Unlike beating the body, the training time for karma is very limited, and it is not something you can practice just because you want to.

Liu Cang quickly ended his body-protecting state with Gang Qi. He still wanted to do it, but he couldn't try again today.

He dropped his training posture and stood still with his gun in hand, but now he felt a little unmotivated.

Cai Yong was surprised by Liu Cang's ability to control karma and asked Liu Cang about his feelings. Little Cai Yan was nowhere to be seen. He must have gone back to his house to practice calligraphy.

"Yan'er is more studious than you after all." He asked for a moment and confirmed that Liu Cang's body was fine. Cai Yan was not seen around, so Cai Yong sighed to Liu Cang.

"You have a great age, and you should not neglect your studies. If you are no longer as good as Yan'er in the future, let's see how you deal with yourself." While Liu Cang was searching for straw and hemp ropes in the courtyard, Cai Yong was sitting in the courtyard, nagging Liu Cang like a casual chat.

"It's better to just let it go. Xiaoyan is someone's sister, so I am happy that she is so good." Dragging a piece of thick hemp rope, Liu Cang sat down on the stone pier near Cai Yong with the iron knife in hand.

"Oh, with your temperament, should I say free and easy, or lazy?" Cai Yong said with a smile. He had nothing to do, so the two of them chatted about trivial matters.

"This knife is a bit rough. Have you been to the Zhang family in that county?" Cai Yong asked, looking at the iron knife in Liu Cang's hand.

"No, there is no need for me. The clan leader sent someone there early in the morning. The weapons are all ready-made. I'm afraid you will tell me that he is hiding from you." Liu Cang began to wrap around the ring-shou knife.

Hemp rope, said to Cai Yong.

The blade of the ring knife in Liu Cang's hand is very rough and feels a bit like cast iron. Let alone a steel knife, it is far from fine iron.

The clan elder said that he wanted to provide the village with fine iron knives, but it was quite time-consuming to make them, because tomorrow was the day of the "arrangement" with the neighboring village, so he first bought a batch of ready-made inferior knives to replenish the number.

"I am not a pedantic person, you Liu family are old, hehe." Cai Yong said with a smile.

"Oh? Father, since you are not pedantic, why don't you get some books and let me exchange them for some money and food?" Liu Cang acted greedy.

"Haha, are you trying to lose your worth?"

"There is no shortage of food at home, so don't talk nonsense. You are still young. When the right opportunity comes, the person who should be matched with you will naturally not be without you." Cai Yongle said.

If others had said such things to Cai Yong, Cai Yong would probably have become anxious. However, he has known Liu Cang for a long time and knew that he was just chatting and joking, so he would not take him seriously.

Life in the village was mostly self-sufficient. In this era, most people, including counties, actually lived a life without any spare money.

It can't be said that you are poor. On the one hand, you are being deducted from miscellaneous taxes. On the other hand, there is probably no need.

People occasionally use their income from home to exchange for some money, and most of them quickly replace it with other daily necessities, which can also reduce or exempt some benefits such as property taxes.

When Liu Cang first met Cai Yong, Cai Yong was empty-handed.

What Cai Yong said about him being indispensable was really not Cai Yong bragging about how rich his family was. The so-called suitable opportunity was that he was given as a gift by a close friend.

Liu Cang couldn't help but chuckle at this kind of coquettish operation.

These great scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived a real life, emphasizing ethics but not being pedantic. The so-called gentleman making money is also a beautiful saying here.

Of course, this kind of beautiful talk is definitely not to encourage people to be greedy. In addition to friends who have similar interests, they often share some necessary belongings for survival.

The two men were joking and talking, and the hemp rope in Liu Cang's hand had already been wrapped around half of the blade. The hemp rope wrapped around the knife was not for maintenance or to make it more lethal.

Because of Cai Yong's existence, Lou Sang Village equipped the young men with relatively standard weapons. Seeing the fight between the two villages, Lou Sang prepared to go into battle with their swords.

