Chapter 453: True Love and Real Scene - Ice Fields (9)
Xu Ran only opened his 'Spiritual Power Shield' again after walking to the riverside this time, and he currently had two options, one was to take off this fur coat and only wear that set of underwear, so that when he was in his small-sized, cylindrical 'Spiritual Power Shield', he would not sweat due to the heat insulation effect of the 'Spiritual Power Shield'; Another option is not to take off the fur coat, but to increase the size of the cylindrical 'Mental Power Shield', and exercise in this large-size 'Mental Power Shield', which is not easy to sweat, and you can also exercise the heat insulation ability of the 'Mental Power Shield' under large-size conditions to improve your skills.
Xu Ran chose to increase the size, this time he applied a cylindrical 'spiritual power shield' with a diameter of 1 meter and a height of 2 meters to himself, he had never built a 'spiritual power shield' of this size and shape before, after feeling that there was no problem, Xu Ran began to levitate to the surface of the river, and then fell into the water, and then lay down again.
The reason why the cylindrical 'spiritual power shield' was set up was that Xu Ran considered that when he was in the river at night, he could directly lie down in a cylindrical environment, and he could exercise and fall asleep at the same time.
Xu Ran manipulated this cylindrical shape, lying down the river in the middle of the river, and his head facing the upstream current; In order to make himself lie more comfortable, he deliberately adjusted the horizontal height of his head higher than his feet, and this kind of fine-tuning of course also requires mental power to control; If he had relied only on the buoyancy of the water, his head would have fallen lower than his feet; After all, his state is different from ordinary swimming, when ordinary swimming, he can adjust the center of gravity of his body in the water by bending his legs, but in the 'Mental Power Shield', it is due to the restraint of the shield wall, which restricts the free bending of the legs downward.
Through the fine-tuning of the shield position in the water, Xu Ran discovered a new practice direction, that is, to practice this fine-tuning ability in the water, and learn to master the subtle control of the 'mental power shield'; this practice mode made Xu Ran happy to play in the river for a long time; you know, when the 'mental power shield' is in other media (such as politeness), this kind of micro-control can also be effective.
Since the river flows downstream, when Xu Ran first practiced, he let himself hover in the river water without moving through the method of 'spiritual power and objects', and then practiced drifting with the tide for a period of time, and then allowed himself to swim against the current. During all these exercises, he always kept himself lying on his back in the river.
Later, when he felt that he needed to take a nap, he no longer insisted on deliberately blessing the wall thickness of the 'Spiritual Power Shield' to achieve a better thermal insulation effect, but only wanted to maintain the stability of the 'Mental Power Shield' during sleep to avoid getting himself wet;
When Xu Ran woke up from a half-dream, the sky was almost dawn, and he himself was still lying in the 'spiritual power shield', slowly floating downstream, Xu Ran did not feel cold at this time, which showed that the heat insulation function of his 'mental power shield' was always playing a more or less role, Xu Ran felt that this might be related to his subconscious, and he was also habitually blessing the thickness of his shield wall.
Xu Ran froze his body and began to swim upstream; He didn't know how far he had floated downstream, but he had to rush back for breakfast, so that people would have to wait for him when they had made their meals.
In order not to delay looking at the scenery along the way, Xu Ran kept his 'spiritual power shield' in a vertical state, and he sat on the bottom of the cylindrical 'spiritual power shield'; because Xu Ran is currently opening a one-meter-diameter 'spiritual power shield', the buoyancy generated in the water is relatively large, and in the state of wrapping Xu Ran, the part that is submerged in the water is only more than 100 mm, if someone on the shore sees this scene, they will definitely think that Xu Ran is sitting on the water and floating.
Due to the width of the river, the return route Xu Ran chose was still close to the river bank on Xiaofang's side, of course, there was a certain distance from the shore, so that it was not easy for people on the shore to see him, although Xu Ran didn't care if he would be seen by others now, but he didn't plan to intersect with other people again.
Xu Ran estimated that this return journey was about six kilometers, and the geographical features along the way were all similar, but at a distance of 4 kilometers from Xiaofang's village, Xu Ran saw another small village, this small village had 4 families, and Xu Ran didn't see anyone outdoors when he passed by.
Xu Ran hurried along the way, and when he arrived at Xiaofang's village, it was almost two hours later, and when he passed by the place where he was fishing downstream yesterday, Xu Ran paused again and trapped 12 fish, and then he went ashore directly here, using the 'Spiritual Power Imperial Object' skill, supporting himself and the 12 fish respectively, and rushing directly to the small village from the land.
