Chapter 25: Family Worries
Swish!
Angry, I slashed out, but the firewood knife grazed the back of the big grasshopper and slashed over, missing! This is not surprising, the body of the grasshopper is only slightly longer than the fingers, it is difficult to cut, and at the same time the object flying in the air is not easy to hit, I want to cut it, in addition to considering the direction of my own knife to chop, but also to consider the flight speed of the big grasshopper, but also need the cooperation and coordination between my hands and eyes to reach the same, in order to cut the grasshopper in the air, okay, while it has not fallen, my anger has not disappeared, continue to cut.
Boom! Boom! Click!
After five cuts, the big fat grasshopper was finally slashed by me and fell off.
I snorted heavily at the big grasshopper that had been in a different place, and felt a little more comfortable, although it was indiscriminately chopped, but the anger in my heart was still gone, and after thinking about it, I still picked up this half of the big fat grasshopper, which can also be used as dinner, hey! Poor children, that's how they calculate their lives.
I picked up the grasshopper, but when I saw the neat section of the big grasshopper's body, I was suddenly stunned, and an idea suddenly jumped in my heart.
"When I catch grasshoppers every day, why can't I catch them this way?"
"Either I have to catch grasshoppers every day, I used to catch grasshoppers when I was young to train my physical strength and physical flexibility, but now, I think catching grasshoppers is a trivial matter for me, these things now make me unable to practice, it will only delay my time, but I have to do it for my livelihood, and if I use a knife to cut, this can not only solve my protein needs, but also practice my knife skills. ”
"If I can really practice, every knife will be able to cut the grasshopper flying in the air, this ability is enough to defy the sky!"
"Haha! This may be my self-created knife technique! No matter what else, let's name it first, it's called Ling Feng Grasshopper Knife! Haha. My grasshopper knife is about to be released!"
My joy is palpable.
Before, I was still entangled in Brother Rundong's affairs, but now I am full of my own creative surprises.
Although I know that the Ling Feng Grasshopper Knife is just a beautiful idea now, where will it be so easy to slash the flying grasshopper with a knife? But I also know that now I am young, only two years old, and what I have is time, but what I lack is the resources for training, and now I can find that this kind of training method is tantamount to those rich children who have a large group of sparring partners at home, and my sparring is better, which can not only help me train, but also help me solve my livelihood problems.
This is the right balance between cultivation and making a living.
Thinking of this, I began to take the usual path, where there is more grass, I will go.
"Tutu Tu Tu ~~"
When I heard another grasshopper flying, I rushed forward as soon as possible, and the firewood knife flew like snowflakes beside me, and the cold light was shining.
But there's nothing to be proud of, and the more fierce the dance, the more I haven't slashed the guy flying in the air.
"Bang!"
The big fat grasshopper was planted headlong in the ground.
It seems that the first grasshopper just now was an unlucky guy, and I was hacked to death by five knives when I first arrived, and most of them were blindfolded and unintentionally chopped.
Seeing that the grasshopper had fallen to the ground and was panting, I didn't grab it and stabbed it in the ass with a knife.
"Fly, it's time to take off, don't be lazy!"
The big grasshopper was so frightened that it didn't wait to pant evenly, kicked its hind legs violently, and suddenly flew into the sky.
I followed after him and continued to use the blade to blow lightning and thunder, bloody rain and wind beside this guy.
Damn, I didn't hit the second time, until the third time, the big grasshopper was so tired that it was flying around in the air, obviously out of breath, and it flew much slower, which would be easier for me to cut.
"Click!"
The third knife, I finally freed it.
I wiped the sweat on my forehead, it seems that the accuracy of my knife is still far behind! But don't worry, as long as I realize the problem, it is an opportunity for me to improve quickly, continue to look for grasshoppers, this kind of training will be of great help to the actual combat in the future, because in actual combat, no enemy will stand there like a stake waiting for you to cut, all are moving, if I can practice to cut the grasshopper accurately, in the future against the enemy, then in the battle against the enemy, isn't it cut where you want?
At the age of two, I don't have a sparring partner now, and now the grasshopper has become my best target.
Keep up the hard work!
It was only when I walked straight to our village that I stopped this training so that no one could see my current strength, but along the way I had already cut down twelve more grasshoppers and slashed no less than three hundred knives.
When I arrived in the village, I remembered what I was struggling with before, that is, the problem of Brother Rundong's whereabouts.
I have already made a decision in my heart, let's help Rundong hide this matter, just let him spend the night outside, and I will go to see him tomorrow before making a decision.
When I got home, there was still some time, so I practiced for a while, so that the evening was ushered in, and I spent the night in apprehension and tossing and turning.
Early the next morning, as soon as my mother left after breakfast, I took a firewood knife and ran to the back hill where Brother Rundong was.
The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the blades of grass were still hanging with crystal morning dew, and my figure quickly swept through the grass, because I was short, and the dew on the blades of grass had wet my entire pants, but I was still running fast, worried about whether there would be any accidents in Rundong.
