Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Handsome and Martial
"Left, left! Hey, now you're stepping on the bamboo stake on the right. Ouch! You're going to fall!"
"Hahaha, I'm telling you, Master, it would be nice to just make clothes and embroider at home. If you want to find a job outside, setting up a stall under the overpass and selling tea is a lot more relaxing than this."
The three new instructors from the martial arts school came early in the morning to practice walking on bamboo poles in the backyard. They had been doing pretty well in the basic martial arts these days, but Hou Liang was a little unsteady when walking on the suspended bamboo poles.
He was a little afraid of heights, and his hand and foot skills were weaker than Cao Qiang, who was good at whipping, and Zhao Yansheng, who was born into a martial arts family. His strength was in bandaging and treating external injuries.
Fan Jing had taken a liking to him because he was a medical practitioner. People who are skilled in martial arts tend to get injured more often than ordinary people, and flesh wounds are common. If a martial artist could learn a few methods to treat flesh wounds, it would be very useful and important.
Therefore, although Hou Liang's skills were not so good, Fan Jing still chose him.
Hou Liang roughly knew the reason why he was chosen. He also saw that there were many people who came to apply. It was not easy to be selected this time. For this reason, he cherished the opportunity to teach and practiced the basic martial arts in the martial arts school more diligently than others.
I have already passed the basic bamboo pole training before, and the difficulty has been increased today. It was already a bit strenuous, and I happened to run into the male instructors from the martial arts school who came to watch the fun.
He didn't practice well and was often teased by these idlers. He felt nervous and practiced even worse, almost falling down several times.
"They've had their fill and are now free. I'm going to teach them a lesson by giving them a couple of lashes to loosen up their muscles!"
Seeing that several tall and strong men were not practicing martial arts but were watching the fun with a grin on their faces, Cao Qiang became furious, pulled out the whip from his waist and strode towards the male instructors.
Seeing this, Zhao Yansheng wanted to hold Cao Qiang back. The martial arts school hadn't even opened yet, and the two instructors were already fighting. How could that happen?
However, Cao Qiang was angry and immediately avoided Zhao Yansheng.
"Master Cao wants to challenge us to a duel. That's exactly what we want."
Seeing this, several male teachers were not frightened at all. Instead, they became more excited and spoke without restraint.
"The notice recruiting students has been posted for a few days, and I haven't even seen two mosquitoes fly in, let alone two students signing up for the special classes. If there are no students, the instructors will have no choice but to come to our place to teach the male students."
The leading male instructor was named Pang Yulong. He rolled up his sleeves and the others followed suit and began to stretch their muscles.
"This time, we'll take a look at them first and see the abilities of one, two, or three instructors. Only if we're qualified will we be qualified to teach male students!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hou Liang quickly jumped down from the bamboo stake. If they were to rush out, they would definitely suffer. Zhao Yansheng was about to find Yao Yuan to take care of it, but he didn't know where Yao Yuan was at this moment.
Just when everyone was anxious and the situation was tense, Zhao Yansheng had not yet run out when he heard a rustling sound of wind breaking and an arrow suddenly flew through the crowd.
It hit the aggressive Pang Yulong's chin right on target and landed firmly on the back wall.
Everyone was startled. For a moment, the training ground was so quiet that one could hear the sound of the wind. Pang Yulong was especially shocked. He froze in place with a start.
The arrow happened to brush past the neck. The cold wind was like a knife wiping across the neck. Who wouldn't be scared?
Pang Yulong recovered a little and immediately covered his neck. Seeing that he was fine and not hurt, he turned around and cursed:
“Damn it, who put it there…”
Before he could finish his words, Fan Jing walked in with a longbow in one hand and a stern face.
He didn't look at anyone, but walked over slowly and pulled down the bow and arrow stuck in the wall. A cunning mouse was stuck on the arrow head.
Fan Jing pulled the dead rat off the arrow and threw it to the ground. He then raised his eyes and looked at Pang Yulong: "Instructor Pang, have you brought a few instructors here to give me some advice?"
Pang Yulong saw the dead rat, which was half the size of his fist, with its intestines ripped out, sneak past the corner of the wall without anyone noticing it, and it was killed by an arrow from outside.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and turned to look at Fan Jing. His eyes were still cold and without any murderous look, but they made people feel a chill down their spine for no reason, and they didn't dare to say anything for a moment.
