Chapter 46 Ejection from treetops
Wang An drove the two old people around the neighborhood along the newly built highway in recent years, and then took them to the city to look around.
The winter scenery was very bleak, but the two old men watched it with gusto.
The two of them spent almost all day in that small mountain village, sometimes not coming out once a year or even several years.
I’m old, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and even if I have the intention, I don’t have the conditions anymore.
At noon, they had dinner in the county town. Wang An took them to a very high-end restaurant in the county town.
Wang An ordered five dishes and one soup.
“There are three of us, what do you want with so much food?” the old man said softly. “Isn’t it cheap to eat here?”
“I ate a lot at lunch. This is my grandpa’s favorite fish. This is your favorite rock sugar white fungus. Didn’t I tell you? I’m rich and I don’t need money.” Wang An said with a smile.
“Hey, you kid.”
“Well, don’t tell me, the food in this restaurant is delicious.”
After dinner, Wang An saw that the two old men were a little tired, so he drove them back to the mountain village.
Although the two old men were a little tired during this journey, they were very happy. Always had a smile on his face.
When he arrived in a mountain village and met several elderly acquaintances, Wang An’s grandfather would take the initiative to say hello.
“Take the child out for a walk.”
The old man also saves face. When their children become successful, they also feel bright in their faces.
Back home, Wang An gave the two old men a massage to relax their bodies, relax their muscles, and activate their blood circulation.
After chatting with them for a while, he returned to his room.
Wang An was thinking about how to improve his strength and complete the task of "a punch weighing a thousand catties".
There is no shortcut to increasing strength, it can only be enhanced through continuous strength exercises.
Strength exercises without weights such as push-ups and squats are definitely out of the question.
It requires heavy weight-bearing exercises, but the mountain village is not a gym. There are no dumbbells, no iron blocks, and not enough equipment.
But there are logs, stones, and millstones here, so you can use local materials.
The location for exercise should also be chosen in the mountains. The mountains are vast and there are enough places to choose from.
“Let’s go out and have a look in the afternoon and get ready to start.”
After taking a break at noon, he walked towards the mountain with some tools such as a rope, an axe, and a short saw.
He remembered seeing an abandoned millstone on the side of the road the last time he went up the mountain.
"found it."
Wang An saw the millstone in the weeds on the roadside.
The millstone is more than 80 centimeters in diameter and 30 centimeters thick. It weighs more than 400 kilograms and is half-buried in the soil.
This can be used as a replacement for dumbbells to build strength.
He leaned down and grabbed the edge of the millstone with both hands. Using his strength, his muscles tensed up, and with a sound, he pulled the millstone out of the soil.
Clean off the soil on it, hold the millstone with both hands, and use energy.
rise,
He picked up the millstone weighing more than 400 kilograms. After a while, he put the millstone down again.
“Huh, it’s really heavy.” Wang And said.
“When I find a place to exercise, I will move this millstone there.”
After going up the mountain, he walked around.
“The place where you exercise should be relatively private, preferably a place where people in the village don’t go there on weekdays, so no one will disturb you.”
Walking around in the mountains, he found a suitable place in the mountains, a relatively flat place halfway up a mountain peak.
“It looks good here, just clean it up!”
Hum, a familiar voice came.
Wang An looked around and saw a wild boar poking its head in the forest.
“Yo, Peggy!”
Hmph, the wild boar suddenly stopped and sniffed hard.
For a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and ran away.
"You're running pretty fast. We haven't seen each other for a few days. Are you a little shy? I'll talk to you another time." Wang An said with a smile.
He looked at a dead tree more than thirty centimeters in diameter.
He raised his hand and clapped his hands, motionless.
Although the old tree is withered, it still stands.
“This can be used for palm training.”
“If we clean up this area, we can get some plum blossom piles.”
Wang An cleared the weeds on the ground. Then he went down the mountain again and used hemp rope to drag the millstone weighing more than 400 kilograms up the mountain.
“I need to prepare some more things.”
He saw several dry trees with an axe, and cut them into sections with a saw. Then it was inserted into the ground to make a plum blossom stake more than one meter high.
With a slight jump, he was more than one meter above the ground and arrived at the plum blossom pile.
The footwork practiced on the plum blossom pile is the integration of waist and horse, and it is tossing and moving. If you can advance and retreat freely when practicing on it, you will definitely be more flexible on the ground.
In fact, practicing brick walking has a similar effect.
Wang An walked on it several times. It was a little awkward at first, but he soon became able to walk freely.
“Should I also do weight-bearing exercises?”
He thought of Li Xinzhu who was practicing Bengquan in the martial arts studio with an iron chain on his back.
Such a practice method can actually increase your own strength and speed.
Coo, there is an unknown bird sitting on the tree, and it keeps chirping there.
Wang An looked up after hearing the sound. There was a pheasant parked on a tree not far away.
“Pheasant?” Wang An suddenly became interested.
He quietly came to the foot of the tree, sank his body, kicked off his legs, and suddenly jumped up. Using his hands and feet together, he climbed to the treetop nearly five meters high in less than three seconds.
Put your feet on the tree trunk, push hard, fly into the air, and catch the pheasant there.
The pheasant flapped its wings and flew up, passing seven or eight meters, and flew to a tree on the opposite side.
Wang An lost his place of strength in mid-air, but with the help of inertia, he reached another tree before his eyes.
He raised his hand and grabbed a treetop, using his arms to pull himself over.
As soon as he retracted his body, he landed on the tree. He stabilized himself a little and stepped on the trunk of the tree. With a whoosh, he jumped out again and headed straight for the pheasant.
The pheasant flew away again. Wang An grabbed another treetop, landed on another tree, and then popped out again.
He relied on his own strength and agility to pass through the trees and bounce in mid-air, just like an ape.
He also watched the pheasant fly away, so he simply stopped chasing it and just bounced back and forth from tree to tree in the forest.
He suddenly discovered that this was also a rare exercise.
It can exercise your eyesight, arm strength, leg strength, and coordination of the whole body, and you can also practice Wu Qin Xi.
He bounced back and forth between the trees, having a great time.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that he stopped and landed from the tree.
“Huh, yes, yes, great harvest!”
“You are jumping like an ape in the forest. You seem to have discovered a new method of cultivation. If you stick to it, it will be effective.”
