Life on a deserted island with a rich daughter

Chapter 172
Lin Dong, who learned that he had been tricked, felt extremely regretful.

This old guy is just playing with himself!It also made him spend a day of hard work in vain.

Heaven, earth, why did you do this to me?

What did i do wrong?
I just want to learn kung fu. Why do you deceive me like this.

Lin Dong kept resenting in his heart.

But once things are done, you can only admit it.

In the end, he forced a smile on his face, said goodbye to the old man, and went back first.

Walking on the road, he looked at his blistered hands.

What is he doing this for?

But he didn't give up.

Because after thinking about it in the end, the old man must have his reasons for doing this.

And he only met that old man once, how could he teach him kung fu like this?
So he felt that the old man asked him to do these tasks, he should be testing whether he was an upright person, whether he could endure hardships and stand hard work.

When they returned to the cave, the two girls saw that Lin Dong's hands were red and swollen, and there were blisters, so they immediately came up with concern and asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong with you? Why is your hand still injured?"

Ou Yafei said nervously, and quickly picked up a bowl of water.

Feed it to Lin Dong first, and then apply hot water to his hands.

"Didn't you go to find Sun Yong? Why did your hands become like this?"

Look at hands full of blisters and calluses.

Jiang Xueli was a little worried and a little scared.

She had never seen a hand full of blisters, and even felt a little sick.

"Don't mention it, I went to find Sun Yong, but that guy asked me to help him with work."

"I've worked so long in the past that my hands have become like this."

Lin Dong also pretended to be very helpless and said.

At the same time, I feel sorry for Sun Yong in my heart, I'm sorry Brother Sun, in order not to expose the master, I can only say this.

The two girls said that he didn't understand human feelings at all, and somehow he went to help Sun Yong with a white job.

But only Lin Dong knew that he went to the old man to learn Kung Fu, so it wasn't just a job for nothing.

On the second day, Lin Dong went to the old man to learn Kung Fu as usual.

And the old master still didn't teach him kung fu, just repeating what happened yesterday.

But Lin Dong didn't complain this time, he just went about it silently.

For several days in a row, the old man still repeated the things that Lin Dong was asked to do.

Carrying water, chopping wood, chopping wood.

But Lin Dong never complained, just endured silently.

After working like this for more than a week, even if Lin Dong works now, his hands won't get blisters anymore.

And it's very easy for him to do those farm jobs now.

For example, to carry water, carry two buckets of water and then run five kilometers, that is not a problem.

"How are you feeling now?"

the old man asked meaningfully.

"I feel that my body has become a lot lighter now, but the strength I use is indeed greater than before."

"And I didn't feel any difficulty doing those jobs."

Lin Dong was a little surprised.

Because he clearly felt that his body had changed abnormally from a week ago.

Leaving aside his strength, he felt that doing the work was not tiring at all, but very relaxing.

"Hehe, now you know why I didn't teach you first, but let you work first."

What the old master said made Lin Dong realize immediately.

It turned out that he just knew that before he wanted to practice kung fu.

The first thing is to stabilize yourself, the mentality of the whole person.

Practice the basics first, so that you can practice better.

Fortunately, he didn't give up before, but chose to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Apprentice knows now, thank you for your teaching, Master."

Lin Dong cupped his fists and bowed.

"Okay! Don't train today, I will take you fishing."

The old man smiled, and then he took two fishing rods.

These two fishing rods were also made by him, compared to the simple fishing rod made by Lin Dong.

The fishing rod made by the old man is very delicate.

"Fishing? Master, don't you want me to exercise anymore?"

He is used to doing farm work and exercising, but now he is asked to go fishing. Lin Dong is still not used to it, because he just sits quietly and fishes.

"Who said fishing is not exercise, let me ask you, what is most needed for fishing?"

the old man asked.

"The most important test of fishing is a person's patience and endurance."

Lin Dong replied.

"That's right, if you want to catch a good fish, the fisherman must have strong patience and endurance."

"So fishing is also a test of a person's very ability."

After the old man finished speaking, Lin Dong nodded.

Sure enough, the master is still a master, and he has a set of skills to teach people.

As the old saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy.

"Okay, let's not talk about it first, take the things and let's go."

So the two took their equipment and went to the fishing location.

It was fishing on a nearby lake.

There are two pits here, just for two people to sit there and fish. It seems that the old man has prepared them long ago.

"This fishing is also very particular."

"This includes the habits of different types of fish, fishing skills in different seasons and different weather, the production and selection of bait..."

The old man talked a lot, but what Lin Dong heard was vague.

In his eyes, it's just fishing with a fishing rod, so why make it so complicated.

Seeing Lin Dong's dazed face, the old man couldn't help laughing, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"These are things you will learn in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't know it now, let's get started first."

After the old master finished speaking, Lin Dong tied the bait to the hook and threw the fishing line forcefully.

However, it may be due to the wrong strength or direction. The bait floated on the water and did not sink.

"Master, why didn't I sink?"

Lin Dong asked puzzledly.

"That's because your method is useless. Let me tell you the skills of fishing."

"The first is throwing the pole. The key point of throwing the pole is that each pole must be thrown in place, and then the tip of the pole should not be inserted too deep into the water when pressing the water line."

"When baiting, put the bottom hook first, and put the hook in the middle of the bait."

Although the old man talked a lot, Lin Dong just didn't understand a word.

But this time he knew that it was probably because he hadn't put the bait in place.

So he drew it back and put the bait in place again.

Throwing the rod again, this time it was finally successful and the bait sank.

"Not bad, very savvy."

The old man said with satisfaction, and then the two began to quietly wait for the fish to be hooked.

Because of this, a fish finally took the bait.

Seeing the fishing rod shaking violently, Lin Dong was extremely excited.

"Master, I caught a fish!"

Lin Dong was excited to collect the fishing rod, but the old man didn't say anything, just smiled meaningfully.

It was like Lin Dong put away his fishing rod, only to find that what he caught was a small fish.

It's the kind of small, inconspicuous fish that can't fit between the teeth at all.
