Back at the hut, Grandpa Tao put down the medicine basket and said to Wang Yan, "This afternoon, let's make some preparations." Originally, I didn't care about teaching you this, but you can't even climb a tree today, so you can't avoid some dangers in the forest. Therefore, after consideration, I decided that in the future, I will take you out to collect medicine every morning, teach you the basic skills of survival in the afternoon, and learn to read and write in the evening. ”

"Great!" Wang Yan cheered excitedly. As soon as he thought that he could be like Grandpa Tao in the future, he could climb to the top of the big tree at will and pick all kinds of fruits he liked, Wang Yan's heart was excited.

If you are tempted, you must act immediately.

In a vacant lot behind the hut, Grandpa Tao dug a small pit and let Wang Yan jump in. This pit just accommodates Wang Yan's two legs, reaching a depth of knees, "Yan'er, you try to jump out, don't use your hands." Grandpa Tao said. "Hmm," Wang Yan agreed, and began to jump out. Who knew that as soon as his legs were strained, his knees instinctively bent, and when he touched the mouth of the pit, his body lost his balance and immediately sat on the ground, but his legs were still in the pit and did not come out.

"Keep jumping. Grandpa Tao looked at Wang Yan and encouraged him.

Standing up again, Wang Yan focused on his legs this time and jumped again. This time the knee was not bent, but the jump height was much lower, and he still couldn't jump out of the pit.

What's going on? Wang Yan looked at this big pit, there was no reason why he couldn't jump out. With a spirit of not admitting defeat, Wang Yan, who danced seventeen or eighteen times in a row, and finally found some tricks, jumped out of the pit after failing many times. Grandpa Tao looked at Wang Yan with a smile, nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's better than I imagined." From tomorrow onwards, you will jump out of the pit like this, three hundred times a day, remember to jump continuously. ”

"What, you have to jump 300 times a day?" Wang Yan was surprised. "Yes, you heard it right. Not once. I'll be on your sidelines. Grandpa Tao replied very calmly: "And this is only one of them." I saw that stone, it weighed fifty pounds, I found it from the river, and the surface was smooth. Now try to lift it above your head, with a gentle grip and no throwing it on the ground. “

Wang Yan walked to the stone that Grandpa Tao said, bent down and picked up the stone. After many years of chopping wood, I still have some strength in my arms. However, the stone is smooth and easy to hold, so it is not easy to lift it above the head. If you don't have edges and corners, you can't hold the stone firmly with your hands, and when you lift it above your head, you must be careful not to deviate from the center of gravity of your body. Carefully lift the stone and put it down. Just this time, Wang Yan's head was sweating.

"Good. Grandpa Tao stroked his beard: "Let's also practice three hundred times a day." “

"Plop", hearing Grandpa Tao's words, Wang Yan sat on the ground: "Grandpa, you won't let me live?"

Looking at Wang Yan, who was playing a little temper, Grandpa Tao stepped forward and pulled him up: "The forest is very dangerous, you must have perseverance to train yourself." As he spoke, he pointed to the seventy-two wooden stakes that were half a meter high and each one meter apart, forming six plum blossom shapes, and said: "This is a plum blossom pile, some of these stakes are strong, some are buried, you have to walk on them for an hour every day, and you are not allowed to fall down." ”

"But, Grandpa Tao, what's the use of you letting me practice these?" Wang Yan was a little puzzled.

"Of course it worked. Grandpa Tao replied affirmatively, "In the mountains, some precious herbs are grown on the cliffs, and if you don't have enough strength in your hands and feet, how can you climb up and pick them? In the forest, sometimes you can't walk on the ground, you have to jump from tree to tree like a monkey, and without a good bouncing power and balance, you can only fall down from the tree." Moreover, you can often encounter some fierce beasts in the woods, and if you don't have strong skills, how will you face the attacks of fierce beasts?"

After hearing these words, Wang Yan felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately practiced according to the requirements. In fact, Grandpa Tao didn't tell the truth, he knew martial arts, and he taught Wang Yan to practice some basic skills of martial arts for martial arts people who walked the rivers and lakes. The reason why he did this was that he also hoped that Wang Yan would not be bullied by bad people after leaving the forest in the future.

Watching Wang Yan start practicing in earnest, Grandpa Tao was not idle, he mixed the juice of some plants together, mixed it into a colored liquid, and made two homemade brushes. He was going to teach Wang Yan to write and read at night, and it would not work without culture.

Under Grandpa Tao's careful arrangement, Wang Yan lived a very fulfilling life every day. When he was able to jump out of a pit deeper than his height, when he could easily lift a boulder weighing 200 catties with his hands, and when he could walk on the ground on a plum blossom pile, he also learned to write thousands of words, learned hundreds of herbs, and how to heal people by looking, smelling, and inquiring about them.

