The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

The next morning, Shen Youyou and the others were still asleep. Just as a little light appeared in the sky, the men had already quietly got up.

For fear of waking up the elderly, women and children, they tiptoed to pick up their hoes, picked up their shoes, and walked out of the cave barefoot.

As soon as I arrived at the east gate, I was startled by the cold wind outside and woke up completely. I quickly put on my shoes because the ground was too cold.

Only the young boy Erhu was left to keep guard in the cave, while everyone else went towards the bamboo forest.

Erhu added some firewood to the fire, and sat cross-legged on the ground breathing in and out. In fact, this is a kind of internal energy practiced by ancient people, and it is a must-learn for light body kung fu. I don't know if it has any effect of prolonging life.

But after practicing for a long time, I do feel that I can achieve a state of unity between body and mind.

A notable feature of this state is that when the practitioner reaches a certain time and depth, he or she will feel the kidney water and heart fire begin to blend.

This sense of fusion usually appears after one hour of practice, manifested by the activation of the Heart Meridian, the descent of Heart Fire, and the rise of Kidney Water, ultimately reaching a state of harmony between water and fire.

This process requires patience and persistence, as you may encounter some challenges during the process, such as being upset and restless, but these are temporary.

Once it passes, one will enter a more harmonious state, the "qi transformation" state, when the practitioner's physical and mental state reaches a new balance.

Soon Shen Youyou also got up, quietly sat beside Erhu, and closed her eyes, following the Qi flow, deep when deep, and deep when deep...

In fact, it is just a breathing method. Inhale deeply to increase the amount of air, allowing it to stretch downwards. Stretching downwards will make it stable and solid. Then exhale, like the sprouts of plants, growing upwards, and retreat in the opposite direction of the path when taking it deep, until you retreat to the top.

In this way, the heavenly mechanism moves upward, and the earthly mechanism moves downward. If you follow this movement, you will live, and if you go against this movement, you will die.

Shen Zhiqiu had already brought his weapons and, braving the cold wind, he led the men to roll up their sleeves and start working in the bamboo forest.

As axes and machetes were raised and lowered, the bamboo forest was filled with the rustling sound of bamboo leaves blown by the wind, as well as the clang-clang-clang sound of chopping wood.

They chose to cut down two kinds of bamboo, one as thick as a bowl, and the other slightly thinner.

The four legs are made of bamboos as thick as a bowl, while the slightly thinner bamboos can be easily inserted into the holes of the four legs to fix the bed and make it a bed board.

Fortunately, bamboos with thick mouths are very common here, otherwise it would be difficult to choose. After all, when making a double bed, you should make it for your wives, and you should find a man who is willing to throw his wife on the bed.

However, you should choose more thick bamboo tubes to make bamboo rafts, bamboo racks, and chimneys. As for bamboo doors, you can use slightly thinner bamboo.

They all worked very hard, and this was basically no big deal for them.

The men had discussed this point yesterday. Shen Zhiqiu meant:

"The temperature has dropped too quickly in the past few days. I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm. The weather is too abnormal. We should hurry up and cut down the bamboo first.

At daybreak, they split into three groups. One group made bamboo beds, one group made adobe bricks. Since the bricks couldn't be dried in the sun, they were roasted over fire. The remaining group went to pick up stones.

There are many stones on this mountain, so it is not realistic to use adobe for the kang. We use stones for the frame of the kang and adobe for the kang surface.”

So the men got up before daybreak to cut bamboo.

The cut bamboo was placed on the ground and the boys began to remove the extra branches.

They cooperated very well, and this little work was not a big deal for them since they were used to doing farm work and had been fleeing famine for so long.

Others who were fleeing famine were thin and weak, but this group of people were thin, but that was because they had been traveling all day.

We weren't hungry, but the hardest time was when we had no water. Those days were really miserable.

But fleeing famine is really a training exercise. Everyone is stronger than before, including the young men, whose muscles are so obvious.

When I swing the axe to chop bamboo, there is also the sound of the wind, wow!

Even Shen Zhiqiu felt that his body had become stronger.

In about two hours, there were more than a hundred people including the young men, and the bamboo they cut was as big as a small mountain.

However, in order to maintain the ecological environment of the bamboo forest, Shen Zhiqiu asked everyone not to cut bamboos close to each other, but to cut where the bamboos are densely packed.

It took more than ten trips to finally move all the bamboos back.

When they returned to the cave, the women also got up.

Shen Youyou and Erhu also completed today's meditation, squatted in horse stance for half an hour, and practiced boxing for half an hour.

After Shen Yuanbao, Shen Luming and other younger ones got up, they followed Shen Youyou and Erhu and started to gesture.

After the boxing match, Shen Youyou waved her hand, and several people quickly ran to her. Shen Youyou smiled and said, "Are you not going to sleep in?"

Shen Yuanbao said: "Why are you sleeping? Didn't you see that my father and my third uncle went to cut bamboo? My third uncle said that men should exercise more!"

Shen Youyou burst out laughing, and seeing Shen Yuanbao was asking for help, she quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I'll be serious, but I'm curious, are you men?"

Shen Yuanbao rolled his eyes: "Aren't we men or women? Look at the question you asked, it doesn't seem like our smart sister at all."

After saying that, he turned around and asked Shen Luming: "Luming, am I right?"

Shen Luming did not nod, because he knew that this was his sister, but the child said with a serious face: "Sister, we are men."

Shen Youyou tried to suppress her laughter, but she absolutely could not hurt her brothers' self-esteem: "Okay! Little men, from now on you should practice martial arts with your sister at the same time! You will be able to protect your family when you grow up!"

A dozen kids were silent, and Shen Nannan quickly shook her head: "Sister Yoyo, I'm not a man, I don't need to get up!"

Shen Youyou controlled her expression: "Yes! Nannan is a girl, she doesn't have to get up, but she still needs to exercise more and not let others bully her."

The result was recognized, Shen Nannan, took the other two girls and ran away, leaving the hesitant little men! Look at the Shenjia Village generation! The yang is strong and the yin is weak!

Should I talk to my dad about this? It’s better to have a balanced development!

Shen Luming is a clever guy: "Sister, our father said that children who don't sleep well won't grow tall." After saying that, he ran away.

Shen Yuanbao gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Luming, you are disloyal. I will not be friends with you anymore."

Shen Youyou was so amused! These two had fought at first, but now they were just two equals. Why don't you join in the fun? In less than half an hour, they got together again.

Perhaps it was because of the conflict with the refugees that Yuanbao saved Luming, which made Luming feel in his heart that even though his brother had beaten him and snatched his candy, he was still very trustworthy.

The men came back and started eating. While eating, Shen Zhiqiu was arranging tasks: "My daughter will take your sisters to find everything edible, and the men will start working as we agreed before.

The women continued to dig bamboo shoots, and the elders collected soil to make salt. I am afraid that if it snows, we won’t be able to find soil with white frost. We also need to make some pickled bamboo shoots. You can learn this from Jingshu. "

It was clearly arranged in one go. The main thing is that the people of Shenjia Village are no longer the same as before. They can all do their own things!
