At this moment, Qiu Xu and his master were already near the mountain, practicing for about half an hour.
"Ling'er, does your brother study this hard every day?" Qiu Yan felt sorry for her younger brother in this cold weather.
“Every time my brother came back, he would get up before dawn to practice martial arts with Uncle Li. He did the same when he was studying.”
Qiu Yan didn't disturb her younger brother. She just took Gu Xiaoran and her younger sister and continued their morning run, starting their return journey.
Qiu Ling'er, having been trained by Qiu Yan, is now in good physical condition. When she goes for a morning run, she is no longer as weak and frail as before.
But Gu Xiaoran is different.
He was still young, and after running five miles, he was already panting heavily.
"Mother, Yu'er is too tired, can we rest for a while?"
"No," Qiu Yan refused.
Until they turned back and returned to the willow tree by the stream.
Gu Xiaoran was out of breath from running, so she lay down on the ground and refused to run anymore.
My mother's punishment is terrible.
Qiu Yan pulled Gu Xiaoran up from the ground. "It's not over yet."
For Qiu Yan, what she had just done was merely a warm-up.
Gu Xiaoran: "Is it not over yet?"
"Ling'er, let your older sister see if you still remember the moves you learned before." Qiu Yan prepared to continue teaching her younger sister and Xiao Ran self-defense techniques.
At the very least, they can protect themselves when faced with danger.
"Okay." Qiu Ling'er readily agreed and began to demonstrate a complete set of military boxing, starting with a bow stance and punches.
Qiu Yan watched her sister's moves intently, while holding Gu Xiaoran's wrist tightly with one hand, afraid that the little brat would go off to play something else if she wasn't careful.
After reading it, Qiu Yan nodded slightly.
"Not bad, Ling'er has improved a lot in the past year."
By practicing simple moves repeatedly, I've made a lot of progress.
Qiu Ling'er smiled sweetly as she was praised. In fact, this was the only set of boxing techniques she was quite proficient in. Her older sister hadn't taught her much else, and she hadn't mastered the rest.
Qiu Yan stepped forward, gave her younger sister instructions on her movements, and then forcefully pulled her little one over.
“Yu’er, starting today, after your morning run, practice boxing with Aunt Ling’er to improve your health.”
"Ah?" Qiu Yan's words caused Gu Xiaoran immense pain, and she became completely dejected.
He wanted to sleep a little longer this morning.
"Mother, when will this punishment end?"
"It depends on my mood, Yu'er. Didn't you want to learn from me before?" Qiu Yan smiled kindly, but Gu Xiaoran couldn't be happy.
His face fell completely. "I don't want to study anymore."
He was really wrong, and he will never dare to run around like that again.
This is much harder than the squats his mother used to punish him with.
Before long, the two of them were so tormented by Qiu Yan that they didn't want to speak anymore.
Qiu Ling'er is a bit better, after all, she still has some foundation.
Gu Xiaoran, on the other hand, was sore all over that he kept begging for mercy.
Qiu Yan realized that her occupational habit had kicked in again, so she reduced the intensity.
At this moment, Qiu Dayu and Xia Minhan were helping to chop firewood in the courtyard. When the two turned their heads, they saw the willow tree by the stream...
While Qiu Yan was diligently training Qiu Ling'er and Gu Xiaoran,
He couldn't help but think of the day in the mountains when Xue Ning and the others asked Qiu Yan to teach them the moves, and his mind wandered off.
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Dayu ran out of the courtyard, and Xia Minhan followed him out.
Xia Minhan looked on with admiration. After meeting her, she couldn't help but say, "Cousin, this move is suitable for close combat. I just don't know where you learned it."
"Well, you'd have to ask Xiaoyan... Xiaoyan, who taught you these tricks?"
Qiu Dayu asked as he ran.
He had already witnessed Xiaoyan's prowess before, but now he considered himself to be no less capable.
"My dad taught me that."
Qiu Yan nodded to the two people in the distance, and then attributed the inexplicable situation to the original owner's biological father.
"Big brother... taught you that?" Qiu Dayu asked doubtfully for a moment, then patted his chest.
"Xiaoyan, do you dare to have a match with your uncle?"
