Chapter 006: The Old Bear Escapes from the Cage (Part Two)
This stick should be made of some rare wood, soaked in tung oil, wrapped in hemp gray, and coated with lacquer. It appears that I must have used it frequently, otherwise, I would not have such a familiar feeling. If it were just an ordinary stick, it would not have such a complicated process. Liu Chuang held the large stick and, following the techniques from his memory, shook it a dozen times, feeling a surge of warmth throughout his body, accompanied by a deepening breath.
Regardless, at least there is already a good start
Zhu Hai did not decline and readily agreed.
He took a deep breath, pushed open the wooden door, and walked into the courtyard alongside Zhu Hai
When he smiles, his eyes narrow into a line, giving him an added air of simplicity and sincerity.
Looking at the secluded courtyard beneath the green willows, Liu Chuang felt somewhat nervous
His strength cannot be considered small; even with shackles weighing forty to fifty pounds hanging from him, it would not have too much of an impact
So heavy
Having been reborn, it seems as though I have fallen into a fog. Setting aside my own peculiarities, the mysterious descendant of the Emperor Que is equally enigmatic. It appears that there are many secrets surrounding me, including my uncle Zhu Hai, who also seems to have his own stories.
Outdoors, the sun is shining brightly, which also signifies good weather. Before leaving, Zhu Hai instructed Liu Chuang to settle things and then go to the yamen to find him for a meal together. Looking at the sun, it is almost mealtime, so stepping out at this moment is just right to catch up with Zhu Hai for dinner
Nowadays, no matter what, one must strive for a chance, to create a remarkable life for oneself
Standing outside the courtyard, the entire small yard is visible at a glance
Spear? Halberd? Or perhaps a gun
By the doorway, there stands a willow tree taller than a person, its branches reaching out from the courtyard, the willow twigs drooping and swaying in the wind. It is early spring, and the temperature in the East China Sea is still somewhat damp and chilly; however, on those willow branches, a hint of tender green has already emerged, exuding vibrant vitality
After Uncle Liu Yong returns, we will discuss the matter of seeking refuge with Liu Bei, aiming for future success and making a decisive effort here.
Liu Chuang's home is located to the west of Quxian County, at a relatively high elevation
Everything seems to indicate one thing: that uncle, whom Liu Chuang has not seen since his rebirth, does not appear to be an ordinary person either
Therefore, when constructing houses, people habitually elevate the ground bed, raising it higher off the ground to prevent the intrusion of harmful winds. In Liu Chuang's home, the ground bed is similarly elevated, standing a full half meter above the ground. The floor is made from the local specialty of Qushan, using coarse bamboo, which is not very costly. A layer of grass-woven bedding is laid on top, somewhat akin to the tatami mats of a certain island nation in later times, although the craftsmanship and quality are not as refined as depicted in illustrations.
In contrast to the various mists surrounding him, he felt a surge of passion and excitement
Zhu Hai finished explaining the matters and then hurriedly left
At that moment, a person suddenly sprang out from the side and lunged towards Liu Chuang
The small house to the north is where Zhu Hai resides. When Zhu Hai decided to settle in Quxian, Liu Yong suggested that the two families live together
After all, being in a public position, even if he is a thief, must adhere to the rules
Subsequently, he financed the construction of a small house on the vacant land to the north of the courtyard, with a roof covered in white thatch, and did not use too many bricks and tiles. After all, in this era, bricks and tiles were materials typically reserved for the wealthy... For ordinary people, the cost was indeed somewhat high... After Zhu Hai moved in, Liu Chuang felt a significant increase in liveliness. When he lived with Liu Yong, he always felt a bit lonely... After Zhu Hai moved in, Liu Chuang truly felt much more lively. When he lived with Liu Yong, he always felt a bit lonely. Liu Yong was not good with words, spoke very little, and was a taciturn person, in stark contrast to Zhu Hai.
This body weighs over 200 pounds
In a past life, I have already experienced that kind of mundane existence
Clean yourself up in a little while and wash away this misfortune
The more mysterious it is, the more complex it becomes; the more complex it is, does it not indicate that the days to come will also be vibrant and full of excitement, and not overly dull
However, this stick, whose material is unknown, feels heavy and somewhat burdensome. In other words, the weight of this stick is at least over 100 pounds. Holding the stick horizontally in front of me, my body instinctively reacted, one foot forward and one foot back. Then, I adjusted the stick in my hand, using all the strength from my waist and abdomen, and with a vigorous shake... A low rumble was heard as the stick emitted a muffled sound, creating a gust of wind. Holding the stick horizontally in front of me, my body instinctively reacted, one foot forward and one foot back.