I didn't take Fan Jing seriously before, but who would have thought that this taciturn guy is such a powerful figure.
The other instructors couldn't help but put away their previous playful smiles.
Seeing that they were acting like cowards for a moment, Cao Qiang sneered, "You came here just to teach me, and you almost made Instructor Hou fall off the bamboo pole."
General Pang Yulong was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward again. However, Yuan Ronghua, who was with him, felt a little angry when he saw Cao Qiang's expression and tone.
He said angrily, "People outside are surprised that our martial arts school is recruiting female students. They came to ask how many students we have and to inquire about the situation. We brothers couldn't answer, so we came to take a look. The three instructors are good-tempered and didn't answer our questions. Now they are accusing us of scaring them during training."
"That's unreasonable."
Several male teachers immediately echoed, "That's right."
Cao Qiang said angrily: "If you have no shame!"
Several male teachers took advantage of the lack of students in the specialty classes and said proudly, "Look, we asked the students, and they scolded us again."
"His temper is even greater than his ability. Instructor Fan, please give us your judgment."
Seeing that Fan Jing remained silent, the general thought that he had touched upon his soft spot. After seeing Fan Jing's abilities, he felt a little aggrieved and wanted to suppress Fan Jing again.
He asked shamelessly, "Teacher Fan, let's ask, how many students are there in the special class? Now that I know more, I can talk to my relatives and friends about it when I get home. Maybe I can even recommend a few students to join.
"Instructor Yao has been busy recruiting students lately, so the other instructors probably have some free time, so they've all had time to hang out in the specialty classes, and are also focusing on recruiting students for the martial arts school."
"Since you are so thoughtful, you must let Instructor Yao know your intentions. Wouldn't Instructor Yao be deeply touched then?"
Kang He walked in slowly from behind and said with a forced smile to the instructors, "Teachers, you are so thoughtful. This special class has already recruited twenty students. Feel free to tell your friends and relatives who want to inquire about it. The county has a long-term vision, and there are many people who are polite to Wuji men and women."
After saying that, Yihuan and Erxi led more than ten students in.
Seeing this, several male teachers were stunned and stood there. No matter how thick-skinned they were, they felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Kang He stepped forward and said, "Is there anything else you would like to teach me? Teachers, rest assured that these students are not hired help. They are all students who come here to take care of our food and sleep, waiting to be assigned."
"Brother Kang is really a jokester. How could you say you hired someone to help you?"
Everyone in our sect felt a little guilty after seeing Fan Jing killed him, and now they really couldn't stand their ground.
He said goodbye, saying that he still had practice to do, and left in a bad mood.
Kang He knew that the female instructor and the young man would inevitably not be in the eyes of these male escort instructors. It would be fine if they looked down on others, but it would be too much of a hassle for them to care about others practicing seriously.
He wanted to scold them, but then he thought that these people might not listen to him, and since they were all Yao Yuan's men, it was not appropriate.
This only made people sarcastic, but I would have to tell Yao Yuan about it later. What kind of atmosphere is this for a martial arts instructor?
Kang Heyi and Huan Erxi gave an order and led the students around the martial arts hall.
Then he said, "Are all the teachers alright?"
The three of them shook their heads, their minds still on the dozen or so young students. For a moment, joy overshadowed their previous unhappiness.
Seeing those male teachers being humiliated, I felt so relieved.
Cao Qiang said indifferently: "I have encountered many of these arrogant men. In places like martial arts halls, most of them are men, so I am used to it."
Hou Liangwei felt a little guilty: "It's also because I'm not very skilled. If I were more skillful, I would be able to teach them a lesson."
"You're not bad, and you're studying hard. It's purely their fault that they're still making fun of you. If you doubt yourself and lose confidence, you'll fall into their trap. They just can't stand seeing a girl or boy better than them, and they just think they're superior."
Kang He said, "Instructor Cao is right. Instructor Hou, please don't take it to heart. I will definitely go and explain this to Instructor Yao. We are from the same martial arts school, how can you be so rude?"
Several people tried to comfort Hou Liang, but then Zhao Yansheng, his eyes sparkling, looked at Fan Jing and said, "I'd only heard that Instructor Fan could shoot arrows before, but now I know how good he is. Look how frightened that arrogant Pang Yulong is! If he weren't a well-traveled escort with a good understanding of the world, I'm afraid that general would have frightened him to the ground."
