Chapter Twelve: Autumn
Chapter Twelve: Autumn
After doing the so-called sit-ups and push-ups, I fell asleep directly on the bed.
To be honest, these bizarre training methods, but the movements are a bit ugly, and the results are actually quite good......
From that day on, in addition to learning shamanic skills and running, I secretly practiced these movements in my room.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and Leo actually asked me to bathe in the icy river water!
But this time, I just had a casual fight with him and accepted this strange way of training.
Because these training methods of his are starting to work on me.
And I can now clearly feel the elemental energy and nature spirits in the air, although I can't communicate with them and direct them to my advantage.
According to my grandfather, as long as I reached that step before the age of ten, I was a genius shaman.
Of course, that's hard.
However, I think I might be a trainee next year.
Now, when I wake up in the morning, I can run eight laps around the village, and when I come back, I have breakfast, occasionally help my mother and sister with a little work during the day, continue to learn shamanic skills most of the time, and secretly practice in my room at night when they have all gone to sleep.
The only trouble was the "pull-ups", the beams in the room were a little loose, which alarmed my mother, who was noisy by my brother at night, and I had to change to the morning and run to the woods outside the village - in fact, I could have run ten laps, but in order to do pull-ups, I had to run two laps less.
Actually, my siblings and grandfather probably knew about my little actions, but they didn't ask - I lied that I couldn't sleep, and they just scolded me casually.
According to Leo, they were just worried that I was making trouble, and when they saw that I wasn't making trouble, they didn't ask.
Leo said: "Children, naughty is inevitable, adults don't want to be too strict, as long as children don't get into trouble, they don't think too much." Really, adults are so stupid...... Think about what your friends are doing? They're playing, they're wasting their time, they're wasting their chance to be a powerhouse! ”
Although he said bad things about his grandparents, his mother, and his sister, I think he still has a little bit of truth......
This guy, obviously a demon, actually knows so much about the Minotaur!
Then again, maybe, probably, the demon was also mischievous when he was a child......
In short, a lot of the time, he doesn't speak so evilly.
Although he still occasionally said that he wanted to occupy my body, occupy the entire continent, dominate the world, or something......
Anyway, he's stuck in my right corner and can't get out.
After running in the morning and before going to bed at night, I began to bathe in the cold river water.
Kate and the others found out about the bath, and they laughed at me together, but I didn't care.
Next, one of them washed it like me, got sick, and finally it was my grandfather who used the herbs picked in the woods and added elemental energy to cure it.
As for me, I also took the opportunity to learn from my grandfather how to cure diseases with herbs, which is also a kind of shamanic skill.
But since then, my friends, including Kate, have looked at me in awe - they know that I, who is about to become a shaman, is no longer like them.
When the weather cooled down, the harvest of the hunting party first decreased a lot, and then suddenly increased, and my father and brother could bring back a lot of fat and fat prey every day, so they rarely went out again, and concentrated on staying at home to handle the meat, and salting it to dry, until later, when the weather became completely cold, the prey was completely extinct.
Grandpa said that autumn is over, and winter is coming.
The crops in the fields were ripe, and my mother and sister were busy.
I ran around to help them with chores, I had to learn from my grandfather, and I had less time to train, but I didn't stop.
Even if I wanted to be lazy, Leo wouldn't agree.
He always yelled when I was ready to be lazy: "Are you going to be lazy again?" Then you wait, I'm going to take your body soon! ”
Then, I gritted my teeth and pulled through.
Actually, I probably felt it too, he was trapped in the right corner, there were almost no energy fluctuations, and there was no threat at all.
However, I could not let my guard down.
Because he has always been my enemy......
This must not be forgotten!
After a busy day, I began to sneak up to the water tank behind the Kodo pen and began to bathe in cold water.
Leo came out again and said more: "Tut-tut, the physical development is getting better and better...... Look at it, this little body is about to get pimple! ”
I've been able to do it undisturbed by his words.
