Chapter 31 - 31 30 Arming Up
?Chapter 31: Chapter 30 Arming Up Chapter 31: Chapter 30 Arming Up When I arrived, I didn’t feel a thing, but on the way back, Gao Yuan felt like his entire body was aching to death.
What pissed him off the most was that his legs started cramping. He had to stop and rest for a while, stretching his legs, otherwise, Gao Yuan really couldn’t walk.
“Your stamina really is lacking…”
Xiang Weiguo looked unimpressed. Though he was tired too, because running through the mountain trails for hours would tire out anyone, he—being in his sixties—hadn’t reached the point of getting leg cramps.
Gao Yuan felt helpless and yet defiant, but Xiang Weiguo’s example was right there before him. He, a man in his twenties, couldn’t keep up with a man in his sixties. What more could he say?
“I’m doing quite well, actually. I even exercise every day. Believe it or not, among those who work in an office like me, some wouldn’t even be able to walk this far.”
Xiang Weiguo thought for a moment, then nodded, “That’s true. People’s living conditions are getting better and better, but their physical fitness is getting worse and worse. Back when I collected grain, I carried over a hundred pounds of corn up to the roof without any problem. My father would carry wheat from the field on a carrying pole, picking up three hundred pounds of wheat in several trips. When he went to the market, he carried mountain goods of over two hundred pounds, and coming back, he’d be loaded with things like flour, weighing another two hundred pounds, and he wouldn’t need many breaks while walking through the mountainous paths, and that’s a round trip of fifty miles.”
Gao Yuan had no choice but to sit down on a rock again, strenuously straightening his leg and trying to stretch his toes straight as well, grimacing in pain, “That was then, nowadays who still uses a carrying pole? I’ve grown up without ever seeing one, help me straighten my foot, it’s killing me!”
Gao Yuan was trying hard to straighten his big toe as well, but the movement hurt, and if he didn’t move, the cramping in his leg was even more painful.
Luo Xingyu held Gao Yuan’s foot while Xiang Weiguo pushed her aside, hoisting Gao Yuan’s leg onto his shoulder with force, and stood up.
“It hurts! It hurts!”
“Endure it for a while!”
