Chapter 337: Chapter 337

Tian Guangpan begged for mercy for a long time before Aunt Guo let him go and turned to Xiao Han with a warm smile, saying, "Xiao Han, I was just looking for you. Come to my house."

"Ah, is there something delicious again?" Xiao Han said instinctively.

"It’s not food; it’s something to wear. I happened to find some cotton fabric a while back and made a layered sole for you. Try it on and see if it fits."

"Layered sole?" Xiao Han’s eyes lit up.

The last time he wore layered soles was when he was a kid.

These layered soles are not for city wearing.

Whether it’s concrete roads or tiles, if you walk with a bit of force, your heels will hurt after a few hundred meters.

The ground is too hard.

Only when walking on soil can layered soles showcase their best state, soft rebound, breathable and cool, feeling incredibly comfortable to wear!

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiao Han promptly expressed his gratitude and rode his bike to take Aunt Guo back to her home.

After entering the house, Aunt Guo told Xiao Han to pour himself some water and then turned to get the cloth shoes.

A few minutes later, Aunt Guo came out with the cloth shoes, saying as she walked, "Xiao Han, the Ba Duan Jin you taught me last time works really well. My old friends love it, each practicing better than the last. Take a look."

After speaking, she put the cloth shoes aside and enthusiastically took out her phone, opening a group chat called "Ba Duan into God" and casually played a small video for Xiao Han to watch.

Xiao Han: "...What does ’Ba Duan into God’ mean?"

And these ladies in the video, how come they all look healthier than I do?

They have money and leisure.

No wonder they are healthy.

"This old friend is called Guo Shuduo. Her family runs an orchard. Last time, she told me she really wants to see you demonstrate in person. She said the last video wasn’t satisfying enough. Are you interested?" Aunt Guo smiled at Xiao Han, pushing the cloth shoes back a bit.

Xiao Han: ".... Is Aunt Guo’s strategy so deep now?"

Before he could answer Aunt Guo, Grandpa Chen also walked in from the door, looking healthy and energetic. He said directly as he approached, "Xiao Han, help me refine my Ba Duan Jin details. I must defeat Old Zhang in the details."

Xiao Han felt a bit helpless, but he was still very happy inside.

The money spent on buying the ancient Ba Duan Jin secret manual was well worth it.

Benefitted the elders in the community.

"Alright, I’ll go over and demonstrate it for Aunt Guo Shuduo later," Xiao Han decided, recalling the experience of getting to know Ding Shuji and the others. He thought it was good to get to know more town residents.

Runs an orchard at home?

The more Xiao Han thought about it, the more interested he became.

Aunt Guo was also pleased to hear this and handed the cloth shoes over to Xiao Han, saying, "Feel free to wear them. If they wear out, I’ll repair them for you. Make sure you don’t not wear them; otherwise, I made them for nothing."

"Alright, don’t worry." Xiao Han smiled and began examining the cloth shoes.

The cloth shoes were well-made, with even twine and covered with bluish-black cotton fabric. The soles were lined with white fabric, layered and stitched, giving a very tactile feeling.

[Effective after wearing]

[Attribute: Land movement speed +10, defensive power +20]

[Special Effect - Leaping Earth: Huge jump enhancement when wearing cloth shoes on soil]

[Remark: Cloth shoes are a martial artist’s standard gear]

The attributes are fine, but it’s mainly the special effect.

Xiao Han had already envisioned himself jumping two stories high with the layered soles, easily picking elm money.

"Don’t just look, try them on," Aunt Guo said enthusiastically, completely ignoring Grandpa Chen’s envious gaze next to her.

Alas, poor old me at this age, unable to wear a pair of layered soles.

Seemingly hearing Grandpa Chen’s heart’s voice, Aunt Guo turned and glanced at him, whispering, "You wore them plenty when you were young. Don’t find faults here. I’ll make you a pair if I have the time later."

"Alright, alright." Grandpa Chen nodded quickly.

Xiao Han also somewhat clumsily put on the cloth shoes, tied the laces, and lightly jumped a few times experimentally.

There was no change at all.

Glancing at the ground, Xiao Han understood.

Aunt Guo’s courtyard was paved with large bluestones.

He could only bounce around later.

Although he couldn’t bounce, the comfort of the cloth shoes was outstanding.

It felt like wearing a cotton blanket, soft and breathable.

Wearing the layered soles, Xiao Han leisurely helped Grandpa Chen refine the finer movements.

Details determine success or failure.

That’s what Grandpa Chen has been particularly fond of saying recently.

After teaching Grandpa Chen, Aunt Guo led Xiao Han toward Guo Shuduo’s house. Along the way, she specially explained, "This Guo Shuduo is actually a distant niece of mine, but the relationship is too distant and the seniority is messy. We’re only two years apart, so we just became sisters instead of relatives."

"Then I’ll also call her Auntie," Xiao Han concluded.

Aunt Guo sighed, "Of course, otherwise you can’t call her Sister."

Guo Shuduo’s orchard was on a small hill in the northern part of town, nearly half an hour’s bike ride away.

After arriving at the orchard.

Even through two fence gates, Xiao Han used his excellent vision to spot tall loquat trees.

Amidst the green leaves, clusters of golden loquats hung, and there were quite a few fallen loquats under the trees as well, with a faint loquat fragrance permeating the air.

"There are loquats here?" Xiao Han was a bit excited. Loquats are moisturizing and clearing for the lung, a relatively good fruit for March.

After Aunt Guo shouted vigorously into the house, a petite Auntie wrapped in a scarf came out, laughing as she walked, "Why are you here at noon?"

"I brought you a teacher. You haven’t met Xiao Han in person, but you must watch him every day in the videos," Aunt Guo said with a smile.

Guo Shuduo squinted at Xiao Han, quickly walked over to remove the vines from the fence gate, and somewhat excitedly held Xiao Han’s hand.

"This young man looks even better than in the videos. Do you have a girlfriend? I have a niece about the same age as you. Want to get to know her?" Guo Shuduo said directly.

"Ah?" Xiao Han quickly shook his head, giving a pleading look to Aunt Guo.

Aunt Guo caught the signal and laughed scoldingly, "What are you saying! He’s focused on his studies. Alright, go and get some fruits for Xiao Han. The weather is getting hotter."

"No problem, no problem, fruits are unlimited here." Guo Shuduo didn’t say more. She went inside, and in a few minutes, came out with a huge fruit platter.

Besides loquats, there were wax apples, mulberries, apples, guavas, and other spring fruits.

Each was fragrant and tempting, making one’s mouth water.
