After the New Year holiday began, the weather became colder and colder. It snowed almost every two or three days. Many of the commercial streets in the village were buried in snow, seriously affecting business. Helpless, the merchants could only issue a mission to the village's mission center and hire a group of recently graduated genin to clear the snow on the streets.
As for the snow on the streets of the residential area, it was naturally up to the residents to clear it.
Outside the residential area of the Moonlight Clan, the two old men, Moonlight Well and Moonlight Matsushita, used their influence to gather a group of young people to shovel the snow outside.
Inside the house, Cold Wind closed the sliding door, blocking the noise and cold air from the outside world. He lazily sat on the warm quilt, practicing the Body Activation Forbidden Technique while refining Chakra.
After more than two months of experience in stimulating the cells under the skin, Cold Wind could already stimulate the cells of other organs and tissues at the same time with ease. The only thing that made Cold Wind unhappy was that there were too many cells in his body. There were tens of trillions of them, and his Chakra was limited, so he couldn't take care of all the cells in his body at the same time. The progress of his practice was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Fortunately, the further he practiced the Body Activation Forbidden Technique, the more cells were activated, and the more Chakra there was. Naturally, the progress of his practice would also be faster. As long as Cold Wind patiently soaked in the water bit by bit, both his body and Chakra would become stronger and stronger.
Ka!
At this moment, Gale suddenly pushed open the sliding door and walked in. "Brother, Auntie Keiko is calling for you!"
"Calling me? What's the matter? "
Cold Wind opened his eyes, but he was unwilling to get up. After all, the quilt under him had just been warmed up.
"Shovel the snow!" Gale said excitedly. "Grandpa Well and Grandpa Matsushita are almost at our door!"
"Alright."
Cold Wind sighed. Why was it so difficult to cultivate properly?
When she walked out of the bedroom, the cold wind instantly felt a chill seeping into her neck through the gaps of her cotton-padded jacket.
Cold Wind tightened his clothes and followed his little brother out.
It was rare for Keiko to rest at home, but she wasn't idle. At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa in the living room sewing a scarf. When she saw Cold Wind come out, she said without raising her head, "Wind-chan, Gale, go outside and help the two grandpas sweep the snow."
"Got it!"
Gale screamed and rushed towards the entrance.
Cold Wind followed him out.
Outside the house, two retired old men were instructing a dozen young boys and girls to shovel snow on both sides of the street.
Cold Wind glanced at it and saw Moonlight Smoke and Early In The Morning.
Early In The Morning, she held a small shovel and followed behind Moonlight Smoke, looking left and right to watch the fun. Occasionally, she would shovel the snow, but because her hands were too short, the shovel could not reach the snow. She was so cute.
"Haha, Little Cold Wind, Little Gale, you're finally here."
Seeing the two brothers come out of the well, he hurriedly asked someone to give them two shovels. "Don't just stand there, let's get to work."
Cold Wind sighed. Forget it. I'll just take it as a form of exercise.
With that, he took the shovel and began to shovel the snow.
A few minutes later, Han Feng heard the sound of his little brother and Mao Yue Xiyan chatting from behind.
He turned his head in surprise and saw Gale teaching Mao Xiyan how to use a shovel to shovel the snow.
Han Feng didn't feel good.
Gale, Gale, your brother is shoveling snow in front of you, and you're actually hiding behind and flirting with a clown?!
Is this what I usually teach you?!
Not sure if it was fate, but Strong Wind and Mao Yue Xiyan seemed to have endless things to say about shoveling snow. They kept chattering endlessly, showing off their affection. Cold Wind walked in front of them, feeling very tired.
They worked until noon, and only then did they shovel the snow on both sides of the street.
"Very good, everyone did well. Then, tomorrow at seven in the morning, let's continue to work hard!" Moonlight Well raised his arm and shouted, "Dismissed!"
Although the street was cleaned, it would snow at night, and it would be blocked the next day, so this work would probably continue for a long time.
"Gale, let's go home."
