Chapter VII Text

Uncle Li couldn't help but laugh at Qi Ling's refusal to admit defeat, and then approved the perfect ending of Qi Ling's second training.

"In some time, it's your birthday, the third stage of pressure training, let's start when you pass your birthday, and, do you have any wishes Xiao Qi, if Uncle Li has the conditions, he can satisfy you. ”

"Uh... I don't have any wishes, I just hope that everyone can come to my house to eat and drink together, and everyone can be together to be the happiest. ”

"Oh~ really don't you have any wishes?"

"Hmm... In fact, there are, but it can only be difficult to achieve. ”

"What is your wish?"

Uncle Li looked at Qi Ling's face from joy to sorrow, and was a little puzzled.

"I want to go out of the mountains, I want to see the outside world. ”

"That's what I wanted... The outside world is not as peaceful as here, and we fled here to take refuge. ”

“... The place we are in is not completely safe, and I find that the vision is gradually approaching us. ”

"Hmm... I found out too. ”

Qi Ling said the wish that he had buried in his heart for a long time and talked to Uncle Li, but he was surprised to find that he was also observing some small changes in the mountains.

"What are those visions, do you know Uncle Li?"

"Even though I noticed that it was close, there was still some distance and I didn't see what it was. ”

"Uncle Li, can you persuade everyone to go out of the mountain together, you have noticed the fluctuations of the vision, and you must also feel that it is not safe here. ”

Qi Ling wanted to say something, although he didn't gain anything, but he couldn't dispel Qi Ling's yearning for the outside world, and he also wanted to start persuading the villagers with Uncle Li as the core, after all, Uncle Li's cultivation was also a very powerful existence in the village, and with his persuasion, he would definitely be able to increase the chances of winning.

"Haha, how can you be sure that I don't find it safe?"

"Intuitive thoughts. ”

"Well, that's right, this vision does pose some threat to us, although we can't tell if it's really moving towards our village, but it's very deterrent just by showing the phenomenon, even if it hurts other places, its aura will be shocking to the surroundings nine times out of ten, so we still have to be careful. ”

"Then Uncle Li, do you agree?!"

Qi Ling was suddenly excited, because he noticed that Uncle Li's expression was a little serious, and there was some approval of his tone in his words.

"Haha, I can only try, after all, I haven't seen the outside world for a long time. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you as Uncle Li and help me by default!"

Uncle Li agreed with a smile, instantly lifted the bright smile that Qi Ling held in his heart, took Uncle Li's hand and said yes again and again.

"Look at you, go back quickly, otherwise Sister-in-law Ling will chase you and beat you. ”

"Uh-huh, goodbye, Uncle Li. ”

Uncle Li pointed to the rising sun and teased Qi Ling, who saw the situation, also nodded again and again, saying goodbye and going home.

...

In recent days, Uncle Li has not appeared in Qi Ling's field of vision, at this time it is approaching early autumn, everyone has begun to prepare to store food for the winter, what should be planted, what should be harvested, no one has free time to be busy with other things, Uncle Li is no exception, and his birthday is approaching, it is time to pay attention to it.

One day, Qi Ling and his mother also came to Houshan early and went down to their field to harvest grain, and many people in the field were busy harvesting grain, a busy scene.

“... This soybean, how did it die so much. Qi Linggang wanted to harvest with a sickle, but he saw that the crops in the field were crooked, dead, and broken, and he was very puzzled.

"Ouch, what's going on, how did my beans become like this?"

"Don't say it, all the things I planted are injured, it's really strange, these days, the animals are also famine, these have to be eaten. ”

"I don't think it's like it's eaten by animals, it's like a disaster, it's a natural disaster?!"

"I also think that there has been fire and thunder and lightning in the mountains lately, and the gods are angry. ”

"Hey, I saw it too, and there were things like lotus flowers flying in the sky. ”

"How is it possible, presbyopia, don't talk nonsense, quickly collect what you can. ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, my wife has seen these visions too, hey, hey. ”

Qi Ling was puzzled, and went down to other fields to check the situation of other crops, which was basically the same situation, and he also heard the conversation of several elders, which couldn't help but cause Qi Ling to think deeply.

