Without saying a word, he started to imitate the gourd and the vines.
Lan Chen's behavior naturally attracted the attention of the animals. Since they were idle anyway, they commented on it, which was very enjoyable.
The happiest person is Lan Chen. Through their comments, he can further discover the mistakes and make improvements.
Gradually, he also figured out the secret of this ‘lost trace step’.
If we talk about walking on weekdays, it is just to save energy, walk comfortably, and reach the destination in the fastest way.
Kemizubu is different. What it focuses on is how not to be discovered by the other party, and how to approach in the safest and fastest way.
In other words, it’s ‘hunting time’.
It's like holding your breath and concentrating, tiptoeing and no longer saying anything. The most important thing is how to stick to it quietly.
Like a cat, one of its suggestions is to twist up your heels and walk on your toes, so that you can make no sound.
It's like a chicken, how can it stop at a rapid pace without making any movement.
Like a dog, how should you estimate the distance and the timing of action while running fast?
[Is this slave of mine a genius? How can he learn so quickly? 】
[The master is a genius, the master is the best!]
[Only you, a cat and a dog, can mess around, but you are lucky. He will not eat you no matter what. But it is different for me, an old hen. The eggs she laid yesterday are all gone.]
[Don’t make trouble, you can’t see the rapid progress of the master. Why do I feel that he can hear our conversation? 】
[Then there are ghosts! But it seems that the masters have a talent called "miraculous power". They have speed, strength, everything, but they don't know whether to eat shit or not. 】
[Gouzi, don’t tell me that you’ve eaten shit.]
[Fuck you, what’s wrong with eating shit? Shit smells delicious! But there’s something even more fragrant. I don’t know what it is. It’s at Xue Guan’s house in the east of the city, but I get kicked out every time I go in.
.The smell is fragrant, but it seems...a bit rotten, a bit bloody, very much like the smell of corpses I've seen in the suburbs.】
[It’s so noisy! Don’t disturb my sleep, or I’ll ask the servants to throw you out!]
[Woof woof woof! Little cat, be careful I’ll beat you up! 】
【Come on, who is afraid of whom!】
As soon as he finished speaking, a cat-dog battle ensued.
Lan Chen rolled his eyes, he didn't want to listen to the gossip of those aunts and uncles.
If possible, it would be better to analyze more and see what is wrong with the current step. Unfortunately, we cannot communicate.
After taking a long breath, he felt that his feet were weak and he almost fell down. It was really tiring to pace with such inhuman strength.
But now that he had found a method, he was relieved. All he needed to do was work harder and practice more in the future. There was no need to rush now.
Finally, he returned to the house, washed away all the fatigue from his body, and then found Zhu Laosan.
These days, both Yanfang and Tingyuge are doing well, and there is no need for Lan Chen to worry too much.
If there is one thing that needs to be kept in mind, it is soaring prices and food shortages.
"Zhu Laosan, are you done?"
Seeing that despite his age, Lan Chen was still busy keeping the Lan Mansion in order. Lan Chen was also quite pleased with his loyal butler.
"Yes, Master. Have you finished practicing too? Do you want to eat something? I'll go down and cook?"
"That's not necessary. I'll have enough to eat earlier."
"Well, whatever you want to eat, young master, I'm an old man like me. I'll be satisfied if I can prepare a meal that suits your appetite."
"Then thank you for your hard work. By the way, Zhu Laosan, haven't the expenses at home been a bit too much in recent days?"
"Oh, Master!" Zhu Laosan sighed. "I have been serving the Lan Mansion for so long, how could I embezzle your money? You don't know something. It's really not my fault."
Lan Chen smiled bitterly, "You must be wrong, Zhu Laosan, can't I still believe you? I also know that prices are high outside, so I wanted to ask you something. After all, you are the steward of Lan Mansion, and you are the one in charge of the house."
If you don't know about money management, who will?"
The sound of "big housekeeper" really hit Zhu Laosan's heart. Even though he tried his best to cover it up, his blooming smile still betrayed his excitement.
"Young master, you really compliment me! Actually, it's my fault that I don't have the eyesight. I didn't know how to buy some food and store it first. Food is so expensive outside. I can't imagine it. Everything is expensive, and the most outrageous thing is rice, which is quite expensive.
It was more than three times more expensive before!”
Lan Chen nodded. Three times was already an extremely dangerous signal, and the critical line was 'five times'.
He is well aware of the fact that if the food supply increases fivefold in a short period of time, it will reach the red line of famine.
But this is only for southern coastal towns like Xuzhou. Disaster may have occurred in the north.
It’s just that transportation is inconvenient and information is not available, so who can know the dire straits there.
"How much does the house have now?"
"If we provide for us, plus Yanfang's, now that we have no food, we can still last for three days. The weather is so hot that I don't dare to store things for a long time. Alas, I don't know when this damn weather will end. In previous years
You can still buy ice at least, now? Alas! A large piece of ice costs six cents!"
"It's okay. There's still me." Lan Chen patted Teacher Zhu on the shoulder. "Go and buy some food that's easy to store. Don't buy food that's not suitable for long storage. Disaster is coming, so be prepared.
.”
"Okay! Listen to the young master and grit your teeth. I'll buy some ice cubes too!"
"No need for ice cubes."
"But those melons and fruits will rot if left for a long time. Not to mention the weather. Without ice to freeze, they will rot the next day." Zhu Laosan was a little dumbfounded.
Although Lan Chen is pampered and pampered, he really doesn't want to eat any human fireworks. He doesn't know this bit of common sense?
But Zhu Laosan didn't feel too helpless. If it weren't for Lan Chen, the Lan Mansion would have been gone long ago, so he patiently explained.
Lan Chen waved his hand and interrupted Zhu Laosan's "mother-in-law".
"If I say no, then no, look."
Wait for him to finish reciting the formula in a low voice - "Heaven and earth are black and yellow, ice".
A large piece of white crystal ice also appeared in front of the courtyard.
"Do you think your young master went out to play this time? I learned it under the guidance of a senior person... and also stole some magical props from him. Although it is limited, the ice cubes on my body
I should be able to survive this period of time. If you need anything, just ask."
Zhu Laosan stared at the big ice block intently, even ignoring the severe cold, and started stroking it with his hand. Only when he was so cold that he retracted his hand, he looked at Lan Chen in shock.
"Master! Master! You are really promising. If I were to be like this..."
"Damn you! My father is not dead yet!"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Zhu Laosan was so panicked that he slapped himself several times, "I'm so excited, so excited, my mouth!"
"Okay, anyway, you don't have to worry about the silver and the ice cubes. Just do as you do. With you supporting me, I can rest assured when I'm out doing things."
After saying that, Lan Chen turned around and left.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Go to the mountains in the suburbs and come back later."
