Colorful wild flowers, lush trees, crystal clear rivers, and cobblestones as smooth as mirrors are at the foot of Jiugong Mountain.

At this time, June is on fire, as hot as a furnace.Several teenagers were playing and swimming in the river.Look at them, they suddenly dive into the water, and in the blink of an eye, they pop up again ten feet away, sometimes they paddle like dogs, chasing each other, sometimes they climb up the big trees by the river, and then they jump down, fall into the water, and smash themselves up. A huge splash, really like a fish in the river, so happy.

After having fun, a young man said: "How about we compete with each other to see who can stay in the water longer?"

The other boys thought it was a good suggestion. One boy counted three times, and several boys dived into the water. The undulating river surface was now as level as a mirror.

After a while, a boy couldn't stand it any longer, so he emerged from the water first, and then several more heads emerged.

Several young people who came out of the water looked at each other, and one young man said: "There are still Amao and Loach who haven't come out of the water."

Another young man said: "Who can stay in the water longer this time, Amao or Loach?"

"It must be Amao, he stays in the water longer every time."

"Yes, that's right."

"It's strange how the loach can stay in the water for so long this time. He is usually the first to surface."

Everyone was talking to each other, waiting for the two young men named Amao and Nili to surface.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed boy discovered a bamboo tube as thick as a little finger floating on the water.

He secretly winked at the others, and when everyone understood, one of the young men pressed down the hole on the top of the bamboo tube.

Soon, there was a crash, and another boy showed his round head, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Loach, you actually tricked me into using a bamboo tube to breathe."

The boy named Ni Loach knew that his partner had discovered that he was cheating, and he laughed awkwardly.

Everyone continued to wait for Amao, who was still submerged in the water.

After waiting for a long time, it still didn't surface, and everyone began to worry.

"Why can't Ah Mao get up? Is he suffocated in the water?" Loach asked.

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth."

After hearing what Ni Loach said, everyone began to worry.

They started calling Amao, but there was no response.

These people began to worry at this time and dived into the water one after another. When they surfaced, they had picked up a young man and swam to the shore.

"Amao, wake up..." Everyone carried Amao to the flat ground on the shore and shouted nervously, but no matter how they called, the boy who called Amao closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless.

Everyone panicked, and a young man asked urgently: "Something happened to Amao, what should we do? If Amao's parents find out, they will break our legs."

Everyone shuddered when they thought of Amao Daddy's fiery temper.

Loach said: "I heard adults say that if you are drowning, blow into his mouth and you may be able to save him."

"I've heard of it too, but I've never seen it."

"No matter, Amao is still awake. What if something happens, we have to try."

With that said, Loach leaned over and opened Amao's mouth, took a deep breath, pouted and moved towards Amao's mouth.

Just a foot away from Amao's head, Amao, who had been motionless, suddenly opened his eyes, blocked the loach's bulging mouth with his hand, and cursed: "Damn loach, your mouth is so stinky, I don't want to talk to you. Woolen cloth."

Amao suddenly woke up and everyone was overjoyed.

When he stood up, everyone looked at him with unhappy expressions.

Amao saw the unfriendly looks from his companions, laughed dryly, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why did you pretend to be dead and lie to us?"

"I thought it was fun, so I pretended to be dead to lie to you and see if it scares you. It's a surprise and excitement." Amao couldn't help laughing when he thought of how scared his friends were just now.

There was no surprise, but the excitement was quite big. Everyone was indeed frightened just now, and when they found out that Amao was playing tricks, they all rushed towards Amao.

When Amao saw other young men approaching him with ill intentions, he panicked and said anxiously: "Don't mess around, I know martial arts." He gestured with his hands.

"Snake Fist, Tiger Fist, Mantis Fist..." Although Amao kept changing his martial arts moves to make them look impressive, the children were unmoved and pounced on Amao, punching and kicking him, and then lifted him towards the river. He threw it into the water and dispersed, leaving only Amao cursing in the water.

"These guys are so cruel." Amao climbed up from the river to the bank, caressed his face that was beaten up in many colors, and grinned for a while.

"If I hadn't been merciful, I would have beaten the shit out of you."

He put his face close to the river and saw his reflection in the river. He frowned and said, "How can I go home like this? If my father sees me, he will blame me for fighting with others, and my butt will be swollen."

He thought for a while and got into the river again. When he came out of the river again, he had a foot-long carp in his hand. He looked around and saw no one around. He jumped up and landed on the shore like a hibiscus emerging from the water. On the rock, holding the fish in his arms, he ran towards the woods nearby.His body movements were agile and he ran like a flying leopard and tiger, disappearing into the woods in the blink of an eye.If anyone else had seen it, they would have never imagined that an eleven or twelve-year-old boy could run so fast.

After walking through the dense jungle for about half an hour, Amao arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The mountainside was covered with weeds, and the grass was taller than a person. Amao got into the grass without thinking.

Unexpectedly, there was a cave behind the grass. The cave was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. Amao didn't panic and walked straight in, as if he often walked into this cave.

After walking for an unknown number of steps, suddenly a spacious cavern appeared in front of my eyes.

The cave is simple, with only a stone bed, a stone platform, and a few stone benches. There is a coffee table on the stone platform, and light shines in from the cave sky above the stone platform.

A gray-haired old man was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed and his face flushed.

Amao saw that the old man was meditating and did not dare to disturb him. He quietly sat on the stone bench. However, the big fish in his arms was struggling desperately, and the fish tail kept sweeping, making a sound.

The old man opened his eyes and smiled: "You came as soon as you came, why didn't you say anything?"

Amao said: "I saw Master meditating. I knew Master was meditating, so I was afraid of disturbing Master, so I kept silent."

The old man chuckled: "No matter how silent you are, it's hard to cover up your smell. You still disturbed my rest."

Amao said: "How could it be? I took a bath in the river for half an hour."

The old man pointed at the fish in Amao's arms and said, "No matter how much you wash it, you can't get rid of the fishy smell."

Amao smiled and said, "It's not easy to get rid of the fishy smell. I cooked the fish and made fish soup for Master."

After hearing this, the old man smiled even more.

"It's just right. If you eat well and drink well, you can get twice the result with half the effort by practicing Qigong."
