Chapter 6: Day 1 (Part I)
Huo Chen hurried back to where he lived, and hurriedly opened the space ring and studied it carefully. This spatial ring is a mess of all sorts of items. Through Huo Chen's careful sorting and classification, he found that there were still a lot of things in this ring. There are more than 20 brocade boxes of all sizes exuding a magical atmosphere, and when they are opened, they are found to be high-grade magic crystals of various departments; There are more than a dozen books of different thicknesses, and Huo Chen didn't check them one by one, but just sorted them together; There is still a tree growing, the fluttering branches exude bursts of natural magic, and there is a spring water under the tree, which is crystal clear; A variety of rare herbs around the tree are also close to maturity.
This is really a good thing, if the things in it are taken to any auction house on the mainland, they can get a huge amount of wealth, of course, Huo Chen can't sell it if he wants to, he is only five years old, and he is still staying in Zhuge Village, and he has not traveled to the mainland.
In the end, Huo Chen also found a simple-bound book in a corner, which was not famous. Huo Chen hurriedly took out the book and read it carefully.
It turns out that this space ring has a name, called Hongxi Ring, and the space of Hongxi Ring is also real, it is Huo Yan who uses the power of the Supreme Law to extract a space from the real world, and then obtains it through forging and enchantment, and the space inside is the same as the real world.
Before he knew it, it would be dark, and if Lan Lan hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have even forgotten to eat dinner. Huo Chen put away the manual and followed Lan Lan to her house for dinner.
"Brother Chen, what did grandpa do with you in the afternoon, didn't you come to play with me?" Lan Lan was a little upset that she hadn't seen Huo Chen all afternoon.
"Well, in the afternoon, the village chief's grandfather came to me and told me that I could also go to the martial arts training ground to study tomorrow, I thought to myself that this is a good thing, when I am good, I can also go to the forest to hunt, and I can even become a member of the hunter team, and then I can protect Lanlan you." Huo Chen's lying skills are becoming more and more proficient.
It's not that Huo Chen deliberately concealed Lan Lan, it's just that Huo Chen felt that one day he would leave the village to explore the world and find his own background. And he will inevitably leave Lanlan, like these things, Chen still thinks that it will be said in a few years.
"Really?" Lan Lan was obviously more excited than Chen, and grabbed Huo Chen's hand, "Brother Chen, you have to practice hard, otherwise you won't be able to protect Lan Lan." However, Brother Chen, you also have to take some time to accompany Lan Lan, okay? ”
Looking at Lan Lan's pleading gaze, Huo Chen had no choice but to agree.
"Great, I knew Brother Chen would agree. Let's hurry up and tell Grandpa and Dad the good news. After speaking, he pulled Huo Chen and ran home quickly.
"Grandpa, Dad, come out quickly, I'm going to announce a good news, everyone hurry up." Before she got home, Lan Lan yelled.
"Oh, little darling, what's the good news?" Lame grandpa was the first to come out. Immediately afterwards, Lan Lan's parents also came out.
"Let me tell you, Brother Chen can also go to the martial arts training ground tomorrow to study, haha, it's not amazing."
"Oh?" Lan Lan's father suddenly said, "Well, Chen is also five years old today." Okay, it's really good news, Lan Lan's mother, you go and prepare a few more dishes, take out our family's wine, and our grandfather has a good drink today, haha. ”
"Well, we really need to celebrate." The lame grandfather also echoed, "I'll cook and barbecue some meat in a while, and our grandfather won't return home if he is not drunk." ”
"Wow, that's great, I like grandpa's barbecue the most." Lan Lan is obviously more concerned about barbecue.
"You guys wait a minute, and we'll be ready to eat in a while."
In Zhuge Village, they have a set of several movements handed down from their ancestors, which can strengthen the body and increase the strength of the body. However, due to the difficulty of these movements, if children younger than five years old practice them, it is easy to hurt the cartilage and muscles and affect the child's development, and may even cause the child to be deformed.
After several generations of hard work, it was finally found that when the child's bones developed to a certain stage when he was five years old, this set of actions would not cause harm to the body, so the village stipulated that only boys who reached the age of five could go to the martial arts training ground to learn, and they could also grow up to study in the martial arts training ground and could assume certain responsibilities.
Therefore, Huo Chen was notified to study in the martial arts training ground to make the Lan Lan family so happy, and even the lame grandfather, who usually doesn't do much at home, is also interested and misses both hands.
Soon, a table of dishes was ready, and when the lame grandfather brought out the roasted roe deer leg meat, everyone's saliva couldn't help but flow out.
"Wow, it's delicious, although I just ate it in the morning, but grandpa's barbecue meat is never tired of eating, it's so delicious." Lan Lan first grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely.
"This girl, tell grandpa next time you want to eat, grandpa will bake it for you, look at your gluttonous cat." The lame grandfather lovingly played with Lan Lan's nose.
"Hee-hee...... Grandpa is so nice. ”
"Chen, you have grown up too, you have to practice hard tomorrow, but you can't embarrass your family." Lan Lan's father is still very good to Huo Chen, treating him like his own.
