Prosperity through farming

Chapter 38

Xiaohan nodded, obediently let go of her husband's hand, and walked into the yard alone.

Strange, obviously from the shuttle before, the backyard is a martial arts arena, why has it turned into a garden again?Did I make a mistake on the shuttle just now, or is everything I see now fake?

After the husband opened the courtyard door, Xiaohan felt as if he had stepped into a garden. The soft green grass spread all over the ground under his feet. The courtyard was very large, covering hundreds of acres.There is no shortage of rockery and gardens, and many herbs and vines with medicinal value are planted. At a glance, you can tell that it is a spiritual plant. Although it is not a rare variety among thousands, it is also a rare variety that is one in a thousand.

Of course, there are also flowers and trees, but depending on the location and quantity of planting, these vines and herbs that grow tangled and climbing wantonly are the focus of cultivation.

Xiaohan looked left and right curiously. From time to time, butterflies and bees buzzed to and fro, and birds flew in the sky. From time to time, they flew from one cluster of vines to another cluster of vines. The chirping sound was very refreshing .

The air is filled with the faint scent of grass and trees, the sounds of those small animals can be heard in the ears, and the eyes are full of green grass and various spiritual herbs scattered in a patchwork manner.

Xiaohan leaned down, stretched out his hand and pulled the soft and long grass leaves, and had to let out a sigh of admiration—well, the eyes, nose, ears and fingers showed that this garden was real, not what I saw on the shuttle. training ground.

But she always felt a sense of disobedience, and she always felt that the place she saw on the shuttle was real, and this garden was fake.

If you don't understand, just let it go.Xiaohan is now very used to letting go of something she can't figure out, so she continued to walk forward.

Walking on the soft lawn for a while between the flowering trees and wisterias, Xiaohan saw the pavilion that the husband mentioned.

The location of this pavilion should be in the middle of the garden, not too far from Xiaohan, but it made Xiaohan a little embarrassed.

There is a clear stream between the pavilion and Xiaohan. Standing far away, Xiaohan can clearly see the pebbles at the bottom of the water and the aquatic plants protruding from the crevices of the stones. There are also small fish and shrimps swimming around in the water. .

The creek is neither wide nor narrow. I say it is wide because adults can’t cross it in a single step. I say it is narrow because it is only more than ten feet wide—it’s not wide enough to use a boat to carry people. The degree of crossing the stream.

Xiaohan raised her head to observe the environment, she had to cross the stream to go to the pavilion, the problem is, this stream is still a bit difficult for her.However, since the husband asked her to go to the pavilion, there must be a way for her to walk there.Sure enough, there is a small bridge not far away, which is made of bamboo. From Xiaohan's point of view, the bridge deck and bottom support rods are made of thick bamboo poles, and they are erected at half a person's height from the ground. .

The height of half a person is calculated based on the height of an adult, which is already quite high for Xiaohan. Moreover, when she stood by the bridge, she froze for a while. She didn't feel it before, but when she got closer, she saw that There is only one thick moso bamboo on the entire bridge deck, which is a standard single-plank bridge. The width of the entire bridge deck is not as wide as the sole of an adult's foot.

Whoa, daddy, where are you?How will this go?
Turning around to look, the garden door seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and the place where she walked in turned into a fence, not to mention the figures of her father and husband.

It's too weird, "Scary Horror Supernatural Movie", even though the sun is still shining on the body to bring warmth, Xiaohan still trembled a little, feeling a little flustered.

——The backer who I thought would always be standing behind me with courage and support suddenly disappeared. It was like climbing a dangerous peak but found that the rope tied to my body was broken.

After being startled suddenly, Xiaohan exhaled deeply, "Don't be afraid, I'm in a private school now." No matter how you say it, in Zhangjiazhuang, Xiaotian Village, I won't be in any danger!
However, both her father and husband disappeared, indicating that she had to find her own way to overcome the difficulties in front of her—in this way, the admission test was relatively strict.

Thinking of this, she paid more attention to the bamboo pole bridge. After all, the entire garden has come here, and it is only here that it is considered to have encountered a problem.So, presumably this is the test.

Xiaohan watched carefully around the end of the bamboo bridge. The part of the upper bridge that is slanted is made of two thick moso bamboos tied together. Xiaohan squatted down and looked far into the distance. In this way, when two moso bamboos are tied together, there is naturally a gap in the middle, and between this gap is fixed the thick moso bamboo that is used as the bridge deck.

After understanding the structure of the single-plank bridge, Xiaohan squatted down and checked the part where the two moso bamboos used as the bridge frame penetrated into the mud. It would be a disaster if it was not fixed firmly here.

Stretching out his hand, he pulled out the bamboo bridge frame with his greatest strength, feeling the force of the obstruction in his hand, huh, very good, the bridge is still very strong.

