Chapter 439 [Not a Friend]
Fifty basins of water, even if an adult man comes to fight, he will be exhausted and out of breath after he is done.
What's more, such a young child?
When Anicee had done this, she was so tired that she seemed to be unable to stand still, her head was disheveled, and her tips were wet with beads of sweat and stuck to her face. The little face was flushed, and beads of sweat were rolling down the tip of the nose.
Especially when walking, the steps are staggering, and the steps are crooked, as if they will fall down at any moment.
But the children on the grassland have been used to falling and beating since they were children, but they can bet on hardship. When Anicee was young, her father and brother were enlisted, and they have always helped to do a lot of heavy work at home, but they are used to it. What's more, this child has witnessed the tribal tragedy, and his mind has become strong almost overnight, and his age may be effective, but when it comes to the tenacity in his heart, he is not necessarily much weaker than an adult.
Chen Daolin seemed to be hard-hearted, just sitting there, watching Anicee finish fifty basins of water and pour it all out. Then he didn't let the child rest, and directly sent her to brush the horse.
The two big horses and one pony they brought by themselves were naturally fed by mercenaries, but Chen Daolin still asked Ainisai to lead the horses to the pond to scrub.
This little person, standing in the sun, sweating, small body standing next to the tall horse, holding a huge horse brush, trying to scrub the horses - she is a herdsman, but she has been used to doing these things since she was a child, but at the moment her body is really not supported, her body is shaky, just relying on the strength in her heart to support it, her small mouth is pursed, and she is gritting her teeth to do it.
Chen Daolin sat under a poplar tree not far from the edge of the pond, avoiding the sun, squinting his eyes, and holding a water bag in his hand. Take a bite from the left and a bite from the right.
- It's really unbearable!
The mercenaries in those ranks are all young and strong men. These young people are the most vigorous, and they are all unruly on weekdays. At this moment, looking at such a big man and torturing an underage child like this, the grievances in my heart became more and more uncontrollable.
Although the mercenary captain and the leader of the caravan had told him before, saying that this person was extraordinary and should not be offended.
But everyone couldn't do anything. Can't you still talk?
The mercenaries around who were watching coldly couldn't help but start cursing in a low voice, the sound of scolding was not loud at first, but later, it seemed to be shouted loudly on purpose.
Chen Daolin heard it several times. looked over, and the other party immediately widened his eyes and made a provocative gesture - the captain said that he was not allowed to do it, but if this guy took the initiative to come, let's fight back and beat him, the captain will have nothing to say......
But Chen Daolin only smiled faintly, and then looked away, calling these fire mercenaries. There is no place to vent if there is a fire.
Even the mercenary captain, seeing it in his eyes, couldn't help but have a lot of whispers in his heart: I only felt that this noble man was too cruel to his young maid, this was simply using people as animals!
Although he knew that this noble man was an extraordinary figure of the Tulip family, and he was also a magician, and he took the initiative to help treat his subordinates last night, he still couldn't help but have some opinions in his heart at this moment.
It's just that the mercenary captain is a steady person. He didn't say anything, but just walked over and dispersed the few people who wanted to provoke him, and told them not to gnaw any more.
By evening, Anicee had finally finished her work.
Xiao Nizi was so tired that her clothes were soaked with sweat several times, and her little face was white. The mercenary who couldn't see it walked over and helped lead her horse away, and also took her horse brush away. Anice, however, struggled to retrieve the reins of his horse, smiled at the mercenary who had come to help, and led the horse to settle himself.
In the end, she returned to Chen Daolin's side and knelt respectfully in front of Chen Daolin. The shrill voice whispered, "Teacher, I'm done." ”
Chen Daolin raised his eyelids and glanced at the child, and nodded. He was a little unbearable in his heart, but then he hardened his heart, stretched out his hand, pinched the little girl's arm, and nodded: "Yes, you're not lazy, it seems that you are very tired." ”
Anice's big eyes immediately showed a little joy, as if she had been affirmed by this teacher, as if she had a great honor, and she grinned happily.