He was saying again, "Oh yo, the calf's head is also so majestic? I haven't lived there before! My God......"
I asked, "What is a calf's head?" ”
Leo laughed strangely: "It's the little calf's head between your legs......"
Only then did I understand and scolded: "Don't look at it!" This is my baby! ”
Of course, I don't understand why it's a baby, but grandpa, dad and brother all said so.
They also said that they should not show it to others.
Especially when you grow up!
In the past, when I was bathing in the mud and the river with my friends, everyone didn't care about the "baby", but now, I have understood that this baby should be protected.
Leo smiled and said, "By the way, there are so many heifers in the village, ah no, so many little girls, do you have any favorites?" ”
I said strangely, "Girl? Disliked......"
Leo smiled even more happily: "Don't worry, one day you will like it, and by that time, you will have to marry one of them and have a bunch of little minotaurs......"
I was a little stunned: "Huh? ”
Leo said, "Didn't you hear? Your brother has taken a fancy to a girl from a neighboring village, and your father is preparing to propose marriage in the spring! ”
Tie the knot? Propose?
It seems that there is such a thing.
However, what does this have to do with "treasure" shells?
Leo said, "It's a pity, how nice it would be if you were a human......
I said, "That's right, human beings are thin and small, cunning and untrustworthy, and they are really like you, occupying human bodies, which is quite suitable!" ”
Leo said, "Hmph, you don't understand it!" It's a pity, it's a pity, such a majestic calf head, that's the basic condition for building a big harem! It's a pity...... You have a bull-headed and horse-like face, how can you seduce beauties of other races, thank God you didn't scare people into crying......"
He's talking crazy again.
The swishing cold water rubbed the body, it was indeed a little cold at first, but it was actually very comfortable to get used to, and the body would even heat slightly when washed in the back, and the whole body was warm, so that people could fall asleep quickly.
Leo was still babbling about something, and I said, "Don't make noise, I'm sleeping!" ”
Leo kept his mouth shut.
At night, I had a dream that my brother was married, and he was married to a girl from a neighboring village, but unfortunately, I didn't see what the girl looked like.
I also dreamed that my sister was getting married, but she didn't want to, so she sat at the door of her house and cried.
Her cry was like that of her brother.
I woke up to find that it was really my brother crying......
Before dawn, my brother was crying a lot, and my mother was coaxing him.
My sister and brother ran around to help.
I got up quietly, and my sister saw me and said, "Bihong, why are you getting up so early?" ”
I said, "It's too noisy to sleep!" ”
My mother seemed to hear it and said, "Bihonghong, go out for a run, and come back for breakfast after running!" ”
I was a little strange, and my sister said, "I know that you have this strange problem, and Dad said, if you want to run, just run, don't run too far!" ”
I laughed: "Well, got it! ”
I ran out, and Leo suddenly said, "How nice it would be if I had such a good family when I was a child......
I said, "You should be an adult, right?" How old are you? I've heard that demons, well, your race, have a lifespan of hundreds of years and thousands of years, you won't be a hundred-year-old monster of a thousand years, right? ”
Leo coughed a few times inexplicably: "Ahem, cough, well, this, of course I'm an adult, as for the age...... I'm twice as old as your grandfather! ”
I counted my fingers: "Oh - that's true!" Grandpa is in his forties this year, you, you have, um, in your eighties? Wow! ”
Leo said, "Well, that's it, by the way, you don't seem to like counting, do you?" ”
I said, "yes." ”
Leo said, "Then, when a merchant or something comes to the village, how do you count the money?" ”
I said, "The merchants will do the math themselves!" ”
Leo said: "I have long felt that something is wrong, you must have been deceived by those merchants!" ”
I said, "How come, businessmen come every year, it is impossible to lie to us!" ”
Leo has started to say crazy things.
Soon, however, merchants came to the village.
