I don't know an easy way to hide one middle block

There's an easy way to hide TWO blocks, one from the start and the
other from the end:

Select what you want to see, and M-x narrow-to-region RET
(There's also narrow-to-defun and narrow-to-page)

To see the whole again, M-x widen RET



You can also use the outline-minor-mode which allows to hide the
bodies of the functions.
