As soon as Zuo Aoran heard that he had the opportunity, he immediately agreed: "Okay! This is easy to handle."
Li Yan said: "Wait a minute, let me make it clear first. There is something special about carrying this water. When you leave the temple, the water in the ditch in front of you is not good. After you leave the temple, walk to the front mountain and pass through Zhuhuling.
, over a ridge, there is a mountain stream, this mountain stream is called Langya River. There is a small river below Langya River, and we like to drink the water from that river."
Zuo Aoran had never been there, but he had heard about it, and thought to himself: "I have something to do this time. The river is so far away from here. It takes more than a hundred miles to go back and forth over mountains and ridges."
.To carry a load of water within a hundred miles, you have to carry four tanks, which is not an easy job! However, this is what my teacher told me, so I dare not disobey it." Zuo Aoran nodded and said: "Okay!"
Li Yan found the handyman and gave Zuo Aoran a pole and a pair of buckets. When Zuo Aoran looked at the pole and then the bucket, he was a little dumbfounded. The bucket and the water tank were about the same size.
The two buckets were numbered, and the pole was still made of iron. Not to mention carrying water, just the pole and the bucket were too much for even a weak person to lift. Tong Lin couldn't complain, he said in his heart: "Maybe it's
This bucket is so big that ordinary shoulder poles can't bear it, so I used iron." Zuo Aoran nodded and said, "Okay! That's it." Zuo Aoran didn't mean to embarrass himself at all.
When the sky turned around, it was still dark. Zuo Aoran inquired about the route and went down the mountain with a bucket. After climbing over the mountains and ridges, he finally found the river. He filled it with water and started walking back. If
It doesn't take much effort, it's just fooling people.
Think about it, most people can't breathe while walking on a mountain road, let alone carrying a load of water! The iron pole made a "squeaking" sound under the pressure. Zuo Aoran was sweating profusely! He thought to himself:
"I can't finish these four tanks of water even in the middle of the night!" Another thought: "This may be the master's test of me. I can't say it's difficult! Nothing is difficult in the world, but I'm afraid of being dishonest. No matter how tired or hard it is, I will
We have to complete the task." Just like that, Zuo Aoran worked all morning and filled two tanks of water.
When it was time to eat at noon, he just grabbed a handful of rice and didn't even take a break. He picked up the pole and bucket and turned around to leave. This afternoon was non-stop until dark! Zuo Aoran picked up three more dishes for his clothes.
Tanks of water. Zuo Aoran couldn’t see it! There were three more tanks! He spread the black dryer and worked until the middle of the night, and finally filled eight tanks of water. Zuo Aoran gritted his teeth again and picked out another load of water.
The rich one was placed next to him, while Zuo Aoran, who was too tired, couldn't even get on the bed. His joints seemed to be falling apart, his teeth were grimacing in pain, and his facial features were moving.
It worked fine on the first day! I finished it in one vigorous effort. What should I do on the second day? What should I do on the third day? When Zuo Aoran saw it, his ankle was almost crooked and swollen.
At this time, Li Yan came. He was very satisfied after looking at it and shouted: "Ao Ran!"
"Master!" Zuo Aoran responded.
Li Yan said: "If you are tired, take a rest tomorrow!"
"Not tired!" Zuo Aoran said.
Li Yan said: "I see that you don't look good. I'm afraid your shoulders and legs are in pain?"
Zuo Aoran said: "Well...a little bit, it doesn't matter. I have strong bones and everything will be fine after I sleep."
Li Yan laughed and said, "Okay! If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, don't force it."
"Yes, master." Zuo Aoran responded.
The next day, Zuo Aoran stood up against the stars and quit! Is that a manly man? You can't retreat despite the difficulties! Grit your teeth, go with this intention, risk yourself, and choose this
The water walked back. Whenever Zuo Aoran felt uncomfortable, he would scold himself, as harsh as it was, and encourage himself. You see, this person's spirit is dominant. If he encouraged himself like this, his energy would immediately rise.
