Volume 1 Teenagers Standing on a Pile and Carrying Water
Standing to carry water
It's dawn, half of the sun's face is exposed among the red clouds, and the sun shines on the earth.
Qin Junze had finished his morning meditation and was walking to the martial arts training ground after breakfast. Along the way, there were no more greetings like "Good morning, junior uncle" and "Hello, junior junior uncle". Only occasionally someone would make fun of his junior brother.
Qin Junze also said hello to his senior brothers and sisters. He finally no longer felt so embarrassed. It was really embarrassing to be chased by a group of older people calling him uncle in the first few days after arriving.
There is a large open space in the middle of the martial arts training ground, where many people can wield swords and guns at the same time, and sect conferences will also be held here. There are also several fighting stages next to it, which are used for sparring between disciples, and weapons racks.
They are all wooden weapons. Further to the edge, there are some simple props for practicing, such as plum blossom stakes, wooden dummies, etc. The stakes here are thick and thin, and there are single and double legs. The wooden dummies are all mechanisms.
It's made and moves. There is a stand above the home court, and in the middle is where the seniors sit.
Standing next to the plum blossom pile, I watched several senior brothers and sisters squatting down with their legs bent, their hands clenching their waists. Their faces were sweating, and some of the weak calves were trembling. They looked uncomfortable.
A senior brother saw Qin Junze and walked up to him, "Uncle, oh, no, it's junior brother. You're here. The old poster has already given instructions. When you come, you can start practicing directly from the two thickest wooden stakes."
Up, but”
Qin Junze glanced at this senior brother with a strange expression, "Senior brother, it's okay, is there anything I should pay attention to?"
"I dare to ask, little junior brother, did you make the old landlord unhappy? He actually asked you to practice from the thickest to the thinnest on the first day. It took us ten and a half months to replace the second set of wooden stakes.
, my legs are hurting so much, you have just started practicing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to withstand this method of yours.”
"Well, I don't know how to stand either. Master, he also takes good care of me. Apart from not eating well in the past few days, everything else is fine."
"Hey, I hope you can have a good sleep tonight, little junior brother. Let's get on the stakes together."
After practicing for a period of time and improving his skills, Qin Junze found that getting on a wooden stake was not a big problem, because there was soft turf underneath, and it wouldn't hurt so much if it fell.
The thickest two standing on the pile were a little bigger than their feet, and the distance between them was about shoulder width. Qin Junze didn't feel anything even if he stood with his legs bent. He stared straight ahead, waiting for the next one to be replaced. He was only twenty years old.
After a few minutes, I was already gritting my teeth. It was my first time standing, and I didn’t know how to exert force on my legs, nor how to use force to balance. My legs felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn’t move. I felt so sore and swollen.
It's really not something ordinary people can endure. The most terrible thing is not that he can't stand up, but that he has to change to a wooden stake with a smaller area and continue to stand. This time, Qin Junze has trouble even climbing up, but he has to listen to the master's words.
I was so tired, I was sweating profusely, my body was soaked, and I fell down several times. The last pile, which was only the size of a fingernail, was shaking all the way. I couldn't stand steady at all. It fell down and went up sometimes.
The breakfast in the morning was all in vain.
An hour and a half passed like this. Qin Junze felt that it was longer than lying in bed a few days ago, and the skin on his feet was almost scratched. He lay motionless on the turf, breathing heavily, and did not dare to open his eyes as the sun shone on his body.
When I opened my eyes, even when I drank water, a senior brother held a glass of water and handed it to me. I waited until everyone around me had left my legs before I had the strength to stand up. Some senior brothers and sisters who were also practicing piles also took their time and watched.
The younger brother who was given the order to die by the old poster couldn't bear it but couldn't disobey the old poster's words. After he finished practicing, he could only look at it with his head tilted.
Feng Ao suddenly appeared next to Qin Junze, "How about it, you just practiced for an hour more than others, and now you're like this? Do you want to continue?"
The palm of his hand rested lightly on Qin Junze's body. As the white air rose, Qin Junze suddenly felt a soft force nourishing his body. After a while, he felt much better. At least he could stand up. Sure enough, his cultivation was so poor that he couldn't even stand up.
Even breath adjustment can't be done.
"Okay, just take it easy and get ready. I will accompany you Senior Sister Liu Ye, Senior Brother Wang Hai, and Senior Brother Li Feng to fetch water later. After resting for such a long time, everyone else who went out to transport ingredients has returned."
"Ah, I still have to carry water." Qin Junze had a lifeless expression on his face.
"Ah what, they have been waiting for you for a long time, go quickly." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
Qin Junze wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the back office of the canteen.
In the distance, three senior brothers and sisters were waiting there. Senior Brother Wang Hai saw Qin Junze's figure, with a round face and a fat body, wearing a larger robe, and raising his right hand to greet him.
When Qin Junze approached, senior brother Wang Hai said: "I've finally waited for you. I didn't even call me junior uncle, but now I call you junior brother directly. But junior brother, don't worry, except for what the old landlord arranged, we will definitely
I won’t bully my junior brother.” The smiling expression on his face made Qin Junze feel a little warm from the pain.
