Yuan Chu asked the newcomers who were traveling with Wu Fan with questioning eyes. Although everyone did not notice when Wu Fan overtook them, when they were dragged to the top of the mountain by stones, they saw Wu Fan alone waiting at the top of the mountain. They all nodded. Seeing that everyone acquiesced to this fact, Yuan Chu turned around and glanced at Huo Fu, his eyes were also full of shock.
Seeing their big eyes staring at each other as if they were playing riddles, Wu Fan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yuan, Brother Huo, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Chu said in a deep voice: "Little brother, you don't know something. This kind of stone is the stone we use to exercise strength here. It's called bran stone. When it reaches a certain height, it will gradually become heavier as the height increases. Because you are new disciples. , it takes a month to practice the introductory pose. The so-called introductory pose is to carry the chaff stone from the bottom of the mountain along the stone steps to the middle of the mountain, and then back down the mountain. Because you are moving the stone, your body must be bent. The meaning of this is It’s respectful, but in fact it’s just torturing people.”
When he said this, he and Huo Fu looked at each other, and it could be seen from their expressions that they were both a little troubled by this old rule, "Hey, it can't be said to be a toss, after all, it is also an introductory method of exercise. From the bottom of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, the weight of the stone increases by four jun, which is one stone, so it is called stone strength training or stone training. So your introductory form is to increase your strength to one stone. After a month, you will be able to Come with us to the training ground. The training ground is halfway up the mountain. Every time you go up a hundred stone steps, one stone will be added. Of course, your previous one-stone strength is just the basis and does not count. From the training ground to the top of the mountain, there are at least five hundred steps. The steps are the power of five stones. And...and..."
Hearing that Yuan Chu's voice became softer, Wu Fan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Yuan, do you want to practice stone training from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain every day?"
"Hmm. No...it's not..."
Hearing Yuan Chu's hesitant words, Huo Fu couldn't help it, "Look at you, you look so worthless! Where are you? You have to admit the rules when you made them! You are a thief. We said in the beginning, who can? The first one to go to the top of the mountain is the eldest brother. But now that we are only three stone strong, he feels embarrassed to say anything."
Yuan Chu was so suppressed that his face turned red, he slapped the table and stood up, saying, "Who said you're sorry? I was just brewing feelings. The brothers in Courtyard No. 10 stood up and called Brother Xiaofan!"
Everyone in Courtyard No. 10 did not hesitate. They stood up and shouted loudly: "Brother Xiao Fan!"
The new disciples in Courtyard No. 9 also shouted when they saw this, with a hint of admiration and recognition in their eyes.
This loud sound shattered the loneliness that Wu Fan had been neglected for many years, shattered the unfamiliar barrier in No. 9 Courtyard, and also shocked the fallen leaves in the mountains.
The fallen leaves fell down, whether it was because of fright or because of the season.
After being stunned for a long time, Wu Fan's eyes were a little hazy, and he opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to express his inner feelings. He lost a big brother Wu Hao and gained a group of "little brothers", which can be regarded as a loss and a gain.
"Thanks to all the brothers and fellow disciples, since we are all brothers, we should take care of each other, but you made a bet, I..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Since you are willing to gamble, you should admit defeat. You have something to take care of right now. Since we called Brother Xiaofan, we will not take it back. But this matter will last for a while I still don’t understand. Come back early tomorrow and let’s chat more carefully!” Huofu interjected.
Seeing that no one had any objections, everyone in Courtyard No. 9 left. Unlike when he arrived, everyone was surrounded by Wu Fan on the way back to the hospital.
You were talking to me in unison, and Wu Fan's face turned red as he called out "Brother Xiao Fan". This night was different from the deserted one yesterday. There was laughter and laughter in the yard, and a group of strange teenagers finally got together.
The tiring day passed like this, but Wufan felt different from before, with more tension and excitement in his heart.
Wu Fan, who went to bed early every day, was tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep today. He stroked the sachet on his chest, his mood gradually stabilized, and he entered another gentle world with a smile on his lips.
Early the next morning, Wu Fan still got up early to exercise as usual, but when he opened the door, he was startled.
The people in Courtyard No. 9 stood in front of his room at some unknown time. They changed their usual laziness and shouted loudly: "Brother Xiao Fan!" Wu Fan was speechless: "Why did you get up so early today!" Is something wrong?"
A slightly older person in the crowd replied: "We heard about Brother Xiao Fan from the brothers from Woxi Village who came with you. We feel that it is quite unfair. Just because of the coercion of adults, we let him go." It’s really irritating that Brother Xiao Fan has been lonely for so many years! But from today on, it won’t happen any more. You are our boss and we all listen to you!”
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiaofan, we were ignorant before, but now we are helpless outside, so we know how lonely you were in those years. Fortunately, Brother Wu Hao was with you, but now there is no news about Brother Wu Hao. "
The children from Woxi Village scratched their heads in embarrassment. Seeing that Wu Fan looked unhappy, they hurriedly said: "But Ji Ren has his own destiny. He is so good to you. Nothing will happen to you. You will definitely get better soon." See you!"
"I hope..." Wu Fan fell into silence.