Speaking of Lan Lan's father, I have to explain, Lan Lan should have had a younger brother, but when Lan Lan's mother was pregnant with a child, she accidentally fell and miscarried, Lan Lan's mother was sad, they originally planned to have another one, but Lan Lan's father was worried about Lan Lan's mother's body and didn't want another one. Anyway, even if Lan Lan marries in the future, she will be in the village, and slowly Lan Lan's mother will have the idea of having a child, so Lan Lan's family is very good to Huo Chen, and they treat him as their own son.
"Yes, I know. Rest assured. Huo Chen nodded firmly.
This meal is a happy meal, with the little treasure of Lanlan, it is difficult for everyone to be unhappy.

Early the next morning, Huo Chen and a group of other children who had just reached the age of five came to the martial arts training ground early, waiting for their long-awaited learning opportunity. For Huo Chen, this desire to learn is even stronger, because he has more lofty ideals.
Zhang Xiang, now the captain of the Hunters, is in his thirties, if nothing else, this year is his last year in the Hunters, and he will concentrate on educating these children in the future, and will not go into the forest again.
"First of all, congratulations, children, on being finally grown up and ready to study. But this is not a very happy thing, because in the process of learning, I will not show mercy to your men, in order to make you survive better in the forest behind us, you usually have to sweat more, if you don't sweat now, you will have to bleed in the future. So, I'm going to be very strict, and if you want to quit now, come out and bring it up, I won't laugh at you. Zhang Xiang finished his opening remarks loudly, and then glanced around carefully.
"Very well, I hope tomorrow you will all be glad for your choice. Now, everyone is lined up in two rows, first run five laps around the martial arts training ground, don't come back in the morning if you can't finish the run, and don't eat breakfast if you run last, okay start now. Zhang Xiang first gave the children a dismount.
Although the martial arts training ground is not too big, and it is only more than 400 meters in one lap, it is still a little more difficult for five-year-old children, even if these children run crazy all day long. This tests the child's perseverance, and it is not easy to persevere.
As soon as these children heard this, they rushed out as if they were flying, for fear that they would run last or not complete the task. Only Huo Chen followed the back of the team unhurriedly, and did not rush at the beginning.
"Oh? Tatsu is a good kid. Zhang Xiang thought.
Soon, when everyone ran a lap, they found that although Huo Chen had been running unhurriedly, he was not left behind, but ran to the penultimate position, and the fastest people who ran just now were more or less wheezing, and their speed also slowed down, and even a child named Ma Dong was a little anxious at the beginning, as if he couldn't breathe, his face was red.
Huo Chen hurried two steps, ran to Ma Dong's side and said, "Run slowly, adjust your breathing, otherwise you won't be able to hold on for five laps." ”
Hearing Huo Chen's words, Ma Dong also followed Chen's advice and ran slowly, although the speed had slowed down, it was indeed not as breathless as just now, his face was much better, and it was better to run last than to be eliminated. Ma Dong glanced at Huo Chen gratefully and motioned for Huo Chen to leave him alone.
Huo Chen also nodded to him, and continued to follow unhurriedly. When everyone ran the third lap, they suddenly found that at some point, Huo Chen had already run in the top few of this group, and his face was as usual, but there was a little sweat on his forehead. And none of the others were as leisurely as Huo Chen, as if they didn't try their best.
When it was the last lap, everyone was desperate to find that Huo Chen had already run to the first, and there were faint signs of acceleration, and the others had already given up two people, and they really couldn't run; Many more were flushed and panting like cattle, as if they were about to fall.
Sure enough, Huo Chen was the first to run in front of Zhang Xiang. When Huo Chen just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, he was stopped by Zhang Xiang.
"Don't sit down immediately after doing strenuous exercise, but walk slowly for a while to cool down your body naturally." Zhang Xiang was more satisfied with Huo Chen's performance, and answered patiently, and if it was usual, Zhang Xiang would never say a word, and would simply and rudely let the children go for a while.
Ma Dong was the last to arrive.
"Congratulations on all passing the first test. Now I ask you a question: who still has the strength? ”
Everyone looked at each other, except Huo Chen. Huo Chen raised his hand, indicating that he still had strength.
Zhang Xiang nodded: "Very good, if there is a wolf by your side now, who can still live?" ”
Everyone lowered their heads, obviously no one could guarantee to survive the wolf's crazy attack when their bodies were extremely weak.
"So you should always remember one thing: never spend all your strength, always leave yourself a way back! Okay, except for Ma Dong to stay, everyone else will go back to breakfast, you have half an hour, don't come if you're late. ”
As soon as this group of children heard this, they hurriedly ran home, for fear that they would be left behind without food like Ma Dong. Soon, in less than twenty-five minutes, everyone gathered in the martial arts training ground again, waiting for Zhang Xiang's abuse.
"Good, everybody was on time." Zhang Xiang was very satisfied.
But for some reason, the seemingly nonexistent smile on Zhang Xiang's face made Chen feel creepy, "It seems that this morning is not easy!" Huo Chen thought in his heart.
"This morning's training content is just one, no matter how long you use, you can rest in the middle, you can rest for as long as you want, but you must do 150 push-ups before 12 o'clock at noon, don't come in the afternoon if you can't finish it, and there is no food at noon after the last one. Okay, let's go! ”
"Oh my God! What a pervert! ”
"I'm still a kid!"
"My hands and feet are still weak, I ......"
……
As soon as everyone heard it, they started talking about it.
