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

Chapter 58 Haijiao who trains hard

Haijiao seems to be working harder.

Although he would continue to go to the guard house every day to help his grandfather Hai Xiya with official duties, but halfway through the afternoon, he was determined to leave the guard house and go to the small school field to practice riding.Usually he would meet his sister on the small school ground. Seeing her riding skills improving day by day, the sense of urgency in his heart also increased, and he practiced more seriously.

As for the daily morning archery practice, he still insists on it.Second uncle Hai Changan believed that two hundred arrows a day was enough for a half-year-old boy, so he was not allowed to practice more arrows for fear of straining his muscles.He used his free time in the evening to start practicing his sword skills.

Not long ago, a man of hundreds of families who was famous for his swordsmanship came to Suzhou from Liangzhou on business. Several military officers who practiced swordsmanship in the guard station went to seek advice from him.Hai Jiao looked on and felt that some of his tricks were quite similar to those taught by his master in his previous life, so he also went to the Bai Hu and asked him to teach him.

Where can one of those hundred households see a half-grown child?Just because Hai Jiao is the grandson of the Suzhou Guard, let him watch him fight with the Suzhou Guard military attachés from the side, and then just say a few common sense about learning swordsmanship, and that's it.After he left, Hai Jiao claimed that he had learned new skills from him and re-practiced the sword skills taught to him by his master in his previous life.

When others saw that the sword skills he practiced were indeed somewhat similar to those of Baihu, they believed them to be true.As for the people involved, Mr. Baihu, even if he heard about this rumor, he wouldn't take it to heart, right?He has guided many people in the northwest border area.

Hai Jiao insists on practicing riding, archery and sword skills every day. He also helps his grandfather with official duties and is familiar with the daily duties of a civil servant in the guard station.Not only that, every night he also had to receive cultural lessons from his uncle Xie Wenzai and two old men, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian, and learn various military techniques, battle examples, and strategies.He lived an extremely fulfilling life every day, and was very tired physically and mentally, but he became more and more confident about his future.

This confidence was not gained from his rebirth and more than 30 years of life experience in his previous life, but from the truly newly acquired knowledge and skills that gave him the confidence to control his own destiny.

The summer in Suzhou is not long.It’s just August and autumn is here.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Haijiao received a good horse that his grandparents, cousin and second uncle were looking for for him - a black horse that had just passed its third birthday.He fell in love with it almost the first time he saw it.

The day after receiving the horse, he couldn't wait to take his new favorite horse out of the city for a trial ride.After returning from the trial riding, he was in a better mood and almost always boasted about how outstanding his beloved horse was: it looked great, had strong legs, was fast, and had high coordination. It was simply perfect.He felt that he could not find a better horse.Neither the second uncle Hai Changan's horse nor the little Huang that his sister inherited from him are far inferior to it.

He also gave his beloved horse a good name: Nightwing.Because it is completely black, when it flies at night, it is as fast as if it has wings.

Haitang: "..."

She thought of the anime character with this name and could only laugh.

Seeing that Hai Jiao likes his new horse so much, Hai Xiya and his wife, Xie Wenzai and Hai Changan are very happy.They put a lot of thought into this horse, and now it has paid off.

Hai Changan also praised his nephew's diligent training to his parents and cousin: "Although Baoshun was more playful when he was a child, now that he has grown up, he has become a lot more sensible. He is very diligent in practicing riding and martial arts and is no longer lazy. In the past, I I still thought he was not very talented, but now it seems that he still has talent, but he just practiced less. Now that he has practiced more, his riding skills are already very good. In my opinion, with him in Suzhou City There are few young men of similar age who can match him. Even the young masters of several general families dare not say that their riding skills are more outstanding than his."

When Ma heard this, he couldn't help showing a proud expression: "Well, you know it! Baoshun is a child of Dingcheng. Dingcheng is so outstanding, how can Baoshun be a idiot?"

Hai Xiya twirled his beard and smiled, not showing any signs of impatience on his face. In fact, he was actually very happy in his heart.Xie Wenzai said to his cousin: "Baoshun also learned his lessons well. He could quickly understand what he was taught and draw inferences from one example. In my opinion, he does have some talent in this area, but in the past we all focused on teaching." His knowledge of history only delayed him. If he had laid the foundation since he was a child, he might be able to become a general and take command in the future!"

Hai Xiya paused and said "hmm" without saying anything.

Ma was anxious: "Thank you, cousin, don't mention this! Well, Baoshun is doing a good job as a civilian in the army. Why should he be a general or be a commander? He doesn't go to the battlefield!"

Xie Wenzai quickly changed his words: "Sister-in-law is right. I just want to praise my child for doing well in his homework and having a bright future."

Only then did Ma's face soften: "Well, Baoshun, he has been a smart kid since he was a child, and he will naturally have a bright future. In the past, he was just young and playful..."

Hai Xiya gently patted the back of his wife's hand, hinting her not to worry.He knew it well and would not really let his grandson be in danger.

Xie Wenzai also regretted that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject: "Not only is Baoshun smart, but Tangtang is actually also a smart child. She has been by Baoshun's side while practicing riding and learning the art of war. Sometimes she is even better than Baoshun. You learn quickly. Cousin, cousin, your children are all outstanding."

As Ma listened, a smile appeared on her face again.A great grandson would certainly make her extremely happy, but a great granddaughter would also be good news.Both children are her treasures.

Hai Changan laughed from the side and said: "I think Tangtang is not only smart. She practices riding harder than Baoshun. She asked me to help her train Xiao Huang, and she will also ask me diligently about feeding and training horses. It seems that she plans to do it by herself in the future, without having to trouble me anymore. When she is at home, she often goes to Uncle Cao and Uncle Lu to ask them for advice. I think she spends more time studying than Baoshundu. , the riding skills are no worse than Baoshun. If she were not a girl, she might have a better future than Baoshun!"

Hai Changan could see it. Because his sister was so outstanding, Hai Jiao had obviously made great progress, but he was still not at all proud and complacent. Instead, he worked harder and harder.He seems to be afraid that he will be compared with his sister, and cannot accept that he loses to her in riding, shooting and schoolwork.

Hai Changan told his parents what he had observed and sighed: "Actually, Baoshun doesn't need to care so much. He has already learned very quickly and is better than many teenagers of the same age. It's just that Tangtang is also very good, so he can It seems that he is relatively mediocre. But it is not a problem that he is always so tense. Now he gets up at dawn every day to practice martial arts, then goes to the guard station to work for most of the day, then runs to the small school field to practice riding, and returns home He also has to practice sword skills, listen to lectures by his cousin and two gentlemen after dark, and often stay up late into the night to do homework... He is only at this age, what if something happens to him due to fatigue? Study hard and work hard, too. It’s better to combine work and rest.”

Hai Xiya, Ma Shi, and Xie Wenzai all showed surprised expressions.They didn't stare at the reef all day long, and they really didn't know that he had been so diligent.However, it is true that children wake up early and go to bed late.People are living right under their noses, and they can certainly see this.

In the past, Hai Xiya would only be happy that his grandson was sensible and knew that he had worked hard, but he never thought that working too hard might not be a good thing.

Ma gave her husband an angry look: "Look at the good things you have done! You have pushed your child to this point, and you still think he comes home too early every day!"

Hai Xiya bowed his head to accept the criticism.He turned to look at his cousin and adopted son: "Then...how should I persuade the child?"
