Chapter 77: Self-cultivation, physical fitness, and hygiene are essential for home and travel
afternoon.
"Little Ji." The gardener held two apples in her hands and called to Ji Ruo who was still having fun on the lawn, "Auntie brought some fruit. Take a rest first."
After a few hours, Ji Ruo and the gardener aunt had become somewhat acquainted.
My aunt’s surname is Liu and her name is Liu Jinchun.
"It's okay, Aunt Liu, I'm not tired." With that, Ji Ruo rushed out again, waving the wooden stick in his hand, knocking down piece of weeds after piece with extremely high efficiency.
Rosie was not with Ji Ruo and went to the park to play by herself.
Liu Jinchun looked at Ji Ruo who was having fun and couldn't help but sighed: "It's great to be young."
At the beginning, she thought that Ji had come to the park to vent some of the stimulation he had received during the martial arts exam, and helping with the work was just an excuse.
But now...
Liu Jinchun looked down at the grass beneath his feet.
The grass heads that Ji Ruo broke with a stick were actually smoother than those she pushed away with a lawn mower.
It was as if what Ji Ruo held in his hand was not a stick, but a sharp sword...
Ji Ruo was naturally not tired. He watched his proficiency in the [Sword and Blade] buff increase rapidly, and felt very satisfied. How could he feel tired?
But it was indeed a little late. He took Rosie out in the morning and it was almost dark now.
"Auntie, it's getting late. I should go home soon."
"Ah, thank you, Xiaoji." Liu Jinchun was a little dazed. This child actually helped her with a day's work, and his efficiency was much higher than if she had done it herself.
Seeing the genuine smile on Ji Ruo's face and the pure happiness he displayed, Liu Jinchun seemed to be infected and his mood improved a lot.
"What a good kid."
She thought, such a good child would not dye his hair because of the stimulation in the military examination...it might be a personal hobby.
This compliment was sincere, so the progress of [Sincere compliments from elders] was increased by one again.
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's all my job. See you tomorrow, Auntie. I'll come back to help tomorrow."
"Come again tomorrow?" Liu Jinchun smiled. How long has it been since he saw such a nice child?
She smiled and joked, "You help me so much, how about I give you a share of my salary? You see, you are doing a much better job than I am."
"No, no, it's voluntary labor. If you're happy, I'm happy too. It doesn't matter what the money is."
Facts have proved that Ji Ruo's plan is feasible.
Today, Ji Ruo's [Sword and Blade] buff has almost reached the second level, and even the [Sincere Praise from Elders] progress has been reached (4/10), which is a great harvest.
Normally, there are about fifteen days between the end of the martial arts exam and the start of freshman year. Although there was an accident during this martial arts exam and the secret realm martial arts exam system was abolished, it is not certain when freshman year will start.
But Ji Ruo cannot slack off and must seize the time to achieve more.
After saying goodbye to Liu Jinchun, Ji Ruo turned around to look for Luo Qian.
This little guy doesn't seem so afraid of the human world anymore.
…
The yellow sun sets in the west.
"Bang."
The boy fell off the plum blossom pile again.
In fact, his skill in walking on the plum blossom poles had become more and more proficient, but after walking for a day, he was exhausted and kept falling down, with sore body. As a result, he could not persist for as long as he did in the beginning.
But he still walked the plum blossom pole stubbornly again and again.
Those old masters had left long ago, and the child practiced here alone for the whole day.
"Meow meow meow~ (Hahaha, you are so stupid.)"
Rosie watched the boy fall again and giggled.
She had been watching here for a while. Ji Ruo was doing his voluntary weeding and she felt bored, so she started walking in the park alone. Not long ago, she was attracted by this stubborn child.
It's not how the boy looks, but the way he keeps falling down and climbing up again on the plum blossom pole that Rosie finds very interesting.
"Stinky cat."
The boy rubbed his sore ankle and frowned.
Although I couldn't understand what Rosie said, she was no ordinary cat. She was very smart. The expression on her face and her exaggerated body language clearly showed her mockery.
"Meow~ (You scolded the cat! It's rude!)"
The boy frowned and said, "Get away from me, or I'll beat you up, believe it or not!"
Luo Xi's eyes widened: "Meow~ (How dare you be mean to me?)"
As she spoke, Rosie started to trot, and climbed up the plum blossom piles like the boy, jumping up and down on the plum blossom piles with unusually light and graceful movements.
After a while, Rosie finished a round of the plum blossom pole.
She stood on the last plum blossom pole and looked back at the boy, with an extremely strong contempt between her brows.
As if to say: "Just you?"
The boy was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked: "How dare you look down on me!"
He was so angry that he bent down, picked up a lump of mud and threw it at Rosie, but he regretted it as soon as he threw it.
Why are you angry with a cat?
Rosie hurriedly jumped off the plum blossom pile and was not hit by the mud.
She wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue at the boy: "Lululu~"
The boy was so angry that he rushed towards Rosie with his teeth bared.
"Stinky cat! Don't let me catch you!"
"Meow meow~ (Come on, come on! You?)"
Rosie's small body moved around the boy, and the boy couldn't touch her at all.
Although still in its infancy, Rosie is a demon after all.
And the boy is just an ordinary person.
He couldn't catch Rosie.
Rosie had a lot of fun playing catch and escape.
"Rosie! Where are you? It's time to go home!"
Suddenly, Ji Ruo's voice came from a distance.
"Meow~ (Master, I'm here!)"
Rosie leaped forward and stepped on the boy's head and jumped back.
The boy became even angrier.
When I turned around, I saw a white-haired boy walking towards me, and the annoying black cat jumped onto the white-haired boy's shoulder.
Bad boy.
The boy made a subconscious judgment in his mind, took a deep breath, turned around silently, and planned to practice the plum blossom pole for a while.
"I called you so many times, why didn't you answer me?" Ji Ruo rubbed Luo Xi's head, "Is the park fun?"
"Meow~ (Fun!)"
Luo Xi squatted on Ji Ruo's shoulder, raised her little paw and pointed at the boy who was practicing the plum blossom pole, and said, "Meow meow meow~ (Master! He bullied me!)"
"Bully you?" Ji Ruo smiled: "I'm afraid you are bullying others?"
"Meow~ (How is that possible! Rosie is the best!)"
Ji Ruo smiled and shook his head, then took Luo Xi towards the boy.
"Hello, little brother, my name is Ji Ruo." Ji Ruo looked up and said to the boy on the plum blossom pole.
Saying hello first can enhance the language appeal of [Diplomatic Spokesperson].
"Her name is Rosie, she's my pet, and she's a little naughty." Ji Ruo said, "If Rosie did something to make you unhappy, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Hearing this, the boy stood still on the plum blossom pole and looked down at Ji Ruo: "My name is Hu Wang, no need to apologize, your cat didn't bully me."
He would never admit that he was bullied by a little kitten!
…
"Meow meow~ (Master, look at him! He is so cool!)"
Luo Xi pointed at Hu Wang and said angrily.
Ji Ruo smiled and shook his head, saying, "Who told you to bully others?"
"Bang."
Hu Wang fell down again.
Rosie: "Meow meow~ (Master, look, he is so stupid. Since I came here, he has fallen down twelve times. Hahaha.)"
Ji Ruo said seriously: "No matter what the result is, people who work hard should not be laughed at."
“Meow~ (I know.)”
Upon hearing this, Hu Wang looked at Ji Ruo in surprise, and then silently climbed up the plum blossom pile.
While crawling, perhaps the wound was pulled, Hu Wang grimaced in pain, but he didn't say a word and didn't stop moving.
Ji Ruo said, "Little brother, the way you practice is wrong. I see that you are at your age, so you should have just entered junior high school, right? Didn't the school teach you how to walk on the plum blossom pole?"
"I'm in sixth grade!"
Hu Wang's face flushed, and he said stubbornly, "I can walk however I want. Who are you to me? Why do you control me?"
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment.
This child has quite a personality.
Luo Xi said unhappily: "Meow~ (Master, look at him!)"
Ji Ruo thought about it carefully and said, "It seems so. I have no right to manage you."
Having said that, Ji Ruo planned to take Luo Xi away.
At this time, Ji Ruo noticed that the DNA in the large water tank next to him suddenly moved.
The big water tank was used for children to do horse stance. The edge was smooth, so it was not very easy to do horse stance.
There is water in the tank, so even if you fall down it won't hurt much, it just will be a little more uncomfortable.
Ji Ruo put his hand into the water jar and stirred it.
As Ji Ruo stirred, a big vortex gradually appeared in the water in the vat, and the water inside splashed out and wet Ji Ruo's clothes.
Seeing Ji Ruo, who was so old, having so much fun playing in the water, Hu Wang couldn't help but snort, "How childish."
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the martial arts achievement: stirring water in a vat! ]
[Obtained boxing technique: Tai Chi (beginner's guide)]
[Note: A large watermelon can be split into two halves with one palm]
[Note: Tai Chi is a must-have for home and travel, as it helps you cultivate your character, strengthen your body, and maintain hygiene! ]
Ji Ruo: “?”
Improving one's character is fine, and keeping fit is reasonable, but what the hell is cleaning?
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Ruo began to punch slowly.
When Hu Wang saw Ji Ruo start boxing, he secretly watched for a while, but when he saw that Ji Ruo's boxing skills were as slow as a snail, he lost interest.
What's the point of practicing such a slow style of boxing?
He no longer paid attention to Ji Ruo and continued to practice the plum blossom pole seriously.
The sky gradually darkened and the wind suddenly picked up.