It turned out that many people had discovered this vision.

Although most people have found the vision, but almost no one regards the vision as a threat, there is no plan to evacuate and move, those feudal and superstitious elders even stupidly raise their heads to pray to the sky, bow their heads to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and some timid villagers think that it is a ghost, they are all scared to get sick, and now it is to make the people in the village panic, it is really fatal.

"Alas. ”

What can be done, the grain must be harvested if it dies, and if it is not faster, those good estimates will also suffer, Qi Ling sighed and accelerated the harvesting speed in his hands.

Because most of the grain crops died, this harvest, Qi Ling only took a few days to harvest, and there were a few days to spare, after Qi Ling and his mother planned everything for the winter, Qi Ling secretly ran to Uncle Li's house at night to ask about the specific time of the third training, seeing that the last step was missing, Qi Ling was anxious and didn't want to wait until after his birthday.

"Training. Uncle Li, who was enjoying the shade in the courtyard, heard the words and paced: "How have you been practicing your physical strength and arm strength recently?"

"As soon as I have free time, I am practicing, I can run the mountain 25 times, and I can carry three buckets with my left and right hands with my arm strength, no problem. ”

Qi Ling has not been able to start a new practice, and has been practicing the first two times for entertainment, and he has gradually improved in entertainment.

"The third training was a stress training, but there is nothing to do on land at the moment, so we can only wait until the river rises and train with the impact of the current. ”

"Good!"

"But don't get your hopes up too much, because the weather has been abnormal lately, and there is still frost in the river, and I don't know if the water will rise. ”

"It's okay, it's okay later, then I'll go back to Uncle Li first." ”

Uncle Li's words Qi Ling still took it to heart, after all, it was just one step away, and it was really uncomfortable to suddenly have a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but Qi Ling was not good at writing emotions on his face, so he could only hide it silently in his heart, and he turned around and went home after saying goodbye to Uncle Li.

...

"Where did you go again on the big night?" As soon as Qi Ling pushed open the door, he heard his mother's cry and question.

"I... I went to talk to the big tiger. ”

"Is it really a chat?"

"Really, it's just chatting. ”

"You're talking about the training of the Enlightenment, right?"

When Qi Ling heard this, he was shocked, only Uncle Li and himself knew about Qiling, and he never mentioned it, how did his mother know.

"Don't you think about how I know?" Sister-in-law Ling looked at Qi Ling and asked, Qi Ling pretended to be innocent and looked at her mother without saying a word.

"Back then, your father also went in and out according to this time difference, and the time you always ran to the bathroom these days was about the same as the time difference between your father's Qiling training, and I saw it in a few days. ”

Sister-in-law Ling recalled the past and the present, and tenderness appeared in her eyes, which made Qi Ling a little surprised.

"Your father... Although I am happy to have successfully practiced, but your father tasted the sweetness and wanted to practice more, and in the end we talked less, always quarreling every once in a while, and that day was really haha..."

Sister-in-law Ling spoke seriously, her eyes revealed a little desolation, and then she laughed, her emotions were unpredictable.

"So, mother, you don't want me to practice martial arts because I'm afraid of estrangement?"

"But no, what do you think I'm afraid of? But, looking back, it's good that you have your own goals, so I don't object to you, so be whatever you want, but don't be like your father, just practice until you get carried away. ”

Sister-in-law Ling's eyes were relieved, and she took Qi Ling's hand and patted it twice.

Qi Ling looked at his mother's face full of vicissitudes and a smile of relief, he felt that there were waves in his eyes, pursed his lips to hold back his tears, and slowly hugged his mother, at this moment Qi Ling didn't know if his mother was short or tall, there was already a big gap in height between the two...

...

A few days later, Qi Ling's birthday came as scheduled, and the glimmer of light gradually rose in the early morning, and it was already a busy scene outside Qi Ling's house.

Sister-in-law Ling borrowed a few wooden tables from the villagers next door and began to be busy between the kitchen and the yard.

Of course, Qi Ling can't be idle, while entertaining the villagers who came to visit, he took out the dishes and chopsticks and the dried meat and stuffed meat sauce a few months ago to entertain, after all, the guests were celebrating Qi Ling's birthday, and they couldn't be empty-handed, they all personally brought home-made things to supply or give gifts.

