Chapter 21 Changes (Please read~)
Along with an inaudible sound, a black shadow rolled down the courtyard wall.
Chen Erya, who had been observing the situation in the yard through the window of his room, was startled by the black shadow.
"Who is it!?"
The little girl's heart was in her throat.
It was late at night and my brother was not here. She is a little girl. If a thief comes, what will she do?
For a moment, many thoughts flashed through the little girl's mind.
Just when she was about to hide and see if she could pull it off to buy time, she saw the face of the dark shadow clearly under the bright moonlight.
"elder brother!"
The little girl cried out in surprise.
"It's so late, the little girl should be asleep."
In the yard, Chen Ping'an thought so. Children's bodies are growing and they are more sleepy than adults, and he doesn't intend to wake the little girl. Who would have thought that just after taking a few steps, I heard my brother's call.
The voice was surprising, it was Chen Er Yanannan's voice.
A little man rushed out of the room and threw himself into his arms.
"Nanny, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet!?"
"Waiting for my brother to come back."
The little girl buried her head in Chen Ping'an's chest, and her voice was a bit muffled.
"What's going on?"
Chen Pingan noticed something was wrong with the little girl's mood.
"I was scared to death just now. My brother climbed over the wall and came in. I thought there was a thief coming."
Chen Erya came out of Chen Ping'an's arms and stared at him with a pair of clear eyes.
Looking at Chen Erya, who I felt pity for, Chen Ping'an's heart almost melted.
"Nanny, I didn't think carefully."
Chen Pingan apologized.
It was hard for him to imagine what the little girl was going through when she just thought a thief was coming.
"It's okay, I don't blame my brother."
The little girl hugged Chen Pingan, unwilling to let go.
Ever since the death of Old Chen Tou, they were the only two brothers and sisters who depended on each other.
Putting his hand on Chen Erya's head, Chen Pingan was silent for a long time.
"Nanny, don't worry, brother will do his best and give you the best!"
"Brother, did things go smoothly?"
"It went well. It's okay. You can sleep peacefully, my brother is here."
"Yeah, okay."
When Chen Ping'an came back, Chen Erya felt completely relaxed. Chen Pingan chatted with her for a while, and the little girl fell asleep. It was obvious that she was indeed very sleepy.
Chen Erya fell into a deep sleep, but what Chen Pingan had to do was not over yet.
After the iron cloth shirt was completed, his condition returned to perfection. There was another practice session with Iron Cloth Shirt that he hadn't done yet.
Walking into the small courtyard, Chen Ping'an took off his upper body clothes and began to exercise and hone his body.
After the iron cloth shirt is completed, he does not need to use underwear to restrain himself. Every rub of his palms rubs directly on the skin.
However, now his skin is as tough as thin cowhide, and when he rubs it with his hands, the effect is much weaker than before.
However, half an hour later, the familiar +1 experience value appeared again.
Name: Chen Ping'an
Realm: Complete Qi and Blood
Martial arts: Iron cloth shirt small success (1/40)
After practicing once, Chen Pingan found that he seemed to have not reached his limit. The skin that had turned red after rubbing in the past didn't seem to have changed much at the moment. "Don't tell me"
Chen Ping'an's face showed a hint of excitement.
"Come again!"
After that, he continued to rub it with his hands and began to practice using the iron cloth shirt.
After another half hour, the +1 experience value appeared again, and the experience value on the panel also changed from 1 to 2.
After practicing twice in a row, Chen Pingan felt that his whole body was burning and his skin was hot.
"It seems that after I have mastered the iron cloth shirt, I have been able to practice the iron cloth shirt twice in a row. In this way, I can increase 4 experience points a day in the morning and evening. This speed is equivalent to doubling! "
The surprise on Chen Pingan's face was inexplicable.
"If you want to complete the iron cloth shirt, you need 40 experience points. In this way, it originally took twenty days to complete the iron cloth shirt, but now it only takes ten days."
"Ten days."
"Also, according to the records of the technique, after the iron cloth shirt is completed, the practice can proceed to the next stage. Rolling in the sand and gravel, tempering the body, polishing the skin, and penetrating the qi and blood."
"Well, let's get some gravel tomorrow and see if we can gain more experience in the new stage of practice."
"."
The efficiency of gaining experience points was doubled, which made Chen Ping'an very excited. This means that the door to a higher level of martial arts is slowly opening to him.
After simply wiping his body, Chen Pingan fell into a deep sleep in excitement.
With the improvement of physical fitness and the replenishment of Qi and blood, when he is somewhat sleepy, he can fall asleep completely in just ten breaths.
At the most critical time, during sleep, you still maintain a certain level of vigilance.
Early the next morning, Chen Ping'an began to practice wearing iron cloth shirts as usual. On weekdays, he would finish practicing the iron cloth shirt once and then rush to the Zhenfu Division for work, so the time was quite tight.
However, today is a holiday, so it doesn't matter.
After practicing the iron cloth shirt twice in a row, and the experience value on the panel changed from 2 to 4, Chen Pingan went out.
The new stage of Tiebushan practice requires sand and gravel. So he went out to get some gravel back.
There are many places like this sand and gravel outside the city, everywhere. Just sift it a few times and it's ready to use.
However, it would be time-consuming and laborious to obtain sand and gravel directly from outside the city. He didn't know when Mr. Xiao Hu would come, so Chen Pingan chose to spend money to buy it directly.
Coincidentally, Uncle Zhang, who lives west of Lihua Lane, happens to be a sand mover. His family should have a lot of sand and gravel like this.
Boom, boom, boom!
Chen Pingan knocked on Uncle Zhang’s door.
After a while, the door opened and a little doll poked out.
"Who are you looking for?"
The doll is not very old, probably around four or five years old, and its round head looks a bit pleasant.
"Is Aunt Zhang home?"
Chen Pingan asked with a smile.
"Grandma, she's here."
The little baby said in a milky voice. As he spoke, he stepped aside.
"Who is it!?"
A voice came from inside the house.
I saw a rather sturdy old woman walking out of the back room, and she happened to have a clear look at Chen Pingan, who was just about to walk in.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be the little brother of the Chen family."
Among the many families in Lihua Lane, Uncle Zhang's family is living a good life.
The son and daughter-in-law are more up-to-date. Working in the kitchen of a restaurant in the city is a serious and stable job.
He himself works as a sand mover and can earn some hard money. Aunt Zhang's family does some needlework at home to supplement the family income.
The family worked together and lived a prosperous life.