But Chen Daolin immediately said with a straight face: "Since you are already extremely tired, then don't waste this time, hurry up and practice." ”
“...... Be. Anicee nodded hurriedly, climbed up hard, took a few steps back, and stood in front of Chen Daolin......
......
The mercenaries had already started to eat dinner.
Because he had a lot of opinions about this "magician", no one took the initiative to bring him dinner this time, but a few mercenaries stood in the distance, holding a rice bowl and eating while watching there.
These mercenaries saw that the cute little girl, her body was swaying, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, but she was practicing some strange movements in front of the magician.
Kicking, bending the knees, twisting the waist......
These movements seem to be very ordinary, and some of them are knowledgeable, so they talk in a low voice, which seems to be some basic skills for those who practice dance or acrobatics. These people looked at it for a while, but they didn't see anything famous, and then they dispersed.
It's just that everyone is cursing behind their backs: Where is there such a torturous thing? After a day of tiring and heavy work, without letting people rest, they ask people to practice these hard things?
This little girl seems to be not only the maid of this noble man, but also trained as a dancing girl?
Encountering such a beast-like master, this child is really miserable.
Chen Daolin naturally knew the scolding voices around him - he was a magician, his spiritual power was slightly expanded, and within a radius of a hundred meters, no wind or grass could escape his induction.
He didn't care about any of this, just stared carefully at Anicee in front of him, watching her every movement, carefully judging the frequency of her every breath, even the rate of her heartbeat.
The ones that Anicei practiced were naturally the Great Snow Mountain Physical Technique!
That is, the so-called "Bow Moon Dance".
Of course, Chen Daolin only taught her a few of the most basic and simple introductory movements.
This set of physical techniques is specially used for cultivation, or to reshape people's physique.
Here are a few introductory moves. It seems to be ordinary, and it is very similar to some movements for practicing the basic skills of dance or acrobatics, but in fact, there are other mysteries. The mystery lies in this set of body techniques, which has its own set of special breathing methods.
While practicing these movements, it is necessary to follow the rhythm and method of breathing corresponding to each movement, in order to achieve the effect of improving the physique and reshaping the physique.
If you don't have that magical breathing method. These basic actions, in fact, are really nothing special, and it is no wonder that others can't see any clues.
Of course, Chen Daolin is not a beast, and naturally he does not like to deliberately abuse a little girl's perverted habits.
He only inadvertently realized that this little girl's physique was actually a little weak after Anicee followed him.
To be exact. Because this little Nizi lives too hard, her family is poor, malnourished, and she has to help do a lot of heavy work at home, so the child's education is obviously weak. It is commonly known as malfertility.
This Nizi's face is beautiful and shiny, Chen Daolin is not like this child who will grow up to become a rib beauty, or the kind of weak blank whose face is pale like a patient all his life.
But Anicee was nine years old. The time for children to raise is very important, and the time that is missed will be missed, and I am afraid that it may not be able to make up for it in the future.
After Chen Daolin thought about it, he decided to teach this child the "Great Snow Mountain Physical Technique", that is, the Bow Moon Dance.
He didn't want to teach Anicee to be a peerless martial arts master, but he just hoped to use the benefits of this set of body techniques to improve this child's body element, at least. It can reshape her body so that she will not have any regrets when she grows up because of malnutrition when she was a child.
In fact...... Compared to children of the same age, Anicee is already much shorter and thinner.
Xia Xia, who is also ten years old, has reached Chen Daolin's chest, while Anice has only reached Chen Daolin's stomach.
The Great Snow Mountain Body Technique is a very honing thing.
Naturally, when cultivating, you have to suffer a lot. And Anice's problem is not just physical exercise, Chen Daolin wants to make up for the hidden danger of malnutrition in the previous years of this child. He thought about it for a long time and came up with this method.
