Chapter 265: Carve a Dragon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosWith Gui You’s agreement, Su Xiaolu happily went out to practice her swordsmanship.
The next morning, she went to wake Chen Shi up to practice.
Chen Shi began to build his foundation. He was already six years old, and it was a good time to build his foundation. At this age, if he could practice, it would not be easy to hurt his muscles and bones.
Su Xiaolu did not let him stand on the stakes and let him do the horse stance.
Let’s see how much endurance Chen Shi had while she practiced her sword.
It had to be said that under Chen Shi’s fanboy-like gaze, Su Xiaolu felt that practicing the sword was very energetic. Chen Shi looked at Su Xiaolu’s valiant appearance and became even more determined.
Madam Qian was worried about Chen Shi, who had just started practicing martial arts. She would come to see him a few times a day, her eyes filled with heartache.
Many times, Madam Qian wanted to say that it was already very good that her family was ordinary, but she held back the words when they reached her mouth. This was because the fighting spirit that ignited in Chen Shi’s eyes was too dazzling. He was clearly so tired, but he still continued. As a mother, how could she pour cold water on him?
Madam Qian could only sigh to herself and massage Chen Shi’s legs every day.
Chen Shi wanted to become stronger, so he endured it no matter how hard it was.
Especially after watching Su Xiaolu and Su Chong fight, his determination to practice martial arts became even stronger. He looked at Su Chong in admiration, as if he had found his ambition.
He had to study in the future, but he could not fall behind in martial arts. Just by looking at Su Hua and Zhou Heng, he knew that they were also very hardworking and knew martial arts. There were many benefits to practicing martial arts, and their health was excellent.
December 14th. In the morning, the ground was already covered in a white sheet.
It snowed last night. There was snow everywhere, and it was still snowing heavily in the sky.
Su Xiaolu took out her sword and practiced her sword technique.
Her sword intent had also become sharper. When Gui You came out to take a look, he was instantly interested. It was extremely good to use the sword in the snow.
Gui You shouted, “Girl, here I come.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and turned around to dodge. Then, she hit back with her sword. Sparks flew between the two of them.
Su Xiaolu had improved very quickly in the past few months. Under Gui You, she could already take a few moves.
Chen Shi came over and watched eagerly from the entrance of the courtyard.
Su Xiaolu naturally attacked without holding back. Gui You parried her moves and then hit her with the back of his sword.
Back, shoulders, legs, arms…
It was only when her sword fell to the ground and she lay on the ground without any strength that this attempt to exchange blows ended.
Su Xiaolu looked at the snow in the sky. Her entire body was in pain, but she was in a very good mood. She smiled and said, “What beautiful snow.”
Gui You smiled and said, “It’s indeed beautiful.”
He flew over the wall and quickly found a pot of wine. He flew up to the roof and sat lazily. He propped up one knee with one hand and held the wine pot with the other. From time to time, he would raise his head and drink happily.
Chen Shi also began to do the horse stance.
Su Xiaolu lay on the snow for a while before some snowflakes fell on her body. After resting enough, she got up and meditated. Her Internal Breath circulated a few times before she got up and began to teach Chen Shi.
This year, Su Xiaolu was nine years old.
In the afternoon, Su Chong returned. Gui You let Su Chong rest for fifteen minutes before throwing the sword at him.
Su Xiaolu was shoveling snow. She wanted to build a huge snowman and called everyone to help.
“Xiaolu, what are you doing? Isn’t all this snow enough?”
Chen Erniu asked. The snow they shoveled had piled up into a small mountain.
Su Xiaolu smiled mysteriously and shook her head. “It’s not enough. For my snowman, the more snow, the better.”
Su Xiaolu kept her in suspense. On a whim, she wanted to make a dragon-shaped ice sculpture.
Hearing Su Xiaolu say that it was not enough, everyone continued to shovel snow. They shoveled everything from the roadside to the fields.
The children had all taken action. The adults were also curious about what they were going to do.
When there was enough snow, Su Xiaolu said, “I want to make a dragon-shaped snow ice sculpture. Now, let’s make the snow into strips and lie by the roadside.”
When they heard that Su Xiaolu was going to make a snow ice sculpture in the form of a dragon, everyone was very interested.
Chen Daniu, Chen Erniu, and Chen Shi, as well as Hu Shuangshuang, Hu Changshou, and Hu Changyang, Su Xiaoling, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng, all came to help. According to Su Xiaolu’s request, they separated the snow mountain and formed a winding shape along the road.
Moreover, they even used a shovel to pat it tightly.
Su Xiaolu went to get the knife. Everyone looked forward to it.
Su Xiaolu paused.
“Xiaolu, is something wrong?”
Chen Daniu asked.
Su Xiaolu touched her chin and said, “I’d better draw a blueprint first. I don’t know how to start now.”
Su Xiaolu took a pen and paper and everyone surrounded her.
Su Xiaolu began to draw dragons. Before long, she blushed…
She was embarrassed. Her drawing skills were not very good.
Su Hua was the first to laugh.
“Pfft—Xiaolu, are you sure that’s a dragon?”
Su Hua couldn’t help but ask with a smile.
Su Hua smiled, and everyone laughed secretly.
Su Xiaolu blushed. “I don’t think I have the talent to draw.”
If she didn’t have any talent in drawing, would she be able to successfully make ice sculptures?
Su Xiaolu doubted herself.
Zhou Heng took the pen and said with a smile, “Let me do it.”
Su Xiaolu touched her nose.
Zhou Heng’s drawing skills were clearly much better than hers. Soon, a dragon was drawn.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Let’s all carve it together. It will definitely look good.”
Everyone was tempted by Su Xiaolu’s suggestion.
They were all getting older and rarely played like this, but today, they shoveled a lot of snow. It seemed a pity to leave it piled up like that.
Hence, they agreed immediately.
Everyone began to divide the work.
Zhou Heng said, “The dragon head is more troublesome. Little Ling, Ah Hua, and I will be in charge. The dragon body will be done by Xiaolu, Xiaoshuang, and Chen Erniu. The dragon tail, Daniu, Xiaoshou, Xiaoyang, and Brother Shi. How about that?”
“No problem.”
Su Xiaolu agreed. Everyone agreed to this arrangement.
Su Xiaolu went to get knives. She distributed them and they began.
The blueprint was placed in a conspicuous place to prevent any mistakes.
Before they started, they had to make the snow more compact.
This dragon took almost four hours to carve. When it was completed, everyone looked happy.
A crystal dragon was lying on this road.
Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and the others came out to take a look, their expressions gentle and smiling.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian held Chen Xing’s hand and couldn’t help but smile at each other.
Madam Cao and Su Xiaozhi came over and couldn’t help but praise, “This is too beautiful.”
Chen Hu said, “Brother, let’s eat together tonight. How about we have a fish pot?”
Su Sanlang nodded. “Sure.”
It had been a long time since they ate together. The children of the three families had carved a dragon together. At such a time, it was indeed very suitable for them to eat together.
They set the table at Su Sanlang’s house. The central room was full, and it was snowing outside. As they ate from the hot pot, they only commented on how comfortable all of this was.
