Actually, it was very difficult for plant masters to gain the trust of plants. The main reason for this was the problem of communication. When plant masters communicate with plants, it was as if they were separated by a layer of gauze. This feeling was very uncomfortable, making communication very difficult.
It can be imagined that if you can't talk to the plant, how can you make the plant trust you? This was also the reason why plant masters couldn't gain the trust of plants.
Communication trumps everything! This was a famous saying in the world of plant masters. Many plant masters treated communicating with plants as a top priority. This was also why when Hu Yuan heard Little Crane Grass say that he could communicate with Ku Wuhua like a human, he immediately took him in as a disciple.
For Little Crane Grass, working in the Bitter Flower field wasn't tiring. On the contrary, it was a kind of enjoyment. Because of this, Little Crane Grass naturally wouldn't be lazy.
When the sun was high up in the sky, Little Crane Grass took the hoe and returned to the plantation house. Hu Yuan had already returned. Little Crane Grass placed the hoe in the tool room and then went to the washroom to wash it before returning to his room.
Hu Yuan was sitting in the living room drinking tea. Little Crane Grass gave Hu Yuan a salute and said, "Master."
Hu Yuan nodded and said, "Sit down and drink some water. Wait for Cui Xiang to finish cooking. After eating, you can take a rest." Little Crane Grass nodded and then sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and slowly drank it.
Before long, Cui Xiang finished cooking. Lunch was more sumptuous than breakfast. There were vegetables, meat, and white rice. Little Crane Grass also had a good meal.
After eating, Little Crane Grass returned to his room. After looking at the things he wrote down yesterday, he fell asleep. An hour later, Hu Yuan woke him up on time. The two went to the same place as yesterday. Today, they were still doing leg exercises. However, Little Crane Grass was much better than yesterday. Now, he can use his right hand to touch the tip of his left foot. He can also use his left hand to touch the tip of his right foot.
After returning to his room and eating, Hu Yuan still had Little Crane Grass learn from the book he wrote. But today, he talked a lot more than yesterday.
Little Crane Grass's days seemed to have returned to peace. Outsiders simply didn't know that he existed. Even the Hu Clan slowly forgot about him.
After ten days, Little Crane Grass finally loosened the soil of the Bitter Flower field. When he returned to his room at noon, Little Crane Grass said to Hu Yuan, "Master, I've loosened the soil of the Bitter Flower field. What should we do tomorrow?"
When Hu Yuan heard Little Crane Grass, he couldn't help but stare. The Bitter Flower Field in the valley was very big, yet Little Crane Grass was able to loosen the soil in such a short time. This was beyond Hu Yuan's expectations. However, he didn't doubt Little Crane Grass, he nodded and said, "Tomorrow, go to the Hundred Orchard and pick some fruits." Little Crane Grass nodded and said, "Tomorrow, go to the Hundred Orchard and pick some fruits."
Little Crane Grass nodded and said, "Yes, master."
After eating, the two went to the training field. In the past ten days, Little Crane Grass had been stretching his legs. Hu Yuan didn't teach him anything, so Little Crane Grass wasn't anxious.
After arriving at the training field, Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Your tendons have been stretched. From today onwards, you'll officially start practicing martial arts. My Hu Clan's martial arts also pay attention to nature. However, the foundation is very important. The first rule of practicing martial arts is that your lower body must be stable. Today, I'll give you the first lesson, the Horse Stance!"
After saying that, Hu Yuan explained the Horse Stance to Little Crane Grass. However, when Hu Yuan had Little Crane Grass do the Horse Stance, there was a slight difference. Little Crane Grass stood on two shorter wooden stakes to do the Horse Stance. These two stakes were only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Little Crane Grass placed his feet on them just right. If he moved randomly, he would fall off the stakes.
After having Little Crane Grass stand on the stakes and do the Horse Stance, Hu Yuan went to the side and sat on the stakes. He slowly closed his eyes as if he was sleeping. He didn't tell Little Crane Grass when he could get up.
At first, Little Crane Grass was still excited. However, after a while, he found that he couldn't be excited anymore. He felt pain all over his body and he was trembling. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
Little Crane Grass had been standing for more than an hour. His body was trembling. His head and body were covered in sweat. It was obvious that he couldn't hold on any longer.
In fact, Little Crane Grass being able to hold on until now was already beyond Hu Yuan's expectations. Although Hu Yuan looked like he was sleeping, he saw Little Crane Grass's every move. He thought that Little Crane Grass being able to hold on for more than ten minutes was already very amazing. After all, he was only a seven-year-old child. For someone who had never practiced martial arts, the Horse Stance was definitely a kind of torture.
However, Little Crane Grass was able to hold on for more than an hour. This kind of perseverance was beyond Hu Yuan's expectations. At this time, Little Crane Grass's body began to tremble slightly. It looked like he would fall off the stake at any time.
At this time, Hu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at Little Crane Grass and said in a deep voice, "Alright, get up." Little Crane Grass nodded and slowly stood up. He was able to stand up directly without falling off the stake. This was already him clenching his teeth and persevering. Otherwise, he would have directly sat on the ground.