The child who was the leader in speaking just now slapped the boy, "Why are you talking so early in the morning? Are you deliberately trying to make Brother Xiao Fan sad? Brother Xiao Fan, we also have something to ask for. You see, your supernatural power was also shocked yesterday. We heard that you exercised every day before you came to Yuhu Sect, so today we are planning to exercise with you in the morning to avoid being tortured by that old dog Lu Chun."
Wu Fan thought for a moment after hearing this, thinking that the origin of the book was unknown now. If some of the tricks and routines were accidentally known to bad people, it might bring death to these people.
Basic exercise shouldn't be a problem, so I agreed. Letting others follow him every move makes him look like a teacher.
After exercising for a while, I realized that it was still early to report to the mountain gate yesterday. Because I was afraid of being late, I rushed there early yesterday, but ended up being hungry all day long. Today, everyone went to the cafeteria to have a meal with the senior brothers in Courtyard No. 10, and then left and headed to the mountain gate.
As expected, no one was seen when they arrived at the mountain gate. After waiting for about an hour, Lu Chuncai slowly wandered over. Everyone secretly made some calculations. After this training, it was probably noon again, and this lunch was probably ruined again. They couldn't help but feel resentful but helpless.
Lu Chun saw that the people who were scattered like sand yesterday were extraordinarily united today, with one person surrounding them. He took a closer look. Isn't this the kid who arrived at the top of the mountain inexplicably yesterday?
He secretly thought: How amazing is it that he became the leader in just one day? It's a joke that a group of village men are still kings based on their strength. See how I deal with you later!
When he came closer, Lu Chun pretended to look at everyone and said, "Why are you lazy if I don't come? From now on, you don't need to tell me, just do what you have to do! Until I'm satisfied. Okay, get out of here." !”
Everyone was so angry that smoke was pouring out of their heads. It was obviously you who asked us to wait here in advance, but now it's better. The helpless people could only follow Wu Fan down the mountain.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing everyone following Wu Fan, Lu Chun felt unhappy. "Come here!"
Lu Chun pointed at Wu Fan and shouted, "You're a very strong boy, but you're showing off your talent here. What's the point of being with these losers? Why don't you just call me Master. How about following me to Xifeng?"
Everyone felt bad when they heard this. Wu Fan is indeed qualified to go to a better place, we are just holding him back.
Seeing Wu Fan push them away and walk in front of Lu Chun, although he was unwilling to do so, he couldn't find any reason to dissuade him.
I just heard Wu Fan say calmly: "It is said that the West Peak is stronger than our East Peak, and its materials and talents are better than ours. It is really desirable." Lu Chun's brows were happy, and he had already imagined Yunlang being so angry that he vomited blood, and felt in his heart Joy blossomed.
Before he could make any expression, Wu Fan continued: "However, I am also from the countryside. I only have brute strength. I really don't want to dirty your land. I just want to be with my brothers." . And now you, the West Peak, only dare to trample on the disciples of the East Peak, but how do you know that our East Peak will not be better than the South Peak in the future? I wonder if you, real person, can still say such words at that time. From now on, dragons will return from the sea and tigers will enter the mountains. , whether the mountain will overwhelm the sea or the sea will swallow the mountain, please wait and see!"
Everyone listened with excitement and couldn't help but secretly applaud, and their hearts were full of admiration and gratitude to Wu Fan.
Lu Chun was so angry that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, as if he had been slapped in the face, but because of what happened before, he was worried and did not dare to take action easily. He cursed: "You are really full and strong, how dare a yellow-mouthed kid be so presumptuous! This I don’t think moving rocks will satisfy you anymore. Your brothers are short of firewood. You go to Beifeng to chop firewood for me!”
With that said, he picked up Wufan and walked towards a path in the woods.
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. I want to catch up, but I can't keep up with Lu Chun's speed, so I can only move the rocks honestly first.
Besides, Wufan only felt the strong sound of wind in his ears along the way. After a while, he came to a very dark place with dense mountains and overgrown weeds.
Not far away is a taller mountain, which seems to be sparsely populated, and the stone steps leading to the mountain are covered with weeds.
"Don't you have great strength? Don't you be unable to show off your skills! No one has cleaned this place for a long time. You can cut the grass along the road for me, and then chop down trees and firewood. It shouldn't be a difficult task for you. During this time, you Come here to work every day, don’t be lazy.”
As he spoke, Lu Chun looked around as if he was worried about something, and then he was about to leave.
"But Master, I don't have any tools, how can I work!" Wu Fan hurriedly shouted.
"Don't you know how to look for it yourself? There is a shabby house built before at the foot of the mountain. There should be..." Lu Chunzhen said as he left quickly, and then muttered something, but Wu Fan didn't hear it at all. .
I had no choice but to go down the mountain to see if there were any tools left in the so-called broken house.
After Lu Chun fled a short distance quickly, he turned around and smiled sinisterly: "I don't know what dragons and tigers are like mountains and seas, but I know you are going to fend for yourself here! Fight with me? Although I don't dare to do it on the surface, But if something happens to you, it has nothing to do with me.”
Then humming a happy tune, he headed to Dongfeng in a swaggering manner.