"It's time to set off, little junior brother, can you do it? You make people feel uneasy, why don't you take some rest secretly, we promise not to talk nonsense to the old landlord." Senior Sister Liuye really lives up to her name.
, a pair of light willow eyebrows, and a pair of big talking eyes. When the brows are furrowed, they look a bit cute no matter how you look at them.
"Yes, junior brother, you are not good at doing heavy work like this. If something happens, how are we going to explain this to the old building owner? We better listen to Liu Ye, follow us and stay out a little less when there are people.
Give me some strength." Senior Brother Li Feng was an honest man who seemed to be well-behaved, and he scratched the back of his head to come up with an idea.
"Thank you so much, brothers and sisters. It doesn't matter. I can still hold on. I should still try my best to do what the master has told me. What's more, this is just to train me. If I give up on the first day, there will be nothing to talk about in the future.
It's done. I accept the kindness of senior fellow apprentices, let's go." After all, the three of them are not direct senior fellow apprentices, so it's hard to say much.
The seventh elder, Su Qiu, walked out from behind the door, still holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, "Well, that's good. I can't stand on my legs anymore, but I can still have the perseverance to continue. I can teach you." A melon seed was thrown into his mouth.
Inside, I turned around and entered the dining hall not knowing what to do.
In addition to all the mountain springs in Tianji Tower, most of the water used by Tianji Tower is taken from the snowmelt stream of Lotus Peak. Disciples are sent out to fetch water every day. Although it seems that there is not much need, this may be part of what Tianji Tower teaches disciples.
Find a way.
A group of four people carried eight empty buckets and walked on the bluestone road in the forest. In order to take care of the little junior brother who was so slow even with empty buckets, the three of them chatted while walking, pretending to be leisurely and not caring at all.
What time looks like.
"Junior brother, why do you think the old poster trains you so hard? The future is still very long, and your talent is so good. If you work so hard, if something unexpected happens, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" Senior Brother Wang Hai asked as he stepped up his legs.
"Perhaps the master has other intentions. The master must have his reasons. He has no repayment for my great kindness and has taken great pains to take care of me. He will not harm me. I believe that one day he will understand.
"
"By the way, junior brother, besides practicing martial arts, do you plan to learn anything else? You are very likely to become the next landlord of our Tianji Building in the future. I was adopted and grew up in the building since I was a child.
Both the poster and the poster are always running away. I don’t like being the poster. I think my junior brother must be great." Senior Sister Liuye asked with her big eyes blinking.
Qin Junze looked at the sky and walked slowly, not knowing what he was thinking. "Senior sister, I shouldn't succeed as the host."
"Why, if you can accept a world-famous "lunatic" as your heir, there will definitely be no problem with your talent, character and even all aspects. Furthermore, when the original poster was forced to take over as the poster, the old poster said that he would solve it as soon as possible.
It’s a question of the previous poster.”
"My master knew what I was thinking when I entered the apprenticeship, but he didn't seem angry at all. He didn't even have a surprised expression. It was as if he had known it for a long time."
"Who is the old landlord? I don't know what plans I discussed with the seniors outside this time. Their thoughts are actually those of us who are new to the cottage. Uh, no, the yellow-haired boys who have just entered the thatched cottage can guess it.
Alas, it's useless to think too much." Li Feng suddenly sighed, it is true that he is more sentimental when he is older.
The stream is halfway up the mountainside of Lianhua Peak. The snow on the top of the mountain melts to form a waterfall flowing down. It looks crystal clear, reflecting the purity and beauty of the surrounding area.
With two large buckets of water added to his body, Qin Junze suddenly felt that he could hardly lift his shoulders. Fortunately, the road was paved with bluestones. If it had been a muddy road, it would have been difficult to walk.
"Junior brother, are you okay? Why don't you lose some water?"
Qin Junze gathered his energy and said dully, "It doesn't matter, I can do it."
Just walking step by step, really step by step.
Although the other three were also panting, they were not as strenuous as Qin Junze. They occasionally looked back, fearing that Qin Junze would fall behind. Although they gritted their teeth and staggered forward, they could not keep up with them. The three people in front could not keep up with them.
I wanted to chat with my junior brother to divert my attention, but when I looked back and saw that he was about to fall to the ground at any moment, I still didn't dare to say a word, so I had to slow down, just in time for the three of me to take a break.
When they returned to the building, it was already past lunch time. As soon as he put down the bucket, Qin Junze fainted. Liu Ye and the others almost screamed, but an afterimage flashed past. Feng Ao had already supported him and held him with one hand.
Slowly lay him down on the ground and pick up the prepared salt water with one hand, "Liu Ye, come here and pour the salt water into his mouth. Remember, you must do it slowly."
"okay."
Liu Ye supported Qin Junze, put the mouth of the bamboo tube against his lips, and slowly fed him one bite at a time. Feng Ao slapped his back with his right hand, and the internal energy poured into his limbs, making Qin Junze swallow involuntarily.
Salt water. After feeding the water, Feng Ao waved, "That's enough. You theatergoers can carry him back to his room. I'll have someone make four lunches and send them to his room. You watch him. If
When you wake up, you need to drink water. Remember not to give it to him. Let him do his exercises first, and then let him drink water after his physical weakness gets better. "
