In the first stage, you need to meditate, breathe, and guide for a long time before you can enter a deep sleep.

It took Ling Yi more than a year to finally, with the help of the spiritual talents brought by this new life and his sleepy body condition as a child, successfully tame his active and lively heart and enter a deep sleep.

After that, I spent nearly a year figuring out and creating the "Crystal Meditation Method 1.0", and initially reached the second stage. I can enter deep sleep anytime and anywhere, and last longer!

Since successfully mastering deep sleep, Ling Yi often only needs one hour of deep sleep to get the resting effect of eight hours of ordinary sleep, and his body develops better too!

Now, Ling Yi, who is still half a year away from turning four, is already as tall as six or seven-year-old children in the same village. He is only slightly shorter than his cousin Zhang Lei. In addition, his skin is fair and delicate, which makes him very popular among young girls and wives in the surrounding area.

Although he is still young, because the Ling family's living conditions have improved in recent years and they have become a superior household in Shanhai Village, the number of people who come to them to arrange marriages for their children is no less than that of his cousin Zhang Lei!

In the woods, under an "iron birch tree" that can be hugged by one person.

Ling Yi exuded a peaceful and tranquil aura, and he transmitted this aura to Miaomiao, who was lying on his knees, at close range by caressing her.

As Ling Yi's white and tender little hand stroked Miao Miao from head to toe, Miao Miao squinted her eyes comfortably, feeling drowsy, her nostrils slightly closed and made a sound similar to snoring.

The cat's abdominal cavity bulges and makes a rhythmic "gurgling" sound inside its stomach, just like an engine roaring softly, which is very unique and rhythmic.

“Ayi——!!”

A loud shout came from not far away.

The half-asleep meow was suddenly awakened. As if frightened, the little guy's limbs instinctively jumped up and his hair stood up!

At this time, it arched its back, its spine like a big dragon, its muscles and bones stretched naturally, and it made bursts of ringing sounds again!

All of this was clearly sensed by Ling Yi, whose palm happened to cover its back, and then reflected in his mind and sea of ​​consciousness!

Ling Yi raised his lips slightly: "Tiger Leopard...Lei Yin...hu——"

Ling Yi gently stroked the smooth fur on Miaomiao's back to calm it down. He then turned his gaze towards the direction of the voice and looked at the two figures approaching. He smiled and asked:

"Brother Lei, Ah Huang, how was the harvest?"

Chapter 10 Import of additional children

Outside Shanhai Village, on the country dirt road.

Two figures, one yellow and one gray, were in front, running and walking with agile steps. From time to time, they would run back for a while, shaking their heads and wagging their tails, showing their joy.

Behind, Ling Yi and Zhang Lei walked side by side, walking briskly, neither fast nor slow.

Ling Yi was empty-handed, his eyes not looking ahead or at the path under his feet, but wandering around, browsing with some satisfaction the large area of ​​"Blue Silver Grass" that came into view.

Except for a few that already existed, most of these were the results of the "Blue Silver Grass" seeds that Ling Yi and Zhang Lei had sown while playing in and around Shanhai Village in the past two years.

If you look down at Shanhai Village from the sky, you will find that the entire village is surrounded by "blue silver grass" and immersed in a sea of ​​blue, as if it were an island in the sea.

Not long after, the two returned to the Ling family's courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, they heard a loud cry suddenly. After looking at each other, Zhang Lei picked up the two live rabbits and three dead pheasants in his hand, and walked silently towards the Ling family's kitchen.

After taking a look at Zhang Lei's back, Ling Yi shook his head and walked towards the main house surrounded by Ah Huang and Miaomiao.

Before I reached the door, another cry was heard, alternating with the previous one, as if they were performing a duet, making my brain buzz.

He walked into the door with a calm expression. The light inside was slightly darker than outside, and it felt softer and cooler. Ling Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while of adapting to the change in light and darkness, he saw two figures sitting at the square table in the middle of the room.

In other words, there are four dishes, two large and two small.

"Xiao Yi is back~" When mother Zhang Xiaoyu saw Ling Yi, her distressed expression suddenly became a little relaxed, and she hurriedly said: "Come and see, what happened to your brother——"

As he spoke, he handed the little baby in his arms towards Ling Yi.

"And this little guy~" Aunt Ling He stood up while holding another little guy in her arms, shaking him gently as she spoke.

Ling Shan, who was born in March this year, is less than seven months old and is Ling Yi's younger brother.

Zhang Xin was born in the cold winter of last year. He will be ten months old in a few days. He is Zhang Lei’s younger brother.

Without waiting for the two mothers to move, Ling Yi took two steps at a time and came to their sides, extending his hands to the little faces of the two little ones.

Her movements were gentle, and the tranquil aura she exuded became even more leisurely.

The index and middle fingers of both hands were slightly bent, and the backs of the fingers scraped the two tender and tofu-like cheeks.

The magical thing is that with Ling Yi's contact, the two children who were originally crying non-stop gradually became quieter and finally stopped. They just pouted their lips in grievance and looked uncomfortable.

