New Day, New Way

The day has just begun, the sun has risen indicating that it is morning time, but in the Wu tribe village, the morning sun is only an eternal illusion because of the high mountains that cover the Wu tribe village from the sun in the morning, this condition really makes the morning feel dawn.

Not much different from other situations, the air was still so cold, and the fog still filled the Wu tribe village without any significant sign of disappearance.

Wu Liang is now still fast asleep in his bed, he seems to be dreaming so beautifully that he forgot his plan to train with Ao Nan who was guided by the hunting lodge uncle, after all for the Wu tribe, making plans means making a reality and reality is destiny, and that destiny must happen.

Wu Liang's face was completely disheveled with random black hair, even he was lying in a pose like a knight riding his battle horse, fortunately he did not salivate while sleeping even though his mouth was open, let alone let out a loud snore.

"Wu Liang, wake up, Wu Liang!"

Shan Yu's voice was clearly heard throughout the house, calling Wu Liang from the direction of the living room.

"Wu Liang wake up or you'll miss your training"

Unfortunately right now Wu Liang was still sleeping peacefully on his bed, and unaware of his sister's call, Shan Yu walked into Wu Liang's room and shook Wu Liang's body which was half covered by a fleece blanket.

"hey brother wake up"

Shan Yu continued to shake Wu Liang's body, and a moment later Wu Liang slightly resisted his brother's movements, Wu Liang wanted to open his eyes but the sleepy fairy seemed to have sprinkled sleeping powder on him.

"Do you want Ao Nan to come and wake you up"

Shan Yu then stopped shaking Wu Liang's semi-conscious body, then Shan Yu pulled Wu Liang's fleece-filled cloth pillow, and he covered Wu Liang's face with it, instantly making Wu Liang startled.

"aa'aaa' aaa'ooo' (big sister don't! Please)"

Shan Yu pulled back the pillow and put it next to Wu Liang's head, Wu Liang woke up wide-eyed because who wouldn't be shocked if he was sleeping and he was woken up like he was about to be killed.

"You want to kill me sis?"

"That's not it, big brother has woken you up from earlier, let's get up and meet Ao Nan, uncle Ge Wuan has been out of his house for a long time, and it is likely that other uncles have also left."

"Alright sis, but don't you ever do that method again, you're not like my sister that i know"

"You've grown up, it's impossible to keep waking up late."

"Yes also, I'm getting ready first"

"Eat the bread, I have also prepared the honey bowl and milk, after you finish, please clean it up again"

Along with Wu Liang getting ready, Shan Yu left the house to go to Huang Xie's aunt's house, today she and aunt need to make a lot of bread for tomorrow.

Wu Liang came out through the back door of his house, he then washed his face using the ordinary drinking water that his sister kept in a small round wooden barrel in the corner of his house, right beside him was a pile of dirty plates and bowls.

"brrr, cold huffttt"

cloudy air came out from Wu Liang's breath, this cold air mixed with damp really made him shudder and shiver a little, even though the sun had actually risen in his place but in the Wu tribe village it would happen very late.

Wu Liang went back in and closed the wooden water barrel he had used.

The Wu tribe utilizes all natural resources as an alternative to various tools that are common among outsiders, for example this wooden water barrel, this barrel is just a large pine tree trunk that is cut to the appropriate length, then shaved to remove the bark and inner skin layer, leaving the middle layer and core, this layer is mold-resistant and used by the Wu tribe as a home tool for generations.

Wu Liang sat in his chair, eating the bread and bowl of honey in front of him, occasionally poking the honey with the bread, for him it was more enjoyable to eat in private, but still, the sensation of eating porridge with family was more valuable.

His mouth ravenously ate every piece of bread, he realized he couldn't finish the whole bread, so he only took half of the 7 loaves and now left 6 half loaves, although half he took but this half portion was large and could make him full until noon.

"Where did grandpa go, sister didn't tell me either, will it go well? hemm"

Wu Liang thought randomly while eating the last portion of his share, and a few moments later he finished finishing his portion of food putting the dirty plate and bowl he used just now in the back corner of the house.

Wu Liang once again washed his mouth after eating and returned to his room to retrieve the Wu tribe's bonding rope, Wu Liang's rope was light blue with a small crescent-shaped wooden ornament placed in the center of the forehead.

