Chapter 5 Eight Vajra Kung Fu

It was completely dark, and the shacks and simple houses on the side of the road were lit with little fires.

The fire flickered with the wind, as if it would go out at any moment.

"Why hasn't my brother come back?"

Tang Tang grabbed the simple wooden door and looked at the entrance of the camp.

Time passed little by little, and the fire in the room behind her was extinguished, and she squatted on the ground without blinking her eyes.

There are many cases of a person leaving camp during the day, not returning at night, and then never returning.

When fetching water or washing clothes, I can always hear those women say that so-and-so’s family has not come back for a day, and the next day they say that they have not come back for two days... three days, five days... After that, no one will say anything.

Tang Tang hugged her arms tightly, and the cold wind of the night made her tremble from the heart.

"Sister, why are you at the door?" Seeing the black shadow on the ground, Tang Wen heaved a sigh of relief. The house was dark and he thought something had happened.

"Brother? How did you come back from there?"

Tang Tang stood up, tears welling up.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Let's go inside!"

"well!"

The siblings went into the shack, picked up the flint and lit the clay stove again.

The flames made their cheeks flushed red.

Before his sister could ask, Tang Wen raised his index finger to his mouth, put his other hand into his bosom, and pulled out the corn bag.

"This is?" a depressing and surprised voice.

After Tang Tang finished speaking, she quickly looked towards the door and took the corn bag with both hands when she saw that there was no movement.

"Four and a half catties of corn, we can have enough to eat today!"

"Where did you come from, are you injured?" Tang Tang grabbed his arm directly, preparing to give his brother a full body check.

Tang Wen quickly waved his hand: "It's okay! Except for being a little tired, there is nothing wrong. By the way, there is this."

He pulled out the last cardinal he had caught today.

"You hit..." After only half a sentence, Tang Tang looked at the door again, paused for a few seconds, and then said in a very small voice: "You hit it with a stone?"

"Well, don't tell anyone."

"Uh-huh!"

Tang Tang nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "This little bird should be exchanged for rice."

Tang Wen lowered his head to look at the skeletal arms of the two of them: "We need to eat meat. Winter is coming, and we won't be able to survive without eating more. Each person eats half!"

Tang Tang's face was full of reluctance: "But didn't you say that a bird can be exchanged for a catty and a half of corn?"

"Don't worry, we can still catch birds tomorrow."

"Well, let's eat it tomorrow, and eat more corn today."

After finishing speaking, she turned to get the rice jar.

Tang Wen: ...

My elder sister seems to be, um, a bit smart.

Gulp, the water is boiling in the clay pot.

Tang Tang slammed down two small handfuls of corn.

"If you put in more, you will definitely be able to catch birds tomorrow."

The taste of hunger is too uncomfortable.

After two days, Tang Wen understood why many people had difficulty losing weight.

Being hungry and exercising non-stop is simply not a human life.

Under the persuasion of his younger brother, Tang Tang added a small handful to the pot.

Coo coo, coo coo.

Their stomachs growled one after another.

Neither sibling said anything.

People who are hungry don't want to talk at all.

When the thick corn porridge was poured into the bowl, the two couldn't wait to pick it up.

While blowing and drinking, in less than 3 minutes, the two bowls of porridge bottomed out.

Tang Tang mixed it with cold water again, boiled two bowls of rice soup, and drank each bowl of rice soup in small sips.

After two bowls of soup, I am [-]% full.

My sister cleaned up the kitchen utensils, and Tang Wen lay on the hay and closed his eyes to rest.

The time now should be seven o'clock in the evening.

In a world without any entertainment, it’s good to go to bed early and get up early...

wrong.

Far from the time of ease!
Tang Wen opened his eyes and remembered that on the way back to the camp today, he met those people squatting on the side of the road trying to rob him.

Fortunately, I was fooled by myself.

But what about next time?

Well, you can't take the main road when you come back.

You can climb a tree or stand on a high place first to observe the situation.

And most importantly, he looked down at his small arms, which were as small as sticks.

Gotta exercise!
Thinking of this, before he was hungry, he stood up and walked to the door, and started to move his body.

Under the puzzled eyes of his sister, Tang Wen stared forward with both eyes, spread his legs, put his palms flat, raised his belly button, spread his arms, put the backs of his hands together on top of his head, and then, with a swipe, thrust straight into the air .

