Chapter 27: Cloud Shadow in January 1995
Cloud Shadow in January 1995
My parents were quite surprised when they saw me carrying a steel pipe home from school, and they were even more puzzled when they heard my explanation. They never imagined that I would buy a steel pipe from a hardware store and use it as "fitness equipment".
The 1.75-meter steel pipe is the same length as my long-barreled gun, and its weight is heavier than that of the long-barreled gun, which is just suitable for exercising arm strength.
I tied the big gourd-shaped bag with woven bags, old clothes, and sturdy rope, and fastened it tightly to the coal pile in the yard, where I would train later.
I got up and started training when the gastrodia was black. First, I ran around the county town with a steel pipe. When I came back, I squatted and stretched. Then I started to poke in order according to the circles drawn by the red paint on the top of the bag.
The head and heart are the key targets for me to take care of, and other parts that I feel are not easy to guard against are also marked, mainly for the purpose of having more positions so as to be familiar with the hand feel.
This set of training methods of mine was pondered by myself. I didn't find any relevant books in the bookstore. Some ancient people fought and trained soldiers, but they only gave a rough introduction. I didn't specifically say how to train the spearmen. I think I have a specific goal. I can exercise my eyesight and accuracy. As long as I can stab the enemy with a single shot, I will basically win the attack.
It's also very funny. The long sword is the most respected weapon in Luhe Village, but my colleague, "Sand" with the long sword, can't beat me, a novice gunner, when I practice against me.
On the one hand, he usually seldom exercises, and only uses the iron sword as a weapon that is slashed and slashed indiscriminately.
On the other hand, the long pole weapon is really too dominant. He can't hit me, but I can stab him. I don't know how to face an opponent with a long pole gun even with a sword.
The old man Galle is not afraid of opponents with long guns, at least he is not afraid like me. The old man has a unique skill, he can throw the iron sword out and cut people from a distance. , the old man Galle threw his sword out and knocked down two people in his life, which is a glorious record that no one else in the village can match.
Old man Galle will also use his sword to block long-handed weapons, but in his words, long-handed weapons still have the advantage. After all, swords and guns have no eyes. Whether I accidentally stab him or he hurts me, it is not a good thing, so we never do. Neither practice.
No one will be able to know my true level. I will definitely not take my skills seriously like Sande, and eat and wait to die all day long. I know very well that the quality of mastering the weapon at hand determines us. The force of a fighter determines our chances of surviving in a conflict of arms. I was born in a peaceful age, but I cherish my life. I would rather suffer and be tired than rely on others for my safety.
Ah Fu is very strong, and ordinary beasts are no match for it alone, but I can't be a soft egg that drags Ah Fu back, otherwise it will be my death when it is entangled and can't take care of me.
Sooner or later, I was holding a "golden hoop", running and poking the cloth bag, all of which were seen by my parents. They were confused, and they asked me if I should take the exercise tank. They couldn't find out the news from other aspects. , and I can only let myself play foolishly.
My family’s food has been greatly improved since I had the extra money selling gold coins. I seldom eat rice and noodles as the staple food. Every morning and evening, I don’t stop eating custard. I have beef, mutton and vegetables at noon and afternoon, and even more fruit. I also carry a few schoolbags when I go to school. Except for the occasional one at the same table, I will do everything by myself.
I can eat all-you-can-eat beef and mutton, and people are full of energy. When I was in the opposite world, I often felt hungry because the intensity of exercise was too high. The ginseng soup and milk powder did not relieve my hunger. It’s different here. When it’s good, I’m full of energy from exercise, and I don’t even feel tired when I go to school. As long as I get enough sleep for ten hours, I also have a lunch break at noon.
I ate this all the time, and I expected to grow into a muscular little tank, but I have a physique that can't eat fat, and I don't have meat on my body, so I still look thin and weak.
Being weak is an illusion. I am now the first in my class in sprinting and long-distance running. Although I am small, I can run very fast. No one can run faster than me in sprinting.
I am also good at long-distance running. Anyway, I carry a steel pipe to run around the county town twice every day. Although other people also participate in the school running laps in the morning, the intensity is far worse than my training, and my physical fitness is not at the same level. When I ran with them, I kept sprinting for almost the entire 1,000 meters. Even if they were dying, they could only follow me and eat dust.
The physical education teacher is very optimistic about me. If I perform so well when I start school, I will definitely be indispensable for this year's sports meeting.
Push-ups, sit-ups, and leapfrogs are also regular activities for me. When I am at home, I only need to do my homework, and the rest of the time is either reading books or checking materials or exercising.
Neither my parents nor my teachers and classmates understand why I have to exercise so desperately. I said that my reason is to grow taller. They believe it for the time being, but can the pressure of growing taller make people work so hard?
I definitely know that the pressure of being tall is not enough to make me work so hard, the real motivation is to save my life, and I think that only if I am strong enough and armed enough to do my job in the opposite world and save my life, live Must be as long as Old Galle, or even longer than him.
My vision is very short-sighted, and I have no idea what life will be like in the future, but if I really want to think about it, I think I might really live like this in Luhe Village, patrolling, catching thieves and small beasts , raising a son, repairing the house, and taking the stone gate to improve the next life if you can save gold coins...
um, it seems that there is nothing wrong.
Time just passed, and the high-quality food made my body feel better, and my parents’ faces were rounded. My dad used to say that he was born with insufficiency and that he would not gain weight no matter how much he eats. Now he has a small belly. After going out, they can only slightly reduce the calories in their food in the future to prevent them from being obsessed with obesity at a young age.
