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

Chapter 42
Haitang started practicing martial arts for some time.

However, compared to her brother Hai Jiao who goes out for a run and shoots a hundred arrows every morning, she spends more time in the yard at home, practicing circle running, variable speed running, and obstacle running. The main purpose is to keep fit. Physical exercise, while doing basic Qinggong exercises.Although she also practices archery, she uses a children's version of the bow and arrows, so the strength cannot be compared with her brother's bow and arrows.Everyone in her family knew what she was doing, but they thought she was just playing and not practicing martial arts seriously.Hai Jiao heard about what his sister was doing, but he didn't take it to heart either.

Therefore, he was so surprised when Haitang now asked him to teach her martial arts.

Hai Jiao hesitated for a moment and then said to his little sister: "Why do you practice martial arts well? This is very hard. You are still young, why do you have to suffer like this? Things like today don't happen every day. You just need to Just stay at home, don't go out and run around, and if you encounter danger, just run home to us and everything will be fine."

Haitang disagreed: "If the enemy invades the city, or if I encounter a gangster when I go shopping, where will I have time to run home and ask for help? Of course, I have the ability to protect myself. Our family is a military household, and now In the northwest border town, it is not a big deal for girls to learn martial arts. Brother, didn’t you listen to what Grandma said? No matter how gentle a woman is, when the barbarians invade the city, she will still pick up a knife to chop people! Grandma can chop people I can also chop people. The aunt of the Wang family usually looks very delicate, but she can still crack a whip and beat spies! I can't be worse than her, right? After learning martial arts, I can usually do nothing without it, but when I really encounter When danger comes, I have to be able to use it at any time! Otherwise, when the bad guy comes at me with a knife, I will regret not learning martial arts from my brother. Wouldn’t it be an unjust death?!"

Hai Jiao thought for a while and felt that his sister's words made sense.Although the Hai family has now escaped the catastrophe, and the brothers and sisters no longer have to worry about their family being ruined, how can one be certain about things in this world?

In his previous life, when he was living a good life, he never expected that he would be robbed and enslaved by barbarians.

After he went through all the trouble to settle down in his hometown of Yongping in his previous life, he never expected that the huge Hai family would be completely defeated, forcing him to no longer be able to gain a foothold in his hometown and could only flee in a hurry.

In his last life, he worked as a secret agent in Jinyiwei for ten years, and he had his own house in the capital. When he could consider marrying a wife and settling down, who would have thought that he would be betrayed by his boss without any warning, become a scapegoat, and be lost? Where is life?
If he had been better and more capable in his previous life and could have protected himself, he would not have ended up like that.

The younger sister is a girl, who is weaker and weaker than him as a man, and is more vulnerable to harm when encountering danger.Wouldn't it be a good thing if teaching my sister some martial arts skills could help her better protect herself in times of crisis? As for being able to wait until her family rushes to rescue her?

As my sister said, the Hai family is from a military family, and it is perfectly normal for a daughter from a military family to learn martial arts.He couldn't ask his sister to be a dignified and gentle lady just because the Hai family was now rich and his grandfather was an official.The Hai family hasn’t reached this level yet!

Besides, even if my grandfather becomes a high-ranking official and my sister becomes a rich lady, I can still practice martial arts.

His benefactor was the daughter of an official, and she was smart. If she hadn't been frail, how could she be manipulated by others and unable to save herself?

Hai Jiao has experienced the tragedy of his benefactor and never wants his sister to take this path.

Hai Jiao quickly made up his mind: "Okay, you can learn if you want to. As long as it is something that my brother knows and you want to learn, I will teach you. It's just that practicing martial arts is very hard. You can't fish for three days and sunbathe for two days." Internet users, if you slack off too much, my brother won’t teach you!”

Haitang just wanted an excuse to practice martial arts openly.Before she made this request, she had insisted on exercising every day, so how could she be lazy?She has always attached great importance to the skills that can save her life.

