After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 26: Start practicing martial arts (already completed)

Hai Jiao didn't feel that Hai Tang had any ulterior motives at all. Instead, he was very moved. He felt that a little girl was willing to accompany him to do such a hard work as martial arts. She was really a considerate and good sister!
Although he has announced that he will start practicing martial arts hard from tomorrow, there is still a long time today and he cannot waste it.

So he took his sister to go out, preparing a set of weapons such as bows and arrows, knives and guns for each of them to facilitate their martial arts practice.For this reason, he brought all the pocket money he had saved, which was full of about ten taels of silver.Haitang also followed Xiao Haitang's memory and dug out her savings. She didn't have a dozen or so, but she still had three to five strings of money and five or six silver melon seeds.Grabbing a thick piece of furoshiki, the brother and sister went out.

The second uncle, Hai Changan, was leaning against the window sill for fun. He smiled and stopped the brother and sister: "I want to buy a set of weapons. It will cost dozens of taels of silver at least, and I don't know how long it will take." , why bother? My second uncle has bows and arrows that I have used in the past, and I can lend them to you. As for swords and guns, let’s use the old weapons at home for the time being, and see if they are comfortable with them.”

Hai Jiao thought it was reasonable, but he felt that he was fine with using a knife.When he was a secret agent of Jin Yiwei in his previous life, he was accustomed to using a knife. He also learned the knife skills seriously from his master and was very good at using it.As for marksmanship, you should learn it carefully so that you can use it on the battlefield.I remember that my father, Hai Dingcheng, also used swords and guns during his lifetime. His old things are still there and can be borrowed.

After Hai Jiao put away the money, he went to his grandmother Ma to borrow his late father's belongings.

Ma didn't want to give it up: "You go and learn horse riding first. When you have mastered riding and shooting, and you are taller and stronger, it will not be too late to use your father's sword and gun. How old are you? Where? Can you use your father's weapons? There's no need to ruin a good thing."

Haijiao had no choice but to borrow his second uncle's old bow and arrows to practice archery.If there was no ready-made target at home, I found a blank wall and drew a few concentric circles on it instead.The children's version of the bow and arrow he used when he was learning archery when he was a child was originally intended for his cousin Xiao Shitou, but now he has given it to his younger sister Haitang.

Hai Jiao tried shooting a few arrows by himself and thought it was okay. The bow that his second uncle used was a low-power bow used in the military. It was a bit difficult for him, but he knew the skills and the posture was correct. As long as he took his time, Just build up your strength.

Second uncle Hai Chang'an stood behind him specially, paying attention to his posture and the way he drew the bow. Seeing that he didn't make any mistakes, he smiled and said: "It seems that you have been learning archery from me since you were a child. You are quite serious and everything I teach you is perfect." Remember. It’s just that this bow is too strenuous for you. My second uncle will make you a new bow tomorrow, and you will be able to use it smoothly."

Hai Jiao said: "I don't need a new bow, this bow is quite good. Once I eat more food and gain strength, I will be able to use this bow smoothly again!"

Hai Changan rolled his eyes at him: "Nonsense! You are still young and you forcefully pull the bow. What if you injure your muscles and bones? You won't become fat with one bite, so don't show off!"

Hai Jiao then nodded obediently: "Then... I'll thank my second uncle."

Hai Changan smiled and touched his head, then looked back at his niece Haitang.Obviously this child has never seriously learned archery, she just imitated her brother's posture. Unexpectedly, she is quite decent, and the arrows she shoots can hit the target, and her accuracy is better than when Haijiao first learned archery.

He couldn't help but praise: "Tangtang is quite talented. I think she is better than a little stone."

Haitang turned around and thanked him for the compliment with a smile.

Xiao Shitou heard this in the house and quit: "Dad! I want to shoot too!" However, his mother Hu stopped him: "Don't mess around! Your illness is not cured yet!" But Xiao Shitou coughed and made a fuss. When I came out to play with my brothers and sisters, I was slapped hard on my butt by my mother: "Shut up!" Then he stopped.