After observing closely for a few breaths, Ling Yi's eyes moved slightly. His left hand reached into Ling He's arms and pulled at the bottom of the old thin quilt that wrapped Zhang Xin. He said, "Aunt, you tied the quilt too tight. Xiao Xin's feet are uncomfortable—"

Ling He suddenly realized: "I was wondering why this little guy kept kicking his legs and fluttering today——"

Then, Ling Yi retracted his left hand, stretched out both hands forward, took his younger brother Ling Shan from his mother Zhang Xiaoyu's arms, held him horizontally with his left hand, loosened the thin quilt in front of Ling Shan with his right hand, reached in, placed his palms on the little guy's stomach, and gently rubbed it.

After a few seconds, the little guy opened his mouth and let out a breath with a "burp!", and his originally wrinkled face relaxed.

"Okay~" Ling Yi handed Ling Shan back to his mother Zhang Xiaoyu, saying, "Xiao Shan had bloating from drinking milk, but she's fine now~"

"Next time when you feed him, pay attention to the way you hold him, and don't let your tummy get cold..."

Ling Yi spoke to the two breastfeeding mothers patiently and carefully.

Although these two have sons as old as Ling Yi and Zhang Lei respectively, they are, after all, just village women in their twenties. When it comes to taking care of babies, they can only do the usual care knowledge such as feeding, bathing, coaxing them to sleep, changing diapers, etc.

Most of the time, when a baby cries, their first reaction is to feed the baby and check whether the baby has urinated or defecated. If the baby does not eat and the diaper is dry, then they can only start to get busy and check the causes one by one.

Most of the time, the child will get better on his own and stop crying before the problem is even diagnosed.

Living in the fields, in order to survive, even breastfeeding women do not have much time to take good care of their newborns. They devote all their energy to the fields, working for food.

Anyway, this is how Zhang Lei spent his early childhood.

And compared with babies in the same village or even in some surrounding villages, Zhang Lei received a lot of care.

As for Ling Yi, in the words of his uncle Zhang Dahe, he is the most well-behaved and least troublesome little guy. There is only one such kid in the area over the years.

……

At noon, Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe returned one after the other. One of them had a hatchet on his waist and a bundle of firewood behind him, and the other was carrying a fish basket.

Ling Yi: "Dad~"

Zhang Lei: "Dad——!"

The two children walked towards their fathers respectively, with smiles appearing subconsciously on their faces.

"Dad~" Ling Yi swept the firewood behind Ling Xiaoshan and said, "Did you go to the old forest?"

"Hmm~" Ling Xiaoshan nodded, leaned forward to pick up Ling Yi, and walked towards his own yard without stopping, saying: "Yesterday I saw that there was not much firewood at home. There was nothing to do in the fields this morning, so I went to the old forest to get some firewood--"

"Uncle~" Zhang Lei was held in Zhang Dahe's arms. He withdrew his gaze from his father's shoulder to the fish basket, turned to Ling Xiaoshan and said, "So you also went to the old forest. If I had known earlier, Ayi and I would have gone to look for you..."

"Oh?"

Seeing his son Zhang Lei say this, Zhang Dahe raised his eyebrows and asked, "From what you heard, you two little guys also ran to the old forest this morning?"

Hearing Zhang Dahe's question, which sounded neither sad nor happy, Zhang Lei shrank his neck and muttered softly, "I...we only wandered around outside the old forest, we didn't go inside..."

"You two," Ling Xiaoshan frowned, withdrew his gaze from Zhang Lei, looked at Ling Yi in his arms, and said in a lower voice, "That old forest is very dangerous. There are poisonous creatures such as the dog snake, the big flower spider, and the black star scorpion. There are also wolves, wild boars, and leopards deep in the forest..."

"If we run into those fierce ones, not to mention you two little guys, even us adults will be in trouble!"

"Dad~Uncle~"

Ling Yi understood the concerns of his father and uncle about the two of them, pursed his lips, and said softly: "We know, we only wandered around the outside, the periphery, we won't go inside."

"In addition~" Ling Yi paused, looked at the cat and dog that had come to their feet and were circling around, and then said: "And Ah Huang and Miaomiao are here--"

Hearing this, Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe also turned their gazes to the yellow dog and gray cat beside their legs. They were about to preach, but swallowed the words they were about to say.

There was no way. The two-and-a-half-year-old Ah Huang now looked quite strong, comparable to the wild wolves they had seen at the Beikouhe Town market in the early years, those wild wolves that hunters sold to wealthy families and restaurant merchants!

Miaomiao, who is the same age, is not as big as Ah Huang, but with its streamlined body and agile posture, it looks like a small leopard.

With the strength and alertness of these two bodyguards, they are enough to ensure the safety of Ling Yi and Zhang Lei at least within the area three to five miles outside the old forest.

"Okay~"*2

Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

There is no other way. Not to mention that Zhang Lei is six years old this year and will soon undergo the martial soul awakening ceremony, possessing his own martial soul and thus having a certain degree of autonomy.

Even Ling Yi, although well-behaved since childhood, has always had positive ideas. He always has all kinds of fantastic but convincing reasons and ideas.

While the two pairs of fathers and sons were talking, the two women in the family had already prepared the meal and began to invite the four people into the house to eat.