The reason why Xu Ran didn't bring the fish to the vicinity of the village and then fish ashore was to keep the fishing grounds of the three teenagers in a good atmosphere, and the province himself caught the fish in the vicinity, and it was even more difficult for the teenagers to catch fish.
The time for Xu Ran to rush back to the village was really just right, when Xu Ran arrived at the place where the three teenagers were fishing, it happened that the three teenagers came down from the high ground of the village, and they were about to look for Xu Ran to have breakfast.
This breakfast was eaten at Xiaofang's house, and the children and adults of the other two families were also here, eating with Xu Ran, Xu Ran took the fish he just caught directly to Xiaofang's house, Xiaofang's mother was still waiting to have a paid transaction with Xu Ran, but Xu Ran directly pushed it away, Xu Ran told several women that it was useless for him to ask for money and things now, this fish should only be eaten for a hot meal, and catching fish by himself is also a way to practice all the time, and it is not troublesome.
After everyone finished eating, Erhu's mother took some money, saying that since Xu Ran taught Erhu and them to learn martial arts, this money was considered a dowry for the three families, although it was not much, but it was also a courtesy and heart; Xu Ran had never seen the local currency, and he didn't know how much the money was worth, but he didn't need the money, so he refused directly; Xu Ran told the other party: "I will stay here for a winter at most, and I will teach them martial arts well, but how much they can learn in the end depends on their own fate. ”
In the end, at the request of Erhu's mother, each of the three teenagers gave Xu Ran a kowtow, which was regarded as a formal apprenticeship; The three teenagers and the second tiger are the senior brothers, Da Zhuang is the second senior brother, and Xiaofang is the third junior sister; Asked about the sect of the master, Xu Ran is difficult, he has begun to teach two kinds of boxing techniques, it can't be called the King Kong faction, Xu Ran's final consideration is to position the sect as the 'Huaxia faction'.
Originally, Xu Ran was just thinking about teaching a few teenagers some martial arts for self-defense, but he didn't expect this form to change super fast, and in a blink of an eye, he established a sect here; Since the sect is established, it must not chase the name of the sect, and it seems that he has to consider the development of the sect in the future.
Erhu's age is almost 15, Da Zhuang is more than 13 years old, and Xiao Fang is just over 12 years old; After the apprenticeship ceremony, the three teenagers began to go out to fish, and Xu Ran also began to return to the river and start his own practice and fishing activities.
Speaking of which, the apprenticeship gift given to Xu Ran just now is really not much, but this is also made up by these three families through gritted teeth; And Da Zhuang and Xiao Fang's family does not have much cash, Erhu's mother also helped them pay a part of the money, of course the three of them understand that it costs money to learn martial arts from a teacher, and the fees of famous teachers are high, and they can't afford to hire a master who teaches martial arts. So Erhu's mother told the other two women: "Although people didn't mention it, the etiquette of our master must be reached." Now that Xu Ran really has no intention of collecting money, the three women are relieved, otherwise the lives of these families will have to be tight for a while.
In the following days, Xu Ran can bring 100 catties of fish to these three families every day, which is considered to provide them with a great guarantee in terms of food, and the three children have also improved in terms of boxing, and when Xu Ran's round of 18 days of 'ice field' process is about to be completed, the three of them have practiced the basic movements of the primary boxing techniques they have learned, and they are practicing various combinations of movements. Xu Ran planned to wait for the next time he entered the ice field, he would guide them to learn sparring and improve through actual combat.
Considering that the physical consumption of the teenagers when they learned martial arts, and they were in the time of growing their bodies, with the help of the confidence that they could provide enough fresh fish, Xu Ran frankly suggested to the three women: "Let the teenagers eat one more meal every day, which is good for the body." This proposal was readily accepted by the women, after all, there is a surplus of fish and meat provided by Xu Ran every day, even if everyone eats one more meal a day, they can't eat one hundred and ten catties of fish every day, not to mention that this fish is caught by Xu Ran, and this suggestion to eat one more meal is put forward by Xu Ran, logically speaking, they have no reason not to do it according to Xu Ran's requirements, not to mention that it is for their own children to grow up.
However, they are also diligent and thrifty, and this additional meal, they only prepared for the three teenagers and Xu Ran, and themselves, as well as Xiaofang's younger brother, still have two meals a day.
