Chapter 52 Training on the Mountainside
Since it was said that I would practice my skills after eating, I must eat my fill first.
Wenwen then took another bite of food, grabbing chicken legs and pastries and placing them among the five people. This meal was incredibly diverse.
There were fruits produced in the space, chicken legs from modern stockpiles, pastries from the family kitchen before the raid, and steamed buns and mantou from the Luo family kitchen.
There are familiar flavors, fresh flavors, and unfamiliar yet exciting flavors. In short, it's a meal that leaves everyone completely satisfied, until they start burping.
Wen Chengjian, as the group leader, spoke first, "Now that we've eaten, let's set off."
Wenwen casually collected a bunch of wild game.
Wen Chengfeng was so shocked to see such a scene up close for the first time that his mouth dropped open.
Wen Chengbin, who was standing next to him, helped him lift his chin and said, "Fourth brother, you're used to it, no need to be so surprised."
Wenwen chuckled to herself. Her second brother had been like that at first too. He really had a little follower, someone he would specifically bully.
Wen Chengjian led the way. The mountains here were covered with more trees and weeds, so dense that there was no path at all, which showed that not many people came.
Soon, they arrived at an open hillside. This area was only covered with tall trees and not much weeds. There was a large rock in the northwest corner.
Wenwen suggested, "Big brother, is this place alright? It's big enough. You and second brother can practice first, and we'll watch from the sidelines."
"Alright, you guys familiarize yourselves with the first chapter first, and then I'll teach you more later. If you need anything, just shout, we're nearby."
"Okay, big brother, here you go."
Wenwen didn't say anything more, and took out the original book and gave it to Wenchengjian.
She, Wen Qikang, and Wen Chengfeng found a big tree, a tree that would take three people to hug, and they sat down with their backs against it.
They focused intently on the cards and began to study.
Although she has made progress in recognizing characters, Wenwen still works hard to continue learning, knowing that if you don't keep learning, you will fall behind.
She had already copied and memorized the text of this technique for shedding one's shell. However, while her theoretical knowledge was solid, she had only just begun to explore the practical application. Nevertheless, she was confident that as long as her elder brother guided her through the basics, she would be able to master it.
Time passed little by little.
The sounds of wind and birdsong could be heard from time to time in the woods.
The setting sun's rays filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground.
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin walked back to the tree through these scattered stars.
Wenwen asked curiously, "How's your training going?"
Wen Chengbin, true to his big mouth, said, "That's great. Big Brother has already finished the third chapter, while I've only just started the third one."
Wenwen's eyes lit up with excitement. "Really? Big brother is amazing!"
Wen Chengjian said modestly, "Given time, my sister can do it too. Let's go, I'll teach you the first step."
Under the guidance of Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin, the three of them practiced diligently, and gradually, their skills became more distinct.
After all, Wenwen had already memorized the text, and with Wenchengjian's guidance, her progress was rapid, bringing her many pleasant surprises. Soon, she had mastered the first five steps of the first piece, and Wenwen even secretly asked Xianbao, "Xianbao, how are my steps going?"
Xianbao was very supportive, saying, "Not bad, you ran quite well. Keep it up, and getting the first ten steps will be a big improvement. Keep it up, Master."
Wenwen pressed her advantage, putting all her strength into it, and finally secured the first ten steps before running out of energy.
Wen Chengjian could also see that Wenwen was a little exhausted. "Little sister, you can't get fat in one bite. You should rest for a while. I'll go check on Uncle and the others."
Wenwen, panting heavily, plopped down on the ground. "Big brother, you go ahead. I'll be around here."
"Okay, shout if anything happens." After giving the instructions, Wen Chengjian turned around and went to find Wen Chengbin and the others.
Wenwen was so tired that she slumped down on the ground and lay there, staring blankly at the soft grass.
My eyes peered through the gaps in the leaves at the sky, where the blue sky and white clouds seemed to drift slowly by. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the scent of fresh grass to my nose.
Suddenly, a minty scent wafted from afar, instantly energizing Wenwen. She now wanted to make some pills.
Think of something and then act on it.
Wenwen stood up, turned around, looked left and right, and found a good place to shelter from the wind.
There's a huge, flat, and clean rock there; you can put the herbs on it for treatment.
She built a simple stove pit, took out earthenware jars and medicinal herbs, and examined them one by one.
Last night in the space, Wenwen made a lot of pills for headaches, fever, colds, coughs and diarrhea. It can be said that these prescriptions and medicine-making methods are already engraved in her mind. However, she still wanted to consolidate these few medicines. It's always better to have more of these commonly used pills than not.
After sorting things out, Wenwen focused her attention on controlling the heat.
Soon, the aroma of herbs wafted across the mountainside.
Having finally grasped the essence, Wenwen quickly got into the zone, soaring freely in the world of brewing medicine.
The drug manufacturing process was much faster than last night, and the quantity and quality of the pills also improved.
As Wenwen watched the perfect pills being made by her own hands, a sense of pride filled her heart. She couldn't wait to share with Xianbao, "Wow, I'm a rising star! I've mastered these kinds of pills; I can try others now."
Xianbao was extremely flattering: "Master is great, you can do everything else too."
Wenwen listened to this flattering compliment and became eager to try it herself.
He wondered, which one should he try first? Last night, both Father and Second Uncle took their medicine. Today, Father managed to walk a short distance, his complexion was alright. Second Uncle, however, looked much worse; his body was still trembling, and he still couldn't see clearly. His condition was more complicated.
Let's try the antidote pills first, and put other pills aside for now.
Once she made up her mind, she took out the medicinal herbs, processed them one by one, and put them into an earthenware jar.
Carefully watching the heat, the aroma of herbs slowly filled the grove.
With the previous successful experience, the first batch of detoxification pills was perfectly prepared.
Wenwen looked at the three pills in her hand, feeling that something was missing. Her brain cells worked at lightning speed, trying hard to recall the cards she had seen, but even after her brain cells were completely drained, she couldn't think of anything that could be added or changed.
She looked into the distance and suddenly noticed the scattered dots on the ground. "Ah, I remember now, Star Lotus Grass, that's it, the Star Lotus Grass that enhances the effects."
Wenwen suddenly had a new idea.
She reprocessed the ingredients for the antidote pills, and then carefully and solemnly processed the star lotus grass, placing it into the earthenware pot along with the other herbs.
A devout prayer can lead to a qualitative leap in the effectiveness of pills.
Gradually, the aroma of medicine wafted from the earthenware pot. Those with a sensitive nose could smell that the scent was slightly different this time, with a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Wenwen watched as the medicinal herbs tumbled in the earthenware pot. She stirred it slowly, and the herbs rose and fell with the vortex she created. Soon, the various herbs blended together, and the clear broth gradually thickened.
With practiced skill, she stirred slowly, and the familiar incense stick-shaped substance was about to take shape. Suddenly, Wenwen heard a soft "crack" sound. She leaned closer to the earthenware pot, but before she could take a closer look, she realized what it was.
"Bang! Bang!"
The earthenware pot shattered into pieces instantly, the fragments scattering like a shower of flowers. Wenwen didn't even have time to run far away; she could only throw a pile of wild game to bury herself in it.
The loud explosion, like a thunderclap, resounded all around, so loud that the wild animals on the mountainside all became restless.
Several people practicing martial arts nearby suddenly heard the explosion coming from this side. Without hesitation, they used all their skills to run towards this side.
