difficult.”
Hearing Han Gang's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he looked at Han Gang with admiration. Guan and Zhang were currently extremely unconvinced of Zhuge Liang. Han Gang pointing out that his master did not know martial arts at this time undoubtedly confirmed the ability of Guan and Zhang. How could he not ask the two of them to calm down a small part of their anger?
At this moment, Guan and Zhang's eyes also lit up, and they replied with interest,"Alright! Little brother, please."
They were also very curious about Han Gang's martial arts skills. This nine-year-old youth could become a mountain wolf, and he could even silently approach Guan Yu without being noticed. There was indeed something strange about him.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Han Gang was naturally very happy. One had to know that they were about to enter a chaotic world. It was not a bad thing to improve some martial arts, right? As for whether or not Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could help him grow his martial strength, was there even a need to think about it? Of course not. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been famous for thousands of years. Although they had encountered this era of heroes, it also meant that they had their own abilities to stand here.
At this moment, Little San also opened his mouth and said,"Please follow me, Imperial Uncle."”
Just like that, Han Gang led Guan, Zhang, and Xiao San towards two different directions.