He walked out of his house, stood right in front of the door of his house while stretching his muscles and joints, his head was rocked right and left, then turned around, his body parts also turned and his hands were turned to paddle forward and then turned backward, then jumped a little on the spot while kicking his feet.

To his right was the road leading to Ge Wuan's uncle's house which was at the end of only a few dozen steps, in front of him a mound of earthen stones and weeds, then to his left was the road leading to Ao Nan's place, passing through the center field of the Wu tribe's village, then the road westward from there passed another array of Wu tribe houses.

***

The sun was now slightly revealing itself from behind the mountains where the Wu tribe lived.

On the grassland not far from the farm and adjacent to the wheat farm, there were several training dolls arranged neatly and Ao Nan and his father were also seen together.

"Ao Nan, sorry I can't teach you and Wu Liang today"

"Why dad, didn't you promise to teach us last night?"

"The decision of the meeting hall elders asked to keep an eye on the inner forest, this is also for the sake of your cousin Wu Jin Fei to return safely"

"Can't you teach me for a while?"

"I can't, uncle Ge Wuan will replace me, take it easy, before it gets dark, I will definitely be back"

"Alright, Dad be careful"

"Tell your mom to come back early"

"I will definitely tell her in the afternoon"

Uncle Wu Ao Qi walked quickly after the other hunting uncles, while turning slightly and giving Ao Nan a right thumbs up, creating a heroic and cool impression of a father who went to fulfill his duty.

Ao Nan saw his father enter the first forest from a distance, and as time passed his father's silhouette disappeared and his shadow blended into the shadow of the first layer of border forest.

It was clear in Ao Nan's mind now that he would have to work harder and have enough ability to join his father as part of the hunting lodge and perform greater tasks than his usual daily duties.

In this field, Ao Nan was alone, under a large humpback tree with dense leaves in the center of this field Ao Nan practiced spinning the wooden spear quickly, then changing the ready position to the stabbing position, then changing the position of the horse's legs.

Repeating and repeating using the spear that the Wu tribe used for hunting, not just an ordinary practicing spear.

After a while of practicing, Wu Liang came over.

"How is it? Why are you alone? Where is uncle Ao Qi?"

"huft huft huft huft, huhh, my father left because of an assignment from the Hall of Elders meeting, he said they were asked to watch the border forest in there"

"So are we going to practice?"

"Yes, we will still practice, Uncle Ge Wuan will teach us."

"I never thought about this, uncle Ge Wuan takes care of livestock, is he good at using spears?"

"Hey, don't talk so loudly, you're being very condescending to Uncle Ge Wuan."

"Even so maybe what he taught is not comparable to your father"

"yes yes yes I agree, but still we can't do that, hey I heard a rumor that uncle Ge Wuan secretly practiced early in the morning"

"Alright I believe you"

"Wow so fast, I thought you would be a little resistant"

"There's no point in me refusing, it's better to ask the person to teach us directly so that we can know clearly"

"You're right, now you better follow the movement first, take that spear over there"

Ao Nan pointed to a slightly rough-textured spear leaning against a tree, Wu Liang then picked it up and did a practice ready position behind Ao Nan.

The two of them practiced spinning the wooden spear quickly, then changed positions into an attacking position, and then learned how to quickly change the position of the horse horse when attacking, and occasionally Wu Liang almost hit Ao Nan when making movements.

"hey be careful, you are switching your legs too wide, as a result your reach is too wide and your swing is fast, but your body is unable to keep up and the foundation of your horse is fragile."

"Alright I get it, you're great at understanding this too"

"It's obvious hahaha"

"Better continue"

They both repeated their movements, Ao Nan repeated his movements with the aim of sharpening his movements and refining each position transition, while Wu Liang practiced so that his horse was sturdy.

In the distance, Uncle Ge Wuan walked through the path between the farm and the farmland towards Ao Nan and Wu Liang, carrying his hand-circle-sized wooden spear on his right shoulder, while walking coolly with a bite of dried wheat grass in the corner of his mouth.

"Looks like you guys are ready to be trained, so who wants to be taught the real method of spearing first?"