Now Wang Yan has long been able to climb trees, and with Grandpa Tao's order, he can quickly climb a tree more than ten meters high, and easily jump to another tree through branches. When the distance between trees is too far, he swings to another tree with the help of rattans. Grandpa Tao was very satisfied, Wang Yan learned and mastered the skills in a much shorter time than he expected, because the time had just passed more than a year.

It's time to learn new skills, Grandpa Tao took out an iron bow from under the bed, "This is what Grandpa used when he was young, and it worked very well to shoot beasts from a distance." It's time for me to pass it on to you. ”

Wang Yan followed the example of his grandfather, took an arrow made of a tree branch, and shot at a big tree more than 30 meters away, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew past the big tree and fell into the grass in the distance.

"Don't worry, practice slowly. Keep your mind still, your hands steady, your eyes sharp, remember the essentials, and practice diligently. Grandpa Tao was guiding beside him.

Wang Yan, who is diligent and hard-working, has achieved results quickly. When he had already shot at a stationary target, Grandpa Tao picked up a pile of stones and began to throw them into the air one by one, allowing him to shoot at the moving target. When these were also done, Wang Yan's eyes were blindfolded again, and he practiced listening and distinguishing the position, and performed blind shooting. He shoots arrows on flat ground, shoots arrows in trees, shoots arrows on the run, day or night, sunny or windy or rainy, he can shoot accurately at the target. This skill is no longer difficult for Wang Yan.

"Today, I'm taking you to practice catching fish. The purpose of this is to make you understand that what you see with your eyes is not right at all times, and the other is to learn to swim in the water. Grandpa Tao led Wang Yan to a stream, pointed to the fish in the water and said, "This stream is deep and shallow, the current is fast and slow, you have to learn to catch fish accurately anywhere." Remember to catch it only by hand, and you can't hurt the fish. ”

Wang Yan waded barefoot into the stream, which was up to his knees, and the rapidity of the stream here hindered Wang Yan's movement. The stones under your feet have also become very smooth due to the constant washing of the stream, so you have to be careful with every step. The fish in the water are very clever, and often swim away quickly without waiting for Wang Yan to get close. After a long time, he finally approached a fish, Wang Yan saw the position, quickly made a move, and splashed himself with the splash caused by his hands entering the water. I thought that I would be able to catch a fish if I didn't move slowly, but I didn't even touch the fish with my empty hands, how could this be?

"Take an arrow and stick it in the water. Facing Wang Yan with a puzzled face, Grandpa Tao reminded. "Ahh

"It's the refraction of sunlight on the surface of the water, and when you see the fish on the surface, it's not really where the fish are in the water. You have to be observant. ”

How reasonable Grandpa Tao's words are. Wang Yan began to carefully judge the true position of the fish in the water, and kept practicing, summarizing and correcting every mistake in time. Finally, after a shot, both hands touched the fish, but the frightened fish ran away.

"It's still not good, the fish is slippery, and it's in the water, you have to catch the fish empty-handed, the strength is small, the fish can break free and run away, and if the strength is big, it may catch the fish to death. Grandpa didn't let the fish hurt, hey, I had to find a way. Wang Yan couldn't catch fish every day, and he always made his clothes wet, and he felt very uncomfortable wearing them, so he simply stopped wearing clothes.

Wang Yan wanted to catch a fish, and felt that he should first observe the movement of the fish in the water. So how do you observe it? He dives his whole body into the water, holding only a hollow straw that sticks out of the water in his mouth and breathes. When he was done, he stayed motionless in the water and watched the fish swim around him. Slowly, Wang Yan found that the fish only swam forward in the water, and if they were deliberately alarmed, the frightened fish would always scatter and quickly rush out in front of their movement.

This discovery made Wang Yan very happy. He thought that if he put his hands together and catch the fish from the head, the wider part of the fish would be stuck in his hand as it moved forward. As long as the amount of force used in the hand is appropriate, it will not hurt the fish.

Wang Yan, who thought of this method, immediately tested it in the water. Not to mention, it's really good, catching several fish in a row. However, Grandpa Tao, who was standing on the shore, did not admit it: "You can only be regarded as opportunistic in this way, and the fish caught in this way do not count." You have to do what I ask you to catch from the water. ”

Halo, if you catch it from the water according to your own way, then not only to accurately judge the position of the fish head, but also to ensure that the hands are in a closed state, but also to be able to attack very quickly, a little bit of bad cooperation, then can only look at the fish sigh.
