31. Space
Chapter 31:
Nine verdant bamboo needles are arranged into a green arrow and quickly cut through the bamboo forest, leaving thin holes on the bamboo pipes regardless of size and thickness. Some of them can't even be seen if you don't look closely.
The arrow continued to speed forward, cutting through the bamboo leaves and across the grass. After a circle, he returned to the original point, and suddenly transformed into the shape of a scimitar, the scimitar was extremely sharp, and the rows of bamboo fell like dominoes under his power.
The fallen bamboo startled the golden pheasant hiding in the grass of the bamboo forest to feed. It's a pity that the golden pheasants that flutter their wings and fly high have not been able to run the bamboo needles, even if their smart four fans have opened and flew, it is best to be three bamboo needles, directly โกโก their heads, and they fell to the ground.
There were only a few small "gur......gling" sounds in his mouth at the end.
Zhang Jin didn't have the ability to use it several times in the end, and after killing three pheasants in a row, the other bamboo needles also fell into the grass one after another because of the inability to follow.
"Alas!" Although there has been a harvest, such a performance is not satisfactory to Zhang Jin.
After a whole afternoon of practice, even with the guidance of many pictures in his mind, he could basically use the True Qi to control the direction of the silver needle. Doing meticulous work or something with true qi is as powerless as it is now.
Looking up at the sky, the light in the bamboo forest was already very dim, and the sun had already set in the west. He knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and if he delayed any longer, he estimated that when he went out in a while, he would not be able to see the road when he looked for Dad Zhang and them to carry firewood.
A few jumps picked up the bamboo needles that did not shoot at the pheasant, and came to the place where the pheasant fell, bent down to pick up the three golden pheasants on the ground, and pulled out the bamboo needles inserted in the golden pheasant by the way, and then left the bamboo forest.
Carrying three pheasants, which were obviously not lightweight, Zhang Jin jumped to the place where he had stacked firewood, and at the same time took out half of the hare and a rabbit that had not been skinned from the space.
Fortunately, he did so, because before he arrived at his destination, he heard the voices of Zhang's father, Zhang Boss and Zhang Laosan from a distance.
"Dad, did you say that the second brother went to hunt rabbits?" In the quiet mountain forest, because there are only a few people moving, the sound is particularly far away.
"Third child, hurry up, don't be lazy again. I've moved it three times, why haven't you moved this second time? โ
Dad Zhang didn't seem to want to pay attention to his flamboyant and lazy little son, and it took a while before he said in a panting voice: "Why didn't you see it when you named it, how do you know how to eat?" โ
"Haha!" Boss Zhang laughed unceremoniously.
"What's wrong with eating? Aren't people born to eat? Zhang Laosan said it was reasonable, and by the way, he also hummed his brother and said, "Big brother, what are you laughing at, don't you eat?" โ
"I eat, but I also work, unlike you, just eat and don't do it! If you don't work, do you know what it is? It's a pig! Ha ha! โ
"You ......"
"Okay, you two! Don't just stand there talking and don't do anything. Dad Zhang was angry, "Hurry up and work for me, do you want to eat if you don't work?" If you can't move this firewood back, I'll ask your grandfather not to cut the meat for your kid from tomorrow. โ
"Hmmm! Dad, aren't I doing it, who said I didn't do it. said so, but Zhang Wenhao muttered in his heart, "Stinky second brother, why are you so diligent, you will die if you cut less firewood!" So much, so much, so much! When will I finish moving? โ
There are many trees on this side of Nanshan, and the road is also uneven, not to mention the walk-behind tractor, even the wooden cart cannot be pulled in. Dad Zhang, they wanted to transport the timber out, but in addition to dragging it with oxen in front, they carried it on their shoulders.
One trip after another, even if they were familiar with Nanshan and could find the fastest way out of the mountain, when Zhang Jin came out, there was still a small half of it that had not been carried out.
Zhang Jin remembered what Grandpa Zhang gave to him when he went out, and before his old man was notified, no one was allowed to say anything about his cultivation of true qi, including his parents and brothers at home.
Zhang Jin cut down the trees, and originally thought of using the space to carry some distance outside, but when he thought of his grandfather's 'wood show in the forest', he finally gave up.
