It was another early morning, when it was just dawn, Mrs. Wang started to light a fire to cook, added water to the pot and put rice in it. After the pot boiled, she bent down and took out two eggs from behind the firewood pile, washed them and threw them away.
Got in.
After half an hour, the aroma of rice came out of the pot and the porridge was ready.
Mrs. Wang carefully took out the eggs and put them into a bowl of cold water. When she was serving a bowl of rice, Wang Li walked into the kitchen.
"Mom, I'm here to help."
After Wang Li finished speaking, he walked to a corner, squatted down and opened the lid of a soil jar, reached out and grabbed two saltwater radishes.
Mrs. Wang glanced at it, took off the cutting board from the wall and handed it over, saying: "Then I will take the rice out first. You should be careful when using the knife."
"Um."
Wang Li responded, took the cutting board, poured a ladle of water and rinsed it. When Wang turned around and entered the kitchen for the second time, Wang Li was already rinsing the kitchen knife.
At the dinner table, Wang Li swallowed an egg that his mother had peeled in two mouthfuls, then picked up the bowl and took a mouthful of rice porridge, and began to plan today's itinerary in his mind.
Today he woke up from hunger at midnight.
Yesterday, when Wang Li returned home from the Youdeer Forest, he went to the creek where he used to catch fish. When he lifted up the fishing net, he found that there was nothing in it except some weeds and black-shelled water turtles.
Thinking of the injured deer scared away by the blue bird in the woods, Wang Li thought it was bad luck. After going home for dinner, he sat on the bed and continued practicing.
To Wang Li's surprise, before falling asleep last night, he was able to successfully run the first exercise chart for a complete week, and a trace of energy was flowing slightly in his body.
According to the explanations on the mental method, this is the characteristic of entering the first level of physical training for the first time.
There are three exercise diagrams, each diagram corresponds to a level of realm. When all three diagrams are completed, it will be the third level of body training. At that time, he can go to see Uncle Zhang.
At that moment, his heart felt hot, and he tried to continue practicing. However, after several attempts, he found that the energy he had just generated in his body could only circulate in his body for a week before settling down. After forcibly stimulating it, he immediately felt
Feeling dizzy.
Knowing that he had made the mistake of having haste makes waste, Wang Li fell asleep. Unexpectedly, at the middle of the night, he woke up with unbearable hunger.
You don't need to think about it to know the reason, but Wang Li didn't expect that his body's reaction would be so honest after the initial results of the exercise.
Lying in bed, Wang Li endured his hunger and began to think about how to improve his food as soon as possible. Without good flesh and blood to supplement his body, his practice would be impossible.
It stands to reason that business without capital is the fastest, and the two gangsters last time are ready examples. However, everyone in the village is from the countryside, and they are all poor.
There were two rich owners over there in the thatched cottage, but he couldn't afford to offend them.
He went to town to get work. Although he had some means at present, after knowing another aspect of the world, he felt that the risk was too high.
He still has to go hunting by himself. After daybreak, he has to go to the hunters. There are two old hunters who work part-time as medicine collectors, and they should have some good things in their hands.
The second level of physical training requires a medicine guide, and he also has to learn how to pick medicine.

Inside the thatched cottage.
Qin Hong and Wu Yu knelt down to Mr. Wu together and said loudly: "Thank you, Uncle Wu, for your support!"
Mr. Wu nodded with a smile and said: "Get up, your brother has obtained the entrance quota, and all the methods of building the foundation and forging the body have been taught to you. Whether you succeed or not depends on you."
"Then you don't have to stay here with me, you can go back to the state and county."
Qin Hong looked solemn, lowered his head and said, "Uncle Wu, I plan to practice here in the thatched cottage."
Wu Yu also said: "Like my cousin, I will stay here, and at the same time I can serve Uncle Wu and Uncle Lin!"
Mr. Wu shook his head slowly and said: "It's useless for you to stay here. I'm just the guide who submitted your quota, not your teacher. I won't give you any guidance on practice."
"That Senior Uncle Lin will not give you any help either."
Wu Yu's eyes were stunned when he heard that. After classes started in the morning, his uncle took them to the guest room alone to meet Sister Bao'er, that is, Uncle Lin. He was speechless at that time.
This uncle took a lot of good things from him, and also spent a lot of pocket money on him.
You must know that since he and his cousin came to the thatched cottage, his uncle only gave the two brothers a total of 300 fen per month. Later, when he met Wang Li, he had to give out dozens of fen from time to time in order to pay for his homework.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of living supplies in Yiying, but he just felt uncomfortable and panicked.
Many thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Wu Yu secretly glanced at his cousin standing next to him, wondering how he should respond to his uncle's words.
Qin Hong had already raised his head and responded: "Uncle Wu, I know that the sect has its own rules. My father has already prepared all the resources for foundation building and body forging. My nephew feels that it is nothing for him to practice in the thatched cottage or go back to the county.
the difference."
"And after I go back, some friends in the family will definitely come to inquire about the news, so my nephew feels that staying here in the thatched cottage will be more peaceful."
Wu Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It was his cousin who had thought carefully.
There are so many guys in the clan who want to enter the mountain gate. If they know that they have got a spot, many people will definitely go crazy with jealousy. When the time comes to ask for favors from relatives, it will definitely be troublesome for the family to deal with it.
My cousin is right, it's quiet here, and the resources needed for practice have been prepared for me at home. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not.
