Chapter 4 Six-Combination Sword Technique

Just as he was about to go out in the snow to look for her, there was a knock on the door. Leng Yiyao didn't care who that person was at this moment and immediately ran out to open the door.

When he opened the gate, he saw a person dressed in snow-white standing outside the house. "What are you standing there for? Go back to the house. It's very cold outside." After saying that, Zhou Chen walked straight into the house.

It was not until Zhou Chen walked into the house that he reacted, closed the gate and walked back. After Zhou Chen entered the house, he immediately threw down half of the deer's body and then sat beside the fire to warm himself.

Leng Yiyao came in and saw Zhou Chen's appearance and quickly helped him brush off the snow on his body. "Brother Chen, why did you come back so late today? You made me worry about you for so long."

Zhou Chen glanced at the sika deer that was already frozen stiff beside him and said, "It's all because of him that he delayed us, otherwise it would have returned before dark."

Leng Yiyao then looked at the prey beside her. She had been worried that Zhou Chen hadn't noticed it, "Oh my God, Brother Chen, you have a big catch today, but why is it only half a prey?"

"Oh, I met Li Ergou on the way back just now, so I gave half of the venison to him." Then Zhou Chen told Leng Yiyao what had happened. Of course, he did not tell Leng Yiyao about Li Ergou's sneak attack. He only said that Li Ergou exchanged half of the venison with him for a secret book of swordsmanship.

"Brother Chen, this Li Ergou is not a good person. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the things he gives, right?"
Zhou Chen had also thought about this question, but now he had nothing left, so even if it was fake, he would at most lose half a deer. But if it was real, wouldn't he make a fortune?

"Don't worry, it's okay." Then Zhou Chen sat by the fire and picked up the book of Liuhe Sword Technique and read it carefully, while Leng Yiyao went to heat up food for Zhou Chen.

At the same time, she cut a piece of venison to cook. The kitchen was not far from the living room. Leng Yiyao asked while cooking, "Brother Chen, I don't think the snow will stop for a while. You don't have to go up the mountain tomorrow."

Zhou Chen replied while looking at the secret book, "Well, I'll take a rest for the next two days."

The secret book was not very thick, and most of it was pictures and not many words. Zhou Chen finished reading it quickly and couldn't wait to open his attribute panel.

Zhou Chen said with a puzzled look on his face, "Why is it not there? Is this secret book fake?" Then he sighed and said, "I knew it, how could Li Ergou have a secret book on swordsmanship?"

At this time, the food had been served on the table. "Brother Chen, come and eat," Zhou Chen nodded and sat down. Zhou Chen also casually threw the secret book into the stove.

"Brother Chen, why did you burn him?" Leng Yiyao asked with a puzzled look.

"Hey, why keep the fake ones?"

Leng Yiyao is a good cook. Although there is no seasoning, the food tastes much better after his preparation. At least it is much better than what I cook myself.

Just after Zhou Chen took a few bites, a notification sound appeared in front of him: "Obtained 0.01 reinforcement points."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he subconsciously quickened his eating speed.

Soon Zhou Chen was so full that he couldn't eat any more, but there was still a lot of venison.

The next morning, when Zhou Chen was still asleep, Leng Yiyao had already gotten up early. The reason why he got up so early was very simple, which was to pack and store the venison.

This deer was very fat, unlike a pheasant, which could be eaten in one meal. After cleaning it up, the deer meat was put in the cellar. Their cellar was not in the yard, but under the room. Leng Yiyao looked at the food in the cellar and said, "With so much food, we should be able to get through the winter if we save it." Zhou Chen also woke up at this time. He walked around the room but didn't see Leng Yiyao. When he was curious, he saw Leng Yiyao coming out of the cellar.

"Brother Chen, you're awake. I just cleaned up the deer. Wait for me and I'll cook."

Zhou Chen pushed open the door. The snow outside still showed no sign of stopping. He opened his panel. The strengthening points had reached 0.4. Deer meat was more effective than pheasant. The speed of gaining strengthening points was much faster. Although he didn't know why, it was always a good thing.

With nothing to do, he took out the amber and walked straight into the yard. Although the secret book was fake, it would be fine to practice it when he had nothing to do.

Zhou Chen then began to practice according to the instructions in the secret book. Although the secret book had been burned, the contents had already been memorized in his mind.

After practicing several times, a prompt appeared in front of him: "Obtained the martial art Liuhe Sword Technique". Zhou Chen was stunned. He immediately opened his panel and found that Liuhe Sword Technique (not yet mastered) appeared in the martial arts column. Although he had not yet mastered it, since it had come out, all that was left was to add some points.

At this time, Leng Yiyao's meal was ready. Zhou Chen was in a good mood. He put away the amber and went straight to the dining table.

Looking at the large plate of venison on the table, he said, "Yiyao, prepare more meat for every meal in the future."

Leng Yiyao didn't understand but nodded and agreed anyway. Zhou Chen was very energetic today and ate most of the venison on the table in a short while. Although eating meat could gain strengthening points, his stomach was limited. He was already very full and couldn't eat anything else.

Leng Yiyao just looked at Zhou Chen in front of her with eager eyes and said, "Brother Chen, why have you become so rude when eating?"

"Really? Maybe it's because you're hungry," Zhou Chen pushed the remaining venison to Leng Yiyao's side.

Then Zhou Chen pulled out amber and started practicing swordsmanship in the yard. He couldn't eat too much, so he had to exercise, otherwise it would be bad for his health.

"Hurry up, or I'll break your legs. It's so unlucky that I have to take you back in such heavy snow."

Hearing the sound, Zhou Chen climbed up the courtyard wall and looked outside. He saw two officers holding a man with an iron chain and walking towards the outside of the village in the wind and snow.

Zhou Chen had seen this man before. He was a poor guy in the village. His parents died when he was young, and he did all kinds of sneaky things all day long.

Looking at the two officers, Zhou Chen could not help but activate his skills. Immediately, the information of the two appeared above their heads. One of them had a strength of 19 while the other was even more powerful, reaching 21.

At this time, the two also noticed Zhou Chen, and one of them said angrily, "What are you looking at, you villain?"

Zhou Chen quickly retracted his head and ran into the room. Seeing Zhou Chen running in hurriedly, Leng Yiyao asked, "What's wrong?"
"Erniu was arrested by the police for no apparent reason."

The heavy snow lasted for three days. During these three days, Zhou Chen practiced sword skills and ate meat. Fortunately, no one came to visit. If other people saw that they could afford such sumptuous meals, they would be envious to death.

But who would have the time to visit when they have no food to eat, unless they come to borrow food.

Although Zhou Chen has been practicing Liuhe Sword Technique these days, he has not made any progress and is still at the entry level.

Finally, on the third day, he had gathered enough strengthening points. Zhou Chen chose to add points without any hesitation. Suddenly, a piece of information came into his mind. Zhou Chen practiced swordsmanship day after day without getting tired. Finally, one morning, Zhou Chen realized it, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