Then the test should not be as complicated as she thought suspiciously - if the bridge frame is not fixed firmly, the bamboo bridge made of five coarse moso bamboos must be re-tied into a pontoon bridge that can cross the stream.

Xiaohan can't be blamed for thinking too much, there are so many vines planted in this garden, they can all be used as ropes to tie things, once she discovered this test, plus the vines in the yard, she thought too much.

After confirming the firmness of the bamboo bridge, Xiaohan stepped on the bamboo bridge, and the bridge frame went smoothly, but when she stood in front of the bridge made of a single moso bamboo, she still did not rush to step on it, but squatted down again, and carefully checked the binding. The bamboo cable at the junction of the bridge frame and the bridge deck was confirmed to be correct as far as she could see, so she put out a foot to test it out, to see if she could bear her own weight if she actually stepped on it.

The bamboo bridge is unexpectedly strong, which is weird. If this bridge is to test courage, shouldn't it be made softer and make people feel weightless?
Xiao Han was puzzled, but stepped on it anyway.

Although there is only a single moso bamboo, Xiaohan is only four years old after all. When she steps on the moso bamboo, the whole sole of her foot can be firmly placed in the middle of the moso bamboo. Although the left and right sides of the sole of the foot are a little empty, it does not affect her stability. The main location of her center of gravity.

Xiaohan took a deep breath and began to move forward.

Yes, Xiaohan has already figured it out. During the whole process of crossing the bamboo bridge, the only problem that may go wrong is in the way of walking. On narrow bridge decks, problems are most likely to occur.

The best way is to not leave after both feet have moved to the moso bamboo.

After confirming that the bamboo bridge is strong enough, Xiaohan rubs his left foot along the moso bamboo for a distance of one step, stands still, then shifts his center of gravity to his left foot, slides his right foot to his left foot, and waits for his right foot to reach his left foot Then, move the center of gravity back to the right foot, and then move the left foot forward for a certain distance, repeating this back and forth, Xiaohan squirmed forward on the bamboo bridge one by one, in order to balance the center of gravity of the body on this On the small single moso bamboo, she also opened her arms, lying on both sides of her body, carefully stabilizing herself.

Moving forward in such a slippery way, Xiaohan focused her attention on the pavilion on the other side of the bridge. She knew that when crossing the bridge, she must not look down. The flow of the stream would unconsciously change the center of gravity. fall down.

She didn't know that on the top of the tall pavilion, Zhang Hoe and Zhang Min were standing on the flying shuttle, observing her every move from a hidden figure.

Zhang Min had already nodded repeatedly when he heard Xiao Han consolingly muttering to himself when he found her alone in the courtyard, "That's right, a four-year-old girl who suddenly found out that all the adults were gone, how could she be so clear about herself?" No danger, don't panic when things happen, very good." Then, she gave a high evaluation of her careful inspection of the bamboo bridge, "very careful, not bad," and gave Zhang Hoe a proud look, "and You don't look like one at all, luckily you don't."

At this time, seeing her stretching her arms and twisting her little buttocks, Zhang Min's smile was no longer gentle, but a lot more wanton, "It's so cute, like a duckling, tsk, such a cute girl." Son, are you willing to let her go to private school so early?"

Zhang Hoe was very proud. "My daughter is smart. Look, she keeps her eyes on the pavilion in front of her and never looks down." He said he praised himself a few times before returning to Zhang Min's question, "There is no way." , the meaning of the ancestor, it is best to let her have the ability to protect herself as soon as possible."

Under the close attention of the two elders, Xiaohan came to the other side of the bamboo bridge slowly, with sweat dripping from her forehead, she carefully stepped on a bamboo made of two moso bamboos. The center of gravity remained on the back foot very carefully, and slowly shifted the weight to the bridge frame. Finally, the next second when he stood firmly on the bridge frame, he rushed down quickly until his foot reached the bridge frame. After standing still on the ground, she relaxed and began to breathe heavily—just now, in order to stabilize her center of gravity on the bridge, she even held back her breath to the slightest, but it suffocated her to death.

While trying to relax his tense mood with breathing, Xiaohan walked towards the pavilion.

The pavilion is the most common octagonal pavilion made of moso bamboo. There are chairs surrounded by fences at the bottom. You can sit on all six sides, and the two sides are empty.

After Xiaohan entered the pavilion, she looked around. She thought that her husband and father would be waiting for her in the pavilion, but they didn't?

That's okay, Xiaohan walked up to the chair, which was a bit high, she climbed up and sat down, sighed, her legs shook slightly, and began to relieve the tense and tense legs and feet just now.

She didn't know that the moment she stepped into the pavilion, Zhang Hoe and Zhang Min's eyes were focused on the top of the pavilion.
