Zhuang Weixing and Li Zhiming packed up their things early and got on the ox cart with the villagers' farewell. The team leader and the four selected people went to the town together.
The excited villagers followed the ox cart for a long distance before stopping.
They were so happy. Their brigade hadn't had any vacancies for military service for several years. They thought this year would be just like any other year, but they were unexpectedly given four vacancies.
On average, each village gets two spots! How could they not be happy? How could they not be excited?
Since the day they learned about this, the villagers of the two villages have been very happy.
They celebrated it like Chinese New Year, and even during the Spring Festival they were reluctant to set off the firecrackers, so they pooled their money and bought two strings.
I had intended to wait until the four of them left to set off the firecrackers, but now they were on the oxcart. The person who had been guarding the firecrackers got the news and quickly lit them.
The old cow, which was originally walking slowly, also quickened its pace when it heard the sound of firecrackers.
The four people sitting on the ox cart were also very excited. They waved vigorously to their relatives and friends behind them, and only put their hands down when they could no longer see anyone.
Zhuang Weixing left without Lin Yizhen knowing that she was still teaching the children martial arts in the mountains at that time.
Now, these children are no longer just sitting in meditation or horse stance. Lin Yizhen has started to have them practice the plum blossom pole, a must-do for all martial artists.
Because it has just begun, and they have just started to gather their energy and have no internal strength yet.
Therefore, they would start from the shortest wooden stake and move up to the higher stakes step by step.
These are the low stances that Lin Yizhen specially set up for them. Once they have internal energy in their dantian, Lin Yizhen will remove these low stances.
After Lin Yizhen gave them a demonstration, she flew down from the pole.
When everyone saw Lin Yizhen flying down from such a high wooden stake, they all opened their mouths in surprise.
Although they had always been taught by Lin Yizhen herself, they had never seen Lin Yizhen use Qinggong.
Lin Yizhen always practices in the early morning, when the children are still asleep.
On the other hand, the soldiers who were training on the other side, who often saw Lin Yizhen practicing on the playground, were not surprised at all when they saw her flying down.
After all, they have seen more powerful martial arts skills than this.
After Lin Yizhen demonstrated it to them, she asked Zhang Jialiang to try it out.
Zhang Jialiang was walking on the plum blossom pile for the first time, and he was very nervous. But he was the eldest brother, so he couldn't leave.
He started from the low stakes, and when he was actually on the plum blossom stakes, he followed the steps that Instructor Lin had taken. He made mistakes several times, but corrected them after Lin Yizhen reminded him.
Although he took a few wrong steps and walked very slowly, he still insisted on finishing the walk. Lin Yizhen was very satisfied with Zhang Jialiang.
With Zhang Jialiang taking the lead, the others followed suit and walked towards the plum blossom pile.
Some brave children, encouraged by others, persevered and finished the walk, but some, however, were not so brave and burst into tears as soon as they stepped onto the plum blossom piles.
No matter how much others encouraged him, it was useless. He just stood there and didn't dare to move.
Lin Yizhen had no choice but to fly up and bring him down, and then replace him with another one.
After everyone had gone up, Lin Yizhen personally took the timid ones to walk around it again.
Perhaps because Lin Yizhen was there to protect them, these timid ones didn't cry as loudly as before.
They grabbed Lin Yizhen's clothes and followed her tremblingly.
Finally, I finished walking through the plum blossom piles.
Next, Lin Yizhen asked them to line up again and continue practicing plum blossom pole.
It could be that they have walked through it once, or it could be that they know they can’t escape it.
Those timid children walked the entire length of the plum blossom piles obediently this time. Although their legs were shaking violently, they managed to persevere.
Lin Yizhen happily praised everyone.
To reward them, I took them for a trip into the mountains. We shot two musk deer and a few rabbits, then found a clearing and started a barbecue outdoors.
Although Lin Yizhen can't cook, she is very good at barbecue.
She first arranged for several children to collect firewood, and then she asked two older children to dig a small pit to put the burning firewood in so that the wind would not blow out the fire.
Since it was the first time to bring these children out, they had never barbecued by themselves before.
So, this time, Lin Yizhen took the game she had hunted to the river, gutted it, washed it, marinated it, and finally put it on the grill to start grilling.
The other children who had nothing to do followed over to watch how Lin Yizhen killed and pickled the wild game.
Lin Yizhen was just giving them a demonstration this time. From now on, they would have to do these things themselves.
Because there were so many people and so much food to roast, Lin Yizhen had them dig a few more pits. Then, they placed the pickled hares and roe deer on several fires and roasted them.
When grilling game, you need to be patient and turn it over frequently.
Lin Yizhen was teaching the children while turning over the rabbit in her hand.
The children nearby saw the hare gradually emitting a fragrant aroma and said, "Instructor Lin, how long will it take before we can eat this hare? I'm starving."
"It's almost there, just wait a little longer!" Lin Yizhen said as she continued turning the hare in her hand.
As she turned it over, she used a knife to make small cuts on the rabbit's body so that it would be roasted faster.
Seeing Lin Yizhen's actions, the others followed suit, making small cuts in the roasted game and then slowly turning it over.
When the time was almost up, Lin Yizhen tore open one of the rabbit's legs and looked at it. Then she handed the roasted rabbit to the people around her and asked them to share it.
The man who got the hare tore off a leg and handed it to Lin Yizhen, saying, "Instructor Lin, you eat first."
Lin Yizhen didn't refuse and took it after thanking her.
The people roasting hares nearby followed Lin Yizhen's example, tearing the hares and roe deer into pieces to check if they were done, and then began to share the food.
After seeing that everyone had meat in their hands, Lin Yizhen took a bite of the rabbit leg in her hand.
After eating the hare and musk deer, Lin Yizhen put out all the flames and walked back with the children.
On the way, they encountered a few pheasants, and Zhang Jialiang and his friends wanted to catch them.
She was stopped by Lin Yizhen, who picked up a few small stones from the ground.
It flicked towards the heads of the pheasants, and then Zhang Jialiang and the others saw that the pheasants, which were originally running leisurely on the ground, fell to the ground and stopped moving.
A few of them looked at each other and then ran towards the pheasant.
After picking up the pheasants, they realized that they were all dead.
Then, everyone came back with their pheasants, staring at Lin Yizhen and saying, "Instructor, what kind of kung fu is this? We want to learn it too."
