The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

After lunch, the two brothers slowly returned to the house to take a short rest. Su Lun had been in this world for nearly half a month, but today was only the second time he had tasted meat.

The family did raise a few chickens, but they were precious eggs and could not be easily slaughtered to fill their stomachs. Thinking of the pheasant that had escaped by chance today, Su Lun could not help smacking his lips: "No! I don't believe that I can't master this bow and arrow. I must practice more." He secretly encouraged himself.

When it got a little darker and the sun outside was no longer so scorching, Su Lun could not wait to go to the yard. He made a simple archery target and then began to practice on his own.

"Alan, your body is too tense, relax a little! Lean forward a little so you can keep your balance better. Also, don't pull the bowstring too much, or it will break easily."

Su Zheng's gentle and encouraging voice came from behind. After hearing it, Su Lun immediately adjusted his posture nervously and took a deep breath. Then, he pulled the bowstring hard and aimed the arrow at the target.

"Shua!" As the arrow flew out of the bowstring, it finally hit the target this time! Although it didn't hit the bull's eye, it finally didn't miss. With Su Zheng's careful teaching, Su Lun's shooting skills gradually improved, and he could occasionally hit one or two out of a dozen arrows.

However, Su Lun couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and discouraged. After all, such results were really unsatisfactory, and he was even a little embarrassed to show them to others. And Su Zheng didn't seem to show too much regret or dissatisfaction about all this. He gently patted Su Lun's shoulder and said, "Alun, you don't have to be too sad. After all, you are a scholar, and it doesn't matter if your archery skills are not superb."

Su Lun knew very well that his elder brother had always hoped that he could return to his studies and pass the imperial examinations in the future to bring honor to the family. Moreover, his elder brother actually did not quite approve of his learning martial arts and archery. But because he loved him and loved him, he did not explicitly express his opposition. Su Lun was worried that his elder brother would urge him to go back to his room to study and write again, so he pretended to be well-behaved and obedient, saying that he would listen to his elder brother. After packing up all his belongings, he turned around and went back to take a bath and rest.

But in fact, Su Lun had secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to continue practicing archery skills quietly.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the room, and Su Lun was awakened by his biological clock as usual. He rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and stretched. Looking around, he found that Su Zheng was not at home.

"Did my brother go to the vegetable garden?" Su Lun thought to himself, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He got up, dressed, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. However, when he opened the lid of the pot, he was surprised to find a pot of steaming porridge inside, with a dish of pickles next to it.

"It seems that my elder brother got up early to cook it." Su Lun thought to himself. Just then his stomach started to growl, so he could not wait to fill a bowl of porridge and eat it. This bowl of porridge was sweet and delicious, which made Su Lun feel very satisfied.

After breakfast, Su Lun started to clean the house. He first tidied the living room, then wiped the doors, windows, tables and chairs. After finishing these chores, Su Lun felt refreshed and decided to go out for morning exercise.

An hour and a half later, Su Lun finished his morning exercise and returned home. But strangely, Su Zheng still hadn't come back. Su Lun couldn't help but wonder, "What on earth did my brother have to go out for so long?"

With this question in mind, Su Lun returned to the house and tried to find some clues. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the table, where a piece of paper was placed. Su Lun walked over quickly, picked up the paper and saw that it said: "Alan, my brother is going to the town to do some work and will be back before sunset."

Seeing this line of words, Su Lun's uneasiness was slightly relieved. He knew that his elder brother had always been steady and reliable. Since he left a note, it meant that there wouldn't be any big problems. So, Su Lun decided to wait for Su Zheng to return.

Although Su Lun was curious about why his elder brother was away for so long, he did not think deeply about it. While his elder brother was away, he happily took out the tools from yesterday and practiced archery with great interest. Hard work pays off. Su Lun gradually mastered the essentials and his hit rate gradually increased to 30% to 40%. Such rapid progress can be called amazing. He could not help but smile and thought to himself: It seems that I do have some talent!

At this time, Su Zheng was in the only private school in the town. In today's society, most families cannot afford to study, but the economy of Luoyun Town where they were located was relatively affluent, so private schools appeared. The two neighboring towns did not have such conditions! Although the scale of this private school was not as large as that of the academy, it was also qualified to participate in the imperial examination. There was only one teacher in the private school, whose surname was Qin, and he was an old friend of Su's father.

Su Zheng brought some gifts to visit Mr. Qin, hoping that he would accept his brother into the new semester two months later. After a brief exchange of greetings, Mr. Qin looked at Su Zheng and said, "I have heard about your brother's story. Your brother has recovered now. Brother Su's spirit can rest in peace!" Su Zheng responded, "What you said is very true. It has always been our family's wish that Allen could recover his sanity. Now that the wish has been fulfilled, my father, mother and I have no regrets. This time, I came here to ask for a favor."

"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it." Mr. Qin replied.

"Mr. Qin, Allen is very talented and has been far superior to ordinary people since he was young. I beg you to accept Allen as a student and let him study in the school."

"It's not difficult. You just need to prepare the tuition and let him register at the private school after the term starts. Do you have any other unspeakable difficulties that brought you here specially this time?" "Sir, I plan to enlist in the army. After I leave, Allen will be the only one left at home. I hope you can take good care of Allen."

"This is simply nonsense! You are unable to move around easily now, yet you still dream of joining the army!" Mr. Qin shouted angrily.

"Sir, I had no choice. Allen has shown amazing talent since he was young, and everyone has high hopes for him. As for me, I'm afraid my leg will never recover. Have you ever seen a disabled person taking the imperial examination? Besides, Allen has recovered now, and someone in the family must serve in the military. Who can disobey? Serving in the military is the only thing I can do for Allen right now!" Su Zheng bowed.

"Well, since your brother is coming to school, I will take good care of him for your sake." Mr. Qin nodded in response. The two chatted for a while, and Su Zheng stood up and said goodbye.

Su Zheng came to the bookstore and carefully selected a new set of paper, ink, brush and inkstone. Then he went to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities and rushed back home before sunset.
