Chapter 237: Preparations before retreat

The rice porridge made with Ganlie mountain spring and Fengcheng's special fragrant rice over a slow fire can be described as sweet and thick. If it can be served with a small dish of preserved vegetables, it can be described as a treat for the teeth and cheeks!

In the morning light of this day, it can be said that after the five of them entered the mountain, they enjoyed a normal breakfast for the first time.

At the dinner table, the elegantly dressed Zhao Hongxue held the porcelain bowl in her hands, touched the spoon with her red lips, and gently poured the warm rice soup into her mouth.From the looks of it, she is no different from a lady with a decent appearance.

"Why is everyone looking at me? Is my face dirty somewhere?" Zhao Hongxue's face flushed slightly, her eyes seemed to be full of autumn water, and her soft voice was like a spring breeze blowing through people's hearts.

Li Weizhen quickly lowered his head, and said awkwardly: "This porridge is a bit hot, I'll wait for it to cool down."

Then, he winked at An Lan and Ye Tong cryptically, and said solemnly: "You two don't hurry up and eat, the study room is full of books now, you two can't miss your homework, after you finish eating, hurry up and recite the books!"

The two children didn't dare to disagree at this juncture, so they kept their heads down and worked hard.

Xia Chan beside Zhao Hongxue also helped to change the subject: "Sister Xue, I will take you to pick wild vegetables later! On the way, I will tell you more about what happened when we first met!"

Zhao Hongxue nodded calmly and said in thanks, "Well, then there will be sister Lao!"

Zhao Hongxue probably woke up around the fourth watch of the night, and everyone was so happy at that time.But after the enthusiasm passed, it became clear that the Zhao Hongxue in front of them was no longer the Zhao Hongxue they knew!

Even though the reborn Zhao Hongxue quickly accepted her past and identity, she never had a single word of doubt about what Li Weizhen and the others said.

In the eyes of strangers, the Zhao Hongxue in front of him is an excellent woman in the world, with a golden voice, a jade charm, and a beautiful heart!

As the saying goes: A fair lady is a gentleman.That's right, that's exactly what happened!

But for Zhao Hongxue like this, besides strangeness, Li Weizhen couldn't give another adjective.

That heroic, self-willed, often unexpected, very personal Zhao Hongxue is the existence that makes someone linger in his dreams and is unforgettable.

But at least it is fair that Zhao Hongxue has become a stranger in everyone's eyes, and they are the same in Zhao Hongxue's eyes!

Li Weizhen kept comforting himself in his heart and said: "Take it as a joke from God, and take it as a chance to get to know each other again!"

After breakfast, Li Weizhen was not in a hurry to experiment with the Xuan Mi Rebirth Pill, whether it really had the ability to completely cut off past memories, and to instill many things in Zhao Hongxue that he really wanted to say in his heart.

Don't be in a hurry, even if it is a serious illness, it will take time to recover, let alone resurrection from the dead?

Feeling restless, Li Weizhen can only hope to do something else to distract his attention so as to achieve peace of mind.

The first thing to do is to build a stove.Although there is already a Kanshan stove, but a stove can cook rice but not vegetables, let alone boil water for bathing and have to set up a big pot.

Now that Zhao Hongxue has no cultivation base, it is equivalent to having one more mortal, and the facilities in life must be improved as soon as possible.

Li Weizhen promised himself that he would do his best to give Zhao Hongxue a good life.He didn't want to break his promise on such a matter within his power.

The first time is raw, the second time is familiar. After gaining the experience of the last time, Li Weizhen spent only half of the time building a large mountain-looking stove with two adjacent stove doors, one large and one small.

Then there is the construction of the bamboo house. For Li Weizhen, this is completely a layman's skill.

Fortunately, when sharpening a knife in front of battle, it is also thanks to having a whetstone by his side.The pile of books on civil engineering that I bought in Yanqintang was not bought to put on the bookshelf and eat ashes for decoration.

If there were no books from beginner to advanced, maybe Li Weizhen would just think of a way to tie up the pile of bamboos with homemade hemp rope, and forget it.

But now, Li Weizhen can try to learn how to use the mortise and tenon structure while turning the pages of the book to fix and splice the bamboos out of the frame.

If you learn one by one, there are as many as eight methods of connecting bamboo in the book.