Speaking of this, Hou Liang and Cao Qiang also showed admiration. The technique and precise control of the arrow just now were not something that ordinary archers could have.
Otherwise, it would not be able to shock those fierce Wuhan people.
Fan Jing was calm and said, "It's just that I'm more familiar with it."
After that, Zhao Yansheng couldn't help but ask, "When did Instructor Fan and Brother Kang recruit so many students? Why haven't we seen anyone come to ask about it these days? So they have so many students!"
Not only Zhao Yansheng was curious, but Hou Liang and Cao Qiang were the same.
In fact, the three of them were more happy in their hearts. Those male teachers came and chatted before, and it seemed that no one was interested in their special classes these days. Although they didn't show anything on the surface, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
If they fail to recruit students, the three instructors will most likely be fired. Even if they are not fired, it will be just as Pang Yulong and others said, and they will most likely have to teach male students.
There's nothing wrong with being a teacher, but I feel a little suffocated because I'm always inferior to the male teachers.
Of course, they would rather set up special classes and teach boys and girls, in order to keep this rare job.
On the other hand, they also sincerely hope that there will be a martial arts class for boys and girls in the county to give them another way out.
Kang He smiled and explained to them, "These are the students that Instructor Fan has been negotiating with the dental firm. They haven't been finalized yet, so they haven't been announced yet."
He outlined how to recruit students, not just by posting notices.
"I just don't want you to be irritated by the male instructors because no students have come yet."
"It's no big deal to take a sip from them, but Instructor Fan is truly a capable man, to have come up with such an idea! This is fantastic!"
"I didn't think about all that at all. I had originally thought that if the special class couldn't recruit students, I would recommend my two nephews to learn martial arts. No matter what, the special class can't be closed down just because there are no students.
Although we are hired here and paid to do this job, this job is very rare for us. We all hope that the special class can continue to operate well, not only for this job, but also for more choices for boys and girls around the world."
Zhao Yansheng also echoed, "That's exactly the case. If a young woman wants to learn martial arts, she can only learn from her family. Maybe there aren't many people she wants to learn, but those who do want to learn are often frustrated by the lack of places to learn outside."
The three of them were delighted and praised Fan Jing a lot, but this made Fan Jing feel a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips and looked at Kang He a few times.
Zhao Yansheng said happily, "Although the students' problems have been solved, I really want my nephews to come and learn. Instructor Fan's archery skills are so good, if they come and learn from him, they will benefit a lot in the future."
Cao Qiang also said: "I also have relatives at home."
Hou Liang said, "I'll go and try to mobilize some people. It would be great if I could recruit a few."
Seeing the three instructors helping them so enthusiastically, Fan Jing and Kang He were quite moved and touched.
Kang He said, "It is rare to see the kindness of the three instructors."
"If you have nephews, nieces, or relatives who want to learn martial arts, you can recommend them. After all, you all have your own strengths. We have all witnessed the abilities of our Dajing today. They will definitely learn something if they come to learn martial arts. Besides, it would be reasonable for us to patronize them when we learn martial arts."
The three of them couldn't help but laugh.
As for Pang Yulong, Yuan Ronghua and others, they were taken away by Yao Yuan in the afternoon and received a severe scolding.
"Are you guys feeling bloated after eating too much? You're doing fine in your training, but you still tease the female teacher!"
"You don't have any brothers or daughters in your family? Why do you look down on others like this? Just ask yourself, aren't you the children of brothers or daughters? If your parents had finally found a job and were doing well, how would they feel if they met someone like you?"
Yao Yuan was so angry that he grabbed a few people and scolded them, and threatened them that if they continued to cause trouble like this, they would not be worthy of being instructors and should just go back to the escort agency to escort the goods.
The few of them were unwilling to do so, so they begged for mercy from Yao Yuan and agreed to go and apologize to Hou Liang.
This was not enough. The next morning, he was brought to the entrance of the martial arts hall to perform boxing, stone lifting and other martial arts skills to attract students.
The students performed for the entire day, with people coming in and out of the martial arts hall to watch.
After a good scolding, even those who were unwilling to accept it became obedient.
On the other hand, students in the special classes were arranged to live in dormitories and wear the uniforms issued by the martial arts school. They went in and out in a similar manner.
Seeing that this special class had students, those good families outside who had originally had some intentions came over to take a look and inquire.
"Can I pay for half of my studies? Is that really that good? If we choose this half-pay option, will we learn the same as if we paid for our studies ourselves?"