Still, he piled the pile of timber that he had painstakingly chopped in a conspicuous and easy to carry place.
"Second brother!" Zhang Wenhao had just tied a bundle of artemisia grass with a straw rope and was about to drag it out, when he heard a voice from behind him, and thought it was a wild boar or something, so he quickly turned back in horror, but when he looked back, it was actually his second brother.
However, none of this mattered, for him, the most important thing was that his second brother carried three large pheasants and a hare.
Seeing this scene, where did Zhang Wenhao still care about the firewood on the ground, as soon as the rope was lost, he greeted it with open hands non-stop.
When Zhang Junbao heard his younger brother's voice, he was bowing his head and tying two pine trunks together, he was already an adult, and this heavy work was nothing to him, a young man who liked to work with his father since he was a child.
It's just that he didn't expect that his younger brother actually hit the pheasant and the hare.
"Oops! You can do it! Zhang Junbao's eyes were also shining, in the morning I heard the second child say that his grandfather was going to buy meat tomorrow, and Zhang's father would not let Zhang's mother kill chickens for them at noon. For a young man who has just become an adult and is still a child psychologically, it is impossible not to be hungry for meat, that is to eat meat all at once. It's a pity that the family doesn't have that condition. Even if he went home and did heavy work, as the eldest son in the family, he didn't dare to ask for good food.
Now that he saw his brother hunting hares and pheasants in the mountains, he knew in his heart that even if he didn't allow him tonight, his grandfather would give them chickens and rabbits to eat no matter how late they were.
Zhang Jin took the opportunity to hand the pheasant and rabbit in his hand to the enthusiastic and dog-legged Zhang Laosan, and when he was about to walk in front of Zhang Junbao, he took out half of the uneaten hare in the small basket made of bamboo in the afternoon.
"Wow!" As soon as Zhang Wenhao saw Zhang Jin open the rabbit meat wrapped in bamboo leaves, he didn't want the dead chicken and rabbit in his hand, so he surrounded him in three steps and two steps.
"Don't rob it." Zhang Jin opened Zhang Wenhao's hand, "I'll divide it." "None of the three brothers knows who, if he hands the rabbit meat to the younger brother now, it is estimated that his father will turn around for a while, and he won't even be able to eat a bite, "I only ate one-third at noon, you eat a front leg and half a piece of meat, and the eldest brother and father share the other half." โ
Although Zhang Wenhao is very greedy for the hind legs of rabbits, but the rabbits were beaten by the second brother, and the second brother is more filial to his parents than the eldest brother, if he dares to object, it is estimated that he will not even be able to eat the bones. So he nodded reluctantly. The rabbit in autumn is very fat, Zhang Jin just ate a rabbit thigh at noon, and the remaining half of the meat alone is at least more than a catty.
Zhang's father had just picked up firewood to the wooden cart on the valley, and when he came back, he didn't meet his eldest son and younger son, and thought something was wrong, but when he got there, he found that they were eating meat. Don't mention that mood!
"Dad, I gave you a back leg." Zhang Wenhao grinned, and seemed to hand over the rest of the rabbit meat.
Father Zhang was busy all afternoon and came to carry firewood, and no matter how iron he was, he couldn't stand it. Otherwise, Zhang Jin would not have heard him panting before.
At this time, there is a reason not to eat meat, and when I was eating, I saw at least four or five catties of rabbits thrown on the ground, and pheasants that added up to at least a dozen catties, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but be happy.
The children are not at home, and they don't see meat once in ten days and half a month. For Zhang's father, who is an adult, this is nothing, but this month is a busy farm, even if there are eggs every day, it is greedy!
At noon today, I was going to kill chickens for the children to eat, but the second child was going up the mountain to chop firewood, so it was better to eat when the children arrived than to kill the second child.
This may also be the so-called equality of parents when they have many children!
The father and son ate the meat, which can be regarded as adding oil, plus Zhang Jin, the remaining firewood, the father and son carried it all at once!
A cart of firewood, out of the mountain pass, was directly transported to the tractor, and then Zhang Jin made pine hair and wattle strips. It's basically full, too.
