Chapter 543 The Moon and Rice Ears
In southern Hunan Province, a county-level guest house has its own small courtyard.
The temperature has warmed up a bit, but it's still breathtaking, especially after dark.
Zhou Rui was wearing sportswear, holding a handful of stones in one hand and talking on the phone with the other.
"Can Uncle Han walk on his own?"
Han Ziyin's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, except for getting tired easily after a long time, I have basically recovered. However, the doctor does not recommend returning to work immediately, because sitting for a long time is still not enough."
Zhou Rui said: "It's been more than ten days. It's really hard for Uncle Han. By the way, are you going to start school soon? Is there anyone at home by then?"
Han Ziyin's voice contained a little smile: "What do you think?"
Although there was no need to avoid people, Zhou Rui still looked around, and then asked in a low voice: "Have there been any changes with those two?"
Han Ziyin also lowered her voice: "How should I say it? You'll know when you get back."
You can still vaguely hear Li Wenqian's voice coming from the phone: "Uncle Han, it's time for you to go for a walk. Mom, you should come too. You two should go for a walk."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Rui rubbed the stones in his hand.
I thought it was better to have two families than to become one family.
That myself.
No, no, no, hold on, don't get excited!
Let’s gain experience first.
Zhou Rui took a breath of cold air.
With a casual throw, seven stones flew far away, some fell on the road, some fell in the soil, and some fell under the tree.
I've been playing this set a lot lately, and it's a little boring. Zhou Rui has recently started to make it more difficult for himself.
He forced himself to calculate the rough route before the stone hit the ground and set off. He was so fast that he could create an afterimage, shuttling back and forth between the seven points.
He even secretly used the "Fang's Secret Technique" technique and [explosive power] entry.
He is really fast!
It also feels very powerful, like a flexible humanoid dump truck.
"Entry task [Agility], experience value +1, current progress (35/100)"
After gaining some experience, Zhou Rui was not satisfied. He threw the stone in his hand and threw it far away again.
start up!
Zhou Rui accelerated suddenly and picked up the pebbles one by one. The speed was so fast that even the grass turned over.
However, when picking up the fifth stone, a slow figure just walked out from behind the tree.
Elder!
"Fuck!"
Zhou Rui made an emergency stop, but in the end he couldn't stop, so he could only do a backflip on the tree trunk before he could stop.
Good risk, good risk, almost all the merits have been cleared again
The elder was holding a cigarette in his mouth and obviously didn't react. After a while, he tentatively said: "Monkey show?"
He also did a Sun Wukong action.
This old man is quite humorous.
Little did I know that I was almost sent to another world just now
Zhou Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No, I'll just do some exercise at night."
Seeing the cigarette in the senator's hand, he said, "Are you exceeding the limit again?"
The senator glared at him and made a "shh" gesture.
After bumping into the veteran, Zhou Rui simply stopped practicing and the two of them took a walk in the small courtyard.
"Are you here specifically to smoke?"
Elder: "I just wrote a letter and it was so dazzling that I went out for a walk."
Zhou Rui asked curiously: "Who should I write to?"
Elder: "You should ask what was written?"
"What did you write?"
"Of course I am writing a letter! Hahaha, cough!"
The senator was a long-time smoker and always coughed up phlegm habitually, especially when the weather was cold, so he laughed twice.
Zhou Rui patted the veteran on the back and said, "You should quit smoking as soon as possible."
The veteran waved his hand: "I have been smoking for more than sixty years, and the doctors don't dare to let me quit, for fear that my body will not be able to bear it."
Zhou Rui couldn't help but compare the elders and old man Mi.
In terms of age, Old Man Mi is older than the elders, not just a little older, but more than ten years older.
But in terms of health, Old Man Mi is obviously much better.
Zhou Rui thought for a moment and said, "Old man, oh, you're trying to get in trouble. Old man, I have a way to strengthen your body. How about teaching it to you? Can you think of it as martial arts?"
The elder smiled and said: "I am too old to do monkey tricks."
"Uh, no, it's a Taoist thing."
Zhou Rui introduced the origin of "Six Qigong". The elder didn't pay attention at first, but he heard that there was an "elder brother" who was older than him. He was in his nineties and was still agile, clear-headed and a little excited.
He still wants to work for a few more years.
There's still a lot of things that haven't been done yet.
"Please make a gesture and I'll see if it's difficult or not."
An old man and a young man, in the small courtyard of the guest house, Zhou Rui taught the elders the movements one by one.
Just like in Hongqi Village, Old Man Mi showed it to Zhou Rui.
I don’t know if this is considered a kind of inheritance.
The things left behind by the wild Taoist priests will eventually have their own time to shine.
It's a pity that the veteran's health is considered acceptable among his peers, but it is still difficult to be able to perform a set of six qigong from the very beginning.
Finishing it in six breaths is too difficult for a smoker who has been smoking for more than sixty years.
But it just so happens that as long as you practice diligently, even if you start late and cannot achieve the results of Mr. Mi, you can at least exercise your lung capacity and improve your health.
The veteran tried three times and memorized all the movements, but he couldn't finish it in six breaths and had to take eight or ten breaths.
"I originally said I would go to bed after smoking, but how could you wake up after practicing this!"
Zhou Rui said: "Being awake means that you have practiced correctly! There is no need to rush. You can play every morning and evening and treat it as exercise."
The elder laughed: "I hope this set of things can make me live a few more years!"
"Yes, as long as you stick to it!"
The elder wanted to light another cigarette, but Zhou Rui snatched it away. He shook his head and said: "People will die sooner or later. It's meaningless to live a long life without happiness~"
Zhou Rui advised: "Don't you want to work for a few more years and cultivate more powerful rice?"
The elder put his hands behind his back and strolled on the quiet path: "I want to, I always tell people that I want to see 3,000 kilograms per mu before I die. But it's hard to see now."
He looked up at the moon, but his declining eyesight made him see the moon a little blurry, with only a hazy outline.
Now, these eyes can only see the rice ears clearly.
"When I was young, I had a dream that the rice in the field was so tall that people could sit under it to enjoy the coolness. The rice ears were as big and dense as brooms, and the rice inside was the same as peanuts."
The elder's voice was a little nostalgic and excited.
"After waking up, I calculated that if I wanted to enjoy the coolness under the rice, the rice had to grow taller than people. It was estimated that the yield per mu would be 3,000 kilograms. I took this as my lifelong goal. If I can try it before I die, I will be satisfied in this life."
The elder suddenly said: "Xiao Zhou, you are also a scientist, do you have any goals?"
Zhou Rui also put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky following the elder's gaze.
In his eyes, the moon was clearly visible and not far away.
Even the mottled spots on it seemed to be within reach.
Zhou Rui said: "Me? Maybe I want to try to fly in the future?"
The elder laughed: "Can drones fly in the sky?"
Zhou Rui also laughed: "My main job is to deal with manned aircraft!"
The elder continued to move forward and suddenly said: "I am old and can only take care of things on the ground. Let you young people take care of things in the sky."
Zhou Rui smiled: "Then is it a division of labor and cooperation?"
"No."
Zhou Rui paused, his expression somewhat helpless.
After the relationship became familiar, the elder often talked to him.
"It's considered inheritance."