With a smile on her face, Hai Jiao felt that such a warm daily life was so happy.He was immersed in such a happy life. In order to protect such happiness, he secretly made up his mind. No matter how tiring and painful the martial arts training was, he would persevere to the end!
Haijiao had been practicing archery for a long time, but he could no longer lift his arms.Hai Chang'an smiled and pulled his nephew away, taking medicinal oil to massage him, while Haitang was pulled away by his grandmother Ma Shi.

In his early years, Ma often massaged his son Haidingcheng with medicated oil after he practiced martial arts, and he was very skilled at this method.Now when I use it for my granddaughter, it is still a precious sword. I just used it with enough strength out of habit, and it made Haitang moan and scream: "Be gentle... Grandma, be gentle... It hurts... It hurts so much!" Shi lost a little strength, but couldn't help but scolded: "Does it hurt? Just know it hurts! How old are you? You are a girl again. Your brother wants to practice martial arts, why are you messing around with him?! Uh-huh. After all, the Hai family is also a well-known official family. Even if they can't raise a famous lady, the girl in the family can't grow into a big and thick tigress, right?! You are not afraid that your hands will become thicker and you will not be able to pick up a needle in the future. , Can’t twist the thread, can’t get married when you grow up?!”

Haitang heard something coming out of her left ear and right ear, and even though she complained of pain, it was mostly just pretending.Although she had just started practicing martial arts not long ago, she subconsciously knew how to exert force, save effort, and how to avoid straining muscles. In addition, she exercised every day, took nutritional solutions, and used relatively light children's bows and arrows, so she practiced After half a day, I was not exhausted.Just seeing her brother Hai Jiao's hard work, she pretended to be exhausted so as not to arouse suspicion from her family.

After Ma's muscles were rubbed all over her body and she was finally let go, Haitang began to wander around full of energy again.

Then halfway, he was called over by Xie Wenzai's cousin.

Except for Xie Wenzai and her, there was no one else in the room.

The former whispered: "Tangtang, you have helped the elders come up with good ideas twice. My cousin never thought that you are such a smart child!"

Haitang wasn't sure if he really suspected her, but she had already thought of a countermeasure: "Cousin, didn't you always praise me for being smart before?"

Xie Wenzai smiled.How can this be the same?In the past, Haitang was quick to memorize books, learn words quickly, articulate, and think quickly. She was naturally much smarter than girls of the same age.But she is still a child.Like today, it is really unexpected to come up with solutions to difficulties faster than adults.Is this something that an eight or nine-year-old child can do?Xie Wenzai subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But Haitang said confidently: "I used to just listen to my grandpa and grandma. I didn't need to help with any ideas? But today, don't you think of a way? It was the same when we were outside the city. Cousin, you and me Grandpa can't think of a way, I will tell you when I think of it."

Xie Wenzai was speechless immediately, and after a while he smiled and said: "My cousin always feels that Tangtang is much smarter than before since she got sick..."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Haitang sighed heavily, "It's very cold in the carriage. When I'm sick, my heart feels like it's been scorched by fire. I feel really uncomfortable, and the medicine I take is also very painful. But my illness still can't be cured. No one can help me. As long as I can live in a warm house as soon as possible and get better as soon as possible, I am willing to do anything. In the past, I only had to be obedient, but this time Grandpa Grandma had nothing to do, so I had no choice but to come up with ideas..."

Xie Wenzai was stunned for a moment, and then felt very ashamed, ashamed that he had suspected the child.

As an elder, he prevented the children from going to the city, and he couldn't come up with enough medicinal materials to cure their illnesses. How could he have the nerve to suspect that the children were too smart and knew how to save themselves? !
He looked into Haitang's innocent eyes and could no longer utter any doubt.

Haitang escaped so easily.

Thanks to my great uncle for being such a kind-hearted gentleman, he is really easy to fool.
