At the dinner table, there were not only three people, but also one other person.
An old man, a white-haired grandmother, was very thin and her eyes were always slightly squinted.
She only appeared during the meal, and Li Meng didn't hear a word from her.
Tonight's dinner was very rich, and the table was filled with golden bread, sausages, and a roast chicken.
After eating meatloaf for many days, Li Meng couldn't hold back and ate heartily when he saw the delicious food on the table.
Emily seemed very happy to see that Li Meng was eating so well. She always had a smile on her face and her hands were not idle as she kept putting vegetables on Li Meng's plate.
"Eat more. Only by eating more can you grow stronger. You look hungry. You must have been hungry for many days."
While eating, Li Meng nodded and said: "There is nothing delicious on the boat, only meatloaf, which is not as fragrant as the rice cooked by Aunt Emily."
With a chuckle, Emily said happily: "You little brat, you have such a sweet mouth."
With a smile, Li Meng used "eat" to prove that what he said was true.
After giving Li Meng a piece of sausage, Emily asked curiously: "Li Meng, are you traveling?"
Although he is not old, his brother has already left home at this age. Li Meng is alone outside, which makes Emily think of a possibility.
Nodding, Li Meng said: "Well, that's right."
travel?
Cruise, who was on the opposite side, raised his head. He looked at Li Meng and then at Emily, with a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
After repeated hesitation, Cruise plucked up the courage and opened his mouth.
"I...I want to participate in the hunter trial..."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Emily's face disappeared instantly.
The old lady at the main seat was holding a cup of coffee and drinking it calmly.
"Pa..."
The palm of her hand hit the dining table hard, and Emily stood up and said angrily: "No, absolutely not, how old are you? It's too dangerous, I will never allow it."
Pouting slightly, Cruise raised his head, mustered up the courage to face Aunt Emily's angry gaze, and said: "My father has become a hunter when he was my age. If my father can do it, so can I."
The look on her face was stunned, and Emily sat down decadently, with a sad look on her face, and said: "You know?"
Lowering his head slightly, a hint of timidity flashed across Cruz's face, and he whispered: "Yes, I understand."
In the following time, the restaurant fell into silence.
No one said a word until the dinner was over.
Li Meng spent a quiet night at Emily's farm.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, one night passed.
When the sun rises from the eastern sky, it announces the arrival of a new day.
In the early morning, when everything comes to life, the huge whale town is peaceful and full of natural atmosphere.
"Aunt Emily, why don't you see Cruise?"
At the door of the kitchen, Li Meng made a hunch and asked Aunt Emily who was busy in the kitchen.
After wiping her hands with a towel, Emily smiled slightly and said, "He should be in the back mountain at this time. I don't know where he learned the ability to exercise. He has to practice for two hours every morning."
Practicing martial arts?
His eyes lit up, Li Meng waved to Emily in the kitchen and said: "I'll go take a look..."
With that said, Li Meng walked towards the door.
Emily, who was in the kitchen, quickly chased out of the kitchen door and shouted to Li Meng's leaving back: "It's almost time. Remember to come back for breakfast in half an hour."
"knew……"
When Li Meng's voice fell, Emily could no longer see Li Meng's back.
With only helplessness in her eyes, Emily smiled and turned back to the kitchen.
The back mountain is still very big, but there is only one road, a road that is not a road, and a forest path.
After leaving the farm, Li Meng followed a trail deep into the forest.
Everything in the forest is dim, the chirping of the healers is constant, and occasionally you can hear the sound of birds flapping their wings.
Walking along the trail with gradually blurring traces, after walking for almost a mile, the view ahead suddenly became vast. Unknowingly, Li Meng came to the end of the trail, beside a small lake.
Walking out of the forest and looking at the quiet lake in front of him, Li Meng's eyes lit up.
Cruise is really good at finding places, and he actually found such a place with a beautiful environment.
"Li... Li Meng?"
Li Meng was looking around for Cruise, but unexpectedly Cruise's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Li Meng looked up and saw Cruz running out of the forest on the left.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Cruise stopped in front of Li Meng.
A hint of timidity flashed in his eyes, and Cruise was a little embarrassed, and said with a sly expression: "Then... well, why did Li Meng come here?"
Looking deep into the forest behind Cruise, Li Meng asked: "Are you running?"
Cruise lowered his head and said, "Well, one hundred laps, finished."
One hundred laps?
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Li Meng looked Cruise up and down.
I didn't expect Cruise to have such physical fitness. Although it is only a small lake, one lap is at least one kilometer, and one hundred laps is one hundred kilometers.
One hundred kilometers must be completed within two hours, or even less. This speed is not slow.
Li Meng asked again: "Is it over?"
Shaking his head, Cruz said: "Not yet, there are still a thousand push-ups and two thousand leg presses."
Hearing this, Li Meng murmured in his heart that this was not martial arts training, but physical training.
Only New Humanity can withstand such intensity.
No, ordinary new humans are not good enough. They must exercise day by day to withstand such high-intensity training.
Looking around, Li Meng looked at a big tree.
Taking a step forward, Li Meng came to the big tree and looked up at the tree.
With his legs and feet slightly bent, Li Meng jumped hard, soaring into the air and jumped onto a branch ten meters high.
Sitting on a thick branch, Li Meng looked at the surprised Cruz under the tree and said, "Go on, Aunt Emily said, you have to go back within half an hour."
After Li Meng's reminder, Cruise finally realized that time was running out.
After regaining his composure and taking a deep breath, Cruise lay on the ground and started doing push-ups.
If you just want to exercise physical fitness and strengthen the muscles of various parts, push-ups are naturally useful.
Running, leg presses, and push-ups don’t need anyone to tell you. Cruise probably learned them online.
Li Meng thought of what Cruise said at the dinner table last night.
It seems that Cruise's intention to become a hunter was not a whim, but he had been preparing for it very early.
Is there a tough heart hidden behind the timid appearance?
Looking at Cruise doing push-ups on the grass under the tree, Li Meng's lips curled up slightly and he had an idea in his mind.
Half an hour later...
Panting heavily, Cruise came under the tree, looked up at Li Meng on the tree, and said breathlessly: "Li Meng, we should go back..."
