Chapter 24: Ranged Attacks
Although I have been an orphan since I was a child, I have also been alone in Lizhou City, and I have encountered countless difficulties and obstacles.
But in front of this...
It's so hard, it's not easy at all!
The first is this father-son lake, which is five kilometers away. On this hot day, it is difficult to hold on to the 10-kilometer round trip with two empty barrels, let alone two full barrels.
If you do the math, fifty barrels is twenty-five round-trips, and twenty-five round-trips are two hundred and fifty kilometers of road.
Two hundred and fifty kilometers of road...
I may not have walked 250 kilometers in my life until now.
I can only grit my teeth, for myself, but also for Wang Qing and Mengli.
When I picked the second round-trip, I was already exhausted, and I cautiously said to the fat third master: "Master, can you use up these four buckets of water first, and it won't be too late for me to pick it again." ”
"Bastard!" the fat third master immediately blew his beard and glared, "Do you kid think I want you to carry water for your own use?"
Of course, I know that he is not to use it himself, I really can't provoke it, so I was lucky and desperate to ask, this is like buying scratch tickets, scratching out the first "thanks" word actually already knows the answer, but people generally scrape it all before they die.
I didn't stop carrying water for a moment, and the fat third master didn't sleep all the time, staring at me like this.
At night, I felt tormented even when I stepped on my legs, and the muscles of my whole body were burning, and it felt like countless people were tearing me from all sides, and I lay on the haystack and refused to move again.
The fat third master skillfully paddled his wheelchair and swept over my head: "What's the matter? No, I'll calculate, 12345...... It's only twenty-two buckets of water, and half of it hasn't reached it, so why are you so tired?"
"Master, I really can't do it anymore, my whole body is like being bitten by a centipede during the day, and I can't move. "Speaking has also become a problem for me.
The fat third master smiled: "Okay, you're good, do you know how many buckets of water I picked up when I first received this training?"
I didn't speak, I didn't move, I lay on the haystack like a corpse.
He continued to tell his story to himself: "I picked half a bucket the first time. ”
I raised my head and looked at the fat third master, making sure that he was talking to me seriously and not lying to me.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the fat third master changed his tone again, and said to me in a serious tone: "Wu Le, your kid's body can be fierce, don't be like me." Alright, you can rest, and continue to pick up the water tomorrow. ”
After saying that, he turned and went into the house, still leaving me alone outside the house, which was still here in the summer, and if it was winter, I would surely freeze to death outside.
This night, I no longer had the energy to think cranky, and I slept until dawn.
The next morning, just after dawn, I was still sore but I still got up because I had to pick up the rest of the water before the temperature got hot.
There are still injuries on the shoulders, injuries on the feet, and the muscles in the whole body are still roaring about to melt, but after yesterday's twenty-two buckets of water, today seems to be a little easier than yesterday, and the speed is much faster.
When I picked up the fortieth bucket of water and was just about to unload the flat burden, the fat third master in the door came out, and he carried a frizzy fruit in his hand and threw it to me: "Eat it, it's not poisonous." ”
The tone of the fat third master, as if "no poison" has become the biggest guarantee he gave me. Anyway, since I came here, I seem to have forgotten about eating, and I've been busy being bitten by centipedes and carrying water, and my stomach hasn't signaled, and if he hadn't given me this thing, I wouldn't have remembered to eat.
I peeled this frizzy little thing by dividing it by two, and there was not much flesh left, and there was no fragrance, so I hurriedly sent it to my mouth.
Wow! What is this? Why is it so astringent? This thing is like a combination of an unripe banana and an unripe kiwi when you bite into it, and it is hard and astringent.
"Phew~ Master, are you sure this thing can be eaten, it's astringent to death!" I quickly spit out the thing in my mouth.
The fat third master smiled: "Hehe, the astringent taste is right, the more astringent the taste, the more you can get rid of the hunger in your stomach." ”
I felt like I was being tricked: "What do you usually eat, have you always made a living by eating such unpalatable things......?"
Before I finished speaking, I saw the fat third master flexibly pull out a roasted oily whole chicken from behind, and he also deliberately made a fragrant action: "Eh, it's so fragrant! I forgot to tell you, on this decadent mountain, in addition to Shuangmeng centipedes, there are many, many pheasants, Shuangmeng centipedes are difficult to find, because there are too many pheasants, so you don't have to worry about what I eat, hurry up and fetch water." ”
I picked up the bucket in indignation, and I swore that if I accepted anything from this man again, I would be a fool.
Fifty buckets of water were finally picked, it was just afternoon, it seemed that the efficiency was a little higher than yesterday, I looked at the fifty buckets of water in the small courtyard in front of the house, and a sense of accomplishment arose.
The fat third master slowly pushed himself over, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well~ Yes, there is a bit of stupidity." ”
I secretly glanced at him in my heart, what kind of stupid strength is this, this is obviously a coincidence.
Then the two of us went to the darkroom again, and the fat third master said to me, "Now, you are stabbing me in the middle of the four-man hole of the humanoid wooden rake!
The fat third master couldn't help but stuff a flying knife into my hand, and I was nervous by his hurried tone, but I can't feel the weight of this flying knife now, thanks to the results of carrying a bucket in the past two days, this flying knife is really a weight lifting in my hand now.
With a whoosh, the flying knife flew out of my hand, and in this dark and lightless room, Teacher Fat San and I could clearly see the flight trajectory of the flying knife, and after a light sound of wood breaking, the flying knife was firmly rooted in the four holes of the humanoid wooden rake in the middle.
I froze, looked at my hands, oh my God, is this still me? I can hit such a small target with such a single blow from such a distance.
The fat third master stroked his beard and smiled at me with satisfaction: "How about it, follow Lao Tzu to learn tricks, do you suffer?"
My head shook like a rattle, this kind of long-range physical attack is the dream skill of all boys, from the slingshot when I was a child to the fight to become a pilot when I grew up, the path of boys' growth is the pursuit of long-range physical attack.
I excitedly held the hand of the fat third master and jumped up happily, but he cried out in pain.
Oh! I forgot, I still have gloves with a thousand-year-old silver cold needle in my hand, damn it! I must have pierced the fat third master now.
But the fat third master seemed to quickly forget the pain, and he hurriedly picked up my hands and carefully examined the gloves.
"How do you have these gloves?"