On the fifth day after Xu Ran's arrival, the four men who went out hunting came back together, and they didn't harvest much prey this time, but they picked a ginseng, which made everyone quite satisfied; What the four of them gained from their trip was jointly owned by the four of them, and the income was divided equally among the four people.
They are very grateful and satisfied that Xu Ran came to their village because he did not harass their family, taught their children to learn martial arts, and brought them 100 catties of fish every day; When they heard that Xu Ran might want to stay here for a winter, they spontaneously wanted to build a house for Xu Ran, although Xu Ran insisted on refusing, they still insisted on building, they felt that when the weather was very cold, Xu Ran would inevitably need a place to keep out the cold.
Xu Ran saw that he couldn't persuade people to take spontaneous actions, so he had to help with the construction of trees, but Xu Ran told them: I don't want things like a kang or a kitchen, just a bedroom. He also explained that using a fire kang would affect his practice.
Xu Ran only needs one bedroom, and he also considers that every time he enters the 'Ice Field' world, he can directly exchange time and space in the bedroom, so that his whole body clothes can be kept in the bedroom, so that he can easily access them when he comes, otherwise, when he leaves, he really has to worry about finding a storage place.
Xu Ran and the four adult men spent four days building a rather beautiful cabin; According to the four adult men, they originally thought that the house would take eight days to build, but they did not expect that due to Xu Ran's participation, the progress of building the house had doubled.
Cutting and carrying wood, Xu Ran has great strength and is a good hand in his own right, and if he wants to tie a rope to the tree to control the direction of the tree, he no longer needs people to climb the tree to help the rope, Xu Ran can do it all by using spiritual power; And that's all trivial.
When the villagers built their houses, if they did not prepare iron nails and grappling hooks in advance, they had to make mortise holes in the parts where the two wooden skeletons needed to be connected, and then use strong wooden wedges to wedge the holes to connect the two independent tree trunks.
And their method of opening tenon holes is also different from the ordinary use of cutters to open holes, but with fire, so that the burned holes are not accurate, and there will be a lot of gaps in the holes when wedges are wedged into the wooden wedges; The voids were usually plugged with wood chips mixed with dirt, which used to be done by women and children, and houses were not built in winter.
Some parts of the wooden houses connected by wooden wedges will be not firmly connected, and the villagers will then buy some iron nails, iron grappling hooks, etc., to reinforce the unstable places.
This time, due to Xu Ran's participation, he showed his technical advantages when burning holes, Xu Ran can accurately control the range of the trunk being burned by fire through the way of spiritual power, and he can not worry about the trunk being burned too much and not strong, so it greatly improves the efficiency of opening the hole; The fixed-size wooden wedge processed by the villagers can also be very suitable for close cooperation with the holes he burns, which eliminates the process of plugging the gaps, which makes the master who is responsible for nailing the wooden wedges too comfortable to work, and feels that the wooden wedges and tenon holes have become a perfect match, and they are too easy to use.
In the process of building a house in the past few days, Xu Ran did not forget to fish for the villagers and give back to everyone, he would go to the river to fish for a few hours every day after the construction of the house was stopped; However, his fishing volume in the past few days is not as good as when he exercises in the river around the clock, and he can only catch about 50 catties of fish every day these days.
After the house was built, Xu Ran also taught the four adult men his stick method in the beginner stick method, Xu Ran saw that when they went out hunting, each of them had a long stick, and when he knew that they had not learned the systematic stick method, Xu Ran decided to teach the stick method to give back the enthusiasm of others to help him build a house.
When these four hunters went out hunting, they all brought hunting dogs, three of the Erhu family were taken out, two of the Da Zhuang family, and two of the Xiaofang family; This also made Xu Ran understand why there is usually only one hunting dog of Erhu's family in the village, and other people's hunting dogs are all involved in hunting, Xu Ran is occasionally worried that when adult men go out to hunt, in case a fierce beast enters the village, that hunting dog doesn't know if it can be done, but his idea is not suitable to ask, it is also dangerous for men to go out hunting, and it will be risky to bring fewer hunting dogs.
Before leaving the 'Flood Desolation' world, Xu Ran also told his three apprentices the night before that he would go out to practice for a few days tomorrow morning, so that they could tell their parents that they didn't need to prepare their own meals for a few days, and then, Xu Ran was directly in the cabin the next morning, and was teleported out of the 'Ice Field' world the next morning.
