Chapter 7 is reserved by me
The young man wants to escape
At that moment, a strange sound came from the bamboo forest behind them
Chang Ming instinctively ran towards the village, but after a moment, he felt something was amiss. What if he led these criminals into the village
As soon as they left, Changming stopped moaning and got up
I originally had no knowledge of the existence of this thing, nor did I intend to compete with you for it. Yet you audaciously speculate and seek to take my life
Certainly, time is still short, and the number of bamboo poles he currently carries is still fewer than that of an ordinary villager, but this is already a significant improvement
He undoubtedly became the foremost silk weaver in the village, and even the taciturn old Ping had to admit that Changming's abilities far surpassed his own
Chang Ming thought to himself: Hmph, fool, a steel nail can hit anywhere, yet you insist on hitting the back. The target is indeed large enough, but once it is seen through, one can find a way to dodge it
Chang Ming thought for a moment, greeted the village chief and others, and decided to go up the mountain alone to cut bamboo
Chang Ming increasingly realized that not only is good physical fitness necessary, but it is also essential to find ways to learn some combat skills
Chang Ming suddenly sat up, just about to retort, when a sharp pain rising from deep within his marrow caused him to bend over deeply again
Thus, there was an ever-moving figure in the village, engaging in weight training, jumping, and running. Changming was not a professional, but he had previously studied basic physical training methods from various materials. Now, regardless of their effectiveness, he decided to give them a try.
Regardless of whether the mechanics of this world have any special training methods, physical training is certainly essential. Not to mention, it is said that many materials need to be collected by the mechanics themselves, which involves going up mountains and down to the sea, and they may even have to fight wild beasts in addition to consulting books.
With a gentle "thud," the bamboo in front swayed. Chang Ming suddenly looked up and was astonished to find an iron nail driven deep into the bamboo pole before him.
On that day, after Chang Ming finished his workout, he cut another bamboo pole. His hand skillfully reached out to the side—only to find nothing. The golden bamboo poles nearby had all been used up!
Golden Bamboo Python
Neither Lao Ping nor the village chief were aware of such matters, but Chang Ming kept it in his heart
Exercise, slicing bamboo strips, hand gymnastics... These activities are prevalent in Changming's life. Strangely enough, although they are physical exercises, they seem to have improved his ability to slice bamboo strips as well. His sense of rhythm has further strengthened, and the speed of slicing, which had long been stuck at the fifteen-minute bottleneck, has now begun to break through, gradually approaching ten minutes.
"Duo duo duo" sounded three times, and again three iron nails were driven into the spot where he had just been lying, right at the position of his back
Chang Ming tilted his head, intently staring at the three iron nails—sunlight filtered through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting shifting shadows on the nails. They were probably only two and a half inches long, thinner than ordinary nails. Such small objects, yet they were imbued with countless lethal threats
He glanced around with his eyes, suddenly sprang up like a carp leaping out of the water, and ran wildly towards the bamboo forest!
Another person shouted, "Don't rush, hurry up and catch up!"
However, due to this delay, those few individuals have caught up.
Lao Ping pointed to the sky and said, "I don't know about other things, but that kind of boat is entirely handmade. Can you lift the planks of the boat? Do you have the strength to make it?"
The boat ... . ... He is referring to the ferry that passes by hetushu.com in the morning and evening
As he turned around, a chill ran down his spine, and without a moment's hesitation, he crouched down
He came to a halt, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized that the bamboo grove was devoid of the sounds of birds and insects; apart from the rustling of the bamboo leaves in the wind, there were no other extraneous sounds!
Behind them, a person is holding a cannon barrel, from which fierce flames are erupting, crossing the distance between the two and shooting towards him
The voice was hoarse yet resonant, as if carrying a wave of different frequencies that pierced directly into their minds, causing a buzzing sound to resonate within their heads
In total, there were three people, each contributing their words, clearly explaining their backgrounds and intentions
He did not hesitate to take two steps back, turning around to prepare to run back.
Just as Chang Ming's thoughts turned to this, a sinister voice appeared behind him: "Tsk tsk, you actually managed to evade my bone-penetrating nails twice. You truly have some skill!"
Chang Ming suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and rolled over to the right.
Haha, very good, then I have secured this crystal core!
The second shopkeeper is indeed meticulous; this fellow merely took a tool from a senior mechanic, and there is no one behind him at all. Hmph, even if there were someone, so what? If they wish to snatch food from the Qi family, they must pay the price
He turned around and was suddenly alarmed
Once again, there were two sharp sounds. Although he had clearly aimed at Chang Ming's back, the shot ended up lodged in the bamboo pole.
He indeed sustained an injury, and even now, there is a burning pain in his back. This pain is far beyond what could be compared to that initial slap.
Another voice followed, saying: "I told you, this kid's arrival is suspicious; he must have ulterior motives. Look at him, sneaking over here all by himself to steal from mhetushucom.com; he is definitely after 'that thing'!"