, not so tired anymore, Zuo Aoran gritted his teeth and filled the eight tanks with water again. What puzzled Zuo Aoran was that he didn’t see anyone using the water. How come the bottom of the tank was facing up and all the water was there?
Where did he go? I kept an eye on him, but he kept an eye on him. Then I thought again, what do I want to do? I'll just take care of it!
Zuo Aoran carried water like this for half a year. At first, he suffered from his old nose, but later on, the more he carried the water, the lighter and lighter he became. After two months, he was carrying the water as if nothing happened.
, climbing uphill and over ridges as if walking on flat ground, with these weights weighing on his shoulders, Zuo Aoran did not take it seriously, Li Yan observed in secret, nodded secretly: "Okay! Okay! If a person has no determination, then it is
Nothing has been accomplished, Ao Ran really has a few tricks up his sleeve, I really didn’t have the wrong apprentice!”
Li Yan called Zuo Aoran to his side again and said, "You don't have to pick this water anymore. Someone will pick it from now on. I'm looking for some new work for you."
"Hey, what kind of job do you want?" Zuo Aoran said.
Li Yan said: "This rice is sticky for dozens of people to eat. It's a bit out of supply now. How about you? Help pound the rice." There is a gold shell on the outside of the rice. Usually, tools are used to remove the shell. Li Yan stipulated it.
Don't use tools, use Zuo Aoran's palms and fists.
There was a big vat in front of him, with a rice bag beside it. Put the rice in it and pound it with your hands. After two days of no use, Zuo Aoran's hands were swollen like steamed buns, and even the skin was gone, and they hurt.
Zuo Aoran was sweating all over. After Li Yan found out, he quickly brought the medicine and asked Zuo Aoran to apply the medicine and wash his hands with the medicine every day. I don't know what kind of medicine it was, but the swelling disappeared as soon as he washed it, and continued the next day.
I pounded the rice as soon as it was dry, and pounded it for half a year.
Zuo Aoran's hands were washed when they were torn, and they were torn again after they were washed. They were turned over and over hundreds of times. Looking at Zuo Aoran's hands again, they looked different. Zuo Aoran's hands were so thick.
It's big, and the skin on your hands is very strong, as if you're wearing a pair of gloves. It takes no effort at all to pound the rice. It's cleaner and faster than pounding with tools.
Half a year later, Li Yan told Zuo Aoran: "Stop pounding rice and find some new work."
"What kind of work?" Zuo Aoran was very confused. When Zuo Aoran followed Li Yan to the back room, Zuo Aoran was dumbfounded again. Zuo Aoran saw that there were two large ceramic basins there, both of which looked like shredded tofu.
, strips more than one meter long, with donkey skin, horse skin, cowhide, etc.
They were all cut very evenly, but these leather strips were all glued together. Once the glue dried, they were all in clumps, as if they had grown together. Li Yan told Zuo Aoran, "These leather strips are all glued together."
We are of use, and you, bring a small stool here to sit on. When you are full and have nothing to do, just tear off the leather strips one by one. We are of use, and this thing can be turned into money."
"Oh, that's it!" Zuo Aoran said it was easy to say, but hard to do.
Zuo Aoran was dumbfounded as soon as he untied the leather strip with his fingers. The leather strip was tightly glued, how could it be torn open? Li Yan stipulated that no other instruments could be used, and a knife could not be used to bend it.
Bend it, pick it with a pointed tool, it won't work.
Zuo Aoran's hands were worn out again, especially the fingers. The pain was heartbreaking. Li Yan gave Zuo Aoran some medicine and washed him with medicinal water. After he healed, he still tore. That's it, Zuo Aoran
Ran finally tore out the strips of leather one by one.
Just after tearing off one batch, another batch was brought in. He gave the dart glue to the dart who had found one piece, and told Zuo Aoran that he had to tear it out one by one. Zuo Aoran agreed and continued to tear off his leather strips.
Zuo Aoran just tore off the leather strip and continued to tear it off for half a year.
