Chapter 11: Stones

On the fourteenth day of the first month, the sunny and good weather at the beginning of the year became cloudy on this day, after lunch, after resting for a while, Yu Huan took Chu Xiao across the road, along the Pingtian Lake Square, and the two embarked on a road around the lake.

In the first month of the year, the plum blossoms planted along the shore of the lake on both sides of the road begin to take the shape of buds. I have been walking through the reinforced concrete house for several days, and suddenly I am so close to nature, and I feel a sudden feeling in my heart at the beginning of the dawn.

On the right side of the road is an endless lake, while on the left, after passing through the villa area, there are mountains and forests as you look past the small lake of limited area. There is occasionally some new green hidden in the vigorous and old blue, and the fresh air and natural scenery make people feel relaxed and leisurely immediately.

After walking for more than a kilometer along the road, I saw a tall and verdant bamboo forest on both sides of the road at dawn. Although there is a sign in front of the bamboo forest that says "Do not dig up winter bamboo shoots", many people can still be seen holding snakeskin bags in their hands and shovels and shovels on their shoulders.

"There seem to be a lot of people, didn't you say there are no people?" Looking at the shallow part of the bamboo forest and the people who kept dragging a bag full of winter bamboo shoots, Chu Xiao suspected that there must be many people digging winter bamboo shoots in the forest.

"It's cloudy, the forest is deep and long, and there will be no one in the depths. "Yu Yan is very determined.

"Really?"

Chu Xiao suspiciously followed Yu Yan towards the bamboo forest in the north, along the way the bamboo branches and leaves covered the sky, and there was a feeling of dampness and coldness in the forest. After walking for nearly ten minutes, he hadn't even seen the other boundary of the forest in the direction of the vertical highway, and Chu Xiao couldn't help but feel that the bamboo forest in this area was really too big.

The deeper you go into the forest, the darker the light becomes, and the voices and digging sounds gradually become so small that you can't hear them.

"That's it. Looking in all directions, Yu Yan walked to an empty place, she turned around with a light smile, and then spread out her palms towards Chu Xiao.

"You want what I have in my bag...... It's okay," Chu Xiao looked like a smirk, she took off the canvas satchel from her shoulder, unzipped it open, and said with a serious expression: "But you have to take the money first......" Before she finished speaking, she was already busy reaching out to take out something in the bag, and it seemed that she was going to automatically hand over the contents of the bag to her in the next second, which should have been a playful joke, but she didn't take it seriously at all. I feel that she has a casual look, but she is very serious in front of business.

Before going out, Yu Yan asked Chu Xiao to help pack a bunch of stones in the bag, Chu Xiao asked Yu Yan with a puzzled and wry smile why she wanted to load so many stones, Yu Yan just told her that it had a wonderful use, so Chu Xiao obediently put it in the bag.

At the moment, for Chu Xiao's unserious joke of serious cooperation, Yu Yan slightly raised the corners of her lips, she took the stone, and then glanced at the ground roughly, and then she half-squatted down.

"Stand here and don't move. ”

Yu Yan said without raising her head, she stared at Chu Xiao's feet, as if she was thinking about something in her heart. Then she took six stones and arranged them in three rows on the ground at approximately equal intervals.

"I can't move, so can I speak?" Chu Xiao asked, because the whole person didn't dare to move, his appearance looked a lot stranger, and when he looked at Yu Yan, his eyes moved cautiously.

"Yes. After setting up the six stones, Yu Yan got up while answering, she took Chu Xiao's feet as a fixed point, walked to the other side of the pile of stones and Chu Xiao's feet in a straight direction, and then squatted down and placed six stones on the ground.

Then, she looked at Chu Xiao's feet, as if looking for some angle, and at a forty-five degree angle or so close to the pile of stones at hand, she placed six more stones, and then she placed three more piles of stones in a similar way, and then she ran to the first pile of stones, and according to the method of the extension line, she placed the other three piles of stones in the same line as Chu Xiao's feet, so that there were a total of eight piles of stones on the ground.

"Are you putting up a formation?"

Afraid of disturbing Yu Huan before, Chu Xiao held back his curiosity and didn't dare to speak, just silently froze in place, raising his head and chest and taking a deep breath to pass the time. At this moment, seeing that Yu Yan had already stood up and was patting the dust on his hands, Chu Xiao hurriedly asked.

"What do you think it looks like?" Yu Yan didn't answer directly, but just motioned to Chu Xiao to look at the stones that were surrounded by her feet.

"Like what?"

Chu Xiao immediately walked out of the stone circle, she looked carefully, and saw that the eight piles of stones were about forty-five degrees between each other, and each pile of stones was made up of six stones divided into three rows and arranged in two, and the placement of two stones in each row was divided into two types: connected together and disconnected and flat.

Lines immediately appeared in front of him, and Chu Xiao found that these stones placed together seemed to form a short solid line, and the two stones that were disconnected and placed seemed to form a dotted line.

There is no need to look closely at how the "solid lines" and "dotted lines" of each pile of stones are arranged, because this pattern is so classic, and Chu Xiao blurted out in a trance: "Bagua diagram?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there any use in putting this gossip diagram? Could this be the gossip array?" Chu Xiao wondered.

"Later, you'll practice walking in this pile of stones. ”

"Practicing in this circle? You have to take steps in this circle, right?"

"The basic exercises are like this. ”

"Oh, how should Huabu go?"

Yu Yan pointed to the position where Chu Xiao was standing before, and Chu Xiao immediately reacted and hurriedly stood back.

"Draw an S line on the ground with your right foot, and draw a reverse S line with your left foot. Yu Yan said as she slowed down the movement of her feet.

"Well, then?" Chu Xiao listened and did it synchronously under her feet, and she waited for Yu Xi to say her next move.

"No, after that, it's just a matter of repeating the line. Yu Yan looked calm and relaxed.

"No, it's that simple?" Furrowing his brows, Chu Xiao's whole person was a little skeptical that he had heard it wrong.

"Simple?" After a little thought, Yu Yan nodded with a smile and said "um" in affirmation, his expression seemed to be very satisfied with Chu Xiao's receptivity, but for some reason, it made people feel that there was an indescribable sense of deep meaning.

"That'...... Then why do you have to come here? Put up a gossip map, can't you learn this in the room? This, don't pick the time, I'll just finish it......

The smile on his lips reflected a kind of reluctance in his eyes, and Chu Xiao felt as if he had been deceived.
