Chapter 1 The Courtyard in the Mountains

Next Chapter

"Seven more trips!"

An old man sat on a wicker chair in the middle of the courtyard, without even opening his eyes, and said lightly to the five panting children in front of him.

After listening to the old man's words, the expressions of several children suddenly became bitter. The youngest of them, the boy, blushed, opened his mouth several times to say something, but when he saw the old man, he closed his mouth in amusement.

Of the five people, three were boys and two were girls. The name of the little boy who was flushed just now is Gu Xin, the youngest of the three boys, this year twelve, a pair of smart big eyes are eccentric, but in front of this indifferent old man, there is obviously no liveliness in the past, as if he knows that his small means have no effect at all in front of the old man, so he can only set his eyes on the oldest boy among all, Gu Tian.

Gu Tian, the appearance of the big brother who is obvious among everyone, bronzed skin, his figure is not burly at all, even a little thin, his appearance is not very handsome, there is a shallow smile on his face, and there is a smell of sunshine. Because of his cultivation, the fifteen-year-old was already as tall as an adult, and he naturally had a manly spirit when he stood there, and there was a trace of indifference on his body that was very similar to that of an old man, if it weren't for the childishness on his face, no one would treat him as a teenager. Gu Xin's pleading gaze made him feel a little funny, but he pretended not to see it, turned around and ran towards the mountain. "Wait for me, Brother Xiaotian", a crisp female voice came from behind him. Gu Tian stopped and turned to look at the little girl behind him, who was also flushed and already had a fine layer of sweat on her forehead. Looking at the little girl with the long carved jade bracelet in front of her, although she usually cultivates, she has not tanned her skin like Gu Tian, she is still so fair, and her appearance is cute and sweet, and the little girl looks at Gu Tian with a strong dependence in her eyes, which makes people have a desire to protect. She is Gu Tian's own sister, Gu Min.

Gu Tian squatted down and looked at the girl in front of him who was five years younger than himself, his face was full of tenderness, his eyes were doting, he gently wiped the sweat from the girl's forehead with his sleeves, stood up and pulled the little girl to run up the mountain.

There are still three children left, Gu Xinyu, Gu Xinyan is also two brothers and sisters, they are the children of Gu Tian's uncle, Gu Xinyu is tall and burly, it is hard to imagine that a person with such a literary name looks like this. Although he is one year younger than Gu Tian, he is not shorter than him at all, his appearance is slightly honest, his skin is dark, and his body exudes a simple and honest atmosphere. Gu Xinyan is the same age as him, and the two are dragon and phoenix fetuses, but Xinyan's figure is obviously smaller, and it can be seen that she is also a beauty embryo. Gu Xinyu scratched the back of his head, turned around and ran backwards, and Gu Xinyan could only follow behind. Gu Xin saw that no one took care of him, his face became even more bitter, and he could only run forward helplessly.

In fact, Gu Xin just complained casually, and he also understood that whatever he said was useless, so he was unambiguous when he was really training.

From the moment the sun rises in the morning, everyone gets up to train, which has been a habit for many years. The courtyard where they were staying was surrounded by mountains, and there was no one else here but them. To say that there is. That's the town a few miles away, Binh Duong. Although it is a small town, there are only a few hundred households in the town, which is about the same as a larger village.

After they left, the old man opened his cloudy gaze, his eyes were kind, he didn't know what to think, he sighed leisurely, then closed his eyes, and sat there leisurely.

"Brother Xiaotian, what did you say the second grandfather asked us to train every day?" Gu Min asked beside him

Hearing this, Gu Tian's eyes flashed, but he covered it up well, "I don't know, but the second grandfather must have his reasons for doing this, he is very good to us, isn't he", Gu Tian said to his sister with a smile.

"Hmm", said no more and ran up the hill.

Their training every morning consisted of running from the yard to the nearest hill, to the top of the hill and down again, twenty laps a day. Like Gu Min, Gu Xin's relatively small body was already very tired without weight, if it weren't for the fact that their strength had reached the third level of quenching, they wouldn't have been able to hold on at all. And Gu Xinyu is now the sixth weight of the quenching body, directly carrying a big stone, about two hundred catties, looking at his easy run, although he can't run fast, but he has obviously adapted to it, and there is not much pressure.

They all knew that Gu Tian had a hundred catties of lead tied to his legs, and it was still a little difficult to see that he was still a little struggling.

After running four more times, he ran to the top of the mountain again, Gu Tian looked at Gu Min's hard work and couldn't bear it, but he didn't help her, in the previous time, Gu Tian would carry Gu Min down the mountain on his back, and then run a few back and forth, of course, when there was still some distance from the yard, he put it down, so that his grandfather would not see it. Later, he himself understood that this was completely doting on his sister, and there was no benefit in this world of the jungle.

When the sun was up, everyone returned to the courtyard, and everyone sat down together to rest next to the second grandfather, that is, the old man in the courtyard.

At this time, Gu Tian and Gu Xinyu went up the mountain to hunt with a basket on their backs, which is already everyone's habit.

Towards noon, two people came down from the mountain one after the other, and in the basket were some pheasants, hares, and the like, and occasionally they could catch a wild boar. Although they hunted every day, they did not eat so much themselves, and only hated a small part of the meat every day, and most of it was taken to the town and given to other people, and by the way, they came back with a little other food.

Gu Tian carried a basket to the town, although it was a small town, but it was obviously much more lively than where he lived, they have always been a few people living together, although the relationship is good, but it is inevitably a little monotonous, only occasionally some people come to their small yard to send some daily necessities.

"Xiaotian, what are you fighting today, it looks good", Gu Tian didn't get closer, a familiar loud voice shouted, it was an iron strike in the town who spoke, Gu Tian called him Uncle Yang, and some other people also followed to say hello.

"It's almost the same as yesterday, it's still these things, but now it's getting harder and harder to fight, this mountain is almost finished, it took me a long time to find such a thing, and I will change the mountain tomorrow", Gu Tian also greeted people with a smile, obviously they are very familiar.

As usual, change something, Gu Tian walked back on his back.