She happily agreed to her brother's request and even pulled his sleeves to act coquettishly: "Grandma, brother, go and speak for me. I'm afraid grandma will scold me and say that I want to become tall and thick. It’s a joke.”

"It's okay, it's all taken care of by my brother." Hai Jiao thought the little sister's coquettish look was cute, "Didn't Grandma praise Aunt Wang? With this example, she won't scold you." Hai Jiao took over. For this task, I took the initiative to go to Ma to ask for help.

Haitang hid under the window of the main room and was a little surprised to hear that Ma agreed to her grandson's request without much hesitation.

Perhaps because of the example of Wang Chengfu's wife, Ma now feels that it is not a bad thing for her daughter's family to have some self-defense skills living in a northwest border town.Wang Chengfu's wife only knew how to use a whip. If she could use a knife, there would be no need for Wang Chengfu to fight the spies by himself that day, and there would be no need for Haitang to make unreasonable decisions. The couple could deal with the spies by themselves.

Moreover, the Hu people might attack Suzhou City again at any time. If the defenders were negligent and allowed them to enter the city, everyone in the Hai family would have to rely on their own abilities to survive.As long as she is old, she has to hold a hatchet to protect herself.My granddaughter is only a little older. If she doesn't know how to do anything, wouldn't it be easy to lose her life?

Therefore, Mrs. Ma specially told her grandson: "She is small and weak. The most important thing now is to let her learn to ride a horse first, so that it will be easier for her to escape."

Hai Jiao thought that there would be no more wars in Suzhou in the next few years. Grandma's reason was meaningless.It was just a rare nod from her old man, so why should he talk too much and add obstacles to his sister's path to learning martial arts?He agreed immediately.

Ma continued: "When Tangtang learns to ride a horse and then learn to use a sword, that will be enough. She is still young and cannot use other skills. Don't waste your efforts and ruin your body."

Hai Jiao said hurriedly: "It's just to teach her some martial arts, and I don't want her to train as hard as a soldier in the army. What does it matter if she is younger?"

Ma thought about it and waved his hand: "As long as you know it in your mind, if you don't understand anything, just ask your second uncle, don't worry."

Hai Jiao happily went out to tell her sister the good news.Before the brother and sister could have fun, Ma guessed that her granddaughter must have been hiding outside the door just now and eavesdropped. She said loudly: "Don't just be happy! Even if you agree to let your brother teach you martial arts, you can't forget it." The real lessons you need to learn! You are about to be nine years old, and you are a big girl. You need to learn more needlework! Otherwise, if you only know how to wield a knife and a gun, but do not know how to embroider and tailor clothes, you will not be able to get married in the future!"

Haitang smiled secretly and took her brother Hai Jiao back to the house: "Don't worry, grandma, my brother and I are both civil and military students, so we won't delay our serious homework. It's just that if you want to do your job well, you must sharpen your tools first. I I’m about to learn martial arts, so I can’t use my second uncle’s or my brother’s weapons, right? Can grandma help me get a new weapon first so that I can learn more easily?”

Ma suddenly made a long face: "No! How heavy a knife can you hold for such a small person? I gave you a light knife. When you are two years older, it will no longer be suitable for you. Do you want to make a new knife? You are so beautiful! Oh, why don’t you spend this money? Just ask your second uncle to find some pieces of wood and make a wooden knife for you to play with. As long as you can dance with the firewood at home Knife, if anything happens in the future, grandma will let you use the hatchet!"

Haitang couldn't help but sigh: "I don't need any wooden swords or new swords. I want a whip that is easy to use. This is not difficult, right?"

"Whip?" Madam Ma was startled, "What do you want a whip for?" She immediately thought of something and was even more surprised, "Do you want to learn how to use a whip like Wang Chengfu's wife?!"

"That's right!" Haitang smiled and nodded heavily, "Aunt Wang is good at whipping, I can be better than her!"
