They were chased up and down the terraced fields by the hunting dogs three times. When their training was over, Xiao Bai and the other seven felt as if their legs were not their own when they walked. Their legs were shaking so much that they had to walk with limps!
Xiao Bai and Xiao Yao supported each other and limped towards home. After taking a few steps, Xiao Bai felt his trouser leg being pulled. Turning around, he found it was Lai Fu. Lai Fu was wearing several straps and was pulling a flatbed cart with several express deliveries on it.
That's the little cart Xiao's father built for Lai Fu. It can be used to haul packages and take him for a ride! Lai Fu is very strong, and pulling this little cart on the road is like playing.
Xiao Bai touched Lai Fu's head, waved to Xiao Yao with a smug look on his face, sat down on the small cart, and was pulled home by Lai Fu.
The training location the next day was a bamboo forest on the back mountain of the village.
Xiao Bai looked up at the bamboo forest that rose into the sky, then looked at Master Li who was standing at the top of the forest, bending the bamboo into an arch bridge. Xiao Bai opened his mouth wide.
Very good, I want Master Li to change into ancient costume and wear a conical hat, so that he can have the flavor of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger!
Master Li stood on the top of the bamboo pole, his body rising and falling with the top of the pole, which made the seven people below terrified.
They are standing right below Master Li! Master Li, please don’t fall down and hit them!
Master Li got straight to the point: "Today, you're going to learn how to climb bamboo. Climb up to the top of the bamboo pole. As long as you can stand there for half an hour, you've completed today's task!"
Finally, today they weren't being used as sparring partners for the dogs! After hearing Master Li's previous words, the seven looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Climbing the bamboo poles wasn't a difficult task for them! But when they heard Master Li say they had to stand on the bamboo for half an hour, they all frowned again.
Xiao Bai and others dispersed and each looked for suitable bamboo according to their weight.
Wu Hui deliberately found a bamboo near Xiao Bai and Xiao Yao. He shook the bamboo pole to see its toughness, then squatted down to check the root of the bamboo pole, and put a few stones on the ground into his pocket.
The seven people each found a suitable bamboo pole and began to try to climb up.
"What are you dawdling for? Are you waiting for lunch?!" Master Li's voice rang out. The thrush standing on his shoulder seemed to be frightened by the shout and flew to the nearest bamboo branch.
Xiao Bai held the bamboo pole in front of her and wrapped her legs around it. She climbed over the tree. Although the bamboo was smoother and not as easy to climb, it was not a problem.
Which country kid hasn't climbed mountains, trees, or gone to the river to catch fish when he was little? There were three loquat trees in front of her grandmother's house. Whenever the loquats were ripe, she would climb up and pick them!
Children are very flexible and good at climbing trees. They can reach the top of a tree in just a few steps. Although they are small, they are also very brave and don’t know what fear is!
As Xiao Bai climbed, he thought about his childhood and couldn't help feeling nostalgic. The happiness of childhood was so simple, but when he grew up, he had to rush around for a living. Now when he climbed the tree again, he was filled with mixed feelings.
Xiao Bai was still sighing to herself while several of her friends had already climbed to the top of the bamboo shoots, except for one overweight male classmate who was still working hard there.
Master Li swung his whip, and it was about to hit Xiao Bai behind him. Xiao Bai struggled a few times and quickly climbed up.
Master Li turned to look at the overweight student, who was still struggling at the base of the bamboo, climbing up one step and sliding down three steps. His brow furrowed. He wondered, "Can this bamboo pole really withstand 180 kilograms? Will it break?"
After working hard for a long time, I clamped my legs around the bamboo pole and tried to pull it up, but instead I slid down. A fat classmate squatted on his buttocks: ·······
Woo woo woo, he really couldn’t climb up. I hoped that Master Li wouldn’t swing his whip on him next time!
Master Li, who is still struggling with whether to let him continue climbing: ·······
Forget it, we can’t let him off the hook just because of his weight!
So the next second, the fat classmate's wailing sounded, and his butt finally did not escape the whip.
"Take heart, mobilize the spiritual energy in your body, and relax your body!"
After cracking his whip, Master Li shouted to the six people trembling and swaying upwards, clinging to the bamboo poles, "Climb a little higher! Learn to use your spiritual energy to reduce the weight on your bodies!"
Xiao Bai held the bamboo tightly with her hands and feet, and tried to move upwards bit by bit. The higher she went, the more the bamboo tip swayed back and forth. Xiao Bai was worried that the bamboo pole under her would break with a "snap" in the next second!
Every time the bamboo pole swayed, her heart trembled, and her hands and feet tended to become weaker and weaker.
After hearing Master Li's call, Xiao Bai immediately tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in her body and circulate it to her limbs. Her breathing also gradually became regular with the circulation of the spiritual energy. Only then did she feel her body lighten and she relaxed. Even the arc of the bamboo pole's swing became regular and stable.
Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had time to check on the other classmates.
Xiao Yao, who was not far from her, seemed to have found the trick as well. She swayed easily along with the tip of the bamboo pole. She even took the time to give Xiao Bai a smile.
Zhang Kai on the other side was trembling with fear. His legs were shaking and he screamed several times when the bamboo shoots swung wildly, but Master Li scolded him:
"Shut up! Don't lose your temper. Focus on mobilizing the spiritual energy in your body!"
Master Li checked on the students while giving them instructions. He nodded silently as he watched the six of them slowly find the trick and become accustomed to the amplitude and rhythm of the bamboo pole's swaying.
As for the chubby classmate who was still struggling at the root of the bamboo pole next to him, Master Li subconsciously ignored him.
Everyone found the pattern and gradually began to enjoy the fun of swinging back and forth on the bamboo tip. Zhang Kai even dared to let go of his hands and just wrapped his feet around the bamboo pole, standing upside down on it and making faces at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes and pressed down hard on the bamboo pole with both hands. The bamboo bent towards Zhang Kai. When the two bamboo poles were about to get close to each other, she kicked towards Zhang Kai!
Zhang Kai turned over with a smile and kicked hard, colliding with Xiao Bai's foot. The two bamboo poles swung in opposite directions due to inertia.
"Hahahaha" several people were swinging the tips of bamboo poles, you bumped into me and I kicked you, having a lot of fun.
Wu Hui bent the tip of his bamboo pole to the side with force. He was too disdainful to play such a childish game with them.
As the six people gradually adapted to the feeling of being on the bamboo shoots, Master Li began to give them a new task: "Now try to stand up, stand on the bamboo pole!"
“No~~~~”
The wailing of Xiao Bai and his companions sounded again. They had just discovered the fun of playing on the bamboo shoots!