Zhang Laosan carried the pheasant and hare and sat on the roof of the car to escort Zhang's father, and Zhang Boss and Zhang Jin could only pull the wooden cart and slowly walked back.
The fields that have been harvested and planted are especially lonely and calm when the sun sets.
The walk-behind tractors are far away, and the sound of 'da-da' can be heard, and in the flat land of two or three hundred acres, Zhang Jin and Zhang Junbao feel that they are walking farther and farther. In the end, the brother simply pulled it alone for a while.
When Zhang Jin and Zhang Junbao arrived home, the sun had completely set, night had fallen, and the village was filled with the smell of rice. The hare and pheasant were stewed in the kitchen of Zhang's grandfather's house by Zhang's mother.
Zhang's mother put a lot of spring and summer mushrooms and potatoes in the pheasant, although everyone doesn't seem to like to eat fried potatoes very much, but they still like the meat very much. I put a lot of green peppers and yams in the rabbit meat. After making it, it was really full of two cauldrons.
After the dish was ready, Grandpa Zhang made the decision and asked Zhang Junbao and Zhang Jin to send a pot to their uncle and uncle's family. After all, these two days are monthly holidays, the children are at home, and it is time to plant wheat in a hurry, so it is estimated that the two families have no time to cut meat on the street to eat.
Zhang Wenhao has a great opinion on this, he thinks that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang's family can't remember them every time they eat meat, and the cousin and cousin always like to show off what their family eats, why don't they keep it for themselves when they have meat, and give it to each other?
This problem can't be explained to Zhang Wenhao, and it is even more impossible to let him deliver meat. Even if they went, it is estimated that when the people arrived, the meat in the basin was stolen and eaten.
Even so, the last two pots of meat were not eaten, and even the best was eaten, and even Zhang Wenhao was complaining that the rabbit meat and muscles were too fat! He's tired of eating!
However, most of the uneaten meat was finally packed and taken away by Zhang Wenhao. He has always been like this, he didn't say anything about being embarrassed and thrown home, and his face was very thick-skinned, and the Zhang family knew about it, so he didn't say anything.
Today, I was delayed by chopping firewood, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening after dinner. Grandpa Zhang had some wine with Grandpa Zhang and Dad Zhang at night. I don't want to stay up tonight. So the grandparents took a simple hot bath and went to bed separately.
Zhang Jin took this medical technique and wanted to see it before sleeping, but when he was lying on the bed, his eyes began to fight, and finally he fell asleep somehow. Obviously he didn't feel tired during the day?
It's just that he didn't sleep until the next morning, and in the middle of the night, he was woken up by his grandfather's diligent rooster.
When I took out my watch from under the pillow in the dark, it was just over one o'clock in the morning.
I wanted to sleep again, but my head was unusually awake, and it was obviously difficult to fall asleep again.
Three watches in the middle of the night are not suitable for reading. And in the quiet night, it is the time when the mind is easy to be active, thinking of the adventure of cultivating his true qi last night, Zhang Jin suddenly felt a little unreal, otherwise he could still feel the vigorous true qi in his body at this time, he would really think that yesterday's qiฤ was just a dream.
Suddenly, Zhang Jin remembered the space hidden in him again. I remember that in the morning, when I was really angry, the picture in my mind told him that since yesterday morning, he can enter and exit the space without any scruples.
When he was outside during the day, he never dared or wanted to go in. Now......
Zhang Jin lay on the bed and was silent for a while, all kinds of entanglements in his mind, all kinds of persuasion to go in and have a look, or intimidate himself, there were demons and monsters waiting for him......
In short, Zhang Jin was really hesitant about whether or not to enter the space. In the final analysis, even if he is now 'an artist who is bold', he is still an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is afraid of ghosts.
When I was hesitating, I suddenly had the urge to pee, so I simply got up and went out to pee. When he returned, the ghost had locked his bedroom behind him. However, after doing this qiฤ, he honestly lay back on the bed.
Well? Why do you suddenly smell like an apple? After hesitating, Zhang Jin suddenly smelled a very strong fruit fragrance, and suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was no longer the dark room he thought, but an orchard surrounded by apple trees.
