Chapter 135 Who Says I Can't Do It
The next morning, Su Ying went to the forest to cut trees. At the beginning, she didn't need too many trees, so she alone was enough.
After she tied the cut trees with vines, she took them back to an open space behind the yard.
Then she took out a shovel and started digging a hole, a big hole for burning wood. The opening of the pit should be smaller than the inside of the pit, so as to better ensure the airtightness during the combustion process.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Tian Mu took out the unused wood in the yard to dry and saw Su Ying working hard to dig a hole.
He has been busy making furniture at home during this period. He has to do a lot of the delicate work himself, so the progress is slow and it has not been completed yet.
"Dig pits and burn charcoal."
"Madam, you can also make charcoal?" Tian Mu opened his eyes in astonishment. At this moment, he really thought that Su Ying was omnipotent.
Of course, I just lack some talent in cooking.
"No, let's try. What if it succeeds?"
Tian Mu thought it made sense. Charcoal would always be needed when the weather was cold. "What do you want to do? Madam, tell me and I'll help you."
"Go get some water, and take a sieve to sift the mud. Then, mix it with water."
"Okay, I'll get it done right away."
The big pit was dug quickly, and some dry grass was found and placed under the pit. Then, the overly long branches were cut into two pieces with a knife, and then neatly stacked in the pit.
After all the branches were put in, Su Ying trimmed the mouth of the pit. After Tian Mu mixed the yellow mud, she lit the branches in the pit. After the fire started, she covered the mouth of the pit with branches and hay.
"Ma'am, how long will it take to burn here?"
Su Ying frowned. There was no strict rule in science regarding this time.
"Maybe four to seven days. Go back and get some wood ash from under the stove. The more the better."
"Yeah, okay."
Popular science says that the fire for making charcoal cannot be too big, otherwise the wood will burn completely and the process will fail.
After Tian Mu brought back the wood ash, Su Ying asked him to stay there and watch. If the wood in the pit collapsed due to burning, he would sprinkle some wood ash on it to prevent the fire from burning too strongly.
"Got it, ma'am. I'll keep an eye on it here. When the wood is almost burned, I'll cover it with yellow mud, leaving only one air hole."
Su Ying nodded, not knowing whether this attempt would be successful.
After Su Ying returned home and had breakfast, she continued to take No. 1 and the others out for training.
I have to say that after these days of training, the temperament of No. 1 and his group has changed.
After running ten laps as usual, Su Ying led them to the stream.
A few days ago, she asked Li Yong and others to help her set up a net by the stream. It was not big, only about three meters long and wide. Now a lot of fish have swam into the net, but due to the structure of the net, these fish cannot get out after swimming in.
"The purpose of our training today is to activate your senses. Numbers one, two, and three, step out and go into the water. Cover your eyes with a cloth. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to catch a fish for me."
Catching fish in water with your eyes closed?!
Although the fish is trapped in the net, it is not easy to catch it!
However, after training with Su Ying for a period of time, No. 1 and the others had some idea in their minds. They knew that whatever Su Ying said, she could definitely do, otherwise she would not let them do it.
Number One and the others walked into the water, then took out cloths from their bodies and covered their eyes.
"Concentrate your mind and use your sense of touch to feel the speed of the water."
Number One and his friends squatted in the water and slowly sensed the situation. Soon, Number Two tried to catch the fish, but missed.
"It's normal that you can't catch it the first time. Start by stimulating your perception."
"Madam Su, Madam Su, you are here, Madam Su."
Hearing the noise, Su Ying turned around and saw Qiao Yang jogging towards her.
"Madam Su, I heard that you are teaching people Kung Fu. Can you teach me too?"
Su Ying glanced at him and asked, "Are your injuries healed?"
Qiao Yang nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay."
"Then go to the side and do horse stance for an hour."
"Huh?" Qiao Yang was stunned. "Madam Su, I, I have a foundation in Kung Fu. I can learn the moves right away. Look at my powerful fists..."
"Number Four, teach him a lesson." Su Ying said lightly and turned away.
"Hey, Madam Su, don't go. Look, I'm very powerful."
Number Four twisted his neck and walked up to Qiao Yang with a smile, "Master Qiao, let me test how hard your fist is."
As soon as No. 4 finished speaking, he punched Qiao Yang.
Qiao Yang was startled and quickly dodged.
In order not to lose face in front of Su Ying, he put his utmost effort into responding, but unfortunately, after more than a dozen moves, he was beaten back repeatedly by No. 4.
"Oh my god, please be gentle and don't hit me in the face!"
After Su Ying had everyone go into the water, she turned around and saw Qiao Yang standing quietly by the side.
"With your horse stance, my Ling'er can reach it even if she pushes you. Look at your legs and waist. You can't even handle the most important part of a man."
Qiao Yang felt like every word Su Ying said stabbed his heart. It was okay for her to say that he was not good enough!
"Madam Su, I can do it!"
Su Ying kicked Qiao Yang lightly, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Qiao Yang covered his face and was kicked away by Madam Su. How could he still have the dignity to live in this world!
"Starting tomorrow, come and do horse stance for an hour every day. When your lower body is stable, tell me other things."
Qiao Yang relaxed his face and said, "Yes..."
I originally wanted to perform well in front of Su Ying, but who knew I would be so disappointing!
When Qiao Yang returned to Tiger Camp at night, it was already dark.
Hu Wei looked at his shaking legs and frowned, "Didn't you go to see Madam Su? Why are your legs shaking like this?"
Qiao Yang sat down on the chair with his legs trembling, and said with a firm face: "Brother, I'm going to practice martial arts with Madam Su tomorrow."
Hu Wei raised his eyebrows, "Can you do it?"
Qiao Yang can't stand hearing others say that he is not good enough now!
"Just wait, bro. I can do it!"
"If you can practice well, let Li Yong and the others practice with Madam Su."
"Brother, let them go. Haven't you seen the aura of those rented soldiers and bandits? They have changed. If we let them go, they will definitely become more powerful."
While the two brothers were talking, the guard who delivered the message arrived outside the door, "Chief, Qiangzi and the others are back."
Hu Wei's eyebrows sank. "Why did they come back so soon? Let them in."
"yes."
After a while, a man named Qiangzi walked into the house and said with a bad look on his face, "Chief, we can't buy food."
