"Master Xiaoling, isn't this mountain too high? How can we climb to the top of the mountain in half an hour?" Yue Xuan asked.
"Don't be in a hurry to deny yourself yet, I didn't say that you'd only be given half an hour for your first climb, but no matter how many times you climb, whoever can be the first to climb to the top of the mountain within half an hour will receive my personal guidance, which will be of great benefit to you! I will record the time you take each time! I hope you guys will take shorter time than each other one at a time, go for it! Youngsters!" Xiaoling explained to the twelve people.
Without saying a word, Yue Yang took the lead and ran towards the mountain, followed closely by the remaining eleven people.
After running for about a stick of incense, they couldn't hold on any longer. The mountain was too steep. Yue Jiao, who seemed to be the smallest among the twelve, couldn't climb anymore. Sweat dripped down her cheeks.
Yue Yang and Yue Xiao, who were running in front, were also a little exhausted and leaned against the tree pole nearby, panting.
At this time, Xiaoling's voice rang out: "That won't work? It seems that your lady is looking at the wrong person!"
"No...no, the little...miss saw us right. No matter how long it takes, we will definitely be able to climb to the top of the mountain!" Yue Yang panted, and after saying that, he took off again and continued to move forward, but obviously the speed was not as fast as at the beginning.
When the others saw that Yue Yang had already started running, they followed behind without giving up. Even though their legs were a little weak, they still persisted.
About one-third of the way up, there was a basin of spiritual spring water in front of everyone, which Xiaoling had placed in advance.
Everyone came to the basin, their faces were already flushed, and their hair was dripping with water. Seeing that the basin was exactly the same as the water the lady had given them to drink before, they all swallowed their saliva. The feeling of dry mouth became more intense, but they did not dare to drink it easily because they did not receive instructions.
"Drink! This is a reward for you, it will help you recover your strength!" Xiaoling's voice spoke.
Several people couldn't bear it any longer, and one by one they held the basins and started drinking.
A basin of water was drunk, and their physical strength recovered a lot.
"Keep climbing after drinking. You can't stop. Only under constant pressure can people develop greater potential!" Xiaoling continued.
The twelve didn't hesitate and continued to start climbing towards the top of the mountain, and eventually some of them had begun to climb upwards on their hands and knees.
One of them surprised Xiaoling the most, that boy named Yue Lang. Although he was not the fastest, he was the most perseverant. Even if others are stopping to catch their breath, he is the only one who will move forward slowly step by step even if his legs and feet are weak.
The space does not distinguish between day and night. They didn't know how long they had been climbing. Their stomachs were already growling with hunger, but they still persisted. The last one to crawl was Yue Jiao, but Yue Wu was in front and kept close to her and sometimes help her out.
When the winner was just one step away, Yue Yang, who was walking in the first place, showed a happy smile. After taking a step forward, he instantly fell to the ground and could not get up again. He just wanted to sleep now. When other people climbed up one after another, they all collapsed to the ground.
Xiaoling's voice sounded again: "Yes, it took the first one two hours and half a stick of incense to climb up, and the last little girl took three hours, but you all persisted. I believe you can shorten the time little by little next time, so that it will be easy to climb up. As your physical fitness improves, when you encounter an opponent in the future, you will last longer than the opponent, and you may even be able to save your own life."
"Yes, Master Xiaoling!" All twelve people replied weakly.
After Qibao exited the space, she had also contacted Xiaoling's congregation after the twelve had trained for this period of time, before giving a satisfied smile.
.......
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, the village chief's house has been built with a large part of the house, can already see what looks like after the construction, the villagers are very happy, the future of their own house will be the same way, can be really beautiful.
Autumn is coming soon, and the grain in the fields is ready to be harvested. All the children and elderly people in the family have gone to the fields, hoping to harvest the grain early so that they can dig crayfish ponds.
The old man will also take his three sons to help out in the field, since the family business, they basically do not have to go down to the ground, but the previous crop handles have not forgotten, doing it now doesn't feel raw.
When the villagers have all the grain harvested, they also have to start digging ponds. If it's late, you won't see any crayfish when the weather cools off, and the catching won't even be good anymore.
The villagers who could only spare part to build houses began to dig fish ponds, but this was done to help the Xu family. The old man had to pay everyone whatever he said. After all, this is all about physical strength, and the strong laborers in the village have to do two jobs a day, which is really very tiring.
The four wolves often run into the mountains and catch some prey to give to the villagers. This is what the old man asked them to do.
It's definitely impossible to live without eating meat, so White Wolf can be eaten in every household in Xujia Village.
The villagers would share whatever good things they had with the white wolf, and everyone liked them very much. As a result, the sons of Bai Shuang and Bai Xue became more and more stinky. They often chased the dogs in the village and barked, but they would not harm these dogs. It was just for fun. The villagers turned a blind eye when they saw their dogs being bullied.
On this day, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li's parents came over.
Mrs. Wang welcomed the two in-laws in, and Ms. Chen took out the money she had earned over the past few months from her arms and said: "Older sister, I have never been free before. Today, Sister Zhao and I took the time to come here and specially sent your family's share of the money!"
"Ai! What's the rush? It doesn't matter when it's delivered. There's no need to rush. How's the vermicelli workshop doing lately?" Mrs. Wang took the money and asked.
"How can it be the same, the silver is as much as it should be, everything is fine in the workshop, and our village has planted potatoes, thanks to your Xu family, otherwise, how could I have seen so much silver clamoring into my pockets? The people of our village are all very grateful to you, and have asked me to come and say thank you, their families have been better off since the potatoes were sold for money!" Mrs. Chen exclaimed.
"Ai! What's this! Everyone earns money with their own labor, so what's the point of saying thank you or not, since the two in-laws' mothers are here, let's stay at home for lunch." Mrs. Wang said.
"Okay, we came here with this intention, haha." The two people laughed.
Mrs. Chunlan beside Mrs. Wang's side hurriedly served two cups of tea and placed them in front of Mrs. Chen's and Mrs. Zhao's presence, and the two of them took the cups and took a sip, saying: "Older sister is the one who enjoys the blessings, you can see that she has been taken care of by others."
Mrs. Wang exclaimed: "With your family's current strength, it's not simple to buy a subordinate, why are you teasing me instead?"
Mrs. Chen spoke: "I'm not used to being served by others. It's always a tiring life. I just want to guard our three vermicelli workshops and take good care of them."
"Actually, I wasn't used to it at first, but now I'm used to it. It just so happens that this girl Chunlan can still chat with me, just like having someone by my side who follows me every day to relieve my boredom." Mrs. Wang's said.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Sister, you are destined to have a good life. You see, each of your sons is capable and filial, and even the grandsons are as good as they are. This is a blessing that we cannot envy."