Chang Ming inwardly lamented, falling into their hands, he estimated that he would have no good outcome
The village chief was very pleased; with this, there is no need to worry about the quantity requested by the Lian family for the time being
Chang Ming was already very familiar with this path. As he just entered the bamboo forest, he suddenly sensed that something was amiss
That person exclaimed, "What is going on! I clearly aimed at it!"
His speed is too fast; the golden bamboo poles he cuts down every morning are already insufficient for his use. Just a few days ago, there was only a slight shortage, and now, it is only early afternoon, yet he has already completed the work that was originally meant for an entire day
The flames burned the fabric of his back, and Chang Ming felt as if he were completely enveloped in fire. He rolled over and fell to the ground, tumbling. Fortunately, the flames that erupted were merely ordinary fire; after rolling a few times, he managed to extinguish the flames.
Of course, the Golden Bamboo Python is the most important! The crystal core of a secondary exotic beast is the best energy core for mechanisms, and it represents a significant contribution to the family. Hurry up, the Golden Bamboo Python is elusive; be careful, or it might hide and you won't be able to find it again
One of them paused and said, "The golden bamboo python has come out!"
Chang Ming had always lived in a peaceful era and had never encountered such a crisis before. Now, faced with such a situation, he was drenched in cold sweat and did not know what to do.
Before he could finish his thoughts, he suddenly felt a wave of heat behind him
No, it is a cannon!
What is this? A cannon?
Chang Ming remained silent for a long time, and after a while, he furrowed his brow: "Such a thing, even an ordinary person with good physical strength cannot achieve, right? Is there any special training method?"
However, it is also thanks to these few villains and the traditional books
This pain has also stirred an immense anger within Changming
In addition, his grandfather had taught him a set of hand exercises. For the past ten years, he has consistently practiced them, which effectively enhances the flexibility, resilience, and endurance of his hands. Otherwise, he would not have been able to endure the three days and nights of work.
He is not the kind of reckless person; when faced with an inappropriate situation, his first thought is not to investigate further, but rather to leave quickly
When he was cutting bamboo before, he realized that his physical strength was far inferior to that of the villagers in Jinzhu Village. Old Ping was right; in this world, a craftsman relies solely on manual labor. For some large mechanisms, such as that mechanical ferry, how could one person accomplish it without physical strength?
Who is it? Who is lurking there, wanting my life?
Chang Ming secretly thought to himself: Indeed, this is a common flaw among bad people; when encountering an enemy, instead of swiftly striking them down, they first engage in endless chatter, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.
Another person said: "What should we do?"
There are three people on the other side, while he is alone. The opponents are armed with a cannon, and he has no weapons at all. However, even in this situation, he does not give up hope. He pretends to fall to the ground and groan, yet his gaze occasionally sweeps over the surroundings and those three individuals, seeking a glimmer of hope in the midst of adversity
Half a month has passed, and he has been continuously exercising his physical strength, also attempting to carry bamboo on his own, showing significant improvement. He is no longer as clumsy as when he first arrived; as long as the villagers provide a little assistance, he can smoothly carry a small bundle of bamboo out of the forest and down the mountain.
Chang Ming shivered, feeling somewhat eerie
Damn it, others travel through time and act with power and authority, so why does it have to end up with me being killed
Since that day, Changming began his training at hetushu.com
If I hadn't crouched down just now, what would have happened? Undoubtedly, this thing would have pierced his spine, leading to his demise
I have inexplicably crossed over to this place, having never left Jinzhu Village. Who have I offended? To resort to violence and kill, is there still any law in this world?
As he spoke, he whistled, and the three individuals swiftly encircled Changming!
Currently, Changming produces half of the total number of silk pieces made by the other silk craftsmen every day, and this number is still on the rise
Lao Ping rarely spoke such a long sentence, each word questioning Chang Ming. Yet, Chang Ming could only remain silent, not uttering a word
After encountering danger twice in succession, a surge of anger gradually rose within Changming.
They probably thought that Chang Ming was already injured and could no longer pose any threat to them. Moreover, given that the golden bamboo python moved with great speed, they had waited a long time for its appearance. Therefore, at this moment, they turned around without hesitation and left Chang Ming lying on the ground.
He often read about such situations in books before, but now that he has experienced it himself, he deeply feels how terrifying this sensation is. You cannot see it, nor can you hear it, yet every hair on your body tells you that something is lurking deep within the bamboo forest, waiting to pounce on your throat at any moment
Lao Ping said calmly: "Your health is too poor"
He had already reached the edge of the golden bamboo forest, where an iron nail was driven into a golden bamboo pole. Chang Ming came into contact with this material every day, so he was undoubtedly aware of how incredibly hard it was. Yet, the iron nail was driven in so effortlessly, as if it were merely a piece of loose wood
I have indeed offended someone
Indeed, we have been guarding this golden bamboo python for a long time, and a mere child thinks he can intervene so easily, how naive!