Hopefully my worries are unwarranted.
When I ran to the place where Brother Rundong was resting yesterday, I saw that Rundong was meditating and cultivating with his eyes closed, and I was relieved.
While he was meditating, I adjusted my breath.
Rundong has always practiced in the way of meditation, which is commonly known as the cultivation method of the gentry fighting spirit, I believe that Brother Rundong must also know the difference between the cultivation method of the gentry and the cultivation method of the warrior's fighting spirit, but he has always insisted on using the cultivation method of the gentry fighting spirit. This is also where I think he sometimes always wants to show that he has a sense of superiority, and I am not interested in this anymore, Rundong is now a child who is less than ten years old, and children at this stage need a little pride.
And I believe that the reason why Rundong is cultivating now is probably pretending to show me, he is trying to explain to me that he doesn't want to compromise now, he still wants to be strong, and he also wants to prove that his current choice is correct.
But seeing Rundong at this moment, now my heart has calmed down, it seems that there is nothing to spend one night on the mountain, I am afraid that I can spend the second night, it seems that this neighborhood is really safe.
"Brother Rundong, I'm here to bring you food. ”
I shouted down the hillside, and shook a dozen roasted grasshoppers in my hand, and the poor family had nothing to eat, and it was already a delicacy to have, and it was a good thing to entertain guests.
Rundong opened his eyes, smiled at me, and said, "Ling Feng is here, I'm not hungry yet." ”
This is a child's way of being strong, I ignored it directly, shoved the grasshopper into his hand, and said directly: "Brother Rundong, the people in the village found you for most of the night yesterday, you better go back." ”
Brother Rundong choked in his throat and looked up into the distance, he didn't answer my question, in fact, I guessed that his heart was already shaking, not necessarily the harsh environment on the mountain made him afraid, but the loneliness and loneliness of being alone in the mountains is unimaginable to others, and even more so for a child. And I believe that now Rundong has also understood in his heart that the current situation is still not what he wants, the right to speak he wants, the respect he wants, and he can't be expressed in this empty mountain, it's just that his stubborn self-esteem makes him refuse to bow his head.
Of course, I persuaded Brother Rundong for a while, but then, he only talked to me about the heroes in "The Legend of the Water Tiger Soul Power", and said that he was very suitable for living in the mountains, seeing this, I knew that I couldn't persuade him today, so I chatted with Brother Rundong for a while, and I went to cut my grasshopper again.
At noon, he gave Widow Li a grasshopper, then went home to eat and practice in the afternoon.
It was a day like business for me.
But the sound of running footsteps in the village from time to time made my heart feel calm.
When it was almost evening, I said that I couldn't enter the meditative state, no matter how I tried, I knew, in fact, there seemed to be a fire burning in my heart, after thinking about it, I walked out of the house and walked towards Brother Rundong's house, I don't know, how is Brother Rundong's family now, I believe they must be more anxious than me now.
When I arrived at the door of Brother Rundong's house, I saw that this courtyard, which can usually be said to be relatively deserted, now has many people, but only women and children, and the men have already gone up the mountain to find Rundong again, and the women in the village have come to visit and persuade Mrs. Run.
It is completely different from the almost meanness outside Runyuan, Mrs. Run's personality can be said to be recognized as a first-class good in the village, she is kind, and often sees which family can't stand it, and will help some poor families, and when I was born, the time when Brother Rundong sent food was instructed by Mrs. Run, it can be said that Rundong's kindness and sympathy for the weak are more influenced by his mother, in one point, Rundong is not like his father.
But who is Brother Rundong's almost stubbornness?
There were already a lot of children playing in this courtyard, they were brought by the women of the village, so I mixed in with them, no one noticed my arrival, and I walked directly into the main house of the Run family through the courtyard, there were already many people in this house, and no one cared about me as a two-year-old.
When I entered the house, I saw that there were many people sitting in the house, all of them were women from the village, and my mother was among them, and in the crowd, there was a woman about thirty years old, with a slightly round face, and a little resemblance to Rundong between her eyebrows, was Mrs. Run, looking at her clothes, she was so simple that she was no different from the women in the surrounding villages, and she could not see that she was the mistress of this big house, and she was wiping her tears with tears in her eyes at the moment. Usually she feels extremely friendly and auspicious, but at this moment, she seems to have suddenly aged a lot.
"Mrs. Run, don't be sad, I believe that the people in the village will find Rundong soon, don't cry. Someone next to her persuaded Mrs. Run.
Mrs. Run wiped away her tears again, and said in a trembling voice: "This is already the second day, if this child should have been found nearby, could it be ......?"
"Mrs. Run, don't think about it, Rundong is such a good child, Jiren has his own nature, there will be no accidents, you can rest assured. The people next to him hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Run's words, everyone came here just to not let Mrs. Run think about things badly, but the people in the village also knew that a child ran into the mountains for two days and still couldn't find it, this danger can be imagined