However, this large stick in hand should not be too simple
In my memory, it seems that apart from the set of Dragon and Snake Nine Transformations, Uncle Liu Yong did not impart any other martial arts. Besides practicing strength with the staff, it appears that only Zhu Hai taught him some skills in hand-to-hand combat and weaponry. However, the techniques Zhu Hai taught him primarily focused on the use of knives and axes. In the courtyard, there is a large axe weighing sixty pounds, which was the weapon used by Zhu Hai when imparting his martial arts skills.
I believe that with the abilities of my uncle and nephew, along with my own foresight in history, I can certainly make a name for myself under Liu Bei's command
In the yard, there are two small houses, one to the south and one to the north
Liu Chuang smiled faintly at his reflection in the mirror, dried his hair, then styled it into a commoner's bun, securing it with a cloth headwrap.
As soon as Liu Chuang grasped the stick, he was taken aback.
Liu Chuang took a deep breath and stepped out of the room.
He stepped out of the hospital door and turned back, just as he was about to close the wooden gate
Although not conventionally handsome, he possesses a unique sense of kindness
Liu Chuang tidied his clothes once more, slipped on his wooden clogs, and was just about to head out when his gaze inadvertently fell upon an object placed in the corner of the room. It was a stick, approximately three meters long, quietly leaning against the corner of the house. The diameter of the stick was about 6 centimeters, just right for Liu Chuang to grasp in his hand. A strange feeling arose within him, prompting Liu Chuang to step forward and take the stick in his hand
On the ground, there is bedding laid out, and beside it stands a wooden stump that can be embraced by two people, serving as a table
After Zhu Hai left, Liu Chuang stood alone in the courtyard for a moment before stepping inside the house
The mysterious guiding technique, the astonishing power of the Dragon and Snake Nine Transformations, and this peculiar large stick
Liu Chuang took a hot bath in the wooden tub in the side room, and then changed into a clean robe, feeling refreshed as he stood in front of the bronze mirror to comb his hair
This is a truly authentic architectural layout from the Eastern Han Dynasty, exuding a strong sense of ancient simplicity. Liu Chuang walked barefoot onto the earthen platform and saw a set of clean clothes placed on a wooden post, which warmed his heart. Although Zhu Hai appeared to be rough and burly, he was, in fact, a person of great attention to detail. Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Liu Chuang removed the headscarf from his head and, looking at the somewhat blurred reflection in the mirror, suddenly smiled
The fifth day of the first month, the sun is shining brightly
What kind of techniques can be practiced with such a long stick
This should be the equipment he uses during his regular martial arts practice
The youth in the bronze mirror has a chubby round face
The initial tension of arriving in a different world has gradually faded over the past few days
Upon reaching this thought, Liu Chuang could not help but smile wryly to himself
It was a unique courtyard, with earthen walls that were not particularly high, reaching only to Liu Chuang's chest.
Since Liu Yong has created such a device, it must surely have its uses However, the timing is not right, which is why the truth has not been revealed to Liu Chuang
Quxian is located by the sea, and the air is humid
The clothes are placed on the couch, the water has been heated, and pomelo leaves have also been added
However, Liu Chuang did not feel fear as a result.
Furthermore, without clarifying who framed Liu Chuang, Zhu Hai's mind will inevitably remain unsettled. The occurrence of this incident was too sudden; had he not returned early, Liu Chuang might have encountered even more trouble. At least in the short term, it is unlikely that Liu Chuang will be released from prison. In a few days, Liu Yong will return, and if he learns that Liu Chuang has suffered injustice, that honest man will surely be filled with righteous anger.
Liu Chuang felt somewhat puzzled, but he still placed the large stick against the wall properly
Liu Chuang could not help but feel puzzled, as he truly could not recall having practiced any staff techniques
To the south stands a building consisting of two rooms, which is the residence of Liu Chuang and his uncle Liu Yong