Dried animal meat, fruit-brewed wine, delicious chickens, ducks, fish, etc., enriched one table after another, five or six tables are not enough, and two more are placed outside the courtyard, although there are not many people in the village, but the enthusiasm of the people in the village is full.

Prepare the ingredients, greet the guests, and everyone is busy and it is almost noon.

"Come on, come on, everyone sit down!"

Sister-in-law Ling looked at the several tables of sumptuous meals and the villagers chattering everywhere, looked at everyone with a smile, and said.

Everyone sat down happily when they heard this, ready to listen to Sister-in-law Ling's speech.

"Today is the birthday of my son, Qi Ling!, I wish my son good health in the future, and find a beautiful daughter-in-law as soon as possible haha!"

Sister-in-law Ling's nonsensical blessing attracted laughter from everyone, and all eyes looked at Qi Ling, and the sound of ridicule and blessing rose together, and Qi Ling couldn't deal with it and could only smile awkwardly.

Just over twenty, he urged marriage.

"Next!"

Seeing that everyone was laughing from ear to ear, Sister-in-law Ling spoke again, her tone serious.

"I think everyone has seen the vision in the mountains, and you know that it has been going on for many months, I wonder if you have noticed that the vision is getting closer?"

Sister-in-law Ling pointed to the mountain, frowned slightly, and asked everyone.

"I made it clear, the vision is getting closer, it will bring us unknown dangers, let's build a boat and go down the river, what do you think?"

Sister-in-law Ling said loudly.

As soon as Sister-in-law Ling's words fell, everyone's mood of eating, drinking and having fun was instantly erased, and they looked at each other, as if they were not ordinary surprised by Sister-in-law Ling's words.

Even Qi Ling was stunned, praying for so long that his desire to go out of the mountain was actually said from his current mouth, it was incredible, did Uncle Li persuade his mother, and asked Qi Ling to look at Uncle Li who was sitting next to him, but Uncle Li just shook his head slowly.

The mother turned out to be spontaneous.

Regardless of whether everyone agrees or disagrees, Qi Ling's heart is unspeakably joyful.

"Why didn't I see the vision approaching?"

"I think my life is quite fulfilling now, what if I go out and have more visions?"

Someone opened their mouths to complain, and most of their tone was dissatisfied with Sister-in-law Ling's words.

"I noticed that the vision was near, and it was very clear that it was visible at the foot of the mountain recently. ”

"Didn't Lao Li discuss this with us a few days ago?"

"Yes, yes, Lao Li said it, there must be something. ”

Some of the generations who are addicted to farming are not aware of it, but the younger generation is still quite bright-eyed, but the difference between the two intentions is still very large.

"Listen to me, what Sister-in-law Ling said is indeed true, the vision is indeed close to our side, not to mention whether the purpose will be our village, just say that the proximity of this vision itself is a threat, everyone is still prepared, and it is also a way to go out of the mountain. ”

Uncle Li saw the commotion around him, each with his own rhetoric, in order to calm down the two intentions, Uncle Li stood up and walked to Sister-in-law Ling to start explaining to everyone, hoping that everyone could have a unified will.

"Lao Li said so, it may be really a bit dangerous. ”

"yes, then let's go out, it's been a long time anyway, and it should be safe outside. ”

When everyone stayed at Uncle Li's words, they all began to move towards Uncle Li's wishes.

"Then it's decided, work earlier and stay away from disasters as soon as possible, tomorrow we will divide the labor and build the ship, the men will cut wood, and the women will prepare dry food along the way?"

Looking at the voice of the majority of people agreeing, Sister-in-law Ling smiled and guided everyone's work.

"Good!"

And all the people who heard the word responded with all their might.

"Then everyone eat more, and work tomorrow!"

After Ling's sister-in-law's words, everyone enjoyed the fruits of today's labor.

Everyone talks and laughs, the sun gradually slants westward, the sunset reflects the whole sky, extremely beautiful, and the small village is also hung up with lanterns, the simple village instantly becomes atmospheric and noisy, everyone eats and drinks, carefree, this is probably the life that everyone yearns for the most...
