Fifteen minutes later, Gu Chen came out of the shower and put on clean half-sleeve clothes and a black jacket.
The sound of my mother chopping meat "bang bang bang" came from the kitchen. I came outside the kitchen and opened the kitchen curtain.
"Mom, you're back!"
"Yes, Xiaochen, go to the sofa and rest for a while. Let's have stewed pig's trotters for lunch."
After Chen Guilan finished speaking, the machete in her hand started chopping "bang bang bang" again.
"Don't you have to wait for dad to come back?"
"Your dad doesn't come home for lunch. The construction site is very busy, so he can only come home at night."
"oh!"
Come to the sofa, sit down, and turn on the TV.
"Now urgent news. A child is missing in Longjiang City. His name is Li Defa, and he is wearing..."
"Recently, a thunderstorm occurred in the mountains. Some netizens captured the scene of an immortal ascending. Please take a look at the pictures..."
…………
Gu Chen played one channel after another out of boredom.
"Next, I would like to invite our master of Chinese martial arts, Master Ma, to show you a Hunyuan Five-Continuous Whip."
Chinese martial arts? Gu Chen suddenly became interested, not for anything else but because of the plug-in he was wearing now. He still didn't understand it yet.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ma XX. Next, I will practice a set of five consecutive whips that I created for everyone."
Gu Chen watched carefully, trying to memorize every move. At the same time, he mentally exhaled the panel to see if he could record it.
"This is the first lash, the second lash...the fifth lash. My performance is over. Thank you everyone."
Master Ma finished the performance, and Gu Chen also finished watching it, but his eyes widened and he said in his heart that he was done!
"Damn it, what the hell is this? I can do it, I can do it."
He couldn't help but complain. It seemed that Master Ma was just a performer and had no technical content at all.
Turn off the TV and sit on the sofa for a moment to calm down your newly excited heart.
There was less than an hour before lunch time, and he had nothing to do. He got up directly and went to the courtyard, preparing to practice Tai Chi.
He started practicing following the routine moves in his memory. He moved slowly, and after each move he had to recall the movements of the next move until he completed the thirteen moves without missing a beat and stopped. Half an hour had passed.
"Yes, the bath was in vain."
He was dripping with sweat again, but strangely he was not tired, but felt inexplicably comfortable.
"Mom, I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay, let's have dinner after finishing washing."
He went to the bathroom again and turned on the shower. Hot water poured down from his head. It was very comfortable and comfortable. Putting aside all worries, this is how life should be.
Using his consciousness to bring up the panel, this has become his habit in a short period of time. He always wonders whether the panel will change and whether his life span will increase. After all, this is his only hope for survival.
The red screen instantly unfolded before my eyes.
The first thing he looked at was the longevity column, and he sighed slightly. It was still 98, no more, no less, no, it was still less than yesterday.
Then I continued to look down, and my physical strength has recovered to 4.4, and my energy has also recovered, but it is only 4.3. It has gone back a few points and has not yet reached the initial value.
Logically speaking, it makes no sense. I was so exhausted from running home from the park that my physical strength and energy dropped at the same time. I had a nightmare and my energy level dropped a bit. But after doing Tai Chi, my energy level increased and my physical strength also increased?
What is the principle of this? Is energy linked to my thinking and emotions? What is physical strength? Physical fitness? Speed or agility? Or maybe both?
I couldn't figure it out, so I just put it aside and looked down.
Then I was surprised to find that the Chen style Tai Chi in the exercise column changed from [1/10] to [2/10]. Is it because I just practiced it again?
He felt that it was very possible that the reason why he didn't feel tired just now was probably because Tai Chi increased his energy. Although the body was still exhausted, it was ignored mentally, so he didn't feel anything but felt very comfortable.
Looking further down, [Skill] is still empty, and [Attribute Points] are also 0.
"Xiaochen, have you finished washing? After washing, you will come out to eat."
"coming!"
He responded, turned off the shower valve, wiped off the water droplets on his body, and left the bathroom wearing new tight pants and a T-shirt.
"You kid, you're still wearing short-sleeves in the cold weather. You're such a big man and you still need to be reminded by your mother."
"Mom, I'll put on my coat right away." He rubbed the back of his head and giggled, then ran up to the bedroom on the second floor.
In fact, he didn't feel cold after just washing the hot water, but he was already in poor health, so in order to prevent himself from getting sick, he still followed his mother's advice.
"Wow! Mom's craftsmanship is still as good as ever!"
At the dinner table, Gu Chen praised the woman in front of him.
Chen Guilan said with a smile on her face: "You don't even know who your mother is."
"Yes, yes, my mother is a chef, the chief chef of the eight major bowls in the countryside."
"Go, go, that's not because our family was poor and we had no choice but to help in the kitchen."
When Gu Chen was still very young, his family didn't have much money, and he could barely make ends meet just by relying on his father to earn money at the construction site. Especially after he went to college, all kinds of expenses were like running water, and he simply couldn't make ends meet.
Dad was very tired at the time and had to go to other places to do some work during his break after work.
Therefore, in order to relieve the pressure, my mother can only often go out to help others cook. Whenever there is a wedding or funeral that requires cooking, he will go with the cook, regardless of distance. In addition to cooking big pots, he also cuts vegetables and serves them. In this way, the salary is only about one thousand.
It may be due to long-term exposure to oil fumes, or it may be overexertion. This is also the case. My mother suffered from mild asthma at a young age, and soon afterwards she suffered from rhinitis. She continued to take medicine. Not long ago, she also got gastritis and was hospitalized for a few days. So neat.
He graduated from college and went to work in the city, and his family was demolished. Since then, his mother has never had a job, but she is a restless person. Although she lives in a two-story villa, there are always chickens in the yard. ducks, geese, and even two white rabbits.
"Mom, don't worry, I will stay with you in the next few days."
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? It's like life and death. Your mother and I will live to be eighty years old."
"Yes, yes, my mother will live a long life." He knew that his mother had misunderstood, and he did not explain.
Not long after the meal, Gu Chen, under Chen Guilan's intimidation, finished two pig's trotters, two bowls of hoof soup, and also swallowed half the bowl of rice.
Although his stomach was churning like a flood, he still resisted vomiting it out. This was his mother's hard work. It was a shameful waste of food.
"Mom, I'm going to take a nap."
"Go on, go back to your room and close the door, so as not to disturb you later."
After saying that, he returned to his room on the second floor and fell asleep not long after lying down. The sound of mahjong collisions sounded again in the small courtyard, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it.
Two hours later, Gu Chen woke up naturally without having any nightmares. He had never felt so comfortable before.
Since I got sick, my body has been consuming more and more weight, and I have become more sleepy, but I can't sleep well.
I looked at the panel habitually, but just at this glance, the data on the panel changed again.
Shou Yuanyi is still 98, but his energy has become 4.5, which is 0.1 more than the initial base. It must be due to the increased proficiency in Tai Chi.
Continuing to look at it, the [Attribute Points] column also changed, and then it showed 0.3.
"What is the use of this attribute point?"
He thought carefully in his mind, and the panel seemed to hear his voice, suddenly shook, and changed slightly.
