Chapter 163: The Widowed Mother in Famine 5
Li Cuiyun, Lin Ya and Lin Le were all confused. This was too mysterious and they couldn't believe it.
"Why don't you believe it? This is true!"
Lin Xuan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he even wanted to cut open his brain for everyone to see.
"That's how my mother was at that time..."
Lin Xuan picked up the book and slapped Lin Ya on the head.
Nan Xi moved her fingers and touched her daughter's head, and another surge of mental power rushed over.
Lin Ya also opened her eyes wide, and she also discovered that there were a lot more things in her mind.
“Really… this is true…”
Li Cuiyun and Lin Le also showed expectant eyes, they also wanted it.
Nan Xi came one by one and touched each one. The four children were all very surprised, as they all obtained peerless martial arts.
Lin Xuan even patted Nan Xi on the head, "Mom, have you learned it?"
Nan Xi nodded, "Yes, I got it."
Li Cuiyun touched her head and said, "It's amazing. If I learn this, I can be as light as a swallow and walk as fast as flying?"
Lin Ya was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Sister-in-law, of course I can. I want to learn Qinggong and become a female knight."
Lin Le also cheered and waved his fist, "Haha hehe..."
Nan Xi patted Lin Le's big head and made a plan on the spot, "We can't tell anyone about this in our family, otherwise it will cause trouble.
From today on, we will start practicing. Except for Cuiyun who can only practice internal skills now, everyone else has to go to the mountains to practice every day."
"Yes, mother."
The children answered in unison, and the whole family was laughing, no longer as dull as before.
Nan Xi was still quite relieved. Her mental power had just left a trace of restriction in the sea of consciousness of several people. Even if they wanted to speak, they couldn't.
"Clap clap..."
Someone is knocking on the door.
Lin Xuan went to open the door and it was Zhao Kangping who came in. He was holding a bag in his hand and spoke as he walked in.
"Xuan Zi, have you eaten yet? Take this corn and eat it first. Come with me to the mountain tomorrow."
Lin Xuan didn't know whether he should answer it, so he turned around and looked at Nan Xi.
"Sister-in-law, just accept it. If Brother Lin hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't be standing here now."
Nan Xi nodded and asked Lin Xuan to accept it.
"Then I won't be polite, Xuanzi, give your Uncle Zhao a rabbit."
Lin Xuan agreed and ran into the room.
The rabbits were not dead, they were just tied up and prepared to be dealt with tomorrow.
Zhao Kangping looked at the fat rabbit and was a little surprised.
"Sister-in-law, are you going up the mountain?"
He declined repeatedly, saying that the Lin family was an orphan and a widow, and their financial situation was worse than his own, so how could he accept the child?
"I can't have it, you keep it for yourselves."
"Uncle Zhao, I have several of them at home. You can take them back to nourish Aunt and Little Stone. If you don't accept them, we won't want the corn anymore."
Zhao Kangping accepted it only after thinking of his frail wife and children.
Now all the prey in the mountains have hidden in the deep mountains, and it is difficult to hunt outside. The Zhao family has not seen meat for a long time.
Lin Ya brought a stool to Zhao Kangping, and Zhao Kangping sat down to talk.
"Sister-in-law, what are your plans?"
"We are going to the mountains."
Zhao Kangping exclaimed, "What? Going into the mountains? No, no, there are wild animals there. It's too dangerous."
Nan Xi saw that Zhao Kangping seemed to have an idea and asked.
"Besides the mountains, where else do you want to go?"
Zhao Kangping smiled bitterly, "We plan to dig a hole at home, and move down there if there is danger in the future. I can go find water and food during the day, which is safer this way."
Nan Xi shook her head. "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you couldn't find food and water? And what would you do if bandits set fire to your house?"
Zhao Kangping's eyes narrowed. These should indeed be taken into consideration.
"What can we do? Can't these damn bandits let us live in peace?"
Zhao Kangping was furious, he had no other choice.
Nan Xi had already made plans to build a few houses on the mountain for the family to live in to avoid disaster, and to practice martial arts to increase the fighting power of the whole family, and then move out when the world is at peace.
Zhao Kangping was also very excited after hearing this, "Can I go with you tomorrow?"
At this moment, Zhao Kangping felt that Mrs. Lin had more ideas than himself, and he unconsciously wanted to ask for her opinion.
"Of course you can. This mountain is so big and it's not ours. Are you not afraid of danger?"
Zhao Kangping nodded and made a decision in his heart.
"The mountains are dangerous, but they are more secluded than the village. At least there is a glimmer of hope."
The two families agreed to meet in the mountains in the morning, and only then did Zhao Kangping leave the Lin family.
The Lin family began their first day of practice. Nan Xi gave them a cup of diluted spiritual spring water to remove impurities from their bodies, which would allow them to practice much faster.
The four of them gathered together, sat cross-legged according to the images in their minds, closed their eyes slightly, and began to practice.
Their breathing gradually became deep and steady, as if they were blending into the nature around them.
Soon, the Lin family became quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional bird song in the distance.
Nan Xi returned to her room and entered the Lingquan space. She decided to practice here and use the power of the Lingquan to improve her cultivation.
This body has no spiritual roots, but the spiritual spring can nourish the flesh, strengthen the body, and follow the path of physical cultivation.
She found a quiet corner, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to temper her body.
As time went by, Nan Xi's consciousness became more and more integrated with her body, and she could feel the strength of this body steadily increasing.
After one night, not only did his physical body reach the tendon refining stage of physical cultivation, but Nan Xi's soul also underwent baptism and became purer.
The forest in the morning seemed to be gently shrouded by a layer of veil-like mist. The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and in the distance, birds chirped one after another. The air was filled with the fresh smell of earth and the faint fragrance of flowers.
There was gradually some movement in the Lin family. After dinner, Li Cuiyun took Lin Ya and Lin Le home to process the game and wild vegetables they brought back yesterday. Nan Xi still brought Lin Xuan and met up with Zhao Kangping. The three of them came to the spring where they had been yesterday.
"Great! This spring has plenty of water. It shouldn't stop flowing anytime soon. We can just settle down nearby and survive by hunting."
Zhao Kangping was overjoyed. With water, there would also be food.
Lin Xuan reminded: "Uncle Zhao, we encountered a bear here yesterday."
Zhao Kangping was startled. He looked around and thought that a bear could be very dangerous.
Nan Xi talked about her plan: "We will camp nearby. There is a wooden house not far away. It was left by hunters in the past. It is very suitable for us to live in."
Zhao Kangping also felt that the place was suitable. It was not deep in the mountains and forests, but also not close to the outskirts. It was very convenient whether going outside or into the mountains and forests.
After the three of them had decided on a location, they began to build a few more wooden houses. They divided the work among themselves, cutting wood and bamboo, cutting thatch for the roof, weaving ropes with rattan, picking up stones and clay...
The three did not go back at noon. They just ate a bite of the dry food they brought with them and continued to work.