Tang Tang, who was sitting in the room, saw his little head jerk back.

The first form of the Eight Parts Vajra Kung Fu.

For three years, Tang Wen was confined to his home for several months.

The last time, and the longest time, was closed for more than 80 days. The building he rented had confirmed cases every day.

In order to strengthen his resistance, he followed the health-preserving masters on Douyin and learned this set of eight-part Vajra Kungfu.

However, he has only practiced this technique for a few months, and the time is too short to experience any benefits.

Now, Tang Wen hoped that it would be as amazing as the comment section said.

"Sister, you have to remember the movements. You have to practice."

Tang Tang doesn't want to memorize, let alone practice, because he moves too much and gets hungry easily.

But seeing Tang Wen's serious look, she still nodded slightly, and added a handful of dead leaves to the earthen stove to make the fire brighter.

After practicing the eight parts of Vajra Kung Fu in one pass, the body will feel slightly warm.

After a short rest, I started the second time.

And then the third time...

The worry on Tang Tang's face is getting stronger and stronger, will my brother be hungry?You don't want to have another meal, do you?

After the third round of the Eight Parts Vajra Kung Fu, the light in Tang Wen's eyes distorted:
【Name: Tang Wen】

【Age: 14 years and 9 months】

【Body: 0.3】

【Fine: 0.7】

[Skill: Farming Mastery (719/1000)]

[Skill: Stone Throwing, Mastery (67/1000)]

[Skill: Eight Vajra Skills, Beginner (0/500)]

It really became a skill.

This proves that my movements are pretty standard without much distortion.

Tang Wenxuan felt relieved. He had been practicing step by step following the voice prompts in the video. It was the first time that he was not sure about breaking away from the video guidance.

Fortunately, it's done!

It's just that the Eight Parts Vajra Kung Fu is much more complicated than throwing stones. After becoming a skill, the displayed level is not "Beginner", but "Beginner".

But Tang Wen is very satisfied, no matter what, just show the experience bar.

"Sister, do you remember? Next time, you have to practice with me."

And next time?Then you must be hungry, right?

"Xiaowen, what are you practicing?"

Tang Wen casually said: "Two days ago, I met an old man with a white beard. He taught me, and I can become even better after practicing."

Tang Tang suddenly said: "No wonder, these two days you are more hungry than before, are you also practicing during the day?"

"Well, that, we will not lack corn to eat in the future, you have to practice."

After two seconds of silence, Tang Tang said: "Tomorrow, I will practice tomorrow."

Tang Wen didn't force himself, took a sip of water, and came to the door to practice for the fourth time.

Tang Tang sat on the hay, with his arms around his knees, whispering something in a voice that only he could hear.

After the fourth practice, you will gain 5 experience points.

[Skill: Babu Vajra Kungfu, Beginner (0→5/500)]

"call!"

With a weak body, he practiced the eight-part Vajra Kung Fu four times in a row, and his body is already slightly sweating.

Without continuing, Tang Wen went back to the house, lay on the hay, chatted with Tang Tang casually, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, when I heard Tang Wen who hadn't woken up yet, his stomach was already growling.

Tang Tang was cruel, and put three handfuls of corn into the pot, and cooked two bowls of fragrant and thick porridge.

After eating, in the voice of my sister's advice.

Tang Wen left the camp and walked into the barren woods.

Everyone knows that the coming winter will be difficult.

So even the edible bark was stripped clean.

People have a hard time, and so do birds.

After searching for a while, he saw several cardinals perched on the trees.

Summarizing yesterday's experience, Tang Wen's shots were more calm.

The four red-billed sparrows were startled several times by their own kind, but they all landed on nearby trees, and Tang Wen stared at them. Three of the four died.

But these three red-billed sparrows were all that Tang Wen had harvested in the morning.

At noon, he returned to camp.

"Three more? Xiaowen is too good!"

Tang Tang was in high spirits.

Then, as if she thought of something, she quickly closed the door, and said a series of instructions:

"In exchange for corn, you can't go to the rice shop yesterday! There is also a shop on the east side of the camp that I heard is a black shop. You can't go there, and you can't change too much rice at once..."

After Tang Wen listened patiently, she said something that made her very tangled: "I can't change too much rice, we have to eat meat."

"Ah", the young lady's eyebrows are all tangled together: "Okay."
