Age: My Small World

Chapter 78 Prescription
Learning the basics of standing meditation is hard.

Yang Jun just followed Mr. Hu to learn for a while, and many parts of his body became sore, as if he had never used these parts before and suddenly had to use strength.

"Keep your waist down and don't lift your tail up. That's not how you use a keel."

Mr. Hu pinched his bones from time to time, and soon became quite surprised.

"I didn't expect this kid to be in such good shape."

"In this case, there's no need for that recipe."

He pondered for a moment and nodded in a direction where Yang Jun couldn't see.

Half an hour passed, and seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Hu finally announced that the project was preliminarily completed.

"We don't have enough time today, so we can only stop here. Come earlier tomorrow and do some standing meditation for an hour."

Yang Jun bared his teeth, rubbed his sore thigh, and asked, "Master, how long do I have to stand like this?"

He was able to persist, but he was afraid of having no visible goal.

"Stand here for a month and see how it goes. We'll decide based on your situation then."

His original plan was to stand for half a year or a year, but Yang Jun's health exceeded his expectations, so he started standing earlier.

"It's only a month. I have no objection." Yang Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. At least it didn't take ten or eight years, otherwise he would go crazy.

"I'll write you a prescription later. The herbs are all common and can be found in the fields around the village. Pick some and boil them in a pot. Apply it on your body. This will help relieve any discomfort and you'll be fine once you wake up."

Standing still is not very simple. It involves many movements. It is very hard to complete a set of movements, not to mention the need to pause between some movements. Horse stance is an important part of it, but it can also easily cause leg pain.

If it is not handled properly, it will not be easy to achieve such an effect the next day.

"I understand, Master."

Yang Jun seemed somewhat happy, even though he was physically tired.

It was unexpected that Mr. Hu accepted him as his disciple today. Then he immediately taught him the standing meditation, which took some time to adapt to.

When leaving, Yang Jun also took away a lot of persimmons, which were thrown into the small world as soon as he left.

Then he found an empty alley and quickly got some spiritual water and drank it.

The body that should have been sore quickly returned to normal.

He paused while holding the prescription written by Mr. Hu.

"You should know that I should experience the effect of this prescription first, but now I can only wait until tomorrow." It was only because the spiritual water was so effective that it allowed him to quickly recover his lost energy.

With a little excitement, his class throughout the afternoon seemed a little more excited.

A small note was handed over from the front row.

"Are you OK?"

Jiang Xueying obviously noticed it and was a little worried.

Although she felt sorry for herself at noon, she was still quite concerned about Yang Jun's situation. He was one of her few friends in school.

"It's okay. By the way, remember to take your medicine after school. I almost forgot today." He also handed the note back, and the two of them were quite happy.

When Jiang Xueying heard him say this, she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

He really didn't forget to give himself "medicine".

……

School in the afternoon.

Yang Jun still presided over today's four-person study session, and then went back with Xiao Yuer.

On the way, he was thinking about what was happening with Mr. Hu.

Although he had already kowtowed to become a disciple today, he still wanted to complete a formal ceremony of becoming a disciple.

The ancients still had the six rituals of giving gifts, so it's only right to give Mr. Ba a few gifts. There's no need to prepare food for now.

Now that it is the harvest season, supplies in the city are not so tight, and Mr. Hu is not short of anything on a daily basis.

"We still need to get some meat. The supply of this stuff is never increasing."

The livestock in the village were concentrated together, but their number did not increase, so the supply to the city remained the same amount.

He still had some fatty pork stored in his space, so he could give some to Mr. Ba. It could be stored in oil and eaten for a while.

This is like killing two birds with one stone, after all, it solves the problems of meat and oil at the same time.

Then add some pumpkin to add a sweet taste.

He didn't sell all the pumpkins at once, but left a few big ones just in case. Besides, he had to keep the seeds as well.

Xiaoyuer, who was standing by, saw that he was distracted, and suddenly came over with a wicked smile and pushed him to the side.

Then he deliberately grabbed him and said as if he didn't know anything: "Brother Xiaoshan, why weren't you careful when you walked? You almost fell into the ditch."

Unexpectedly, Yang Jun subconsciously reached out to grab something and grabbed her braid.

"Xiao Yu'er, you're rebelling! You actually dared to push me into the ditch."

Yang Jun didn't let go, but rubbed the braid.

It’s true, Xiaoyuer’s hair is of really good quality. It feels very soft in the hands, which means that the little girl washes it frequently, which is not common among girls in the village.

Nowadays, people still use wood ash or soapberry to wash their hair, but in fact most people just use water.

Just then he thought of something, reached into his bag, and handed her a bar of soap.

The last time he went to buy a thermos, he also bought some other things, not to mention crispy candies and tooth powder, and a few bars of soap. The main reason was that he was not used to the previous method of washing with pure water, which did not remove many stains.

The struggling little fish blinked its big eyes at him when it saw something new in front of it.

"This is for you. It will be more convenient to take a shower and wash your face with soap in the future."

When the little girl heard him mention taking a bath, she turned away in shame.

"Brother Xiaoshan, how can you talk about bathing with a girl like that?" She stamped her feet lightly.

"You'll smell so good after washing. Do you want it?"

Yang Jun said jokingly.

The little girl quickly took it and said, "I'll return it to you later."

She took a closer look at the soap before carefully putting it into her bag, and suddenly glanced at Yang Jun's cloth bag.

"Brother Xiaoshan brought it specially for me?" Thinking of this, the little girl's heart beat faster.

After a while, she recovered a little, turned around and said to Yang Jun, "Brother Xiaoshan, I will buy you a new one after I sell the ramie."

In recent days, the mother and daughter have been taking advantage of their time to harvest ramie.

"Okay, let's talk about it after you save up enough money." Yang Jun felt helpless.

As they were returning home, they saw everyone rushing to the grain field with their bowls of rice.

When they saw Yang Jun and Cheng Xiaoyu, someone would remind them to hurry up and get their bowls to eat.

It's time for the big pot meal.

Since they are both high school students, they can have breakfast and lunch at school.

As for dinner, it doesn't matter where you eat it.

They are used to coming back to eat with their families.