"They are all the same. They are all in the same classrooms. We won't set up a separate classroom just because a student is half-studying and half-employed, or teach them half-heartedly."
"That's good, your martial arts school is good."
All things are difficult at the beginning. When the martial arts school first announced that it would open special classes to recruit boys and girls, people just treated it as a trivial matter. Some people with foresight would praise it a little, but most of them were people like the male instructors in the martial arts school.
There are some people who really want to do it, but because they see that no one is signing up, they are afraid to step forward and do it.
Once you get started, things will get better over time.
After the first batch of students have been trained, Fan Jing believes that there will be no need to go out and recruit students as hard as at the beginning, as he will have his own accomplished students as his trademark.
These students will enter various trades and get good jobs and salaries. When the common people see this, they will be more willing to spend money to teach their children a craft without anyone persuading them.
By mid-August, when the Anping Martial Arts School officially opened, a total of 28 students had been enrolled in the special classes.
Eighteen of them were from the martial arts industry, and ten were students recruited from outside, five of whom were recommended by the instructors in the martial arts school.
Regardless of their origins, there are quite a few decent students.
On Yao Yuan's side, there were forty students, many of whom were sent by martial arts schools or relatives and friends.
Comparing the two, there is not much difference between the female students and the boys.
Formal classes in this kind of martial arts school have a special timetable. For the special classes, there are seven classes every day, five of which are basic martial arts practice courses.
One class is a stunt course, including archery and whip skills, and the other is a comprehensive course, such as driving, trauma treatment, mountain and wilderness experience, etc.
The basic martial arts were mainly taught by Zhao Yansheng, who had solid basic skills, and he had the most basic martial arts courses.
Secondly, Cao Qiang and Hou Liang will also teach. During the seven days, Yao Yuan will come to teach at least three basic martial arts classes.
It goes without saying who will teach the special archery and whip techniques. The comprehensive courses are rotated and several instructors will teach them.
Fan Jing's courses are not very busy. There are five or six classes in seven days, so there is plenty to do during the day.
The half-mute never thought that one day he would become a teacher, and Fan Jing often found it incredible.
However, the teaching of martial arts is completely different from the teaching of the Four Books and Five Classics. The former relies on physical skills, while the latter relies purely on talking.
After all, Fan Jing had taught Yihuan, Erxi, Dafu, and Kanghe archery before. Although the quality of these students varied, at least he had some experience.
Initial teaching is mostly preparation-based. I often practice with Kang He at night before teaching students the next day.
He was quite good at archery lessons, but when it came to the comprehensive courses, he said that most of the time he had trouble with some things.
Kang He prepared the lesson carefully with him. If he was lucky, he could get some guidance from Mr. Fan. In this way, he could practice the lesson in advance and pass it the next day.
Compared to the past, the days are much busier, but Fan Jing is always energetic, his eyes are clear and he doesn't look tired, and he is well-groomed and neat.
Suddenly, I felt like I was back in my early twenties.
"Little Daddy, why are you so handsome?"
"His arms are so powerful, his legs are so long, his shoulders are broad, and his waist is narrow. When he holds the bow, he is as majestic as the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun."
Fan Jing was tidying up in the house. He had an archery stunt class in the afternoon, and Xiaofu was following him around the house like a little tail.
Hearing the kid mumbling something in front of him, like the buzzing of a bee, Fan Jing turned his head and asked, "What Yuan Zun?"
"The Nine Heavens Thunder God." Xiaofu repeated it again patiently, but in fact he didn't know which god this was.
"It means that my little dad is as majestic and handsome as a god."
Fan Jing stroked the longbow in his hand and looked at Xiaofu: "I've said a lot of nice things, what are you planning now?"
Xiaofu hugged Fan Jing's legs and buried his head in his waist: "Well... I also want to go to the martial arts gym with Daddy."
"My brother has the exam in two or three days. He's been studying quietly at home these past two days. I know he's at home, and I'll definitely be tempted to go to his yard to check on him, but that would be disturbing him. The exam is so important! How can I disturb my brother's mind?"
Fan Jing heard that the little guy spoke the request briefly and quickly at the beginning, but spoke the reason at the end for a long time.
He pinched Xiaofu's face and said, "It's fine as long as your father agrees."
Upon hearing this, Xiaofu jumped up with joy: "Daddy said that as long as I agree, that's all! I knew I would agree."