At the end of the month, before the Shimen opened, I measured my height on a whim, and was surprised to find that I had grown by more than one centimeter.
...
This is very happy, I stood on the head of the wall with a pencil against it, and carefully drew the line again. There is no mistake, the new line is one and a half centimeters higher than before.
I'm really happy to die. If I can grow one centimeter next month, I will break through one meter four!
I was so happy that I almost woke up my parents to tell them the great news, but they were already asleep, so I could only tell them when I came back from the opposite world.
This time through Shimen, I moved a large package of things, meat, fruit, eggs, bread, bagged milk and milk powder...
I was so bold because I finally made up my mind to clean up the cellar at the end of last month. My house originally had a cellar. , The entrance of the cellar is a wooden door. After going down the slope for more than two meters, the bottom is about five square meters. There are no stones on the wall. It was originally used by the residents to store vegetables and grain in winter. Very bad smell, I have found it long ago and have been too lazy to clean it.
Now I have to use it. I have the motivation to use it when I am under pressure. I took out the strength of exercising to clean up the cellar. It took two days to completely clean the offal inside. The earth wall was trimmed and a few wooden pillars were added to prevent Collapse, then stuff stuff into it in batches.
The terrain of my house is relatively high. At least the cellar is far from the aquifer. It is a little damp. It is not a problem to store food for a short time, but there is no way to store it for a long time. use.
Most houses in Luhe Village only have latches, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have locks. A few households in this village have locks on their doors. These locks are bought from the town. The price is not cheap, but it’s worth the money.
The door of my house is currently unlocked, but I believe that no one dares to steal anything from my house. The village is so small. When A Fu and I patrol the village, we can see the condition of our yard at any time, and there is no chance for others to approach. I don't have to worry about it when I'm on guard. I can see my yard as soon as I turn around. Ah Fu is very sensitive to his own territory. Others don't say they are entering my yard, they even listen to Ah Fu when they walk in front of the door. Growls and warnings, now my house is a no-go zone that everyone in the village knows.
My home is not remote. Since it became a restricted area, everyone has to take detours, which is quite inconvenient. The village chief even talked to me about this, but I can't do anything about it. Canines have this virtue. Instinctively, it is impossible for anyone to get close to its nest. I told the village chief that if someone wants to buy my house, I am willing to move. I can change the place or build it again, but it will not work if I have less money. I have a new house. Repairs cost a lot of money, and I will suffer without it.
The village chief also agrees with me. After my house has been rebuilt, it is indeed relatively new and sturdy in the village. Some people have seen the fireplace before and said it is great. Some people also want to get one in their own home. The structure is a bit complicated, and the few people who built the fireplace could not imitate it after trying it, otherwise it might have been popularized in the village now.
My home is good or not, and many people like it, but there are not many people who can spend a lot of money to buy it in the winter. Besides, I don't want to sell the house in the cold weather, even if I change the place to live, That will have to wait until next spring.
After supplementing the food, my life will be much more comfortable. At least the money I used to buy meat can be saved. My tattered 'clothes' are completely useless now. I bought leather from the hunter's house and asked the aunt in the village to give it to me. Tailor-made leather waistcoat, leather wristbands and leather pants, shoes and leggings.
This is another big expense, and my salary for the next month is covered by it.
I actually thought about buying leather and doing it myself at home. I have all the scissors and needles ready-made, but I didn't make that mess. One is that I have never made clothes at all, so it is difficult to make them fit. On the other hand, I have The needles and threads used, as well as the tailoring, can be seen by someone with a discerning eye to know that they are different from others. The Hu Chi Hai Se that I hoarded at home can still rely on myself to be thin and not fat to cover up, but I can’t say about other aspects.
It’s been the third year since I came to this world, and I can be considered wearing new clothes. The clothes that have been sewed up and can’t be repaired are now finally retired. small toy.
My son is white and chubby, his big eyes are as green as gems, and his little face is so cute when he smiles.
After putting on the new clothes, I became the prettiest cub in the village.
I don't know whether I should be fifteen or eighteen. To be honest, I am very puzzled, because purely from the algorithm of the opposite world, I will be celebrating my fifteenth birthday soon, but with the three years in this world, I had three more years than my peers, and it was tangled.
What's more tangled is my appearance. My face is relatively tender. Now I have grown a little bit, but my face still looks like twelve or thirteen years old. Naturally, I now look very different from the photos when I was twelve years old, but Compared with other people, I am obviously not the face of a fifteen-year-old boy. My classmates already have light hairs around their mouths. Some people have acne on their foreheads, and some people have a drake voice, but I am different. At first glance, it is a child, standing in their ranks is very conspicuous.
I'm different from my classmates in the opposite world, and I'm different from my peers in the village. I was already an adult at the age of fifteen in Luhe Village, and I was already at the age where I could ask a wife to have children and go out to make a living. There are some people in the village. Same age as me, and now have kids.
Of course, I also have a son, and my progress is not slower than other peers in the village, but what I want to say is that if you look at the appearance, a fifteen-year-old "boy" in the village looks like a twenty-year-old in my common sense. I am in their eyes. I was in my early teens at most, and even my colleagues didn't believe I was fifteen, and inevitably regarded me as a child.
A child in his early ten years served as a guard in the village, and he carried his son who was less than one year old all day long, which was considered a strange thing in Luhe Village.