Hu Yuan walked to Little Crane Grass and said, "Get up and move your body. Then, you can start jumping stakes."
Little Crane Grass answered and kept walking on the ground to move his body. After a while, he felt a little better. Although his body was still sore, it was much better than before.
Hu Yuan brought Little Crane Grass to a half Mego wooden stake and said to Little Crane Grass, "Now, you can start jumping stakes. Jump from the ground to this stake, then jump down and jump up again. Start. If I don't tell you to stop, don't stop." Little Crane Grass nodded and started jumping stakes. However, Hu Yuan had a condition for him to jump stakes. That was, his hands couldn't move. He could only rely on the strength of his legs to jump.
Little Crane Grass began its tragic zombie jumping off the cliff. It jumped nearly a thousand times. In the end, Little Crane Grass almost couldn't feel its legs. It was just jumping mechanically. That kind of feeling was definitely a kind of torture.
Of course, Little Crane Grass didn't count how many times he jumped, but Hu Yuan did. He waited until Little Crane Grass jumped a thousand times before calling for him to stop. But he didn't expect that when he shouted for it to stop, the Little Crane Grass wouldn't stop. It was still jumping. Hu Yuan had no choice but to go far away. He patted the Little Crane Grass, and then patted him a few times. Only then did the Little Crane Grass completely stop. But his legs were so sore that he almost couldn't stand.
Hu Yuan didn't care so much. He didn't let Little Crane Grass rest. Instead, he let Little Crane Grass walk slowly and move his blood. He couldn't cause the blood to stagnate.
After moving for more than an hour, Little Crane Grass finally stopped. At this time, Hu Yuan came over with a wooden knife and handed it to Little Crane Grass. Then, he took Little Crane Grass to a tree. The outside of this tree was wrapped with a thick layer of straw rope. On the straw rope, there was a black line. The black line was horizontal, a little shorter than Little Crane Grass' height. When he waved his knife, he could cut the black line.
Hu Yuan said, "Use your knife to cut this black and red line. If I don't tell you to stop, don't stop." Little Crane Grass nodded, then he chopped at the black and red line.
This seemed like a very simple matter, but it wasn't easy to do it. Especially now that Little Crane Grass was sore all over his body, it was even more difficult to do. Out of ten cuts, it would be good if he could hit twice.
However, Little Crane Grass didn't stop. Moreover, he tried to make himself more accurate. He was very focused.
Soon, he lost track of time. He didn't know how many times he had hit. When Hu Yuan called for him to stop, Little Crane Grass felt that it was very difficult for him to raise his hand. Hu Yuan helped him move a little more before leading him back to his room. When they arrived, Hu Yuan had Little Crane Grass go to the washroom. There was a wooden bucket in the washroom that was filled with hot water. Moreover, there was a medicinal smell in the water. Hu Yuan had Little Crane Grass soak in the bucket until the water in the bucket was a little cold.
After washing his body, Little Crane Grass felt that the soreness in his body was a lot better. Although his body was still a little swollen, it wasn't as uncomfortable as it was in the afternoon.
After eating dinner, Hu Yuan didn't let Little Crane Grass learn immediately. He still let Little Crane Grass go out for a stroll and play by himself before coming back to learn. Little Crane Grass ran out alone and talked to Big Pine Tree and Littleflower for a while before returning to the room. Hu Yuan was already waiting for him.
Today, Hu Zhen didn't talk a lot. Perhaps he could see that Little Crane Grass was tired, so he didn't talk too much. After talking, he had Little Crane Grass go back to rest.
After returning to his room, Little Crane Grass wrote down everything that he talked about today. Then he carefully looked at it for a while before lying down to sleep. Today, he was very tired, so he fell asleep as soon as he laid down on his bed.
The next morning, Little Crane Grass woke up at the same time as usual. When he woke up, he felt his body and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Everything was normal. Little Crane Grass couldn't help but be happy. He jumped down from his bed and put on his clothes. After making the bed, he ran to the living room.
Hu Yuan was already sitting in the living room. Little Crane Grass bowed to Hu Yuan and said, "Master."
Hu Yuan nodded, then he looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Go wash your face. When you come back, we'll eat. After eating, we'll go to the Hundred Orchard and pick the fruits there." Little Crane Grass nodded, then he ran to the bathroom and finished washing his face.
When they returned to their room, Cui Xiang had already cooked meat porridge. After drinking a large bowl of porridge, Little Crane Grass and Hu Yuan went to the tool room and took two baskets before they went to the Hundred Orchard.
The Hundred Orchard was called an orchard, but it was actually a gentle slope in the valley. There were all kinds of fruit trees there. When Cui Xiang didn't come to cook for Little Crane Grass, Little Crane Grass would pick fruits from the Hundred Orchard to eat. Therefore, he wasn't unfamiliar with the place.
The fruits in the Hundred Orchard have been ripe for a long time. If they weren't picked, the fruits would fall from the trees. Because of this, Hu Yuan brought Little Crane Grass here to pick fruits.