To put it simply, it is to reactivate the child's physical rearing pattern.
Do the heaviest body work first, and exhaust the body half to death—this is a process of emptying. It then activates the body's metabolism.
Then use the Great Snow Mountain Body Technique to make this process of operation completely activated, and enhance the amplitude.
What's next......
If the average person simply eats, the body may not be able to absorb much. However, after using the Snow Mountain Body Technique, the body's metabolism has been greatly enhanced!
In the evening, Chen Daolin was rare for a while, and he actually lit a fire and cooked by himself.
The dinner made by Chen Daolin was naturally much better than that of those people in the caravan.
In his storage ring, when he passed by those tribes on the grassland, he stocked up on a lot of meat, beef and mutton, barley noodles, etc., and even some tea.
Chen Daolin made a big pot of mutton and boiled another pot of batter.
The hot air is hot and the aroma is tangy!
The entire camp was alarmed, and many people couldn't help but run after the smell.
But I saw a surprising scene.
Chen Daolin, a big man, only served a small bowl of batter soup and drank it.
Anice, who was short and thin, sat cross-legged in a basin larger than her head, and in the basin lay a huge leg of mutton, which had been stewed to shreds.
Xiao Nizi ate feverishly, holding the leg of mutton in both hands and gnawing hard, eating her face full of broth and meat scraps, and finally the leg of mutton that was enough to feed two or three adults was eaten by her alone......
She threw away the leg of mutton bone, and actually drank the pot of broth one bite at a time!
This astonishing amount of food made even a few famous big-bellied men among the mercenaries secretly amazed.
This little girl's appetite is also amazing!
According to this way of eating, I am afraid that ordinary people really can't afford to raise such a maid!
"Have you eaten enough?"
Chen Daolin put down the bowl in his hand, but picked up a handkerchief, gently wiped the broth and meat scraps off Anice's face, and said with a slight smile: "Can you still eat it?"
Anicee looked straight at Chen Daolin, probably because he was full, and his face finally had a little rosiness. His eyes were also a little shy: "I'm full." ”
"Well, when you're full, just follow what I taught you, activity, not too strenuous and light, it can promote the digestion of food—well. I said it doesn't matter if you don't understand this, just keep it in mind. ”
After a pause, Chen Daolin smiled and said, "The movements I taught you are that after practicing, you will eat more, and then you can grow taller in the future." Healthier. I don't want the disciples I accept to grow up to be little dwarfs in the future. ”
"But......" Anicee was a little uneasy.
Coming from a herding background, she knew the value of food at a young age. Naturally, she also knows very well how much she eats in one meal now! If she had put it in the past, this food would have been enough for her to eat with her grandmother and brother for two or three days!
Won't this way of eating this immortal be poor?
Will he dislike himself because he eats too much? Don't do it yourself?
"Teacher...... I...... How much will you eat all the time?" Anicee was a little worried, and his eyes seemed to be a little damp again: "I...... I could have eaten less. I'll eat a little bit of it. ”
"Hahaha!" Chen Daolin laughed a few times and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm very rich, no matter how much you eat, you won't be able to eat me." Didn't you call me a fairy? Aren't the gods afraid that they won't have anything to eat?"
After a pause, Chen Daolin patiently explained: "The reason why you eat a lot now is because your body is stimulated and begins to absorb the nutrients that you have lacked in previous years. When you finish practicing the movements I taught you at this stage, you won't eat so much anymore, and at that time, the root of your body's disease will be gone, and you will eat as much as ordinary people. ”
The digestive activity after a meal is to herd sheep.
Anicee scurried up and down to pull out a few of his own sheep and ran back. Ask her fairy teacher to take out a large bundle of hay from the storage ring, and the little girl will feed her sheep with her own hands.
As for her dog, he was lying at Chen Daolin's feet. Gnaw on the leg of mutton bone left by the little girl.
......
The next day, the team was on their way.
The leader of the caravan and the captain of the mercenaries took the initiative to invite Chen Daolin to walk with the team.