For example, some bamboo houses with special beam structures need to bake and bend the bamboo in advance, and then saw the gaps to clamp.If you want the frame to be strong and durable, you can insert it through the opening, and add hemp rope for reinforcement.

In addition, there are many methods of weaving bamboo products, and these are the ones that Li Weizhen is worth taking the time to find out.

Taking a step back, even within a few days, Li Weizhen really didn't have the talent in this area of ​​craftsmanship, and couldn't learn one or two useful methods.He also didn't mind going to Funan City to pay a visit to Luo Yicheng, and then spending favors to invite him to help.

In Li Weizhen's life path in the past few years, he met some bad people, and also met many people who helped him with all his strength.Indispensable among them is Wen Renyu, who has extended a helping hand in times of crisis several times and can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend.

For a while, Li Weizhen was very resistant to asking for help.After all, with a young heart, he always hopes to solve all problems by himself.To put it mildly, this is called personality independence.But the disadvantage is that it is easy to be weak and weak, and get twice the result with half the effort.In the sect, it will even affect the unity virtually.

It was Wen Renyu who enlightened him and said: "I used to be like you. I felt that I would be useless if I received favors from others, or asked them to do things, and I felt very embarrassed."

"But in fact, if I can proceed from reality, let go of my face, and do things well, then I am mature; after that, if I earn my face back through my own efforts, then I am capable People; when one day, I can rely on my own face to get a lot of things, then I will be really successful!"

"From failure to success, it takes a process. The first thing we need to do is to recognize ourselves and what stage we are in now!"

Li Wei really remembers this passage very well, and it is also one of the creeds that support him to get up after falling again and again, pat his ass and continue to move forward!

It's just going back to the original point, nothing, I'm still alive!

Therefore, at this stage, Li Weizhen still hopes to try hard. If the hard work fails, then he will retreat to the previous stage without hesitation.While being humble, continue to work hard to get things done!

The next two or three days is a time limit that Li Weizhen has set for himself. He must finish the chores at hand within this time limit.Once the time limit is over, he will start to retreat and break through the realm.Only by taking another big step up can he have some confidence to deal with the future.

After a busy day, the land was once again shrouded in darkness.

After dinner, Li Weizhen sat on the steps under the porch and began to fix the bow string with a mixture of hemp rope and beef tendon to the bow tire.He bought the beef tendon from the blacksmith shop in Fengcheng. It was not expensive, and a bundle was available for a tael of silver. It was semi-processed and soaked in oil.

You can easily buy a lot of good monster tendons in Donglin Night Market, but they are not available nowadays.Even today's ordinary beef tendon only needs to be pulled out a thin thread and combined with hemp thread to make a string. The amount is too much. It is okay to say with Ye Tong's arm strength, but An Lan might not be able to pull it.

After the bowstring was fixed, Li Weizhen asked Ye Tong to try to pull it, and when he let go of his hand lightly, the bowstring clanked, full of strength.And the bow tire made of ginkgo wood also withstands this force very well, very satisfied!

At night, Li Weizhen didn't give Yu Jian Ye Tong a real test, but said earnestly: "When I was not at home, you were the only man in the family. You should make good use of this bow!"

Although there are few people in the deep mountains, after spring, many wild animals will be active and frequent.And Xia Chan would go up to the mountain to collect herbs from time to time, there were no barrier traps around the house, if any beasts appeared at that time, Zhao Hongxue would have lost all her cultivation, and the freckled boy would not know when to wake up.

In this way, someone has to shoulder more responsibility.

Ye Tong nodded heavily and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will practice archery for two hours!"

Li Weizhen smiled gratifiedly and said: "You have a good background, one hour is enough, don't go too far!"

Ye Tong nodded in agreement, but Li Weizhen smiled again: "Sometimes, compared to An Lan, I will be stricter with you, and I seldom get compliments from me. They are all my students, but they are partial, you will Won't you feel bad?"

Ye Tong shook his head and said, "I will only try my best to meet my husband's expectations, and don't let him down on me. With my background, it is already very good to be able to receive the careful teaching of my husband! As for the icing on the cake award, not important!"

Li Weizhen stood up, walked to Ye Tong, pointed to the stars in the sky, and said, "It doesn't matter whether these words come from your heart or not. But I really want to tell you: street jugglers, singers on stage, those people need applause, And you...you are Ye Tong, my student of Li Weizhen! Perhaps, in the future, you will be my first disciple!"
