Chapter 27: The Widow's Surprise

This kind of grasshopper jumps out unexpectedly, which is the goal I need to practice the most.

Seeing the grasshopper flying, my eyes were like a torch, and after quickly judging the take-off position of the grasshopper, I quickly adjusted my body posture, reversed my wrist suddenly, and quickly adjusted the firewood knife to the upward direction of the blade, and then my body quickly back, desperately using the strength of my waist and back to drive my arms, and the firewood knife in my hand was even more rapid upward with the trend.

A flash of cold light.

Swish!

The firewood knife drew a strange arc and swept past the grasshopper's side.

It's just a little bit, and I still haven't cut it, but I'm very happy, such a difficult knife posture can be cut as close to the target, which has satisfied me, after all, I haven't practiced yet, the ability to hit the target with the knife, at least this shows that my reaction speed is enough, my way of cutting is right, these two points are very important, and these are the two most important points of my current training, speed and strength!

Speed requires personal reflexes and mastery of the knife, while strength requires oneself to use a reasonable force at each knife, if you do these two things, coupled with my diligent practice, it is only a matter of time before you want to hit the target.

I'm still young! There's a lot of room to grow.

So I continued to practice in this bush.

It didn't take long, but soon I had practiced a thousand knives and caught enough grasshoppers, and it was time to go home.

It's still early today, and I want to go to the academy to have a look.

Now I find that the academy is a great place for me to learn about external information. There is no good way to communicate in the mountains, and I can only know what is happening outside from people's chats, so during this time, as long as there is enough time in the morning, I will go to the school to visit and listen to the children's chats, and the children like to tell the people around them the first time they know the information, which has become a window for me to get information.

When I got home, I put the grasshopper down and ran to the school, I was almost five years old, and I could run a little more unrestrained on the road, as long as it wasn't too weird, and no one else would say anything, like the children in the mountains.

Arrived at the door of the school, I didn't see the mastiff in front of the school today, I didn't have to say hello to him, I ran directly into the school, it's the end of class time, the students are playing or chatting in the school yard, I just pinched them to come at this time after class.

In the past three years, the children in the village have grown a lot taller, and this group of children are all older children in their teens.

At this moment, I saw that Brother Rundong and his group were just talking about something together, so I immediately came over, there must be some external news, I went over to listen.

"Why didn't Yam Egg come to school today?"

The mountain boy was there to ask about the situation of the yam egg, usually he had the most trouble with the yam egg, but he didn't see the yam egg today, obviously feeling the loneliness of some heroes who are difficult to meet opponents.

A girl next to him, Zini said: "I know his situation, I heard that his family can't pay the tuition, and his father asked him to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables in the future and stop studying." ”

"He only pays half the price of tuition and can't afford it?"

The mountain boy asked in surprise, he was in the same village, and he also knew the situation of Yamdan's family.

"Yes, there is a big drought this year, the crops in the field have not been harvested, and the father of Yam Egg is a tenant farmer, so I am afraid that it will be a problem to eat, and I will not be able to afford to go to school. Ziny pouted.

At this time, Ergou, who had been silent, also murmured: "I can't come to school tomorrow, and my dad said that I should also go home and help the family with farm work." ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent and in a very low mood, which means that there are a lot fewer classmates in the class, and there are a lot fewer playmates, which makes them feel uncomfortable, but they know that this is not something they can control.

Yes, this year's drought is very serious, and the disaster is very serious, it is said that the crops in the field have been cut off, so those families who make a living from farming will face the problem of not having enough to eat, that is, I, the son of a hunter, deal with grasshoppers every day, so I don't care about these things, but at this moment I hear that many children can't afford to go to school, and I feel very sad.

After being silent for a long time, I heard Brother Rundong say on the side: "It seems that this year's drought is really serious, the day before yesterday, a person from the town came to our house to collect grain, and said that there was a grain robbery incident in Xiangtan Town a few days ago, and many poor people robbed several grain stores in the town. ”

"Grab food? Isn't that going to kill your head?"

The mountain boy immediately asked in surprise, this is a big event that is rarely heard of in the mountains.

"It's better to kill your head than to starve to death! With such a big disaster this year, how can those people survive without grabbing food? Besides, there are so many people who grab food, how can they be caught so easily?" Zhini said angrily on the side, her family is not rich, and she often starves, obviously she can understand the feelings of those who are starving, she is on the side of those poor people to speak, and the attitude of children is usually very direct.

When the mountain girl saw what Zi Ni said, he also echoed: "Well, if you are about to starve to death, I will also go to grab food to eat." ”

The children from poor families nodded in agreement.

Only Rundong hesitated, obviously, he never thought that he would starve to death, seeing that the classmates around him were so supportive of the people who grabbed the food, he hurriedly said: "If you are really hungry, I will give you our family's food to eat then." ”

"Oh!"

The mountain girl shouted happily as if she had really been relieved.