After all, having such a mage in the middle of the team can also give people a lot of security.
Chen Daolin did not refuse.
The way the girl had dinner last night surprised the mercenaries. It's strange that there are many people who are upset about her, but they don't say anything.
In the hearts of these poor people, there is such a simple value: as much food as you eat, you must do as much work.
Since this little girl eats several times more food than ordinary people, it seems natural for her to do work several times heavier than ordinary people.
After a few more days of walking in the desert, the group had a completely different perception of the young magician!
In fact, there is only one reason: the cannibal mouth is short.
Walking in the desert is very hard.
One of the biggest problems is drinking water!
Although everyone is familiar with the path of this desert and can find the nearest oasis water source along the way, after all, drinking water must always be restrained.
There is a long way to go between every water source that can be replenished, and even many times, it is necessary to deliberately detour to get to the water source point to replenish the water.
Walking in the desert is not just a straight line, but you have to walk according to the distribution of water sources.
In many cases, it may only take three or five days to travel in a straight line, but if you have to take a detour to replenish the water supply, the journey becomes seven or eight days.
But...... With the addition of Chen Daolin, Yiqiē is different!
Because...... With such a magician's storage zài in the team, it is equivalent to bringing a water source with you!!
At the beginning, Chen Daolin also made this mistake, he was very puzzled to find the leader of the caravan, and asked his own question: The Northwest Corridor is obviously in the east, but why are we going north?
The caravan leader was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little puzzled how this noble man of the Tulip family could not even understand this common sense, but he had to explain it carefully.
After Chen Daolin heard this, he blinked his eyes a few times: "Go north...... Just to find a water source to replenish water?"
"Of course, if there is no water in the desert, sometimes people can die of thirst in a day. No matter how good a person is, he doesn't insist too much on a day and a half a day. We'll go north to replenish the water, enough water for us to walk for three days, and then we'll go east ......."
The caravan leader was afraid that Chen Daolin would not understand, so he simply took out a map and compared it for a while.
Chen Daolin glanced at the route map of the road and couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously straight line distance. It would take up to ten days to reach the Northwest Corridor, but the route of this route, in order to catch a few oases to replenish water, had to take a detour, showing a serpentine route - it would take a month to get out of the desert.
Chen Daolin thought for a moment. Then he said to the caravan leader, "Let the team stop, turn around, and go straight east." We don't have to look for an oasis, we go straight east - I can provide water for everyone. ”
The caravan captain was not an uninformed man, he knew that magicians had many magical abilities - he even glanced at the ring on the magician's finger. It seems that this guy is also very knowledgeable.
However, he still asked Chen Daolin out of caution: "You mean, you can afford the water for all of our team?"
"Of course. Chen Daolin nodded.
The caravan leader asked the most important question: "The water you are carrying...... How long will it take us? Don't get me wrong. I'd like to re-route. ”
Chen Daolin asked the other party how much water this team needs to consume every day.
Then he smiled: "Don't worry, the water I brought is enough for all of us for two months." ”
No more doubts!
Two months in a straight line?
I've already walked to Tulip Territory!
The caravan leader laughed, and after expressing his gratitude to Chen Daolin, he quickly ran to the front of the team and conveyed Chen Daolin's words.
So, the team cheered.
Chen Daolin immediately removed the person who was secretly despised by everyone. Became the most popular person on the team!
After all...... In the desert, whoever can provide water is the highest authority!
You don't have to take a detour for more than 20 days, and you can return to Roland more than 20 days in advance...... Suffer less than 20 days of suffering, and suffer less than 20 days of sin...... Who would say no to such a good thing?
Of course, Anicee has one more job.
Under Chen Daolin's special advice, the task of distributing water every day was distributed. It's all done to this little girl.
Watching the little girl running back and forth in the team on her short legs, pouring the water that Chen Daolin took out of the storage ring into a basin, and sending it to the people in the team one by one—there were people who were kind enough to help. was rejected by Chen Daolin.