Current living conditions are several times better than before. As Ling Yi and Zhang Lei are able to take care of themselves, and Ling Shan and Zhang Xin are about to turn one year old, the two families have already planned to have a third child.

It can be predicted that in the future, the Ling and Zhang families will surely prosper and flourish!

Chapter 11: First Encounter Awakening

The eighth day of the eleventh month in the 2594th year of the Douluo calendar.

The [Shuimu Principality], located in the northeast of Douluo Continent, has early welcomed the decoration of silver.

Heavy snow fell for several days in a row, and 99% of the people stayed safely at home, quietly enjoying the rare leisure and tranquility of the year.

However, early that morning, three generations of the Ling and Zhang families got up early and gathered at Zhang Dahe's house, silently waiting for something.

Time passed by minute by minute, the cold wind was howling outside, the sky was still gloomy, and heavy snow was falling.

While waiting, Grandpa Ling Changqing and Grandpa Zhang Qiang each held a pipe and took a puff from time to time, while Grandma Yan Hong and Grandma Lu Yun lowered their heads and sewed the soles of shoes stitch by stitch.

Zhang Xiaoyu and Ling He were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen.

In the inner room, Ling Shan and Zhang Xin were still sleeping soundly in the warm quilt.

Beside the bed, Ling Yi sat on a low stool, resting his elbows on the edge of the bed. He raised his fists and pressed his left and right thumbs on his temples on both sides. He used the inner side of the second section of his left and right index fingers to scrape the eye sockets up and down in a circle. The upper side started from the eyebrows to the ends of the eyebrows, and the lower side started from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye, first up and then down, scraping up and down in a circle.

At the end of the bed, Zhang Lei was sitting on a low stool like Ling Yi, and his movements were consistent with his.

Just as the "Eye Exercises" in the hands of the two were about to end, Ling Yi's movements paused for a moment, and then returned to normal. Together with Zhang Lei, who was unaware of anything, he completed the first round of eye acupoint massage today.

After a few breaths, the door of Zhang's courtyard was pushed open from the outside, and a figure wearing a snow cape walked in.

In the white environment, Ling Xiaoshan's slightly dark face was relatively conspicuous. At this moment, the skin that seemed rough in the past seemed a little not tough enough, and had a numb feeling. From the brow bone, there was a slight pain from the cold going deep into the head.

Ling Xiaoshan ignored the discomfort and had no intention of entering the house. He stood in the yard and shouted to the inside: "Leizi! Come with me! The soul master is about to enter the village!"

After hearing what Ling Xiaoshan shouted, the four old men in the room could no longer sit still. They put their pipes, needles and thread, and half-sewn shoe soles on the wooden table, stood up, and turned their eyes to the door curtain of the inner room.

The next second, before Zhang Qiang could speak, the door curtain was lifted and Zhang Lei rushed out quickly.

Following closely behind, Ling Yi walked out of the room.

At this moment, except for Ling Shan and Zhang Xin who were sleeping unaware, everyone in the family, from Ling Changqing and Zhang Qiang to Ling Yi and Zhang Lei, looked slightly excited.

Without wasting any time, Ling Yi and Zhang Lei, who had wrapped themselves into balls, pushed open the door and walked out of the yard with Ling Xiaoshan against the wind and snow.

Behind them, pairs of eyes full of expectation stared straight at the backs of the two children, one big and two small, and gradually disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

As if he could feel these expectant gazes, Ling Xiaoshan now felt that the wind and snow in the sky were not so cold anymore.

Turning his head to look at the two little guys beside him, especially the excitement and anxiety on Zhang Lei's face, Ling Xiaoshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I was like this more than a decade ago..."

"pity--"

Two barely perceptible words came out of Ling Xiaoshan's mouth and instantly melted into the ubiquitous cold wind, disappearing without a trace.

Shanhai Village is not big. After a while, the three of them arrived at the center of the village, in front of a stone house that looked relatively gorgeous and solemn.

At this time, there were already six or seven figures of different sizes, standing there in the cold wind and heavy snow. Even though their bodies were shaking uncontrollably, their eyes were filled with longing.

"Little Mountain~"

Zhang Dahe walked forward to greet the three people, nodded to Ling Xiaoshan, then turned his gaze to his son Zhang Lei. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. He simply raised his big hands, which were a little stiff from the cold, and stroked the rabbit fur hat on Zhang Lei's head, rubbing it gently.

Feeling his father's familiar movements, Zhang Lei's originally uneasy mood seemed to be relieved, and he suddenly felt not so nervous anymore.

On the side, Ling Yi, who witnessed all this, remained silent, just watched and waited quietly.

It is true that if Ling Yi mobilized his own mental power and used guidance methods such as language and gestures, he could have resolved Zhang Lei's nervousness, but Ling Yi did not do so in the end.

Sometimes, experiencing some things personally and feeling the ups and downs of emotions is also necessary for growth.

The constant calmness, which was achieved by external forces, was harmful rather than beneficial to Zhang Lei, who was just over six years old!

The clouds in the sky grew thicker and the north wind howled incessantly, forcing people to bend down and submit to the power of nature.
