8. Family (2)
After the cataclysm, due to the change of the rules of heaven and earth, in the struggle for survival with various alien creatures and mutated creatures, a variety of exercises and techniques that can use the source power of the stars to strengthen the body have been derived, much like the legendary space ascension. In other words, there is a transition from three-dimensional space to higher-dimensional space......
In short, this is a new world full of wonders!
Of course, if you want to become a strong person, you need to open at least the eight points of your body first, sense the so-called "star source power", and become a real martial artist, before you can be regarded as starting to get started, and now you are still several years away from the realm of becoming a martial artist.
After hundreds of years of exploration, the cultivation system of the Chiyan Continent has gradually matured, and after the establishment of the Federation, it is also vigorously promoting and popularizing martial arts training, and the entire society has slowly entered the era of national cultivation. The cultivation of a martial artist is first based on forging the body, accumulating qi and blood to break through the eight points of the body, and then leading the source power of the stars into the dantian, truly entering the ranks of cultivators.
Full of qi and blood, he can break through a trick point, even if he enters the realm of martial arts. Every time the martial arts realm broke through a trick point, the amount of qi and blood required increased exponentially, and the advancement became more and more difficult. This poor scholar and rich martial arts, Ling Li usually can't even eat enough, not to mention the qi and blood replenishment pills taken by those rich children, the accumulation of qi and blood in the body is insufficient, and he can be regarded as relatively lucky to be able to break through the four tricks.
This is also because of the establishment of the Federation, the social order before the cataclysm was gradually restored, and with the implementation of six-year compulsory education, martial arts education can be received. If it were in the Dark Ages, the children of poor families would not have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of cultivation knowledge, let alone martial arts, and they could only struggle at the bottom of society, and they would not even have the ability to fight against those mutated creatures.
"Breaking through the acupoints, although it is not really a martial artist realm, it can lead the source power of the stars into the body and become a cultivator, but it has greatly improved people's physique and spirit. The more you break through, the better your physical fitness and the more your strength increases...... No matter what era, it is the strong who control more resources, which is an eternal truth. ”
Thinking of this, Ling Li had to shake his head helplessly, this taste of being a salted fish at the bottom of society is not very pleasant.
After a dreamless night, Ling Li woke up on time before six o'clock in the morning as usual, a habit that had been cultivated for many years.
The dim light penetrated through the small window in the room, and he felt that the little brother under him was erecting a tent high, he frowned, and then calmed down, according to the breathing requirements of cultivation, took a sharp breath, and then exhaled slowly. After doing this more than a dozen times, there were finally no distractions, and the brother also drooped his head before he began to get dressed and get up.
He got dressed and gently climbed out of bed, ready to prepare breakfast for his family.
It is true that only three months after coming to this world, after identifying and adapting to the identity of his relatives, and seeing his mother working hard every day, pulling the lives of him and his sister, he took the initiative to take over the housework of making breakfast for the family every morning. It is understandable that young people are lazy and lazy, and they are human beings in their own lives, and people who are over forty years old together can watch their mothers drag their tired bodies and take care of housework with peace of mind, which is really unreasonable from the heart.
The mother was actually awake, and the younger sister was still asleep. Ling Li stretched out his finger and pressed it to his lips, signaled to his mother, and then took out the rice pot with ease, scooped a small bowl of rice into it, and then quietly walked out of his room with the pot in one hand.
Someone in the corridor had already gotten up, Ling Li scooped up the rice, added half a pot of water, and then took the pot to a communal kitchen at the east end of the corridor. There are two communal rooms on each floor, each with its own stove, and more than 20 small stoves are lined up next to the wall, using fuel similar to the honeycomb coal in memory. In order to save fuel, Ling Li's family will turn off the fire every night, while the conditions of Lao Sun's house next door are better, because they are afraid of making a fire and do not turn off the fire every day, but will seal the stove to make the briquettes burn more slowly.
Lao Sun's family got up late, Ling Li opened the stove of their house, then picked up the tongs, returned to the door of his house, and came back with a briquette from the wooden compartment. After waiting for about ten minutes, he saw that half of the briquettes on the top of the Sun family's stove had ignited, so he took the burning briquettes out of the stove, put them into his own stove, and then put the pot seat with water on it.
When his own stove began to boil porridge, he took the briquettes he took from his own house and put them into the hearth of the Sun family, and sealed the stove again.
Everyone is a neighbor, they help each other on weekdays, and sometimes they use other people's things like their own, but everyone has a number in their hearts, that is, try not to take advantage of other people's homes. Neighbors, get along with each other, this is a standard, always take advantage of other people's homes, and eventually everyone will try to avoid you and be isolated.
It is precisely because of this spirit of solidarity and cooperation that human society has finally survived the most dangerous moment of extinction.
The more impoverished the time, the closer the neighborhood becomes, probably because everyone needs help from someone else's home.
Who can still have no difficulty?
Under the conditions of the Ling family, breakfast is just gruel and pickles, and the so-called steamed buns and fritters can be regarded as a luxury, and they can only be tasted once in a while.
"When I have money, I'll buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one bowl, and I'll pour one bowl. When I have money, I'll buy two fritters, eat one and throw one away......" This joke on Blue Star can really be called a standard show off of wealth in this civilian area on the Chiyan Continent.
This porridge has to be cooked, it takes more than half an hour, Ling Li waited for the water to boil, stirred it in the pot a few times, and saw that the rice grains were floating up and no longer sticking to the bottom of the pot, so he lifted half of the lid of the pot and said to a middle-aged woman who was starting to cook next to him: "Aunt Zhang, help me watch the pot, I'll go downstairs and run for a while." ”
"Don't worry, look at how diligent your child is, and then see that my pillar is still lazy to sleep on the bed, and I will call a few times before seven o'clock, and I won't be able to get up!" That Aunt Zhang chattered again as usual.
Ling Li's family lived on the second floor, and when he came downstairs, he looked up at the sky, and the east was already a little white.
In this era of national cultivation, many people have already gotten up and used the narrow spaces between buildings and streets to conduct morning exercises. Everyone works hard, and they are probably used to this kind of life.
Ling Li ran around the street outside the community, and after about twenty minutes, after feeling a slight sweat on his body, he returned to his downstairs. When I got upstairs, Aunt Zhang was still making breakfast, and on the stove at home, the porridge pot was no longer there, and the iron kettle for boiling water was replaced.
Mother had already gotten up and had already brought back the porridge.
When I returned home, I saw that my sister Ling Yan'er was also up and drinking porridge, so I couldn't help asking, "It's Sunday, why are you getting up?" ”
"Today there is a class activity at the school, so let's come to school at half past eight." Ling Yan'er replied in a proper manner. Ling Li's psychological age is mature, and the relationship between brother and sister responds to the old saying - the eldest brother is like a father, Ling Yan'er behaves very well-behaved and obedient in front of Ling Li, but she lacks the kind of closeness between ordinary brothers and sisters.