Well, everyone came to one conclusion: this is a weirdo.
As they walked out of the desert, they came to the northwest corridor of Mount Kilimano, and the team erupted in cheers.
All the mercenaries brandished their swords, and even the people in the caravan waved their hats and turbans and cheered.
Until this moment, everyone is finally out of danger completely!
In the Northwest Corridor, on this valley road, there is a border guard post of Tulip's family!
This means "safety"!
The last time he came out, Chen Daolin didn't have the experience of crossing this "Northwest Corridor" - at that time he was knocked out by Lu Gao, and when he woke up, he was already in the desert.
On this return trip, Chen Daolin carefully observed the terrain of this "Northwest Corridor" along the way.
This is a natural gap in the Kilimaro Mountains in this section.
It was as if nature had used an invisible knife to cut this mountain range lying on the west side of Big 6 like a long dragon directly from the middle.
And this northwest corridor is the incision in the middle.
The northwest corridor is long, and the terrain is wide and narrow.
At its widest, it is even several miles...... Can accommodate the next town!
At its narrowest, it is only a few hundred meters.
The Tulip family chose several of the narrowest places, set up checkpoints, built walls, watchtowers, and soldiers stationed there.
Chen Daolin roughly estimated in his heart, and the chances of winning against the grassland people were reduced a lot again.
Even the Tulip family did nothing, only sent enough soldiers to guard the narrowest part of the Northwest Corridor, relying on the military fortress...... It's enough to stop hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of steppe cavalry!
With such a narrow valley terrain, the cavalry could not wield it at all.
It can be said that it is a one-man affair, and it is impossible to open it.
If the steppe people really pulled out more than 100,000 cavalry to attack this canyon...... Consumption alone can consume the grassland people to death!
Don't forget jì, beyond the Northwest Corridor, there's a desert!
More than 100,000 cavalry came through the desert, and once they were consumed in this northwest corridor...... Advance must not be ......
So, where do the supplies come from, when more than 100,000 people eat, drink, and lazar, and people eat and chew horses?
Do you want the steppe people to turn around and eat the sand of the desert?
In the desert, there is not even water! If hundreds of thousands of cavalry dare to cross the desert, it will be simply looking for death!
......
In October, the team arrived at the destination of the trip.
Tulip House, Loulan City!
This is the largest and most prosperous city in the northwest, known as the city of miracles.
Chen Daolin followed the team into the city, he had already dismounted and walked, holding Anice's little hand in his hand, looking at the lively shops on both sides of the street, and at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street.
At this moment, Chen Daolin suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
The last time I was here, I was surrounded by the strange man Lu Gao, who pulled himself and played up and down Loulan City, and the footprints of the two even traveled to all the places of interest in the city.
Majestic castles, noisy horse markets, lively streets, delicious street food......
Everywhere, it seems that there is a happy and strange smile of that guy Lugao.
"Teacher?"
Anicee barely even has enough eyes, where has Xiao Nizi ever seen such a prosperous and lively scene?
Even the tribe of the Prairie King on the grassland does not have such a prosperous atmosphere!
"Teacher?" Anicee was a little instinctively afraid, her small body shrunk, and she snuggled up to Chen Daolin's side: "Here...... A lot of people. ”
"Well, a lot of people. Chen Daolin smiled faintly.
"Teacher...... Is this your first time here?" asked Anice, curious.
“...... No. Chen Daolin's tone became a little complicated.
He looked at the street and whispered, "I...... It's the second time. Well, last time, it was to accompany one, one ...... A very interesting guy. ”
"Is that your friend?" said Anice, blinking.
Hearing this question, Chen Daolin actually hesitated.
Then, he smiled with relief.
"Not a friend. ”
Chen Daolin's tone suddenly became very sad: "That very proud guy...... In this world, no one is qualified to be his friend, and no one is worthy to be his friend......"
