Chapter 4 Accidents
The first time he was beaten by the children in the village, everyone saw that the adults did not punish them, the children became more courageous, and they liked to bully him more for fun, and he became the target of bullying again.
Over the past year, he has often been bullied, and he is even more afraid of others, except for muttering a few words occasionally, he doesn't even dare to speak out loud, but today he was beaten even if he muttered.
After the crowd dispersed, he struggled to get up on his own, with blood on the corner of his mouth, a slap mark swollen on the left side of his face, and the child who was silently crying wiped away the blood and tears by himself, and staggered in the direction of home.
"I must become a monk. ”
The little boy who came home gritted his teeth and swore in a low voice, silently cooking a little porridge on the fire, he had to live, and the grievances and pain could only be swallowed in his stomach.
He didn't want to believe what those adults said, saying that he couldn't lead stars into his body, and he practiced his physical skills very well, Yuan Keding just teased him when he said that, that was deliberate, in fact, his movements were very standard.
His parents are both monks, and there is no reason why he can't do it, but to become a monk, he must go through the training of the three arts of the flesh, and only those who pass can become a monk.
The so-called three techniques are the beginner's physical training technique, the body quenching technique after the star is introduced into the body, and the foundation building technique that penetrates the meridians and breaks through the sea of qi.
Practicing the body is something that everyone can practice, but when it comes to the body quenching technique, there are about less than half of the people left, after all, not everyone can lead stars into the body.
But this is not to become a monk, you must complete the quenching and then build the foundation, can complete the foundation to become a monk, not everyone can penetrate the meridians of the whole body, and open up the sea of qi, only about one percent of people can succeed.
This is not one percent of everyone, but one percent of the body is completed, it can be seen that it is extremely difficult to become a monk, the young man is not unaware, but he is just unwilling.
Everyone must be trained in physical arts from an early age, this is the rule of this continent, no one dares to disobey, boys are sixteen years old, girls are not more than fourteen years old, they will be taken to the star altar to attract the stars into the body.
Only those who can attract the natal star can continue to cultivate, and there is the possibility of becoming a monk, and those who cannot be attracted can only be an ordinary person.
After breakfast, the little boy is going to work, although he is young, every family in the village will hand over some food to the village chief every little time and arrange for him, but after all, he can only live, and it is not enough to practice physical skills and cultivation.
Chen Ping'an is still young, and he can't do physical work, but he can dig wild vegetables around the village and catch some small fish and shrimp, of course, he doesn't have a fishing net, so he takes a dustpan to step on the water to catch fish, and he doesn't dare to run too far, just in the stream outside the village.
Chen Ping'an stepped on the stream outside the village until it reached his knees, and the thin boy did not dare to go to the center, but only fished in the water and grass near the shore.
The little boy with his bare back could see more clearly, his belly was bulging like a semi-circular ball, and it was a little difficult to even bend over, and the little boy stepped on the water with great difficulty, while inserting a dustpan into the water, and after a while, he lifted the dustpan to see.
The sun shone on his thin back, and beads of sweat seeped through his skin, pooled and dripped down his body into the stream, and the boy was so engrossed in fishing that he had no time to care about it.
When I was tired, I went ashore to rest for a while and then went into the water, and when I looked up at the sky and found that the sun was about to reach the middle of the sky, I muttered to myself: "I will call it a day when I come back again, and I will clean up the garbage in the village in the afternoon, so I can't come." ”
It turned out that he had to help adults clean up the garbage every day, and he couldn't move heavy things because of his small strength, but it was still okay to sweep the floor and burn the garbage, and it could be regarded as helping the village to get everyone's food.
After entering the water again, he stepped on the water hard, thinking that he could harvest a little fish and shrimp, but suddenly, his feet slipped, staggered to the side, instinctively threw away the things in his hand, and supported the bank of the stream with his hands.
"Ahh My dustpan. ”
The boy was in a hurry, this dustpan had cost him a day's food, and he chased after it flowing down the river without thinking.
The water in the stream was shallow, but there was still resistance, and the running was not as smooth as on the flat ground, but fortunately the water here was not fast, and it was not easy to catch up, and the little boy held the dustpan tightly, and the little boy's face showed a happy smile.
Raising his head and looking at the shore, he suddenly froze, and he chased the dustpan closely, and before he knew it, he ran far away, and he could no longer see where he put his clothes and bucket.
He began to feel scared, the old people in the village had always warned the children not to be too far away from the village, Baili Village seemed to be a hundred miles away from the 100,000 mountains, but for many wild beasts, a hundred miles was not a distance.
If it weren't for the villages close to the border wilderness, each of them had a guardian spirit pattern array, where could people live, but after all, this is a small mountain village, it is impossible to have too advanced formations, these portrayed spirit patterns, the power can only cover ten miles outside the village, beyond this cordon, you may encounter wild beasts at any time.
The Nine Realms of Monks, the Desolate Beasts are also of the ninth order, these spirit patterns cannot trap the high-level Desolate Beasts, but the desolate beasts of this grade will not attack the village at will, just like adults disdain to trample on ants, only bored children will tease ants to play.
"What to do... No, mine is running back. ”
The little boy looked around in horror, did not dare to go ashore, for fear of losing his way, and hurriedly ran back along the stream, panic and fatigue, so that he slipped after running a short distance, and he did not stabilize a stumbling position, and fell forward fiercely.
The whole person threw himself into the water, the stream was not deep, and it happened that a large raised pebble hit his stomach, and the huge pain made him scream and faint in pain.
The stream is shallow, but it can still float emaciated children and slowly flow into the distance.
I don't know how long it took for him to wake up, he opened his eyes blankly, and suddenly he was stunned, and he hurriedly sat up.
"Where is this? I think it's in the creek... By the way, it hurts so much when my stomach hits... It doesn't hurt at all now. ”
Thinking of this, he sobered up, hurriedly lifted the shabby quilt on his body, he was stunned, staring at his stomach and opening his mouth wide.
"This... This ... What's going on... Why is my big belly gone. ”
The big belly that has bothered him the most since he was a child is gone, there is no such bulging feeling of falling abdomen, and there is no such feeling of weakness, the big belly that used to be not only an ugly problem, but also like it will eat up his physical strength and make him thinner and thinner.
When he was in the family, he didn't feel obvious, that was because the Chen family was a big family, although he was a concubine, but the family didn't deduct him from the diet, and the sufficient food allowed him to cope with that kind of devouring.
"You're awake"
The door was pushed open, and an old woman with a cane came in, and when she saw him wake up, she asked gently.