Cold Wind taught the shovel to someone else. He turned around and saw his little brother and Early In The Morning discussing how to build a snowman and have a snowball fight in the afternoon.
After eating dog food for the whole morning, Cold Wind was eager to go home and eat a seaweed sesame rice ball to relax.
After they parted, Cold Wind asked his little brother on the way home, "Gale, did you know Early In The Morning?"
Gale was very excited. "Brother, today is the first time I met Xiao Xiyan, but Xiao Xiyan is so cute."
"…"
Cold Wind sighed and did not want to say anything.
After lunch, Cold Wind thought that he had time to cultivate, but unfortunately, he was too naive.
"Wind sauce, Gale."
Huihuizi ordered as she cleared the dishes. "It's going to be New Year soon, go and pick some plum blossom branches, pine branches and bamboo."
"Got it!"
Gale shouted and jumped up to pick up his dagger. "Brother, let's go. Hurry up!"
Plum blossom, pine branches, bamboo … the Three Friends of Winter?
Cold Wind followed Cold Wind out the door with a confused look. When the cold wind blew, Cold Wind could not help but ask softly, "Gale, what are you doing with these?"
"Making door pines." Gale said, "Brother, we're going to chop bamboo, plum blossom branches and plum blossom branches to make door pines and put them at the door."
Cold Wind recalled the memories in his mind. In the past, during the New Year, door pines made of plum blossom branches, pine branches and bamboo were placed at the door. They had a good meaning, symbolizing longevity and health.
They followed his little brother all the way to the north and soon came to a small bamboo forest. However, there were already many young people chopping bamboo here.
The bamboo required to make door pines only needed four or five pieces, so often one pillar could satisfy the needs of several families.
"Brother, let's choose that bamboo!"
Gale's eyes lit up and he picked the thickest bamboo. Then, holding his unsharpened short sword, he resolutely rushed up.
Clang!
Amidst the crisp sound of the collision, the younger brother was shaken back and finally sat down on the snowy ground.
In the shaking, the snow on the thick bamboo fell from the sky and landed on Gale's face.
Cold Wind shook his head and laughed. The rest of the young people who were chopping bamboo also laughed.
"Brother …"
The little brother returned to Cold Wind's side in a daze, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Gale, the sword in your hand has not been sharpened. You can't chop the bamboo."
Cold Wind smiled and patted his little brother's shoulder. "Leave it to me."
Cold Wind took out a black kunai with a sharp edge. It was the birthday gift from Waterstop.
Gently touching the sharp edge of the kunai, Cold Wind calmly walked three or four steps away from the thickest bamboo. Then, he hooked the small circle at the top of the kunai's handle with his little finger and formed a seal with both hands.
Body Flicker Technique!
In an instant, the Chakra in Cold Wind's body quickly poured into his legs. At the same time, Cold Wind flicked his right little finger and threw the kunai into his palm. Then, he took a step forward and his whole body seemed to turn into a gust of wind and disappeared in an instant.
Clang!
Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal and stone, in the next moment, Cold Wind's figure appeared behind the thick bamboo.
Hua Hua …
The bamboo leaves kept swaying, and under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the thick bamboo fell straight to the left.
"Reflect, reflect!!"
"Is he a ninja?!"
"So powerful!"
In the midst of the exclamations, Cold Wind turned around as if nothing had happened and then used the kunai in his hand to saw the bamboo.
He still remembered that on Han Feng's birthday more than a month ago, Han Feng would lose his balance and fall down after taking three steps with the Body Flicker Technique. However, after exercising every day, practicing the Body Activation Forbidden Technique, and falling down more than a hundred times, Han Feng could now take six steps steadily!
And after more than a month of accumulation, the Chakra in Cold Wind's body can now support more than 20 steps of the body flicker technique!
The most important thing is that Cold Wind has a premonition that according to his current training trend, at most half a year, his body can completely adapt to the acceleration of the body flicker technique, and he won't have to worry about falling down!
