When the green-robed man and County Magistrate Wu arrived at the eastern end of the village, they immediately saw a small forest.
At the edge of the forest.
A little fellow was playing around with a small wooden sword.
There was a withered tree in front of him.
The tree was ten feet tall and bare, without a single leaf. It seemed to have died long ago.
Rather than calling it a tree, it was more like a lifeless stump.
At this moment.
From a few steps away, everyone could clearly see:
The little fellow was swinging the wooden sword left and right, slashing at the tree stump again and again.
His movements were very slow, like a child playing," knocking " on the tree stump.
Seeing this scene, the sword-wielding followers laughed.
"Is this child practicing his sword skill? Haha, I'm dying of laughter!"
"Look at his speed. He's even slower than a turtle. As for its power, there's no need to mention it."
"Look at the little guy's posture. His body is swaying and his undercarriage is unstable. An adult would probably be able to make the child fall to the ground with a gentle push. Haha, I'm dying of laughter!"
The Great Tang revered martial arts.
The knife-wielding followers were also soldiers of the Jingzhou Prefecture and had been in the army for many years. Therefore, whenever he saw someone dancing with the sword, he liked to comment on it with military skills.
However…
"Shut up! Little Baby was a poor child of a farmer. There was no one to guide him in his skills. What was so funny about it? Besides, he was still a seven-year-old child. How old are you?"
The green-robed man shouted in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the knife-wielding followers shut their mouths, but the smiles on their faces could not be stopped.
Because:
Little Baby was too funny!
Hahahaha-hahahaha-
……
Then, everyone stepped on the fallen leaves and slowly walked into the forest.
Rustle! Rustle!
Rustle! Rustle!
Hearing the voice, Chen An stopped and turned around.
"Ah? The county magistrate is here! Greetings, County Magistrate!"
Chen An placed his small wooden sword diagonally at his waist. Then, he imitated his master and bowed to County Magistrate Wu.
This bow almost caused the small wooden sword to fall to the ground.
It seemed that the belt made of rags was not fastened tightly…
Chen An quickly straightened his body and tightened his belt again.
He couldn't hold it in anymore!
He really couldn't take it anymore!
The lackey with the saber could no longer control the laughter in his heart and laughed out loud.
A prefectural soldier smiled and said,""Little kid, do you want me to give you an iron sword and a leather belt? That's an item from the army!"
As soon as he said that, Chen An raised his head.""No! I want my little wooden sword. Mother personally cut this for me!"
"Haha!"
The green-robed man and County Magistrate Wu also laughed.
This little fellow…
"Alright, alright! Chen An, come over quickly. "Let me introduce you, this is Scholar Yi Chuan from the state capital. He is knowledgeable and famous in Jingzhou.”
"Oh!"
Chen An ran over and bowed to the man in green.""Hello, Scholar!"
"Haha! Hello, Little Baby!"
The green-robed man smiled and patted the little fellow's head.
Chen An rolled his eyes.
"Haha! Alright, let's talk when we return to the village! Brother Yi Chuan, please!"
"Please!"
County Magistrate Wu took Chen An's hand and led him into the village.
Everyone slowly followed.
At this moment, no one knew what happened next.
When everyone left the small forest and returned to the village. A gust of wind blew, and the huge withered tree fell to the ground with a bang.
The part where the withered tree was broken was flat and neat.
Every inch and every inch was extremely smooth. It was like a super weapon that had existed for thousands of years. In 0.01 seconds, it instantly cut through the entire withered tree.
What kind of terrifying skill was this?
What kind of terrifying martial strength was this?
An ordinary little wooden sword was able to produce such a strange destructive power.
Was the wooden sword powerful?
Or was that little child better?
He did not know!
No one knew, not even the entire Great Tang Empire!
Little Baby was too mysterious.
His origins were mysterious, his knowledge was mysterious, and even his martial arts were equally mysterious.
But one thing was certain:
The so-called enemy of ten thousand in the Great Tang was nothing more than a joke in front of him.
……
In the Chen family's small courtyard.
Miss Chen brought out the only stool in the house and borrowed two benches from her neighbor.
This allowed the county magistrate and the man in green to sit down.
As for the tea?
Sorry, there was no tea.
Although there was water, there were not enough bowls.
There were only two bowls in the house. One was for Miss Chen and the other was for Xiao Wa. They were both very small.
Standing in front of the two noble people, Miss Chen's face was red and she felt very ashamed.
There was no tea for the guests to drink.
"Why don't I go to the village chief's house to borrow two bowls?”Miss Chen said weakly.
"Forget it, forget it!"
County Magistrate Wu waved his hand and stopped her from doing anything."Third Aunt, sit down! Scholar Yi Chuan and I will leave after a while!”
"Here!"
Miss Chen bowed and sat on a small stool with Chen An in her arms.
After he sat down, the green-robed man said,""Little girl, your name is Chen An, right? Seven years old this year?"
Chen An nodded.
"Yes, be good! Chen An, I came from the state capital. The Provincial Governor heard that there was a prodigy in Jiangling, so he asked me to come and take a look. Can I ask you a few questions?"
What? Exam questions?
You don't believe that the baby is a child prodigy?
Chen An was a little dissatisfied and looked up at his mother.
Miss Chen hurriedly nodded.
Seeing his mother's actions, Chen An said,""Alright, go ahead!"
The green-robed man was very happy. He smiled and asked,"Have you studied the Book of Songs?"
What was that? The Book of Songs?
Hehe, how dare you use this kind of child's question to test your baby?
This was too low-level!
Baby thought you were going to test on military affairs or even the development of human civilization?
"Yes!"
Chen An nodded instantly, looking indifferent.
Miss Chen was stunned.
An An had learned the Book of Songs? As a mother, how come I don't know? When he was young, he had only taught him the Thousand Character Classic! The Thousand Character Text was written during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It was an enlightenment book for children.
The green-robed man continued to speak while Miss Chen was in a daze.
"Good! Then I'll test you. Recite the Book of Songs, Papaya, and tell me its meaning. Little child, do you know this poem?"
At the end of the question, the green-robed man was afraid that Chen An had not read this poem, so he deliberately added another question.
After all, the entire 'Book of Songs' was divided into 'Wind,''Elegance,' and 'Ode.' It contained a total of over 300 ancient poems.
It was already good enough for an ordinary person to recite a hundred poems.
Chen An smiled when he heard the question.
Accompanied by his smile, at this moment…
In his eyes, there was a sudden flash of endless light. The light was dazzling, but it was invisible to the naked eye.
In the next moment.
The resplendent light suddenly changed and turned into ancient characters formed by light.
The 'light characters' were arranged in rows and presented in front of Chen An's eyes. They were as clear as a three-dimensional projection.
Looking at the word 'light' in front of him, Chen An began to read aloud,"
"Book of Songs, Papaya"
"Give me papayas and repay me with Qiong Ju. This is not to repay, but to make friends forever! Give me a peach tree, and give me a jade tree in return. It's not retribution, it's always good..."
"The meaning of this poem is: You give me papaya, I give you Qiong Ju in return. It's not to thank you, but to cherish our feelings and be together forever. Give me the wooden peach…"
Chen An raised his head and said,"This is a folk allusion. It's the origin of 'throwing papaya to repay Qiongyao'!”
Pa, pa, pa!
The green-robed man clapped.
County Magistrate Wu clapped.
The followers were dumbfounded,"F * ck, this little kid we're laughing at is actually so powerful?"
I heard that he's only seven years old!
Could it be that the literary star in the sky had descended?？？
