Chapter 14 The nun who can’t mend the fence
After noon.
Lindsay pulled a simple wooden flatbed cart, carrying the supplies he purchased, and walked on the road leading to the church.
At this time, he did not know that he had gained a new learning channel.
So while I was on my way, I was still thinking about the future development in my mind.
[Experience Bar] The effect is gratifying.
But this does not mean that Lindsay intends to use it superficially and simply.
He also needs to figure out the requirements for the [experience bar] to appear on the attribute panel.
restrictions on use and whether there are any hidden dangers.
Reasonably understanding and using abilities is what he should do when he has just stepped into this world.
Lindsay thought as she walked along the road.
After the heavy snow, the winter sunshine makes people feel warm.
In this border town, many residents came out to clear the snow on the roofs in front of their doors. For convenience, green smoke from fires could be seen rising from the chimneys on some roofs.
The people who built this town came from all kinds of colorful worlds.
Their preferences for their respective residences vary.
The owner's care can be seen in the carefully trimmed trees and flowers in every corner of the house.
However, limited to local materials, buildings are still mainly made of wood, and houses with brick and wood structures like churches are very rare. The road that Lindsay stepped on was basically treated with gravel.
All the way down.
Despite its age, the buildings in the town are well maintained, neat, clean and orderly, giving people a simple and comfortable feeling.
Click click click——
In the blink of an eye, Lindsay was dragging the car and could already see the church at the end of the town.
The structure of the wooden cart used to carry goods is simple, just a flat wooden board and four wheels mounted underneath. Lindsay dragged a rope and moved it along the road.
This is when he was purchasing items.
A middle-aged carpenter in town lent it to him.
The border town is isolated from the world, and the townspeople support each other and have a higher level of trust than in ordinary towns.
Especially after Lindsay revealed that he came from the church and was Red Moon's godson.
People here are even more enthusiastic about him.
When the carpenter lent him the small wooden cart, he didn't even remind him when it would be returned. He just asked Lindsey to say hello to Sister Red Moon.
This respect and trust.
It was enough for Lindsay to understand her godmother's reputation in the town.
"Now, it should have gone up, right?"
At this time, Lindsay looked at her attribute panel.
After running around all afternoon, plus pulling a trailer on the road, although there was no very professional exercise, his physical strength and experience, which was already close to full, was finally completed at this moment.
【Physique: 3】→【Physique: 4】
The experience is cleared and the physical strength is increased.
But the actual physical perception is not obvious.
Seeing the church right in front of him, Lindsay simply speeded up and jogged, and the car behind him made a clanking sound.
The physical strength value on the panel immediately began to be consumed at an accelerated rate.
Through intuitive changes in physical strength, Lindsay confirmed that her physical strength was slightly stronger than before, and her recovery speed was also slightly improved.
"It feels great to be rewarded for taking action."
Lindsay sighed and returned to the church with the supplies.
However, when he walked into the chapel, he did not find the elderly figure of the nun.
"Mammy?"
Lindsay called softly, but no one responded.
He remembered Hongyue's words when he left, and walked around to the cemetery behind the church.
Sure enough, that old figure is here.
Lindsay walked over to check and found Hongyue squatting on the edge of the cemetery, with hammering sounds coming from her side.
Red Moon is working on the cemetery fence.
She was holding a wooden hammer, and there were three wooden boards in front of her. There was a bag hanging on the intact fence next to her, which was full of nails for repair.
The wooden hammer drives the nails in one at a time to secure the boards to the fence.
but……
Doesn't it look very strong?
Lindsay immediately stepped forward: "Mommy, leave this job to me."
Hongyue did not refuse. Lindsay took the wooden hammer with few traces of use, took out a nail from the bag on the fence and started to use it.
To do this kind of work, Lindsay must have never done it before.
But young people are better at having strength. They can nail it firmly and reliably even with a little more effort!
During the process of repairing the fence, Lindsay was not idle.
He asked Hongyue for more information about the source of life:
"Mommy, I can initially feel the existence of source matter."
"But when my skills produce results, it doesn't seem to have any obvious loss?"
Hongyue collected the previously broken fences and explained at the same time:
"That's because you haven't developed the ability to consume a lot of money yet."
"For example, you know the Law Knight. The source of his energy loss when he sends out the spirit is definitely not low."
Lindsay waved the wooden hammer seriously and continued to ask:
"So regarding the essence of life and the essence of will that I possess, what is the difference between them?"
Hongyue replied.
"They are a combination of the Sefirot and the different parts of a person."
"Take your life essence as an example. When it is cultivated to a certain level, you will find that your physique has been enhanced, your wounds will heal faster, and you will age more slowly than other people."
"But you also need to note that the source of life is the combination of the source of matter and life force."
"Once you squander it and use it up, you'll immediately fall into an extremely weak state and be left to your own devices."
The advantages and disadvantages are both outstanding.
Lindsay was speechless for a moment, and then continued to ask:
"Do other sefirot have similar situations?"
Hongyue shook her head:
"This is the price of using life as the basis of source material, and others are different from this."
"The most common type of source material possessed by awakened people is actually the type that simply absorbs and utilizes the source material."
"Compared with your life essence, this kind of basic essence will be slower in recovery speed and the total amount is quite inferior. But even if they are easy to use, and even if they are exhausted, the awakened person will just be unable to perform his skills. , not too weak to move."
Lindsay nodded to express her understanding and asked again:
"What about the source of will I possess?"
Hongyue was silent for a rare moment, and then she spoke:
"This is an even rarer type. Those who practice righteousness must use it to get started, and it is related to the individual's heart. According to the book, it requires experiencing great pain or joy in the initial cultivation stage."
"The fact that you can possess this essence at the same time may also be because of your previous experience."
"..."
Mentioning the previous experience, the flames of Anweil Village ignited in my heart.
Lindsay fell silent.
The two repaired the cemetery fence amidst the hammering of hammers, and then returned to the church together to move the supplies Lindsay bought in the afternoon into the backyard.
During this period, Lindsay conveyed the carpenter's greetings.
Hongyue just nodded slightly to show that she understood.
at dusk.
Hong Yue used the damaged fences collected as firewood to prepare today's dinner.
Bread, vegetable soup, and dried meat strips.
They ate in the kitchen, where the last meat was only placed in front of Lindsay, and Red Moon only had the first two.
Snapped!
Lindsay broke off the strips of meat.
But before he could hand it over, Hongyue raised her palm and refused in a gentle but firm tone:
"That's enough for me."
"You are still growing, and you want to cultivate the source of life. There is no need to be humble to me."
Lindsay still wanted to share the meat, but Hongyue was firm.
Those dark eyes fell on her, and all her emotions fell in her heart. Lindsay couldn't resist this kindness and finally had to obey.
A few minutes passed, the two of them finished their meal, and it was getting late.
"Mommy, what should I do now?"
With the idea of cultivating the essence, Lindsay sought advice from Hongyue.
But the nun in front of her gave an answer that Lindsay didn't expect at all.
"Now, you can go play in the town."
"Although this place is isolated from the rest of the world, there are some children similar to your age. You can get along well."
"But remember not to be playful and come back within an hour after dark."
Lindsay was speechless.
He thought he still had more exercises or studies to do, but he didn't expect Hongyue to ask him to go play in the town.
Facing Lindsay's astonishment, Hongyue just said lightly:
"Work, play, study, eat, and rest."
“Human growth is indispensable.”
"So go ahead, Lindsay, and let your heart relax."