However, this kind of carrying the knife is more for deterrence and display. Not to mention that it is impossible to kill people between villages. The clan elders themselves have the responsibility to maintain rural security and mediate conflicts in the countryside.

Well, compared to the conflict between the two villages initiated by the clan leader, these statements seem contradictory.

If you want to be simple and intuitive, you only need to understand that compared to modern times, this era is still sufficiently barbaric.

Not to mention the folk village, just like Cai Yong at this time, he could not be said to be indifferent to Liu Cang, but he knew that he was going to participate in a fight tomorrow, but he would not say anything to advise and stop him.

For people in this era, as long as things happen for a reason and go into battle with a sword, this is what a good man should do.

After all, this is the era of family and world, and this reason never specifically refers to the national level.

The blade of the knife was wrapped with a hemp rope and could be used to knock or cut, but it would not kill anyone with its blade. When the two were chatting, it seemed that Cai Yong was deliberately guiding them, and the topic gradually turned to essays.

"Father, speaking of which, is it a bit troublesome to mark the sentence fragments in this article now?"

Cai Yong didn't always speak eloquently, but when it came to studying, he was rigorous in every word of classics and history. Liu Cang was a little confused when he heard this, and in the blink of an eye he started to get smart again.

"Huh? What's the trouble?" Cai Yong was confused.

"You see, most articles nowadays are written in one go. Even if there is a gap between sentences, it is easy to cause criticism. If you add this kind of punctuation when breaking the sentence, wouldn't the bean-style punctuation make it more straightforward to express the meaning?"

Liu Cang wrapped the blade of the sword and drew a comma on the ground.

"Or is this kind of punctuation going to cause taboos and make the family displeased?" Liu Cang asked Cai Yong.

The ancients were not stupid, and as far as Liu Cang could see, there were gaps between words in the Book of Rites annotated by Cai Yong.

Nowadays, Liu Cang is somewhat in awe of the way of Chinese studies. He doesn't believe that people like Cai Yong don't even know how to use commas and periods.

Originally, Liu Cang thought that this was more likely to be part of the so-called aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge.

Finally, when he looked up, he saw Cai Yong looking at him with eyes that were both comforting and caring for a mentally retarded person.

"Uh, father, what's wrong? Or is it inappropriate to say this?" Liu Cang asked in astonishment.

"Haha, sentence analysis, you actually thought of this." Cai Yong had a strange expression, and Liu Cang was confused.

"Let's not talk about taboo words for now. I ask you, father, do you think this clear sentence is better?" Cai Yong asked.

"Isn't it good?" Liu Cang asked.

"Who is it good for?" Cai Yong asked again.

"Of course he is a scholar. Just like the people in the countryside, if a book is circulated and everyone understands it, it is naturally better for the common people at the bottom, right?" Liu Cang said softly.

"Haha." A smile flashed across Cai Yong's face.

"You, I thought you were Liu's son after all." Cai Yong shook his head and sighed, but the expression on his face was relaxed.

"Huh?" Liu Cang questioned.

Isn't it good for the lower class? The Liu family? This definitely does not mean that the Liu family of Sangcun is the Liu family of today? This sounds a bit wrong.

"You're young, don't always harbor evil thoughts." Liu Cang looked suspicious, and Cai Yong scolded him.

"First of all, don't talk about your likes and dislikes. As a father, I ask you, do you know the various schools of thought?" Cai Yong shook his head and asked Liu Cang.

"I don't know what is known. Hundreds of schools of thought contended during the Warring States Period. The Pre-Qin Dynasty gave up and only respected Confucianism." Liu Cang thought.

"So now I am a big man who only respects Confucianism?" Cai Yong said with a smile.

Liu Cang was a little dazed, at a loss, and a little bit grumbled: Why should you ask me? You are a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and you don’t have any clues in your mind?