Cheni was more serious, she thought about it and asked worriedly, "We have so many people going to your house, what if your family's food is also eaten?"

Rundong paused, and then said very heroically: "If my family's food is gone, I will set up a 'brother's club', you join together, and I will take you to eat together." ”

"Oh, yes, great!"

"We're going to set up a 'brotherhood', we're going to eat big households. ”

The children were obviously more interested in the proposal, and were even happier than they were when they got the promise of food from Rundong, as if they were about to form a 'brotherhood'.

Brother Rundong didn't seem to expect that his classmates would be so excited about this proposal, which was completely beyond his expectations, of course, when he saw his classmates admiring his proposal so much, he was also very proud, holding his head high, like that, as if he was already the leader of the 'Brother Club' now.

"It's class!"

Mr. Wu's thunderous shouts were heard again in the distance.

As soon as the students heard Mr. Wu's voice, they immediately broke free from the dream of eating a big family, and they all ran towards the direction of the school in a gloomy manner.

Brother Rundong believed that Mr. Wu must have heard what he said just now, but seeing that Mr. Wu didn't look at him, he chose to be silent, and Rundong would not intentionally provoke Mr. Wu, and now they have all adopted a cold war attitude, and Brother Rundong also followed his classmates into the school.

Seeing that there was no news to inquire about, I went straight home.

Brother Rundong just said that the 'Brotherhood' is a wide range of non-governmental organizations in the vicinity, these news I have heard Brother Rundong talk about before, this organization has a great influence in the vicinity, and the power is not weak, it is a kind of non-party and non-factional group spontaneously formed by some poor people, in fact, this kind of organization usually has little effect in the prosperous years, only when a certain landlord deceives people too much, this organization will call a group of people in the organization, and use the advantage of a large number of people to find the landlord to evaluate and evaluate. But once this organization arrives in a disaster year, its role will be great, when the poor people are starving to death, this organization will naturally have a lot of members, they will organize members to go to the rich to eat big households, that is, collectively begging for food, of course, in the people, in the name of the 'brotherhood' to smash and rob a lot of people, this is the 'brotherhood', this year is a disaster year, it seems that the members of the 'brotherhood' will increase a lot this year, and the activities will be frequent.

"But this matter has always been a rage in other places, far from our small remote village!"

I also understand that in fact, our small village is very closed, which is also a good and bad geographical condition, and the result of remoteness is that the good things are not our turn, but the bad things are also far away from us, so the biggest advantage of our small village is still extremely remote.

I ignored it, went home and roasted the grasshoppers, and then sent the grasshoppers to Widow Li.

I'm only five years old, and I'm only at the fourth level of condensation, so I don't have the ability to get involved in those things.

After roasting the grasshoppers, I put on five burnt yellow grasshoppers and walked towards Widow Li's house, and came to this familiar door, and listened to the same sound that there was nothing unusual inside, I pushed the door and walked in.

When I got inside, I habitually looked up at the bedside.

"Huh, Widow Li is not at the bedside. ”

In the past few years, Widow Li has been sitting on the edge of the bed almost every day, rain or shine, waiting for me, where did she go today?

Just as I was wondering, suddenly I felt movement behind me and a hand grabbing at me.

Is someone going to attack me? My first instinct was to freeze my qi and block it on that hand.

By the time I saw the limp hand, and it was as white as a green onion, I already knew who the person behind me was, it was Widow Li.

"No, if I knock Widow Li over, she will definitely know my details. ”

The fighting spirit in my hand was quickly dissipated, and I was also quickly retracting my strength, but my arm didn't have time to make a second reaction, and my arm was still stubbornly blocked on Widow Li's white soft hand.

"Smack!"

There was a soft thud.

My hand didn't hit the other party, but it just blocked Widow Lee's hand. But then came the cry of Widow Li like a dead mother.

"My mother-in-law, little ghost, little bastard, are your hands iron-beaten?"

When I turned around, I saw Widow Li holding her hands and wailing uncontrollably, I was a little embarrassed, knowing that my cultivation was about to be revealed, so annoyed that I immediately blamed Widow Li: "Who told you to sneak attack me?"

"Little ghost, kindness is not rewarded. ”

Widow Li rolled her eyes at me fiercely, then thought about it, and angrily stretched out her other snow-white hand to grab my arm, and walked towards the house, and at the same time said with a slightly smug expression: "Come with me, I'll show you something good." ”

I didn't hide from Widow Lee this time, I knew she couldn't hurt me, and besides, she didn't have to.

But my steps are a little heavy, and I don't know what kind of medicine Widow Li sells in this gourd.

Holding me a little hard, Widow Li didn't let go of her hand, but looked back at me and smiled, and then said with a slightly charming gesture: "Don't pretend to me, I know that you are cultivating the "Donggang Dou Qi Technique", but for the sake of you being so good to me, I won't tell anyone about this, you obediently follow me to the bedside." ”

(Happy National Day, have fun, hehe!)