Mr. Wu looked at Qin Hong and didn't know what he thought of. He sighed quietly and said: "You think more than I did back then. With this kind of thought, as long as you make the right choice in the future, you will definitely not be as popular in the clan as I am."
tired."
Qin Hong and Wu Yu were startled at the same time.
Mr. Wu waved his hand and said, "Go out. You don't have to attend classes with those children anymore. Practice hard and don't slack off. If you two are interested, you can have more contact with Wang Li."
Um?
What does the clan uncle’s explanation mean?
Why mention that boy Wang Li?
Wu Yu looked confused and was about to ask, but Qin Hong pulled him to kneel down and kowtow, saying: "My nephew, I will obey your instructions!"
~~~~~~~~
On the west side of the village, Wang Li walked towards a stone house carrying a small wine jar.
In front of the door of the stone house, a hunchbacked old man with thinning hair stood tremblingly in front of a wooden frame, pulling a row of dustpans. From time to time, he raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the sun in the sky.
"Mr. Yu, I want to learn some skills. How can I charge you if I don't know how to do it?"
Wang Li walked to the wooden shelf, held the wine jar in both hands and placed it in a dustpan.
The hunchbacked old man's expression perked up, and he immediately stood still. He looked at the wine jar, his nose twitched repeatedly, and without looking at Wang Li, he said: "Brother Li, you can be regarded as a scholar. If you don't prepare for the scholar examination, why do you suddenly think
Have you learned to hunt?”
Wang Li smiled and said: "Old lady, you know the situation in my family, and I not only want to learn hunting, I also want to ask you for your skills in identifying herbs."
The old man's surname was Yu. When he was young, he was one of the best hunters in several surrounding villages. It is said that he also had a medicine book that he got from somewhere. With this medicine book, he gained a lot during hunting and went to the town.
A lot of medicinal materials were poured into it.
Soon he made a fortune and moved to the town to start a family. At that time, many people in the village began to come to him to learn some skills. With the money and gifts in place, they all learned more or less from his hands.
However, later the old man's only son got into a dispute with someone in the town. There was a fight and he was seriously injured and bedridden. The old man spent all his savings to get medical treatment. He even sold the house in the town but could not save his son. After that, he went to live with his daughter-in-law and grandson.
Came back to the old house in the village.
"Identify herbs? Are you trying to pick herbs?"
Taigong Yu frowned and said, "It's easy to talk about hunting, but identifying herbs..."
Wang Li immediately said: "Then please teach me your hunting experience first, and also buy a map of your previous hunting in the mountains. I wonder how you charge here?"
Taigong Yu glanced in the opposite direction of the sun, paused, and said: "Well...it's not that I can't teach you how to identify herbs, and I don't charge you for this skill, but you have to come over every evening to teach my grandson.
homework."
Wang Li's expression moved slightly. After thinking for a moment, he bowed his hands and bowed, saying: "Then I'd like to thank you Grandpa!"
~~~~~~~
On a deserted road in the countryside, Qin Hong and Wu Yu walked toward the west entrance of the village one after another.
"I didn't expect that boy Wang Li also got the entrance quota, and he was ahead of us. This boy is really lucky!"
Wu Yu muttered with an unhappy look on his face, and his tone was very unwilling.
"Cousin, everyone has his own opportunities."
Qin Hong stopped, turned around, looked at Wu Yu with a very serious expression, and continued: "Your mentality is not good for practice."
Wu Yu's face hardened and he whispered: "I'm just unhappy. He, a farmer boy, got the opportunity without doing anything, while my cousin and I waited hard in the thatched cottage for half a year and still lost many treasures...
..”
"You actually said such words as Kuwai?"
Qin Hong shook his head and said: "I have already told you how Brother Li obtained the destiny method, but I didn't know you thought so."
"I know that you feel sorry for the treasures borrowed by Uncle Lin. You have suffered a loss because of your rash thoughts. Even if you are angry, you should go to Uncle Lin."
Wu Yu muttered: "How dare I..."
"Of course you wouldn't dare!"
Qin Hong looked sharply and shouted: "So you think it's unfair and want to spread your grievances on irrelevant people? Do you want to cause trouble for Wang Li when you see him later?"
Wu Yu's head shrank: "I...I just said casually, cousin, don't be angry, I definitely have no intention of causing trouble for Wang Li..."
He had never seen his cousin talk to him with such an attitude. In a trance, Wu Yu seemed to see his uncle who was in court to interrogate the case, and he was now like a prisoner in the hall.
"That's good!"
Qin Hong's tone softened and he said in a concentrated voice: "Cousin, if Brother Li succeeds in training, he will be in the same sect as us. My father once told me that if you enter the mountain sect one day, if you don't have the strength that others can't afford, don't do it.
Easily offends fellow disciples."
"His old man offended too many of his fellow disciples and ended up where he is now."
~~~~~~~~
While Brother Qin Hong was talking, Wang Li had already rushed towards the Deer Deer Forest with his skin bag on his back. After detouring out of the village, he speeded up a little and ran at a fast pace. He arrived at the place where he entered the forest yesterday without a cup of tea.
Not only did he not feel tired, but he was in high spirits and his body had a different lightness than before.
"It's so magical when you first enter the first level of physical training. The practice is really incredible."
Wang Li felt a little hot in his heart, took out a sheepskin map, looked at it, and jumped into the woods.
